Here was all the gaiety and glory and sparkle I knew was going to be life if I could just grasp it. For some people history is a graveyard. For me it was an enormous Christmas present wrapped in tissue paper and tied with satin ribbons, and inside would be something to adorn, to amuse, and to dazzle me forever. It was my present for being alive.

Elaine Dundy, The Dud Avocado (1958)

#the dud avocado #elaine dundy #literature #i have a bookshelf in my bedroom that is devoted solely to my top-tier favorites and i try to find pretty or interesting editions for it #i try to steer away from the basic paperbacks because these are mine! they're MY books!#so anyway i have three copies of the dud avocado and none of them were Right for the Shelf so i treated myself to a first edition #and now the shelf is perfect!#for sally jay 💗

what’s the evrart display? i haven’t seen any official evrart merch :(

so displates are those like metal posters you see youtubers do sponsorships for all the time. the product photo for evrart's displate sends me into hysterics every time I see it

WAIT I didn't realize there were more that was the one I always saw. I'm screaming

just like the bland minimalist stock photo sets & then just bam. evrart portrait. it's so deranged I'm in tears

#fuck now im more tempted to get the stupid thing its so fucking funny. i even have a perfect blank space for it above my dvd & game shelf #anon #ask #de #also anon you can always do what i did & get bootleg evrart merch like i did w my custom ipod case

anyway I really do like the idea that his darling spawn shri’iia who’s whole job is to adore him forever and an eternity becomes his very undoing bc he fails to account what that would mean to her. like baby girl you just validated each and every one of her flaws and ugly side just like she validated yours. now you’re stuck with that 🫶🥰🤭

#like the reverse uno card of her telling him to stay as he is forever bc he’s perfect that way… and his slow realisation that he can’t ever #change bc she won’t let him .. and the anger that will surface bc it’s another person controlling him but it’s disguised under LOVE ?????#but then he treats her like a pretty bauble that sits uselessly at the shelf. just there to love and adore him and look beautiful and love #him forever and forever … the realisation that she reverse uno card him and she sees HIM that way too #like yes he has power over her quite literally she’s his spawn but she doesn’t see him as someone to be feared #nope. in her eyes he’s there to be loved and adored and to be praised so why would he change perfection? she doesn’t understand that ..!#now they’re stuck with each other for eternity 🥰😭🤭 and she wouldn’t have it any other way lmfao #like if he was smarter about it maybe he could’ve utilised her the way the matriarch did but he’s not a details guy ok he’s not a planning #person.. and I think if he ascended he’ll just grow worse lol #shut up about bg3.

So I rearranged my bookshelf a bit for fitting trigun on my shelf...

Top shelf is still my persona shelf. It's way too established to change that. But I moved my assorted other fav manga volumes to the bottom shelf, leaving room for This...

It didn't Quite fit all the way, but it's close enough. This shelf is composed of my three top favorite mangas of all time, which are Also the only 3 series that I own in totality. Specifically bc theyre my favorites & I care enough about them to want to own them all lol

It's... really really nice to see them all in one place like this.

And of course. The trigun ❤️ completely worth the money I spent on them.

#speculation nation #this is nowhere Near the full number of manga and books i own btw #i have. boxes and boxes just sitting in the closet.#but this is my only functional bookshelf. im a little limited.#so i only have the Favs here. at least for manga.#sometime i should go thru all my manga. ive forgotten how much i actually own.#maybe someday i can get some more bookshelves... ive been thinking about it.#for now. this will do.#it makes me so ridiculously happy to see trigun on the shelf. even with it being a bootleg print.#it's honestly pretty great quality for a bootleg. only printing problems i saw were a few of the internal covers were a bit out of order #everything in the volumes themselves were printed Wonderfully #of course dark horse translation so not perfect quality there. but ngl it's almost nostalgic to read that version for me.#that was my first trimax experience. & as much as i value what overhaul has been doing for us #a part of me will always be fond of dark horse's translation too.#and thus why i keep hold of my 'he is reason enough for me to fight' header. i enjoy it Very much.#man. i cant believe i got home 8 hours ago. and ive spent this whole time fucking around with my new manga #but ykno what it's good that it's bringing me so much joy #for how much i spent on it i damn Well better get some enjoyment out of it lmaoooo #but ive read thru them and i will almost Definitely be flipping thru them again in time #i enjoy physically holding manga. it lets me peruse so much more easily than trying to scroll and click thru pages #worth Every Penny........

another day another unsuccessful search for my beloved old couch

#i refuse to believe it was the only couch of its kind. but i cant even find like. the same model in another color or something #much less the exact lovely green mine was #i will find it. one day #im obsessed w this because 1) it was the Perfect couch and 2) bc my mother bought it #it was the perfect couch bc it was big perfect amount of space and comfy and had a mattress that folded out #yes bc it was big it was a pain to move which is why we couldn't take it into our new apartment when we moved like 10 years ago #it wouldnt fit through our buildings shitty hallway system #im determined. but for now my search gets put back on the metaphorical shelf

-___- i need to find a bookshelf thats been thrown out again .. theres no good trash here .. there's GREAT trash next door and i thiiiiiink enough time has passed that i feel comfortable walking over there sometimes and scouring their dumpsters every once in awhile

#especially at the end of the month .. when everyone's moving and dumping the things they're deciding not to take #or just moving in and dumping the things they decided dont fit their new place #i stiiiill regret not being able to take that perfect lil corner shelf that came with a tube tv just plopped right onto it... ugh ..#i wish i even took just the tv even .... ahhhuh...#it was RIGHT when i was moving outta there and i was awake for like 2.5 days and i was so exhausted i was like. im just going to go home #(new home) (so happy) (sitting in it now) (getting to live here ... 3)#and i passed out .. and when i got my gumption & came back to see if the shelf was there it was gone .... ;__; missed it #but there was ALWAYS really nice trashes there .. gotta see sometime ..#worried i'll be hit with like a dumping fine even though im TAKING .. but .. yknow actiually...#my old roommate never officially lived there but they still were able to dump a lot of trash off there and never got hit with anything #im... actually almost certainly fine if thats the case ...!
