Charlie: Sorry… I talk a lot, don’t I…?

Jasper: Yes, but it’s nice. I like hearing your thoughts.

Ben: If you say anything else on this topic I’m going to murder you.

Book 30 of 70

Early Riser by Jasper Fforde

402 pages, published 2018

Medium paced

Genre- Fantasy

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She used to only play "Help Yourself," but now she only plays "Delilah." Is that normal?

"It's not unusual.”

― Jasper Fforde, Early Riser

A book set in an alternative Britain where humans can hibernate throughout the winter, Charlie "Wonky" Worthing finds himself investigating a viral dream which has a bad habit of turning the dreamers into night walkers.

When my book feels impossible and I feel like a talentless worm I persevere because I know that Craig Silvey never once doubted his qualifications while writing Honeybee

[writerlunawinters]

“Sorry.

Sorry means you feel the pulse of other people's pain as well as your own, and saying it means you take a share of it. And so it binds us together, makes us trodden and sodden as one another. Sorry is a lot of things. It's a hole refilled. A debt repaid. Sorry is the wake of misdeed. It's the crippling ripple of consequence. Sorry is sadness, just as knowing is sadness. Sorry is sometimes self-pity. But Sorry, really, is not about you. It's theirs to take or leave.

Sorry means you leave yourself open, to embrace or to ridicule or to revenge. Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness, because the metronome of a good heart won't settle until things are set right and true. Sorry doesn't take things back, but it pushes things forward. It bridges the gap. Sorry is a sacrament. It's an offering. A gift.”

-Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey

⭑ Sent down to earth with the rest of the group, only for a petty crime of trying to feed your sick mother. You had stolen someone else’s rations and a fight broke out. 

⭑ Being in the ship’s cell had hardened you somewhat, but you were able to talk to Clarke who was next door to you. 

⭑ The day you landed on earth, was the day that everything changed. 

⭑ You were no longer safe.

⭑ And so you stood behind those with loud mouths and bravado. John Murphy was the best option, and soon Bellamy was the camp leader. 

⭑ You didn’t like the others on earth, but you did take a liking to Clarke, Octavia, Wells, Jasper, and Monty. 

⭑ Slowly you became part of Clarke’s crew - 

⭑ And Bellamy seemed like such a big arch-nemesis at the time 

⭑ But over time you learned to trust each other, because you had no other choice. And when you saw that changed in Bellamy, something in you shifted. 

⭑ As a significant other, Bellamy is very protective but also very caring. 

⭑ He wants to make sure that you feel comfortable and safe at all times. 

⭑ He can get a bit jealous, but not overly. He isn’t possessive either. 

⭑ Bellamy loves cuddling. And he’s very good to cuddle as well. There’s no greater feeling than having his arms wrapped around you. Nowhere else do you feel this safe. 

⭑ Before doing anything dangerous, Bellamy cups your face in his hands and rubs his lips over your lips. And like a promise, he tells you he loves you and kisses you so deeply. 

⭑ When you’re alone together, you talk about the future and what you want. If you want kids, where you’d want to live etc. If you think of something midday, you’ll try and find each other to add it to the list. E.g., “I want a flower garden” or “I changed my mind I want to live by a lake” etc. 

⭑ He always makes sure that you’ve eaten, and if you’re hungry he’ll get you whatever you want (or whatever is closest to it). 

⭑ You share a room/tent (I mean it changes doesn’t it!) And he has minimal possessions, I mean everyone does now. But you have your little knick-knacks that you’ve created, little gifts from friends. 

⭑ The moment Bellamy fell fully in love with you, was when you had found a few of his favourite books. 

⭑ He doesn’t mind PDA. Bellamy will wait for you to sit next to him so he can hold you against his chest. 

⭑ He would really appreciate you listening to him when he opens up. Not a lot of people know a lot about Bellamy’s interests, hobbies, likes, and dislikes. 

⭑ He would want to marry you, or if that wasn’t possible, he would want to commit to you as much as possible. 

⭑ You do worry about him a lot. It’s in his nature to protect, defend and lead. He raised Octavia, so it’s ingrained in him to be the first to react and step up. 

⭑ He gets surprised when you remember things about him. Especially memories and other people in his life that are long gone

⭑ Bellamy teaches you skills, he doesn’t want you to have to rely on anyone. 

⭑ Doesn’t like it when other people look at you with lust in their eyes. He will move closer to you, but not be too obvious

Theme Song:

Relationship Tropes:

10 Characters, 10 Fandoms more

Oh no @pinayelf has tagged me again so I'll have to do another set! :"(

(thank you Ellie! I already did one and I was crying because I left out characters, here it is if you or anyone wants to read it)

Tagging: @aimee-maroux @everythingispoetry @owlask @raflesia65 @morgandarcyarts @sapphireangelbunny @idolsgf @zenstrike @rowanisawriter and YOU!

1. Sir Gawain

We stan a bi king (in the poem he kisses the Lord THRICE. Out of his own will. In another he kisses Lancelot. On his lips.). I love Gawain in any declination, Arthurian cycle, medieval poems, Merlin and the latest movie. I put Dave Patel because visually it's the one that I like the most, but give me a Gawain and I'll like him.

2. Boromir - Lord of the Rings

I spent half my life hating him, then I REALISED. And now he's my sweet pea the apple of my eyes I love him and I'll defend him. Movie kinda did him dirty, but AAAAAH.

