beautiful ask ty!!!

in no particular order:

Beyond Black, Hilary Mantel - what if ghosts are real and they won't stop fucking talking and they are actually making your job as a medium more complicated, bc it would be much nicer and more straightforward to just fake it. really really good on how having a body can sometimes feel like a prison but also the alternative (being a ghost) is worse

The Faerie Queene, Edmund Spenser - unfinished, messy, sprawling, in rhyme, deliberately archaic in its language even when it was written and it was written four centuries ago, this one has everything: cross-dressing, courtly love, satyrs fucking your wife, and the best depiction of depression ive ever encountered in art

The Golden Bowl, Henry James - the way james writes makes me actually delirious. i want to go door-to-door about it but instead i am doing the next-best thing (blogging). he sees social dynamics in shrimp colours and SOMEHOW he makes you the reader able to see it all too! god!

A Pagan Place, Edna O'Brien - ugly, lovely, will make u think, gorgeous prose. made me into a 2nd person pov enjoyer. only in the right hands though let's not go wild. like probably there should be a licensing exam

hope you're having a good day <3

me reading this ask, mind totally blank: ive never read a fic before in my LIFE.

ok no let's lock in. some of my all-time favourite fics are in wrestling rpf fandom, even though i've never watched any wrestling. this is the sort of thing that happens when you follow authors you like into their bookmarks and all the way across town. ive read these a bunch and love them:

When you know why you're happy by longnationalnightmare - tfw you accidentally start dating bro, but you're not actually gay, so obviously you need to break up, but the sex is really good and also you love spending time with him--

Get Yourself Over and Over and Over by Annakovsky - world's only timeloop

Have One on Me, Joanna Newsom - she keeps this off spotify to hurt me particularly

Hail to the Thief, Radiohead - a perfect album

Rank, The Smiths - is listening to the smiths "cool"? no. BUT, is it "morally justifiable in light of morrissey's fascism"? also no. but is it--

If You're Feeling Sinister, Belle & Sebastian - oldie but a goodie

i love snacks!!!! it was challenging to narrow this down.

apple with cheddar cheese. in a tier of its own. godlike

spicy olives (any olives really but especially spicy ones)

almonds + raisins + chocolate chips

crusty bread and butter

the just-add-water protein pudding lidl used to sell and then DISCONTINUED in a direct and personal attack on me

oh a fun one, ty

broccoli cooked from frozen

instant coffee

lee child's jack reacher books
