another lost human being - welcome to my world 

bookworm ("too many books, too little time")
occasional wannabe-writer (a lot of ideas, but bad at sitting down to actually write)
middle-earth fan (be warned not to ask me anything about middle-earth lore if you don't want to risk facing an one-hour-monologue)
elves are the best (no explanations needed - if yes, see warning above)
potterhead (I certainly don't support Rowling's transphobic views though)
proud hufflepuff (with certain ravenclawy elements) 
corporalki
in love with Cornelia Funke's writing
german
she/her


"If only I weren't so damnably wise."
- Nikolai in "Ruin and Rising" by Leigh Bardugo

"But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren't chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway."
- Inej in "Crooked Kingdom" by Leigh Bardugo

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."
- Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien

"Now fly off and amuse yourself. Don't worry the moonbeams, and don't kill my white rabbits, and come home when you are hungry!"
- the Man-in-the-Moon in "Roverandom" by J.R.R. Tolkien

"I've got to go to the library!"
- Hermione Granger in "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling
