secret revelations of the olivish being (which is ME)|| remember that one time 8737636 years back when i asked you for questions?? well, i return to provide answers AND ALSO MORE CHOCOLATES (plus some secrets) || part 1

remember that one time we talked about living in fantasy worlds and chasing dragons and finally accomplishing our life-long dreams of world domination?

and then we celebrated the 100 fantasy-like followers with chocolates and promises of secrets. wherein i demanded questions and you all provided, like the good little olives that you are.

after that i proved my loyalty to the olive race by never providing those aforementioned secrets (it was the exams, people, BLAME THE EXAMS) and silently disappearing for a bit (i was drowning under books okay??). however, i have returned with all the secrets in tow (AREN’T YOU PROUD), so everybody SCREAM!!

also apparently you guys are nosy little beans (DON’T WORRY, I STILL LOVE YOU) and thus dumped me with a ton of question (BUT ALSO, i really appreciate it!! because i need all the loyalty from you, the olives, obviously) so its not exactly my fault if this post is L O N G, okay?? no, i don’t mean the usual oops-i-am-obsessed-with-words-and-wrote-2000-words-of-nonsense. It’s more like oh-my-gosh-i-am-in-love-with-words-and-wish-to-drown-under-them-for-the-rest-of-ever kind.

see. maybe i wrote a mini novella okay?? maybe this post is 4,000 words long.

I SAID MAYBE!!!

*also, all the AMAZING OLIVES who typed out all the questions have been linked back in the image above each question, SO CLICK THE LINKS PEOPLE*

…no. at least not that i know of. of course, they could be simultaneously living a secret life where the olives rule the skies and the people fight alongside dragons and have been known to devour entire libraries in a single lifetime, but i wouldn’t know. because ‘secrets’, remember?? but also. how could someone resist screeching over dragons and kaz brekker and gorgeous writing and ketterdam, when i am RIGHT HERE, gushing over it?? I WOULD KNOW. not-screaming requires great amounts of effort and self-control sometimes. I WOULD KNOW, OKAY?? especially after the insane amounts of effort i put into not doing aforementioned screaming each day. I AM EXPERIENCED LIKE THAT.

possibly the one where you get killed 5 seconds after arriving.
which is maybe every single fantasy world of ever. because, like, monsters are powerful, all right?? they have sharp teeth and torturing people is their life-long dream and biggest purpose in life (WHICH IS WHAT THE LACK OF WORDS IN YOUR LIFE DOES TO YOU. maybe we need to teach the monsters how to read). plus, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW SWORD FIGHTING IF YOU GET DUMPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT, WITH AN ENTIRE CIRCLE OF MINOTAURS SURROUNDING YOU?? you must befriend them, THAT IS KEY.

yes, so maybe consider befriending the bad people and you might survive. or you could also befriend percy and steal the sword and bring it to me and i might agree to help protect you. MIGHT. i have other much more important things to do obviously (LIKE RANSACKING ALL THE LIBRARIES OF THE WHOLE WORLD) but maybe get a few olives too and i might consider it.

shhh, don’t rebel!! i shall answer the question! PATIENCE, PEOPLE. but okay, you probably wouldn’t want to stumble upon the nikara empire in your dream-like fantasies, because that shall only end in blood and war and carnage. and you might have to say goodbye to all the humans.

HA! NO. was i not clear all the many, MANY times when i declared my title as QUEEN OF THE OLIVES?? i rule the world!! the books bow to me, and so do the undeserving mortals. they’re the weird ones for not dreaming sweet dreams of LIVING IN KETTERDAM. HOW DO PEOPLE EVEN LIVE LIKE THAT??? the world is ridiculous sometimes.

but also…. yes. SOMETIMES. me obsessing over going to camp half blood when the rest of civilization was worried about tests?? me bawling when hagrid never came to the door on my eleventh birthday?? I HAVE VAGUE MEMORIES.

plus, missing out on all the (supossed) fun and instead spending time running around libraries wasn’t exactly considered the best by most people. BUT SHHHH WHO CARES, AM I RIGHT??

i have ketterdam now and i shall one day rule the world. life is nice like that.

