#another book blog
Text
The long introduction to this blog.
Well, i "accidentally" started reading books this year. It just kinda happened. Watching YT all evening got more and more boring. I need something more productive! Have a look at my friend, reading book after book. How do they do it? Wait, wasn't there a fantasy/romance by a content creator i follow for years and got into writing recently?
So this year in march I purchased the german funtasy romance Mona. Even read the whole 400ish pages. Took me about 2 months but I was proud. Finally a finished book!
So i went through my pile of shame and found the german edition of Good Omens. I bought it when the "TV" adoption came out, but didn't get the hang of it. The second attempt took me just two or three weeks.
In about a week I reread the german satire Qualityland and the sequel Qualityland 2.0. After that I pushed myself through Babylon Berlin, (Der nasse Fisch) a crime novel set in 1920s Berlin.
Dipped my toe into Warrior Cats! Yep I started this massive clusterfuck. No i won't learn the English names of the cats. The german ones confused me enough.
After that I read my favourite book of the year, which was the first one in english since school: Loveless. I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. Big fucking mood. Thats me. Im Ace too! I relate to her! Yes girl, let's go!!!
Also the second part in the Mona trilogy. Cant wait for the final book! More fantasy? What about Talus Part 2 and Part 1. Yep, I read them out of order. We should do this more often.
Does anyone know about Fabian - The story of a moralist by Erich Kästner? I googled if theres an english version, which exists, but does anyone read this book if they're not in german high school? Its really scary how relevant it still is.
Now its December 2022 and I am reading book number 12. And somehow it is Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet. Good Lord. What happened???
Big part of next year will be reading Priory of the orange tree. Im scared. 800 pages are a very high number for me. And i bought the original english version. Could take me at least 3 hard and long month to finsh.
If you're still with me, why do i start another book blog? I already do this on the light blue hell site! But more for myself (and friends who dont mute my hashtag i chose for it). But here i can do better shitpost, have more than 240 letters for rants AND can force me to write more in english. Yes, as i indirect stated and you already guessed it from the poor english and unfamiliar book titles, im from germany. But this blog should still work, even if theres no english version for some german books.
So, let's have some fun!

I think that Dr. Christina "I was an excellent soldier" Raynor needs to deal with some personal things before she's anyone's therapist, because she strong-armed more of Bucky's autonomy away from him than Zemo did within the series.
#yeah man make amends for the shit that happened when you didn't even have control over your own thoughts#so she was giving him a way to “fix things” but that wasn't on him to do so#all she did was doubly reinforce what he already thinks - which is a justified but false and guilt-laden perception - about the situation#idk much about therapy but i don't think that they're sposed to do that. correct me if i'm wrong and then i'll go fight all therapists#bucky barnes#tfaws#alpine#my art#thank you for putting up with my drawings of a comic book character and his asshole cat lol#i had to put my dog down recently in a bad way and i can't rightfully get another house dog with my current work schedule#so i got a cat since they can handle being inside for the day and the shelter lady said she's super antisocial towards other cats#she's super antisocial towards me sometimes too but she sleeps on me at night and my house has never been cleaner#now that i have to vacuum cat fur and mind what i leave lying on the counter#i've never liked cats before but she's special i guess idk ain't everyone's cat special lol#anyway i'll stop using my tumblr blog as a blog now lol

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.
#leverageposting#leverage#lev#sophie devereaux#wren speaks#particularly that one of or both her parents had to move around a lot for work & so she would change herself to fit in at every new school#or new town etc etc. and that whatever original identity she had was dropped due to some kind of really awful event and her bio family think#she’s dead. eg she got into some kind of extreme legal trouble for the first time & she faked her death & everyone she knew as a kid thinks#she’s dead too. like. astrid wasn’t the first person she left to miss/mourn her.#but also that she was a teen runaway at like age ~16 and pretended to be an adult (like. 18/19) cause theres not much you can do by yourself#as a minor like booking flights or renting an apartment. and so began her first proper alias. and she was a pickpocket until she could fund#her life fully through grifting & cons.#or alternatively her parents died when she was a teen & she was old enough to become an emancipated minor (everyone in lev is an orphan)#and she kind of just fell into crime from there bc she had no one#or perhaps she got married at 17 and realised how fucked it all was and stashed money until she could run away & leave it all behind. that’s#bc of a single vague sentence on john rogers’ blog saying she was married at 17 and in context it was quite possibly a joke or random#hypothetical example but i was like what if???? What If???????#i also like the hc that she’s trans which i’ve seen a few times#in some versions in my mind her parents were okay and in some versions they were awful and in some versions it was so complicated.#i think tara has heard one story and parker or hardison have heard another and nate has never heard any story. he’s never asked.#she is here now and that’s all that needs knowing. and sophie devereaux is her real name in any way it matters.#eliot has also never asked and she asked if he was curious once and he just asked if she was curious about What He Did and that was answer#enough for the both of them. just a mutual agreement not to ask and it actually solidified their bond.#i think she struggled for a long time about whether to tell her new family The Real Story but in much the same way we never hear her birth#name bc it’s not Her anymore… she never gives The Real Story. bc it no longer defines who she is. she’s so much more than whatever happened.

