#Yes It makes no sense. Yes it's unfunny and yes everyone I know didn't know it's a joke. So please forgive me. I sketched this idea at 3am

I will defend Jason Grace with my whole heart forever. oh he's boring? well somebody has to be the boring one--somebody has to be the 'stick in the mud' group leader who is just trying so unbelievably hard to keep everybody safe. not everybody can be making witty sarcastic jokes with every fight :( not everybody is a Percy or a Leo--if we had a team of just Percys and Leos, what would ever get done around here!! he was raised in a military camp all his life, he didn't just get to cultivate a sense of humour and a carefree attitude :(
all Jason has ever tried to do is help people by truly listening to them. he didn't just fight the minor gods, he talked to them, he figured out what they wanted, and he fucking followed through with his promises to honour them!! (or... he was going to.) he wasn't just going to make false promises as a scheme, he was really going to change things and ensure it didn't happen again :(
after everyone shat so hard on Jason for suggesting they not detour to save Nico (which, by the way, yes it could have seemed insensitive to us bc we know and love Nico, Jason doesn't know who this bitch is!! he was trying to be strategical) none of them really seemed to make an effort to figure out... what his deal was? it was Jason who stuck around to put in the effort to really push Nico out of his shell and not just placate his behaviour, which would go on to be such an important catalyst for Nico's recovery and development going forwards :( it was Jason that Nico stayed for :( there are so many moments where Jason is shown so clearly listening to and acting upon other peoples problems throughout the series, and he never really gets that treatment back until its too late,,
and maybe it's just personal. as an older sibling I am so used to getting called boring and being told to let loose or stop being so bossy... Jason is showing his love the only way he knows how... by putting himself second, and by just trying to keep order. it just must really suck. imagine putting your whole heart and soul into protecting your found family only for them to dismiss you as stoic and detached and unfunny. and then to see the whole fandom just degrade his character for it :( I get that maybe his chapters just aren't everyones cup of tea, but I never got where all of this animosity stemmed from.
he's trying his best. he's just a kid, like the rest of them... it seems that when any of the other make stupid decisions, they're forgiven for their age and naïveté, but when Jason does, he's penalized as an adult... which I think is so shameful :( he's allowed to have stupid mistakes :(
he is.... my favourite of the seven.. and I just want to give him a hug. I love u Jason Grace I got ur back always

CC3 Anon
spoilers under cut
Hiii it’s CC anon. THANK GOD YOU RESPONDED NO ONE ELSE I KNOW IS READING THIS BOOK 😭
I finished CC3 last night and yeah. I enjoyed the pacing at the beginning of this book more than the first two books because we’re already in the thick of the climax and don’t have to build up suspense again but omg it dragged in the middle.
I did not care for Ithan at all I’m sorry. And yes he hasn’t been a pro sun all player in YEARS idk why she keeps bringing it up. I think someone stumbled and he caught her and Sarah went “his sunball reflexes” HES A WOLF HE WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE QUICK REFLEXES. Had him running up and down to resurrect Sigrid and in the end it DIDNT EVEN MATTER.
Lmaoooo Ithan mostly acted ago appropriate if I think about it. He's like 20 I'm assuming since he's around college age. He's def not my favorite character either tbh. Love how everything fell into his lap tho. Literally anytime he was mentioned so was snuball it was so fucking dumb.
I know you like Tharion but can he do anything right omg. Ithan carried him with the Viper Queen. Sathia carried him in front of the Ocean Queen 😭 I WAS SO PISSED ABOUT THE ANTIDOTES OMG and then Ithan went and did the same. I see why they are best friends like wow stupid really follows stupid.
LMAO I love Tharion, yes he'd definitely dumb and needs to make better decisions but I liked how witty he was in the first book. He really needs to stop with the whole woe is me act tho. omg the antidotes shit don't even get me started. half of the stuff that she wrote for the book didn't even matter in the end. like, we could've cut this damn book down 300 pages tbh, nothing would've been missed because nothing made sense even.
