10 Most Read Authors

Thanks for tagging me @godzilla-reads

"what are your ten most most read authors? and how many books have you read by them? also tag someone who you would like to do this!

instructions: scroll to the bottom of your goodreads shelves and most read authors is listed underneath."

I don't use goodreads but here's what ibknow from my personal collection

1. Seanan McGuire (21 books) Seanan McGuire is an amazing writer and one of the hardest things to do is put down one of her books once you start, it's always a captivating adventure to read one of her books

2. Kay Hooper (16 books) I'm not done with her Bishop/Special Crimes Unit books but oh my gosh, she writes good. If i had to give a short and sweet summary of what she writes, it would come off as a trashy genre. But she writes possibly my favorite romances I have ever read. Once a Thief and Always a Thief are my favorite romace books of all time, and the reason I read them was because of a ML fanfic called Once a thief Always a Thief by, I believe, Saijispellhart, I think that's right, if you read that fic and liked it then you will love Kay Hooper

3. CJ Cherryh (12) this is possibly my favorite writer of science fiction full stop and i can't even get into it here because i would talk for ages, the message here is to read CJ Cherryh's books, for the love of Goddess read them

4. Jimmy Gownley (8 books) Amelia Rules is my favorite comic of all time with a close secomd being the planet Sakaar arc in the hulk comics

5. Diana Rowland (7 books) people just love her white trash zombie books, and foe good reason, but personally i loved her Mark/Blood of the Demon books a whole lot more

6. Victoria Laurie (7 books) i loved the first book in her ghost hunter mystery books, then 2 and 3 were a slog, and then the rest were good again, not sure what happened to the second and third book

7. Marrion Zimmer Bradley (7 books) ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew what the fuck is up with her ew ew ew ew ew ew this is what passed for feminist writing back then?! I've read incel rants with more respect for women than some of the stuff she writes!

Anyway she's an ok science fiction writer with a way of writing really engaging stories with a strong narrative voice, don't read her books, they really are not kind to women

8. Michelle Tea (5 books) go read mermaid in chelsea creek, go do it, right now, this is a demand, read mermaid in chelsea creek, cry about it and then come back to me and tell me what you thought about it, do it now

My favorite book from her is Valencia btw, an excellent memoir

9. Kim Harrison (4 books) don't ask me anything about her books, i could not tell you, i know what happened because i read them but the memories are jumbled up with details from the October Day novels

10. Stephen king (4 books) Stephen King is, ehhhh, i read him more for the status that he was a prolific writer and had a lot of popular books, the first one i read, which is still my favorite by the way, is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Honorable mentions that i just recommend you go read because i love their books

Eileen Myles shouldn't need and introduction and if she does then you are living a worse life for it

Rob Reger who wrote the Emily The Strange books

Clive Barker who i have read quite a bit but excluded him for the same of smaller names (but you included stephen king) shut up

Wendy Holden, she didn't write many books but the ones she wrote were good

Dana Fredsti, her plague books are like brownies

Jeanien Frost, imagine if Kim Harrison was more memorable

Now i'll tag @scham-wcan @vivaciousarcanist @zerm2v0hg @far-side-skies @grimm-the-6th @overlordneon @transgressivepistoleer @mx-kit

[wonderfulworldofmichaelford]

We are so fucking back, baby! Since my birthday weekend is coming up, I decided I’d put up a poll so we can see what absolute mess of a movie I’ll have to sit through! And since it is my birthday, I’ve decided it should be a movie based off of one of my favorite authors: Stephen King.

1. Stephen King directed his own story while high off his ass on coke. It’s about killer trucks and has a soundtrack comprised of AC/DC songs.

2. The contentious compressed adaptation of King’s most ambitious series, starring world’s sexiest man Idris Elba.

3. A movie about incestuous vampire werecats which features a slew of cameos from people like Ron Perlman, Clive Barker, and child murderer John Landis.

4. Imagine if Alien was delirious and the chestbursters went up your ass and were also called “Shit Weasels,” also everyone is psychic and Morgan Freeman is there. That’s this movie.

5. It’s a movie about a killer laundry press. This might be the greatest concept of all time.

6. Cheap-looking killer bat movie at a textile mill. I think I started watching this one once and got really bored.

7. You know what everyone loves? Remakes of beloved classics! How does the second theatrical adaptation of the book that put King on the map fare? Considering this is probably your first time hearing about it in years, not well!

8. You know what’s generally a better idea? Remaking movies that aren’t bonafide classics! The original was good but had room for improvement, so did this film deliver? Ehhhh…

9. This movie has so little to do with King’s story he demanded his name be taken off it so they couldn’t bank on the King brand.

10. King has had vampire stories adapted to great effect, but werewolves? Decidedly less so. Roger Ebert went as far as to say he thought this was a parody of the original novella… but he still liked it, so there’s hope.

Harper Alexander x Fem!AFAB!Reader || Smutshot

Note: Y'all can thank @darlingpassion for this! It was inspired by her recent 18+ Harper Headcanons (Oh my lord, go check them out. I read them in the middle of class and- I- 😅 lets just say we're lucky I'm still unwell otherwise the colour my face turned woulda been sus XD )

Plot: You (A would-have-been victim if you hadn't have been so cunning and wormed your way into Harper's good books) teach Harper what a lady in this day and age expects from her lover 👍👍👍

Warnings: Cunnilingus and begging, and slight hate fucking?. Plus both parties are dominant so there's a sort of ongoing dispute involved. Not super hot at the start but trust me- it heats up XD

"You want me... to put my mouth... down there?" Harper never looked so confounded when he finally understood what you were getting at- that sweet accent of his growing thicker and his judgemental eyes flickering from the dead-serious look on your face- to your parted legs.

"I promise this'll be a hit with the gals that come into town for the jubilee... " You insist, smirking at his reaction and crossing one of your legs over the other thigh once again, now that he got the picture. Then you hold two fingers by your head, like a scouts oath. "I guarantee it."

Rolling his eyes, Harper takes a seat on the edge of the bed next to you, before leaning forward in order to look at you. "You know, when you said y'could teach me a couple'a things... I was thinkin' a long the lines of interestin' role-plays... and knots."

"Yeah we'll get there," You brush him off. "But this is essential, my guy! If you cant do this, you're really only worth the length of your little mr- and I've seen him. Now, I don't wanna emasculate you, Harp, but... ehhhh, he's average."

Harper's jaw drops. "Avera- "

"Which is why this is such a good idea, that I have had! You can thank me later- now go get on your knees."

He just squints at you, not moving an inch except to squeeze the edge of the mattress on either side of his hips; frustrated by you.

Lord, this guy is always frustrated with you. All you want to do is help- and maybe survive, also- and all he has for you is arguments and a stink face. Huffing, you set your hands on your hips and twist your upper body to fully face him. Lets see how his ego fairs with this manoeuvre. "Should I ask Buckman, then?"

... His eyes narrow. "... Why?"

"He's, like, your pimp right?" Harper mouths the word 'pimp', like he doesn't recognise it - adorable country boy that he is, - and you huff. Okay, lets try that again. "He looks like the kinda man that gets it- maybe he can talk to you about the importance of a ladies pleasure, instead of me? Is that what you want Harp? Is it?- "

Harper cant take any amount of teasing from you, it annoys and frustrates him, and before you can even finish what you were saying he's got one of his hands curled around the back of your head and his mouths crashes into yours.

