While farming candles in Golden Wasteland today, there's a Sky Kid who nearly died and this kid's fading body was located pretty far away from where the candles or lights are but I swear I've never seen a swarm of Sky Children move SO FAST to reach the kid, including me who's only a moth with sloppy maneuvering. Think about you pausing a video game mid-fight to recharge but it's completely the opposite of that: Suddenly there are at least 7 people pulling out med kits to heal you from every direction you can think of (some even land on top of your head but you're too out of it to feel anything anyway)
apwh is kicking me in my nonexistent balls
apparently, i’m built different
i’m only on chapter 17 but i love this book sm.
spoilers under the cut
i love the way Lancali uses personification throughout the book. Not only does it add some awesome imagery, but also because it TIES SO WELL WHEN YOU REALIZE WHO SAM IS AS A CHARACTER!
Sam, who holds no gender or name, comes to people in the form others need them to be. watching in the background as people suffered, people being hit with that feeling that they met before. Sam is a personification of hope.
time, death, and disease are things intangible, but are personified by the characters who defy these notions, taking back a life that was stolen from them.
and i absolutely love how the original Sam, boy Sam, also played around with this personification. in one of the chapters, we see him greeting every inanimate object as if it was alive, greeting the wall, greeting a door, playing pretend. it’s only when he gives narrator Sam a name that brings them to life
so far, this book has been really cool! i love the character interactions, the author’s writing is absolutely beautiful, you can tell there is genuine emotion behind every page and that just makes me more sad
every time i end a chapter my mind is like “oh yeah, that’s a good place to end off.” only to remember THERES STILL MORE😭
this book has me in a chokehold to the point i’m scared to see how it goes, because apparently the characters DIE? (is this what i get for spoiling myself by watching the author’s tiktok’s?)
anyways, thank you for coming to my messy book rant
got so embarrassed walking into a vs i accidentally outed(???) myself
absolutely love this ‘cause in the movies it just perfectly captures how he does not gaf about anything
i distinctly remember there’s a scene in the hospital where akihiko’s being angsty and makoto’s just like “are we done now?”😭
started p3r recently
i love getting my grubby little hands on older copies of books
especially when they’re POCKETSIZED? OR ANNOTATED?? I GET SO FJRJEIEKFH
THERES TOO MANY CUTIES IN THIS WORLD OMG
Save us we die a thousand times every day
Since October 7, 2023, we have endured what mountains could not bear.
Since October 7, we have been suffering from the war and the siege. We have not eaten vegetables, fruits, or meat for a whole year. Save us.
We have been bombed every day since October 7th.
Since October 7th we have lost our dreams
Since October 7, we have been suffering from hunger, thirst and deprivation due to the siege.
Since October 7, we have been suffering from hunger, to the point that we have to eat animal feed.
We suffered from the lack of clean drinking water due to war and pollution. We live in an environment full of diseases
This is a small part of what we have lived and what we live every day
Save us from this brutal and barbaric war.🙏❤️🩹