I don’t hate Bryce. She did annoy me though. I hated when Aelin wouldn’t tell people about her plans and could not stand it from Bryce here. Her yelling at Hunt about having to face the consequences of their actions. I’m like dude you went to another world and came back powered up. Hunt stayed and was tortured brutally like what? I know why she doesn’t want him to have guilt about it but it’s his 3rd time going through this and failing. And now he has more to lose. Of course he would be feeling a type of way.
I do not like her at all lol. The whole not telling people plans things pissed me off because her loud mouth is not like that. AND THEN SHE HAS THE AUDACITY TO TELL HUNT "OH YOU DONT EVEN WANT TO BE HERE" girl maybe if you told someone the fuckin plan they would feel a bit more confident about going through with it for fucks sake. she's a mean girl and i can't stand her and i don't think she's funny at all she is so cringe to me haha. HUNT HAS ALREADY TRIED GOING AGAINST THE ASTERI AND HE WAS TORTURED FOR 200 YEARS?! Then he gets freed and has to do it all over again?! Like, why are we yelling at this man? of course he's weary.
I’m not the biggest fan of her swagger at times. Like sometimes we don’t need the quippy (read: unfunny) one liners :/
LITERALLY
The STAKES???? Bryce should’ve stayed dead! It would have been a lot more impactful. Even the torturing scenes kind of didn’t hit as much after the fact cause everyone can just regrow their limbs and be fine. No one had a single nightmare about what happened to them? I thought we would see something like that beyond “a glimmer of darkness in his eyes” idk :/
The entire "someone dying only to be brought to life on the next page" has definitely fucking worn off now but sjm apparently can't see that. she created a world with 50+ characters only to not use half of them when it matters. so stupid. Also, i don't remember them being able to regrow limbs tbh.
Maybe the book would’ve been too long but I was genuinely shocked we didn’t get more scenes of anyone on the actual battlefield. We were mostly in the palace after Bryce and Hunt teleported, and then the moment with Lidia and the sprites. But maybe the book would’ve been too toooo long idk.
Yeah there really was only like 60 pages of the end scene. but as soon as i saw the word space i actually almost DNFd it because what the actual fuck was that.
I will say I really like how the male friendships are genuine. I honestly can’t tell you that Bryce, Fury, and June are friends LMAO. (I’m exaggerating but I do kinda agree with this) .
Yeah, i love Ruhn, dec, and flynn's relationship. i think sjm tries to be like "oh yeah girl power, strong fmc's" but there's no women in the books? and they all don't like each other? like danika, bryce, fury, and juniper seemed like mean girls? girls that didn't give a fuck about anyone else? idk. the way that the men to women ratio in her books is very interesting to me. and the fack that EVERY man that comes across bryce thinks she's the most gorgeous girl to have ever lived...fuck off with that logic.
My girl Jesiba :////// She was my favorite for sure. I'm indifferent about her lol. Her entire storyline i feel was just made up like two months ago so she could connect to the other series lol
I do agree with what you said about Bryce (I legit almost wrote Aelin LMFAO) . I was not expecting her to just say no rulers for the Fae at all. But I guess a Senate would be more democratic.
SO STUPID. The Senate (starwars)
Im sure there will be a fourth book but I am so uninterested in Tharion and Ariadne like who caresssssssss. If Im interested in Ithan, it’s because I want to see more Perry. I wonder how connected this world and ACOTAR will remain.
I honestly hope it ends at 4 books. I think that would be a perfect ending because there's four houses. no need for more im already sick of it. yeah i liked perry too. i hope they're no longer connected lol.
Ruhn and Lidia :) but HE LEGIT SHOT HER?? I know she was acting irrationally because of her sons and he wanted to make sure she didn’t get herself killed but then he shot her. Like okay 😭. I think my favorite couples are Bryce’s parents and Lidia and Ruhn. Ruhn just seems so hot 😭.
Ruhn is a winner for sure for sure.
