*wave* I got completely overwhelmed by school again this semester, so I dropped off for a while there. So, hello! How are you?
I am just listening to the Barbie Princess and the Pauper songs again and again. They’re SO GOOD
I don’t want to do homework but if I’m going to justify painting I GOT TO DO IT
Looking for more people to talk to
Big emphasis on to talk to, because I wanna support some people. So IDK, maybe share a booklr rebel fact of yours. Like, mine would be the fact that I love buying books secondhand, especially if they’re hardcover. I get to save money!
On some days, I think I want to make something with a Colleen Hoover quote, or maybe something a little bookish in general . . . and then I go through my likes, and then there’s a beautiful Ari and Dante quote, there’s another beautiful quote, anddd another. :/ It’s so hard to choose
~Procrastinating~ forever
So, hey, send me an ask with a cake emoji and I’ll letter your username!
Itching to hand letter bookish things again
I’ve been on such a hiatus because I was so burned out after finals, so that explains my absence. I’ll slowly piece together that Crooked Kingdom piece together, though!
shanandwords reblogged
When the same group of people are continuously responsible for dozens of seasoned blogs leaving. People that have spent years discussing and blogging about books. People we’ve all been friends with. That have put their hearts and even their personal life out for all to see. Why do we not label them the bullies?
Why are all of the blogs that dare to say something different automatically the bullies and have to be taken down? Why can people not want to have a discussion instead of a witch hunt?
Why are those people still being held to such high regard when they obviously have no regard for others?
Why did booklr give them that power? What happened here?
Why is everyone so afraid to be their own person now?
TBH, I swore never to even try to voice my opinion ever again when I voiced one unpopular opinion when I was 15. I can’t forget the anxiety that I felt when I saw that the person I had been having a private discussion with went public, and I couldn’t believe it when that person argued that I should be publicly defending myself when I tried to continue things privately after that. But I’m risking it again now because I think it’s important to say that the bookish community taught me that my opinion was worth nothing if it wasn’t the right one
So hey, if you’re a teenager or if you’ve got an unpopular opinion and you don’t feel safe voicing it out, please know that I completely understand. And if you need to talk to someone, feel free to send me an ask
I finished watching Kubo and the Two Strings
I cried
Happy New Year everyone -from someone who wants the fireworks to just stop already so I can get some goddamn sleep
I am so ready to ruin my hand for @lbardugo (also ASDFGHJKL I own the box set aghhhh)
Done with finals
And so, I read
It’s that wonderful time of the year where I’m wishing for companionship but I’m not good at putting myself out there so maybe I should wish for that
I've been thinking a lot these past few days, and to be honest, I'm not a book photographer. I'm more of a letterer, and I'd rather turn this account around to reflect that I do that, and that I have these stores. But what I do is slow, and it doesn't help that I'm squeezing it all in with school and everything. I just can't put out 10 designs a month or so. I can just make one. So I've really been trying to figure out what quotes would be best for each month. And I've got so many ideas rattling around this head of mine, and I would really, really love to be able to bounce them off to someone, to a group of someone else's, even. It just gets frustratingly lonely trying to do all this without any idea if it resonates with anyone, which is what I'm trying to achieve. And the idea of getting a rep has been in my head a lot, but I can't afford it right now. But I want to do a modified version, where the reps are all in a group chat and there are lot of discussions and feedback, and while I can't give them anything right now, I will pay them back as much as I can. I'm one of those eternally grateful types So in the end, I would just love to know if that's something you might be interested in participating in. I'd really love to work with booklrs
I’ve realized that it’s been a while since I started this Tumblr, and I’ve ended up being something so different from where I started. I don’t think I’ve ever truly articulated just what I do now, though, so here’s me trying to fix that.
So, to start off, I’m in a horrible book slump, and I’ve always been rarely emotionally invested in books, so it’s not easy for me to talk about books or characters or shipping with people.
And in all honesty, right now I’m just more interested in doing this hand-lettering and trying to figure out how to run my stores better. I could just talk about my frustrations and dreams for it for days.
But seriously, if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m pretty needy for conversation. Like, feel free to just forego the greetings and just jump right in with questions or asks. I can talk about Six of Crows, if that helps (my wall’s almost a shrine to it. Almost. Got to add a Crooked Kingdom poster). Or maybe you’re interested on hearing about hand-lettering and my plans, or you could tell me your dreams and plans. Or we could rant. I can rant pretty well. Just, in a nutshell, I would love to hear from you

I couldn’t stop thinking about events from the book, but this obviously contains spoilers, so don’t click below until you’ve finished reading Crooked Kingdom.
Just finished Crooked Kingdom
I need someone to discuss it with
