been thinking of them, the sillies
like they seem pretty unidimensional at first (and they are) but they are also a lot of fun and i love how in the end they go "yup, you took us in you still the boss"
also love that siblings dynamic where thye absolutely heckle each other but stick toghetter

How do the boys like phone sex (especially when they're at work and can't leave but reade ris especially needy 😉)
Oh, Fell type boys are the best...
Break - He's into it... well... ya really wanna be spread open so's er'y'ne can see, huh? should put ya on speaker so they can all hear how hard he can make ya come with just his voice~
Edge- He takes this call in his office... And gets them aaaaaalll riled up, and then tells them they have to stop. Call back in an hour to check in (and do it again), and they aren't allowed to come til he gets home.
Mutt- He doesn't have to stay at work, what are you talking about? He can just shortcut to the lodge and take advantage of the situation they're in... lots of denial is in store for them, it seems.... until he finally allows them to come...
Black- Well.... yes, he will talk them through what he'd do if he was right there, telling them how their hand isn't as good as he'd feel filling them up, and when he got home, he'd completely wreck them, making them come so many times their muscles don't seem to function correctly anymore.

Book Recs for Science Fiction and Fantasy books with little to no romance. Because I'm tired.
(if you've got more recommendations, PLEASE share)
Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher.
Tumblr media
The main character Marra is the youngest of three daughters, a princess from a tiny, perilously placed kingdom who was sent to a convent when she was 15. It's been just as long since then, and recently she found out her older sister has for years now been abused by the prince she's married to. A prince protected by both his position and the magic of his Godmother's christening gift.
The book is about Marra going on a quest to kill the prince and save her sister.
It also contains a lot of death magic, spirits, terrible curses, impossible tasks, bone dogs, dust wives, godmothers and goblin markets. It's written like a novel but constructed like a fairytale.
Main character is neither thin nor 'pretty', which makes for a nice change of pace. Does contain a smidgen of romance but it's barely there, mostly background and never the focus, so it just doesn't get a chance to get obnoxious.
It does however get rather dark in places (think Gideon the Ninth levels).
The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley.
Tumblr media
A heavy read about the horrors of war, the ugliness of a world where capitalism and corporate monopolies have been allowed to run without opposition, and the lies those in power feed to their soldiers and civilians to make them think the atrocities justified.
The story follows Dietz, an infantry soldier who has a strange reaction to the technology that allows soldiers to be sent through insane distances by being transformed into light. It becomes quickly apparent that Dietz is experiencing the war vastly out of order, especially when Dietz starts seeing friends die before meeting them.
Very hard to read but full of impactful moments. I'd recommend listening to the audiobook if possible, it's voiced by Cara Gee (who plays Camina Drummer in The Expanse) and she does a FANTASTIC job bringing the story to life.
Characters have a lot of sex (not sex scenes as such though), but basically nearly zero romance (it's more: relieving the stress and having a human connection in the middle of war kinda deal). I do say 'nearly' zero, because the main character (who is bisexual btw) does occasionally think about an ex.
All Systems Red (and all following Murderbot books) by Martha Wells.
Tumblr media
Probably everyone and their roomba knows about this one but it would be a crime not to mention it.
Books follow Murderbot, a Rogue SecUnit who has hacked its government module (a thing that when intact, and working, would fry Murderbot's brain if it failed to follow an order). The expected result in Rogue SecUnits would be to go on a wild murder spree, but once free Murderbot discovers it can download vast amounts of TV, books, movies, music and other such stuff, it decides to consume the media instead.
'As a heartless killing machine, [it's] a terrible failure.'
Other characters around it might maybe be having romances (Murderbot isn't paying attention and it's not relevant) but if someone mentioned it having one, it would stare at them with a face drawn in horror, and probably never talk to them again.
The voice of Murderbot is humorous and awesome. Recommend these books to EVERYONE. Absolutely everyone.
Sisters of the Vast Black (and the book following) by Lina Rather.
Tumblr media
Follows the Sisters of the Order of Saint Rita. The setting is a future where people have expanded far into the galaxy, some decades after the last time the Central Governance tried to keep power over the colonies.
The Sisters in question travel in a living ship (the absolute coolest ship I've seen in quite a while), and go where they're needed. Technically still under the power of the Church, but not really being affected all that much by its edicts when they're so far away from Earth. Unfortunately the Church is trying to regain its control over 'the flock' recently and sends them a very obnoxious priest who just doesn't understand the realities of life in the black (he's very early-season-Wesley-Wyndam-Pryce about it).
Then they receive a distress call from a newly-formed colony though, and the Sisters will have to make a choice between following orders from the Church and doing the right thing.
One of the Sisters does have a romantic connection with a woman she met before the start of the story (but the romance itself is nearly absent and more focuses on her struggle to choose between love and her faith (would like to add that the problem is the fact that she's a nun not that she has feelings for a woman)).
---------
And other books that I have enjoyed, that don't contain overpowering amounts of romance.
Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett (always a safe bet and absolutely worth all its hype, especially the ones following the witches (Granny Weatherwax is the greatest character ever)), A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (middle grade book that's fun to read but also contains adult themes and in my opinion is enjoyable whatever your age), Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (a fun read, which gave me an extreme soft spot for the... character the main character ends up meeting), Imperial Radch trilogy by Ann Leckie (from the POV of the only surviving Ancillary of a ship whose AI once had hundreds of bodies, she starts out on a revenge mission against the leader of the Empire), The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (deals with a very kind-hearted half-elven/half-goblin son of the Emperor who has just been given the throne, very blatant racism allegory shown in the story, but it's also not trying to hide it (elves being fair skinned and goblins having dark skin), some romance but the 'arranged marriage' kind and not the focus).
Seriously if you have recs, please share.

