An Obsessive Life

@an-obsessive-life / an-obsessive-life.tumblr.com

(See my other blog an-obsessive-reader for reading and studying posts.) My obsessions/loves in no particular order: tea, theatre, books/reading, Critical Role, One Piece, Teen Wolf, Doctor Who, Percy Jackson, Star Trek, OUAT, the Avengers, the Mortal Instruments, The Hobbit & LOTR, Game of Thrones, and Rise of the Guardians. Also pretty pictures, just because. I'm also into rock climbing, hiking, and swimming so those might be featured as well.

When you go, your footprints will fill with grass. Moss shall cover your tombstone, and as the sun rises, green shall spread over all, in all its shades and hues. This verdigris will overtake your swords and your coins and your battlements and, try as you might, all you hold dear will succumb to it. Your skin, your bones. Your virtue - The Green Knight 2021

unfortunately no eclipse photography can ever outdo the waffle house one from 2017

i don't even know who took this pic. the only person who claims to know the photographer was this person who uploaded it to reddit without naming them. it just adds to the mystery of it

I know this photo!

This is a picture Nick Martino took outside a waffle house in Tennessee in 2017. It's still up on his Instagram page.

thanks for tracking down the source! i wonder if he knows how influential his picture was

it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)

when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like

everyone does want to talk about how fans of [thing] are the worst on tumblr or twitter or tiktok specifically and it’s like Well your first mistake is interacting with people en masse in regard to something you enjoy/care about. you gotta leave that shit with like a handful of trusted guys lest you get jumpscared every five seconds and/or develop blood pressure problems

“this fandom is a fucking nightmare” don’t go in there man. No one is making you stay in there. you can be free from this

Morning shower bc I refuse to go to bed with wet hair also it wakes me up and gets me going.

It really depends on what I'm doing?? Like if I have a bunch of stinky work to do or it's Davos' bath day, I don't shower until the afternoon. I don't like to go to bed feeling scrungy tho.

I do both depending on circumstances BUT my preference is morning shower because sleeping with wet hair makes me look like Paul McGann in the morning
