Okay, Here We Go.

Happy Thunderbirds Day!

      Bookshelf inserts

hey say that you can’t judge a book by its cover. But what if the cover alone can tell you the whole story? Welcome to the world of book nooks where creativity runs wild!

These hand-made creations will draw you into tiny places of wonder: from the hobbit hole to the Blade Runner-inspired apocalyptic alley or Lord of the Rings-themed door replica equipped with motion sensors.

This book nook my mother got on Ebay

A Magical bookshop in your own bookshelf

I made a booknook for a christmas gift, my inspiration was Blade Runner. It’s 11" X 6"

Not only are book nook inserts a fun way to train your creativity muscle, they can also be a solution to making reading great again. A recent study done by Pew Research Center showed that a staggering quarter of American adults don’t read books in any shape or form. The same study suggested that the likelihood of reading was directly linked to wealth and educational level. Add high levels of modern insomnia and full-time employment that leaves many of us drained at the end of the day, and the idea of opening a book seems unappealing, to say the least.

Now imagine yourself walking past a bookshelf full of these mini worlds—the dioramas of an alley. They catch your attention and you cannot help but see what’s inside. The pioneer of the book nook concept is the Japanese artist Monde. Monde introduced his creations to the Design Festa in 2018 and received overwhelming feedback. 178K likes on twitter later, Monde has become an inspiration to the aspiring arts and crafts lovers who join on r/booknooks to share their spectacular ideas.

I love this so much,  thank you!😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Headcanon: Annabeth is gluten-free or even coeliac. All the Athena kids are, in fact.

(Been re-listening to The Lightning Thief musical and this is inspired by the lyric “She’s [Athena] sworn off gluten and she’s sworn off guys” from ‘The Campfire Song’)

I’m just wondering whether the girl who was ‘Rat Owl’ lost a bet.

Thanks Miss Squid! It was a great distraction from work to see this guy pop up on my dash!

A slightly belated SOS Space Carrot incoming for @mae-the-4th. Duck and cover! ❤️

REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

I relate to this on so many levels. Like, the myths that we talk of today literally just started off as stories people told one another, whether for fun, or to give meaning to something, or for some other reason. What we know today is probably very different to the original story because it’s been twisted and mistaken so many times. And that just makes you wonder what stories in our day might get the same treatment? Will the classics like Black Beauty or Charlotte’s Web become more than a story perhaps thousands of years in the future? Will some person from another world come to Earth long after humans are gone to find these stories and think that these pieces of literature are exactly what our lives were like? The possibilities are really endless!

Just… obsessed with myths as a concept. Like we humans came up with stories that we loved so much that we kept telling them to each other for through ages. They are like a gift from our long gone ancenstors. And they come from a time so far away, but we keep them alive because somehow, the love and hate, the hope and fear, the triumph and despair in them is still our own.

i am almost 19, i live in the united states, and i can not emphasize how much i wish there was a ‘highschool 2′ 

i dont want to go to college just yet but i still want to learn things. and going to college wouldnt fix my yearn to learn, because truly i dont think i’d be learning in the way i’m talking about. 

because, at least all the colleges i’m familiar with and stuff, you go to college to learn how to apply knowledge for a career. you major in a field that can be applied to a job. but i dont want to learn that. 

i want to have a highschool 2 where i can chose the subjects. i can choose history or english or geography and instead of focusing on necessities like math or english, i get to focus on the subjects i like. 

i take a semester long course in history not for a job, but because i want to learn more about a country’s history or the world’s history or history about a certain era. 

i take a semester long course in biology, not because i want to go into a field to study it scientifically or medically, but because i just want to know how things work simply because it’s cool. 

i don’t want to go to school to take tests and exams and finals just to pass with something that would help me in a job. and like, i get that’s what college is for. but i really wish there was something like, as i called it, highschool too. 

where you can sit in classes like you do in highschool and just learn shit, except you get to chose what classes you want to take. 

i would love to learn about astronomy, herbology, human & animal biology, history, geology, literature, etc etc without it having the catch of ‘you will use this information to get a job or to teach other people this information’. 

i just want to know to know, and i try really hard to learn stuff by just researching fun topics because i like doing that! but i learned things so much better when i was being taught by people who were passionate about a subject. 

i would pay to go to a college-esk place where you can just learn to learn without being pressured into taking tests and exams and using what you learn to get a job. 

i plan to go to college eventually, either when i’m more financially stable to do so or when i move to a place where it’s not a lifetime loan level cost to do 4 years of school. i want to do something job wise with art of course but. 

i would still love to just, learn other things, simply because i can, and i love doing it, and i genuinely feel like that is something that just isn’t available or a thing anymore. when you go to school after highschool it’s expected to be used for a job. major in something you want to do for the rest of your life. 

but i want to learn about planets and the earth and history from all over the world and literature from all over the world and i’d like to learn various sciences and i’d like to learn how to do things like sewing or cooking or how to take care of animals or plants or basic medical stuff or just know about the human body because its cool or how evolution in animals and plants work. i just want to know things to know them but simply reading wikipedia articles and looking at various articles isn’t enough. i miss highschool because i miss learning in that setting and i wish it was an option to continue doing without the expectation to get a job. 

I can only imagine the looks he’d get out in public, especially as he gets older. He’s got scars, that streak of grey hair, he’s constantly on alert with his hand in his pocket like he’s about to draw a gun. People probably steer clear of him all the time, because ‘that guy’s trouble, he was wanted by the police when he was 12′.

I love our skater boy Percy. He probably wears black hoodies and refuses to make eye contact with anyone when he goes to the store to grab something for his mom. What a man