He's not really the most skilled kisser, he kisses like an old man who believes its just a stepping stone to get a woman to suck his dick, but fine, damn, it does the trick!~ And besides- you can work on it with him later.

After a moment you lean away from him, too far for him to follow you, and flick your eyes from his- down to the ground in front of you.

Hm?

For a moment he sits there, his perfect workman's hand still a comforting - almost affectionate, - weight on the back of your neck as he thinks, grumpily to himself. Then he sets his jaw and goes to kneel down in front of you. "Fine- teach me howta do it already."

"... You know, that sour face is not doing you any favours. Some men like this kinda thing- " He cuts you off, picking lazily at the waistband of your pants while you stop and just blink down at him. You watch him take out a blade from his back pocket (And first of all, WHY does he have that back there?? God, this man- infuriating and hot at the same damn time), and consequently let out a yelp.

"Hurry up, or I'm gonna slice these things off myself."

"... Rude."

That makes him smirk; An unfairly devastating smirk for such an asshole-... but pleasant. So pleasant. When he does that, the rest of your life stuck here doesn't look quite so grim.

Even though he's a dick-

~

"Am I doin' this right??"

Giving a sigh, with your back on the bed and your legs spread wide for Harper, you roll your eyes. "If you're talking, no... "

"... You're sure wet enough... " He mutters back under his breath, and you promptly get up onto your forearms to spit some facts at him.

Ohhhhh this guy. That smug look on his face as his eyes move slowly from your core to your face. Infuriating!! You're gonna kick him. In the face- "Hey- you. Barn-Boy. For your information, that is because I've been picturing Granny Boone this entre time- now stop staring at it and do something." You exclaim, before plopping back down on the bed, blowing hair out of your eyes. His eyes only seemed to light up with me yelling at him, you think, rolling your eyes. And he says the kinky thing is all an act...

Pfft. I see your soul, Harper Alexander.

While you're lost in thought over Harper, he seems to decide on taking another crack at this- and leans his head in towards your pussy. You don't feel any breath, because he's dead and he doesn't breath, but you definitely feel a presence. A tingle. You just know something's about to happen, and its maddening- you wanna arch your hips, slip the heels of your feet into his shoulder blades and push him forward, or buck up- anything to just feel his lips on you- but you curl your fingers subtly into the bedsheets, instead. No need for him to know the effect he has on you. That wouldn't do.

When his lips do touch you, its not without skill. He has been kissing for a long long time, so he isn't unfamiliar with using his lips, but there's just something missing. Its nice, but... not amazing. As he presses his face into you, slowly taking his tongue all over you, you think back to moments in the past when men have touched you like this. When its been so good your toes curled and you couldn't help but grind your cunt against his tongue.

... What was the difference?...

Biting your bottom lip, you rack your brain over this for a few more moments as Harper continues to explore; Even using his thumbs to rub up and down the outside of your lips, leaving lovely tingles in their wake. Still, you wonder... what's missing...

Maybe... he's not... really into it?? If not, you really shouldn't make him-

Wait.

Suddenly your whole body goes stiff, remembering. You hope he doesn't notice, which he mustn't because he doesn't stop his ministrations at all, because you have had an epiphany. Even the first time you two were together, he was like this. Without a spark. But he warmed up and it got really- really, good.

Because you started begging him.

Getting up on your elbows again to see him, you glare... even though the sight of this beautiful man with his face in your pussy does send butterflies all the way up through you. Because, god... This narcissist. Of course. Of course- he gets off to you begging him. You're not surprised, but you are irritated.

... well. Its worth a shot anyway.

Shifting, you slide your legs slowly up over his shoulders, caging the beautiful man between your thighs and allowing him a better angle, and transform your face- closing your eyes, parting your lips, and tipping your head back. When he leans in some more and licks a particularly broad stripe through your lips, gliding his tongue fully over your clit, you let out your moan. One of your heels digs into his back, and you push your core out a little bit closer to him, biting your lip and bunching up some more of the bedding into your fists. "Damn... " You whisper, putting on a performance- even though your pleasure is real.

Harper stops. He disconnects from you, and leans back on his heels, and when you crack your eyes open ever-so-delicately, you see him raising a brow at you. "What in the world was that??"

"That was encouragement, Harper."

"Y'think I need it?" He asks, though one corner of his mouth quirks up.

You just give a wink, before laying down again on your back. There's a secret smirk on your lips as you look at the ceiling. "Please... just do that again."

The pleased lilt to his voice is clear, and you're expecting to just put it on for the rest of this, for his benefit. "... hm. Well, your wish is my command I s'pose. Get comfortable, Miss Y/N."

... But when he comes back in, you're immediately shocked at the sudden change in him- you actually let out a sudden yelp of pleasure, feeling his thumbs spread your lips wide open for him now and his tongue dart deeper inside your core then you thought he could. You very nearly slap a hand over your mouth because of the very unintentional gasp- and then- "Oh god!- "

Your hips jolt forward, too, into his soft lips and immediately feel him chuckle against you. It make sit even worse, the vibrations directly against your clit. "Fuck!- fuck, fuck, fuck- "

Harper presses his mouth hard against the outside of your cunt and devours you, shoving his tongue into you as deeply as he can get and thoroughly tongue-fucking your most sensitive parts- making you whine, and yelp, and buck into him like a desperate, needy bitch.

The sounds he's making, too, are hot. Groaning into your pussy like he's eating something fucking delicious, your taste on his tongue exactly what he was looking for as he rubs his mouth more securely into the crevice between your thighs.

When you're so close to a very sudden, very violent orgasm- Harper takes the moment away. Starts giving you slow, language strokes that are just not deep enough- the bastard even takes one of his hands away from you in order to hold your calf on his shoulder. Tight.

Stopping you from pushing him in again.

He chuckles once again against your poor, throbbing and now tragically empty cunt, and gently rubs his nose against your mound. It would be sweet, affectionate; if you didn't hate his guts for it.

Giving a whine crossed with a desperate, frustrated sob, you throw an arm over your eyes so as to hide from the shame of outright begging this asshole. "Harperrr, plee-eesseeeee... "

"Don't you worry, Miss. Heh, I aint done."

"... Wh- Ah!" When he suddenly slips a long finger into and starts torturously rubbing at your inner walls with it you really do slap a hand over your mouth- afraid of the noises coming out of you, now. Another finger goes in, covering more area as he ruthlessly attacks your deepest, most private, most sensitive spots.

Your hips aren't just arching anymore, they're following his rhythm; Grinding into his evil fingers now, rolling so they move inside you just the way you need. "Y'like that, Miss Y/N?"

"More Harper, please Harper- "

"I gotcha."

Then he leans his head in between your thighs again, and he struggles, but he manages to lick you while his sopping wet fingers thrust in and out of you fast.

With your most embarrassing sound yet and one more roll against his face, you cum right into his damn face.

~

While you sit up with your hand on your chest and a pillow between your legs, just trying to calm down from that ridiculously amazing high, Harper gets up and sits down next to you; A hand on your knee and a smirk on his face. When he speaks, you give him a bemused look, while you continue to feel your racing heart inside your chest still. "So... how'd I do, then? Did I master the importance of a ladies pleasure, then? Or do we needa' do that again?"

