#I NEED TO BITCH ABOUT TOBY WITH SOMEONE FUCK THAT GUY TO HELL AND BACK #why do i lowkey feel like he experienced feminine rage tho like the shitty cinematic romanticized kind #i read witch elm like a week or so ago and it left me FUMING with just liek everything #susanna my love! leon my love #toby literally die

Friend, you’re so Correct! That guy sucks! A big part of the appeal of The Witch Elm was how utterly tone-deaf his narration is; the rest of the appeal was watching him suffer.

Tana French is such a great writer, the Ominous Vibes are excellent, and Toby’s character arc was so well crafted that by the end I sort of felt sorry for him - which he would absolutely hate if he were not fictional, so that makes it even better. Some of my notes while reading the book, according to goodreads:

At 45%: Toby is giving me Rob vibes as far as Tana French narrators go and idk how to feel about this (still I stand by this! except he’s a bigger asshole than Rob could ever hope to be)

At 67%: I love that Toby is so self absorbed that everyone around him is like "well he could have murdered someone and then forgot about it because it made him feel bad". Himself included

At 81%: Toby listening to Sue's harrowing story of unrelenting sexual harassment and making it all about himself and self congratulating for being a good guy is SUCH a Toby thing to do

At 86%: Toby: what do you mean I'm not cut out for murder? I COULD be if I wanted to

Anyway. You’re so right, Susanna is GREAT, Leon only slightly less great. Toby is... there. To suffer :)

very classic but i'm a lady in love with a gal who is most likely straight (she's mormon) and i've been told to get over her by staying away but i can't help trying to be near her all the time :") plus we're much more physically affectionate than either of us are with our other friends and i just. can't. she makes me so happy and sometimes we have conversations for ten minutes with the tips of our noses just touching while holding each other's waists and aaaaaaaaaaaaa

okay like… ofc I couldn’t say anything for certain about the sexuality of someone I don’t know, but… that level of physical affection doesn’t sound very straight to me?? My bf and I were the same way before we got together, super affectionate in a “totally platonic” way that was actually very gay. Her being mormon doesn’t mean she couldn’t be LGBTQ+!

That being said, I’m glad you have someone who makes you so happy in your life, regardless of whether that’s in a platonic or romantic way 💞

sketch PLEASE share the egg song that is your island's song!!!!!!!! the people must know!!!!!! (if ur comfy w it ofc)

Anonymous said: May we see the egg song lyrics

YOU MAY, I don’t have any good recording equipment, but you can have the lyrics! they’re supposed to be sung on a kind of simple, lullaby-esque melody, here u go:

Do you like eggs?

They are delicious, they are nutritious, and good for you

There’s so many options when choosing an egg

It’s not just about the flavor, it’s about picking correct

Picking an egg that’s cheaper might save you a buck

but the right egg brings you luck!

LET’S GO GAYSIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this isnt weird at all and is actually very sweet. it’s really hard, and while theres a bunch of queer people in our university, we still live in the philippines which is predominantly and aggressively catholic and so things, like, suck for queers. but in spite of this and all the challenges that might rear its head, im just so happy to be with her. 

thank you for this ask! i hope u have a lovely day too!!

Is Persephone demisexual (if sexualities are a thing between gods) or are the gods who try and court her just assholes?

I can confirm that the blood moon was very red but I vote we change the name to the rose moon cause it was too pale to be blood

blood moon just sounds so epic ... Red-Tinted Kinda Tomato Soup-y Looking Moon just doesn’t have the same dramatic flare to it

though rose moon would be very cute and elegant and very befitting of our dear battered lady in the sky, I will admit this
