Notes: This mentions the latest spoilers for JJK 236. It's supposed to be a bit of comfort after it. I hope this is in character and that you enjoy it. Please tell me what you think.
tagging @nejires-hado and @bisexualterror since I know they're just as upset lol
Below the cut contains spoilers. You've been warned.
You wake up with a gasp. Your heart pounds in your chest as you struggle to breathe. Tears are already falling.
“Hey,” a soft voice calls out from next to you. You feel someone touch your back. “Hey, hey, you alright?”
You turn to the voice. Satoru’s eyes seem to glow in the dark as he looks at you, half asleep even in his concern. For a moment, he doesn’t look real. You can almost see him as a ghost, remnants left over from the dream you had. The one where he was…
You lunge towards him, hitting infinity for a second in his surprise before it releases and you fall into his chest. You clutch at him tightly. The tears fall harder until you find yourself sobbing into his chest. It felt so real.
Satoru wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer into his chest. He moves you until your legs are across his lap and he’s sitting with his back against the headrest. He hums slightly as his hand rubs your back, waiting until you’ve calmed down enough.
“Bad dream?” he asks, his voice already sounding teasing.
You nod against his chest, unwilling to give him any space.
“Going to tell me about it?”
You mumble it into his chest.
“Hmm?” he asks, his finger tracing up your spine. “Can’t hear you, darling, when you’re talking into my chest.” He reaches for your face, moving it away just enough so he can tilt it up to face him. “Well?”
“You died.”
“What?” he laughs at that.
Your throat tightens and you can’t help but start to cry again. He’s not taking you seriously. The dream felt real. It felt so real and all you could do was watch.
“Hey,” he keeps his voice soft. “I’m sorry, it’s just-” he cuts himself off. “How’d it happen?” His hand is stroking up and down your back again.
“Sukuna,” you mutter.
He laughs again. “Oh, darling…” he drawls. “You know I’m the strongest. Sukuna has nothing on me.”
“He was stronger,” your voice breaks as you say it. “You didn’t–”
“It wasn’t real,” he cuts you off.
“But–”
He reaches up and cups your chin, fingers digging into your cheeks. “It wasn’t real,” he repeats, sounding unusually serious. “Nothing happened to me, sweet thing.”
You glare up at him, eyes still shining with tears. It still doesn’t feel like he’s taking you seriously. He doesn’t understand the way your heart felt like it stopped, the way he was there and then wasn’t and Sukuna was just gloating.
“Darling, I told you. I’m the strongest. Nothing will happen.” He bends towards you slightly, lips brushing your cheek as he lets go. “I’m fine.”
“It felt real,” you say, voice insistent.
“I’m real.” He tilts your face up again, thumb stroking your cheek. “Want me to show you?” he grins at you. He kisses you gently. “I’m okay,” he says, kissing your cheek again. He kisses the other side of your face, before moving to the tip of your nose, your eyes…his pace increasing until you can’t help but laugh, shoving him away as he tries to lay kiss after kiss on your face.
“Saturo!” you laugh, “stop!”
“What? It got you to smile, didn’t it?” he teases.
You stare at him for a moment before you turn away, the memory of the dream still lingering.
“Come on…” he drawls before pulling you closer. “I’m alive. Let me prove it.”
You push him away but he doesn’t let go. “You don’t get it.” How could he understand the fear you felt? The way you saw him…
He presses his mouth against yours, kissing you softly at first as his hand moves to the back of your neck to tilt your head for better access. You hold him tightly, afraid that if you let go, it’ll somehow turn real. The kiss deepens and he moves you with ease until you’re straddling his waist. His arm wraps around you until your chest is pressing against his and the kisses are turning desperate. He doesn’t complain. You feel him smile against your lips as you both break apart long enough to breathe.
“I’m not leaving you,” he promises.
“You don’t know that,” you say softly.
“I do,” he nods. “I’m never wrong, after all.”
You roll your eyes, annoyed at the way he’s still too cavalier about it. “You’re always wrong,” you point out.
“What? Impossible. I’m Gojo Satoru, after all.”
“You tried to convince me that daifuku was one of the main food groups today,” you point out dryly.
“And it is! Just because the general public has yet to realize..”
You smile at that, trying to hold back from laughing at the expression on his face. You look up, catching the soft expression on his face. “What?”
