#i hope that the list is complete

[sweet-s0rr0w]

How is 2023 almost over?? This fandom year was a mixed bag for me; in good news, I managed to shake the awful writer's block of 2022, but sadly that definitely meant that I spent less time reading. In the first half of the year I kept up with Dronarry fest, and Wireless, but since the summer I've been working on a longfic and have definitely found that it's impaired my ability to read longer stuff. With that in mind, the lovely @drarrymyheart very kindly offered to step in and help out, and so in addition to my own recs, I present a few of her recs that I've heard great things about, but haven't got round to yet myself <3 these are denoted by stars (⭐)! There are some absolute bangers on this list (imho), and it features such a wide range in terms of length and tropes, that I really hope there's something here for everyone. All Drarry unless otherwise specified. Wishing you all a 2024 full of joy!

May 22, 2023 - Monday

I always dread Mondays because it signals the end of the little pocket of time that I can call ‘free’ but today wasn’t too bad if I do say so myself 😌 Alhamdulillah. Probably because I didn’t grade as much as I should have for today LOL. I’m telling you… teaching and grading are two different, mutually exclusive jobs lol if I do one I can NOT get myself to do the other✨

Today’s highlight: sketching from my to-do pile of reference pics

#I did do a lot of other work tho 🥲 but work that won’t put a dent in my long grading list tho #like proofreading and giving back comments on essay drafts #since I grade first drafts based on completion and not merit #hope they fix everything I said so I can just read the final draft and give out 100s #notes #studyblr

“So no Argyle?”

#actually completely and totally possible that the list arent the only characters in the whole ep #i hope… #stranger things

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

[wataeicentric]

I feel as though people (mostly people who aren't insanely wataeipilled, or involved with shipping in general) are misunderstanding what we're upset about. It's not the simple assumption that we want wataei to be "canon" and that we're upset that that can't happen because of Eichi getting married, it's that HappyEle have been on a character assassination spree recently (Izumi in Mad Party & Kohaku in Last Mission) and we're worried that's going to happen to Wataru and/or Eichi. Regardless of shipping, Eichi never told Wataru, who's supposed to be his "best friend" that he's essentially been engaged to Tori's sister for the best part of a year. If Wataru isn't upset about this, then they've done it once again, because Wataru trusts Eichi to take his mask off around him; whilst the mask is "him", the "mask's purpose" (the title of his card in EP:Link) is to hide oneself. Wataru took it off for EICHI and Eichi ALONE. He put himself on display, allowed his facade to begin to fade around him and be his authentic "self" and opened himself up to possibly even be hurt (which he was immediately, by the way, and CRIED over it. HIBIKI WATARU. CRIED. Because Eichi was indifferent to his confession of love) because he trusts Eichi, and Eichi's told Wataru before (Tempest) that he also trusts him. So, is it or is it not blatant character assassination, and possibly even going back on their more recent development of becoming more honest with each other, if Wataru is not upset with this development?

#Question isn't rhetoric btw I'm open to people disagreeing with me #wataei #eichi tenshouin #tenshouin eichi #wataru hibiki #hibiki wataru #enstars #I hope I don't sound absolutely insane here #i constantly doubt what I'm talking about whenever i talk about them because i'm terrified of being wrong #i personally think that akira will take the story in a preferable direction but we're not wrong for expecting the worst #considering how completely bastardised Izumi's character was in mad party #and how little Kohaku's emotions were payed attention in Last Mission #It's not completely out of nowhere to say 'wataei in atlantis' could possibly be the next on the list #however i sincerely hope they're not #i'd also like to mention how most of us just wanted the story to be about fine reflecting on their development as a unit and as friends #much like crazy:b's and ra*bits' climax events #and some may also be upset that that's not the case #not me personally but something i've heard #valentine's rambles

A Definitive List of Agnes Nutter's Prophecies

To the best of my knowledge, this is every single prophecy ever seen or mentioned in Good Omens, drawing from the book, show, radio drama, official promotional materials, and photos of the prophecy book prop itself.

I've kept all partial duplicates (i.e. 1002 and 3989, 3477 and 4020, 3819 and 4019), and I've included prophecies where we know the content but not the actual wording.

#good omens #gomens #agnes nutter #the nice and accurate prophecies of agnes nutter #I spent way too long trying to put together a complete list of prophecies to just NOT share it. so #I hope someone other than me finds this useful lmao #I'll be using it for my anathema cosplay for this halloween #(wish me luck in attempting to bind a whole-ass book sjhdbfvsjdf) #mine

[merakiui]

i wanted to make a comprehensive list of fics i intend to finish and post so that i can keep track of them! i hope what's written is interesting! please look forward to it!!! :D

in no particular order:

✧ heartache hospital - yandere!scaramouche x gender neutral!reader. it's a story with a lot of angst, in which scara meets his first love in a hospital setting. it is also a modern portrayal of scara's backstory.

✧ 11:11 — sugar dew sewn anew - yandere!rook hunt x gender neutral!reader. it's the fic written based off of poll results. it's a gruesome story in which a hunter is sickly obsessed with the artist who visits to paint his likeness.

✧ the most dangerous game - yandere!jade leech x female!reader. a story in which you pine for floyd, and from the sidelines jade pines for you. you and jade make a deal to feed one another's desires, but the relationship quickly spirals out of control.

✧ untitled lunar love hotel order - yandere!alhaitham x gender neutral!reader. you desperately need a place to stay, so alhaitham offers his place. but there are a few strings attached to his generosity.

✧ moonbroch - yandere!octavinelle trio x gender neutral!reader. the sequel to sea glass. it's a story where you, a newly transformed mer, continue to question your connection to the trio and attempt to regain lost memories while the trio are determined to keep you tucked away at the bottom of the sea.

✧ azul thought 2's sequel - yandere!azul ashengrotto x female!reader. it's the happenings that take place directly after azul tracks you down and corners you in an alleyway in the sunset savanna. is it possible to escape him now that he's acquired a human form? is it possible to keep a world-shattering secret from your husband leona? is it possible to find unlikely allies amidst a scary situation? perhaps. perhaps not. :)

✧ eternally ever after - yandere!rook hunt x female!reader. a story where you find yourself trapped in a time loop with rook, who seems to have strange motives...

✧ the crocodile's dilemma - yandere!riddle rosehearts x gender neutral!reader. a story in which riddle is many years into his career as a magic doctor, and all it takes is one mistake to throw his life incredibly off its course.

#meraki mumbles #meraki fic list #<- for me to find later! #11:11 is nearly complete so i hope to release it soon hehe
