I hate ruminating on what could have been. Out here thinking "if only I locked in when I was 13" are we serious
Ilya: this guy is cute, I should start a stationary bike race so he knows I want to get sweaty together
Ilya: that didn’t quite work. Maybe I should just give him the eye? While I tell him I hope he likes his new city?
Ilya: okay. But surely if I make him drink from my water bottle and brush his fingers when passing it over…?
Ilya: call him pretty. To his face. No way he can miss that
Ilya: desperate measures, I’ll have to tell him I orchestrated this whole ad campaign just so I could see him again
Ilya: WHAT IF I STARTED JERKING OFF IN THESE COMUNAL SHOWERS?
i think one of the reasons that heated rivalry has been so successful is because everyone involved with it is so fucking proud of what they created. like there’s zero embarrassment or shame about how sexual it is or how queer it is and it’s just such a breath of fresh air
"I hate Scarlett Dragna" "why?" "She is just too soft and useless" okay...go read about Jude Duarte, Paedyn Grey, Katniss Everdeen, just leave my girl alone, it happens with Every character istg...Evangeline, Scarlett, Juliette, Rose, LEAVE THEM ALONE. just because they don't want to rip someone's head off doesn't mean they're useless or if they're emotional.that doesn't make them weak, FMC doesn't nessecarily need to kill someone and be a bloodthirsty monster to be categorised as strong, tf? That's just how they are meant to be, and if you hate them for begin "too soft" then you clearly don't understand their characters..

HAS A FANART EVER LOOKED THIS GOOD?????
It's funny because if you summarized the first two episodes of Because This is My First Life you could say, "Man wants to marry a woman because she's good at cleaning" and that would seem pretty sexist. But it doesn't feel sexist at all for the simple reason that he deeply appreciates what she does.
Because the point is that Ji-ho has been cleaning for her brother and her mother has been cleaning for her father and they are completely ignored and unrecognized and unrewarded for the labour that they do relentlessly but then See-hee tells Ji-ho that she is the best roommate he's ever had and tells her that her stress cleaning is awesome and he wants to provide her a home because she makes his life easier. And it's like, that's how this is supposed to work. So you could summarize the first two episodes instead as "Man rediscovers a centuries old social contract but actually wants to do it properly."
Mix in Ep 3 where "Woman offers marriage to man because he feels very safe" and you are reaching a whole new understanding of how low the bar really is for men. Ji-ho is willing to marry a guy, without love, because he offers her a safe and warm home and because he's displayed very basic decency multiple times and I really wish I couldn't completely identify with that feeling. She just needs a safe place to sleep and he is safe.
The bar is so, so low.
I know this isn't about girlhood but that's what the template said and I didn't feel like changing it, plus it's funny
the reveal that mizu is not only the ronin but also the bride is so well executed. the way she walks the line between man and woman, white and japanese, victor and victim... it's good fucking writing.
There was a character in a book I read once who was described as "handsomely fat" and that phrase is stuck in my brain forever. The author really was like "no shut up, they're charismatic, they're good-looking, they're handsomely fat. not just handsome AND fat; them being fat is directly contributing to their good looks. you agree." and they were RIGHT
anyways!
SHE WANTED CONRAD.
The best part of not remembering the plot of books after a year is that I can now reread the books I bought in 2021 and it’s like reading them the first time 😅
“Who got you smiling like that?” The book I just finished. I can’t stop thinking about it.
"How do you read so many books??" I am simply trying to avoid reality, what are you doing

“Do it scared” “do it badly” it’s time to drop the guide for do it alone
Doing it scared and doing it badly is one thing, but no one seems to talk about doing it alone. When you feel so isolated from your friends and your family but you have shit to do and you have to get it done no matter what. When your support system really is only you. For any myriad of reasons. We do not talk enough about doing it alone.
I lowkey hate how people misunderstood this post because it’s not about “go to a movie by yourself every now and then uwu” “be your own dinner date!!” it’s literally being at a stage in your life where the only person who’s gonna consistently be there for you, for whatever circumstances, is you. And it’s about the loneliness that comes w reminding yourself that that has to be fulfilling enough bc the only person who’s guaranteed to stay w us through anything is us. Thats what I mean by doing it alone.
