Armchair Books, Edinburgh

This is the kind of bookstore that gives me anxiety because there are books EVERYWHERE and I feel like it's all gonna come down on me. However, there were quite a few gems in there so I'd recommend it for secondhand books and the aesthetic 👌

Scroll for Maddie in the wild bookstore

Jason: What are you doing in my room?

Steph: Nothing, nothing just felt like standing here.

Steph, after looking around: Alright! Time for me to hit the old dusty trail. See ya!

Jason: what was that?

Dick, who is comfortably reading one of Jason’s books in the reading corner: you used to do that to me all the time! It was kinda annoying but really adorable!

Jason: …Alright! Everyone out!

Duke: aww man!

Dick: but it’s so cozy in here!

Tim: you just had to blow it by calling him cute!

Cass: :(

Damian: You truly did blow it Grayson.

Need to start a book club for people who like Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Kafka, Rilke, Nietzsche. Also just to hang out on a discord server or something and be friends. I would like a close little group of friends, God knows it’s a lonely world, but I don’t think it has to be.

I’ve been reading The Idiot and I’m desperate to share my outpouring of feelings with someone. :^)

#classic literature #russian lit #dostoevsky #the idiot #crime and punishment #the brothers karamazov #rainer maria rilke #friedrich nietzsche #soren kierkegaard #existentialism #philosophy #book clubs #errrrr be my friend please #be my kindred spirit #no use being subtle about it #I think my kindred spirits must go on tumblr #I want the existentialists the melancholics the Christian mystics the free spirited artists #the armchair philosophers the fucked up pretentious intellectuals

A Day Of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon

I spent over a month with this book, and now it's finally time to let go. Last year I read and loved The Priory Of The Orange Tree, so I had great expectations for this prequel and I was not disappointed. My reading experience was definitely different compared to the other book, since I was very busy with exam season this time and I really took my time with this book. Spending all that time with this tome really made me fall in love with the characters and I got so attached to every single one of them. I do think the strenght of The Priory was the worldbuilding wherease this book shines thanks to its characters. I got to a point at the end were I was so attached to them that I got very emotional for every reason, and it's been really hard to let go of the book and the story. We once again follow different characters on different sides of this world, and while reading the book you find yourself switching your interest so quickly between the different plotlines. Once again the author's writing is absolutely amazing, and I am left craving for more. One day I would love to see a book on what happened when the Nameless One rose for the first time, I just cannot get enough of this world. As I said the ending was very emotional for me, the last 150/100 pages made the book impossible to put down, there's a couple of very emotional scenes that I could read over and over and I kinda want to reread The Priory again now, but I definitely need to dive into a shorter book now.

Got assigned a video to watch for my 3rd year anthropology class and there was a old man narrating which normally makes it hard for me to focus but he sounded familiar. I was like "wow he kinda sounds like Spock maybe I can pay attention if I just pretend spock is explaining something to me" and then the very next moment "I'm Leonard Nimoy join me!"

yeah, I'm not worried about my grade this week.

#leonard nimoy #spock #ancient mysteries #the video was on witch craft and how the image of a witch developed over time #the class is ritual myth and religion #it's very fitting because our textbook stresses how all practices should be respected and colonization is bad #and how we shouldn't judge other cultures through the lense of our own #because gender #very much in support of infinity diversity in infinite combinations #the book also talks about intersexuality a lot #I hope the future of anthropology is as mindful as this book is what I'm saying #no more stealing other culture's historical artifacts and no more armchair anthropologist

Again, a very short story. To those of you all who can relate, I really wanna say, "Hey! Let's be friends!"

Pairing: Reader!Jungkook x Introvert!Y/N

In the hushed corridors of the city library, where the scent of old books lingered like a comforting embrace, Y/N found her sanctuary. Every weekend, she nestled into her favorite nook, surrounded by towering shelves that held stories of love, adventure, and mystery. It was her escape from the world, a place where her introverted nature wasn’t a barrier but a bridge to countless lives lived through the pages.