“Think I prefer you like that instead of your tears.”
“Yeah?” you ask softly, leaning forward to rest your face in the crook of his neck.
“Of course,” he says. “Especially when they’re caused by something I can’t fight. All I can do is ease your worries.”
“You cause my worries,” you point out, wincing as soon as you say it.
“Yeah,” he says softly. His hand slips under your shirt, fingers stroking the skin of your waist gently.
You sit up to look at him. “You ease them too,” you insist. “I trust you, Satoru.”
“Then trust that I’m alive and here with you, okay?”
“Okay,” you agree, voice quiet.
“You can’t get rid of me that easily.”
“Because you’re Gojo Satoru?”
He kisses you again, taking his time to memorize the feeling of your lips against his. When this kiss breaks, he rests his forehead against yours. His gaze is soft but intense, as if he’s trying to make you understand something he has yet to give words to.
“Because I’m yours.”

peekaboo, i see you ( a spark snapshot )
fandom: elvis presley | elvis ( 2022 )
rating: g
pairing: elvis presley ( fameless big daddy electrician/handyman ) x female original character ( lilly )
word count: 978
warnings: babies and toddlers being toddlers. a bit of baby talk. brief references to the past. this is tame, y'all. this is me being attacked by pictures and then oopsies i wrote it.
author's note: welcome to what happens when people send me pictures of people with babies and i have fluff on the brain. as always special thanks to marina, christi and birdy for being my wives who made this possible in the first place. though this fic is a surprise to everyone today. but this is what you have to look forward to once i get the headcanons up. me just doing this sort of thing.
special additional thanks to my baby girl bri who provided the first pic in the moodboard that caused this little snapshot. and thank you bee who gave me a quick read and reassured me it's not spoilers if i already mentioned in an ask that they have babies.
They're going to be late again.
Somehow, some way they're going to be late again. It ought to be embarrassing, Elvis thinks, how he's gone from a mostly punctual bachelor to a married man who can't be on time to save his or anyone else's life. Except, he figures that's what having kids does to you. He figures that's what happens when you have complete and utter joy in your life for the first time in so long. Figures it's what happens when your wife is a natural born mother, a maternal figure meant to have her own babies. Meant to cook as many buns as the lord sees fit to give them or as many buns as she wants. Corralling Jesse and Garon for church is not an easy task for Lilly as her belly swells more and more with their latest little bun- one Lilly swears is a girl that they're going to name Samantha- and Elvis takes it upon himself to deal with his two boys leaving yittle Miss Gladys in her capable hands. What he always forgets week after week until he hears the coos and the giggles from the front room of his little house is that his yittle Gladys and his lil darlin is that they're a force to be reckoned with when it comes to distraction. At least today Gladys has on shoes, a step up from last week when his girls were both showing off their little sooties to each other and giggling high pitched squeals of delight.
Gladys being able to stand as well as she can is a new thing for them but even as she's slowly mastered the art she still needs to hold onto something, too scared of falling on her little behind. When it comes to today she's chosen the curtain as both her item to steady her and her item to tease her mother with. The boys are quiet for once as their daddy stops in the doorway of the room to watch their mother and their sister play on the window sill.
"Where's my wittle Gladdy? Where's my glad wittle baby girl?" Lilly coos as Gladys moves the curtain over to hide behind it. "Oh no! I lost my baby girl! Maybe wittle Garon knows where his sissy went."
As if that's the cue, Gladys pops up from behind the curtain with a semi toothy grin and a noise that sounds like a giggle and a kiss all in one. "Mmm!"
Lilly feigns shock, before planting a kiss on Gladys's forehead and tickling her sides. "There you are! You hiding from Mommy? Hiding from mmmm?"
A nod with giggles is the only answer she gets back with a headbutt and more mmm's and kisses being given by Gladys. Lilly swears her heart is fit to burst the more kisses her first born daughter gives her and the more she hears her try and get out that first syllable to say mama. This is- she can't believe she thought this dream was as forgone as it was. Sometimes she can't believe that after everything with her and Elvis that they have what they have. That she had that first little boy of theirs and her twins and now this little one coming sooner rather than later. It makes her feel so warm from more than just the sunlight beaming on her through the window. As if to remind her that she's there, their latest child- their latest bun to be cooking inside her rolls, seemingly wishing they could play with their sibling.
