HAPPY READING, HORROR FANS!

707 and “You can’t banish me! This is my bed too!” :D?

The argument had been juvenile and entirely one-sided, your level of stubbornness clawing to astronomical heights. Your hands made quick work to flick the crumbs and straggling chips from the sheet, deliberately aiming for the side of the bed where you saw the top of Saeyoung’s head and eyes peeking up from.

“Y-You’re so cruel! How can you just throw me on the floor like this?!” he feigned his sobs, the croak in his voice. “It’s so cold down here. Have mercy on my soul! Let me back on the back, I’ll give you a back massage–no, wait! A foot massage and a head massage! I’ll massage you head-to-toe for the cheap, cheap price of letting me back on the bed.”

“Hell no,” you retorted. “Go sleep on the couch and eat your gross chips. I’m so sick of hearing you crunch, crunch, crunch–just crunching them all night!”

“Baby, I can change!” Saeyoung pleaded, jolting onto his knees before swinging a leg onto the mattress. “Just wait, I’ll show you!”

You promptly grunted and swatted his leg away. “I hope your next bag of chips are stale.”

Saeyoung reeled back, fingers splayed across his chest with a look that suggested he was thoroughly affronted. “I see what kind of person you truly are. Ruthless, unyielding, dominating–it’s super hot, honestly–but you can’t banish me! This is my bed too!”

In return for the resolute glare gouging into the side of your head, you merely cast him an exasperated sidelong look before chucking several pillows at his head. “Just shut up and help me get all of your crumbs off the bed.”

You had just ripped the corners of the sheet from the bed when you noticed Saeyoung slowly rising to his feet, pillows tucked between his arms as he turned, almost mechanically marching towards the door. 

“Saeyoung…” you warned.

“I’ll just go sleep on the couch, anyway.”

“Saeyoung!”

~~~~~     

   “YOU WILL LOSE NEXT TIME!” You yelled as you ran towards a building across the street, sliding behind it and into a dark alleyway, hiding until the crowd would dissipate.

   It was rare that you used your voice since you had to keep your identity a secret, after all. Even when you did use your voice, you would change the tone, to make it less likely for someone to recognize you. After everything that had happened, you were completely out of breath, with cuts on your face and blood dripping from said cuts.

   Who would’ve thought that you’d end up like this? You were a villain, humanity’s number one enemy, at least when they are derived from its own. The trouble you caused would always appear in every local headline, sometimes even showing up around the world.

Gathering Blue and Son from “The Giver Quartet” by Lois Lowry

Books 2 and 4 in the Giver Quartet. While books 1 and 3 are also good, books 2 and 4 are featured here because they have female protagonists. The books are part of a series, but only loosely connected and can be read as standalone books if desired. Gathering Blue follows Kira in a dystopian future as she makes a place for herself in her village through her ability to dye cloth, a skill which helps prevent her from being cast out for being disabled.

Follows Maggie and her book-worm father after she discovers her father has the ability to bring to life any book that he reads aloud. They are quickly swept off into the narrative of a fantasy novel. 

The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman 

Though part of a trilogy, the first novel is the most appropriate for dark academia, following a female protagonist (Lyra) in a historical fantasy setting as she unravels a mystery. 

Music: 

Florence Welch 

Lana Del Rey

Lorde 

Hozier 

Enya 

Alice Merton 

Regina Spektor 

Lenka 

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓

FAVORITE FICS I READ IN 2019 PART ONE

Keep reading

Spread this around!!!!

shit parents have no business telling to their kids:

I wish you were never born

Nobody will ever love you like we do

You’re lucky, other children have it worse

I should have beaten you more

You’re so incapable you will die out of stupidity

What can you do

You can’t do anything on your own

You’re so dumb you can’t get one thing done

You’ll never survive on your own

You will never amount to anything

You deserved this pain

You deserved even worse

You’re weak

Nobody cares what you want

Do you think I get what I want?

You’re useless

Why do we even keep you around

Why do we feed you

Who do you think paid for all this

You only take and take and give nothing back

When will you start paying off

also:

any kind of comparison to monsters, demons and pests

any kind of insults or slurs related to appearance, gender or sexual orientation

life-threats or violence-threats, even when they don’t sound serious

convincing children that their boundaries are a problem that needs to be gotten rid of

openly telling children everything that’s going on is their fault

if you feel the need to say these to your children, you obviously have no love or care for them. You think your children should suffer and you see nothing wrong with hurting your own child. You’re a disgrace and a burden on your own child. Children deserve better than this. They deserve parents who love them and protect them from pain. Why would you inflict pain on your own child. You are abusive monsters. If a child is suffering because of you, there’s nothing good about your existence.

Do you happen to have any Patrochilles modern au fic or comic recommendations?

I haven’t read too many but here’s a short list with links (most of these are just the popular ones on ao3):

Not Homer’s Iliad (I remember this was pretty good and a little funny)

at least as deep as the pacific ocean  (I am a sucker for Coffeeshop AUs)

tell me again (Blind Patroclus AU, depressing but also sweet)

as the poets say (short but I loved the way it was written, just beautiful)

your name like a song  (this one’s just pretty)

We were like gods (this one’s a longer)

Lux Aeterna (a tiny bit angsty, totally worth the read)

Also, this one’s not a Modern AU but definitely worth mentioning is The Good Soul which was absolutely amazing.

Bear in mind, these are mainly TSOA fanfics, not Iliad fanfics.

I haven’t found any comics yet but I will keep a lookout. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY:

wait until it gets dark and make tea or coffee or hot chocolate, or if it’s too hot outside make yourself a healthy smoothie with your favorite things in it at any point during the day

put on your favorite underwear, it helps, trust me, it’s an old family secret (i’m not kidding)

if you have a pet, play the “how many things can i stick on you until you move or get mad” game (bonus points if they fall asleep, extra bonus points if a family member sees you and tells you to quit it, extra double ultra points if they join in)

rip a peice of paper into as many little pieces as you can

go to animeseason.com and click “random anime” until you see one that looks completely ridiculous (or actually good) and watch the first episode. repeat if it sucked or if you get bored halfway through

spend at least an hour making a music playlist for how you feel right now and save it for now or when you feel a bad mood rise again

curl up in bed and cover yourself with blankets and pillows and put in music and just lay there for a while (sleeping is also good)

eat everything

drink lots of water

it’s okay bad moods don’t last forever!!!!!! i promise!!! you will be yourself soon and there are people who love you very much, don’t be afraid to reach out to them

you are lovely

eat lots of bananas

I’m constantly torn between “if it’s meant to be, it will be” and “if you want it, go and get it.”
