Slowly, painfully, I realized what I had been reading from the very first words of his journal. My husband had had an inner life that went beyond his gregarious exterior, and if I had known enough to let him inside my guard, I might have understood this fact. Except I hadn't, of course. I had let tidal pools and fungi that could devour plastic inside my guard, but not him. Of all the aspects of the journal, this ate at me the most. He had created his share of our problems -- by pushing me too hard, by wanting too much, by trying to see something in me that didn't exist. But I could have met him partway and retained my sovereignty. And now it was too late.

Chapter one done, and how the hell did people not think to keep a better eye on Zant . They really said "Oh yeah we literally originated from attempted usurpers BUT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN EVER AGAIN."

its almost that time again. you know. it's almost time to wake up The Greendays

hi anon and everyone reading this PLEASE do not do that. billie joe armstrong wrote "wake me up when september ends" about his dead father and has expressed time and time again that he hates that joke. he gets bothered about it every year and it digs up some bad memories for him so this is just a friendly reminder to please please leave him alone

Le tiene miedo a las expresiones del amor, pero las busca constantemente, no se quiere dejar llevar, pero se quiere dejar llevar, no se fía del amor, pero es lo que más le importa.

On SNW and Chapel/Spock....

Baby, I haven't seen such negatory chemistry since Crane and his wife on the accursed Sleepy Hollow. Like WOW. And the worst thing about it is that they both have more chemistry with literally EVERYONE ELSE except each other...I cannot.

I'd rather anyone else be with either one than those two. I am the gritted teeth emoji every time they have screentime together.

Also, WTF at NO queer ships at all??? Ortegas/Chapel or Uhura/Chapel would make more sense. I actually like Spock/T'Pring for now.

only just seen the ouyang poll and whilst he had no chance anyway id like you to know im with you I love that duology

Ooh, it's so cool to know you like it too!! I read it last year and it blew my mind, definitely one of my fav 2023 reads!

I don't think Ouyang ever had a chance against Nina, though :( (but I love her too, so I'm not too mad about it)

have you seen the new episode of the remarried empress. I read on the website so the latest episode is the one where rashta throws the baby.

what are your thoughts on the adorable little baby. what do you think happens next.

Glorym is so adorable!! She looks just like her brother. It's sad to see that Rashta genuinely wants to spend time with her but her past sets her back. And now that Rashta finally gave birth, the reality is starting to set on her (the nobles villainizing and ignoring her, etc.). This is just the tip of the ice berg. I've read up to ch 168 and it's bound to get worse :')

Me habían dado muchos golpes a lo largo de la vida, pero pocos me habían calado tan hondo como ese. Nunca pensé que un golpe emocional pudiera doler más que uno físico.

dude i stopped keeping up with kotlc a long time ago but for some reason it periodically returns to consume my thoughts. oh my god send help. So the elves count age from conception, but also at some point age stops being relevant to them. But also they have school grades that are largely divided by age. But also also they're extremely long lived and have literally forever to learn, and yet their only formal education is fast tracked to basically the same schedule as that of the much much much shorter-lived humans. Also despite living literally forever, pretty much everybody seems to keep the same job their entire life and is also monogamous. w h a t

Twilight princess book three!!

Can I get through it tonight? We'll see.

Me he pasado mucho años de la vida tratando de todos los modos posibles no ser como mi madre. Y creo que ella siempre lo ha sabido y, a pesar de eso, me ha querido más que a nada.
