this is going to sound like such a little sibling ass take but i genuinely believe that being a little bit annoying is actually a greater sign of maturity and self awareness than being universally likeable and on good terms with everyone
Everything is just sunshine and butterflies for this baby
“He holds me as though I’m the only solid thing in the world.” —Jude about Cardan, The Queen of Nothing
“The odd curve of her ear was what he had noticed first. A roundness echoed in her cheeks and her mouth. Then it was the way her body looked solid, as though meant to take up space and weight in the world. When she moved, she left behind footprints in the forest floor. Because she didn’t know how to glide silently, to disturb no leaf or branch. He felt smug to see how bad she was at even such an easy thing. It was only later that it disturbed him to think back on the shape of her boot in the soil, as though she was the only real thing in a land of ghosts.” —Cardan about Jude, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
aka a love story summed up in two quotes <3
I just want to disappear into this universe. Be the sun and the sand, the wind and the water moving aimlessly. I want to be the dance between the earth, the sky and the waves. Be the energy that holds everything in its place. And then I just want to appear as a tiny human being and open my eyes and open my heart to see myself.

idk I think mocking the whole ”I was a gifted child” thing is funny but I do also think that it’s an understandable phenomenon because there are many people working in soul-crushing corporate jobs who miss being in elementary school and learning for the first time that you’re good at something & being told that your thoughts matter and have value. and then growing up and realizing none of it matters under capitalism unless it’s profitable. idk. I miss my stories being picked out to be read in finnish class
