Had to dig out what looked like some kind of vase and found a colony of Ants living their best life on the inside, all of them with strong opinions about moving out. Also, another funny finding was that my work gloves apparently had holes, AND that ants bite.
Fantastic experience, 10/10.

"Remember not to bury yourself away." Such a sweet and comforting letter, this teacher really knows how to encourage his students without sounding impersonal like a mandatory get-well-soon card!

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 1d

Mm. Yeah, no, I'm fine, everything is fine.

"Rather, this "jealousy" was more about the distance between himself and Jiang Cheng's past - the environment Jiang Cheng has grown up in, the friends he'd had, alla the people and things that were alien to Gu Fei", ooooh, that's the feeling that you can never put adequately into words

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 1d

I can't wait to see him being able to free himself from all the world's weight even if he's convinced he's not allowed to, I know he's as bright as Jiang Cheng is 🩷

(Sorry for the rant, I apparently love this book the normal amount 😅)

...Gu Fei feels closer to what you feel when you're a bit older and... less idealistic? You can't help but see yourself in his apparent quiet resignation, the way he's so careful with what he says and does because, of course, consequences, while at the same time he has that sparkle quietly hidden..

I feel like Jiang Cheng is the kind of person you see yourself like when you're at that age, when even in the darkest hours life seems so big and bright, and you can reach everything as long as you put your mind to it- that beautiful, almost childish certainty- everything *has* to go the right way..

(by the way, I wish my stupid twitter account wasn't temporarily suspended, because I really miss the experience of reading the same story as dozens of strangers and bonding about our shared emotional rollercoaster, it's like being in a book club with people who actually read the books)

"I really like you, and I'll keep liking you until the day you don't need me to anymore".
Okay. I'm. I'm going home. That's it. I can't keep embarrassing myself on this beach.

"Come down for breakfast, boyfriend"
I screeched SO hard that a pigeon turned to make eye contact, and now I feel so judged that I think I have to leave and go home to have some tea to calm down before another screeching session.

(Sorry, feathery friend, didn't mean to scare you)

How. How can you not love him, he's a comedic genius ✨

The same despairing air, the same gnawing fear that you'll never be able to leave even if you try, and you'll end up being one of those idiots who jump building for stupid reasons before settling for a life of coping mechanisms and disillusionment

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 2d

I don't know if it makes sense put it like that, but that's why I love this book so much, it feels so... universal? in a way- that bleak, suffocating city, with invisible walls all around could easily be the same bleak suffocating place you grew up in...

While Gu Fei looks so detached, so cool, meanwhile his brain is doing a thousand turns and somersaults considering every aspect even when his instinct already gave him the answer he's looking for... He feels so human, so real, he reacts like you'd do in a world that's definitely not ideal

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 2d

I absolutely *adore* Jiang Cheng, he can go from badass to dork to naive to shameless in the span of four sentences- the moment he decides to act he goes for it without pulling any stop... He's exactly the kind of person you'd want to be like in an ideal world

"People around here were passionate about jumping hurdles to resolve their conflicts". Why. Why on earth is this even an option.

(Gu Fei's "sexy ninja suit" and the 90/100 points for his entrance were so unserious, sometimes I forget how actually young these two are 🥹)

It's Saturday! Finally! I can start #Saye without distractions, I can finish the book I started last weekend, 24 blessed hours for reading and recharging what is left of my brain after this week 🌝

This book feels like taking too much cold medicine and going on a paranoid trip- or rather, this feels like the fever dreams COVID gave me the first time I caught it 😵‍💫

Like, are you ill? What makes you think that your death out of the blue would be more merciful to the poor bastard you are hiding you illness from? Why nobody uses words to express feelings/being generally honest with their partner? 😭

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 12d

But that is perfectly balanced with their innate talents and their usually long, long legs and slim waist, not to mention their ability to do basically everything 🥲 this annoys me almost like miscommunication, when characters are being all secretive about serious stuff with no reason at all-

MissMe 🐇 @bunnybellblue.bsky.social · 12d

There are some things that genuinely irk me even in books I like... Like when the author has to point out every three sentences how incredibly handsome and perfect the MC and their love interest are- they can be flawed, of course,they're still human after all-