3. Beatrice - Much Ado About Nothing

Fiercely loyal sarcastic queen who can and will stand up to herself. I love her. Absolutely flawless.

4. Chrisjen Avasarala - The Expanse

She's everything and I love her more than words can say. Old professional lady cursing like a sailor and speaking her mind clearly. Was very torn between putting her or Ripley in the first batch, but Ripley got precedence out of seniority of my obsession. I couldn't suggest you (anyone you are reading) this show enough, and she is one of the big reasons (she and Bobbie. I love Bobbie <3).

5. Evie Carnahan - the Mummy

She's everything and I will fight for her.

6. Kronk - Emperor's New Groove

I quote this movie more than it would be healthy to do. Yzma comes a close second but it's him.

7. Madalena - Galavant

I stood there 10 minutes trying to decide whether to put her or King Richard. But this single scene was the one that made me fall in love with the show and how it turns tropes around and so yeah. This list was short of villains, furthermore and she is everything, go slay, queen.

8. Jasper Fahey - Grishaverse

As previously stated, you give me a chaotic blorbo with a flair for theatrics and I'm yours forever.

(another fave is Nikolaj, but here goes Jasper because you know. Less tsarism involved.)

9. Martha Jones - Doctor Who

Martha deserved so much better than what the show and the fandom gave her. She's a great character, she's strong and compassionate and kind and honestly she did it right in leaving the Doctor (here's a video essay of a person better informed than me). I am so sorry, but I don't like Rose all that much, particularly in the season with Tennant and I'm on the Justice for Martha squad.

10. Korra - Avatar: the Legend of Korra

I know her show has flaws. But her as a character IS NOT.

Again, I needed to have figures to deconstruct the trope of "strong girl" and she's it. I love her arc and how she needs to deconstruct herself to proceed.

(I love also Tenzin, Tenzin is my favourite and my love, but his character arc is to me slightly less compelling)

(don't ask me to choose just ONE character from ATLA, I can't, I'll stay stuck for two hours trying to decide whom I like best and end up running away screaming because I can't.)

On a book level I must add: Margarita from Master and Margarita. That book is my obsession and the reason I ended up studying russian literature and language. -even if Bulgakov was actually Ukrainian but guess how many people told me so and I won't start here on the subject)

More Australian Gothic Movies

True History of the Kelly Gang (Justin Kurzel) – queer, punk, postmodern retelling of the famous outlaw’s story. This one is a lot, very emotionally heavy, pretty fuckin Freudian, but also cross dressing and bucket helmets!! 

The Hunter (Daniel Nettheim) – Tasmanian Gothic film starring Willem Dafoe as an American mercenary-hunter hired by a military corp to hunt down the last living Tasmanian tiger. Very broody and beautiful in its starkness. Found family + care for the environment are major themes. Liked this one more than I expected.

Jasper Jones (Rachel Perkins) – coming of age film set in the 60s, dealing with all sorts of Gothic themes: murder in a conservative suburb, the decay of the family unit, ingroups and outgroups. Based on the YA book, which is also pretty good! At first I was like uh oh is this another “white boy learns about racism” story but it’s more than that – Toni Collette is in it as well and does a fantastic job, as per usual.

Title: Jasper Jones

Author: Craig Silvey

Genre: YA Fiction

Published: March 31, 2009

My Thoughts: I think this one might have been lost on me

In 1965, a thirteen-year-old boy named Charlie Bucktin is startled by a knock on his sleep-out window from Jasper Jones, an outcast in Corrigan. He is a distant figure of danger and intrigue, and when Jasper asks for his help, Charlie steals into his sleep-out with him. He witnesses Jasper's terrible discovery and is pushed by the town's fear and suspicion. Charlie locks horns with his mother, falls in love, and battles to keep his best friend, Jeffrey Lu, hidden. In vain, he tries to restore the parts that have been shaken loose, learning to discern the truth from the myth and why white lies creep like a curse. In the simmering summer, Charlie learns why the truth is hard to know and even harder to hold in his heart.

I picked this up for my Read the World challenge (this is Australia). I always feel a little bad not liking something that is not only hugely adored but also has won awards. It’s always possible this book was too smart for my comprehension, but I didn’t get along with this as I had hoped.

While I appreciate a coming of age and beautiful prose, this didn’t give me either. It felt chaotic (which might be the intent since you’re in the mind of a teenager). The story meandered into an ending that never felt like a proper climax.

It felt like it was trying too hard to be like the other greats.

I always want to disclaim to anyone who does read my reviews that I am just one measly person. My loving or hating a book is so unique to me. Therefore you should never not pick up a book simply based on one review. This book clearly has its audience and does some beautiful and profound things for those readers in the same way that Bradbury has done for me.

I heard it's bungou stray dogs oc week, so here's mine.

Meet Jasper.

Lore under the cut!

He's about 16-17 years old and is currently trapped in Japan after someone in his school group got murdered while they were on a trip to Yokohama and in the following panic mixed with mourning, he got left behind. Jasper is hell-bent on taking down the Port Mafia. He figured out that the person who murdered his friend was a trigger-happy Mafia grunt and swore to do whatever he could to take down the entire organisation. So needless to say, he has to do that while dodging law enforcement as they try to bring him back home. His ability tends to come in handy for that, but I won't get into that.

He's based off the book Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey, I know the bsd character formula is that the characters are named after the authors but I'm sorry man this boy is not a Craig and he never will be. (Sorry Craig idk if you have a tumblr but if you do I'm sorry)
