DEV PATEL Monkey Man (2024) dir. Dev Patel

I just know me and every other girl at the bookstore today with big headphones on wanted to speak to each other so bad but knew we wouldn't

feel a sense of kinship and solidarity with every woman i see sitting alone in public reading a book

thinking about the amount of new taylor swift lyrics i'm about to learn against my will through smutty fanfiction titles

i hate you e-tickets. give me a little keepsake or die

saw a stupidass take about my favorite guy but im being sooo brave about it

no offense but if your friend is trying out a new hobby be fucking nice to them

guard dog femmes. femmes whose nails accidentally digging in when they grab someone to keep them from falling over. femmes who seem incredibly docile with their partner but their hackles raise as soon as a perceived threat makes itself known. femmes that like having a person to protect. femmes that seem intimidating or mean at first but welcome affection when offered. femmes who just want to keep their people safe.

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

OH MY GODDDD YOUVE READ GREGOR THE OVERLANDER???? THE most formative literary experience of my entire childhood!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO READ THE GREATEST CHILDREN BOOKS OF ALL TIME

I loved those books so much and I haven’t read them in years but I have so many feelings about them still like I will just barely think about the last book and I immediately start tearing up 🥺

When I went to my parents’ for Christmas a couple of months ago I was planning on bringing my copies home with me along with some other books and then I learned that my brother had stolen them because he’s a little bitch and we nearly got into a fistfight about who should get them. But as I am theoretically an “adult” and the older and more “mature” one, I decided to let him have them 😂 I still need to get my own copies tho RIP

Hiii hello! I come bearing gifts (an ask game if you wanna play!) List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 5 people who liked or reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

Oo! I've done this recently, but as it's in the Odyssey box, I'll do 5 things on this specifically for fun. The first ones that come to mind are:

The sheer chaos that is Kassandra / Alexios' little home on Kephallonia. All the abandoned hobbies. The questionable scene just below it on the hill. The fact that the wiki says Phoibe lives there too. I just love it.

Herotodos. I know that between the two boat dads, Barnabas is by far the fan favorite, but Herotodos has a VERY special place in my soul. I can't even pinpoint why. He just does.

All the fandom shenanigans around Stentor. I wanted to strangle him in the game, but fanfiction / fanart have completely reversed that. Easily my favorite part of any work he's featured in. Smile every time.

Intentionally fucking up Alkibiades quests and making him irate. It makes the fact that he keeps coming back 10x funnier and led to so many funny headcanons in explanation. Try it. It's worth it, I promise.

That little pool not far from the front of the temple of Apollo in Korinth. I've spent far too much time there <3

There are so many more now that I'm thinking about it, but I'll leave it to these :)

hiiiii i'm here to present you with an ask game! list 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers (ू•‧̫•ू⑅)♡

Hi!! This is such a cute ask game, thanks for sending it to me ☺️

1. Collecting stickers (to put in my scrapbook)

2. Bookstore pets!!!

3. Clean sheets (skin contact with god)

4. When you can see the moon but it’s still light outside

5. Having a freshly shaved buzzcut

Also it’s entirely possible that I’ve send you an ask about this before so I apologise if that’s the case, but you have one of my favorite usernames I’ve seen on this site xD it is PERFECT

I have come to the unfortunate realization that if I want people to see my art I have to actually share it first. 😬

Anyways, here’s the first piece of AC Odyssey fanart I did of a younger Kassandra on Kephallonia that I recently decided to color. I lowkey want a DLC of those early years with Markos and Phoibe.
