After several polls of coming in second or third or fourth or whateverth place, Bo-Katan's Obitine Flashbacks finally won!

Bo-Katan doesn’t know specifics, but she does know it hasn’t been more than a month.

She lowers her voice. “I’m sorry for your loss, Wren. I know you and the Jedi were… close…”

And Sabine Wren drops her face into her arms, bursting into tears and then apologizing through her hysterical sobs, which tells Bo-Katan exactly how close they were.

Bo-Katan is hit with a feeling of deja vu, like she’s done this before.

Wait.

No.

She has.

Ha ha. Fun.

This is just exactly what she needed right now, another woman brokenhearted over a Jedi.

And she thought the time with her sister had been awkward.

Wren is still rambling, half-incoherently as she rubs her eyes and tries to pull herself together, a mix of excuses and explanations and aching, soul-deep pain.

She says enough to give Bo-Katan another realization.

Unless Bo has entirely misheard—not only did Wren have feelings for the Jedi boy—not only did the Jedi boy have feelings for Wren in return—not only did they confess to each other—they also said the vows, which is, Bo is pretty sure, farther than Satine ever got with her Jedi, and then the thought of Satine and Kenobi gives Bo-Katan the most horrifying notion yet.

“Oh, my gods, are you pregnant?”

Sabine sits up, eyes huge, mouth hanging open in speechless bewilderment.

“Am I… no!”

Her answer is entirely sincere, and Bo-Katan slumps in relief.

Manda be praised. We don’t need more Korkies.

#bo katan is crying with relief on the inside #but bo. you have entirely forgotten to account for adoption.#this is a MANDALORIAN we're talking about sabine is perfectly capable of acquiring a force sensitive gremlin baby on her own #needless to say in the years that they are apart sabine and ezra both acquire children #and tell their kids stories about their respective missing parents and have very fairy tale wait for true love vibes #no that telling stories thing is not at all inspired by the bridge of long live by taylor swift why on EARTH would you think that #(but seriously Long Live has MAJOR rebels vibes)#anyway i got off topic. Where was I?#oh yeah.#accidental child acquisition.#it happens.#that's the point i was making #children are acquired.#accidentally.#(one of the accidentally acquired children may in fact possibly be The Legendary Pink Haired Gremlinchild Rune)#i just really like the word acquire. ok. it is a fun word to type #sabezra #the promises au

Have you ever read the Wayward Children series and/or the first book, Every Heart a Doorway? If so, do you have any recs based on that? Or perhaps the vibes if you haven't read it?

i have indeed read Every Heart a Doorway! here is a dubiously coherent collection of recs:

Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore (portals! into different worlds! each one a different genre!)

The Great Night by Chris Adrian (midsummer night's dream, in san francisco, ft. the trauma of being chewed up and spit out by a wacky fairy tale adventure)

Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe (my favorite portal fantasy, very dark, 800 pages)

In a Glass Grimmly by Adam Grimwitz (all the stories, all at once; middle grade but actually good)

Un Lun Dun by China Mieville (neverwhere x alice in wonderland, weird and superb)

#asked and answered #full disclosure i did not love every heart a doorway so i might be missed The Thing u like abt it #but here are my de-constructed fairy tale / portal fantasy recs #book recs

A Little Speech about Cinderella

If you're still one of those people who:

1. Victim-blame Cinderella for not being able of escaping from her abusive home on her own and, because of that, consider her 'less strong' or 'less empowered' than the other princesses that came after her;

2. Sum up all her character arc as "the story of a young, naive and passive girl who does nothing but waiting for a prince to save her" instead of "the story of an abused orphan girl who longs for freedom and sees the ball (and later the prince) as an opportunity to escape from her suffering and finally be happy for ONCE";

3. Ignore her kindness, her resilience, her hope, her selflessness and her capacity to stay true to herself even in the worst circunstances or don't see these traits as a sign of inner 'strength' or a 'good example for young girls'...

You probably have to review and update your current concept of 'feminism' and a 'strong female character'.

