I like big books and I cannot lie!

Hi, Paulette. Age 24. Passionate bookworm. Symphonic metal trash. Anime geek and dreamer extraordinaire. Here's were I rant about my musical babies and my fiction addiction.

[ID: A collection of excerpts of text.

Excerpt 1:

saying goodbye. Yes, there is a place where someone loves you both before and after they learn what you are.

Excerpt 2:

Finally, in a low whisper, he said, "I think I might be a terrible person." For a split second I believed him - I thought he was about to confess a crime, maybe a murder. Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.

Excerpt 3:

screaming take me as I am or kill me

screaming peel my skin off like a blindfold

screaming love me despite the horror

screaming please, God, love me because of it.

Excerpt 4:

show me your thorns and i'll show you hands ready to bleed.

Excerpt 5:

I kneel into a dream where I am good & loved. I am

good. I am loved. My hands have made some good mistakes. They can always

make better ones.

Excerpt 5: Caps lock letters that look like they've been cut and pasted on top of overhead pictures of fields. It reads:

Tell me every terrible thing you ever did

And let me love you anyway

Excerpt 6:

Love me. I am pitch black,

sinful, blind, confused.

But if not you, then who else

is going to love me?

Excerpt 7:

"If you are intolerable, let me be the one to tolerate you," I said, and then I kissed her and tasted the lemon juice on her lips.

Excerpt 8:

"You have seen the rotten streak in me and you have come back, no matter how bad it was. You have always come back. Can't you see? You have taken me always as I am, no matter what."

Excerpt 9:

"I wish you wouldn't look at me like that." "Like what?" "I don't know," she hesitated. "Like you could love me."

Excerpt 10:

"I love you, and I am conscious of you all the time."

Excerpt 11:

In this space right here that we have made for each other, you can say anything and I will not abandon you. Unwrap the worst things you have done. Watch me hold them up to the light and not even flinch.

@eijispumpkin another quote from Patrick Rothfuss’ Kingkiller Chronicle (if you haven’t read it yet, don’t! Doesn’t seem like the author has plans to release the final book anytime soon) “Anyone can love a thing BECAUSE, that’s as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love a thing DESPITE, to see the flaws and love them too, that is rare and pure and perfect.”

Response for when the far-right pick a fight by spewing ignorant divisive bollocks, then claim that they're being 'bullied', or 'cancelled', or 'oppressed' or 'silenced' when other people argue back or criticise them for said bollocks.

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple

the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?

“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?

“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?

“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.

 You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.

[thegrimzuera]

“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”

Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.

You Got a Friend In Horse

YOU DO NOT HAVE A FRIEND IN HORSE

[petermorwood]

Indeed, you have several NOT-friends in horse.

[headbanging-nightrunner]

I just wanted to let you know that I think you're a very cool person with an awesome taste in books and just an awesome fanfic writer, wish we get to cross paths someday😁💛

Hi! Thanks, that’s very kind of you. I was in a very dark place when I wrote the AFTG stuff, I might get back to it someday and just make it less explicit. But I appreciate that there’s still people that enjoy my writing

[tiktokmuseum]

[myusersnamegoeshere]

ovbiously this person has done so much research and cares about their tortoise so much but.... the mf idea of having a live tortoise in a TUPPERWARE?! IN MY FRIDGE?? WITH ME FOOD? ahahahaha

[rattle-my-stars]

[blog-carmex]

@esperantoauthor when the food doesn’t come to Tesla, Tesla comes to the food

[esperantoauthor]

Reminds me of when I accidentally stumbled across this photo for the first time...

mutuals put me in your fridge

[gallusrostromegalus]

Back in 2015, I went over to a classmate's house for group project work late in the fall, and in the middle of working on the presentation, offered to grab sodas for people but they were out of pepsi and Andrew whose house we were at said "Oh, there's more in the basement fridge."

So I go down to the basement, which is well-lit and finished and indeed there are more pepsi but also in the fridge is a massive tortise. This animal was the dimensions of a desktop computer and probably outweighed a labrador. It's not moving, and is set in the middle of a plastic tray so it's apparently supposed to be there. I go back upstairs.

"Hey Andrew." I say, nonchalantly. "So is the tortise in the fridge down there for soup or what?"

"The what?" says the other member of the group project. I don't remember her name, just that she always wore her hair in pigtails with butterfly clips that were based on real butterflies and she had at least a dozen species.

"Oh! No, that's Andrew Too." he says. "His species hibernates so he stays in the fridge for the holidays."

"You named your tortise after you?" I ask.

"No, uh- Well, my grandfather got him in Egypt or somewhere while he was on leave during the war and He was named Andrew, so he thought it would be funny to name him 'Andrew Too'. ...Then Mom named me after him so Gandpa left me Andrew Too in his will. He's pretty cool when he's awake. Lets us dress him up for summer holidays, doesn't bark."

"Oh!" Said Butterflies. "My dad served in the Gulf War too! What unit was he in?"

"Oh no, Grandpa was with the Royal Air Force in World War Two. Andrew Too is going to be 70 this year! We're going to make him a carrot cake!"

[hollowboobtheory]

he was named after the tortoise

This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

Personally I always felt like Hobbits age at roughly the same rate as exceptionally healthy humans and that the reason they don’t come of legal age until 33 is because have you met people in their 20s because Tolkien did

Funny: Pippin is an idiot because he’s not an adult yet.

Funnier: Pippin is an idiot because he’s 28.