"Calm down Samantha. You'll be here soon enough. I'll play peekaboo with you too. I'll lose both my wittle girls." Lilly murmurs rubbing her belly as Gladys tries to headbutt her only for Lilly to catch her and stand her back upright, grabbing the curtain in her own hands and hiding behind it. "Oh no, Gladys, where did mama go? Can you find me?"
Elvis takes a look at his watch and sighs, noticing they'll be at least ten minutes late and heaving himself off the wall, Jesse and Garon toddling along behind him, hands interlocked. Elvis grabs Jesse's hand to make a bit of a line and walks slowly to Lilly. Her giggles make sneaking up on her easy until he places a kiss to her hair and the boys grab at her legs.
"We're gonna be late, Lil," his voice is a murmur and should be admonishing but he can't keep the love and fondness out of it. "We can play later."
Gladys and Lilly both look up at him with nearly identical pouts and Elvis almost breaks then and there before shaking his head, "oh no you two don't. I ain't fallin' for those eyes from the both o'ya."
Lilly manages a sigh and turns her pout to Gladys, "we tried Gladdy, didn't we? Daddy's just being silly. We'll get him back won't we. When he's asleep."
It occurs to Elvis that he should be terrified of the way Gladys grins at Lilly, like they've hatched some nefarious plot to murder him in his sleep and instead all he does smile back at her. "Death by a baby and m'wife. Can think o'worse ways to go." Elvis lifts Gladys off the sill and sets her down on the ground before holding out his free hand to hoist Lilly up out of the chair. "Come on you three, let's get going. Already got the boys lined up. Grab Garon's hand, Gladdy."
As they watch Gladys toddle to her twin, Lilly gives Elvis a soft kiss and grabs Elvis's hand. "And I get to grab Daddy's?"
A hum is all that leaves Elvis mouth as he smiles, squeezing Lilly's hand once they leave the house. "Still gonna be ten minutes late. Gotta good reason t'give 'em this time, darlin'?"
"Peekaboo."

@jayliescreations "Hi, I might be awfully dense but could you confirm (in your opinion) that 1) Theory that Moiraine is 70 applies only to the show and does not fit the books chronology and 2) that it comes from Moiraine’s young sister now visibly much older than her (or from something else?) and 3) that theory implies that Moiraine didn’t necessarily leave the Tower when she just got the shawl but up to 30 years after that?"
Putting this under a cut because there are book spoilers and I'm afraid I don't know if you've finished the series or not :)
You are not dense, it isn't explicitly stated how old Moiraine is in the show, but she is older - that's not a theory. Aging up happened to several characters as confirmed by the showrunner.
Anvaere is her younger sister yet is played by an actress who is 73. Even if the character is meant to be 60 that would still mean Moiraine is older than that by virtue of being the older sister - and older by more than a few years judging by the portrait we're shown of both girls.
We know how old Moiraine is in the books - she was born in 956 NE, so she's 42 at the beginning of the series.
The foretelling happened in the show, per the wiki, on 2 Danu 978, which matches the books. In the books Moiraine was 22 and still an accepted, but the show depicts both her and Siuan in blue, not accepted white/rainbow, and by their conversation it's clear they are full sisters now.
This would make sense given that Moiraine would roughly be closer to 50 at this point in her life - there's no way she's been an accepted still at her power level.
It's more difficult to determine exactly when Moiraine started leaving the tower as the show hasn't really shown us. We know she went to Chachin as she did in New Spring, and by the time the series starts she's been away for a long time. My best guess is Siuan and Moiraine staged a breakup and at that point Siuan began maneuvering for her current position while Moiraine stayed away.
Regardless, Moiraine is at a minimum in her 60s, but likely 70s, in the show. At the time of the foretelling she was a full sister. But after that the show has not delved much deeper into what happened right after - probably because they're got so much to tell us already and the exact year Moiraine left isn't as important in the grand scheme of things.
Anyway, hope that clears it up :)

Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But can he also live up to his other accolade of world’s greatest dad?
Being a father to an endless supply of adopted, fostered, and biological children is its own challenge. But when you’re Batman, surrounded by a slew of super-powered (and not) teenagers, you’ll need every bit of your intellect to manage the brood.

