No no get started on the whole "new adult" thing, I desperately want to hear

Ok, so here's the thing about New Adult:

It's a genre that's been emerging lately in the catalogs I view when doing frontlists (essentially just pre-orders for upcoming titles) for the book store and I'd been wondering what the hell it was. I'd noticed it was especially common in the descriptors for the romance books, but it was often the ones with that sort of sexy-but-not-full-blown-erotica kind of book that also tended to have the sort of description full of fanfic trope terms and "for fans of [usually a Young Adult title]" or "like [popular title] combined with [other popular title]!!" <- and here it's important to note that the popular titles don't always sound like they would mesh well.

And finally, FINALLY, one of these books is highlighted by the sales rep who works with us and she's got a little blurb about it and I get my first useful description of what "New Adult" is:

"Imagine the golden age of YA - The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments - but aged up and spicy."

S P I C Y

Which would explain why they're not-quite-erotica type books, you see, we're not straight up PORN we're just ✨️spicy✨️

Nevermind that a lot of these books do have sex in them, but whatever, it's SPICY because that's what's popular to say on BookTok!

Oh. Right. Yeah. BookTok also gets mentioned a lot in listings for this sort of title.

And yes, this includes the Court of... books by Sarah J Maas and things like The Infatuated Fae books by Jeaneane O'Riley. In fact, I'm pretty sure O'Riley was described as a "BookTok darling" in the contributor bio part of the listing, but don't quote me on that, I'd have to look at the listing again.

Anyway, these are some of the biggest offenders regarding that whole "we will describe this with fanfic buzz terms and BookTok girlies will eat it up :)" issue.

#replies #answered #again i think Macmillan and Sourcebooks have had some of the more... interesting entries in the New Adult category #oh haha also go look up the LJ Shen Sinners of Saint books those made me laugh and also cry when I was looking at the listings #and yes another point i didn't put in the body of the post is like.. u know all those books that came out after titles like Hunger Games #where they completely miss what made it popular #yeah i feel like there's a lot of that in the New Adult stuff especially w certain character types #idk how they make every single protagonist sound exactly the same or make every male love interest cold and distant #hhhhggghh slogging through these books is soooo boring and painful sometimes but u get through it to find the couple of #interesting looking titles mixed in there #i complain a lot about the deluge of romance and new adult titles but there are some cool looking books upcoming too #i might make a post about that later but here u go i hope that answers ur question hsgshsg

He has tan skin, short, choppy, black hair and beard, and round glasses that glint in a way that reflects light. He is dressed in a green kimono with its sleeves held up and deer hide chaps. in the bottom left corner a piece of the red war bow he's holding can be seen. The man on the right is standing with both arms at ease beside his body, his back slightly turned to the camera. He has pale skin, auburn-red hair tied up in a high ponytail and a thick beard. He's very thin and wearing a dark purplish kimono with the sleeves held up and black samurai pants. A pistol and a katana can be seen hanging by his belt. The left arm of this man, facing the viewer, is covered in bright red blood.]

Something about troll reproduction is that everyone alive in the empire had to have gotten some fuck at some point. And that makes me look at The Behemoth and wonder if the other participant has to be alive by the end of the ordeal because Wow Look At It. I'm so morbidly curious about the type of troll that it would decide was good enough and if they walked away with something broken or not.

y'all the fact that as I got this ask I was lying here in bed musing to myself about how. There is a universe where the scene of Gamzee meeting the Behemoth that I'm writing ends up with them fucking nasty in some kind of very spur of the moment hookup largely unrelated to quadrants haha. Because Gamzee's down to clown with people who are way too big and not used to being gentle. And actually the fact that he's going to get real bruised at best and injured at worst is a perk. I don't,,, think the scene will go that direction, but it's a diverting thought lmao. Anyway, perfect timing anon thank you.

....I do wonder. If you're enough of a deadly motherfucker that you can and would rather kill a drone than bother with finding some kind of Beauty And The Beast romance situation. Would the drones smell/see/sense a troll covered in the blood and death/distress hormones of a drone and go "well, this one passes muster" and keep moving. Could you look at this situation and just go "well obviously I'll kill my way out with brute force." What then.