For a moment you consider telling him to shut up, but the horny outweighs the need to wipe that look off his face. So instead you lean in, eyes half lidded, and look at him down your nose; A finger under his chin to make him look back, though he isn't looking away from you. "Practise does make perfect, Harp."

"I couldnta' said it any better myself."

[skygemspeaks]

your jarra breaks up with fian au is something im soooooo excited about (have been since you first started talking about it)!!!! it's just such a brilliant idea especially since fian gets a bit ehhhh to me as a character (especially once the amazing raven comes in!!!!) is there anything new you've thought of adding to it since reading the drago series?

I'm glad you're excited for it! It's something that's been on my mind ever since I first thought of it, but the main thing that's been putting me off actually writing and posting it was that I knew I was missing a lot of context before, since I hadn't read any of the extra content.

Fian continues to annoy me, and at this point idk if I just have a negative view on everything he does because I already disliked him, but that one part in Earth Prime with Jarra's skintight made me SO upset. Jarra's body had "developed" during her time in the regrowth tank, to the point that it caused the skintight to be smaller in the chest area, and the stretching of the fabric made her breasts more visible. And instead of informing Jarra about this, Fian just decided to enjoy the view? Wtf? He said that he didn't think it would matter because she usually wore a robe over her skintight but....he has to know there's always a chance others will see her in just her skintight. In literally the first book during the Solar 5 reacue, the two of them and Cassandra 2 were around each other in just their skintights when they were resting.

This au is so self indulgent for me because I'm just working out all my frustration with Fian in it and gushing over Raven the whole time 😂 Also, I haven't decided yet if I'll introduce Dalmora into the relationship but I think I might.

Anyways in regards to your question, yeah there are a few things I was thinking of adding to it, after having read the Drago 2781 series. There'll be multiple povs from Riak and Drago, and I'm hoping to find a way to bring Jaxon and Gemelle into the story because I love both of them so much.

There'll be a couple mentions of what happened during the Hera blockade, since we know that Raven's a big fan of Drago, and I feel like that might have to do with it 😂 Raven having more knowledge about the Tell Clan I think would really help Jarra come to terms with her Betan heritage a lot easier and would help facilitate a closer relationship with her family.

Also, we all know I'm on that doting grandfather Riak agenda. On God I'm gonna find a way to bring it up early on.

Oh and Playdon's thing with Jerez is really cute, I might throw in some hints about that too.

The Battle of the Marshmallows

Dust clears as the camera pans over a destroyed field, Owl, seen dust and soot covered, looks to the camera. Owl: It is day two of the Great Marshmallow War, dubbed the Battle of Epic Proportions by Nerd as tensions rise, the Toasted ones are quiet. The camera pans across the field where trenches had been dug out. The scenes change with Owl voicing over, the trenches are small, and few people are seen: the Toasted have fewer numbers than their foes, but they prove to be a valiant foe against the Burnt ones. Here is Nerd, who seems to be the leader of the fight.

The camera shows a shadowed figure sitting by a campfire, warming up what appear to be bullets made of toasted marshmallows. Owl continues with the voice over: Marshmallow bullets, formed from sugar, and hardened in the fire to a golden brown. They are duller than the competing ‘burned’ bullets which use the fire to completely harden the marshmallow, unfortunately it makes it more brittle, but packs a bigger punch. Another shadowy figure walks up to the shadow known as “Nerd.” They carry two smaller figures, who once set down immediately run to Nerd, grabbing the burned bullets. From the shadows Linda approaches, a sniper rifle held in her hand.

Linda: They are setting up the cannons. Fred is stocking ammunition. A boom is heard and the camera shakes. Changing scenes to the other side of the field. The Burnt ones. Trenches lit with fire, they walk on warm coals. Owl’s voice over continues.

Owl: The Burnt ones, larger in numbers, having the advantage of having the famous Spartan John-117. They are louder, and send off routine cannon firing, a display of power. As if on cue, a cannon is shot, the flaming ball of burned marshmallows shooting high into the air before exploding into a flare of flames. A shadowy wolf howls and pushes another flaming coal into the side of the trench. Kelly drops down from the top of the trench, and wacks John on the shoulder. There is no reason for it, and the situation dissolves as John and Kelly start yelling at one another. The camera switches back to Owl, who narrowly sidesteps a fallen chunk of flaming marshmallows: Mediation efforts continue as Samuel-034 tries to calm the sides. Camera changes to the lone tree, barely standing in the destroyed field. A tattered “flag” of white is tied to the branches. The Spartan is seen sitting in the tree, reading a book. A close up reveals the title “How to get your children to stop fighting” The camera pans back to Owl as another boom shakes the ground. A flying chunk of what was a cannonball hits the camera, knocking it off of its stand. The screen goes dark.

Feel free to add onto the story either though message/reblog/comments. I’ll add it/reblog it in another post :D

Watched this Henry II docudrama while working on stuff yesterday and as u all know I love seeing what ppl do with the reenactor drama while Dan Jones walks around like a badboy at Chinon.

The thing is I've been so spoiled by the ugly haircuts and colorful stage camp toot toot music of The Devil's Crown that going to this SUPER grey and gritty modern realism filter is a whiplash haadjdjdidid. Also I realized they recycled a lot of this footage into the Secrets de Histoire video about Eleanor lmaoooo

The narrator talks in very serious voice about how THIS FAMILY DRAMA IS MORE BLOODIER AND DRAMATIC than FICTION which true I suppose but also to me it's Funny. It's Bathos.

We have Eleanor being the Evil Woman in the Yaoi shot here between Henry and Becket

Becket looks EVIL in all his shots and they play like the most foreboding haunting music it's like God damn u guys don't have ANY lighting whatsoever. Bc he comes across so sinister when they get to the part about Young Henry's dadson marriage coronation and they talk Abt Becket being uninvited it sounds like he's Maleficent or something..should show up in announced just to CURSE him (tbh he kind of did that with the excommunication lmaooo)

We get to see Henry Junior ofc which I'm always like yayyyyy it's my glup shitto...this doc really leans on that "Criticizing Henry re his interpersonal faults and internal personality" kind of motivation for his actions which I'm like ehhhh ofc things are more complex politically and I can't help but feel after reading Strickland's TYK book it's more hmmm. But anyways this distracts from the important things which is:

Narrator sticks pretty much to Actual Factual things that happens and the actor scenes follow suit BUT THEN! THERE IS SUDDENLY A FANFICTION (preceded by narrator going "one could only imagine what the heated conversations were like")

The dark ass lighting is annoying as hell but basically Young Henry bursts into Henry's room to be mad about Chinon (Mirabeau and Loudon) being given to John and they argue for a bit and then Henry gets mad and starts choking him???