In this continuing story, we are greeted by a few newcomers, including Catwoman, Superboy, Impulse, Wonder Girl, and other well-known faces from Gotham City and beyond in stories about dating, learning to drive, going on patrol, and simply what it means to be a teenage superhero.
Written by CRC Payne with inks by Starbite, this volume collects episodes 26-51 of WEBTOON’s Eisner-nominated series, optimized for a brand-new reading experience in print. Includes never-before-seen bonus content from the creators themselves!

This is my entry for the @zelinkcommunity 2023 Zelink week! This would have included an AO3 link, but since the site is down I will update the post with it later.
WARNING: STORY TAKES PLACE DURING TEARS OF THE KINGDOM AND INCLUDES MAJOR SPOILERS FOR IT
Title: Both Here and 100,000 Years Away
Words: 978
Rating - G
Happy readings to you all!
Link woke in his bed in his new home in Akkala. He stretched as he got up, savoring the morning, even if he had a lot to do today. But he liked his new home. It was nice and he liked that he got to make it himself, to a degree. Not that he disliked his home in Hateno, but this… this was nice. Especially as he found himself usually sleeping in a stable or in the wilds again as he tried to save Hyrule from its newest disaster. A bed was nice, especially a new bed, since…
He shook the thought out of his head and quickly got dressed and readied himself for the day. He made a quick breakfast that he shoveled into his mouth before he grabbed his weapons and burst out the door. It was usually breezy and today was not an exception. He took a second to admire the mountainous view, looking over the small Terry Town he had helped build years ago. He smiled as he looked down at it. He was glad he had helped Hudson and that his family and his community was thriving.
He was smiling to himself as he thought about as his eyes wandered over to the construction site below it and then up the mountains. He looked over the mountains, his eyes wandering upward to the sky where he froze.
She was passing through the sky above him. The Light Dragon… Zelda. As it often did when he saw her shining form dancing across the sky, The Master Sword on his back felt heavier. He couldn’t stop himself from gazing at her as she slowly made her way across the Akkala sky. His beautiful, beautiful Zelda… somehow both here and 100,000 years away.
Before he had witnessed her final memory, seen the vision of her swallowing her stone to provide the power the Master Sword needed to both recover from the gloom that Ganondorf had struck it with, but to be strong enough to defeat him, he had always felt the Light Dragon filled him with a sense of comfort and ease. Now Link understood that was Zelda. That her spirit was still watching over them, even now, uncounted milenia after she had lost her mind to becoming a dragon for Hyrule… for him.
Though Link did not want to lose himself in the memories of it all, he could not stop them as they washed over him. He thought to the days they spent in Hateno village, how Zelda had gently made his house a home for the two of them. He thought of holding her tight as they slept in their bed, never getting as peaceful a sleep as when they were holding each other through the night. He wrapped his arms around himself as he thought of even last night, as he had to force himself to sleep even as his bed felt cold and empty without her, even in a bed she’s never seen, let alone one he had shared with her.
He missed her laugh. He missed her coming to him in the night with a notebook and excited words with a breakthrough she had neglected her sleep to achieve. He missed having to gently remind her it could wait for the morning as he guided her to bed where she would still excitedly speak about her research before she would gently drift off to sleep. He missed running after her in the wilds as she found something she wanted to document or capture, writing down notes excitedly.
He looked back up to the light dragon as she passed over him more closely. He saw into those wide purple eyes, where he saw no hints of the woman he loved within them. She seemed as if she was really gone… He wondered if it would have almost been better that she died rather than being trapped in the form she was currently in.
Could Impa or Purah really think of a way to change her back? Was such a thing even possible? And what would she be like if they even could reverse the effects of swallowing her sacred stone? What if… what if she could not remember him? What if they brought her back, but her memories were gone, just like his were when he was resurrected. Even now, years later, many things were hazy when he tried to recall them.
And if she did remember everything… would she forgive him? It was his fault all this had happened. If had been stronger, if he had been faster, if he would have caught her, she would have never had to make such a sacrifice. He could have prevented all this pain, if he had only been better. What kind of a knight could he call himself after failing her again?
Would… would she even still love him?
