This is the only day you can RT this

some sort of love poem

I can’t get over this little girl…..pretending to be long dead while someone digs up her body out of the ground. The jewelry laid out beside her…the hair clips….this is everything

Hi Ik you said that this is a scorpius blog now, but could you rp that post about the museum study nook? I literally can’t find it but it’s eating away at my brain and I have to draw it lol

omg yes!!! i’ve been thinking of sprinkling a few study posts here and there now that the fall semester is in full swing, but in the meantime here’s the link to that post! (took me awhile to find it haha)

if you feel comfortable sharing, i’d love to be tagged if you decide to post your art! i’ve been dragging books to this little nook since i was like five, and now i’m nearly done with college but still use it. it means a lot to me 🥲 thought i’d add a few more pictures to this reply, just for fun (the nook was originally one of the windows that overlooked a courtyard, but once the new dino section was built they decided to keep the window seats)

This always

god every time this 'is it ok for adults to read children's books' discourse comes up i get so frustrated. at one end you have people fervently arguing that children's books are the superior form of literature and that adult books are 'boring' and then at the other end you have people equally fervently arguing that if you pick up a children's book after age 18 your brain will instantly rot or something

what makes something a book for children is partly the content but also largely accessibility to people who are still learning to read (simpler vocabulary, straightforward prose, etc). in terms of quality of writing children's literature runs the exact same spectrum as adult literature.

some children's books are also considered to be classic works of literature; this is not in spite of being written for children but generally because they were written for children. the target audience is an essential part of the medium.

being able to write a well-structured book with well-crafted prose and compelling themes which can be enjoyed and understood by children is a skill in and of itself. reading a book and breaking down the themes, etc, isn't inherently less of an intellectual exercise when it's a work of children's literature.