#price of forgiveness #ask time! #Gianna Yozuna #is some part of my brain like BIG DANGEROUS BRUTE YIPPEE? yes because i am a monster-fucker (ace) (theoretical) #I am also like Wow Look At It but I have my chin in my hands #I mean I guess I can't read your tone over the internet and this is the monster-fucker website maybe I am not the only one who's like #oh shit a huge deadly beaft 👀💦 oh dear! oh dear oh dear. #anyway yeah like logistically i'm sure drone season is a real pain in the ass for Yozuna haha

[todayisafridaynight]

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

#snap chats #haha see i told you last post's tags were relevant #anyway vLKVJEVLKAEJVLKJ IM CRYING ANON youre so funny. this is the funniest ask i coulda got thank you so much #i dont know why i like him either <- yes i do #fine lets get Real Talk about it #well first off all i thought he looked hot rolling out the elevator and i was playing the eng dub and i think his voice sounds hot there #and thats like. not athing that happens to me ever <- literally thought sawashiro was hot two frames into the game but anyway #i like politician characters. or characters that are in a position of power ESPECIALLY if they have to act like they dont suck balls #like i very much love the idea of the power of charisma and that type of thing not to mention the 'strategizing' as aoki puts it #that comes with politics. LIKE HE SUCKS DONT GET IT TWISTED HE SUCKS BUT //shrug emoji// #like its why i love the mine rggo stories i like seeing mine's thought process and how he uses his intelligence #smart's sexy to me idk what to tell you but moving on #its fun watching him lose his cool too ESP IN HIS FIGHT LMAO HE STOMPIN HIS FOOT LIKE A TODDLER SHUT UP #i also really love the arakawa family in general and thinking of aoki's relationship with each of them makes my brain explode #especially him and sawashiro that shit is painful to watch and i love it so much #i also thought him going from goth to republican was the funniest shit in the world like i howled at that AND i was distraught #aokis so interesting to me from the notion that he IS loved by his family but he has so much hatred for himself it eats him up #and as a result he cant be happy no matter what he does- how hes constantly seeking validation even if it's nothing meaningful #his lil. Dog-Eat-Dog world world belief to ichi also appealed to my edgy depressed high schooler brain. sorry. #his speech at the lockers also got to me. unfortunately. sorry everyone i empathized too hard it got too real it wasnt funny anymore #like as much as i complain bout the very end the ending is what solidified me liking aoki if not also cause of ichi's impact in those scene #plus... analyzing him and the environment around him is so much fun too.... #idk reasons for why i like aoki also boil down to personal reasons. he still sucks tho so i cant be upset when people hate him LOL #i probably have more reasons or could elaborate more i love rambling but i mean. who really wants to read all that 💀💀 #maybe for a character that WASNT the worst but. aoki is so LMAO #thank you for loving my art regardless :) im sorry i have to be attached to the worst guys ever

what color character are you?

red character

ㅤRed characters tend to be both quiet and observant as well as loud and dramatic. They are often brash and impulsive, and tend to act on instinct rather than planning ahead. They are quite self-sacrificing, often veering into self-destructive, and they push themselves to their limits trying to succeed. They tend to be stubborn, and it might take a lot to change their mind. They have a hard time expressing their feelings, and may come off as either emotionless, self-absorbed, or perpetually angry. They don’t have a ton of friends, and when they do, it’s often by circumstance rather than choice (although they grow to fiercely love their friends). They are not usually innately good at fitting into social situations, and can be awkward and out of place in them. They can come off as unhumorous because of how sincere and honest they tend to be, but tend to just have a dryer, sarcastic sense of humor. They do often think of others first, but their motivations for it might not be entirely selfless. They usually have a hard time conceivably lying, and are quite earnest without meaning to be. They put their full effort into what they do, and push themselves to improve at all costs. They get easily defensive, and feel like they have to prove themselves to earn anyone’s respect. They have a strong sense of internal morality and high standards for themselves. They also hold others to their internal high standards, which can cause a lot of conflict if not worked out. They tend to have bad relationships with their parental figures, who were usually either absent or abusive, and contributed to their toxic view of themselves. At their core, red characters want to be loved and accepted, but have often been denied it, leading them to build up lots of defenses. Others need to be patient with them and give them a safe space to be themselves as they open up and begin to flourish.

now that i'm home and in moderate pain that isn't helped by the painkillers i get to repeat my favorite joke!

ah yes my favorite kind of painkillers. the ones that don't work.

#i'm so angry at myself. and my mother. #also everyone at the hospital who told me to stop screaming in pain. fuck them too. #fuck them especially. fuck them ESPECIALLY for being like #''haha what a voice she has'' about me SCREAMING AND CRYING BECAUSE OF PAIN #why didn't i just fucking leave beforehand. i even thought about it #my mother tried to tell me that i should have just started an actual discussion with her about the surgery #yes i should have. but have you ever considered taking my emotional pain seriously. even if im crying #every time she asked me i said i wasn't sure. #why did i do it. #and honestly why did i even live long enough for this #i'm so fucking angry at myself.

listening to kencen again against my better judgement. thinking about the review that described the arbiter as offering "much-needed comedic relief." well chess is already comedic if you're sick in the head we didn't need mr Well That Just Happened commenting on every other plotpoint

