I don't usually read books but if bigolas dickolas ordered me to who am I to disobey

All the romantic dramas I've watched in the past month have poisoned my brain and deluded me into thinking that I too have a chance at a genuine romantic relationship full of angst but also comfort and mutual pining which is as far from reality as possible and I am not okay

The situation in tristamp Twitter is so funny rn like this is THE fandom moment of 2023

I implore you to just such "bigolas dickolas"on Twitter and see what I mean

AND NOT ONLY did Bigolas dickolas,trigun's trending Stan promote the time war BUT it also caused the REPRINTING OF THE TRIGUN MAXIMUM MANGA.(like what?)

Alright nobody think about Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye and This Is How You Lose The Time War

"This is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El- Mohtar & Max Gladstone

The story follows two of our protagonists belonging to two different futuristic worlds which are against each other. It follows different timelines, describing from the past historical events to the things which are probable to happen in the future. Basically, it is a story of time travelling to the past, could be for saving something or destroying things. Red is a time-traveling agent from a world more collective and dependent. Blue's one is calculating and more independent. So, red's the one who runs and Blue's the one who ruins. Red and blue eventually get a form to connect to each other: through letters. So, it's more like a "enemy to lover" romance story in the historical and sci-fi world.

I have really liked the concept and storyline of the novella. But i have found the language a bit difficult to get by. The books at the beginning and some points also seemed a bit messy. I lost the tract and did not understand some of the rapidly mentioned historical references. It took me much time to understand the plotlines as well. I just wish it was more understandable and swift to grab a whole bucket of information (the ongoings) all at once. But the good thing is, as we keep reading, the things start untwisting and it feels less confusing. And slowly you starts to love it.

The message of the story is the best. War is the worst thing we can do. Love is the one thing everyone needs to live truly and fully. Love is another name for freedom, not war, of course.

and yet again THE CRANE WIVES making music to perfectly fit the books that destroy me

Literally just started reading This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. This was my very first impression of Red. Curious to see how I’ll picture her by the end of the book!!

When I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.

Absolutely devoured This is How You Lose the Time War while dealing with train delay today and omg I've never felt so many feelings at once?? The prose-esque writing left me detached from reality wtf
