I have a question for you guys.

after all these years... i have them all

I’ve developed a unhealthy addiction to making bookmarks for the Alice books, so with that being said, have the first two :)

literally my favourite mini comic

Michael and Nick have similar issues with feeling lonely but also they are completely different.

Nick feels lonely because he changed himself entirely, his identity, smile, interests, etc, for the people around him. He feels lonely because he is without himself.

Michael feels lonely because he IS lonely he was without friends for most of his life but he never changed himself. He kept his identity, smile, interests, etc. But he was lonely until he met Tori.

The two, logically, would be become dependent to their important people, Charlie and Tori, but for different reasons that include their loneliness.

Charlie helped Nick wake up. He helped Nick realize that he was lost without himself that he was entirely unhappy and needed help. Nick is dependent on Charlie because Charlie was the only thing that Nick could find in himself. Nick is lonely without his identity and since Charlie is helping build Nick's identity back Nick is dependent on him.

Michael would be, logically, dependent on Tori. Tori is his first friend we can assume in years. The first person to get him and actually try to understand him. She is the first person to not immediate judge and then ignore Michael entirely. Michael would be dependent on her for companionship. Michael spending most of his time with Tori, thinking about Tori in a way that can seem obsessive, makes sense because Tori broke down Michaels immunity to feeling nothing to being alone. He wasn't alone finally and he got used to not being alone. So if Tori left for even a week or two he'd begin to feel lonely again which will cause him to break.

Anyway YUUUUHHH.

Pulled the car off the road to look out

could of followed all my fears on the way down

@aliceoseman @chronicintrovert

thank you for being the light of my life, and the thing I will keep loving until the day I die.

(Tumblr made me butcher the quality so lmk if you want the 8k version)

Well, these fictional book characters help me more than my family.

Second one: Isaac ✨️✨️

i love how Alice puts at least one character from one of her books into another book without saying who they are but describing what they look like. it's such a small thing, but i appreciate and love it sm

nick nelson is one of the best characters ever created. my guy is out here breaking down these stereotypes held against him and he is doing that while living the best life with his boyfriend.