#i think that is one of the big weaknesses of kencen to be honest... it's not sincere enough #chess is a very silly show yes but the characters treat it with complete sincerity #so as long as you can accept the premise you can get invested in the emotional states. usually this is not an issue #but the danny strong script seems incredibly self-conscious and needs to constantly say Haha Isn't This Silly! #and it breaks your suspension of disbelief! they're shooting themselves in the foot! it's almost painful to listen to! #sorry i'm. auuughghghhgh. i am normal about chess the musical #.txt

Sorry just remembered like over ten years ago my sister tried to play Oppression Olympics™ between Sasuke and Neji, claiming Sasuke's had a harder life and like yeah his entire family was killed and his brother made him watch it and that sucks.

Neji's family literally owns him.

Look I don't want to compare them or anything, and having to watch your family die is, objectively awful, but being actively kept as a slave by your own family is also an objectively awful thing lol

#Naruto #Neji Hyuga #Sasuke Uchiha #and like also Sasuke lives in pain from what happened because he actively chooses to let it consume him #that's like a major character flaw of his #it's literally his entire motivation for joining Orochimaru #like losing his family and being forced to watch was a one-time event that Sasuke *actively* refuses to move on from #(two-time if you count the time he at twelve years old picked a fight with Itachi and thought he'd win for some reason) #Neji however lives suffering because he quite literally has no choice #Neji doesn't have a choice in being a slave that's just what his life is #I'm not trying to claim that one has it worse than the other #but I feel like that context is also pertinent #yes I've been kind of bitter about this for over 10 years lol #but I will *never* get over my sister's ''oh well what does *Neji* have to be miserable about?'' comment #it's like ''he's literally a slave boo'' lol #there were other characters she was comparing him too at the time but Sasuke was the big one haha #trash king rambles #actually you know what I'll say it #compared to basically every other ''tragic backstory'' character in the series #Sasuke's is actually pretty tame #yeah he lost his family but at least pretty much everyone still loves him #Kimimaro was raised in a cage and then also watched his entire family die #Gaara's dad tried to assassinate him several times and his entire village despised him #Naruto was treated like a literal monster by basically the entire village and he also has no family #Sasuke's just the most dramatic of the Trauma Orphans™ honestly like get over it lol

And second request, would you please draw a Narrator/Stanley outfit swap, because I stated thinking of them dressing up as each other for Halloween/just for fun and think it sounds neat!

Day 26 - Leave the sleeve up, leave it alone!

#My art #Requestober #The Stanley Parable #TSP #The Narrator #Stanley #The real joke here is that their clothes actually fit each other at all lol #Sinister is a string bean and Narra is short and stocky - hopefully his bulk would account for vertical stretch? #Considering I view Stanley's shirt as a cotton/blend of some kind it's a miracle he's not bursting the seams hehehe ♪ #And of course he wears it correctly! Buttons down the collar for the first time since it started existing lol #And while in his proper dress mood he turns his eye to Stanley to start making it his problem as well lol #Poor Sinister! Narra literally doesn't care even a little bit haha #Generally Stanley keeps his arm uncovered - as shown in his usual outfit! - since he's prone to overheating #Plus it's always irritated so any kind of abrasion - even just cloth - can be painful #But I mean if Narra cared in the first place his arm wouldn't look or feel the way it does lol #What's a bit of pulling the sleeve down so it looks ''correct'' among friends/enemies/lovers/existential soulmates #That aside they do look cute haha #Stanley in something kinda fluffy and plush ♪ And the Narrator in a simple button-down! #I feel like he'd want to put at least a vest over it lol - yes a button down is fine but mmnggg layers! #Oh and he gets to keep his glasses - for now - so he's not just stumbling around for authenticity's sake #Not that he's about to allow Stanley the same grace hehe ♪

can i talk about how much being around other spider people would mean to peter after he's been so incredibly lonely post-nwh. can i talk about it

#i say this like i have very coherent thoughts BUT #it's just so good... #through ALL the pain and grief and complete uprooting of his life that he had to put together again all alone... the knowledge #that there were just TWO people who understood him and hopefully remember him... who Helped him #in a way nobody else ever could. it means SO much to him. it sticks with him.. you can see it in the way he incorporates them #into his new suit... so to have a chance like that AGAIN to be seen. known. understood... #after not being able to talk with ANYONE about SO MUCH for? at least a few months probably but after going through #so much it's gonna feel like forever anyway... #the idea of it makes me so 🥺 idk #yes haha funny he's the guy who almost broke the multiverse he's gonna be annoying and stubborn #but also /spider people understanding each other/... makes him feel a little less lonely... #🕸 ❝ i have nothing left… except spider man ❞ → ooc