I’m writing too much and I’m scared this app will just shut down so I’ll quit here. I still think the first book is the worst one in this series. But I had fun with this one (despite my hang ups) and I’m glad it’s over (for now :/).
THANKS FOR LETTING ME RANT!!!
THANKS FOR LETTING ME RANT TOO!
CC anon!! I went to goodreads to read reviews of the book and I genuinely cannot believe how many 5 star ratings this book got. I mean, I can and can’t believe it. Atp anything Sarah puts out will average at least a 4 star rating on there and sell a crap ton.
I think people just give her that rating because she's popular, not because they read lol. oh yeah, why do you think she released 5 different bonus chapters. talk about a greedy cash grab. that mentality kinda makes me sick im not even going to lie.
I was reading through the 2-star reviews and someone mentioned their shock at how quickly Ruhn and Lidia resolved their issues which I totally agree with. She said she hated him and would never forgive him for what he did, and she was right! I know why Ruhn did it, but I genuinely still cannot believe he actually shot her, even if she was gonna be okay. That’s a terrible time to be worrying about a wound like that when you want to be at full strength to fight for your children.
Yeah half of the plot lines felt stupid? like what? he couldn't have stopped her any other way...really? i feel like she did not think this book through as well as she thought she did tbh. seems to be her thing these days.
(Even when Hunt said he hated Bryce for stopping him from killing Celestina, I was like Oh!)
OMG THAT WAS ACTUALLY WILD. YEAH OKAY. I TOTALLY BELIEVE THEY'RE MATES.
The reviewer said Sarah should have left their relationship on the rocks so we could get Ruhn groveling in the fourth book, and I can’t get that idea out of my head. ESPECIALLY with their bonus scene. Idk if you’ve read it but I was like ??? I like them as a couple and I like their story, but it did seem like it was all patched up insanely quickly. Like if you shot me then the very LEAST you could do is get my kids to safety. That alone would not necessarily make me forgive you.
I didn't read their bonus chapter but i can't believe they moved in with each other literally after like two days of knowing each other in real life. bro, you just found out she has two kids? you don't know the woman at all lol. no, everyone has to have a happy ending by the last page of the book or else. lol. no suspense.

“Don’t make a shadow of yourself, always shutting out the light.” // yes he's making a dumb joke and being genuine at the same time
" ..... did you get knocked in the head? cause that was remarkably unfunny."
she hadn't expected him to give his actual name. over time, maybe mizuki had just gotten used to it. twists and calamities that never were in her favor. it was....strange how despite being terrified, this familiar feeling of pain and the sense she had fallen into hell was the same as before being kidnapped. it still pissed her off. as much as her fury for her kidnappers, the idea that someone got the jump on her of all people! she'd expect date to do something stupid but not her!
but here she was, with a bracelet around her wrist and an odd number . . . and a code name. she'd immediately shut down 'blue', scorning the blatant condescension of the people around her. looking at her with pity. she guessed that was normal though. she was the youngest one in this horrible nightmare. she already wasn't waking up from the nightmare of her life, and now . . . she was bound by the bracelet, the RED, the DEAD....and a far better name.
save clover and light, or rather, clover and snake, everyone else called her ' usagi ' . or more simply, ' rabbit ' , which was the same word, but still. her present team was with light and clover at the time, finding a sense of protectiveness in being near them as much as a sense of odd safety being with the fields. the youngest was more snarky, actually, she was kind of like her, but surprisingly immature sometimes. or was that just how family was?
clinging to each other. maybe that was an ordinary family. or maybe...she was just too mature? she'd gotten to used to pain, tragedy and horror. maybe that was why she couldn't say she even felt like a 12 year old girl. the oldest, was gentle and kind, often tapping her wrist to check if she was there and often being tugged as gently as possible alongside his little sister the moment they entered a number door by mizuki; whose speed was like the wind in motion; useful considering they barely had a minute to deactivate the DEAD.
despite constantly having a stoic, oddly determined expression for a grade schooler, her fingers lightly closed around his as if to cement her existence to him. it wasn't like it was really cemented to anyone back where, home? what was home anyway? she...she didn't know. maybe she had never had one at all ? even with her scathing response, delivered so calmly and bluntly . . . her lips twitched and a small noise escaped her throat. something akin to laughter.
