First Story

[tellsthestories]

If I'm late pointing this out, it's only because I was so shocked.

Some of you, and I'm sure you know who, should be ashamed of yourselves.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Now, can anyone recommend some good books to me?

DID SOMEONE SAY BOOKS

[fuckilovebooks]

What kind of books are you interested in?

XD

[tellsthestories]

I mostly prefer adventurous stories, with muggle fantasy elements, but I like romance, too!

[fuckilovebooks]

Oh, I have so many recommendations! There aren't a lot of muggle books in the Hogwarts library, but I do have a bunch I brought from home. Would you like to look at them?

[tellsthestories]

Oh, yes please! Thank you very much!

[fuckilovebooks]

Of course! I'll pick out a few for you and bring them down to the library in twenty minutes.

[tellsthestories]

I can't wait!

[fuckilovebooks]

Er, you will take good care of them, won't you? I don't want the spines getting broken.

[selfhatred]

LIKE ANYBODY'S GOING TO FUCKING LISTEN.
WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU LIKE?

[tellsthestories]

Karkat, it would do you some good to try to not act so negative so often.

Why do you ask? Do you read? I mean... As a pastime?

[selfhatred]

THE FUCKING TEACHERS SPOKE UP, YOU THINK ANYONE LISTENED TO THEM?
GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT.

[tellsthestories]

It never hurts to try.

Well, then... I like adventure, and muggle fantasy... Romance is good, too.

[selfhatred]

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
HISTORY, CONTEMPORARY, CATEGORY, REGENCY, FUTURISTIC, FANTASY, PARANORMAL, TIME TRAVEL, GOTHIC, SUSPENSE?
GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH HERE.

[tellsthestories]

I did! Adventure. Swashbuckling stories are my favorite. Historical in general is good, though! I enjoy things set in the Victorian Era especially. And muggle fantasy...

[wandsr4wimps]

Yeahhhh... seeing talk like that makes me feel a little cruddy about being Pureblood sometimes. I don't wanna look like a jerk in front of the other bloodtypes because some of us have a serious case of butt-mouth!

I don't know if I can really help you on the book thing, though, sorry.

[tellsthestories]

Oh, Finn, you poor thing. I know I, at least, try to keep in mind that not everyone that comes from all-magical families is like that.

Don't worry, but thank you.

[wandsr4wimps]

Aw, Wendy, I'm not the poor thing! I feel way worse for you Muggleborns who keep having to hear stupid 100% untrue bunk gunk that they're lesser. But... thanks for knowing that I've got your back and not all of us believe that stink.

Wish I could help more, but Jake didn't get around to teaching me to read until I was like eight, so I'm not exactly the Lord of Books!

[tellsthestories]

That's very kind of you, Finn. I try not to let it bother me, but I appreciate hearing you think it's nonsense. And you're welcome!

You didn't learn to read until you were eight? Oh, my! I hope you get to experience lots of books now, then, to make up for lost time!

[wandsr4wimps]

Maybe one day we can convince enough people to stop being such jerkwads and things'll get way better. THE FUTURE IS OURS!!

Wait, actually... I might've been nine. But, uh, I guess I have the opportunity to experience a lot of books now, what with the library, but um... idon'ttoomuch.

[tellsthestories]

I'm sure things will get better eventually, with the war over and all. By the time we're grown up, certainly, as that's so far away.

Oh! Finn, we really should get you reading!

[bluhbluhhugewitch]

Oh no, someone is upset! I'm soooooooo ashamed!

[tellsthestories]

Vriska, you're a rotten girl!

[bluhbluhhugewitch]

What a horri8le 8urn! You're opt to hurt my feelings.

[tellsthestories]

I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I'm not like you.

[bluhbluhhugewitch]

Just 8ecause you're not trying doesn't mean you aren't.

[tellsthestories]

You just told me I wasn't, though.
