✨ tweety ✨ > Recent Status Updates

daylight saving time tonight. I don't want to bc I like having more light (when it gets darker earlier I get more depressed than usual) but can't fast forward to spring can't we

Brandon knows how to write realistic interactions but he also confuses you because sometimes they would talk about stuff that it's in the lore of this world that I completely forgot about and it's hard to follow. Wayne's pov is also hard to follow on purpose bc it mirrors how apparently all over the place he may seem ... But there's method in his madness

I've read a lot but I still don't know if this book is lifting my mood or making it worse

I've just finished revising the kellila fic for lila's bday and I'm commanding you all [affectionately] to read it when I post it tomorrow

Alice doesn't understand that her mom loves her very much and just wants her to be happy. Maybe they'll talk about it someday

Idk if I'm on the right path but I have a clue on what may be revealed later... we'll see if I'm right
some things that have happened made me a bit emotional because of the thoughts I had last night but we go on reading

not convinced about the inclusion of 'the story' chapters (I think the author wanted to show not tell) but I really like hayden ok

goodreads app isn't updating properly and I can't see updates (not even mine) so if u see this post it's bc I wrote it from the web app

I understand Hayden bc I also dont do such things. and I envy those people who can make friends with anyone and are instantly liked bc they have an 'aura'. I think my vibes are often off putting bc I tend to keep people at arm's length but maybe I'm wrong and I have an aura too, people are just intimidated by me and I just can't see it

I know there was a problem on gr and other sites today but I thought it was fixed. I can see more updates on web but on my phone it stuck to several hours ago and there are gaps in between that I can see from web

"how many times did u get the booth corner, Hayden?"
"It's the most protected seat. You have a view of every entrance and exit"
What did I tell you? He's Holland
this convo reminded me of that scene in acol when Holland and lila count the people in the tavern

Hayden is like Holland Vosijk if he were a journalist

last week I finished a story about mary anning and now I discover that apparently, jane austen's father met mary's father richard who sold fossils to tourists in lyme regis and that she probably set some chapters of persuasion there bc it became more famous after mary's discoveries

I finally found the halloween themed chocolate and a lot of new biscuits to try. my cupboard looks like the biscuit factory. I just hope the choc won't melt bc today it was warm (around 20°C) again. according to a survey, my city is nu. 2 for best weather in the country. perfect if u like sunny mostly all year and mild weather. not perfect for chocolate yet tho

this book is making me think of howards end by em Forster a lot since the house and home and different classes and interactions between them are a focal point

no idea if I can finish this today. I'm still deciding whether fanny will have a change of heart or not, but I think she won't. though the other person involved still doesn't care about her the way she does

unbelievable that when the staff is around, aunt bitch treats fanny as if she were lower status than them and keeps on demeaning her spirits. glad than other than Edmund, sir Thomas also speaks to/of fanny with respect

the uncle is back so... e' fernut 'a zezzenella (they can't play at theater anymore oops)

there was this kid in the class who kept telling me 'you can't be english, your name is concetta' (the kids don't know where I am from) and ugh I wish they'd written either tweety or titti on my badge because I hate my birth name so much. I literally forget that's my name, won't answer to it

aunt norris should be hunted in the woods by the youngsters for sport

downton abbey mentioned huh yes ofc they could've checked if some expressions were anachronistic (considering how julian fellowes is known for accuracy in the portrayal of society etc in his period dramas) but I think that unless one is a linguist, people won't notice. so I am all for some poetic license here

this curiosity about the pronunciation of 'shakespeare' reminded me that one of my italian profs in hs (who didn't know eng) used to call him [shespir] whereas my english prof used to mimick the words 'shake' and then 'spear' so that we would learn new words lol for whats worth I pronounce it [shekspir] so more AmE than BrE

Miss Crawford seems fake. She manipulates people thanks to her beauty but is she witty? No, she's very opinionated and looks down upon the Bertrams bc they live in the countryside while she's a big city woman

You see fanny has no agency at all by the way Austen mostly used indirect speech to relay what she said and rarely makes her speak directly. The only times she speaks directly is with Edmund who again is the only one who sees her and is enraged for how his family and friends treat her and use her as a servant. I hope she can have her revenge

these people who think fanny is stupid just bc she grew up poor and couldn't have access to the kind of education they can, should just explode. only edmund seems to have an ounce of empathy and understanding toward fanny's situation. the girl is homesick. she might've been poor but she was happy in her poor house with her poor family! these things some people don't understand

my sis bought me a box of shortbread skull shaped cookies covered in milk chocolate on one side. next time I hope I'll find the pumpkin and halloween themed pralines as well

they are exploring a cave and it reminded me I want to write smth set in a cenote. the neighborhood where I live also translates to 'outside of the cave' bc there's a cave built in ancient romans time so that they could cross from here to the harbor without having to cross the hill that separates me from the sea. genius