I got this book for .50 cents and I am obligated to share the different characterizations and dialogues from it to the movie. Spoilers: A lot of King Candy pages<3
The introduction for King Candy is basically the same up until Ralph burst in. “Heavens to unleavened bread” honestly make me cackle, Turbo could not swear in this game 💀 Also Vanollepe throwing candy in Ralph’s eyes give me Mabel attack glitter energy.
Interrogation scene.
“Tough taffy” help-
Turbo flashback was just one page and of course speedran through for the sake of the book. Pretty much the same.
King Candy’s manipulation tactics are shown a bit more, full on gaslighting💀
More talkative with threats until he was eaten by a cybug. “Game jumper” oh he’s one to talk.
The King CandyBug ‘fight’ lasted like 3 lines so not much there, but his demise definitely is different. If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t this what was planned in the story board? I’m probably remembering wrong, but yeah RIP.
#got this one and another book ‘One Sweet Race’ but only this one includes then husband#into the master merch list it goes as well#there were other different moments like Felix straight up flirts with Calhoun in this book but imma share that on another blog#king candy#wreck it ralph#turbo#Disney#Junior novelization

Paleolithic Media Catalogue
Hello everyone :)
Short story first:
When I began brainstorming for my prehistoric story, I started wondering what other prehistoric fiction there is out there. I was not familiar with it and have not seen much. That's when I started my grand literature review and began a search for what fiction exist out there. I wanted to know what kinds of stories are being made with this time period. What are the common themes or recurring ideas (I found lots of humans and dinosaurs works. And time travel). Since I've had a growing collection on my computer, I decided I should keep on enlarging it and put it online. It's nowhere near complete. I'll slowly keep accumulating the collection as I find more. I only have fiction books and comics right now. I still need to work on the film section.
You can access the blog here!
***
As for where I am in my reading, the one's I've finished reading are Earth's Children series (book 1-4. Dropped it afterwards lol. I made a post on with fanart) Dance of the Tiger and it's sequel Singletusk (They were good! I'll upload my review on the blog), and Sisters of the Wolf (It was ok!). I got my hands on The Inheritors and excited to start reading it. I REALLY want to read the Shiva trilogy, but I found no PDF online... and it's out of print :( There is certainly old copies on ebay. And I want to read Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. There seem to be lots of good books out there.
#For whomever might find it useful... I'm doing this#I actually found another huge catalogue by an awesome person called Stephen Trussel#However their site has not been updated since 2016#I've linked their site on my blog when referencing the ENG translation for 'paris before man'#I'll make a paragraph dedicated to that site too#This has gone beyond my initial literature review lol#But for someone writing in this genre.. I've got to get to know it well#Because If I do end up publishing it I KNOW for sure it will be set up against other prehistoric fiction#mainly earth's children series#LITERALLY every book I checked had people in the reviews comparing it to Auel's series. Like it's the blueprint of prehistoric fiction#Like it's 'The Lord of the Rings' of its' genre.#and since it's a graphic novel maybe it will be compared to other comics?? Which I haven't found a lot YET#Emmanuel Roudier's work looks SO GOOD#I say looks because it's in French and I can't read French#I'm tempted to try translating it with what little French I learnt from public school and actually learn French in the process#Mezolith is great but it's not a full story. Just small snippets/short stories#Same with Tiger Lung. It's great. Also very very short. I recommend both.#I have not read the mangas yet. I read the first few chapters of Grashros and it's 100% Shounen stuff so far lol

A short introduction to this blog.
I "accidentally" started reading books this year. Started in march/april with my pile of shame, ended the year with Shakespeare. As one does.
Im from Germany, but will mainly post in english. (I somehow have to get more comfortable writing in english.) So i guess you'll just be recognising about half of the books i'll be reading?
Anyways, let's have fun!

