Sometimes U Just Gotta Say “okey Dokey” And Just Like.. Rely On Urself.. Take Things As Impersonally

folklore is such a bargain. it’s just what if what if what if what if just over and over and over. what if you had stayed? what if i had given you more of me? what if that was enough? what if i had left sooner? what if i had stayed? what if i hadn’t known? what if i never met you? what if i loved you? what if it all turned out okay?

The goldfinch only becomes more heart breaking in hindsight. You read within the first five pages that no one ever made Theo feel loved like his mother did, and it’s sad because “aw he has no good people in his life who love him” but then you read the book and see Mrs Barbour who loves Theo as one of her own, who slowly gets better, who comes back to life just from being NEAR Theo. And Hobie who teaches him everything he knows, who is always there for him even when Theo turns his back on him, who after everything forgives Theo without a second thought. And of course Boris. Boris who holds him through nightmares, who sings him songs about little kittens, who kisses his own blood off his knuckles. And you realise the tragedy isn’t that nobody loved him, it’s that Theo hated himself too much to see their love.

Full cover spreads I did for Elizabeth Lim's Six Crimson Dawn and Spin the Dawn UK cover. I have a lot of fun and am very glad you guys like it!

I really enjoy the genre of “older literature featuring a really smart but deranged college student who does something really fucked up with his knowledge and has multiple breakdowns over it for the rest of the story.” one because it is entertaining and two it encapsulates the college experience in a way nothing else does.

I mean he’s kinda ugly and freaky looking I’ll admit it but he’s special to me so it’s fine

How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm.