In short: My girl Cinderella is a underrated icon and deserve as much love and appreciation as any other of the modern princesses 💙💖

Thanks for coming to my TED TALK 👍

#is this still a hot take?#I hope to make more posts like this about other princesses #snow white aurora ariel and belle are still heavily misunderstood by the current pop culture and the feminist movement #I love them and cinderella as well and they all deserve a voice #people should also start to take into account the time and context these stories were realesed #you miss the whole point when you try analyze everything solely based on modern standards #in this house we love and support cinderella 😘😍#cinderella #fairy tales #disney #disney princesses #my thoughts

It's 1am, I started playing Legends of Runeterra again, and I am once again disappointed that they just went with the basic tragic true love romance for Viego. They could have fully leaned into him being a terrible abusive creepy stalker guy who got away with it cause he was born into a position of extreme power. They could have made it Isolde's tragedy because she was unable to tell him no without terrible consequences and so had to live a life of pretending and appeasing him. They could have made it Isolde's bloody revenge when we finally get her as a champion and allowed her to go fully apeshit on him, getting vengeance for not only a stolen a life but a stolen death as well. It could have been so cool.

#lol #league of legends #i mean the whole ruined king story isn't terrible don't get me wrong #i just think it's a missed opportunity #he's already an obsessive spoiled brat who lierally started the apocolypse and murdered his cousin cause he couldn't let go #i think it would have been so much more interesting if they'd leaned into that #less fairy tale romance of the common seamstress falling in love with the king #more focus on power dynamics and politics and the fact that whether or not Isolde loved him is irrelevant for him #either way she did not have a choice #what I'm saying is that Isolde should just stabbed him when her ghost showed up in the RK event #oh well that's what headcanons are for i guess #*correction Kalista is not his cousin but his niece they're just same age so I forgot #justice for Isolde and Kalista

Reader’s Corner: Fly Me to the Moon (Vols. 12 and 13), Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible (Vol. 4), and Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (Vol. 1)

News of a second season of Banished From the Hero’s Party recently dropped, and coincidentally, we have a review of the newest volume of the manga to share with you today, along with volume one of Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, also soon to be adapted into an anime! Today’s column also features reviews of several other romantic series, including the first bound volume of Shonen Jump favorite, Blue Box; the latest volume of Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible; and the outlier, volume two of that series with a suitably outlandish title, Crazy Food Truck!

-----

Blue Box, Manga Vol. 1

My most anticipated manga has finally released physically in English, and I’m absolutely thrilled! Blue Box has been a story I’ve been deeply interested in and excited for. It’s about a young badminton player, Taiki, who ends up having a huge crush on his upperclassman, Chinatsu, after seeing how hard she plays basketball. While he looks for chances to talk to her, he never imagines they’ll get a lot closer (after a certain event) than just catching each other at the gym! He hopes that maybe she’ll start to like him the same way he likes her, but until that time comes, he keeps giving his all in badminton and encourages her to follow her dreams too. When I think of the perfect blend of blooming romance and sports, this manga right here captures it all! Taiki is a precious little bean who is respectable, adorable, thoughtful, and charming in his own awkward way. Not only do I deeply love both Taiki and Chinatsu, but the art style is perfection! There is such a softness at just the right moment, and then an intensity with action scenes—I really love the superb balance of capturing both. This is such a wonderful story, and I’m so thankful for its release because I deeply love everything about it! A great supporting cast of characters, a fantastic hero to follow, and the subtle fierceness of sports mixed with soft “romance” is everything I could want. Highly recommend it! ~ Laura A. Grace

Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of the Duke, Manga Vol. 3

I very much enjoyed reading this latest volume of Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of the Duke! This volume opened up with Claire finally being at the ball where Vik will choose his future bride, despite not receiving an invitation. Thankfully, the question of how things will unfold regarding Claire and her role in Vik’s life still are answered quickly. However, this volume had a new intensity that hasn’t been shown thus far in the series. Not saying there hasn’t been danger because that magical tornado in volume two was definitely a danger, but this time I feel the threat is more personal when Claire herself is in danger from two new villains. But Charlotte, Claire’s half-sister, is the real villain in this series. We’re finally seeing her true colors and just how horrible of a manipulator and character she is. I definitely dislike her a lot more than I did when I first started this series, even though I second the original creator’s comment in the afterword saying it’s hard to hate her because her character design is so cute. Ha! My only disappointment with this volume is how fast I read it. I felt so bummed at the end when I realized I had read all of it and couldn’t see what happens next in Claire’s life. As a result, I am eagerly anticipating the next volume’s release to see what will unfold! ~ Laura A. Grace

