I can read a 500 page book or 100k word fanfiction in one sitting, but the moment I have to do a required reading for uni I suddenly don't know how to read

Quick tip for anyone who is new to comics or who is not new to comics, but hasn't put enough effort into reading them yet:

You can NOT be a Cassandra's fan if you haven't read Batgirl (2000) & Batgirl (2009)

You can NOT be a Jason's fan if you haven't read "Batman: Under the Hood" & "Red Hood: Lost Days"

You can NOT be a Damian's fan if you haven't read "Robin: Son of Batman" & "Batman & Robin (2011)"

Not only are all 6 of these books really great reads on their own right that can be enjoyed by all readers, but they also define these 3 characters and reading all of them them is essential for understanding them, so if you haven't already, go read them!

#can you tell that DC released another of their 'essential' reading lists that had not actual essential books in them? #they didn't include any Batgirl books aside from the Burnside one #and they even called it genre defining lol #RHATO is included but not LD #Robin 2021 is included but not R:SoB #and the current Nightwing run by TT is included even though its still on-going (and bad) #cassandra cain #jason todd #Damian Wayne

I don't feel like going through my blog to search for the post, but called it:

And then they didn't even show Bruce or Dick's reaction to Damian getting kidnapped, only Barbara's pretty generic one.

Can someone tell DC's writers that it's kind of hard to care when not even the characters in the story have emotional reactions to what is happening? If you have someone's child getting kidnapped shouldn't we see the parent's reaction first?

Also the only "joke" the writer seems capable of making with Damian is that he's constantly getting told that he's a bad child/person, which is something I'm pretty tired of general but in this storyline it's especially annoying because so far Damian has contributed absolutely zero to the plot except for needing to be rescued by other people.

#Btw Superman is possessed by...something #Because we didn't already have enough of those this year #Yeah I'm not a fan of this book #I've seen others call it funny or charming but so far I think it's pretty lame #This and the other christmas stories with Damian all read like the writer read Damian's wiki page or only one of his early stories #And then called it a day with their research #Like Damian has lived with the batfamily for over fours years at this point #He knows who santa is #And he has met batmite before #So why did the writers act as if he's still ten and fresh out of the league #Even though he's drawn with his current costume

Books need to be broken in the same as a pair of doc martens

#dedicated to the woman next to me in the plane who looked on in horror as I cracked the spine of my book intensely #it is going in my hands I want to love it let me be comfortable #currently reading Alien Daughters Walk Into The Sun: an almanac of extreme girlhood by Jackie Wang #feeling….hmm #it just sucks reading memoirs from cool gay people talking about how their lives were crazy and lawless and full of travel and adventure #and the life they’re describing is just literally not possible anymore because of capitalism and like. technology. world. #loving the book tho. intensely confused. I feel like I’m on a CNF FaceTime call

Yeah yeah “show don’t tell” get mis-explained and misinterpreted as writing advice a lot and yeah sometimes you SHOULD be telling the reader things however I am unwilling to discard this particular phrase given the number of stories I have encountered that make me want to slap the author across the face with it

#tal reads #this post brought to you by my current audiobook #telling me. REPEATEDLY. in conversation and internal narration #that the mc is this incredible rebel who never follows the rules and who everyone knows likes to live on the edge man #meanwhile in terms of his actual ACTIONS in the story #the most exciting thing this man has done is buy a coffee shop without his family’s approval #(there’s a LITTLE more weight behind this than I’m making it sound bc his family is politically important. but not much.) #there’s this whole conversation he has with one guy #to whom the mc mentions his family wanted him to take religious orders #and the next like. ten lines of dialogue #are all just the guy repeating how UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE this is and how NO ONE is less suited to that than the mc #and I’m just sitting there like. this guy is neither a serial killer nor afaik a political atheist so like calm the fuck down perhaps #it’s not a bad book overall!!! #but the reputation the author wanted her mc to have is HILARIOUSLY out of step with the character she actually wanted to write him being #if it was all internal narration I might call it a brilliant bit of unreliable narrator of the self-aggrandizing flavor #and take it as an artistic choice #but it’s clear other people think of the mc how he thinks of himself #just with…zero justification in the actual story lmao #every time he gets close to actually doing something seriously risky he’s like ‘but I’m not stupid so I didn’t’ #me: WHY DO YOU HAVE A REPUTATION FOR DOING STUPIDLY RISKY THINGS THEN??? #anyway if you have to TELL your audience what kind of person your character is #rather than letting their actions speak for themselves #then it’s time to reassess if that character actually is the kind of person you’re describing

“Can you stop staring, please?”

He can’t. In fact, it feels awfully impossible to tear his eyes from your face. You’re obviously shy, Minho evaluates, and he’s obviously no good at literature, so he doesn’t see the point of trying to learn the subject at hand when he’s so much more interested in you.

From the apples of your cheeks, he swears he can see your face becoming warm, the little arch in your eyebrows displaying your almost hidden spell of self-consciousness. He thinks it’s stupid. If a supermodel were self conscious, people would call them ridiculous, because they’re so obviously beautiful and walk across runways with their heads held high as if confidence has never been a problem. While you’re not a supermodel, nor perfect or confident or the most beautiful person in the world, he hates the fact you refuse to see any good in yourself when it’s all he can see.

