Hi Cath!! for the bookrec asks: 1 (i love this question so much), 35, 43, 73, 115, and 128!!!

Hi Anna!!! Thank you for the ask, lovely ❤️❤️❤️

1 - A book that is close to your heart

(I adore this question as well, and you better believe I’m answering with a different book each time I get it) Working On A Song by Anais Mitchell (Hadestown is my favorite musical)

35 - A book featuring the found family trope

You know I gotta say AFTG, specifically The King’s Men, I mean COME ON (by Nora Sakavic, if anyone’s curious)

43 - A book that you’ve read more than three times

The House of Hades by Rick Riordan!! (My personal favorite of the HOO series)

73 - A good book with an awful cover

Ok I wouldn’t say they’re awful per se, but the All For The Game book covers are not my favorites (I’ve seen some gorgeous fan covers though) the books however???? Fabulous, I adore them

115 - A book with multiple POVs

They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera!!

128 - A book with beautiful prose

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller!! (The prose reads almost like poetry I swear it’s THAT beautiful)

tell me abt the librarian ramble you didn’t put in the tags of that post plssss

Okay, this may be a little unfocused, but it's two basic points.

1. OP in that post isn't wrong about librarians/teachers/gardeners (I assume) being underpaid in the general scheme of things, though at least for librarians, once you've gotten some experience and/or if you're in an admin role (such as a library director), you're probably actually making decent money. Entry-level or parapro, though? Your mileage may VARY. Like, I do fine because I live in a small town and don't have as much student debt as some people, but if my circumstances were even slightly different, things would be tight. I still have to make sure I'm not blowing my budget between paychecks.

(But like 1a. - does OP know that technically to be a librarian you need a master's degree? Anywhere that's halfway decent has to pay you at least somewhat accordingly. [Very very small towns and villages may be exceptions to this rule, but again, your mileage may vary.])

2. This may be my hackles automatically raising every time I hear someone even hint at my profession without actually being part of it, but does OP know what librarians actually do? It's not a cozy, reading-all-day-and-helping-people-find-books kind of thing. (Though we don't NOT help find books, obvs.) There's also technology help and event planning and book purchasing and book weeding so there's shelf space and accurate information and crowd control and "oh hey is that person smoking weed in the bathroom again" and "exactly how pissy are people gonna get when we make a Pride display" and etc etc. I love it at the end of the day, don't get me wrong. But romanticizing it only adds to the really distorted worldview people have of libraries and librarians.

(Oh, and back to point 1 - yes, I want more people in the profession so it stays alive, but at least where I live, we're not exactly hurting for qualified applicants, so take that as you will?)

'ello, Johanna <33 if you get this and want to, answer with 3 random facts about yourself, and send it to 7 blogs in ur notifications or to anyone else, anonymously or not <3 here, have a lil star, too, as a treat: 🌟

hii anna thank you!! so here it goes:

i'm allergic to horses

i can ride a unicycle

i only have plastic plants in my home

[bigtheif]

cereal with apple juice?? that is such a wild choice i kinda...wanna try it. but but but. how does one get to cereal with apple juice? that doesn't seem like the first choice? and what kinda cereal? tho i do stan ur boldness ngl lol <33

it’s actually good I promise! I used to eat cereal with milk, but then I developed lactose intolerance, and I don’t like any of the alternate milks, so I started eating it with apple juice concentrate mixed with a lot of water (cause otherwise it’s too sweet). and I usually eat it with multigrain cheerios or bran flakes because I’m old :)

for the fanfic ask thing: 3, 6, 14, 11, 17, 19 (14 and 17 may just be purely for my amusement lmao) (make 19 abt kevin pls) xx

omg ty for all of these 🥺🥺

3. Do you prefer canonverse or AUs?

i think AU?? Mainly bc there is really only so much u can do with canon, so an AU is always going to feel a bit more fresh. id kill for more kevjean aus ;;

6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?

I think that might have been sara's exchange fic!! [here] its kerejean and perfectly captured the romcom mood!!

14. (For authors) Post a line of dialogue from one of your WIPs without context.

Here's a long one:

"Fine,” Jean says, although he does not sound convinced. “I will start, and you go after. Because really, it is your fault I am calling at all. You told me to just answer Jeremy Knox when he speaks. But now? He is everywhere. Waiting for me between classes, insisting we eat together. I had more privacy in the Nest.”

11. Kid fic or childhood friends?

Childhood friends lol. in this house its all about the friends to lovers.

17. Describe a fic that is still in the ‘ideas’ stage.

remember when i listened to sex (with my ex) by fletcher and then spammed about u about how it could be kevjean?? and u agreed to write the fic based on it w me? 😌😌

so basically kevin and jean going off to separate pro teams post graduation. While while they haven't resolved their issues they still start hooking up w each other when the opportunity arises. ....thats it thats the fic.

19. What’s your favorite character headcanon?

Ahh what headcanons do i even have for my fav boy... maybe that kevin relies on abby a lot? I mean theres def support for it in canon, but i still think it counts as a hc.

In my head she's the one who makes sure to ask him how hes doing, and will hug him when he needs it etc. And maybe she gives wymack a couple or pointers when he starts acting more like a dad instead of a coach. The idea of them having family dinners is so soft i might cry 🥺🥺

[megglations]

For the ask thing: 7, 8, 10, 19 (there’s only one correct answer to this one, meg), and 32 <3

7-10 answered here

19. would you rather have 100 kittens or 100 puppies?

uhhhhhhhhhh i’m not really sure what you want me to say here so i’m just gonna say both kdjfksd.

32. favorite soda?

tanora (i’m pretty sure it’s only sold in my county or province i can never remember) and root beer

Bookmarker's Notes:

If you are curious about what a relationship between Jean + Kevin might look like, dive into this story by @jjeanmorreau. Perfectly titled, this time jumping work captures what I imagine it might be like to be Jean Moreau sorting through his life + complicated feelings for #2. Gracefully + respectfully told, it's a poignant story.