For three months, her routine had included stealing glances at Jungkook, who occupied the same corner every Saturday. He was like a character from one of her beloved novels—mysterious, engrossed in his reading, and seemingly unaware of her existence. Y/N’s heart fluttered with a mixture of admiration and longing, yet she never dared to approach him.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was acutely aware of Y/N. He admired her quiet presence, the gentle way she turned each page, and the soft smile that graced her lips at a particularly pleasing passage. He wondered about the stories that captivated her, about the thoughts that danced behind her eyes. And so, after months of silent observation, he decided it was time to bridge the gap between their silent worlds.

One fateful Saturday, as the golden hues of the afternoon sun filtered through the stained-glass windows, casting kaleidoscopic patterns on the library floor, Jungkook took a deep breath and walked towards Y/N’s nook. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw him approach, her book forgotten in her lap.

“Hi,” Jungkook said, his voice gentle yet firm. “I’ve seen you here every weekend. I’m Jungkook.”

Y/N’s eyes widened, a blush creeping up her cheeks. “I… I know who you are,” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’m Y/N.”

They spoke of books and dreams, of quiet moments and loud thoughts. As the library’s clock ticked away the hours, they discovered shared passions and differing opinions, each revelation bringing them closer. The library, once a place of solitude, became a backdrop to a budding romance.

Weekends at the library transformed into coffee dates, movie nights, and long walks in the park. Their story, which began in the silence of the written word, flourished in the beauty of shared experiences and whispered confessions. And though they were two vastly different individuals, they found harmony in their contrasts, a melody that played to the rhythm of their hearts.

In the end, Y/N realized that love, much like the stories she cherished, could be found in the most unexpected places. It wasn’t about grand gestures or loud declarations; it was about the quiet understanding between two souls, a connection that spoke volumes in the silence of a library corner. And as for Jungkook, he found that sometimes, the best stories were not just read—they were lived.

As the seasons changed, so did the chapters of Y/N and Jungkook’s story. The library that once served as their meeting ground now witnessed their growth as a couple. They had their own shelf, a collection of books they had read together, each one holding memories of the discussions and laughter they shared.

Their love was a quiet one, but it was the small moments that spoke the loudest. Like the time Jungkook surprised Y/N with a book she’d been longing to read, or when Y/N baked cookies shaped like characters from Jungkook’s favorite novel. They found joy in the simplicity of their shared interests, and comfort in the silence that never needed filling.

One evening, as they walked through the library’s ancient doors, Jungkook led Y/N to their corner, now adorned with soft fairy lights he had set up. Between the pages of a book, he had hidden a note, a question written in delicate script. Y/N’s hands trembled as she read the words that would start a new chapter in their lives.

“Will you write our forever story with me?”

Tears welled up in Y/N’s eyes, a mix of surprise and happiness. She looked up at Jungkook, who was waiting with bated breath. In the quiet of the library, surrounded by stories of ages past, they began to pen their future.

“Yes,” she whispered, and the library, in its timeless wisdom, seemed to approve. The walls, lined with countless tales, now held theirs too—a tale of two hearts meeting amidst the prose and poetry, a tale as old as time and as new as the promise of tomorrow.

Their story continued, not just in the library, but in every place they went together. They explored new cities, tasted different cuisines, and danced under the stars. They created a mosaic of experiences, each piece a testament to their love.

Years later, they would return to the library with their children, pointing to the corner where it all began. “This is where I asked your mom to be my forever,” Jungkook would say, his eyes crinkling with the same warmth that had drawn Y/N to him all those years ago.

And as their children ran through the aisles, laughter echoing off the walls, Y/N and Jungkook would share a knowing look. Their love story, etched in the annals of their hearts, continued to grow, boundless and eternal, just like the stories that surrounded them in their sacred space—the library where two souls became one.
