“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

let's go to the old bookstore, sit in a corner on the soft carpet and talk about our favorite books, forgetting that time exists.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) dir. Gil Junger

seasonal aesthetics

winter: soft sweaters, twinkling lights, waking up to a fresh blanket of snow outside your window, vinyl records with all your favorite songs, sipping hot cocoa by the fire, plaid scarves, red bows on every lamp post

spring: a cottage garden in full bloom, bare feet, homemade jam, a bouquet of wildflowers in a jar, wicker baskets full of farmer’s market veggies, white linen curtains, faded floral sundresses, a baby blue bicycle

summer: fresh squeezed lemonade, singing your heart out with the windows rolled down, drive-in movies, jumping in the lake on a hot day, faded denim cutoffs, friendship bracelets, french fries in a brown paper bag

autumn: sweet potato pancakes from your favorite diner, black cats, thrifted flannel shirts, apple cider, the smell of freshly fallen leaves, canoeing on a crisp morning, antique stores, your favorite coffee mug

I’m legitimately sad about Miura’s passing. I’m sad that he died- while not exactly a young man, he was not yet old either. I’m sad that he died before getting to finish his life’s work. I’m sad that he didn’t get to finish telling his story; not simply because we wanted to read it, but because he put so much of himself into it. Doubly so because Berserk was a story with so much to say; often misunderstood for its early era; over its lifespan Berserk was an emotionally nuanced and heartfelt story of stubborn light and irrepressible goodness in a world of overwhelming darkness; recovery and love and finding oneself despite it all.

His work was an inspiration to so many others; you can hardly point a finger at a popular fantasy setting in many, many years that hasn’t taken at least some inspiration, big or small, from the vivid and incredibly detailed world that he painted with his words and his art.

Certainly, even if his own work remains unfinished, his legacy will still be remembered for countless years and decades as a triumph of its genre, and a true effort of passion by a man wholly dedicated to both his work and his play, and sharing that passion with others through it.

A legend among manga, and all kinds of fantasy truly.

Give him back his swords NOW !!