" . . . hehe. " she was thankful she could at least go through this door with him. it was always a swap between her and clover, who despite their age difference . . . her cheeriness and refusal to stay glum reminded her of her best friend back home. did...did anyone know she was gone? mizuki chased such thoughts away as she gently squeezed briefly his wrist as they walked, a rare affection as much as guidance despite him clearly being more than capable.
Tumblr media
" you're so positive and trying to stay cheerful even if there's no reason to be. i told someone that once. or, well, something like it. i dunno if it sticked but . . . it's still pretty goofy. but i get what you mean. and...that's goofy too. " her words as blunt as they are holding a ghost of a faint twitch of her lips into a smile that snake may not see, but with his intuition, perhaps he sensed.
" c'mon. we're almost at the DEAD. compared with the other person in our team, you and i have to be the brains as usual. "
thank you.

So we already know about KazuXiaoReader but have you thought of yanfeixreaderxhutao
I mean you + a law student + a prankster
What could go better?
You guys go to haunted houses for fun
(If you ever watched buzzfeed unsolved it'd probably be like that)
-no primogems
PRIMOS YOU FOUND MY OTHER NOT SO QUIET PAIR
I don't know much about Yanfei and Hu Tao but---YanTao (HuFei??) is one of the ships that I immediately thought was cute. Not just because they both canonically rap and I'm hoping that Yanfei will join in on the rap battles that Hu Tao and Xingqiu have often-
BUT ANYWAY GOING ON
What a fun trio!! You have two very silly but also extremely knowledgeable and mature girlfriends! (Yes, Hu Tao can be mature) Nothing like coming home to lots of shared giggles and smiles and kisses after a long long long day of studying (which...unfortunately continues on once she does get home. Ah, the life of a law student).
I think that no matter your demeanor, it'd work well. Especially because Hu Tao loves to mess with very serious people (and even said serious people like Xiao think that she's funny, if not a bit annoying).
But anyway! This would take place in the same universe as our beloved KazuXiaoReader. In fact, considering that Kazuha and Xiao are just a few years older than Yanfei and Hu Tao (who are fresh new college students!), their relationship with their beloved probably made them realize that it's cool to do the same!
Just gotta make sure you have good communication, boundaries, and don't leave anyone out :D
Anyway, Hu Tao is probably like an annoying little cousin to Xiao. I think that in this sense, she'd be Zhongli's adoptive daughter (no matter his age. Listen, if I end up 'adopting' friends who are two years younger than me, so can he. Unless he's older, then it'd be official adoption probably?) and Zhongli and Xiao would have a mentor/mentee (I didn't know that was the word for it) relationship which has become more of a guardian kinda thing. Anyway, more found family because I love it. Yes this also means that Ganyu is one of Zhongli's mentee's and she's like a sister to Xiao.
We're giving Xiao the family he deserves but didn't get as a child-
WAIT BACK TO YANTAOREADER
In your shared apartment/dorm/whatnot, there's never not a few giggles going around. Hu Tao with her unfunny hilarious jokes and morbid humor, Yanfei with her teasing and quick wit, you--their unfortunate victim...or even better you also join in on the fun and instead terrorize your shared friends.
Hehe.
Anyway, with the load of a law student, Yanfei is entirely full-time with overloaded units. We're talking like full load 18 units per semester, brain mush, bad times. But??? She handles it with incredible ease.
She also definitely has great handwriting and fantastic notes! Probably the student that everyone else seeks out for tips and missed assignment instructions.
Really, she could teach law herself if she really wanted to...so if she were to get a job, it'd probably be as a tutor at her university! It's common for universities to hire students to work at tutors for hourly pay (or at least most of the ones I've been to have this kind of program) which is great!
