#is book 3 already out

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

ORV is about enduring the horrors in real time.

(for @everyonesfavoritebastard)

#omniscient reader's viewpoint #kim dokja #yoo joonghyuk #I read a few arcs of ORV a few years back so I am at least loosely familiar with the characters and premise. #ORV dares ask the question: “what if you finally met your beloved blorbo who helped you cope through the horrors - and he *hates you*” #The reversal of what most people feel about some of their blorbos (love them but would never want to meet someone like that in person) #I would love to keep reading orv but it is very long and I already promised to finished like...3 other shows and several books. #my gesture of affection is consuming the media my friends care about. Alas I have none who are into orv to motivate me. #Also hey there raffle winner everyonesfavouritebastard - you gave no prompt at all so I took a random swing based on ur pfp and blog #I hope you like kim dokja! I am terribly sorry if you meant to leave a prompt and something glitched #EDIT: Found out raffle winner everyonesfavouritbastard didn't know it was a raffle. Homie...I'm So Sorry. #Now I *really* hope you like Kim Dokja. #You're so valid; I too would be mesmerized by the beauty of stackedbird's lovely little apple art.

The Spider And Her Demons

YA Australian urban fantasy/horror

about a Malaysian-Chinese girl who’s half spider-demon, just trying to keep her head down and survive high school

when she accidentally kills and eats a man in front of the most popular girl at school, they strike up a strange friendship and she starts to learn more about herself and the supernatural world

aroacespec/sapphic ish

#The Spider And Her Demons #Sydney Khoo #loveozya #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #you give me a teenage girl with giant hair spider legs who scuttles across her bedroom wall on page 3 #and then eats a man and i am already sold. #also aus books are always so familiar compared to US books :) #and yes sexuality stuff is ambiguous but basically: a bunch of discussion on relationship hierachies (ie friendship equally/more important) #themes of feeling unlovable bc you're different and different forms of love #multiple times the MC says she has no interest in dating or relationships and also is touch (and maybe sex) repulsed #- but of course that Also has to do with the whole Being A Monster thing #and it definitely shows some kind of attraction to dior - ie looking at her lips/bare skin; blushing; etc #and ends on sort of hand kiss / 'is this something??' vibes #I asked the author and they said they see them as QPR / platonic soulmates but are not at the point where they would know what to call it #which makes total sense to me! #the part of me who wants more obvious aroace YA wishes it was a little more specific #but also I DO love ambiguity and I think it wouldn't be true to the characters #who are clearly not even ready to start figuring that stuff out. #and also. aroacespec sapphics is like. also something i want #also like.

hey guys, the ending of alex rider season 3. i will never get over it. yassen is free. he saved alex and in return alex freed him from scorpia. i imagine he's gone off into retirement, back to his home country, just like he planned to.

#i was already sobbing my eyes out during the last like 10 minutes of the last episode #but like then the scene happened #where alex was about to get pranked by scorpia one final time but yassen ended it #i fucking lost my mind #i was expecting it and hoping and begging for it and HE CAME THROUGH YASSEN IS A LEGEND #this is from the books btw #the fourth book where yassen kept wanting to kill off damian and dip he said he wanted to retire #scorpia never would've let him #but in this universe he's free of them #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #alex rider season 3 spoilers #alex rider season 3 #yassen gregorovich #alex rider

