I’ve been re-watching Fringe and I totally forgot that Leonard Nimoy is in this show I freaking love this show

[fitzbeloveds]

the paladins' reactions to being attracted to someone are soo funny and somehow they get worse with each book. stephen is like "i feel bad because it feels like i'm abandoning my duty", then you have istvhan who's like "i feel bad because 1) she's a nun and 2) i stabbed her", galen brings it up a notch with "i feel bad because i'm a murderous bastard and i hurt everyone i touch" and then shane is like "what a shame i didn't bring a HAIRSHIRT to BEAT MYSELF with"

god i love them

I’ve decided after reading @tkingfisher’s Hemlock & Silver that what I love about her novels (besides the well developed world building, the compelling plots, characters who feel real and flawed, and romances that make me beam even when they’re subplots) is that I can always feel the passion for whatever thing that originally drew her attention and made her go “Oh this would make a great book!”. Swords, perfumes, paladins, bugs, poisons— her curiosity is so captivating.

If I had a nickel for every time the short story The Lady, or the Tiger? was referenced in a thematically relevant manner in one of my favorite books I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that happened twice

Just finished watching the Haunting of Bly Manor you people make me sick I’m Sobbing

[emilysibyl]

I feel like I’m mildly harassing librarians when I finish a book at 1am, put the next book on hold immediately, and then go the next morning to pick up the book before I get the notification that the hold is ready because I know they have the book and it’s just sitting on the shelf and I can’t wait.

Can some librarians weigh in is this causing you problems I’m sorry 

[emilysibyl]

And while we’re on the subject T. Kingfisher has got no business making me as emotional as I am about those silly little romance books about paladins. I bawled reading Paladin’s Faith like a crazy person. I don’t know what kind of sorcery is in these books but I can’t wait for the next one

[emilysibyl]

Just reread Swordheart again and T. Kingfisher I would die for you this has been a psa

[emilysibyl]

Had my mom read Swordheart— she also loved it. My plan to make everyone I know read @tkingfisher’s books is working slowly but surely.

lost in the moss

[monstrousproductions]

OK so I don't usually bring personal stuff to this blog but I am being hunted for sport by my book club for the way I read my books and I just want to check how badly I have misjudged what is "normal" in this situation lol

When I put down the book I'm reading...

I use a designated bookmark to mark my place

I use whatever is to hand to mark my place (receipt, scrap paper, cat etc)

I put my book face down, open on the page I'm at

I dog-ear the page I'm on

I don't mark my place and just find where I was the next time I pick it up

Voting ended onNov 23, 2024

So far I have been called "unhinged", "profoundly disturbed" and a number of variations thereupon for my habit of just... closing the book. Which I guess isn't what everyone else is doing. Apparently.

Also please, if you have very strong feelings about this, yell to your heart's content - I can direct you to an entire book club of people who will yell right along with you 😅

[guiltrose-deactivated20180203]

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

[emilysibyl]

I’m a pretty firm believer that if no one’s getting hurt and you’re having fun then whatever you’re doing you’re doing it right

but I gotta say if you’re not writing a 36k+ fanfic for a d&d character that only 5 other people on the entire planet have context for? I dunno maybe you are doing it wrong we’re having a blast over here

[alenseress]

Hi Alen! I had an acquaintance of mine on Twitter ask where one of your Spirk pieces was -- the one with Jim is kissing Spock's back. I searched your socials and couldn't find it (btw, you're an incredible artist, I had to stop and admire your Merther pieces). If you could show me where I can find it I would be thankful. But if you have already been asked about this, or intentionally deleted it and do not want to be asked about it, I completely understand and you reserve the right to your privacy. Have an amazing day! <3

Found it if this is the one!! It's probably went online untagged, so it's all good

And thank you for the incredibly kind words 🖤🖤😭

Jaskier

Yennefer

Geralt

Cirilla

I’m so proud of these four art pieces. I worked so hard on them and I had so much fun

I’m also on Inprnt where you can buy any of these art pieces if you want

[calyssmarviss]

Jaskier: Are you done? You know, they won’t pay me if i never show show up and play for them. Geralt: *sniff* no. Jaskier: OKAY :D

[the-bard-followed-the-witcher]

I love the thought that Geralt is the clingier one once they are in a relationship

Like sure Jaskier still very much enjoys Geralts company and he has the need to constantly be touching the other in one way or another but control himself wel enough to you know, let go of Geralt from time to time.

Geralt on the other hand, a complete mess.

it’s just been so long since he allowed himself this kind of closure and he is starved for it. If it was all up to Geralt then Jaskier would probably constantly be sitting in his lap and Geralts arms would constantly be around the other and he would be surrounded by Jaskier all the time. Sadly it’s not all up to Geralt so he’ll settle for touching the bard whenever he can, and he’ll settle for sharing endless nights together, and he’ll settle for having Jaskier around as long as Jaskier wants him there. This time it’s Geralt that follows Jaskier to the end of the world.

Damn son we sure do.

[valewright42]

Love the idea of - before they’re “official” - Geralt always having the urge to cling to Jaskier, but aggressively resisting it.

Fingers twitching up towards him, so clenches his hand into a fist so tight his knuckles creak.

Leaning slightly into his space, and then going so ramrod straight that Jaskier is a little worried he locked his knees and is going to fall over. (He’s a stage performer, he’s seen it before.)

Waking up to realize he’d cuddled up to Jaskier while he slept and tearing himself away while Jaskier complains at being woken so rudely. Setting up his bed roll on the far side of the camp the next night.

And then when, eventually, they actually become partners, Jaskier realizes that Geralt is the clingiest fucker he’s ever met. Curling around him at every opportunity, getting a pleased little flush doing something as simple as holding his hand, scenting him constantly… He sleeps like a damn octopus when he let’s himself too.