Man, I still remember participating in one of the many jjba zines that I took part in and how my piece was placed as the first page (for the second time) and how one of my mutuals/artists that I’ve always admired, hit me with the “oh… you’re on the front page again… 😅…” like man, that kind of killed me lmfao. I never got over it like man, what was that about.
#it’s not like i put the books together myself or anything all my ass did was submit my work#like this was from a really popular and well known artist as well like#their art has always been so gorgeous to me too I was like ‘I’m literally a nobody is this person really being shady or…’#rambling#I guess it’s nice being in a zine with ppl I don’t know or care to get to know at least now 😭… just submitting my art and running#referring to the jjk zine 😭 I need t start working on it uhh#zines make me feel so anxious man#it really did make me feel bad and almost guilty? I was like this is kind of awkward…#another zine I was in which was run by a mutual… well… I never even got my zine in the mail#and I even sent them $20 for some merch that they were making since I wanted to support and never got that either…#they deleted their blog but I see that they remade and draw a lot of DM and have a lot of popular posts here so it’s kind of awkward seeing#their art shared on the dash sometimes skeks#we’re still mutuals on Twitter but I don’t rly want to ask about my zine again or the $20 bucks#it’s okay like I owe other ppl stuff too I’m a late bird man but still loskekk#they were the mod for the zine too#I might hit them up again I guess I still love their art and they were always fun to talk to#there was another zine that I participated in where we had to purchase our own copy bro#i remember being so annoyed by that but went ahead and bought it anyway#I was invited to this zine so it made me even more annoyed#I#Guess it didn’t make its money back#or something like that but I remember being broke at the time and was pissed that I had to pay for my own book#I didn’t buy any of the merch because why when it was supposed to be free#if you’re participating in a zine the book and merch should be free

im so mad that this is a side blog account and not a main account. i started this blog when i was still relatively new to tumblr and i think i was… like. fourteen years old or something. i never thought i would continue for this long, and i never knew so many people would like the content i put out here (i have over 9k followers which is literally mind-blowing, like wow….).
because this isnt a main account, i cant respond to replies left on my posts, i cant really reply to anyone unless i reblog !! i cant even follow people with this blog, it just comes up as my main blog (which is not pjo-related… rip my failed attempts at organising my fandoms to different blogs). so my avenues of interaction with a lot of you are seriously impeded.
so i just want to say i am so thankful for all of you, i read every single person’s tags who reblog my stuff, i read all of your replies and every time im crying screaming rolling around on the ground in agony over the fact i CANT REPLY!!
i know my posts are super inconsistent these days, im glad so many are still here! i think i may change some of my content eventually (never gonna get rid of the incorrect quote stuff, i’ll just be adding some other things like pjo headcanons or analyses or something), just to spice some stuff up on here.
#also! im currently writing a fantasy book rn and have been so stressed over the fact that authors are expected to have a following before—#—reaching out to agencies with a manuscript. and i seriously stress about creating a following.#so my backup plan is literally you guys. my four year old pjo account on tumblr with its silly little quotes 😭😭#and like. if that works. could you imagine. that you guys may actually save my future ??? like?? i love you guys for just following me bc ??#YOU MAY SAVE ME FROM THE CAPITALIST PRESSURES OF SENSATIONALISING ONES OWN ART FOR INVESTED SUCCESS YAYYYYYY#anyways im not going to promote it now bc its still in the first draft area. not near for me to even go thru revisions yet. i may never-#-promote it on here. i dont want to annoy people with suddenly changing tracks. and i def wont transform this blog into a self promo for me-#-thats never going to happen! i would make another blog for it but for now everything’s just an idea!#i just wanted to say thank you because this has been giving me so much anxiety especially since graduating high school. the problems of—#—trying to be an author have become more pressing and immediate for me. i hope it will happen one day but who knows#you guys give me confidence though. and i literally cannot thank u guys enough (I HATEEEEE THE CAREER ANXIETY)#not riordanverse#not incorrect either#for followers#rewriting#sorry for the whole essay in the tags ☠️

me: i only draw for small obscure fandoms so i'm not super worried about having my art reposted without knowing
me: AH,
#squints. of course its the stormlight archive fandom#it's big and has a high percentage of redditors#(sorry im still salty about a time a big cosmere blog reblogged a fanart for another much less known book series#and tagged it with a stormlight character. rude)#look this is not up there with 'finding out someone got a tattoo of my art without asking'#but it makes me sad that this guy had no idea who the artist was for six years bc it was reposted without credit#i think it's cool that ppl wanna show my art to other people!!! but credit. PLEASE#i also 100% drew this at a time when i thought stormlight didn't have a big online fandom (what books get fandoms or not is weird)#FOOLISHLY
