I wonder if this is picking up on the Wild Sign epilogue?
Montana?? Does that mean Bran and Leah? Watch me living off this dream for the next 8 months only for Leah to be offhandedly mentioned in one (1) sentence and that’s it 😂
Well anyway I’m hype haha.

Kate Daniels series vs the Mercy Thompson series.
While I have criticisms of the Kate Daniels series, it’s a much better series because Ilona Andrews isn’t afraid to give the female characters that surround Kate (Andrea, Julie, Erra etc) some shine. Kate as a character does have some Mary-Sue/ special snowflake tendencies but it’s not so overwhelming that i start to dislike her. I never felt like the author has written Kate as being the only women in a sea of men. There are antagonistic female characters in the series that don’t feel like caricatures but Kate is also surrounded by a well written female cast that don’t feel shoehorned in.
In contrast to the Mercy Thompson series where it feels like the author doesn’t want the surrounding female side characters to shine or get glory. The only exceptional women in the room can be Mercy and every women is out to belittle her, put her down or kill her. People rightly criticize the Anita Blake series but the Mercy Thompson series is very similar. Christy is a caricature and a trope that you see utilized in this genre alot. Using the ex wife/girlfriend to uplift the heroine and her relationship with the hero. Mary Jo and Aurielle are not villains but they are antagonistic and the author seems to make them fine with Mercy one second then turn on her in another. The same with Honey. She’s wishy washy and there’s no warmth there. Her mother Margi. Evelyn her foster mother barley gets mentioned. Her step sisters. Leah. Supposedly all of the women in Aspen Creek (which i don’t believe thats possible). It’s nonsensical. I’m not against antagonistic or villainous women. In fact i like it when an author has a diverse and well written female cast but when you have a protagonist who is a woman written by a woman and she’s held up as something special by nearly all the males around her and disliked by the women, i can’t help think that this is a wish fulfillment self insert by the author.

Re-reading Soul Taken and you know what's always the creepiest part about Mercy Thompson novels? When she's mind controlled by magic (again). Because she doesn't know she's mind controlled and it's all from her POV and it's so creepy because we the readers realise she's mind controlled but she doesn't. Creepy as hell.

ME: I want to go curl up and read a good book until bed. I've got three new ones from the bookstore the other day waiting for me. ALSO ME: I'm going to go re-read a twelve-thirteen book series, and get no sleep while I am at it.

New commission (finally non-acotar lol) from the amazing @/jacqueillustrates on ig ❤️
I'm so excited to share this piece of Mercy Thompson from the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I read this series for the first time as a teenager and I unironically think about it every single day. I love Mercy's toughness and resilience so much; she's forever one of my all-time favorite characters and she deserves the world🥺

“We are not pack. We are not all good friends. Mostly we are polite enemies. When a fae dies, if it is not one of power—who are valuable to us, just because there are so few left—if it is not someone who has family or allies with power, mostly other fae look upon that death with a sigh of relief. First, it was not they who died. Second, it didn’t cause anyone else harm, and that fae is no longer free to make alliances with someone who might be an enemy.”

I NEED someone to validate my leah and bran cornick fancast of tom and zendaya
Okay first of all SO jazzed that someone is coming to me with Bran and Leah fancasting. Let’s get some photos up in here, and to really play into the Cornick fantasy I’m gonna try to find ones where Tom isn’t looking at Zendaya like she hangs the moon. (As anyone would, really)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love that Zendaya means Leah is a tall glamazon she deserves to be
Love that Bran is shorter than Leah. Man was born in antiquity, even if he was tall then there’s no way he’s tall now
Tom definitely fits the “could be your pizza delivery boy” and “everyone’s favorite friendly Marrok” vibes Bran likes to project
My big question is, could Tom pull off the darker dictatorial and manipulative sides of Bran? Would I believe him when he brushes Leah off in public? When Charles defers to his will? It’s hard for me to imagine because my brain auto jumps to Spider-Man and “oh gee Mr. Stark” haha.
Final conclusion: I may not be 100% sold, but I definitely want to see that screen test now

You know
I will give this to the Mercy Thompson books. The werewolf stuff may be silly. But by God it's consistent.

I love that Leah is full of anger and spite and offends the readers expectations because lets be honest alot of the readers self insert themselves onto the heroines Anna and Mercy. Leah is the anti-heroine. She's the anti Anna/Mercy. The anti special snowflake.She's a good person at her core but sometimes acts out on her darker/negative feelings which gives her personality more depth, grit and realism unlike Anna or Mercy in my opinion.
The suffering and hardships that she has endured with the Singer and with Bran. The world has fucked her over and she's not what society expects of a victim to be and to act like. She's spiteful, hard, cold and mean and i love that.
That's the kind of character that keeps me interested and invested in a long standing series. Too bad that she's a minor background character. She would make an interesting protagonist unlike the cookie cutter and predictable protags that Anna and Mercy are.
I hope that Patricia Briggs does her and Bran's characters justice in the future.
