i couldn’t think of anything creative for the background but oh well!!! here she is!!! the queen herself!!!!

there are so many good episodes of The Magic Schoolbus but the one I remember most vividly is the one where the class competes in a Smell Contest, which is a contest to create smells, which is a thing I desperately wanted to be real

anyway their smell gets sabotaged so they have to shrink really tiny and fly into the judge’s nose to shoot down the stink molecules

good fucking shit

- your alarm rings but you are too tired. you set an alarm for five minutes later and go back to sleep. when you wake again, it is light outside and the alarm never went off. it was set for five hours later. you could have sworn you set it to five minutes later.

- your clothes are organized in piles on the bedroom floor. occasionally a shirt moves from one pile to another. you do not remember moving it.

- your desk at work is organized but not. “i have a system” you tell yourself. you are worried someone will discover the truth. you must not let others know you are struggling. your desk at work is organized but not.

- you did not take your meds. your brain is static. you did take your meds. your brain is accelerated static. last week your meds worked well. are they working well today? did you remember to take them? did you even refill your prescription last month?

- your assignment is due in november. it is september. your assignment is not due soon. it is end of october, but your assignment is not due until november. it is november 15th. where is your assignment? you go to bed, it is now november 27th. why do you turn in work late?

- you go to work to make money. you know you make money because you are told you do. your bank account doesn’t change much. you spend more because you are told you make money. you haven’t looked at your bank account for a few weeks now. it makes you anxious.

- there was something you were supposed to do. you didn’t do it, and you disappointed someone. you do not know who. it will come to you eventually, perhaps.

- you trip over a half-knit scarf. one of the needles is missing. you tried to learn knitting a year ago and forgot about the scarf. how long has this been on the floor? where is the other needle? you do not remember how to knit.

- you find yourself growing bored and unconsciousness slips into your periphery. you throw yourself into your work. if you are busy you will not sleep. if you are bored you will sleep. fight the sleep as long as you can. you cannot sleep at night.

- you do not eat and you eat too much. 

- your friends ask why you do not reply to their messages. it is overwhelming and you are so tired. you send too many messages at once and are filled with guilt. your friends keep texting you and you do not know why.

- your eyes blur when you read. you skim the words and do not retain. you skimmed this post and did not retain. you do not remember what the first bullet on this post was. you might not have read this last bullet, either. you will still tag the post as though you read it. you understand its essence, and that is okay.

General Acotar Theories

Tarquin was the name of the final Roman king before it became a democracy and then a dictatorship.  However this may explain why the summer court was given the Fae half of the Book of Breathings and the last High King of Prythian may have been a predecessor of the Summer Court ruling family. IDK it might be important we shall see.  Because Helion is derived from the titan Helios, the original driver of the sun, and Helion is High Lord of the Day Court.  Though Sarah could have just been searching for olden names so who knows?

“this character did a problematic thing-” its a story helen, commonly including things like conflict and drama

Peter and Lara Jean in To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020)

So I decided to make my own ACOTAR fancast because I've been seeing a lot of them lately, and I just can't understand why some people are casting white men as the bat boys. I've been seeing people casting Matthew Daddario and Tom Ellis as Azriel or Rhys and Henry Cavill as Cassian and I'm like???? The fancasts for Mor and Amren bother me a little, too, because they're usually pale. Amren is clearly described as having tan/brown skin, and although Mor is blonde, she also is described as having golden brown skin. Newsflash, people of color can be naturally blonde. If you want proof, look at Sofia Vergara.

However, I can understand why people might fancast Mor as a white woman because I know we don't often see blonde women of color, and when we hear that someone is blonde, we tend to just assume they are white as most blondes are white. But for me, there's no excuse for making Amren pale or have white skin. There are plenty of darker skinned East Asians out there, whose complexion unfortunately makes them targets of ridicule because of colorism in Asia. I understand that people aren't doing this with harmful intentions, but I just wanted to point this out because it is problematic. It is especially frustrating to me as a person of color to see white people being cast as my fellow POCs, so I made my own fancast. I hope you guys enjoy!

Akash Kumar as Rhys & Lauren de Graaf as Feyre

Vito Basso as Cassian & Yulia Rose as Nesta

Marlon Teixeira as Azriel & Bridget Satterlee as Elain (The prettiest couple in Prythian✨)

Zeline Prabowo as Amren & Sierra Skye as Morrigan

Rania Benchegra as Emerie & Madeline Ford as Gwyn (My babies 🥺)

I hope you guys enjoyed my fancast! And please for the love of god stop casting white men as the bat boys. Please. It literally shaves 10 years off my lifespan whenever I see it.
