Disclaimer:

This is a bookish blog where I mostly post about SJM books (that's how it started at least)—but you will find other bookish content including fan art. I also reblog other random things since this is tumblr and chaos is welcomed.

If you're interested in reading some of my SJM-related theory and meta posts, then check out the below.

[MASTERLIST]

You'll find links to almost all of my ACOTAR posts including theories and analysis. A good portion of them are focused on Azriel, Gwynriel and ACOTAR. This will make your lives and my life easier, sometimes I'm tired of repeating the same point or answering the same questions so where you'll hopefully find them all!

Writing all these theories and analysis posts were a joy to me. I love writing and I love analyzing the text and making my own theories. Happy reading 🤍

(List to be updated. Tumblr doesn't let me add more links for each post and I want to add new/recent theory posts)

[skulandcrossbones]

some people really do need to start reminding themselves that the answer to "why didn't the character just do [something entirely different]" is often simply "because then there wouldn't be a story"

The men are saying we will not live out the night. They say that it is hopeless. There is always hope.

It's so nice not to give a flying turnip about the shipwars anymore.

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for the month of February! (Still behind, but catching uuuup) Featuring Will and Tessa from the Infernal Devices by Cassie Clare, precariously sneaking a smooch before the inevitable plot interruption!

Gosh there so much detail on her dress that's being covered up by the balcony rail, but perfectly set up for a possible animated version - always good to have that prepped!

This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

This is honestly one of the places I find Marie Kondo's advice most helpful. I stop, look at the thing I've spent time and money on only to realize I dislike, and I say, "Thank you for teaching me something about myself and my preferences. I think I've learned this particular lesson and we can part ways now."

And then I don't feel like I "wasted" things or made a mistake. I just tried one path of learning about myself, learned something, and now it's time for a different path. Works a lot better for my brain.