Link heard a weird noise and it brought him out of his drowning thoughts. He looked around and heard it again, though this time he felt it as well as heard it. Oh… he put his hand to his face, feeling the tears that were streaming down him. I’m crying… The sound came again and he realized it was him sobbing. He took a steadying breath as he tried to calm himself. He looked back up to the sky to see Zelda’s form beginning to retreat. Though he was able to calm his breathing, his tears still flowed.
Goddesses he missed her. Din, Nayru, Farore, and Hylia herself did he miss her. He would give anything to see her smile once more.

Calmness of the rain
Pairing : Scaramouche x reader
Gender of reader : ambiguous, not mentioned
Genre : Fluff, (another) Modern AU, Established relationship
CW : None, just the use of Scaramouche's real name! So spoilers for that!
Word count : 978
Not proofread! Apologies for any mistakes! I will edit when I feel bothered!
A/N : Just procrastinating from writing Xiao Can't Communicate hehe... Listen to rain sounds while reading this, it'll set the scene~ or don't ^u^ this also took 2 hours to write... A tiktok with rain in it inspired me
___
You let out a quiet huff as you looked up at the cloudy dark night sky, rain pouring heavily down on your clear umbrella and the now soaking pavement beneath you. The streets of Inazuma city were void of people, street lights were on and no cars roaring to life as they were still silently sitting on the side of the road. You adjusted the plastic white bag full of snacks and drinks in your left hand while you held your umbrella loosely with the other. The rain was unexpected, though not unwelcome as the calming downpour seemed to relax you after a stressful day.
If it were every other day, or night, you’d be rushing home to your apartment to turn on the kettle for your ramen in a cup with a glass of your favourite beverage. But tonight, you felt like you could take it easy on the way back home. It wasn’t that cold tonight, only being mid spring and eight o’clock in the evening, but cold enough to wear a loose jacket.
You mosey on down the street with the amber street lamps illuminating your path, there was a slight bounce in your step as you thought of many ways to describe the rain with a content sigh. Gentle, pattering, soothing, excessive, pelting... Soaking...
A soaking Kunikuzushi was what you spotted from under the shelter of a closed shop while muttering profanities under his breath as he tried to wring out the rain water from oversize black shirt that had some band logo on. His matching colour loose calf length shorts were equally wet which was sticking to his legs. Were those sandals?
To be fair, it was hot and sunny in the morning so you couldn’t blame him for his outfit choice.
“Well look at you.” You snickered, catching the angry man off guard. His indigo blue eyes widening and snapped onto your completely dry form. Something that he wished was right now instead of being caught in the rain after work. “You’re wet through.” You state the obvious.
Kunikuzushi rolled his eyes and scoffed, “No actually, I’m completely dry, thank you very much.” He flicked some of his dripping wet hair from his eyes while huffing out a string of unpleasant words about how he was soaked to the bone.
You gave him a nudge to get his attention back on yourself and earning a half-hearted glare. “Come to my place and we can dry you off.” And just as he was about to protest about not needing help, you reminded him, “Do you want to freeze? You’re shaking.”
Your boyfriend huffed once again and complied, muttering a small ‘fine’.
And with that, the both of you continued the journey down the street your apartment block with Kuni under the umbrella with you. The relaxing rain wasn’t completely ruined when Kunikuzushi around, only him mumbling more profanities and complaining about the rain. You wished to shut him up, but you’d only get more complaints.

Once entering through your apartment door, you slid your shoes off and told Kunikuzushi to wait while you get a towel to dry him off. When you returned, you began drying his hair gently; making sure to not let it drop any more water. You then began rubbing his arms and neck dry as well as briefly dabbing his face with the towel.
“You know I can do this myself, right?” Kuni reminded you softly with a small pout, feeling a little bit happier now that he was inside a warm home. His face began heating up as you made sure he wouldn’t trail water in your home. If you looked at him, he would avoid eye contact and act like he wasn’t bothered.
You gave him a shrug, giving him a loving smile. Yes, he was a pain in the ass, but that didn’t stop you from taking care of him and making sure he wouldn’t get sick. (That wasn’t partly because of the promise you made to his mother, but because you genuinely love this moody, stone in the shoe human). “Yeah, but I want to do it. Is that not okay? I can stop.” You teased playfully, pulling on the softness of his rosy cheeks – which got you a whine and a protest.
