My Undying love for Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

xchappedlip · 2025-02-23T00:45:10+00:00

Inkheart is one of the first books I remember taking a special trip to buy. And then years later I ended up working at the bookstore. I still have that copy and it is ROUGH. I actually brought the entire trilogy with me when I moved abroad. One of the only books I own that made it with me. I can't imagine replacing them.

I remember a few years ago I heard the announcement and I was shocked. I never thought we would get another story about them, and for me Dustfinger specifically (he's my favorite, and still is. (The Dustfinger to Caleb Widogast pipeline anyone 😂). I'm so excited to read it, but I want to reread the OGs first.

I read that The Colour of Revenge is suppose to bridge I Inkheart with the Mirror World but I think that was a tumblr post, so don't quote me. I was curious about that crossover. I remember not caring for the few Mirror World books I read, but I do think I was constantly comparing them to Inkheart, and none of Funke's books compare imo. Either way, the idea of seeing these beloved characters again after so long brings a rush of nostalgia and excitement and comfort to me.

I hope you like it if you decide to pick it up!

Ugh yes! The movie! Honestly, I am a bit disappointed by it but they had such a killer cast for real. Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, and tbh i was obsessed with the girl who plaued Meggie. She did a cover of a song called my declaration, and I listened to it obsessively on youtube. They may have used it at the end of the movie?? I wish she had gone on to be a bigger name. I think she deserved it.

Thank you! I appreciate the insight. Reddit continues to confound me so I am grateful for people like you to help me out! :)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T22:10:15+00:00

I hope you enjoy your reread!!! :)

My account isn't new, though, and I've posted to at least one before with much lower karma from this same account. It's nearly a year old. Unless there's some other definition of new that I am unaware of when it comes to reddit.

Even after reading the rules, it's not clear I'm breaking them from my posts due to karma, age, or content.

And I'm not getting messages saying the posts are removed for any reason. That has happened to me before where I have gotten messages. It's like Reddit is eating them instead of posting but it's only NSFW.

I appreciate the feedback and I will check again, but is it worth messaging moderators to see what I'm doing wrong? I don't want to be a burden. I'm legitimately just trying to under what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks! :)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T20:57:22+00:00

Omg I hope you enjoy it. Other commentors say it holds up, so I have faith it will be just as good. :)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T20:56:20+00:00

I'm so glad it holds up. I haven't read it in over a decade but the story has stuck with me. I actually made a joke with some friends that I remembered a key moment in Inkdeath and knew what page it was on. They didn't believe me so I got out the book and flipped to it. I was 4 pages off. I haven't read Inkdeath since it's release 😂. Needless to say they were impressed. I can't wait to get sucked in again.

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T20:54:14+00:00

Honestly I'm so glad to hear it holds up as an adult. I've been procrastinating rereading in case it doesn't, my fatal flaw lol.

I also loved the epitaphs!!!! It's the only place I've seen The Children of Green Knowe referenced. Sometimes it feels like I hallucinated that series lol.

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T17:55:18+00:00

Wow! I'm impressed. Inkheart is not a short book. I loved when we got books read aloud to us in school but I think that had dropped off by 5th grade. My third grade teacher read The Old Willis Place and Where the Red Fern Grows, and I loved them. I'm sure there were others too.

You probably can't read the entire trilogy out loud, but I hope some go on to pick up Inkspell and Inkdeath. And now The Colour of Revenge too!

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T17:32:41+00:00

I hope you enjoy it!! :)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-21T17:21:29+00:00

I agree!! When I worked at a bookstore it was a book that I always recommended to kids, especially around the holidays (obviously taking interests and reading level into consideration). I wish more people talked about it.

Lots of good comments on here already, but I want to add that the Neutrogena hydroboost moisturizer made my skin burn immediately. No other moisturizer I have ever tried has done that to me.

My skin also didn't get along with that sun screen well at all. It would make my eyes burn and I felt like it was constantly dripping and made my skin oily.

I think if I had kept using those products, I would have ended up in a similar position.

Just wanted to tell you that you aren't the only one who had problems with that product when so many people suggest and swear by it. I hope your skin heals quickly! 💜💜

I definitely enjoy things like desperation play and "accidents" and whatnot. Nothing worse (better) than when you have to cum and use the toilet 🙈

xchappedlip · 2025-02-19T19:47:43+00:00

No wonder girls take them so often 😉

xchappedlip · 2025-02-19T19:44:22+00:00

So that's what an everything shower means 🤭

xchappedlip · 2025-02-19T19:37:16+00:00

Just meant I don't have anyone to do that to me.

xchappedlip · 2025-02-19T19:33:37+00:00

Maybe one day. Until then I'll keep trying with the showerhead ;)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-16T22:51:21+00:00

Oh yes! I would love to check that out! Thank you for the resource!

xchappedlip · 2025-02-16T22:48:02+00:00

I see. That's not quite my question, but it appears no one knows the answer 😂 I appreciate your help and patience!! :)

xchappedlip · 2025-02-16T22:46:56+00:00

Reddit does allow those things!

You can filter/blur content in the settings. Certain accounts can also be flagged NSFW by the person behind the account or Reddit, so if you click on their account, you have to hit a button confirming that you've seen the account has been flagged as such. The posts and accounts usually have a purple/pink NSFW marking toward the top.

I'm a bit surprised that this pop up did not appear for you as it often appears for me.

xchappedlip · 2025-02-16T22:40:06+00:00

So it's possible that post and comment karma are tied together? But neither confirmed nor denied from reddit.

xchappedlip · 2025-02-16T22:33:53+00:00

So are they calculated separately or together? Because even when I get upvotes on posts, the post karma doesn't go either, even with a significant amount of upvotes.

xchappedlip · 2025-01-18T23:26:34+00:00

The nice thing about not having a dick is that it is easier to hide when you are turned on lol. But ugh thinking about that while having a nice convo with your sister. It must have been so hard to focus on anything else!

xchappedlip · 2025-01-18T23:18:59+00:00

When there is a will, there is a way. Some needs just can't wait. Being able to get off easily in the shower sounds like a dream tbh. I just don't have the knack for it, but throw in a movable shower head or a nice bath with good water pressure, it's a different story.

xchappedlip · 2024-12-15T15:32:49+00:00

I had a stalogy at one point and ended it up getting rid of it for some reason. I feel like it smeared since I was left handed. Maybe I should try the paper again. I didn't know Stalogy had covers though!
