Me, describing my favourite Abarat character: “So he’s an incel who writes poetry and marinates his face in his own pickled nightmares.”

So which is he?

I love this man. I can’t believe such a short book could make me love a character this much but I fucking love this man.

#reading prince of crows by aaron dembski-bowden #jago sevatarion #he’s so fucking cool #he’s hilarious too #he has so few books I’m distraught #oh #teleportarium’s offline #let me just fucking fly there #let me just maglock my feet outside a starfighter and hope the power of physics doesn’t turn me into instant corpsestarch #mr. in a legion that considered tactical cowardice one of the finer virtues a sign of bravery was worth investigating #mr. don’t make me kill you as well after var jahan suggested revenge #mr. our imaginary honour #apparently is also mr. I will not abandon them

So which is he?

Funniest thing about listening to audiobook is when the audiobook has non-English vocabulary thrown in and you realise the audiobook reader has no clue how that non-English language even work.

I just heard the reader pronounce “Kancil” as “cankle” lmao

And now Qianze pronounced as Kenzie. I know she ended up using Kenzie as her english name, but at least if the text says Qianze, it should be pronounced properly.

#books #there is no instance in the Malay language where the letter c is pronounced like a k #there was also another audiobook where dagang was pronounced dajung #there is no soft g #you’d think for official audiobooks they’d do some research #you literally just have to google the word

There’s a genre(?) of books that I recently found I really enjoy. So far I’m calling it “fictional non-fiction”.

#random ruminations #books #strange beasts of china by yan ge #biography of x by catherine lacey #you feel it just below the ribs by jeffrey cranor and janina matthewson

I gotta say, after reading through three books and three short stories I still fail to see how Ianthe is “lessbadtwin”.

#ianthe tridentarius #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #like I get that Corona has a manipulative side #but Ianthe’s… Ianthe #she’s my favourite character don’t get me wrong but she’s… Ianthe

It’s funny to see fanfics where the “I alone am the honored one” line by Gojo is taken so seriously.

They put it in like it’s a dramatic proof of power acknowledged by the universe or something Gojo regularly quips in his mental narrative when it’s literally just him quoting Gautama Buddha on one occasion.

It’s a brief moment of casual blasphemy from a character established to be arrogant as fuck during a power-trip.

It’s the JJK equivalent of “Bigger than Jesus” and I can never take it seriously when I read it in fanfics.

A Song of Ice and Fire 🤝 The Kingkiller Chronicle 🤝 The Books of Abarat

#the I’m not sure the next book will ever come out trinity #Also #the latest book in all three series was released in 2011 #I refuse to see this as a coincidence #obviously I’m not entitled to the next book #the authors owe me nothing #but it’s funny to point out #I do hope they get to finish them though #if they don’t though i don’t want brandon to continue them either #I’d rather they be unfinished forever #idk #random ruminations

American Psycho feels like extended chapter 11 from The Picture of Dorian Gray

I found my new Most Hated Character.

The weirdest thing about not growing up with any exposure to Biblical texts and stories, is finding out how prevalent it is in western media and having zero context for things they expect everyone to already know.

#books #the chronicles of narnia #lord of the flies #the old man and the sea #i didn’t realise anything while reading these books #then i read what other people say about them #i’m going to start assuming any character who dies is a jesus allegory #so confused

I know I shouldn’t expect brilliant portrayals of women in a book published 74 years ago but damn it 1984 is turning me into a misandrist.

#1984 #nineteen eighty four #george orwell #the early chapter where winston’s immediate reaction to his (prejudiced) hatred to julia #is to daydream about s*xually ab*sing her #really sets the tone for my expectations

My sympathy towards Newland Archer died the moment he started wishing May dead.

#books #english literature #the age of innocence #edith wharton #good god man lie in the bed you’ve made for yourself #i know he did in the end but like #dude #i love this book but man flaking because of true love is still cheating #I’ve never been in love so I might not know #but trying to make me root for a man cheating? nah mate

I need to reevaluate my “dislike” towards the romance genre because I’ve been enjoying Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters and Edith Wharton very well so far.

#books #english literature #jane austen #charlotte bronte #emily bronte #anne bronte #my favorite bronte sister #edith wharton #starting to think I just don’t like watching romance but am perfectly fine with reading it

God I need a way to block self-insert fanfics from my search. How are you all so horny?? Why??

…did I just read the word “slut” in a Brontë book?

#the tenant of wildfell hall #anne brontë #anne bronte #the whiplash this gave me #I had to recheck if this book was actually published in 1848 #instead of #say #2011
