Just want to share this here because that narrator is fire (and also because my adhd brain could never undertake Worst Journey and maybe I should stop blaming ADHD for the fact that I can't read anymore...)
youtube
Audiobook!
#Polar exploration#Worst Journey in the World#I listen when I can't read anymore and I go back to reading when I feel better so I think that's a good compromise...#Apsley Cherry Garrard#Terra Nova Expedition#That book is amazing... t#just the introduction with Campbell's group was so interesting! and that's not even chapter 1!!

seated for watching sinners again next week with oomf but would like to say how…. funny it is people think that remmick is *genuine* in his intentions with everyone in the juke joint. yes, remmick is irish, and has a mutual history of trauma, but this doesn’t change him killing and forcibly turning black people against their will and forcibly assimilating them into *his vision* of freedom (which is another form of domineering subjugation) and seeking sammie’s gift (the manifestation of black culture and community) to do so. and analyzing the nuanced historic dynamics between irish and african americans is key here, too. I like remmick. I think he’s a great villain, and I’m very excited to see him on screen again. however, pretending that he’s so different from the klan and isn’t villainous kind of misses what makes him so scary and enthralling to watch. so much focus on grace being “secretly evil” when y’all should direct it at remmick! anyway, to my people- SHEEP if yall would have went outside!!!!
#T UP FAMILY y’all stay safe#I would resist evil white man yes I would#likeeeee I think remmick is a good villain but he’s also evil and arguing that he’s not#and that he has a POINT is actually kinda crazy open up a book idk#or stop falling for flowery words from white people#remmick is like yeah those klan members were going to slaughter you in the morning if we didn’t show#and everyone forgets he also killed the people kn the joint#there’s a false dichotomy between the vampires and the klan I think coogler is doing and I wish ppl could see#sinners#sinners 2025#sinners 2025 spoilers#I guess I’ll tag as spoilers because this is still a fresh movie#highly recommend an amazing amazing film#sinners spoilers#remmick#sammie moore#no like truly I think remmick is an amazing villain but imma need the wooby fics to chill out#you can write what you want but let’s get real

Since cheetah William is a kitty cat, he has a habit of scratching on things like furniture, and he also can’t fully retract his claws like other felines so he accidentally scratches the shit out of Zeke sometimes too. So because of that I thought it would be funny to draw him wearing cat claw caps that Zeke got for him so he couldn’t scratch anything anymore(however he does NOT fuck with them at all)
It kinda looks like he has on sparkly red nail polish
#fun fact I wore the sort of shirt that Zeke has on to bed last night night and I wore a Green Day t shirt like William has on today#aren’t I amazing at figuring out what kind of clothes fictional characters may wear at home/j#spiralshipping#🦓❤️🐆#spiral furries#cheetah William#William Emmerson#william schenk#🐆🌀🧩#zebra Zeke#Ezekiel banks#Zeke banks#🦓🌀🚔#spiral from the book of saw#spiral 2021#spiralposting#saw#sawtism#sawtistic#sawposting#saw furries#fanart#doodle#yippee

They should make a Gwenpool movie where it starts out live action and then it turns animated when she goes into the comic book universe :3
And it's maybe animated by the same people who made the Spiderverse movies
#they're really amazing at incorporating the feel of being in a comic book in a 3D space#i really want a gwenpool movie T-T#there is so much potential with her#gwenpool#gwen poole#ugh that one scene in the comics where she learns to travel back and she talks to herself#i want that animated NOW

Hi! So, update on your SoS propaganda campaign... it has worked frighteningly well on me. I finished the first 2 books in less than 2 weeks, which is impressive when you consider dyslexia is a thing. I'm currently only held back from devouring the third because of the library wait list. Impatience is making me chew on my non-existent shield. I might need to make fan art. Truly, you are a monster.
Yessssss yessssssssssssss
More people to suffer with me as we wait impatiently for the next book in the series to become available by whatever means.
Unrelated to the SoS, but Jorge keeps getting cameos in all the books, and I am desperate for him to get a boon of his own someday. Give me a story about the rakish ace dreaming god paladin with a heart of gold who would put his life in danger to help the silly berserkers. Please Kingfisher I beg--
Also since you've read book two, you've officially read my favorite book in the series congratulations! Istvan and Clara are a treasure. I am kissing them on the tops of their heads.
#answering asks#t kingfisher#saint of steel series#i mean all of them are good#stephen and grace have Cozy Introvert Vibes#istvan and clara are a Power Couple with amazing senses of humor#Piper and Gaelen are the epitome of Angsty Guy And The One Who Refuses To Let The Angst Happen#and Shane and Marguerite are just... soft to me#and all of them make each other feel safe <3 my heart#i am 90% sure Judith is going to be the last book in the series#so im crossing my fingers Wren is the next protagonist#berserker baker my beloved#sorry these are my comfort books#ive reread the series 4 times this year#im those people who ride the rides at disney world so often they start smiling fondly at the cobwebs

