It’s 2 am and I’m bawling bc I just finished The Song of Achilles. I thought I was prepared. I knew what was going to happen.
…I was not prepared.
This hurts me literally every fucking time I read this smh:
Sometimes I forget literally how much Nico has suffered, like he was in a jar with NO FOOD OR OXYGEN for FIVE FUCKING DAYS
Excuse me, I need to shed some tears.
don't ask me why i'm obsessed with ancient greece & rome when we both know it's because i'm gay
Happens wayyy more than it should
Girls don’t want boyfriends. Girls want bookshelves with sliding ladders.
for the love of god please start downloading your fanfics. People keep complaining that there isn’t an app for Ao3 YOU DON’T NEED AN APP. Here’s what you do:
go to Ao3 and find the fic you want to read
click (or tap) entire work at the top of the screen
click download. a list of options will come up.
I recommend epub if you’re on an iphone. if you’re not, i recommend downloading the kindle app (for free!) and choosing the pdf option. (you don’t need the kindle app, but you can convert the pdf to kindle format for easier reading! if you don’t want to download the app, you can still read it under the “files” app.
it now splits into phone or computer.
FOR IPHONE (i don’t have an android so idk how it works there i’m sorry)
FOR EPUB: click the “open in” button at the bottom of the screen. it will show a list of options. “books” is what you want to tap. if it’s not there, scroll to the right and click “more,” then tap “books.”
FOR PDF: same thing, click “open in,” then “kindle” or “files.”
WAIT. you HAVE to wait until the fic opens in your app (ie you see the the actual words of the story) to close the app, otherwise IT WILL NOT SAVE TO YOUR PHONE.
FOR COMPUTER:
click the download at the bottom of the window.
WAIT until the book fully opens for you to close out of the app. if you close too early, it will not save.
that’s it! If you have any questions lmk, but otherwise happy fic reading!
finishing a good book is always bittersweet; you're so excited to get to end, to find out what happens, to get closure, but at the same time, you're losing something that feels like a part of you. something that has occupied your life for days, maybe weeks on end, something that has caused your heart to swell and break. you no longer have that comfort, but part of the story will always affect you, find its way deep into your soul, your everyday life.