But then he stops and then they're both like crying and hugging with this foreboding music. Anyways thanks timeline for the completely made up dadson bait for Me Personally

Blabla blah rebellion etc it's very truncated ad most of it is about bullying Henry LMAO

But ofc we get Eleanor helping da Boyz rebel and being mad Abt Toulouse and then there's the obligatory intimate shots w Richard (this also was recycled in Secrets de Histoire)

Also this series ofc follows the grand tradition of letting you know who John is by giving him a smirk and fancy lil fashion accessory in this case his cunty hat

Anyways pretty fun intro and overall generally factual. I nitpick bc I've just come off my reading ofc but djskjf the psychological narrative of "Henry grew up fighting for his throne in disordered times (the Anarchy) so that led him to want to reassert order and control in the lands and also not relinquish control in his family" feels oversimplified modern psychoanalysis storytelling rather than based in the reality, surprised there wasn't really any brief mention of the whole thing Abt the king of the English still being subject to Louis for the French lands thing bc that feels very central??? To the conflicts?? To me??? but it's a fun intro. At least there were no Party City Wigs like in Secrets de Histoire

I feel like if SJM was going to do a crossover she should’ve stuck with the “original” school of thought from way back when where it would be a rowaelin x feysand crossover. Idk haha. I’m not a TOG girl or a rowaelin girl but I can’t deny the appeal of SJM’s two best, OG series crossover between her two main heroines and heroes. I feel like Feyre x Aelin is what people always wanted to see. I don’t think people ever cared as much about Bryce or Quinlar, and I doubly don’t think they cared as much about Bryce meeting with Nesta and Azriel. Just odd choices all around. People wanted the mains. If Bryce had to be there, people wanted Bryce and Feyre, or Bryce Feyre and Aelin. A part of me thinks SJM loves the stories she crafted for Rowaelin and Feysand so much that she didn’t want to introduce something new to it, she just wants to leave them as is. Whereas maybe she doesn’t care that much about Bryce or how Nesta’s story left off, so shes like, sure, I’ll have them meet.

I honestly think that that's coming. I think there will be a crossover between ACOTAR and TOG, because she already started it back in ACOSF and the last TOG book. So i think that's going to be expanded.

My assumption is that she is gonna bring in the Valgs to ACOTAR. Or Koschei is Valg and once he gets released it will be a wild and crazy time.

And I think there will be further involvement with Bryce and CC characters (ehhhh).

I dont think she wanted to crossover Bryce and TOG. I think she'll want to do a BIG crossover with her faves.

And it's like-Rhys hates Nesta? Just you wait till he meets Aelin! LOL

1/2) The former unnamed member of Homra learns that the Sarumi are dating and asks Yata WHY IS HE? What do you see in it? Is he an asshole!? And at this moment, he does not notice how the main part of Homra is trying to gesture to him that he should shut up. Yata says he's glad he asked, and pulls out of nowhere a 500-slide presentation "why Fushimi Saruhiko is so cool", two films, a theatrical production of a couple of books, and a bunch of other things.

Yata just has to explain to the uninitiated (also poor unnamed Homra guy, he probably properly hated Fushimi back when Yata was telling everyone what a total traitor asshole Fushimi was and then post-ROK hits and oops dating now). Like imagine this poor unnamed Homra guy who’s had a crush on Yata forever, he thinks Yata’s just super cool and strong and all that. Homra guy has been hesitant to actually admit to his crush though, because everyone knows that Yata is, uh, not the most experienced when it comes to love and all that. However the guy has been trying to bond with Yata when possible, and since Yata spends a lot of time complaining about that jerk traitor of course Homra guy also decides that Fushimi is indeed the worst most awful traitor. 

Then post-ROK Yata and Fushimi start dating and unnamed Homra guy is crushed, like he thought Yata hated Fushimi and now all of a sudden Yata’s dating him. One day Homra guy stops by the bar and it happens Yata’s waiting for Fushimi to get back from handling some Strain situation so they can go on a date and he’s chatting about it with Kusanagi. Unnamed guy can’t believe that after all this time Yata’s decided Fushimi is great and he can’t take it anymore, unrequited feelings and frustration welling up so he finally snaps what do you even see in that asshole, he’s just a skinny nerd who works for the Blues, you’ve really fallen Yata-san. Yata doesn’t even notice that he himself has been insulted as he’s like ‘eh? Ehhhh?’ and leans in really close, like he’s ready to fight. Homra guy clenches his fists but then Yata’s like let me tell you asshole Saruhiko is really fucking cool and around them the rest of the Homra guys sigh because Yata has launched into a tirade about Why Saruhiko Is The Coolest.

At some point a couple Homra alphabet boys sneak out of the bar to go help S4 handle the Strain issue so Fushimi can be freed to go get his boyfriend and the rest of them can be freed from hearing about how much Yata loves his boyfriend. Imagine Fushimi shows up just as Yata’s going over a list of all the amazing things Saruhiko has done and Fushimi just sighs and grabs Yata’s wrist like come on idiot you promised me a date right. Yata supposes he can let unnamed Homra guy off the hook now, Fushimi claims that Yata didn’t need to go so overboard but imagine there’s the slightest blush on his face.

#sarumi #Talking K #we don't have all day Yata #he could spend all day talking about Saruhiko though #unnamed guy needs to hear how amazing Fushimi is #the Homra alphabet are like we have seen this can we move on #someone is sent to get Fushimi just so they can all leave

Head cannon for Jeff;

❗❗❗ART ISN'T MINE 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝙄𝙎𝙉'𝙏 𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙀, I'm using this for visuals, I'm too tired to draw anything out but yea credit to these artist❗❗

So for mr jeffy boy, I like to use BanningK's jeff. If you haven't heard or read the story and know of the time line, PLEASE check out Mr.creepypasta's videos for it, they are the SHIT.

So anyways, Jeff in this timeline by the original author, he doesn't carve a smile into his face, doesn't magically turn white because of being burned. Instead of that happening, the three boys still gang up on him. 𝘽𝙪𝙩, the main one, I forget his name, his mom and Jeff's mom decided they should get to know one another, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘑𝘦𝘧𝘧'𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘶'𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴. Granted, Jeff beat the shit out of the kids but whatever. Cops knew and were friends with the asshole crotch goblins families so they were on their side for the most part. 𝘼𝙉𝙔𝙃𝙊𝙊𝘿𝙇𝙀, Jeff goes over to this kids house, and they actually get along ang bond over some stuff. Eventually, their moms' leave, 𝙊𝙊𝙊 𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙉𝘼𝙈𝙀 𝙒𝘼𝙎 𝙍𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙔, and Randy tells Jeff to follow him. They go into his garage and he eventually shows Jeff his flare gun. Jeff, not wanting to deal with more fighting, tries to leave, but Troy and Keith show up, and Randy's saying basically to let them beat Jeff up. And Jeff, losing it, beat the fuck out of all them basically. Randy's and Jeff's mom eventually come back, they hear the car pull up. Randy freaks out and tells them he needs to put the flare. Everyone starts putting stuff away, and as Jeff goes to pick up magazines, Randy actually accidentally drops the flare, it goes off and shoots Jeff in the face. So, now half of his face is burned, and he's blind in his left eye. Doesn't turn any shade of color, it's just burned skin now. He doesn't kill his brother either in this one, his brother actually goes on to write books about his brother. I think it's called "friend, brother, killer. By Liu Woods" some shit like that.