BEFORE I FORGET AGAIN
I was overanalyzing the little details in the background of TADC episode 4 when it came out (I don't, usually) and noticed a little detail that not many seem to have caught:
The big red book is labeled "MatPat theory - volume 37"
That was it, that was the post. Cross out.
#also there are bees. a l o t of bees#and the number 57 in the corner#and a book with XDDCC written on it? is it relevant?#the amazing digital circus#tadc#tadc episode 4#tadc ep 4#game theory#matpat#easter egg#overanalyzing#cross rambles#cross is (also) multifandom

Day 26: Tangled
Bowman of Wellwood by Nina Jamesine
The book Bowman of Wellwood is by @neonthewrite, and it is one of my favourite books ever!! The story is an exciting and inspiring adventure, and it was the first story that popped into my mind when I saw that today's prompt was "Tangled"! 😁
I'd recommend this book to any G/T fan, and I'm so excited to finally recommend this book on my blog!! The size difference interactions are GOLD, and scenes from this story live in my head! I love the characters, and the character development is really well-written! This story has a place in my heart. The book is absolutely worth buying, and I'm glad that it is on my bookshelf!! 😁
#gtjuly#gtjuly2023#g/t#giant/tiny#g/t recs#my recs#Bowman of Wellwood#I'm SO glad to finally recommend this amazing book!!

bllk sometimes genuinely reads like part shonen sports manga, part psychological manga, and part self-improvement book
#fangirling for a bit but hey this blog exists for it#some things ego said i have found in self improvement books im not even kidding#the wordings are a bit different but the main idea is there#i could also raise that it is a very “grind” and competitive philosophy that is very traditionally masculine in some parts B U T hey#im not here to make an essay I GRADUATED IM NOT MAKING ESSAY ABOUT MEDIA ANALYSIS FOR A WHILE but boy#bllk is packed and is a really good source to analyze about tbh. if you try to break it down and make it a good paper it is legit possible#it has its flaws but knsr's foreshadowing and consistency in many parts are amazing storytelling wise#many mangas and media do this but honestly. you can start busting out papers and books to analyze bllk and it will work#from chekov's gun to many others#and nmr's art skgskjgsdjfh man. mannnnnn#babblings#okay back to work hahahahah enough procrastinating i miss reading i miss writing

so i read What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher and goddamn that was good. this is actually the second fall of the house of usher retelling that ive read recently (funny that it happened twice), and i really enjoyed it. the mushrooms were very fucked and to be honest i liked them more and found them much more unnerving than the mushrooms in Mexican Gothic. also loved the large amounts of random lore about the traditions of gallacia. very literally i am not a woman i am a soldier.
#on todays episode of i read a book and now need to wordvomit about it#queer horror#what moves the dead#what moves the dead t kingfisher#t kingfisher#also the cover art is fucking amazing i want to eat it#however it would definitely infect me with a fungus that would drive my corpse around like a go cart

I can’t describe how much I love that tv shows are embracing the fanfic version of storytelling that is more character driven than plot driven.
I talked about it with ofmd and now with good omens. plot is needed and plot is good but it doesn’t have to be one epic, convoluted storyline after the other. sometimes I just want fun people being stupid and having a good time (or bad times too cus drama is also fun but I’m a hurt/comfort kinda gal rather than just hurt so I want that happy ending lol).
lotta fanfics are focused on the relationships between characters and the plot is just there to further that.
most mainstream shows end up shaping the characters to fit the massive plotlines, even if that means needing to go against previously established traits, especially when they are a few seasons in and feel they need to always make the next thing bigger and crazier than the last (once again looking at you steven moffat) ((writers of later seasons of supernatural and game of thrones also comes to mind)). that’s fun too sometimes, but i want more of this. slice of life. personal and cozy.
#fanfiction#fanfics#ofmd#good omens#our flag means death#I’ve read FAR more amazing fanfics than good books and it’s kinda insane#shut up jonna#i’m back on my bullshit#I do t know how many times I’ve talked about this now but I’m not about to stop because I love it SO MUCH

It’s so funny how rereading one single ya dystopian series has made all my daydreams go from something mundane and beautiful to like… “me and Bakugo are surviving a war against reproductive rights🙂” and I’m genuinely having a good time
#I am twelves years old#and lowkey it’s berry nice#altho it’s nice I keep craving to read fanfics abt the ships in these totally irrelevant books#like written on par with what y’all write#I’m going insane I had a daydream ant not only going to hs with Bakugo but having a teenage pregnancy😭😭😭😭#lowkey one of my fave days dreams I’m still obsessed with is from … ok you know what I will stop there LMFAO#but zamn.#I dont wanna say the reason I haven’t been active on here much is bc I’m reading books#bc I’m totally having a weird decline rn#but also like. I do think my need for creative outlets is being fed by FUCKKNG YA NOVELS#but hey they taught me how to do tf what I DO!#so there’s that#and I’ve basically spent the last week on the bathtub reading books instead of being on the phone#probs like … 3 hrs of my day is bath LMFAO#coping like this is amazing#oh well going back to my apartment tomorrow where the bath ain’t sh*t so that will fix that#love u all dearly miss u all dearly#hope you’re all well🩷#caitie blabs