HA. how naive of you to assume i am human enough to actually cry? over BOOKS?? was i not clear the 78363872 times i mentioned how i am a soulless being with a black heart carved of the darkest stone, which is filled with poison and darkness and all things black?? i am evil and i am also queen and i dream of destroying the world sometimes and i kill without mercy and – OKAY SEE, BOOKS MAKE ME SOB SOMETIMES.

they’re rude like that. but i like to think i’m better than the tears and thus shall create a list for infliction of further torture UPON WHOEVER WAS BOLD ENOUGH TO ASK THIS EVIL QUESTION. (IT WAS MAYA, BY THE WAY)

• we are okay by nina lacour – it’s normal and COMPLETELY ALRIGHT for people to bawl over words at 2 in the night okay?? especially when books like this one exist. it was evil and it slightly destroyed me. then i cried.
• the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid – rollercoasters make people cry sometimes. especially when said rollercoaster comes in the form of gorgeous masterpieces such as this book. it’s basically words and stories and THE UNIVERSE woven into pieces of perfection.
• the boy who steals houses by c.g. drews – i was in india and it was midnight and the world was alseep and i was sobbing. THE ENDING WAS TORTUROUS OKAY?? sammy is my smol little bean AND HE IS AMAZING AND DESERVES THE WORLD. WHY WILL PEOPLE NOT GIVE IT TO HIM??

charlotte’s web!! it was perhaps the first ever novel i read and FELL IN LOVE WITH. and then re-read so many times i practically knew it by-heart. plus, I WAS OBSESSED WITH SPIDERS AFTER THAT?? and i once adopted a pet spider and named it charlotte but then it didn’t write any W O R D S on its web the next morning, which was disappointing and i cried.

aforementioned book is also the sole reason i dream of one day adopting a pet pig named wilbur. maybe we would gush over six of crows together and befriend charlotte and live on an olive farm and survive off of olives. and occasionally go out to roam the bookstores and buy more chocolates but spend the rest of our days reading and screaming and writing and dreaming. ALL THE FUN STUFF.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘, 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗-𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗥?

this one time i read a book and wanted magic powers. i imagined ants living in the wall above my bed. and they’d come out at night and steal my brain.

they didn’t though. ants are disappointing like that.

so obviously, to cure the disappointment, i bought myself a library with millions of books and swore to spend the rest of my life there.

it didn’t work.

the world is rude sometimes.

that’s when i decided to take my revenge and spend the rest of my life obsessing over book characters instead. it’s been really nice actually.

going to ravka and adopting kaz brekker is a smol dream of mine. he’s also aforementioned favorite, most-fleshed out main character AND GENIUS, BASICALLY?? but i also love inej and choosing is torturous like that.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦?

HA. HAHAHAHAHAHA – i can currently come up with enough favorites to FILL UP AN ENTIRE POST?? and would also gladly do that BECAUSE SCREAMING ABOUT FAVORITES IS FUN, but also… limited word space is a HUGE problem sometimes. like right now. and throughout this ridiculously long post actually. WHY MUST YOU COUNT WORDS ALL THE TIME?? CAN I NOT SCREAM AS MUCH AS I LIKE?? #rude

but anyway. the tropes:

• characters that are amazing little beans and are ridiculously hilarious and thus have THE BEST NARRATION OF EVER and i immediately wish to befriend. someone write more books with this please?? BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST ABSOLUTE BEST OF EVER AND I FALL IN LOVE WITH IT.
• people who talk too much and their dialogue is quite often ridiculous (BUT THE GOOD KIND) and also the softest people who offer you samosas and explain the story behind them. look. kavi officially got me obsessed with samosas okay?? HE DESERVES TOO MUCH LOVE.
• amazing magic systems with all the dark dark dark stuff and lots of stabbing but also magic and the magic being dangerous and daaaaark. magic is too much FUN and must be allowed to rule the world. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW THIS ALREADY.

