Or at least like cool, unique music that's really transportive. But choosing top 40 music you'd hear in your local Target? That's the vibe they wanna go for 😭
Women in fantasy are either quiet and brooding or irreverent and fierce.
We need more playful, feminine female characters. We need more Nina Zeniks and Donatellas. They're flirty and girly but still independent and tough.
I can't believe the Shepherd King is only a duology. 92% done with Two Twisting Crowns but I'm not ready for it to be over yet 😭😭 I am so connected to these characters and this world; I might actually mourn them
Realizing how important it is to me for there to be meaningful friendships in fantasy stories. Like we all know romance is a given, but there's something about my fmc going thru a traumatic time in her life, and having a new girlfriend to lean on that just warms my heart.
Tbona spoilers**
Lala does not deserve Evangelines friendship. She's lucky Evangeline is way too forgiving. If my bff put a deadly curse on me, pretending to be my friend just to manipulate me??? Id say bye girlll
My bf finally getting home from over a month of international travel and i have to work in stupid fxcking manhattan all week instead of cuddling all day everyday is the cruelest form of torture like why doth God keep thy love apart?!!
unpopular opinion but I do not like overly organized bookshelves.
I think there's a beauty to the chaos of books that lends itself better to curating an interior space. makes the eye travel. seems more inviting to me somehow.
I love seeing a moot fall in love with a new favorite book. They just post about it nonstop all passionately with hearts in their eyes. Even if I don't know the book I'm like yayyyyy yessss so happy for you 🖤
Do you look your age?
Post a pic.
32. Idk 🤷🏼♀️ I think I look maybe 27. But some people I went to HS with look like they’re in their 40s so idk if I’m just delulu or what
that girl that faked the book haul is iconic. not hurting anyone, didn't give af when she was called out, "I did it for attention".
everyone here does it, she's just shamelessly, unapologetically not giving af hahah
Cr: The Cruel Prince
Ok yall we're right. I was bummed that it started in the modern normal world. But wow this faerieland is so amazing & magical I'm in love with it already😭
Also just a small silly detail but I friggin love the hair horns 😭 already looking up tutorials haha
Releasing my very 1st art installation for a night club/show tn. I am so freaking excited! I got so inspired by the friggin insane installations/set design in night clubs + festivals in Miami. I have been trying to break into that industry since then. I'm so excited!!

Pro tip to music lovers. I keep a playlist with artists that I want to remember to go back and explore later. It's been such a useful tool for remembering and discovering bands you encounter in passing.
I hate that in almost every fantasy/adventure book, ppl always call the mc stupid
Like ok this person is literally a victim reacting to impossible circumstances, as if u would you make perfectly rational decisions when an entire army of monsters is shooting at you outta nowhere
@gaiamanifests
someone did this to me the other day. like if I don't know, please educate me. these ppl almost do it in a way like they're trying to call you out in front of everyone, and get you canceled but like it's not your fault if you don't know?? educate ppl kindly or keep to yourself
Damn this was actually a great exercise, going thru previous recommendations. If you recommended a book to me already, and don't see it, please remind me! I had some really awesome looking recommendations that I now can't find :(((
Been seeing a lot of talk about The Captive Prince. Can someone tell me what is so ✨️special✨️ about it?
I don't mean this in a facetious way haha it just doesn't sound that different from a billion other fantasies but I know it is!
girls don't wanna date men who are too nice. but I only date nice boys. so while yall are getting ghosted & gaslighted by bad boys with commitment issues, I'm getting fawned over & treated like a delicate little princess by my nice boys. I'll never get what's so bad about that😭
it is deeply alarming and prescient that there is so much desire to consume more games content. mags' games, haymitch's games, finnick's games, annie's games. almost like people are missing the political message and just want to see children m*rdering each other. almost like....
Why do authors keep doing this to me 😭
I wouldn't wish this outfit on my arch nemesis. Yet you're dressing this hunky Greek God like someone who'd be friends w the Tinder Swindler.

I am already obsessed with this. the writing is so dreamy and enchanting with a dusting of creepy.
Photoshoot I styled SHOCKINGLY turned out OK
90% of the clothes i pulled were stolen. Both the model & hair/makeup artists called out the day of. Found new model an hour before the shoot. Just kept her hair wet since we didn't have hair & makeup. Shocked that it worked out✨️
I was so in love with the book Daisy Jones that I named my fashion dress form after it, and changed my burlesque name to Daisy Jones. Now after watching the show version I absolutely cannot stand her, and now I feel like I have to change it all haha goddammit
I have a theory that in the fashion industry, you can always tell who the most powerful person in the room is because they are the worst dressed.
Interns & assistants are the only ones who ever look good haha.
This is me today omw to my big girl Manhattan fashion job haha
currently rewatching shadow and bone
after reading all of the 6oc and sab novels (aside from ruin and rising I'm cr)
this is a whole different experience watching this the second time around after reading the books
when I read The House in the Cerulean Sea, I was so utterly enchanted and in love with it, that after I finished it, I gave the book a huge hug with happy tears in my eyes.
no book has ever had that effect 🖤

Idk how people deal with anxiety. I get a teensy bit like once a year, and I cannot even deal. Yet some of yall deal with it everyday 😭 you people are so strong and deserve the world.
It's officially available!! Please please check out my picrew. <3
I'd also love feedback! I want it to be easy to make book characters. I have Jude's & a pink hair option rn.
Also as an fyi, it's not masculine at all rn. I'll be working on that. Xx

Not that anyone cares but i decided I'm making this a book/music Twitter. The whole reason I made this Twitter is bc i have so many things to say about books, but my irl friends dgaf haha same can be said about my music (all my friends are djs/edm die hards 🙄)
I wanna know what everyone's 5⭐️ reads are so I can know what to pick up next👀
I'll start:
blood circus
house of hollow
6oc

ember in the ashes series
piranesi
house of salt & sorrow
ToG series
1 dark window
monstress
last tale of the flower bride
house of hunger
ever have a book that you don't nec. recommend bc either you're not sure if it was actually good or not or it was really good but just so weird that people may not like it. but yet it was so impactful and bizarre you want someone else to read so you have someone to discuss with
Sometimes I feel like we don't have much to talk about on here and we just keep recycling tweets cause everyone reads the same books all the time and there's almost no diversity.
We're literally always talking about the same books... 💀
Was debating but REALLY didn't want to take a workout class tonight. I meant to just click to look at the class but accidentally booked it. Putting on my sneakers like
I know I should probably be bitter for being mistreated. But our friendship is SO important to me. TN she asked me if I wanted to get brunch with her and i just almost cried out of relief. I have so much love for the people in my life. I'm so happy when they're here 🖤
Went to the Urban/Free People/Anthro outlet again bc I'm obsessed. I got this record stand that's been on my wishlist (originally $119) for $24?!!!!! I told the sales girl I'm literally going to skip to my car
traveling the next 2 weeks with a backpack only. my partner is using my kindle and I'm just so excited he even wants to read that I don't wanna ask for it back. but like HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIT BOOKS??
also "men and women can't be friends" is such a bizarre and toxic mindset. if you don't think men and women can platonically be friends, that probably means you have an unhealthy relationship with the opposite sex, and you should probably rectify that.
Everyone being stressed over reaching their reading goal. Meanwhile I'm over here feeling guilty for how many books I read haha all of that time could've been spent progressing my career, making art, and working out 😪
