commission by lacampanule on insta
I finally need to share the beautiful pokopiku commission I got from alora a while ago 🥺 I'm still so much in love with it!
nah cause the fact that jane austen wrote a character like emma woodhouse is still insane to me. she threw all the standards out the window and was like hey, here’s this incredibly complex and nuanced character, she’s selfish, privileged, manipulative and arrogant, but she’s also really fucking kind, she would do anything for those she loves (including sacrificing a lot of her liberties), she is able to admit that she’s made a mistake and grow from it, because those things are not mutually exclusive. and i think the reason why everyone is trying to girlbossify their heroines to make them like lizzie bennet (which is an insult to her character but that’s another story) is because they’re scared to write characters like emma. which is understandable, because she’s unlikeable-ish, and they don’t want to take that risk.
honestly the way jane wrote emma is IMPECCABLE and not everyone can pull it off, but i wish female characters with actual flaws were more popular.
jae-won will be remembered 🙏
Moved liked months ago but only now have I opened those packing boxes to organise my bookshelf. Not me ignoring the rest to take a picture as if I'm done 😂 (and they're all also randomly slotted in with no regard for any sort of organisation).
The AOT manga boxed sets are a new happy addition 🤩 still awaiting volumes 23 to 34 though. Burned a hole in my wallet, but I suppose we deserve to find small joys in life when we have to live the life of a corporate slave 😌
Shoutout to @storiesofaot for recommending R.F. Kuang's Babel to me! Hehehe
also, RecipeTin Eats cookbook is the best ever, go get it. Trust me.

Encouragment for writers that I know seems discouraging at first but I promise it’s motivational-
• Those emotional scenes you’ve planned will never be as good on page as they are in your head. To YOU. Your audience, however, is eating it up. Just because you can’t articulate the emotion of a scene to your satisfaction doesn’t mean it’s not impacting the reader.
• Sometimes a sentence, a paragraph, or even a whole scene will not be salvagable. Either it wasn’t necessary to the story to begin with, or you can put it to the side and re-write it later, but for now it’s gotta go. It doesn’t make you a bad writer to have to trim, it makes you a good writer to know to trim.
• There are several stories just like yours. And that’s okay, there’s no story in existence of completely original concepts. What makes your story “original” is that it’s yours. No one else can write your story the way you can.
• You have writing weaknesses. Everyone does. But don’t accept your writing weaknesses as unchanging facts about yourself. Don’t be content with being crap at description, dialogue, world building, etc. Writers that are comfortable being crap at things won’t improve, and that’s not you. It’s going to burn, but work that muscle. I promise you’ll like the outcome.
me, begging, tears in my eyes: please. please just tell me what the book is about. the plot. please

Brow furrowed behind thick lenses, worrying at their lower lip absentmindedly, Hange hammered at the keys as if their fingers couldn’t keep up with their thoughts.
They didn’t notice Moblit walking to his desk, balancing a stack of exhibition booklets in his arms.
They slammed back the typewriter carriage before typing the last few words of their review.
“You ok?” he asked with concern.
Hange finally raised their head and leaned back in their chair, stretching their sore arms above them with a sigh.
“Coffee's cold and need to pee,” they mumbled, “but at least I could meet the deadline!”