As for Hu Tao, just like the game she's already taken over the Funeral Parlor a few minutes out.
However, she mainly manages the people-part of the job! She's pretty down-to-earth despite her silly demeanor and knows just how to console and help people who are mourning figure out what they want for their dearly departed.
It's a tough job, yes, but Hu Tao is very much so well-equipped for it.
You!!!! Are a college student in this as well (or not, if that's not your cup of tea) who works at one of the bookstores downtown! ...Gotta get those good deals on books for Yanfei and you, after all.
I think a relationship with these two lovely ladies would also be sweet. A different kind of sweet from KazuXiaoReader (which is that soft, slow kind of love that's settled)...more of those butterflies in your stomach, staying up until 3am, no longer puppy love but just as exciting!!! Kind of thing :D
I can't leave out the Buzzfeed Unsolved...
You three would absolutely go to haunted houses. Don't worry if you don't like them because Hu Tao can and will scare the poor, poor employees back (was...was the wolfman crying??? Hu Tao I think that's enough-).
But you're also joking along the whole way, naturally.
--
Hu Tao: I'm gonna try and agitate it
Yanfei, waiting: Ok
Hu Tao: I'm gonna be as crude as possible
Hu Tao:
Hu Tao: FUCK YOU, GOATMAN!
You: Holy shit

Introduction Page!
Tumblr media
Hello ladies, gents, and everyone in between, I'm Aster! Welcome to my fanfiction and brain rot page (mostly Mobius content). Some fun facts about me are *drumroll*:
18 yo. (my birthday is in May)
Non-binary, Bisexual here! (they/them or sometimes he/him is preferred.)
I'm going into my first year of college in the fall (oh lord).
My favorite color is either black or pink. It's a tie. (I know two different ends of the spectrum)
I graduated high-school this year (2021)
I work at cRAckEr BArrEL in the little shop they have at the front. (it's quite fun ngl. I get payed $10 an hour sometimes thats not enough to deal with ppl's shit and sustain how much I spend.)
I've only had one other job and it was at Kohl's (good lord that place gives me bad dreams).
I have like 4 friends and they all live at least 45 min+ from me same with online friends. (I'm lonely give me attention.)
I live in Texas were it's as hot as the Devil's anus iykyk. It's usually around 90 degrees on a regular basis. They all of a sudden it will be 2 degrees in the middle of spring. (Don't move here -1/10 do not recommend.)
It took my three ½ years to get my official driver's license and when I did it expired without me knowing and I drove with an expired license for a month. (BUT, I didn't get pulled over!)
I'm a SSB™  (simp since birth). I simp for a number of fictional characters such as, Mobius (that's obvious), Geralt of Rivia, Will Graham, Loki, Obi-Wan Kenobi (that one's slightly embarrassing), and others I don't remeber atm.
I have only started to gain confidence to post what I write on here. I will be making a request page for you guys to make requests on.
I've been writing fanfiction since I was a wee little 12 year old. Yes, I know, gross. I was really into Doctor Who fanfiction at that time. I wrote everything on paper cuz I didnt have a phone. (My parents found it recently. I almost "yeeted" myself out a window.)
I love frogs, rats, mice, and turtles (basically any goblincore-ish animal).
The energy I give off is bascially chaotic mentally-ill simp™.
I honestly would write for a living but nobody gets paid enough to write fanfiction .
So instead I'm a visual arts major but that's to be determined.
All of my tiktoks are cringy, change my mind.
I was obsessed with mermaids as a kid, as all children 2015 were. I even made potions and a fake mermaid tail. I was committed, okay?
I'm a 2003 baby in case anyone was wondering.
I have a few hobbies including: art (drawing, learning digital art and painting), music (listening and singing), being in nature, collecting random things in the woods (bonez), watching TV, social media (?), driving around, shopping (rETAIL THERAPY), fashion/makeup/hair, reading (occasionally), and of course writing.