Crazy Food Truck, Manga Vol. 2

For those who don’t know, Crazy Food Truck follows the adventures of Gordon, a food truck driver and former soldier, and Arisa, a super-powered, mostly naked female soldier and huge eater. They travel looking for customers in the food truck, while keeping Arisa safe from those trying to find her. Volume two kicks off where volume one ended and keeps these characters on the move looking for more food options and customers. They encounter ghost towns, giant animals, and danger along the way. We also meet Arisa’s sister, who is likewise super-powered and is controlled by some shadowy government agencies. Volume two continues to be wild and all over the place. It has action, food, and more action, making for a fast-paced story. I’ve been loving every moment of it, but I can’t necessarily recommend it to everyone given how it portrays Arisa, and while she’s less nude than in volume one, there’s a lot of skin shown. Those for whom that is an issue would be wise to avoid this series. That said, if you want a wild, post-apocalyptic ride with a food truck driver and a girl trying to stay safe while figuring out the mystery behind her own powers, check it out. ~ MDMRN

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, Light Novel Vol. 1

After her mother’s death, Anne follows in her footsteps to become a Silver Sugar Master, in order to create a special candy that she can offer up at her grave. However, in order to make it in time to the royal capital where the competition that crowns a Silver Sugar Master is held, she must traverse the dangerous Bloody Highway. To protect herself, Anne does something she hates the thought of and buys a fairy slave to be her bodyguard. Anne wants to treat her fairy, Challe, more as a friend than a slave, but Challe is cold to her and refuses to do anything unless Anne outright orders him. And that isn’t the only challenge that awaits Anne on her journey… First, I was pleasantly surprised at how the slavery aspect was addressed. As much as Anne wants to befriend him, Challe makes it clear that there can be no sort of “friendship” as long as Anne holds control of him as her slave. While he does warm up to her over the course of the volume, it is clear that his enslavement is a huge roadblock in their relationship. There’s also a good look at how Anne is trying to deal with her mother’s death, and how that drives her desire to become a Silver Sugar Master. I’m not quite as much of a fan of the third major character in the story, Anne’s “hopeless suitor” Jonas, who is unpleasant in a lot of ways; but at least things involving him are wrapped up in the volume in a fairly satisfying way. Overall, this volume was enjoyable enough to recommend to those who enjoy shoujo-style light novels. ~ stardf29

Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You, Manga Vol. 1

I am so very thankful for manga recommendations from other people! If it hadn’t been for my friend Shae at ShaeGeeksOut on YouTube recommending Miss Miyazen Would Love to Get Closer to You, I would have completely missed out on this super-cute read! This heart-warming story centers on a former troublemaker, Sota, and a prim-and-proper “princess,” Sakura. While it seems they are from two different worlds and potentially have nothing in common, that doesn’t stop them both from secretly wanting to get to know each other. But they can’t seem to find their footing and actually have a conversation! These two are so precious to watch as their romance slowly unfolds through a series of misunderstandings and attempts to talk to one another! I will be quick to say that I absolutely loved this story! However, as soon as it arrived in the mail, I pushed it off on my husband since I knew he was looking for a romantic comedy to read. I was completely thrilled that he enjoyed it too! We both laughed more than once when reading, and I personally couldn’t get over these characters’ attempts to talk to each other as they end up misunderstanding one another or start blushing. It was so cute! The art is also excellent, and I really loved the character designs and expressions. I would highly recommend this manga if you’re looking for a cute, drama-free romantic comedy! I know it’s going to be a great series, and I can’t wait for the release of volume two! ~ Laura A. Grace

Banished from the Hero’s Party: I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside, Manga Vol. 3

