One of my favourite parts of "Persuasion" is when Frederick says to Anne "You did not use to like cards; but time makes many changes." and then she responds "I am not yet so much changed." and then he says "It is a period, indeed! Eight years and a half is a period!" because this is such an important part of the book. It's when they both truly realise that neither of them is the same as they were 8 years ago. They're not 19 and 23 anymore, but 27 and 31. They both have scars and are more mature with a better understanding of the world and, more importantly, each other. And all part of each of them wants to do is go back to the beginning and rewrite the story from the start so they aren't separated and have to go through over eight years of emotional agony, but they can't, so they have to write a new ending. And they do.

Bruhhh I was just talking to my younger sister because I wanted to tell her about solitaire

And I was just like:

So I'm reading this book

Her: a shitty depressed book?

Me: well uhh- yeah? Hahaha

But you dont understand! You dont understand this book is so amazing. It understands me. It changed how I think about my life

Her: and it made you even worse?

Me: what- I- yes. yes it did

I truly love that Miles and Garak literally cannot get along. they cannot resist jabbing each other, and Garak is much better at it, so every conversation they have is Miles trying to one-up him and Garak immediately firing back and making him so mad that Julian has to intervene before Miles fucking kills him

Το Πράσινο Μίλι- Stephen King

Byler parallel jumpscare while I was reading Rebel Robin. Not Robin creating a piece of art involving a heart because it makes her think of Tammy Thompson and how much she loves her

Bonus: Tammy called it amazing

Even better is that another character (who also has a crush on Tammy) claims he was the one who came up with it. Mind you, this book came out almost a year before s4

Here's some of the lyrics for "Total Eclipse of The Heart"

I couldn't help but feel like the lyrics were reminding me of something... Then it clicked. While working on s4, the ST writers posted this on Twitter (the post they're quoting has since been deleted, but it was something along the lines of using lyrics to give a hint about s4)

"I'm always in the twilight, in the shadow of your heart" -> "Your love is like a shadow on me all the time"

"I tried to find the sound, but then it stopped. And I was in the darkness, so darkness I became" -> "Once upon a time, there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark"

A piece inspired by the amazing tale from “The startless sea” by Erin Morgenstern

If someone said to Gina Draw me a picture of Abundance, she would’ve drawn three words on neon sign.

Blue Claw Diner

You couldn’t throw a bagel without hitting a diner on Long Island, but here in Blue Claw, in the crotch of Paumanok, was the most miraculous specimen of them all. Twelve different cakes and pies floated in dreamy circles in their rotating display case. Silver streamlined, railway-car slim, the building was wedged on the corner of Midway Street, and those narrow quarters stocked enough ingredients to maintain a twenty-four-page menu.

rereading aristotle and dante guess whos going fucking insane :D

I can not stress enough that the scene where Percy sends Medusas head to the gods is literally what made me fall in love with Percy as a character bc think about it hes just started his first quest, he's in more danger then he's ever been in his whole life, knowing almost every monster and God is currently out to get him personally, and the most important person in his life has been kidnapped by the god of the dead - so what does he do? He chooses to actively makes the situation worse by sending a middle finger right to the gods bc yeah fuck the gods

i cant get over the ball being so CLEARLY all for crowley i can't get over aziraphale trying to woo him with a WHOLE FUCKING BALL because that's what he knows that's what romance IS for him because he's been wanting to dance with crowley ever since dancing was invented and he's so stuck in time with the way he dresses and talks and he still thinks a dance is the high of romance AND HE MADE A WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING BALL FOR CROWLEY JUST SO HE COULD DANCE WITH HIM like now it's so fucking obvious he gave away his BOOKS without a second thought and it was all for crowley he organised a whole JANE AUSTEN THEME BALL just so he could have an excuse to finally dance with the love of his life and i can't get over this i'm shaking my fists and pacing up and down he did not give a single fuck about anything other than dancing with crowley and HE BARELY TOUCHED OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDS WHILE HIS WHOLE FUCKING PALM WAS PRESSED TO CROWLEY'S AND i need to lie down