𝘽𝙐𝙏 𝙉𝙊𝙒 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝘼𝙇 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝘿 𝘾𝘼𝙉𝙉𝙊𝙉-𝙎𝙊𝙍𝙍𝙔 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝘼𝘾𝙆𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 𝘾𝙍𝘼𝙋 𝙄 𝙅𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿𝙀𝘿 𝙄𝙏 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙏𝙊 𝙎𝙊𝙍𝙏𝘼 𝙈𝘼𝙆𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝙔 𝙎𝙀𝙉𝙎𝙀

So, Jeff sees certain members of slender's proxy and acquaintances, (such as LJ, Jason the toy maker + Candy pop, Hobo Heart, and others), as family. Especially since his actual family was ehhhh not the best. Granted, he killed his parents but if they actually acknowledged their children and what was 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 going on, maybe they'd be alive. He views Sally as a little sister, and he has mixed feelings about her. Not in a bad sense, just, he feels awful. Especially since Jackson (EJ Goes by Jackson for my HC since LJS there and he tends to prefer it anyways), filled him in on what happened to her exactly. (𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙗𝙧𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚) He likes Jackson, but has no idea how he'd even approach a person, er uh, demon? Like him. He knows he has emotions and feeling like a "human" but obviously he's not human anymore. With Ben and Toby, they're like his weird gbf's (Ben and Toby do be gay tho), but Jeff doesn't mind them dating. He's actually the reason they said anything to each other in the first place.

With jinx, it's weird. He met her one time just doing his crap in the forest. She attached him, because she needed to eat. Jeff having experienced junk like this, threw her off and they kinda had a stand off. Jeff was v e r y confused. I don't blame him, she'd be wearing a floor length dress, similar to mortica adams, but more Victorian goth. Eventually though the develope like a bro, sibling type bond. She's imortal and almost as old as Jack (LJ) so he didn't try to pursue her in anyway, plus he had *hinted* about it to her one time and she made it clear they wouldn't work out, but she was flattered non the less.

Uhhh yeaaaa. I'll make one for Jinxs as well, especially because she's like my sona and I plan on writing a story about her background and how she became a vampire. It's sorta similar to Luis in "Interview with a vampire". But y'all will hear about this as I go hehe

[linkspooky]

Hi! You’re truly an interesting and fascinating person. Your meta and insights are very useful. And as others said, extremely well put and though out. You’ve mentioned before that you read extensively… Is it okay to ask for your reading recommendations? Whether it may be essays or books or manga, I’ll happily take it! Of course, it’s okay if you cannot answer that (—w—)/✨But please accept my earlier compliments and heartfelt appreciation of your time in putting your analysis together! It’s always so fun reading them. That’s all, thank you!

(ﾉ∇≦*) ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

Thank you so much. I am very bad at accepting compliments but I will try my best for your sake. I made a long list of my favorite books over here, but if you want more reccomendations here’s a few off the top of my head. 

The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. 

If you like the female characters written by George RR Martin, but George’s writing makes you a little ehhhh, than I highly recommend these books. They are a deconstruction of the standard fantasy tropes, but written by a woman TM with a lot more sensitivity. FItz is one of the most toxically masculine protagonists I’ve ever head, but also he’s my baby girl and I love him. There’s just a lot of emotional intelligence written with these books, and also it’s less triggering than Game of Thrones so if you want to read a deeply thoughtful fantasy series this is it.

Prince of Thorns, the Broken Emptire Trilogy. by Mark Lawrence

I just reccomended a series as a less triggering version of Game of Thrones, but do you want to read a fantasy that’s much more explicit??? Than read this one. The strength of this series is the main character as one of the most vile, but also uniquely sympathetic main characters in fiction and I like his journey leading to redemption at theend of the last book. The world of this book is also incredibly interesting, because the twist is instead of the standard fantasy setting TM it’s post apocalyptic with society having been reset to the middle ages due to a nuclear war. 

Boogie Pop Series

My favorite light novel series of all time is Zaregoto, but if someone were to ask me to reccomend them a light novel that shows to a person who’s never read light novels before the storytelling potential of them I’d say Boogiepop. Boogiepop is a cyberpunik / fantasy series where every single installment is an episodic adventure loosely connected to this world where these normal high school kids and people brush against these supernatural phenomena and they all have strong characters and themes that make you ask questions about real life. Good light novels, use the medium of short stories and light prose to try telling really experimental stories outside of mainstream with cult appeal that ask you really hard question. 

THe first six novels are translated, and if you read those six it will give you a complete enough picture to understand the appeal of the series. 

The Queen’s Thief Series by Megan Whielan Turner

I read this recently. If you want a series that is about the difficulty of rulers ruling without like a million subplots like there is in game of thrones, this is a much more concise series with a well written ending. Also, one thing I do like about the series is from book 4 onwards it’s told from the perspective of characters who usually don’t get a narrative voice in these kinds of series, book 4 is narrated by a slave, book 5 has a long subplot about the horrors of slavery as endured by a major character, book 6 is narrated by a character who is born both defroemd and autistic and they’re a fully fleshed out human being. They are capable of mistakes and learning, they have difficutlies with things but they work hard to make up for them, they are not secretly a genius even if they have a special interest in numbers, they also start improving and recovering when everyone around them starts treating them like a human being. 

The Count of Monte Criso by Alexandre Dumas...

s one of my favorite books ever, and I totally forgot to mention it on my favorite books list. It’s not only the greatest revenge story ever written, it makes a case for why straightforward revenge stories are not only bad, but kind of boring. 

Basically even Edmond Dantes, a character falselsy imprisoned, betrayed by both his closest friend and the woman he loved who has every right to his revenge chooses to abandon revenge in the end, because not only does it spiral out of control and almost hurt a complete innocent, but also his revenge while maybe desered wasn’t helping him heal as a human being the same way the love of the woman closest to him was.

Journey under the Midnight Sun by Keigo Hashino

I’m a fan of this authors other works, especially his detective novel, but if you want to read an emotional story that will cahnge your whole life, you should read the story of the two children in this book just trying to grow up and live their lives in a world’s that horribly unfair to both of them. 

In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami

I actually reccomend a lot of Ryu Murakami’s works if you’re trying to get into japanese surrealism and horror. Fair waning though, they are all, like, incredibly graphic. I’m reccomnding them to you as a horror fan. Piercing, by Ryu Murakami is also a good one.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

This is another one that almost made my top ten list. It’s in the same vein of horror as Frankenstein and Dracula, but it is also deeply existentialist and philosophical/ The horror element of this kind of takes a backseat, to the character discussing philosophy like the benefits and drawbacks of hedonism, and the human condition. Oscar Wilde is also, a gay man, who was tried for sodomism after writing this book, so there’s a strong historical homosexual subtext to consider when reading this book too if you’re considering reading with that sort of thing in mind. 

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

This is my favorite mystery novel of all time. It basically invented the unreliable narrator trope, though, saying that is kind of a spoiler to the novel so I won’t say anything further. Edgar Allan Poe may have invented the mystery genre, and Sherlock Holmes may have popularized it, but Agatha Christie made it swaggy. 

The Decagon House Murders Ayatsuji Yukito

I have to bring up this author if I bring up Agatha Christie, because their debut work was written as a response to AND THEN THERE WRE NONE (please google the original title I don’t want to talk about it) and if you’re not comfortable with Agatha Christie’s works for reasons, they are a very smart and modern take on tropes that were popularized by Christie. They’re a part of the Shinhonkaku school of detective fiction, or Neo Orthodox which is basically a throwback to the classics. 