HA. you don’t get to ask me this, okay?? I MIGHT COMBUST FROM INDECISION AND YOU WOULDN’T GET TO EAT OLIVES ANYMORE. but also. i have an answer, because i am amazing like that AND GET TO PROVE MY LOYALTY TO THE CROWS. it’s six of crows, by the way, for any potato-headed olives amongst you WHO WERE STILL WONDERING WHAT THE HELL WE ARE GOING ON ABOUT. the sole book that occupies my entire life. (shhhh, i still love you, raven cycle) and also the key to converting the entire population of the world into hardcore fantasy fans?? #YES. people shall fall in love with it and name everyone kaz brekker and scientists might create ravka someday. maybe we’d even GET TO HOLD FIRE IN OUR HANDS AND BE NINA AND KILL PEOPLE BY FOLDING OUR FINGERS AND EAT ALL THE WAFFLES OF EVER.

i shall name 76346534365 for the sole purpose of being rebellious THANK YOU! and also helping said tbr in murder plans because i am evil like that. PLUS MURDER IS FUN OKAY?? YOU GET TO CACKLE EVILLY WHILE CREATING PLANS WHICH IS FUN. the world must cackle more often.

• jacob and Emma (from miss peregrine) for the simple reason that THEY ANNOY ME TO A FREAKISHLY EXTREME LEVEL. jacob keeps whining about having TOO MUCH MONEY (RIDICULOUSNESS) and emma is a disgrace to all the amazing badass characters of EVER. plus they’d both lose in a duel SO KILLING THEM WOULD BE EASY, WHILE ALSO MAKING ME LOOK BRILLIANT AT SWORD-FIGHTING.
• (#genius)
• mr. collins from pride and prejudice. see, his murder would be COMPLETELY ACCIDENTAL. he talks too much and 981265154% of it is nonsense infused with even larger levels of mundaneness and not even the INTERESTING kind of nonsense, so it’s not exactly my fault if i end up going insane and drop the knife. accidentally.
• the lass (from sun and moon, ice and snow) because of MANY REASONS, such as: 1) WHO THE HELL NAMES THEIR KID ‘THE LASS’????? 2) she lacks all semblances of personality + is insanely dumb to an umimaginable extent 3) ALSO SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY THE END OF THE BOOK, BUT SOMEHOW ISN’T?? (#UNFAIR) 4) DID I MENTION I HATE HER? 5) also SHE NEEDS A BETTER NAME, PEOPLE
• romeo and juliet BECAUSE THE ENTIRE IDEA IS RIDICULOUS. like, we go through 378363256235 words of life-threatening english JUST TO SEE THEM KILL THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY’RE STUPID AND THINK THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS DEAD?? WHY NOT CONSIDER CHECKING PROPERLY OR SOMETHING FIRST?? also did i mention the writing is freakishly HARD?? people need to be saved from the torture SO WHY NOT JUST MURDER THEM IN THE BEGINNING, RIGHT??

SO!! MANY!! i could literally keep reading villain origin stories for the rest of my life AND BE GLAD. but lists:

• rumpelstiltskin – a smol man with a ridiculous name jumping around fires singing songs about aforementioned amazing name because he’s so sure no one’s going to guess it. but then he gets angry and falls through the floor when someone guesses it. what if he lands in like a land of evil and swears to come back to haunt the world?? plus. i am slightly desperate for the story behind the name too BECAUSE I’M OBSESSED??
• the cheshire cat – it still counts ok?? he may not exactly be the villain BUT THERE’S HUGE POTENTIAL. like him being able to transform into an evil magician in the dead of night when the rest of the world is asleep and working on stealing the moon because it’s nice like that. PLUS THINK OF ALL THE SECRETS HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO COLLECT AS A CAT. he could literally destroy the world and steal all the cakes and eat people’s brains AND NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW. fun stuff.

the seven husbands of everlyn hugo. EVERYONE SAYING THE BOOK IS PERFECTION?? THEY’RE WRONG. it’s kind of like the best thing on the planet multipled by 87216721 and wrapped in gorgeousness with FREAKISHLY AMAZING abilities of aforementioned soul cutting and supernova creation. maybe it’s secretly a thief and steals people’s souls and lives off of them.

i’m glad you think so highly of me to actually assume i would even say anything. I LIKE THIS. but look. you’ve got it all wrong. i would probably die of immense levels of excitement combined with nerves and the inability to form coherent thoughts. MY MOUTH STOPS WORKING LIKE THAT SOMETIMES.