When you’re a person of consequence, it’s difficult to live a life free of the responsibility of your power. Rit, the princess, and Red, the brilliant brother of the hero, continue their attempt to live out an idyllic existence as village apothecaries. But the past is chasing them down in the form of a one-time comrade, a traitor, and a mysterious man who may be most formidable of all. Volume three of Banished From the Hero’s Party continues to put forth all those good vibes that come along with the blossoming, cottagecore-brushed relationship between Rit and Red, but tensions are quickly rising. A considerable part of these chapters are spent on the turncoat Dir, providing the mangaka an opportunity to give more context for both Red’s relationship with Rit in the past and for his camaraderie with his former party, including his sister, whom we learn much more about in these chapters. She is equal parts dopey and terrifying. The fantasy elements of the tale are becoming stronger, accompanied and strengthened by Masahiro Ikeno’s beautiful artwork. I’m still most compelled by the peaceful elements of the story, but as it turns more and more toward adventure, I’m hopeful that the story will continue on this upward trajectory. ~ Twwk

Fly Me to the Moon, Manga Vols. 12-13

These volumes build on the previously introduced plot thread of Nasa’s job at a girls’ high school. There’s a discussion of whether Tsukasa is jealous—and should she be? We have some comedic encounters with specific students. In volume thirteen, we finally get a proper introduction to a mysterious student named Kaguya; her name implies a connection to the moon. Nasa has a mysterious dream about his wife. Oh, and now Aya wants Nasa to dig a pond, which leads to Tsukasa discovering how cool her husband can be. Later, thanks to Aya’s bullying, Nasa and Tsukasa get dragged out to a “haunted” mansion by the school film club (hilariously, the students actually recognize Aya as a content creator!). It kind of looks like we might be heading toward an encounter between moon-associated Tsukasa and moon-associated Kaguya. It is hard to know what to say about this series at this point. It’s still the sweet romantic comedy with nerdy references and hints of mystery that it’s always been. You probably know by now if you like it, so I’m not sure what else to write about. I still like this manga and plan to keep reading it. ~ Jeskai

Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible, Manga Vol. 4

Kubo and Shiraishi finally go on their first date! Of course, this being a romcom manga, it’s not like an “official” real date, but it might as well be. And the result? The date, taking place over several chapters, is equal parts cute and meh, the former because that’s what Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible excels at—”aww” moments between the leads when they watch a movie together, or compare their heights with one another, or touch each other’s hair—and the latter when the series tries to be more serious, such as when it sexualizes Kubo or tries to create a bit of physical intimacy between the leads. The artwork in this series is amateurish and, in fact, feels like it’s regressed somewhat over the volumes. The characters are cutesy but not detailed, and many panels appear half-finished. So when there’s supposed to be some sort of sexual tension between Kubo and the very comically-drawn Shiraishi, it feels out of place, as if the mangaka doesn’t know his own series. Those scenes, combined with the fairly dull early chapters in volume four, remind me that, by this point, Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible is what it is: A romcom with plenty of cute moments that’s good for filling time, but which won’t ever leave you clamoring for more. ~ Twwk

A Tale of Magic characters if they're in a summer camp but suddenly the camp turns out to be something from a horror movie:

Brystal - immediately takes in charge to calm everyone down and will volunteer to check out what's going on even though she's nervous herself

Lucy - has been waiting for something like this her whole life. definitely will leave the group, probably will force someone to be with her (most probably Xanthous) and uncover the mystery before anyone else does

Xanthous - tries to calm himself down with silent pep talks while following Lucy throughout the forest but fails miserably

Emerelda - helps Brystal to calm everyone down and keeps an eye on the group to make sure none of them does something stupid (but since Lucy is pretty sneaky, they did anyway)

Tangerina - pretends to be cool for the sake of reputation but is indeed, internally freaking the hell out

Skylene - honestly, she don't even try to hide it. definitely the first one to freak out

Seven - is the culprit who's causing mayhem but gets knocked tf out by Lucy (what a queen)

#idk wtf is this im just bored and missing this series #i love these idiots (not s*ven)#can you guys tell im definitely the biggest lucy stan #this was pretty fun tho ngl #will most probably do more in the future #a tale of magic #a tale of witchcraft #a tale of sorcery #brystal evergreen #lucy goose #mother goose #the fairy council #the land of stories #chris colfer
