#I would prob read one.

[divinekangaroo]

I attempted to replay DAII a few weeks back for the pleasure/refresher of the story and the character arcs but just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Have lost lots of capacity to enjoy game mechanics which extend length of time to engage w story and notwithstanding the dialogue is quite excellent (in a game context) it’s clunky for, say, a story, and the physical/visual staging in character interactions is v dated. (Key Settings are pretty decent for symbolism tho)

and that’s when I realised the first time ever why sometimes fans *do* get interested enough to write full novelisations of a thing.

#I would prob read one. #I would prob also still be interested enough to write one if I didn’t have competing priorities #I’d still hold it needs to be aveline’s pov tho not varric #aveline’s conflicted morality as a corrupt cop favouring the criminal immigrant who saved her life and wangled her position of power #watching as that crim legitimises himself but continues to operate between the lines #because after all he’s a blood mage #gooooooooood I would want this #blood mage Hawke x Isabela who abandons him to the arishok #rivals Anders and Merrill and executes anders; mage Beth and temp carver live tho #friends/romance Fenris post Isabela and friends varric #but at the end of it Hawke cannot bring himself to support Templars and has to kill Fenris #Aveline narrative voice as if she is untouched and non influential on all this while reader can See her Hypocricy #only varric calls her out #Also can we have more Leandra being complex and hypocritical too

He looks back down at the baby – Andy – with her lick of dark hair and her splotchy pink skin. Even though she can’t be more than a month old, probably not even, the resemblance to her father – to Hob’s friend – is already uncanny. She looks imperious, a little disapproving, like she’ll nap in his arms if she has to since she doesn’t want to be rude, but privately she thinks the conditions aren’t quite befitting an infant of her station.

Hob loves her instantly, instinctively, in a way that he thinks is going to be nearly impossible to get over.

Choose your Mission Part 2

Masterlist ; Part 1

Benji Dunn and Ethan Hunt have accepted the mission. Grace has been kidnapped. Your mission should you choose to accept it is to rescue her safe and sound. You have the location of the building she is in, and infiltrate there knowing it is likely a trap. The computer turns on the moment you step close to it, showing you Grace, then it cuts to… Who?

BEFORE VOTING: People with * are extras. If any of them wins they will appear as a potentail ally/foe, and the main antagonist will be the 2nd option with most votes and no *Ex: if Alanna is 1st and then the Entity, both will appear in the story. If the Entity is 1st and Alanna second, just the Entity will appear and you won't have her as a potential ally/foe

In TWP I do hope we see more Julian with Dru and Ty with Dru

But I also hope to see Dru with Tavvy dynamic in TWP.

And I’m interested to possibly see more of Tavvy’s character (I know he’ll just be 10 but still)

But Dru is def closest with Tavvy than her other siblings as she has spent the most time with him growing up. Even though Dru is closer in age with Ty, Livvy and Julian— they were always paired up Ty+Livvy, Emma+Julian

Also in TDA from Jules’ pov Tavvy is “the baby” whereas to Dru Tavvy is more her “baby brother.” So even though Dru has taken care of Tavvy, she is not as parentified as Julian

Plus Ty moves to the scholomance and Julian starts his travel year post TDA while Dru still stays in LA with Tavvy since she still has a few years till she can attend the academy.

And it’ll still takes Tavvy and Dru time to get used to Helen and Aline so they stick together. Plus when Helen and Aline go out, Dru still hangs with Tavvy.

So yeah in TWP since Ty and Dru will be the main Blackthorn siblings (like Mark and Julian in tda) hopefully Tavvy will be the main little sibling (Like Dru in tda) and have more of a role

#i miss the blackthorns #dru and tavvy #also tavvy is my age ofc #so i need to know what I would be doing as a blackthorn sibling circa 2015 #and tavvy def looks up to dru most #he prob gets into slasher films to be like dru #and wants to read what dru reads #he’s gone through two wars before turning ten #it doesnt matter if smth is pg 13 #the exposure one gets to things they shouldnt as the youngest sibling #tavvy blackthorn #dru blackthorn #the wicked powers #the dark artifices #the shadowhunter chronicles #tsc #julian blackthorn loml #the blackthorns

It's the time of year to get really upset that Jane Austen never finished The Watsons.

It would have put the Jane Fairfax/Fanny Price Changeling Child plotline front-and-center, with a heroine who'd been adopted into high society only to be sent back to live with a lower-class family she no longer knows.

But she'd have had an Anne Elliot sister whose good-natured practicality keeps the family together even while she deals with the heartbreak of being separated from the man she once loved.

And a harpy of a sister whose machinations make everyone's lives miserable.

And a brother who's a surgeon (!) who has his own hopeless unrequited love story happening in the background.

And when their father died, the girls would have had to live with a higher-class brother and his disagreeable wife who would have found them a burden.

Meanwhile, our heroine is being pursued by a socially-awkward, proud lord who doesn't know how to discuss anything but hunting.

But she's really in love with a humble, kind curate who is devoted to caring for his widowed sister and her children.

But the curate is being romantically pursued by the lord's predatory mother.

And mixed up in all this is a charming, lively young man who uses his skills to grovel for position with his betters.

In short, we could have had Jane Fairfax and Anne Elliot as devoted sisters forced to live with John and Fanny Dashwood while their sister Lucy Steele causes problems, a Charles Musgrove version of Mr. Darcy pursues Jane, Anne gets a chance to be reunited with her Wentworth, and Jane falls in love with a Henry Tilney version of Edward Ferrars who's being pursued by Lady Susan, while Wickham is doing his best to be Mr. Collins. Plus a romance plot for a brother! We could have had a book with the family complexities and darker issues of Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park and the light, bright and sparkling humor of Pride and Prejudice.

