26 for the ask game

(ask game)

26. Favorite novella(s).

The Emperor's Soul is I think my favorite of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere novellas, largely because I enjoy reading about con artists and thieves. Ones with magic power to rewrite the history of objects? Even better.

Thornhedge is a fun take on Sleeping Beauty that answers the question of why a fairy might have had NEED to put a girl to sleep. And how extremely stressful it would be to then spend hundreds of years dealing with all these knights trying to rescue this princess because apparently there's a story about it (reminds me a bit of how stories have a life of their own in Terry Pratchett's Discworld).

Mysteries of Thorn Manor is an epilogue novella to Sorcery of Thorns that I really enjoyed. A really nice self-contained look into the happily ever after of the characters I love (I mean what's not to love about the warrior librarian of living magical grimoires, a magician who has earned his magic by making a deal with a demon, AND the demon in question (Silas is the best, we love Silas)). Do need to read the preceding book to enjoy the novella though.

Artificial Condition, the second Murderbot novella. I mean I love all the novellas (and one novel) in this series but this one was my favorite. Because ART. I mean a sarcastic, extremely competent SecUnit meeting an equally sarcastic and kinda terrifying Asshole Research Transport? What more can one ask for?

The Secret Life of Bots. Its on the shorter end of the novella spectrum but I adore the little Bot that could. This Bot just gives me the WALL-E feelings, okay?

The Lies of the Ajungo. Okay, so I'm actually currently reading this one but I can already tell it's going to be very good. A story about a boy who goes on a quest to bring water to his city (they're under the thumb of a neighbor city that provides them water... as long as they agree to cut out the tongues of anyone older than thirteen.

It was a twofold price, a price of blood and a price of history: an untongued people cannot tell their story.

Papyrus, chamomile, aloe vera

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?

So this song. Im just reminded of tthe whatsonot concert i want to, i was VIBIN, having a great time.. doesnt' mean much to me lyrically? it's about a relationship though. chamomile ⇢ what kind of things do you like receiving as gifts?

I like receiving things that i can put around the house.. something that i can look at and remind me of who gave it to me. Something i can stick in a bookshelf or a nightstand is always cool. I also like receiving weeb stuff.

aloe vera ⇢ what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life? Mmmm sooo. i really like cloudy rainy vibes. I wanna experience it raining while i am inside with a fireplace and a big window with scenery. mood music. and something hot to drink. I've never had a fireplace and here where i live there are really only plains. but i wanna see things like mountains and forests.

Sorry this was so late i passed out.

Happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely one!

Idk what I was expecting to see on my dash this fine Friday evening but it was not..whatever it is that's going on here... I hope this isn't taking a lot of your time and energy and that it's not taking a toll on you. Please take care of yourself.

(The vns are absolutely nuts btw I made my husband hear it and we both can't stop laughing but we're also a bit alarmed and concerned for you...)

If it’s any consolation, I don’t think anyone expected that lmao. It took more time and energy than I would’ve liked it to but pretty much everything does so it’s okay. That’s kind of you but no need to worry, I’ll be alright. Thank you for reaching out

And yeah, I don’t think his little voice memos are getting the reactions he was hoping for

12 & 4

12.A song you feel should be higher up

THIS 100% SHE WAS ROBBED. I'm getting too passionate but this was no.63 and I spammed so hard I thought it was gonna be my no.1

4. Artist/band you didn't thought would be in your top artists (if any)

[the song i like the most from him] Funny that the other song is Burial and this artist is Burial. I don't listen to him consciously but apparently he was my top artist. Whenever I'm with other people I put mixes that have a lot of his songs on so that's probably why idk I really didn't expect the result

Thank you for the ask 🫶

Top 5 quotes

Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony—Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy (all quiet on the western front)

There are a million ways to bleed. But you are by far my favorite. (Iain Thomas)

All the hardest, coldest people you meet were once as soft as water. And that's the tragedy of living. (Iain Thomas)

People look so different when you don't care about them anymore.

May those who love us, love us; And for those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, So we will know them by their limping.

This one was extremely difficult. I'm sure I'm missing many amazing quotes that I'll think of later. But, 1 & 5 have stuck with me for many years, especially 1 which I learned in high school. 2 & 3 are my favorite poet and the simple beauty in his words is unmatched. As for 4, I once saw a photo of an ex and didn't even recognize her. That quote has stuck with me ever since.

Ask me my top 5 anything

[vixvaporub]

／(˃ᆺ˂)＼ – doesn’t know how to deal with people but wants to

| ʘ‿ʘ)╯ – is pretty quiet and reserved but actually enjoys people

(눈_눈) – smart and not pleased about anyones stupid bullshit

All very true lol, for the second one I do enjoy people but I can only handle so much cause I'm super introverted

How do I come across?
