Radio Silence - Blog Posts
I got four A grades. That's the highest you can get at AS level.
I expected to be happy about it. I expected to be jumping up and down and crying from joy.
But I didn't feel any of that. It just wasn't disappointment.
Oh fuck I felt this
For the one millionth time I just finished Radio silence (perfect way to start off pride) and for the millionth time I am crying and for the one millionth time I so badly want the life of Frances and for the one millionth time I have goosebumps.
And every time, I have fallen in love with this story.
I am the person that I am today because when I was 14 i would wake every day before school and put this on the background reading my favorite passages from the book and writing universe city podcast episode of my own
Radio silence it seams like I've been quite taken away from you
ATTENTION RADIO SILENCE ENJOYERS‼️‼️‼️
Universe Friday, this blog inspired by 'Universe City', has now officially been brought to YouTube with the first episode "icarus", recorded by yours truly.
If you have been wishing for more Universe City content, then look no further. Especially the many people who have asked me to record my excerpts! It's here! Come look!
Please check it out! I'm super proud of this, despite how long it took. I will still be answering all asks about this in @friday-answers' ask box!
Thank you! I hope you'll be listening...
EXCERPT #33:
Hello. I hope somebody is listening.

I am doing well, thank you for asking. In fact, I have been searching for a new favourite hiding spot, actually.
The last one ended up being infiltrated by a group of youngsters, and suddenly there were too many people there who could mess with my things.
Hell, once, some teen actually took one of my things! Those menacing kids… The only person I truly trusted in my hideout was Thalia. I don’t think about her much these days.
On another note, I can’t wait to try out this new hiding spot, although it is a big risk, as you never know when them kids could show up. It seems they end up finding all of my good hiding spots! I would hate to have to be an adult and kick them out.
I want to have a good spot for my set-up, one that allows me to talk on this radio to anyone who may be listening, like you, dear listener, directly. Especially so without this bad, busy background noise. I do apologise for my microphone, it seems to have been bugging out recently.
I do miss talking to you, old sport. I am always wishing back the old days. But, instead, I must not dwell on the past. Instead, I need to keep looking towards the future.
People say a lot of things about the future and its memories. That they’re scary… Unknown… Even dangerous. But that mustn’t stop you from dreaming and fulfilling those dreams. They could come true, you know?
You must be true to yourself, old sport. Keep on shining.
And, always, keep on listening.

Did anyone here read radio silence for the first time because of kat from the yt channel paperbackdreams?
I'm frances in the way that when it comes down to it "it's always just me and the countryside, me and the fields and the grey"
"I still don't trust you young people and your... what is it? 'Tumble'?"
"Tumblr, Mum."
"On the first of November (29th of april) , I turned eighteen . I expected to feel different but, of course, I didn't. I don't think age has much to do with adulthood "-radio silence
What I sometimes be putting on my universe city pintrest board.
It's giving universe city if it was a harry Potter house...
Getting my Radio Silence tattoo tomorrow!!!

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.
EVERYTHING IS BETTER UNDER THE STARS
they are gonna hate me for this but...
OSEMANVERSE MOOTS ‼️‼️ may i have your attention!!!!????
my lovely friend is a film student who created their final project inspired by radio silence, creating a film version of a universe city excerpt (well, multiple excerpts cut up into one) with some of their own words.
i think it is AMAZING with this awesome fucking TWIST at the end which is just so so cool
if you would be kind enough to check it out, it's here! on youtube ^_^
thank you :,] hope you enjoy it as much as i do
Re-reading radio silence, is like reliving an old memory, a one that is "yours", a one that YOU own . And we never even get to do that with our "real life" "own" memories, and at this point I'm not even sure why we keep combining the word "real" with the word "life".
just for the record. i'm actually only at university as the creator of universe friday because it gives me inspiration.
i feel the dread and stress with the undertone of wanting to die and go 'guys this is sooooo aled last'
i am actually not here for a degree only for this tumblr blog
recently found an old copy of radio silence !! another book added to my osemanverse collection <3
This is awesome
kinda proud of this ngl
Attention citizens of Universe City!
As by entering Universe City you are no longer a child regardless of your age. Please make sure you leave any childlike joy, trust or the ability to not suppress your emotions at the gates if you haven't already.

I don't think I belon there.
I never actually even Invisioned my self there.But here I am and "there" is actually "here" now.
I don't get it at times, I have been not getting any of it for months now. I don't really know what to do , I just know what I'm feeling, and what I've been avoiding to face.
But this is safe, this is a safe space. If I take off I'm nothing, there's nothing out there in the real world .old sport ..
