for your Consideration: reverse umbrellas. as soon as u open them they start raining all over u but everything around u is dry. thank you for ur time this was my ted ta

why stop there….. you find this umbrella for a weirdly low price at a yard sale being run by a person wearing a shitty wizards hat. the label says FOR “WEATHER” and when you ask what that means they pretend not to hear you

you try to return it the next day but the entire plot of land has become an applebees. there hasnt been a yard there in almost 30 years, the waitress tells you

Turns out people really like me waffling about Narnia on Twitter.

So here’s a more hopeful spin on Susan Pevensie. (From the author’s pen to your eyeballs.)

After finishing an emotional book:

me: *reading*

person: *starts talking*

me: *continues reading*

person: omg you're clearly ignoring me ugh

me: you're clearly ignoring the book in my hands

Magnus Chase: I hate wolves

Jason Grace: *GASP*

Magnus Chase: And blue

Percy Jackson: !!!!!!!!

Guys. I’m just reading the new Magnus Chase book and, look at this. Seriously Rick is the best. This book is so good.

Magnus, 10 days after knowing he's a demigod: You are the elf, you are the dwarf, you are my aunt Freya, prophecy about a beast? Must be Fenris. You can't be Odin, you must be Loki. You are Hel. Oh this is Valhalla. This place feels dark and cold, must be Niflheim then. Also you are the guy mentioned in chapter 63

Percy, after 2 Great Wars and some countless quests: *looking at nosoi* Uhm...what is this again?

At the Bookstore:

Book: hi I'm all sweet with a good ending

Me: hm promising

Book: I will wreck your heart and your future and make you feel things you never have before like true pain and sorrow

Me: I'll taKE IT

Magnus: I'm bored.

Alex: We could grill a man.

Magnus: I was thinking colouring books, but that works, too.

I really appreciate that after being told Alex’s pronouns change Magnus’s narration never refers to Alex with pronouns until being told what they are for the time being. He specifically avoids misgendering Alex in his thoughts.

I like to give my irl friends a freebie doodle if they read some of my favorite books. It’s how I rope them suckers into fandoms I like. Anyway, a friend just finished reading the new Magnus Chase book. All he sent me was “Tired and mildly annoyed Magnus with his new shitty haircut to match his personality”

I live to oblige.

“As long as you don’t ask me to represent every gender-fluid person for you, okay? I’m not an ambassador. I’m not a teacher or a poster child. I’m just"—she mimicked my hand-waving—"me. Trying to be me as best I can.”