“That’s not what I said.” Kuni pouted, taking a hold of your wrist gently that was pinching his face and instead let you cup his face carefully. Albeit being damp and still a bit cold, Kunikuzushi enjoyed soft moment like these where he doesn’t have to worry about work or stress or anything. Instead, he could just focus on you. Just you and your comforting hugs. Your light kisses. Your annoying teases. Your warmth. Your so, totally, very (not) annoying voice which he claims to find irksome. Don’t tell him otherwise. He’ll deny the fact that he could listen to your voice for hours on end.
And don’t tell him about that blush on his cheeks and his lovey-dovey eyes he always gives you, while watching you finish drying him up. He’ll call you delusional and that you’re seeing things.
Though, he wouldn’t deny when you call him out when you always hear him say ‘I love you’ every night over the phone or sharing a bed when he thinks you’re asleep. Because why lie when he truly does love you? He doesn’t want you to feel like he doesn’t care and leave you all by yourself like his mother did when he was small (he understands that she was depressed because she lost her sister – his aunt – but it still hurt).
“Let’s run you a bath. Then we can have ramen. Sound good?” You gave him a peck on the forehead before dropping your hands back down to your side; not missing the way Kuni pouted at the lost of contact.
Kunikuzushi nodded, “Yeah. Let’s do that.”

Another book down. Can't wait to start reading book #2.
_______________________________________________
Book Review
Title: Meet Me at the Summit
Author: Mandi Lynn Bell
Book Series: Road Trip Snapshot, book #1
No. of Pages: 329
ISBN: 978-1-953388-02-5
Cover design: original cover and pen name before book republishing in 2023.
Synopsis:
For most 19-year-olds, a cross-country trip is an offer you can’t refuse, but for Marly, it’s the last thing she wants after losing both her parents in a car accident. Nine months after their death, Marly would rather stay home working the retail job she hates, than deal with her loss.
It isn’t until family and friends corner her into driving her mom’s renovated 1978 VW bus from Washington to New Hampshire that Marly is forced to face her grief and understand the guilt she feels over her parents’ death. Skeptical, Marly goes on the trip, warily exploring the life her parents knew she always wanted—hiking mountains and living out her photography dreams. On the way, she’ll discover places and people who’ll test her emotions and a guy who pushes at the walls she’s so carefully built around herself. Marly must decide: can she face her deepest wounds and reclaim the life she thought was gone forever?
Meet Me at the Summit is an intimate tale of grief, finding yourself after deep loss, and coming to terms with how life changes when you least expect it. It follows Marly as she both runs from and towards the emotions she has long held back regarding her parents’ death. A deep, insightful look into the coming-of-age theme through a heart-breaking narrative.
The Road Trip Snapshot duology, book 1
_______________________________________________
What did I think of the book?
Meet Me at the Summit by Mandi Lynn Bell
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3 of 5 stars
[Spoiler warning!]
I read the companion novel/stand-alone of this series, The Trail to You & Me, at the beginning of July, and fell absolutely in love with it. So, when the other two books of the Road Trip Snapshot series finally came in the mail, I was excited, and hungry for more hiking adventures and romance.
I have to say, Meet Me at the Summit is not what I expected. There's a part of me that wishes I had read this book first before the stand-alone for the emotional context, but oh well.
This is a coming-age-of story focused on overcoming grief, loss, and finding a way to get life rolling onward again (in this case, through the awesomeness of a hiking road trip, and some romance sprinkled in the later half of the book). There are some tough lessons in this book, such as: sometimes you just have to do what you don’t want to do, or are scared of, in order to heal yourself and get things back together again. Life happens, it’s not always fun and games, and we have to learn to face it and keep living, even if it we’d rather spend the rest of our lives hiding under a pillow from it all.
It’s an emotional book, and it’s hard to not feel like tearing up with the main character as she goes through her grief at times. The scene with Marly at the Summit of Mount Washington was beautiful, sad, and possibly my favorite scene of the whole book.
The different locations described in the story were a lot of fun to search up, too. As I was reading, I told my partner, “I feel like I’m getting a tour of America with this book”, and he said “Yeah, there’s not much to see here… except everything.” Lol.
Favorite character/s:
Ethan, Marly’s uncle. I wish he was in the book more. It felt like he grounded the story nicely as an older adult in the book in the beginning.
