librarians please add an “ordinary fucking people” tag to your romance search options on Libby; i don't want to read about a viral internet star or an heiress thanks

whatever happened to firemen

babe you can do so much better than a former Navy SEAL

when they say “hopeless romantic” but mean “foolishly swallowed the propaganda of patriarchal heterosexuality” and not “really likes thinking about Frankenstein”

very informative thanks

hard to find that during COVID

the next time i find someone attractive? it will probably be the same exact shit

the last time i thought someone was attractive, we were snuggled together in a queen-sized bed at a bed&breakfast in apple country, and they were playing some music from youtube on their laptop and softly singing along, and i looked up at their face and could just see every part of them reflected there

and they smelled like ginger snaps, or maybe that was the ginger snaps we picked up from safeway the day before

people who think i’m pretty? i think they’re full of shit

remember when i wrote

[matches [regexp-match #px"^((.)\\2*)(\\s*\\{(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^}])*(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^\\\\}]|\\\\(?!\\}\\\\))\\}\\s*)?(.*?)\\2*(\\s*\\{(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^}])*(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^\\\\}]|\\\\(?!\\}\\\\))\\})?\\s*$" trimmed]]

i long for those days

very curious imo

yet we talk about “what is the history behind zelda’s tense relationship with her father” (not: “what is the narrative function of zelda’s tense relationship with her father”) and “what does it say when the U.S. responds in such a way to China” (not: “what is the history behind the U.S.’s response to China”)

very interesting inversion; things are the way they are in a work of fiction in order to make a point; things are the way they are in real life for a multitude of reasons which are usually not consciously determined or sensibly organizable into a firm narrative statement

i think it is very interesting the extent to which People On The Internet seem to concern themselves with Why Things Are The Way They Are in a work of fiction and not on What Those Things Are Saying

contrarily i seem to find the opposite happening in real life

*speculates on lore*
very good analysis!

in fairness the “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut currently sitting in the Notes app of my phone is really fucking good

i would like to remind potential employers that my academic area of expertise lies at the intersection of literary theory and sexuality studies

what if i published a “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut chapterfic

i’m a writer because anybody who writes long enough eventually gets good at writing (this is a lie) but you can always tell the assholes straight off (also a lie)

the problem with instrumental musicians is that anybody who makes music long enough eventually gets good at making music even the assholes
