#sometimes a great notion

[quotespile]

The same old rain, and, if not welcomed, at least accepted — an old gray aunt who came to visit every winter and stayed till spring. You learn to live with her. You learn to reconcile yourself to the little inconveniences and not get annoyed. You remember she is seldom angry or vicious and nothing to get in a stew about, and if she is a bore and stays overlong you can train yourself not to notice her, or at least not to stew about her.

Starving for contact and calling it poison when it is offered.

53 pages and 3 re-reading attempts later… and the plot finally starts coming together. I am nothing if not patient.

WATCHLIST 2023: Sometimes A Great Notion

[sandpebblesband]

Strange Brew Interview: Ben Michael X

"Some notions are best left unrealised and others are life changers."

"Barok van Zieks is absolutely covered in scars from all his years being attacked" is like, pretty solidly in fanon at this point but I hope the other results of this constantly happening is that he fights dirty. No amount of being a respectable, well-trained gentleman who fights with honor is going to matter after a certain point.

I hope he bites people. I hope he spits blood onto the ground. I hope he has broken bones and left men bleeding in the street while he himself has to limp back to safety half alive. He may have never taken a life, but I hope he's come close.

I get you about the hetero vibes of JD. Like there are CPs who act like they have been married for years and I am inclined to believe that and there are CPs who are just happy their job is to flirt with their homies and they lean into it. The latter is JD to me. Like no matter how much they would flirt, I won't believe they are actually together. I can belive they are best friends, even soulmates but not a couple

yep, exactly! i mean, JD also act like they've been married for years in a way, but as i mentioned in my other reply, it just feels like more of an inside joke and feels much more platonic than romantic

and they most definitely have fun flirting with each other. i think it's as entertaining for them as it is for us. especially for joong. i think it's a well known fact that no matter how insane you think you are about JD, you can be sure that joong is more insane about JD than you are. and i fully support him in that <3

Pre-established relationship vibe check. If you like this, you're giving me permission of dropping in your IMs for some discussions to pre-plot a few things between our muses ♥︎

You might hide in some Freudian jungle most of your miserable life, baying at the moon and shouting curses at God, but at the end, right down there at the damned end when it counts... you would sure as anything clear up just enough to realize the moon you have spent so many years baying at is nothing but the light globe up there on the ceiling, and God is just something placed in your bureau drawer by the Gideon Society. Yes, I sighed again, in the long run insanity would be the same old coldhearted drag of too solid flesh, too many slings and arrows, and too much outrageous fortune.

Reblog and tell me your all time favorite book

[imtryingtothink]

and after the introduction of no less than 8 characters, whom were all introduced and written in the third person, I am finally introduced to a character in the first-person. Have I finally met my narrator? I hope. A New England college boy that chooses his prescriptions based on what path he’d like to take that is either a nihilist, or someone suffering serious emotions. I like him for the start. I’d love to hear this story from his perspective. This book is nothing what I expected and a great recommendation from an unsuspecting source.