Dylan, for the fact that he doesn’t let Marly allow her fears to consume her. How he helps her have closure at the end of the story is also touching.
What drew me to this book?
The cover design (original). I loved the color palette with the orange and blue, and the vibe of the illustration style. When I found out the author had republished the books with new covers, I hesitated on getting the books. I really liked the original covers, so I was over-the-moon happy when I heard I could still get them from the author’s website.
Stars:
3/5 because there were just a few too many hiccups with the book that affected the reading experience for me, the main one being that there was a strange lack of detail for some of the characters when they were introduced in the story, like hair color, eye color, clothes, etc., that weren’t mentioned until later on, or at times not at all.
Despite this, I would read it again in the future, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what Let the Rubble Fall will be like.

So, I’m watching EXU Calamity.
And I am going to discuss major spoilers, so be aware.
I was FURIOUS when Laerryn cast Blight on the tree. To me it seemed so obvious that it was a protection against something that to destroy it without any attempt to figure it out first was unconscionable.
And I realized I was angry. And I couldn’t figure out why.
Because it’s a story! A great story, a beautiful story, a moving story, but a story nonetheless. Why did I care so much about Laerryn’s choice? I’m normally pretty good at getting invested in a story but not letting it emotionally affect me. I don’t cry in movies. I suspect when I finish episode 4 I’m not gonna cry when everyone dies.
But I was so angry at Laerryn I had to pause the episode and do something else.
Why?
I’ve done some thought, and I think I know why.
Deeply connected to and caring of her work, above relationships. A deep desire to leave a mark on the world, to be remembered after leaving this earth. Talented and, more importantly, aware of her talents. Clutching to her work, her abilities, thinking, “It was worth it, it was worth it, it has to be worth it.” The people she’s left behind. The loves that she lost. Showing people that she cares through her abilities more than what they actually want from her (to stay, to be available, to need them). And worst of all, that single-minded drive that wants to get the most of what she needs and excluding everything else.
I saw way too much of myself in Laerryn Coramar-Seelie. And I’m not sure I loved what I saw.
If I had been in her shoes—me, who ditched my family and friends to see the world, have always been looking for more in life than simply what works, who feels fundamentally different from most people, who truly deeply cares about others but somehow can never put them above my own dreams and hopes, which is the very definition of love in most books—if I had been there, would I have done any different?
Or would I, too, in my own hubris and desperation, made the choice that seemed most right to me, and so completely missed the point?
I think I was angry because I wanted her to make the right decision, and when she didn’t, I felt afraid.

My #1 post of 2022
Okay, I’m not one for crackships as a general rule, but Fearne and Chetney are too batshit insane hilarious to not get behind. An almost-canon crackship that references Hulk and Black Widow. The wildest will-they-won’t-they between two weird old people. A 100+ year old hippie faun druid and a 400+ feral gremlin werewolf with really strong Chihuahua energy. God bless.

Kirkus reviews Frozen: Polar Nights
Review after the break in case you want to avoid any mild spoilers.
Arendelle’s winter solstice celebration is threatened when a fearsome draugr is awakened in this return to the world of Disney’s Frozen.
Determined to get everything right, Queen Anna is stressed about planning Arendelle’s Polar Nights festival, which will not only celebrate the winter solstice, but also her sister Elsa’s birthday. On a camping trip meant to get her mind off things for a bit, she, her fiance, Kristoff; his reindeer, Sven; Elsa; and snowman Olaf tell scary stories around the campfire. Kristoff tells the story of sisters Sissel and Inger and how Sissel, neighboring Vesterland’s future queen, was killed by Inger out of jealousy. It is told that Sissel became a draugr, a reanimated corpse that causes terrible storms when seeking revenge. Following the tale, a storm hits the campers, and when they return to Arendelle, Anna, Kristoff, and the townspeople’s memories are starting to fade, jeopardizing the festival plans. Drawing on Norse mythology, the draugr is fairly scary, making this novel veer at times into fantastical horror, but this element is generally tempered quickly with levity. Written with fans of the movies in mind, little worldbuilding is done, with the focus instead on the beloved, charismatic characters and their repartee as well as the sisterly ties.
Movie fans will love this next adventure. (Fantasy. 8-12)