But we don't, because she never finished it, and I'm so upset.

#the watsons #jane austen #it's a very october story so it comes to mind a lot #i've read one version that did decent things with it #(i was shocked to remember that penelope doesn't show up in austen's fragment because she's so vivid in the continuation) #but it still feels very different and much less layered than austen would have made it #i don't think it used all of her planned plot #and it skipped over almost everything but the central romance #and there's another one that i stopped reading halfway through because the author wrenched it off the austen rails #to have the curate give a long speech about how the lord's mother is actually a victim and we should pity her #and it felt so unlike what austen would have done that i've never brought myself to read further #this is prob the one austen story i'd be tempted to try my hand at if i had any skill whatsoever in that area #i would really want to try to imaginary book rec this thing into something that follows austen's style of storytelling #but i'm aware my view of austen is warped by my own preferences and i doubt i'd get any closer to the real thing than any other authors #so i just have to yearn for the imaginary version that never was

MANHWA WHY ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO LETTING THE YAOI BOYS HAVE A SEASON TO BE ESTABLISHED AND EXPLORE THEIR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.

hmm i'm getting. possibly over-ambitious. again. we'll see how this goes.

#i'm coming to the end of norse-related books i can access #(i have one more book About myths and then i'm gonna *try* reading the poetic edda D:) #but my next Project would prob be shakespeare and i'm trying to avoid that #so instead i'm like... hm... what if i read beowulf. and also the táin. and the mabinogion. and #like all of those WOULD be cool. but. they're a little off-topic from what i was doing #and i don't actually tend to get on very well with. like. *any* old books. so. ??? #We'll See. #also i'm antsy bc i don't have anything to read *right now* so i'm making Plans instead #and having to hold myself back from reversing six library books at once lmao #enough!!!

Tell me more about this book blanket? I'm Fascinated

Omg yay!! Okay so I'm knitting two rows per book that I finish in 2024, and each book rows will be a different color based on the genre it is

So here are the books I've read so far. Everything that's in bold is what I've knitted, and the last book on the list is what I'm currently reading but haven't finished yet. So I've knitted everything before Fifty Feet Down, and read everything up to Annie on My Mind, but I'm currently like thirty percent through it.

I'm choosing colors as I finish genres, and I'm trying to do it only with yarn I have (cuz yarn is expensive and I have a lot of yarn. The reason I have a lot of yarn suitable for a blanket is because I took all of this yarn from a blanket I started knitting four years ago and never finished. Like I finished frogging that blanket yesterday and made it into cakes on my new yarn winder!!) I didn't really try to make the colors fit the genres. I just own a lot of navy yarn and knew I'd read a lot of LGBTQ books, and I own a lot of black and know I'll read a lot of horror books. Then for dystopian I just chose a yarn color that I had available, same with mystery.

Here's how it's going so far! You can see the four navy rows for the two LGBTQ books i read, the two purple for the one dystopian book (which is also very good, I highly recommend Debate Kids at the End of the World and that author in general, Alex Nonymous) and then a chunk of black because I read four I. S. Belle books in a row (you can also see all of the ends I didn't weave in, which I'm going to hate myself for when I finish the blanket)

"But Austyn, what if the book is more than one genre?" I'm so glad you asked! Most of these books could be considered more than one genre. Fifty Feet Down is a mystery, but also a romance. So I just consider what genre I believe is more integral to the story, if that makes sense. Fifty Feet Down could be relatively the same if the main characters were just friends, but the story would be vastly different if it wasn't a mystery. Therefore, it gets the mystery color instead of romance. Same with all of the I. S. Belle books. There's romance in them, but if you took out the romance it would still be pretty similar, but if you took out the horror it would be an incredibly different story.

So that's my 2024 book blanket!

#im so excited about this #its so fun #i read on the subway. at work. before bed. in the morning after waking up #i get so excited to knit new rows #and buy new books #buying new books is like a little gift for me #i put my entire tbr on an online spinny wheel so if i dont know what i want to read next i can spin the wheel and itll tell me #but sometimes im craving a specific book and ill just read that next #right now i have classics such as: stone butch blues. the perks of being a wallflower. playground. manhunt. #the second ari and dante book that ive been meaning to read for months #because i pre ordered that book and ive owned it since the day it came out. and this summer i reread the first one #so that i would know whats going on in the second one. but i haven't read the second one yet #i have a long ass tbr and i swear every day i add more #but i have a whole lifetime. and a whole year. to read them. #im gonna go knit the rows for fifty feet down now (an incredible book) and then probs read some more annie on my mind #have a great night everyone!!

So damn funny to me how the dc comics' Taurudonna is completely inversed to the show

Show!Adam: my darling, I only ever wanted you by my side as we watch the world burn together

Show!Blake: we live here, you idiot

Meanwhile...

Comic!Blake: I'm not afraid of you (romantic)

Comic!Adam: cool. Didn't ask

#rwde #i drafted this way back when i first started reading the 2019 comics #dont remember why i didn't post it. think smth really big and serious was going on and i didnt want to drop a joke during it #but anyway these two can apparently never sync lmao #always gotta be cartoonishly one sided #probs bc no one can really imagine these two in a relationship. what even would their day to day look like? #i doubt theres flowers and chocolates #does adam even know how to read? if he doesnt would blake read out loud to him? #ngl the Adam in my head is basically a hybrid of vergil from devil may cry and fenris from dragon age 2 #ex slaves w cool exteriors righteous anger body tattoos and great hair #also amazing voices. i could listen to v and fenris all damn day #making adam a poet at heart or smth is basically the only way i can make taurudonna make sense #otherwise theyre gonna talk abt nothing but training and missions and shit bc thats all that every medium has to show