FANTASY. FANTASY IS MY LIFE AND DISCOVERING MAGIC IS MY BIGGEST DREAM OF EVER AND I WISH TO FLY SOMEDAY AND YOU NEED MAGIC FOR THAT.

i keep my life from crumbling by devouring all the fantasy of ever. it’s seriously helpful for all of my future dreams too (BECAUSE EXPERIENCE, SEE??) and also a lot of fun. i secretly wish to rule the world someday SO IT’S REALLY NICE FOR THAT TOO, RIGHT?? no one can ever say fantasy is useless anymore HA!

i could recommend SO MANY fantasy books, the sheer length of the list would be ridiculous and might give someone a heart attack. i’m nice though, and don’t do the heart attack part too often so we can just go with a book (or, like, two?) i haven’t mentioned for any of the other questions in the post. BECAUSE REPETITION IS ANNOYING.

• strange the dreamer – the writing is GORGEOUSNESS AND YOU SHALL FALL IN LOVE WITH IT. plus lazlo is the most precious little bean to ever grace the planet and has a broken nose because he walked into a bookshelf while reading and a book of fairytales fell on said nose. BEST NOSE BACKSTORY OF EVER OKAY??

• city of shattered light – technically this is sci-fi but SHHH. REBELLIOUSNESS, AM I RIGHT?? it features a bi-sexual love triangle and an heiress on the run from her evil dad, who accidentally befriends riven (gun smuggler and the most amazing badass queen of ever) and they travel through requiem where the a day lasts for 9848734437 hours (i don’t remember the exact number?) with VERY HIGH STAKES AND BUCKETLOADS OF EVILNESS. they kind of have a thing for trouble.

• the book thief – DON’T BRING IN THE SWORDS YET. i devoured a 500 page book in a day okay?? SO OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN SEE I WAS HOPELESSLY OBSESSED. the idea of death being a narrator was FREAKISHLY EXCITING AND I GET EXCITED LIKE THAT SOMETIMES. plus the end was tragic and i LOVE TRAGIC ENDINGS but i… didn’t shed a tear?? i thought something was wrong with me for a long time BUT THEN I REALIZED I CRY OVER MUCH LESS SAD BOOKS THAN THAT, so obviously the real problem was me not liking the book enough (SHHHH the alternative is worse) I STILL LOVE ROSA HUBBERMAN THOUGH. SHE IS MY IDOL AND I WORSHIP HER.
• miss peregrine’s home for peculiar children – i’ve been screaming too much about this recently, so maybe just go read that. basically the characters are idiots and everything sucks.
• cinder – passionately hating cinder was kind of the biggest part of my personality last year. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS SO… ORDINARY?? AND WHY DOES NO ONE WEAR MASKS?? OR LIKE, QUARANTINE OR WHATEVER??? WHAT’S WITH ALL THE DUMBNESS, PEOPLES
• the hunger games – the characters are all so flat and i kind of hated it all?? PLUS PEETA IS TERRIBLE AND I REALLY REALLY WISH TO KILL HIM. he annoys me, ok?? PEOPLE SHOULDN’T DO THAT. although i am obsessed with the mockingbirds and wish to adopt them someday. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE WE CAN GET MOCKINGBIRDS FOR KIDNAPPING PURPOSES??
• the false prince – people scream about this AND I GOT EXCITED OKAY?? but then i read it and the pages ended and THE STORY WAS SO DULL?? i saw that plot twist from a mile away (I’M HIGHLY PROUD OF THE FACT) AND I HATE SAGE. and also everyone else.
• caraval – annoying, personality-lacking protagonists whose greatest aim in life is to ‘save-my-sister-whom-i-love-greater-than-life’ DON’T SIT WELL WITH ME.

• the lesbiana’s guide to catholic school – okay. i shall admit it. THIS BOOK IS MAINLY ON HERE JUST SO I CAN SCREAM ABOUT IT A LITTLE. it’s my new favorite and i never got around to drafting a may wrap up AND THEREFORE DIDN’T GET ALL THE SCREAMING OPPORTUNITIES. but people need to read this.

• wilder girls – the cover was delicious and fascinating and also a little horrifying. I COULD NOT RESIST, OK?? except the book isn’t proving to live up to the cover and i currently am just trying my best to decide whether the overly descriptive scereny is atmospheric or highly boring. there’s slight threat of a looming existential crisis because INDECISION.