Goth by Otsuichi

Another one of my favorite japanese Horror authors, I reccomend Goth along with Black Fairy Tale, they are both horror pieces that focus on the characters and their struggles instead of gore which really creates an effective horror as you sympathize and despirately wish for the survival of the main cast. Also, this is a dumb observation, but Goth’s ideas are very.... gothic in nature. 

Literally anything by Shirley Jackson

All of her novel length works are worth reading, I’ve read them multiple times. The haunting of Hill House is famous, but I’d amost reccomend less well known ones like Hangsman or We Have Always Lived in the Castle, because they use Shirley Jackson’s trademark surrealism to illustrate their points so clearly despite not being straightforward horror like haunting of Hill House is. 

Okay, I can’t remember any more books I like, I hope that’s a long enough list to satiate your tastes.

A Detailed Consideration of Every Peter Ship

I ship Peter from Divergent with literally everybody. For the sake of this, I'm throwing out my own version of Peter (for the most part) because my version is gay, and that'd eliminate a lot of people on this ranking. I wanna give my thoughts on the ships in terms of chemistry, not just say "He's gay, no." to every ship with a girl. The girls may rank lower due to this bias, though. I'm skipping over people who are significantly older for obvious reasons along with skipping people Peter's never met because I'd have nothing to talk about. Without further ado, let's start.

PETER X TRIS:

No. Just no. I despise this ship so much. We get to see inside Tris's mind, and not once does she ever have a kind thought about Peter. My headcanons about Peter associating Tris with his sister really doesn't help with my distaste for this. I don't like Tris and I adore Peter.

PETER X MYRA:

I almost didn't put this one on the list because I'm not sure that Peter and Myra had any notable interactions, but I included every other initiate from their group, so it felt rude to leave Myra out. I don't like this idea, sorry. In my Edward is abusive AU, I can imagine them bonding and comforting each other over that, but it's platonic for me. I've never been a fan of the trope where characters escape an abusive relationship and can only move on and feel okay again by dating somebody else. As if you need a partner to "save you." Plus, trauma isn't a great relationship foundation.

PETER X ERIC:

This is a hard one for me. On one hand, I go off of the books, and in the books, Eric is 18. On the other, he's 24 in the movies, and some part of me still sees him as that. I also don't love shipping things with a huge power imbalance. It's essentially teacher x student, and I'm not comfortable with that. I do use this pairing occasionally as a situation where Peter is being abused/groomed, but other than that, it just rubs me the wrong way.

PETER X CHRISTINA: I have to admit that I don't care much for this ship. While I'm all for enemies to lovers, Christina doesn't have object permanence for Peter after the first book. If there was more of an arc to their relationship or if they continued being bitter to each other throughout the whole book series, I could get behind this. As is, though, it feels like they slowly fade out without any fanfare.

PETER X MOLLY:

Ehhhh... See, this is where my gay Peter bias shines through. I do like the idea of these two absolutely atrocious people just chilling as the world's worst couple, but I just can't quite get behind it. No real reason, but it doesn't appeal to me.

PETER X FOUR: Technically, this has the same teacher/student problem as Peter and Eric, but due to the facts that Four is 18 in both the movies and books, Four is just a trainer while Eric is a faction leader, and after book one Four has no power over him, this is better. I can't say I love this ship or that I'll ever make any content for it, but it's serviceable. I can think of a few good ideas.

PETER X AL: I've never considered this one before making this tierlist for some reason, but I'm fond of this idea! I like the idea of putting Peter, an absolute wreck, with a total sweetheart. It's even more interesting when you consider that he helped Peter try and toss his friend off a cliff. Perhaps there was a bigger reason than rankings he tried that?

PETER X WILL: Another one that I never considered before this list, but I like it a lot for some reason. I'll always be a slut for enemies to lovers, but enemies and lovers at the same time is even better. I'd love to see Will talking with Tris and co about Peter and he say something like "Well, he's not that bad..." and everybody just stares at him in horror. I can't rank this any higher due to Will's early death, but it has potential.

PETER X EDWARD:

This is the first ship on the list that I actually use regularly. These two have huge bitter ex boyfriend vibes and I'm here for it. The situation also isn't as black and white as it seems. Edward claims that the reason Peter stabbed him was a physical altercation that Peter did not emerge the victor of. What... what did you do, Edward?

PETER X MOLLY X DREW: I had to edit to add this. Don't know how I forgot it considering I loved this ship for a while a couple years back. Anyways, this is awesome. I love the idea of these three demons just casually and happily dating. Fantastic.

PETER X DREW:

Now this. This is where it's at. Drew is the person who sticks by Peter and the only person who I feel genuinely likes him. He's constantly taking the fall for Peter's actions without complaint. I love framing these two as an unrequited love situation, where Drew will do anything for Peter to notice him, and Peter takes advantage of that again and again. Drew gets hurt for it and Peter never has to grow as a person since Drew will never give him consequences for his actions. It's terrible for both of them and I love it.

PETER X CALEB: Anybody who knows me knows where this is ranking. C'mon. These two are awesome together. Throughout the entire second book, the two would have been in Erudite together without the rest of the cast. Anything could've happened. Not to mention, Tris sees them together chatting on the plane, and when Four tries to talk to Peter, he mentions that he and Caleb are in a "Tried to kill Tris club." You just know that these two are bonding over their shared guilt at being horrible people. Plus, Caleb volunteered to go turn off the memory serum (and died in the process) and that's when Peter did the Divergent equivalent of committing suicide without ever knowing Caleb backed out. Maybe things would've been different if he had known.

Livia Union Birthday Personal Story

Livia grinned, excited for the interview. "Livia, your hair!"Lilia called. Livia perked up then reached up, fixing her hair, a small smile on her face. She took the scrunchie out, biting down out it and letting it hang from her jaw as she fixed her half up half down style. She took the scrunchie out from between her teeth, and tied her half up hair with it. Lilia came over, fussing over her, smoothing down her clothes, making her smile on amusement at the eight. "The interviewer will be coming soon, gotta look your best alright!"Lilia smiled looking up at her. "Alright Papi!"Livia chuckled. She turned away, then turned back and kissed her fathers cheek. "Thanks Papi!"Livia grinned. "No problem!"Lilia chuckled waving. She went down to the lounge area, waiting for her interviewer.

"The presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will bring good fortune..."Livia muttered. "I hope the fortune is good and fun!"Livia grinned. "Since Malleus's Overblot you've been more independent, and getting into trouble." Vil smiled at her, looking highly amused. "Malleus's Overblot opened my eyes and besides, Uncle Duke is now Peacebringer and being raised again by Grandma!"Livia laughed grinning at Vil. "I love your new hairstyle!"Vil smiled. "Thanks, cut my hair myself and Cater helped pierce my ears"Livia grinned. "Not very princess like but oh well, you're being yourself they can't judge you!"Vil chuckled nodding. "Oh yes, your gift!"Vil went on holding a gift box out to her. "Don't shake it!"Vil says quickly. Livia nodded and set the gift box down, carefully pulling the tied ribbon off and lifting the lid.

