I wanted to share my favourite quote from The Tombs of Atuan.
"A head poked through the doorway, a strange head, hairless as a peeled potato, and of the same yellowish colour. The eyes were like potato eyes, brown and tiny."
This made me laugh when I was reading it, so I thought I'd share it.

lines from my book draft cause im desperately gripping onto the last strand of motivation
“The desolated empire fell to its knees, her laughter ringing across the barrens of the slaughtered. Crackles of fire and ashes covered the skies, the mortified gazed upon the cliffs as she held up her hand for the signal; it was then that they knew true betrayal.”
“Kiss me one last time..?”
“Just like when we were in love.”
"I won't let my sister bury one of her own so soon."
"Why does the world get to keep moving when mine's died along with you?”
"I feared to be submerged by your love, growing addicted to the suffocation.”
"You will fall like icarus if you continue to love me.”
"Your love became my dream, just as mine became your end."
"We are strangers with history, nothing else.”
"I once burned for you yet all that is left is a cold candle."

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

I feel like Lucy Gray’s fashion sense had an influence on the Capitol. It’s mentioned in the book that she’s wearing makeup, which is notable to Coriolanus and he wonders where she got it from since it was barely becoming accessible again in the Capitol. In the movie one of his classmates mocks what she is wearing, asking if she thinks she’s a clown. It isn’t common to dress like her, but she owns her own style and the Capitol LOVES her. Coriolanus, as he tries to get sponsors for her, makes the case that since she is Covey perhaps she isn’t really district at all, in fact she’s really more Capitol than anything… and perhaps it rubbed off. Perhaps her sense of extra-ness, her fun makeup even at the reaping, her colorful dress at a dark occasion….perhaps that’s one part of her legacy that never truly goes away, even when the name of Lucy Gray Baird is erased from the memories of the people of Panem.

“Truth, truth.”
Like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, but it'll never be enough. You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying, it'll just cover your face, as you wail and cry and scream.
