Yuna and David having watched their autistic son be so isolated all of his adult life and never having a happy relationship or close friends who understand his anxiety and then finding out that the man they’ve spent a decade hating on his behalf can casually talk him down from a panic attack in less than a minute
Dreams do come true. ♥️ Can't wait to dig into this masterpiece by @senlinyu @senlinyuwrites
books I’ve read in 2023 📖 no. 104
North Woods by Daniel Mason
“Sometimes, overwhelmed, she retreats into the forests of the past. …and she has found that the only way to understand the world as something other than a tale of loss is to see it as a tale of change.”
I’ve been reading this book the past few days and just finished it this afternoon. It was an oddly comforting thing to be reading during the midst of *gestures* all of this, but I was particularly struck by this line towards the very end:
“The only way to understand the world as something other than a tale of loss is to see it as a tale of change.”
Not really an encouraging quote in the traditional sense, but it did give me some comfort.
This profoundly unsettling book is as disturbing as it is effecting. The Vegetarian, by recent Nobel-winner Han Kang and translated from Korean by Deborah Smith, depicts Yeong-hye, a seemingly ordinary woman and wife, as she decides after a disturbing dream that she will no longer eat meat. Her husband, a profoundly unlikable narrator, and then her parents, siblings, and brother-in-law all attempt to force her back into eating meat, to no avail, as she begins to break apart other social norms, from going to nude to going silent.
It is a compelling narrative, though also haunting. The people around her seem to descend into madness due to her madness, her refusal to behave, her refusal to abide by social norms. And who, really, is she hurting? For the longest time, no one. No one at all, and let the people around her become possessed by her actions. At times, I felt like all this was unnecessary, all this activity, all this obsession. And then I realized that that is the point, on so many levels: it never had to be this way, did it? What if she'd just been allowed to continue not eating meat? What if those around her had accepted it? Would things have descended to the point they did? Kang's novel asks us, in the background of violent scenes, what it really means to enforce strict normality and conformity in our world, and whether we are too desperate to do so, focused so much on our own selfish desires that we allow others to spiral alongside us, even propelled by us.
Severe content warnings for domestic violence, animal cruelty, sexual assault, self-harm, suicidal ideation and attempt.
it just keeps getting funnier how tairn keeps reaching record-breaking levels of single dad energy
i'm barely on chapter 20 but his life up to this point has pretty much consisted of:
"I just put the baby down for a nap!!"
threatening the school principal for trying to murder picking on violet
"DON'T WAKE THE BABY!!"
very short date nights once a week with sgaeyl where i'm sure too much time is wasted catching up on all the kids
keeping violet from breaking her neck with extreme gymnastics
DON'T. WAKE. THE BABY.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
“What is a game?" Marx said. "It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”
Sam used to say that Marx was the most fortunate person he had ever met - he was lucky with lovers, in business, in looks, in life. But the longer Sadie knew Marx, the more she thought Sam hadn’t truly understood the nature of Marx’s good fortune. Marx was fortunate because he saw everything as if it were a fortuitous bounty. It was impossible to know - were persimmons his favorite fruit, or had they just now become his favorite fruit because there they were, growing in his own backyard? He had certainly never mentioned persimmons before. My God, she thought, he is so easy to love.

It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.

Hi, I love your stories. I stumbled on your profile searching dramione. At that time you had only Enchanted Relaxation up and I loved it so freaking much. Just so that i have something else to read from you, I started your ronsy fanfic the best thing. It's probably one of the only ronsy fic I have ever read and I absolutely love it. I have probably reread it over 3 times over the years and I check in regularly to see if you have updated.
I know you probably have the dramione fics up on the list of the fics you want to complete first but just thought to let you know how much I like The Best Thing, the dynamic in that fic is *chefs kiss*.
So yeah, going to read it once again.
Thank you so much for this!!! Finding this ask in my tumblr inbox made my day 😍😍😍 I do fantasize about finishing all of my fics one day, including Best Thing.
Ok girlies time for our prescription 1-2 hour walk, imagine we r all in line like Madeline
in an old website on the internet all covered in vines, lived some lovely little mutuals in two straight lines..
