Why You Should Read Realm Of The Elderlings

priorities

Rereading tsh is so weird cause there’s a whole dialogue with Henry where he goes “uhm so yeah we used drugs and poison to get absolutely fucking smashed and see god.”

“But…you had sex?!?”

My canon: Neil is super weird, but in a way people don't expect and it catches them unaware. He will have a perfectly normal conversation with you and then you realise he doesn't ignore the first slice of bread of the loaf, uses it right after opening it to make a sandwich. He doesn't have a set way of replacing the toilet paper roll. He does sock-shoe-sock-shoe. He takes the peel of the banana off completely before eating it on the go. He unplugs the laptop yanking on the cable not the plug. He eats kiwis with the skin on like they're apples. He eats dry cereal then drinks a glass of milk.

Neil Josten is like an alien that has managed to blend in quite well with the humans but sometimes he does something that reminds you he's a martian

how did Richard casually mention doing cocaine in a burger king parking lot and then ONE LINE LATER call Judy a 'senseless cokehead'

my dude drop the superiority complex

just finished the spear cuts through water, thought i'd jump up on tumblr, see what the talk is about. tell me why no one NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE DEFECT TURTLE THAT STARTED A TURTLE REVOLUTION BY SHARING WITH ITS BRETHREN AN IMAGE/MEMORY OF A PEACEFUL RIVER MORNING

rip Neil Josten u would've loved reversible jeans and Duolingo

when u pull up to the 'unreliable narrator' competition but nobody's there

turns out Richard Papen subtly implied it was now and u unquestioningly believed him but really he won hours ago

working on a bigger socmed project so have some randoms

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing

let's be real he found an old fashioned pipe somewhere, like he's going all out

also ganseys 100% a stress smoker sorry no regular non-smoker is making all those metaphors
