YOU'VE READ THE CHEWING GUM RESCUE AND OTHER STORIES??!!! I WAS THE ONLY ONE AT SCHOOL WHO EVER BORROWED THAT BOOK!!!

BRUH

margaret mahy is the bomb freaking diggety and the chewing gum rescue is my favourite book of hers. i lost it for years because the first time i heard the stories was a friend bringing around the audio book (on cassette, ughhh so old) and because shit aural memory i couldn’t remember any of the names only the stories. and then the advent of the internet and i could search by random details i remembered and i found it again. (and then i sort of stole it from my university library - not so much stole as lost and then when i found it i’d already paid for the replacement sooooo i just kept it??)

do you always choose the elderberry option on any drinks menu because of the giant’s bathtub?

did you know that macbeth talks, like, a lot

[shakespeareismyjam]

my aesthetic for this read through is: prepared but ironic

[shakespeareismyjam]

you can’t tell really, but that’s a 1L bottle and i finished it by the break. murderin’ is thirsty work, gotta keep hydrated.

[sphinxyvic]

“Fantasy and reality often overlap.” - Walt Disney

[honor-among-thieves]

He wondered whether home was a thing that happened to a place after a while, or if it was something that you found in the end, if you simply walked and waited and willed it long enough.

A sign outside a Mom & Pop store in Alabama. Destiny disagreed, there is always time for fussing and fighting of a friendly nature between friends.

I would have agreed but that would have been beside the point.

Destiny gets a call from Connie (on speaker-phone)

Connie: Destiny! Destiny, you have to help me - they're being mean again.

Destiny: Hey, Connie honey. What are the Wanderers making you eat this time?

Connie: We're at Wendy's, and there are frosties and fries, and I don't understand why we're doing this.

Destiny: You know you don't have to eat anything you don't want to. Even if it is an American rite of passage, and the best thing ever.

Connie: I know but they're looking at me with the puppy dog eyes. (Whatevs, you are totes the cutest puppy dogs.)

Destiny: Other than the initiations to the American way, how are you?

Connie: Good, pretty good. Hey, are you driving?

Destiny: Yep,

Connie: You shouldn't be driving and talking on the phone at the same time. It's illegal. Well, it's illegal back home, but seriously.

Destiny: I have it on speaker-phone.

Connie: Is your friend there? Can she hear this? Hello, Destiny's friend!

Destiny: She's here and she's smiling. But she won't talk because this is going to be a chat post and she refuses to have an active voice.

Connie: Isn't she like writing the whole thing in first-person?

Destiny: You'd think. But she'll only narrate - or maybe curate is a better word - one step removed from the action so she has no physical identity. Girl's got hang-ups. Guess who we've had on all day? Justin Beiber. I love the Biebs!

Connie: What was that?

Destiny: Nothing. She's punishing me for calling her out by making me say things I didn't say.

Connie: Well, thank her for making pictures of our lyrics. Thank you, Destiny's friend!

Destiny: She's giving the phone a thumbs up like you can magically see her through the phone. Going to rock out the afternoon with some of Taylor Swift's best teenagerly angst turned pseudo-lyrics.

Connie: You have fun. I've got to go - some lady's glaring at me for talking on my phone in a restaurant, like her kids aren't making twice as much noise. See you real soon, please?

Destiny: Betcha. Bye!

Destiny: ...

Destiny: Not cool, Connie Mark II, not cool.

When cars make weird noises

The car's been making weird noises the last couple of days but Destiny refuses to stop until she finds the right kind of garage. As always with the 'right kind of' things, she is looking for one like they have in the movies.

-Well, more specifically, one like they have on tv. Preferably with Winchester boys included.

[exquisitliltart]

“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here I can pretend [...] Our existences are brief and bounded. NONE of us will last longer than this version of the universe. Things are created. They last for some little while, then they are gone. Empires, cities, poems and people. Atoms and worlds. One cannot begin a new dream without abandoning the last. Death defines life, just as despair defines hope, or desire defines hatred, or as destiny defines freedom an dreams define reality. Life like time is a journey through darkness. Life is short.”

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 7: Brief Lives (via exquisitliltart)

- The illusion of permanence, says Destiny. Yeah, that feels about right.

Night Windows; Julie Blackmon

Un-curtained windows at night are like a million theatres playing out vignettes of everyday extraordinary lives. I always look, and I can't apologise for it.

Now, a pedlar glares at me and gives me a wide berth in his wagon. He does not know what to make of a woman alone riding the Worldroad. I am neither commonwoman nor princess, but some strange new hybrid. Worst of all, I am manless. ‘What will come of it?’ I hear him mutter. ‘If one rides alone, will not more ride after her?’

‘The Pumpkin Eater’; Isobelle Carmody. (via improbablepirate)