"Woah!"Livia gasped her eyes widening. She picked out a makeup kit, along with a book with styles for short hair and more scrunchies since she was prone to loosing them. "Isn't this above the budget!"Livia gasps. "Nope, the only thing I bought was the scrunchies and the book for short hair styles"Vil chuckled. "Where'd the makeup kit come from then..."Livia blinked. "It's mine"Vil responded. She stared at him shocked. "EHHHH?!" Vil chuckled in amusement, smiling at her. "Golden got me a new one, so I spiffied this one up, made it to your liking and brought it here"Vil smiled. "Vil...were you the one who sent those mountain is gifts the other day know their was gonna be a budget?"Livia smiled amused. "Hmmm....maybe~"Vil chuckled looking amused.

The two laughed, smiling at each other. "Now lets get started with the interview"Vil smiled looking at her. "If you could bring one person to a deserted island with you, who would you chose?"Vil asks. "A deserted island huh..."Livia muttered going into deep thought. "It's between him and him..."Livia muttered. "Who?"Vil blinked curious. "Hm....I'd bring Deuce with me"Livia responded. "Deuce?"Vil says surprised. "I can fly remember"Livia says spreading out her large wings, Vil flinching in alarm. "I wanted to bring Epel with me, but he'd protest to me carrying him like a damsel in distress"Livia says. "Deuce on the other hand is easier to work with and I could carry him on my back for most of the flight"Livia says. "But another thought I had was that I'd make a boat"Livia explains.

"Go on"Vil nodded intrigued. "I'd have Deuce collect food and jars or bottles of water, if we have none I'll find a way to keep him hydrated for the ride, I'd make a rope out of whatever I could find and I'd pull the boat, he'd stay safe in the boat and I'd be flying in the air able to spot land before he could"Livia adds on. "The flaw in that plan would be finding something to keep Deuce hydrated..."Livia muttered. "What about you?"Vil asks. "I can go three days without eating and drinking, I've done it before when I was thirteen, my dad challenged me to spend three days out in the wilderness alone, I couldn't find any food or water and I even got lost, I went those three days without eating nor drinking and even at that time I had a stuffy nose so I couldn't sniff anything out"Livia sighed.

"Why didn't you tell your father that?"Vil gasped alarmed. "I wanted to show him I could survive on my own even with a stuffy nose, so I kept quiet...when my dad came to get me he saw I was chilling and asleep on a branch, he was impressed with my resilience so I got good marks on that survival test"Livia grinned looking proud. Vil smiled in amusement, looking impressed. "What surprised me was not needing to eat or drink for three whole days, but I'm glad I found out about it, so Deuce would safely be able to keep himself full"Livia smiled. "You care about the health of your friends don't you"Vil smiled. "Yep!"Livia grinned. "Impressive, you really thought this through"Vil chuckled. "Yeah"Livia grinned rubbing the back of her head.

"Next question"Vil chuckled. "If you were to join any other dorm besides Diasomnia which would you choose?"Vil asked. "Hm...a different dorm huh?"Livia muttered. "Scarabia"Livia answers looking at him. "Scarabia? Why that dorm?"Vil says curiously. "I wanna learn about different dormitories! I was told about the history behind each Dormitory except Scarabia"Livia explains grinning again. "I asked Kalim but he gets distracted still and Jamil is always so busy..."Livia sighed shaking her head. "I see"Vil nodded understanding now. "Besides Kalims parties are pretty fun and I'd be able to practice my dance moves, the sand would prove upmost useful in me becoming a better dancer, it'd make my movements feel lighter and I'd be able to better myself"Livia smiled.

"That is a good reason"Vil nodded looking thoughtful about it. "Well that's the major reason for me going, but a minority reason is because I wanna keep an eye on Jamil since the whole incident"Livia nodded. "I don't trust Jamil, but at the same time I do, me and Azul are protective of Kalim, we can't be around him at all times but that doesn't mean we won't be there"Livia went on. Vil chuckled and nodded. The interview went on, Livia answering Vil's questions with ease, putting some insight into the reason behind her choices. "Alright that concludes the interview!"Vil smiled. "Time for the good fortune?"Livia grinned. "Yep!"Vil nodded. "Hit me with your best shot, Vil!"Livia grinned. "Very well! LIVIA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"Vil laughed. Livia laughed, getting hit with the whipped cream pie. She grabbed one, Vil locking her in an embrace, her arm in the air still holding the cream pie as the two laughed.

I haven't done a reading log update in a while, but that's mostly because I have been struggling to finish books for the last few months (finish much of anything tbh. College and volunteering keeping me busy)

Some books I've finished mostly-recently:

Kindred by Butler: I found this a lot more meaningful a read than Parable. The characters and their relationships carry the entire story, which is... a lot different than Parable lol. And it opens SO STRONGLY. It's harrowing, and painful, and masterfully paced, and I love the main character Dana so, so much. I don't feel like I can speak much on this book considering the subject matter, but I do think it is one of the most thoughtfully written novels about trauma bonding (in a VERY specific context of Black people living under white supremacy and colonialism , and slavery in specific) I have read.

Jamaica Inn by du Maurier: I finished this like, yesterday, and I have mixed thoughts. When I first started reading it I was super engaged and speeding through it- it has all the baggage you'd expect from a white upper-class writer from 1930s Britain, but I liked the flow of the prose, and I really liked Mary as a protagonist, her drive toward action and her response to trauma, to the trauma her aunt is going through (though I also have thoughts there about the number of times her aunt is compared to a child.) I did think it was interesting that the novel is basically about the misogyny women must live through from men, even while it's bogged down by the author's own misogyny unquestioningly regurgitated as basic truths throughout the text.

But the last bit was just kind of ehhhh. There's a lot of very uncomfortable ideas around "evilness" being an immutable quality you are born with, something genetic (the Merlyns... even though Mary rides off with Jem Merlyn in the end, the fact he's "tainted" by his bloodline is never really contested, she just decides she'd rather risk the unpredictability of life with a criminal man that go back to the comfort and safety of her birth village), and (visible) disability being a sign of "evilness" and depravity (what the FUCK was up with the plot twist with the albino pastor being a secret evil pagan lmao lmao I thought it was interesting he was being framed as sexually predatory given he was the religious leader of a village and well-respected, albeit also impossible to trust due to the albinism being "sinister" and "abnormal" and "inhuman," but then sike, he's just an evil pagan wannabe. I guess to a contemporary reader the albinism alone would have been a sign he's not a truly moral upstanding Christian like he tries to appear as? idk)

Also there's a lot of racist elements to how Mary's uncle is described on top of the "he's evil because his father was evil because his father was evil etc" shit. (He's a white Brit but the language used....) and there are like several really erotically charged scenes where he shows mary how easy it'd be for him to sexually violate her, which is, well, something.

i don't regret reading it, I think it did illuminate a lot of why some trends in M/F romantic fiction exist. but jeez. a lot of thoughts.

i always writ ethe most about books i didn't like!!!

I've also been reading a lot of books about... whaling lol specifically in the context of 19th century US history.

