Spent today rereading Sleight of Hand. I love the way that Eddie panics and runs but its just that he needs space to process his feelings... he just hasn't matured enough to ask for that. Steve on the other hand just being sure and steady and moving through scary new things like its nothing

If Henry Creel had known Eddie Munson's potential, he would have dropped everything to get to him. All his plans. All his schemes. Who needs them when you've got a boy who can reshape time? Who can fracture it like lighting?
Fortunately, Henry hadn't known.
Unfortunately, Eddie hadn't either.

So we saw another Munson grave at the cemetery and I was leafing through my "World of Stickers" book, and I was curious if the text was readable so I used my camera to zoom in (check alt text to read)
Very puzzling

If I hear "[x] people have no media literacy" instead of "I have a different opinion" one more time, I'm going to scream!

Tell me why my husband, who had been snoring and absolutely passed out for the last two hours, just rolled over, shook me to get my attention (take my noise canceling headphones off), and asked me if there was a way to change the temperature in here? Then pouted when I laughed at him because no.

I need you all to know, as someone who is not planning to watch season 5 any time soon ... if at all. I am very much enjoying the out of context reactions. Can't wait for all of the rewrites coming my way soon.

I made a silly little comment on a tiktok video like a month ago...
That comment has more likes than anything I have ever made or put actual effort into. It is still getting likes every day.
I wish to be freed from these notifications. I couldn't even tell you why that comment in particular.

Me reading an ARC that doesn't come out until next spring, that is the end to a series and having the floor dropped out from under me. I am never free of the "your favorite character is going to die" curse. Apparently even in a romance series and their HEA was 8 books ago. (lies and slander)

Sometimes having the pattern recognition gene sucks ... because you get 30% of the way into a book and already know the Shape of Things™️.
It's why I get so delighted when an author surprises me*.
*As long as it makes sense for the narrative. If you surprise me with bullshit, I don't want it.

I love horror so much... but I've now read so many in a row that I need a detox until next year. That does mean that the second part of my "best books of last year" project is finally up!

People clown on those of us who are lactose intolerant for constantly eating dairy. All of my favorite foods put me in intestinal distress. Yes, I have dairy substitutes, but most of them either don't have enough fat to be creamy or fuck up the flavor. Do you want coconut flavored chowder? IDTS.

It feels pointless to hope... I feel like we will be outbid immediately, but maybe not. Not if the vibes are right.
Anybody that wants to put out good vibes... My partner and I are putting an offer on a house today. I need like everyone to cross their fingers and toes for us because the market here is absolutely ass and finding a house in this condition at this price point in our area is actually insane.

Do you think there are Marcus the Worm from VR Chat fics?
Asks a person with an ao3 account and the knowledge/ability to look this up.
I just want to wonder for a little while. Let my mind try and conjure up what those would even be.

When your uterus decides to trash the place. This is a terribly inefficient system. I'd like to speak to the manager.

SHHHH! I def. didn't accidentally schedule this for tomorrow and have to panic post it just now...
Anyway, if you can get a copy of this just to read La Huesera (the last story), it's worth it. However, we had some issues with the rest of it.

When I see someone online talking about a book that sounds amazing, but it hasn't been published in the US yet, and the "government" has made it so that I can't order it! I just wanna read the weird book where a woman eats her dead partner and is also a blazing indictment of capitalism!

I have 3 hours of an audiobook left (on 3x speed while physically reading it at the same time because adhd is a bitch and accessibility tools are rad actually) that is due back at the library in 9 hours. Guess its time for a hot tea, a cozy blanket, and locking in.