Minho notices more than he should. He can pick out the side of your mouth that curls up more than the other as you grin, uncontrollably and without a worry in the world. It’s that smile—the one that makes you look slightly like the joker—that makes his heart pound against his rib cage like an internal bass drum. He couldn’t care for all the imperfections in the world because you have so much for him to adore that he can simply never get sick of you. He finds the clothes you wear wonderfully interesting because he could never think of such outfits himself. He thinks the way you style your hair everyday, and the way you style it on special occasions (which is the same, every occasion) says a lot about the type of person who you are.

You make him want to be better. He feels the need, an internal hunger to grow when he’s around you. It’s not that he wants to be better than you, or become more interesting and different. If anything, he wants to be good enough for you, because while Minho can see the world and more in everything you do, he can barely see a star in himself.

It keeps him awake, sometimes. There’s not really any label on what you are, not just yet, but the looming fear of you losing interest in what he can offer hangs over his mind constantly. He dresses in the same, dark, long-sleeved tops each day, and his hair is never styled differently. For the past two years, his phone background has been the same picture of his cats, and he is yet to change his phone case even though the images on the stickers are now meaningless blobs of white.

However, sometimes he wonders if the world, for once, is on his side. Like now, when the corners of your lips rise and stay up, as if someone invisible is pinching them into the most embarrassed smile of all. He realises you’re smiling because of him—because you know he is so stupidly infatuated with you and he doesn’t even care to hide it anymore. It makes his heart bubble like a fresh bottle of champagne, sweet and cool and fresh: the thought that you really do believe he is enough for you.

For the first time, Minho's fingers touch your face. They’re delicate, and he feels as though they’re like mini candles being set alight the moment he sets them on your skin. Burning. From the very tip all the way to his palm. You feel so soft and gentle against him, as if you’re a stuffed toy made from the finest stuffing and the highest quality materials. Even better, though, is when your eyes widen in surprise and look up at him. It’s not that you don’t like it—he touches you in a way you read about in romance novels, like you’re a butterfly sitting gracefully on a petal—and it makes you forget all the things you think you are (the opposite of graceful, and certainly not as dainty and cute as a butterfly).

When he looks at you, he doesn’t see those things. Sure, he is aware you’re no runway model or hollywood actress, but he would rather you be you. Because he doesn’t fall in love with the people he sees on the screens, the people that seem so perfect they’re not real, the people who seem about as dry as a graham cracker.

Instead, he sees your slightly messy hair and the way your head ever so slightly naturally rests on one side. He thinks it’s cute, you kind of look like a puppy, but he would never tell you that. He thinks he loves you not because of your size, or your skin, or anything so superficial and fake, but because of the way you doodle in the corner of book pages and swear by wearing sun cream, because it’s so good for you all the other million reasons you list.

Minho looks at your eyes, still slightly wide and taken back, then at your lips, bitten and cracked and utterly kissable.

For the first time, Minho presses his lips against yours, and he doesn’t think he ever wants to kiss anyone else ever again. It’s you, it has been since he met you, and it will be when you leave, for the rest of his life. He smiles to himself, still against your lips. You taste like soft vanilla and blueberries, and he is already obsessed.

Mistletoes and Mayhem

I drew this last year but it wasn't Christmas time, so I waited. This is fanart for non-other than @changethecircumstances fanfic Mistletoe and Mayhem. I absolutely love their works for the Frenchie/Izzy ship as they basically captained the whole thing. The story was never finished but what few chapter were out I loved. I have read ever OFMD work they have made and even though I am not in any of the fandoms they writ effort currently, I like to support from behind. If you are looking for a good ship with Izzy (and my personal favorite), I definitely recommend their works.

I honestly kind of hate this and since have learned so much about art that I may redraw it as I have been rereading some of their fics again (currently on in order to get to the heart sometimes you have to cut through for like the 4th time). Maybe, maybe not but as winter break is soon, I should have some free time.

Anyways, go look at their blog and read their work, you won't regret it!

#I cannot stress enough how many times I have re-read their works #The plots are so good #Like I started with the fae/vampire #and then went onto the king/assassin #and now on the second book in the series I'm currently reading #Love their works to bits #but why is the frenchie/izzy tag ouizzy?? #like I get it because 'oui" for french but come on #WE MISSED THE CHANCE TO CALL OUR FUCKING SHIP FRIZZY #LIKE HOW CUTE IS THAT??? #art #my art #ofmd fanart #frenchie/izzy #frenchie #frenchie ofmd #izzy hands #ofmd izzy #izzy hands fanart #izzy fanart #frenchie fanart

belladonna by adalyn grace has me literally swooning. gothic stuff is not rly my cup of tea but i fell in LOVE with it. the fmc in this book totally reminds me of evangeline, and the love interest is snarky like jacks and cardan greenbriar combined yet inexplicably cares for his girl 🤭
