Was going to include nonfiction and essays and such but once I hit 100 fiction titles I called it quits. Formative books from childhood...

I have made. Another list. To include books that shaped me but which I don't own/ not include books I own but haven't read yet. This only includes books I met before I graduated from high school, because I had to draw the line somewhere.

How many have you read?

#thanks to my siblings for reminding me of several very important books from our childhoods that contribute to our collective family lore #i've still certainly missed some very obvious ones #these are literally in whatever random order i thought of them in so don't put too much thought into which is listed first #also! whether i included each individual book in a series or just The Whole Series was basically based only on vibes #but if i included only SOME books in a series those are the ones that are/were most important to me #anyway enjoy hehe #books #book recs #bookshelf #about shieldmaiden #list challenges #polls

Almost all the books I own, because inevitably I will have forgotten some that I've loaned out, except for all the picture books.

I dunno if anyone will click through and do this but some of my moots posted their own versions of this and I love a cataloging project so! How many of the books I own have you read?

#organized as they are on my shelves so: everything by and about tolkien together. everything by and about shakespeare together.#nonfiction by subject matter. everything else alphabetical by author. except! some historical fiction which is by date it's set.#but only if a historical figure/event is a main focus of the book not if it's just a story which happens to take place in the past #which i realize is a subjective and arbitrary line to draw but they're my shelves!#anyway if you do this please let me know and we can talk about books! i had a lot of fun going through lists from other people #books #bookshelf #about shieldmaiden #*#list challenges

Girl who has left claw marks in every single thing she's ever had to let go of: idk I just really like getting-back-together stories for some reason.

#for the record this is not saying i personally want to get back together with an ex #but as a story? few things hit harder for me #it's the this love had to let it go free and this love came back to me of it all #tropes #about shieldmaiden

Cut off at 100, so there's nothing here I didn't grow up with, though there have been some wonderful new picture books in the last 30...

ANOTHER! Picture Book Edition.

For anyone (no one) wondering what I would have worn to the Met Gala: a post.

For last year’s “In America” I’d do a completely accurate recreation of my favorite American 1770s gown:

But I’d add on wildly oversized lace engageantes:

You know, these guys. But like. Trailing to the ground.

And I’d only wear the gown, not the petticoat-- you can’t really tell in the above picture because it’s all the same fabric, but gowns from this time period were more like skirted jackets, and would be open in front without the additional skirt underneath. So for instance picture the lines of this one without the green skirt.

Obviously I’d wear the right supportive garments to get the shape of the skirts, but this is a Legs Out look because under the gown I’d be wearing sequined hotpants in the same green as the dress and the open-toe over-the-knee stiletto jean boots (joots) complete with ripped knees I found at a Goodwill last summer.

Hair situation would of course have to be that fluffy, ruffly, frilly, floofy 1770′s cap over high hair moment, as seen on Miss Mary Cruikshank, Mrs. Izard, etc:

For this year’s “Gilded Glamour” I would obviously just wear an exact copy of Alice Vanderbilt’s Electric Light House of Worth gown, complete with lightbulb, but made entirely out of fiber-optic fabric so the whole thing lights up. Naturally.

#met gala #sorry not actually sorry at all for this post because i have been thinking about this for a year and also i'm right #met gala 2021 #met gala 2022 #in america: a lexicon of fashion #gilded glamour #about shieldmaiden #put it on me #historical dress #...nominally #eighteenth century dress #......even more nominally #met gala 2k21 #met gala 2k22 #*

In honor of Ace Week: my funniest acespec anecdote.

About five years ago my then-boyfriend came over and we were making out in my bed. Possibly in a state of semi-undress. (Not being coy here, I just don't remember for sure. Seems fairly likely though.) Suddenly I sit up and excitedly say "oh I know what I want to do now!"

And then I grabbed my copy of Pride and Prejudice off my nightstand and read the first six chapters out loud to him.

Didn't even realize I might have created (and then immediately disappointed) a false expectation of where things were going there until several days later.

#recently told my sister about this and she laughed at me #which is entirely fair #asexual #ace awareness week #demisexual #ace tag #about shieldmaiden #shieldmaiden speaks #to be clear this isn't why we broke up he turned out to be an antivaxxer so i dumped him lol

You wouldn't believe how much of my life I spend imagining becoming famous enough to go on a Stephen Colbert show and challenge him to Tolkien trivia.

#about shieldmaiden #like i have questions READY #which isn't cheating bc i don't look up answers i just like thinking of actually hard questions #tolkien #stephen colbert
