Hi hello! First post!

I'm Ophelia, I write stories and sometimes poems if I'm feeling up to it. Taking a gap year from college for some internal reflection. I want to be a librarian one day!

I like ghosts and witchy stuff, I think it's neat! I just don't believe in it

Minors and bigots DNI, I don't have time for that, this is supposed to be a relaxing thing for me

My freedom was a gift

You do not get to take it back

Whenever you see fit

I can behave normally around books

[bookwyrminspiration]

I can be trusted in bookstores and libraries and you should take me to those locations

My boss likes Madonna.

Every day I question if he's really as Republican as he makes himself out to be.

writers often make jokes about our search history accidentally looking very ominous or bloody, but my search history is like "anatomy of a lamp" and "birth certificate example"

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

im not even the type of guy to go "actually it's frankenstein's MONSTER" because a painting by rembrandt or picasso or any other artist is often called "a rembrandt" or "a picasso" as shorthand. so in this respect frankenstein's monster can be considered "a frankenstein"

darling I love your 8 foot tall patchwork flesh creature, it really livens up the place. is that an authentic frankenstein?

[parkayquarts]

it's only a true frankenstein if it was produced in the frankenstein region of switzerland. otherwise it's just a sparkling homunculus
