#tintenposting

If i had a nickel for every time i had a favorite childhood book written by a german author about a child who loves books more than anything, lives with their dad because their mom died, used books as a form of escape, and ends up actually becoming part of the book through reading it, which leads to a long series of whimsical adventures, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Almost done with tintenblut!! Only 30 pages left to go! Feeling a bit torn because on one hand i am so fucking happy that mo finally killed that bitch basta, and on the other hand i feel like crying over farid and staubfinger's dynamic.

i completely blame tintenherz for my habit of reading out loud to myself when i'm alone. you just never fucking know. i'm not going to let pure scepticism stand in my way is all i'm saying

Sucks supremely that i can't live in an enormous library with a huge garden full of fairies and gnomes and glass-people everywhere. And spend all day reading and writing.

Cornelia funke really went "was anyone else going to make these characters speedrun the entire spectrum of human emotions?" And didn't wait for an answer

No amount of drawings of stick figures in agony can describe what the adventures of meggie tintenherz make me go through emotionally
