Watching A New Show (to Me). Always A Scary Thing Because I Never Know If Im Gonna Have To Be In The

I have to draw my class' logo and we choose to put a kazoo on it.

wdym I have a chappell roan obsession...

Reblog and put in the tags a stereotype about your profession (or course of study) that actually applies to you.

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?

Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.

There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.

And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)

And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!

The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.

So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.

the dead boy detectives ao3 tag has really been going strong lately. keep up the good work, folks! all the effort is appreciated <3

Hi :)

Hello,

I'm midas, but you can call me... god (just kidding)

I've been on tumblr for quite a while now but I wasn't really active. And since a new school year is about to begin, I decided to give it a shot, and try to actually post stuffs on here.

I will post mostly about fandom (Mostly Dead Boy Detectives and PJO, I think), movies, books, music and being a student (I study humanities).

So if you want to be moots with me, I am... right here :)))

PS : I'm french.

my english lit teacher made us listen to david bowie's songs during a class to teach us vocabulary.

he is an icon.

it would be so funny if in season 2 (let me be delusional okay) during flashback of edwin and charles creating the Agency, we would get a scene where Charles is testing his magic backpack and makes a Mary Poppins references and start fucking singing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. And Edwin being super confused in the background because the language nerd he is is trying to understand what Charles just said.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
