It's #ValentinesDay and today I'm ranking every book in the "Kilala Princess" manga series! (I promise there's romance involved) #KilalaPrincess #BookRankings #manga #amreading #reading #romance #shoujo #shojo #RikaTanaka #NaoKodaka

Hello, fellow readers and writers! In lieu of a book review this week, I thought that I’d introduce all of you to a manga series called “Kilala Princess” (written by Rika Tanaka and art by Nao Kodaka)! It’s a shojo manga series consisting of five books. I’ve read all of them during last year and, in this post, I’ll be ranking them overall! “Kilala Princess” involves a girl named Kilala trying to…

Ten Great Reads from 2023

In both 2022 and 2021 when I started these monthly book posts, I read 76 books. In 2023, I read 103! I have a feeling I neglected other areas of my life to read that much. I had set a reading goal of six books per month. Although I missed that goal two times, I exceeded it eight times. Therefore, I am going to increase my goal to seven books per month for 2024. In a new tradition (started in 2021…

as a 16th century clergyman what does machete think of the printing press

I think by the time he was born the printing press had been around for almost a century and a half, so I'd reckon the society as a whole was largely past it's initial novelty and controversy. Machete himself is bookish and nerdy, he's very invested in gathering knowledge about various topics and trying to piece together a good picture of how the world works. Getting access to reading material would be a lot harder if every book was still copied individually by hand. His standards are pretty high though, there's a lot of poorly translated, shoddily printed and flimsily bound books around and he's prone to scrunching his nose at them.

#his relationship with faith is kind of fraught and unhealthy #but as a top ranking cleric he's nonetheless fiercely protective of the church's interests that's his job #the reformation and the invention of the printing press enabled people to start spreading bootleg vernacular translations of the bible #suddenly folks had a chance to read the holy book in a language they could understand (if you were lucky enough to be literate at least) #this was a big deal remember it used to be only in latin and essentially gatekept by priests #not to mention you could now buy a copy of your own the cost of books had crashed they weren't necessarily rare luxury items anymore #you don't just go and cut out the middleman that's not how this is supposed to work #distressing times in the catholic church #answered #anonymous

what's your opinion on whether or not canon zutara could have made sense to happen by the finale?? i can't decide if i would have preferred them getting together or just hints at it and then it's revealed in tlok that they got married (and ig the comics would include the story of them getting together then)

my stance has always been that the show should have ended with no canonical romantic relationships, or a hint of future zutara at best. we didn't need anything more than a quick, intimate scene where zuko and katara discuss their futures and promise to keep in touch, with maybe a lingering glance or two to foreshadow romantic feelings. no kiss or grand declarations necessary.

that being said, if a romantic relationship had to happen, zutara was both built up more and made more sense narratively than kat.aang and mai.ko. i wouldn't have liked a zutara kiss in the finale for many of the same reasons i didn't like the kat.aang one, but it would've at least been thematically fitting and consistent with the characterizations of everyone involved - unlike zuko ending up with someone who never underwent any of the growth he did, and katara entering a lifelong romantic relationship without even so much as a word to give us insight into her sudden change of heart.

the only way to really do justice to zutara would've been with book 4, allowing plenty of time for a proper slowburn friends-to-lovers arc, but the reason so many people ship them today is because their relationship at the end of the show is the perfect jumping-off point for a romance. canon didn't actually have to give us anything more - the seeds were all planted already, and the imagination of the fandom would've done the rest.

#zutara #anti kataang #anti maiko #they should've taken a leaf out of carmen sandiego's book #and left it up to the fans to decide what came next #every day i remember that atla chose to resolve the babysitter crush storyline instead of literally anything else in aang's arc #that ranks at no. 2 on worst decisions of all time surpassed only by bryke going for the m. night movie instead of book 4

yeah i don't think this is the kind of advertising rachel needs right now-

#again rachel doesn't really have anything to do directly with this situation BUT #cait still included LO as one of the series she inflated the rating of with 5 stars alongside her own book #correlation doesn't equal causation #but it's still really telling that these are the kinds of works cait simps for to the point of RATING THEM HIGHLY IN HER REVIEW BOMBING #when they're really so problematic and controversial at their core #and are laced with so much casual misogyny and racism #the latter of which cait has a LOT of #though 'casual' racism is really understating it #she promoted herself from casual to competitive ranked racism #and yeah that includes touch of darkness as well which she also rated high with her alts and it's literally just LO: The Wattpad Novel #cait corrain #oh and sidenote #her 'apology' was not a real apology at ALL lmao #it literally opened up IMMEDIATELY with her using her medication as an excuse #for RACISM #watch out y'all you don't wanna take the depression meds that come with racism as a side effect /s #lore olympus critical #lo critical #anti lore olympus

Let's try this again... I didn't include a few of the more iconic songs in the last poll. Yes, it's all on me, I forgot some of the songs from the movies I didn't watch that much growing up. I have since done my research and am back to try this again.

#Disney #My polls #beauty and the beast #hunchback of notre dame #101 Dalmations #Lion King #the Little Mermaid #pocahontas #jungle book #aladdin #princess and the frog #Tangled #little mermaid #the lion king #the hunchback of notre dame #my personal favourite remains the same BUT I will admit #one of the ones that wasn't there last time has crept up in the rankings #i'd say it's likely my number 2 now #also shoutout to in the dark of the night from anastasia #it's not disney but that's a banging villain song