The one book I finished was:

Black Hands, White Sails: The Story of African-American Whalers by Patricia McKissack and Frederick McKissack: TBH I only finished this because it's very short. I didn't realize it was "juvenile nonfiction" when I checked it out (not surprising actually, Patricia McKissack was a famous children's book author and wrote some of MY favorite childhood Royal Diaries books), so the writing is very simple, brief, doesn't go into too much detail about anything, and does try to present history almost like a storybook "narrative" to keep a child reader's attention. It's not badly written but it was not what I was hoping for or really want to read as an adult lol

I do think this was a good introduction to a history I have never once read about though- that is, the history of African-American men and women in the US whaling industry, how the whaling industry was inextricably linked to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and also to abolition efforts, and the little-acknowledged-in-the-modern-day racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of whaling crews. It was one of the few occupations willing to hire free Black Americans, and also one of the few that people who escaped slavery had a chance of being hired onto with little questions asked (heavily due to the fact the early whaling industry formed in Nantucket which was a Quaker stronghold. And also heavily due to the fact they basically had to put up with insane amounts of economic exploitation if they didn't want to end up back in slavery.)

I think this is also a good intro to whaling as an industry in general. And it has a very good bibliography.

Besides this, I checked out a bunch of ancient tomes from the 1920s or earlier about whaling history from the public library, and some primary sources from my college's library (the journal of Mary Chapman Lawrence, a "whaling wife," and the journal of Nelson Cole Haley, a harpooner.) But I have... not made much progress on them cus I'm bogged down on other things. oops.

February Reads

Billionaire Darling by Amelia Lark (7/10) Another ARC read from an indie author. I haven't read a billionaire romance in a while so I was quite excited to get back into it. It was a classic trope of grumpy x sunshine, enemies to lovers. However, I wasn't too fond of the characters being childish. It made sense that the billionaire, Leo, was scared of being used for his money while the sunshine, Aurora, will do anything to restore her father's hotel, but I wasn't a fan of the instalove attraction. And after their night together, one person will always retract and it continues as a circle which is the infamous miscommunication trope being used, but that irritated tf out of me. When they finally get together, the old problem arises and I genuinely did not care if they got together at that point. Starting off, I was so excited since it was a small town backing the FMC up because it reminded me of Final Offer, but the scene and FMC reminded me of The Fine Print, and I wasn't really into it.

Unsteady by Peyton Corinne (7.9/10) I picked up this book not being 100% into it so that would explain the lower rating. But also, this is about a golden retriever hockey captain x black cat figure skater so it makes sense as that is not directly up my alley. However, in comparison to Icebreaker, I understood the FMC, Sadie's problem. Also, the golden retriever boyfriend was so precious that I just wanted to love and hug him. He, Rhys, went through a devestating injury on the ice that makes him struggle mentally, and she's his clutch. However, she's dealing with so much more than just on the ice. She is unlikable at times because she's honestly so rude to others for no reason, but then I remember what she's going through, and I'm like ehhhh, okay, I guess. Overall, I loved the MMC, but the FMC was eh. Solid story though, esp. since it's Corinne's debut.

The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Salomon (9/10) I truly liked this one. I might be late for the trend, but this one had me so invested. This book follows Shay, a millennial, and Dominic, a fresh out of grad school Gen-Z'er. They are enemies at the radio station they work at and get casted to host a show where they are exes. Oh, my god, not only is Dominic Asian, but the man can literally exist, not say a single thing, and he will have my complete heart. And there's also a slight grumpy/sunshine trope which really isn't because Dominic isn't grumpy-- he's just shy, and Shay is nice, but she's not that annoying to the point where she acts like a child. Another thought about it is Shay's friend, Ameena, was fucking annoying for what she did to Shay. Like she didn't do anything per se, but she made Shay feel so shitty about living her life the way she wants to, comfortable.

Devious by Jess Savage (7.8/10) This was a let down from how excited I was. I feel like I should've left it where the last book stopped with a belief of happy ever after, because it ended with another cliffhanger. In this book, we got to know Ella more, which is what I hoped for in the first book, but Ella was such an unlikable character. Like it was clear she had some issues that needed to be resolved on her end. The book was just Ella being a brat and being vague about her not wanting Hailey to fuck Jack, while Jack was being adorable. I had to remind myself multiple times that these are 18 year olds.

First Down by Grace Reilly (6/10) Not really for me. Yeah, it's a sports romance, and it's a college romance, but the insta-attraction threw me the fuck off. The characters James and Bex (stupid name tbfh) got together by like 40% even though they're fake dating like.... now what... Maybe I'm just a trend girlie because I was into the football scene in college, but I am now in my hockey era and don't think football's all that. BUT something didn't sit right with me regarding James, the MMC. First off, he transferred from another school and stayed QB, which I don't know much about but that seemed odd as fuck. Then he goes and calls it HIS TEAM to his teammates as if most of them haven't made their home at the team and school 3 years before he even stepped foot over. Also, his appearance wasn't really described other than he has dark hair and is tall (also implied that he is clean shaven and is skinny) but that's all. How is that attractive tbh, and the ego on the man is insane. Though rightfully bc of his status, but his looks??? Idk man, and bro hasn't gotten pussy in a while. Another case of poor girl meets rich boy. Boo fucking hoo.

Daddies’ Girl by Calista Jane (6/10) The spice was there, and it was a good filler chapter to the BDSM, but other than that, nothing really happened. Beside that, it's like a "what if I". It does leave your mind wondering what else is to happen, but I was bored reading it. Another case of damsel in distress.

A Healing Touch by Melissa A. Hanson (7/10) This is another ARC read. I want to dock points because I was led to believe this was a romance when it is more of a mystery/thriller, but that isn't really fair. The story is really emotional because Natasha is dr*gged and r*ped. She doesn't know who it is, and the book is a journey of her finding herself again, finding love in the cold world, and finding out who did it. Troy, the MMC's story is kind of weird, but he's her person because he, or his sister, has gone through the same thing. The grammar was an issue that I caught in the book and was mildly annoying, but it didn't take away my understanding of the book. The long chapters was also very unlikable, but overall, it was a good read.

Unravel Me by Becka Mack (8/10) I had so much fun with this book. I usually hate the instalove/attraction trope, but this one was acceptable. Adam is such a lovable and acceptable MC. Rosie, our FMC, just wanted to fully be loved, and they found each other at the perfect time. They are made for each other. The thing that pissed me off honestly was the "hidden identity" aspect because Adam was lying when he said he worked with athletes but he did let it go too long. Rosie was mad which made me mad, but also, I get that she gets the feeling she's being cheated on so like I can't really be mad. This book wasn't perfect, but it's not far from it. Somehow, Adam went from being lonely to being in a family of 5 within a year. Love that for them.

Bleeding Hearts by Jess Taylor (6.8/10) Like it wasn't horrible nor did I HATE it, but also, I was so freaking bored. This was another book I picked up blindly from Tiktok because I am so down bad with the brother's best friend trope. Not only was Demi a freaking child whose story was basically just her going through emotional trauma at home and acts out, going to live on her own. Like all of this, I'm like you go girl, but on the other side, what she does/how she lives makes no sense. It's like a child wrote this as everything I want. The MMC, Asher, is a fuckboy so Demi befriends him knowing nothing can come of it. There was nothing wrong with Asher, but it was just Demi that bothered me sm. Anyway, the whole book and everything is aesthetic looking, but sadly, the content is not up to par.
