Percy: my dad's such a dick such a deadbeat I hate him
Poseidon: can you tell my kid I love him and I'm very sorry and also save his life
Poseidon: but don't tell him he can breathe underwater except very cryptically
Poseidon: yell at him to breathe a few times
Poseidon: that ought to work
Books that have a soul
I am really happy to see people gathering in Tik Tok and other medias to talk about books and share experiences and incentives reading, no matter the book category, be it YA, Sci-fi, Romance, etc...
But I am pretty bugged by see people saying "ew! You write on the margins!" or "OMG you dog-eared your book" or even "the cover is so pretty! But why did you broke the spine?"
We all have to understand that each one have a way of read and maintain their books, some are really expensive, I know, and we prefer keep them looking as good as new.
But sometimes... a dog-eared book can mean "oh my I had a thing to do so I stopped reading but did not wanted to lose time finding a page-marker, because faster I finished the chore I would run back to the reading and search a page-marker would take more of my time" and notes mean "I want to remember that page! Oh no! The characters didn't! *nonconformist writes complaining*" and a broke spine mean "I carried it wherever I went because I kept reading it over and over again and couldn't get out of this book".
The thing is, some people like to take pictures after cry a lot about book (not criticizing, I do it sometimes :p) or do journal about it, but those who have books with wrinkled sheets, yellow or stained pages and covers falling apart, those are the ones that suffers alone, enters completely in the book and leaves their soul in there, a little part of them stays in the story, the same way they'll always carry the story with 'em.
So let's normalize it, let's think about it as passion, not a crime or a horrendous thing.
"do you think i can slap myself with my foot?"
(in the middle of class) *the sharpest inhale ever* "BANANA BOND!!!"
"i think my brain is on a creative high rn"
"for years, i thought my cat was male. turns out she was female. i found out when she gave birth to kittens."
"WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN"
"gandalf's "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" but its the cfal teachers saying it."
"how many pedos are on the pedophilia audio?" "pedo pedo pedo pedo pedophilia" "..." "did you not count?" "nO?"
"this pen. its very blue."
"this is why YKB's retiring."
"implicit orgasms are superior to explicit orgasms."
im a one of us is lying a good girls guide to murder the inheritance games girlie by heart
the lines “this has always been a family story” and “this is the kind of family they are” are SICKENING in the context of a series that starts with “the campers here, they're mostly good people. after all, we're extended family, right? we take care of each other” and ends with “family, luke. you promised”
So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.
I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.
ah yes, the girl with the knife and the morally gray boy who hates everyone but the girl with the knife, trope
love seeing the beginnings of perseus "pay your fucking child support" jackson's crusade against the gods' parental negligence problem in ep 1 & 2 of the pjo show. the absolute KING of "my daddy gave me issues so HE'S about to HAVE issues"

"it doesn't matter. I have books, new books, and I can bear anything as long as there are books."
