wait continuing oopsall this makes me think how much i hate my class this year
it's crawling with popular kids and indifferent kids and annoying ones
i miss my class from last year
so bad
in that class it was ok to be weird
in that class it was ok to be smart
in that class i felt like myself
in that class i didn't constantly have to death glare people
i miss them < / 3
i miss them
i miss them so freaking much sometimes, i feel like i'm going to get swallowed up by the gap in my soul where they should be
Ugh those girls sound so annoying
OK SO MOONCAKES JUST PULLED ME OUT OF THAT BAD MOOD
SO FIRST the artthe art is beautiful
it captures the characters so well
i felt like they were real people
second- the characters <33
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AKLFIWEOSDMKCKLDLIOEOISLLSDF
novaaaa- who uses hearing aids!! yesss representationnn!!! (and it's not just a throwaway line- it's actually a plot point and part of her life/personality).
ok so i love nova
she's so brave and fierce and spirited
but also...
vulnerable
and she's so caring and loves her nanas so much <3 (more on them later)
and a great friend
THEN WE HAVE TAM <333
great nonbinary rep anyone?! they clearly use they/them and correct a character! tam has had to keep everyone they love at a distance; they have a really tough life and whenever they trust someone, everything just goes wrong. i loved their journey from fear and self-hatred to self-confidence, and how nova helps them with that. nova and tam's relationship is so CUTE EfDSfslfjsdl i want moOooOre
and tatyana is just a breath of fresh air. she's snarky and hilarious and skeptical but is there for nova when she needs her. their friendship was so wholesome <3
and the nanas. I LOVE THE NANAS. they're so supportive and cute and just slfdksdlks two witch grandmas running a magical bookshop is just a VIBE
the whole atmosphere was so well done. i read this on a chilly november day in new england, sipping matzah ball soup, and it was so cozy :) the tea, autumn festival stuff, creepy forest, aahhh it was just amazing.
i only wish there was another book :sob:
i feel like trashi hate myself
i'm an idiot
i need to reread mooncakes
but it's late
and i'm tired
and i'm stupid
and i can't do anything right
i need nova and tam <3
ok so i got no sleep last nightyay
and tomorrow's school so i'll go back to getting 5 hours per night bc the weekend's over and now i'll just be more miserable
y a y

on another note i started shadow and boneit's pretty good
and the inside cover map is just *dies in map obsession*
a bit average so far tho
hoping for it to get better
and for alina to get some personality other than being 'tough and skinny and crushing on mal'
but the premise is interesting
wow
i can't tell what you're replying to but i'm going to take it as a compliment so thank you :)
here's the poem:What do you do when you’re part of a monster
and the monster’s
part of you?
All we know is hate,
Always there,
spewing in the air,
billowing like smoke,
hiding shreds of humanity
Morality’s forced to fold
Diverging on meandering paths,
That all end in sheer cliffs,
with nothing
But inky deep misery
below
Darkness stains the last semblance of family
Loving a monster
Is easier
And harder
Than it seems
Simmering secrets of years past,
Boiling rage harbored beneath delicate facades
A single word,
a single look,
a single
wrong
choice
Shatters the precarious silence
Into shards of fury
Screams tear into the trembling threads of love
Tears stream unending,
While razor-edged words are flung like spears
And everyone’s aiming
For the heart,
We stand between,
A battered blockade,
A dying shield
We plead and beg for it all to stop as the world crashes down around us
Please, make it stop
Please, just stop
Please, please, please
We hold each other and quake
As earthquakes shake
our lives apart
Because
what do you do when you’re part of a monster
and that monster’s
part of you?

yayyy sleep deprivation!idk i just feel like i can't go to sleep rn
i have absolutely nothing to do tmrw which will be weird
tw for rant & rude popular girls
////
Ok so we're in gym, right? And we're doing volleyball, which first of all i hate because it hurts my arms and it's stupid and painful and not even fun. But I suck it up and practice bumping and setting and whatever with my friend (we got into pairs to practice).
Then we have to combine with the other pairs on our half of the gym and these two popular girls who think they're so cool (S and J) are part of our volleyball-passing group now. (Ugh.) But I'm nice so I don't roll my eyes or groan when I find out this. But S goes up to Mr. Gym Teacher and says, "Can J and I just be by ourselves?" Because she and J play volleyball but nobody else in that group does.
(Unrelated note, they grabbed a ball and started literally playing volleyball in a corner while everyone was supposed to be warming up the other day. Argh.)
Mr. Gym Teacher says no, you have to stay with everyone else, and tbh i WISH he had let them go by themselves so we could be rid of them.
So we start; we're supposed to try to bump/set the ball so it stays in the air.
The other kids in the group besides me are my 2 friends, L and A, and the new kid who's awkward and always playing video games. L is completely and utterly unathletic and "uncool" bc she wears unicorns/rainbows sort of stuff, skips instead of walks, is oblivious to social hierarchy, and loves school. (I love her, she's my bestie, but the popular girls all roll their eyes at her. I death glare them because yes.) A is relatively athletic, like me, but dislikes volleyball as well.
So obviously, besides S and J, we're not very good. But we're all trying, really trying. And S and J are mostly just passing to each other with the occasional bump toward one of us. Whenever we miss they criticize us, saying you need to call it or try harder or are you paying attention? or just get under it or you need to hit it here or go for it!! and it's so freaking annoying. we're TRYING. we're just not good at volleyball. none of us PLAY volleyball. and maybe from this it sounds like they're being encouraging, but they really don't say it in encouraging ways.
Then they start spiking it, which we haven't learned yet. They spike it to each other, and occasionally to the group. I ask politely if we can please not do spiking because we haven't learned that yet, and we don't know how to receive a spike well, and S goes, well that's not really the point, is it?
S and J continue giving people snide looks and looking at each other like, wow everyone is so terrible amiright?? and whenever anyone hits it not perfectly they're like, oookaaaayyyy... when people miss or are unsure, they go, that's yours! why didn't you get it??!! I DON'T FREAKING PLAY VOLLEYBALL, OKAY?
The thing is, I would accept their guidance because it's their sport. They're good at it. But the problem is, recently we did soccer. That's my and A's sport. WE'RE GOOD AT SOCCER. And J is too, but not better than A and me. And S and J (yes, S, who doesn't even PLAY soccer) were needlessly criticizing A and my playing. S decided to come to the 'competitive' side with A and me, just to be with J, who was also over there, and put ZERO effort in. ZERO, i'm telling you.
s and j in general are so annoying. They always have to be together for EVERYTHING and won't let teachers split them up (one of them just cheats and goes to the other's side). S has this permanent look on her face like everyone else is just so uncool and disgusting. S and J are constantly whispering to each other about some secrets or whatever and laughing, and teachers never tell them to actually pay attention. When I'm in groups with them, they never pay attention and just ask me, 'so what are we doing? i wasnt listening.' i'm TIRED of this.
once, when our teacher was late, s and j started berating my clueless but great friend L about how her mask had a gap. (It didn't.) She went into one of her long-winded, repetitive explanations (she does that sometimes, she just doesn't realize it) and then S just said, "Shut up, okay?" NOT in a friendly way and I swear I hate them so dang much. They're always looking at L and giggling at her cluelessness and yes she is clueless sometimes but THEY don't know how amazing she is, how funny, how smart, how patient and dedicated. THEY don't know how good she is at filmmaking. THEY will never understand how brave it is to wear a rainbow skirt and a pink shirt and purposely mismatched socks.
if you're reading this, S and J, I hate you :))))