Gator Loki is superior (I love u gator loki 😤)
Single since 2003 🤞🏻(someone PLZ end my suffering (jk)).
I'm the bitch that barks at people who make me 🌌uncomfy🌌.
I will be your partner in crime if asked. (Also will be your bestie)
My sense of humor is horrifyingly unfunny.
Wanna lie under the stars and watch marvel movies on a projector screen 🌟outside🌟?
I'm horribly shy and introverted in person.
Don't worry, I'll get on your nerves by asking if I'm annoying and saying sorry every five seconds.
People say I give good advice 🤷🏻?
Tumblr media
So I think that's all. I may add more. Can you tell I'm a chaotic writer?
If you want to follow me on other platforms here are my usernames:
tiktok: aster2305
instagram: aster.leee
(those are the only two I use frequently but if you don't feel comfy adding me on either, you can always pm me here and I'll be glad to talk!)
I love all of you dudes that support my writing and I hope you're day is fantastic! 🤍

Almost Maine...More Like Almost Made Me Die of Embarrassment - 5 Reasons Why
Tumblr media
Can we talk about some things real quick? Can we quit scrolling for a few moments to truly think about how embarrassing live theatre is? Can we talk about how corny Almost Maine is? Now now...I am not hating on theatre at all. In fact I have been a drama kid since the ripe age of 14. I was no actor by all means. I was one of the scrawny stage hands in black who eventually descended to the glory that is of a stage manager. But, yes I was one of those kids singing show tunes at the local Pizza Hut after our night's performance. I love theatre don't get me wrong. Im a fangirl of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. I cry during The Last Five Years. But Almost Maine....cringe
Saturday I ventured out to Youngstown State University with some of my close friends to see our mutual friend preform in his first college production. Mind you my high school did a production of Almost Maine and still to this day it gives me battle flashbacks. I knew what I was going into. But yet, I held on to hope that this production would leave me with better memories. Less corny memories. No second-hand embarrassment. Alas, that would not be the case. I walk in, take my seat. The doors close and the lights dim. The prologue begins as does my rising anxiety about being embarrassed, ultimately leading to intrusive thoughts of me somehow ruining this play for everyone.
1. This play is set in the town of Almost in a remote area of Maine. The premise: Vignettes of various town-folk and their pursuit of love. Pretty much in every scene, two random people end up confessing their love for each other after just meeting. (Hallmark does it better). As a bitter single woman, love and PDA make me incapacitated.
2. Throughout the show, a woman behind me. I suspect she was apart of the theatre faculty, she would HOWL with laughter at the most UNFUNNY parts of the show. My friends and I held onto one another as if we were in the midst of war. Our faces red with piping hot second-hand embarrassment. Our eyes wet with our streaming tears. But maybe I should be thanking her...now that I think about it she made the play funny. Better.
3. There is a vignette where two male best friends slip on ice repeatedly. A metaphor for falling in love with each other..... Don't get me wrong I am all about LGBTQ plus love stories. But I don't think slipping on ice can change someones sexuality. But what do I know. I am not John Cariani- the man of genius behind this play.
4. Going into this play, I had the notion that it would be set on a big stage in a large auditorium. It was a pit stage...with three sections of bleachers. I could touch the actors. I could feel their body heat. I could sense their dramatic flair. I had to look down most of the play so I didn't bust out laughing for no reason. People embarrass me. Ultimately, everything embarrasses me. All I could think about was, "What if I have to use the restroom??" "What if for some odd reason I have a seizure and collapse onto the stage?" I couldn't focus nonetheless. All the what if's were running through my mind.
5. Finally. The last full love story was about a girl losing her virginity to her new boyfriend. The boyfriend was played by my close friend. A friend I have known since fifth grade....I watched as clothes went flying. As deep tongue kisses were had. Rolling and tumbling of sweaty bodies on the hard stage....I felt as if I was watching my little brother get deflowered. I saw things I did not ever need to see.
A fun night. But not a fun play. Is it just me? Am I not seeing the appeal?
