#reading rants

I think (unsurprisingly) my fav ruikasa trope is them working on their feelings through shows/performances. It's like. Just. So beautiful and cool and a great narrative device I don't see very often but it's sooooo good oh my goodness. Them on stage confessing their love for each other and thinking "is this real?" and Tsukasa like "I need to add more confessions in every show only to make him do that face again" and Rui's "I thought it was real but I know you're a good actor" and just AHHHHGGGG FUCK FUCK FUCK THEY'RE SO CUTE OMG I'M GOING TO EXPLODE AAAAAHHHHHHH.

Art is so beautiful 😭😭😭😭

I've finished reading this like 10 minutes ago and I can't stop smiling and agafagfzaahahgahhhh I love them so much.

@hypercatt you're so genius I love your work so much I can't explain w words omg.

Frankenstein and Dracula.

Adaptions never cover the beautiful nuance these books have while staying faithful to the plot, or themes.

Where is the struggle that there is no good guy in Frankenstein, and the Monster’s internal struggles with his existence?

Where is the unique use of manners and letter writing to document the strange occurrences Lucy notes?

Altogether, books that were bought and total:

Sunrise on the Reaping Collector’s Edition

Hunger Games series box set Deluxe Edition with Stenciled Edges (there is definitely a cheaper version, like $10 cheaper, but this is the newest)

Wicked series box set

Total (including tax): $114.97

9 books for less than $13 each!!! A win is a win. (Total is definitely higher because the Collector’s Edition, but I wanted this book REAL BAD.)
