recently started reading the poisonwood bible heres some of my fav quotes
"it lasted just a moment, whatever that is. one held breath? An ants afternoon?"
"they can sit, stand, talk, shake a stick at a drunk man, reach around their backs to fetch forth a baby to nurse, all without dropping their piled-high bundles upon bundles. they are like ballet dancers entirely unaware they are on a stage."
..."one-half set of perfect twins"...
"she grew strong as i grew weak. (yes! jesus loves me!)
this whole exchange:
"if god had amused himself inventing the lilies of the field, he surely knocked his own socks off with the african parasites"
"my daughters would say: you see, mother, you had no life of your own. they have no idea. one has only a life of one's own."
"maybe ill even confess the truth, that i rode in with the horsemen and beheld the apocalypse, but still ill insist i was only a captive witness. what is a conquerors's wife, if not a conquest herself."
"silence has many advantages. when you do not speak, other people presume you to be deaf or feeble-minded and promptly make a show of their own limitations."
this whole part also
"i can understand a wrathful god who'd just as soon dangle us all from a hook. And i can understand a tender, unpredjudice jesus. But i could never quite feature the two of them living in the same house."

There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation
because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

sally jackson is literally the only person ever. she's so amazing. she's perfect. she's so kind it makes people cry. she listens to nirvana. she's beautiful. she fought a bull. she can cook. she's everyone's mother. she's a writer. she sings sad songs and applies them to her life and cries. she killed her abusive ex husband and sold him to get money for an apartment. she used to work at a candy store and bring percy samples of his favourite flavours. she shot a monster with a police gun in the middle of a war. she started making food blue because she's petty and she knew it would piss gabe off. she's an icon. she's the moment. no. 1 milf. no one's doing it like her.

You ever see the video of the racoon with a piece of cotton candy and it tries to wash it off in some water only for it to dissolve, and its little racoon hands are patting the water trying to find the cotton candy? I need a tiny racoon-like Machete losing his cotton candy in the water while Vasco sits by him and comforts him. I need tiny teary-eyed racoon Machete. Please.

Solomon who gives off raw humanity after you actually get to know him. He's just a lovesick, scarily powerful, fool. He'll sit there for hours and ramble about magic and TSL and pacts and his work to you if you let him. Ask him about his star obsession, urge him to tell you stories about his travels and findings and adventures. But please, please remember that he's more than just some immortal sorcerer capable of great things, hold him from time to time, sit and just exist with him, please.
Let Solomon be human with you. He's so used to carrying the weight of humanity on his shoulders, sometimes he forgets he's only human, too. He might be fun and he might be strong and he might be wise, but it's been too long since he's had someone hold his hand and glide their thumb over his knuckles.
Please let him ramble about the rain or the way trees creak or the way stars twinkle like they're laughing. Please let him take you to different places and get excited with you over things he's purposefully never sought the answer to in order to keep a part of himself curious. Please sit with him in the silence of each other and just let him let his guard down.
Solomon who wants to be human with you. Solomon who is human with you.