Do you think in universe they'd have like, fucked up anatomically incorrect human skeleton decorations? Like WHAT is that skull for Splatfest? Not human that's for sure, and Inklings don't have bones. And you may question why they'd be incorrect if they have fossilized human skeletons for reference, and I raise you all the anatomically incorrect animal skeleton decorations we have, like birds with feather bones, or bone spiders. Kaleb looking incredulously at the "Human" skeletons on display
I'm just imagining a horrifically proportioned 'human' skeleton that's clearly based more on Inklings and Octolings than any actual fossils and Kaleb, being at the store with Lola, just stops to stare at it for a solid minute as he just. Loses his shit. Lola thinks he's crying because he's once again being reminded of human mortality or something but he's just wheezing with laughter at this scrunched up, wide headed... thing.

George and Dhani Harrison, and Tom Petty, with the Bones Brigade, Friar Park, July 1989. Photo 1 courtesy of the Harrison Estate, via xgames.com (“Harrisons Sr. and Jr., center, surrounded by the Bones Brigade the second time the team paid a visit to the family's Friar Park estate in the U.K. Ever the boss, George Harrison is wearing pants Mike McGill sent to him and a pink Tony Hawk T-shirt.”); photo 2 courtesy of Tony Hawk/Instagram.
“In July of 1989, Tony Hawk, Mike Manzoori, Ray Underhill, Eric Sorrensen, Adrian Demain, and I [Lance Mountain] were on tour in Europe with the Bones Brigade... We were skating this little red mini ramp out in the middle of this field somewhere in the London area, and I was selling some 45 singles of this band I was in called Republic. [...] So the mom comes over and invites us to her house for dinner, and I’m like, ‘Sure,’ not knowing what’s going on. Before we left to go to the kid’s house, this dude comes over and goes, ‘That’s George Harrison’s wife [Olivia] and kid [Dhani]; they want to take you to their castle.’ [...] We walked in, and George was sitting in a room with Tom Petty; they were watching soccer. We met them, and George took some time out and gave us a little tour of the castle. We walked through all these hallways, all his gold and platinum discs were on the wall. He was like, ‘Let me show you the music room.’ There were three drum sets and 50 guitars on the wall — all the famous guitars he’d ever played. [...] We went into George’s kid’s bedroom — at that time he would have been about twelve. [...] Then we went to the kitchen, and George’s wife made us some pizza, so we had pizza with everyone. It was pretty trippy. The son knew I’d been selling singles at the demo, and he told his dad, so George is all, ‘I heard you have a record. If you get me one, I’ll put it in the jukebox in the living room.’ I told him it was terrible and that we didn’t know how to play. George said that’s what music is, and that no one really knows how to play.” - Lance Mountain, as told to Skin, skateboarding dot transworld dot net, 27 December 1999
“It was the coolest thing that happened to me up until that point in my life. Tony Hawk hit a launch ramp at my house.” - Dhani, ESPN, 13 December 2013 (x)

Sensitivity reading for Hanukkah...?
HI!!!!!! Happy holidays all!
Well... I'm writing, and I'm having some stuff about Hanukkah in Life with the Bone Brigade! Some Info, hoping to go into some history/celebration but I have limited knowledge, and I'd like some working knowledge and opinions!
Any celebrators interested in doing a read through of the scene for accuracy?