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #alrighty! now for my answers- #for the ranch question I think it varies which is why I'm asking in a poll. What do you think happens most often though? #each answer is a fun scenario so it's difficult to choose #but I think they'd try to act politely around Malon and Time for the first couple visits with straws or rock paper scissors #or showing generosity by offering the bed to someone else. (I bet Malon saying they're charming is quite the incentive #for more possible compliments. The chain as a whole would want to prove her right xD ) #Once they're more comfortable in the house though I can totally see Wind and Legend making a mad dash for it while Wars yells after them xD #Wind probably ends up sharing with Four a lot since they're the littles #or Wind snuggles in with Wars Legend Wild etc #Wild and Twi/Wolfie have claimed the spot on the floor by the fireplace. #For inn rooms / castle rooms / camping - I tend to group them by how they're grouped a lot already #but a lil mixed up #Time - Sky - Wars are the good rest trio. they want a good night's rest please let them get their beauty sleep. often joined by Four #Wars goes between this group and wherever Legend is depending on how chatty he is that night. #Twi - Wild - Hyrule are snuggle/proximity buddies #Legend is attached to Hyrule's hip or sets up near Warriors to gossip and gripe. I can also see him setting up near Wild #in the eye of the storm as it were or just an interesting place to be. Wild and Hyrule can get to chatting about everything and anything #so if Legend wants background noise (Hyrule and Wild podcast omg)- #or a conversation he can be half a part of and jump in and out of while getting ready for the night or in the mornings- #this is a good place to be. add Wind and things get a bit more chaotic. #Wind gravitates to Wars and Legend too when curious and chatty. He gravitates towards Time when he wants something calmer. #Four tends to be near Sky or Twi or to Legend's group for the same reasons #I can see Four and Twi having a little book club going during downtimes where they talk about what they're reading. Sky likes to listen. <3 #Wind thinks they're nerds but so is he and he can't resist a good story so he orbits and sometimes settles in and peppers questions. #it's funny that Time Sky and Wars want to sleep the most but Legend follows Wars to chat (and ends up bringing people with him xD ) #there could be some conflict there oooo #Twi is by Time #it's almost a circle but with clusters of sleeping bags near on top of each other and filling the gaps

witcher media masterpost:

The Hexer: 2001 movie (aka The Witcher; polish movie) 2 hours long, contains english subtitles, audio cuts out for a brief period towards the end. The Hexer: TV series (2002) (aka The Witcher; polish tv show)13 episodes long, contains english subtitles

Wiedźmin audiobooks (aka The Witcher audiobooks; polish) a bit harder to navigate for non-polish speakers, fragments of them can also be found on youtube.

The Witcher books Multiple translations exist. You can buy both physical copies or the e-books. There are PDFs of them floating around online also.

The Witcher comics (english translation) You can find these at various sources online in a variety of languages, or in bookstores!

The Witcher games (The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt + DLCs) You can buy them yourself on Steam (or elsewhere), they're frequently on sale (as a bundle) on Steam for dirt-cheap. There are also playthroughs of all of the games available on youtube.

additionally there's Online Gwent (or stand-alone Gwent), which is free, though you can buy in-game items and things. The mechanics are different from TW3 Gwent. There's also Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (available on steam; playthrough available on youtube), which makes use of the Online Gwent mechanics.

#I dont feel comfortable linking the PDFs of the witcher books publicly 💀 #but u can DM me instead or smthng & i'll help out 🏴‍☠️ #i'll update this list if necessary #also no i shall not list That One Adaptation that's currently ongoing #im pretty sure everyone knows about that one already #the witcher #wiedzmin #the hexer #the witcher books #the witcher games #tw3 #tw2 #witcher #masterpost #making this bc i linked the hexer tv show to people earlier and turns out its a hard-to-find link? so maybe this'll make it easier <3

For any Nevermoor fans that've ever been interested in getting their hands on the UK hardcover editions of the series, with the wonderful cover designs..... I think they might be out of print (which. makes sense with the gold foil) so. goodluck and godspeed for finding them secondhand, because it was surprisingly hard to do online.

#nevermoor #full disclosure I discovered this like a month ago but wanted to wait until all of mine arrived correctly to share just in case 🫣🫣🫣 #I was terrified they’d send paperbacks or non-UK editions instead lol #I now have three sets of first three books. mental illness. can silverborn come out already 😭😭😭 #afaik the wundersmiths are still in stock officially just based on some wording the supply is dwindling lol #got nevermoor and wundersmith in the mail the other day as I posted about. 😁. #hollowpox arrived today from a different seller and with less damage from the transit but oh well #bc one seller had 1 and 2 while another had 3. 🤷😔 lol #they do seem to be in stock signed! normally + used but I didn’t want that bc I think the neon plain sprayed edges are soooo ugly I’m sorry #also I’d love to get my books signed personally one day. all….. nine and counting of them…… lolllll…. #I have the american hollowpox signed bc I got it thru the owlcrate box which was fun! #RIP to chances of a silverborn box though now that owlcrate jr is discontinued 😭😭😭

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written

#A Reflection of Starlight #AROS #valvert #fanfic #writing #Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer #(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009) #And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot #but ANYWAY #does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text #which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers #Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY #Like what in god's name??? #I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back #the second I reopened the document like jesus christ #Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file #HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH #I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits #JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red #And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue #bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them #Ugh #So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself #That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written #if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation #And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience #It's still one book in my heart #And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount #Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that #with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

im gonna go to war with anyone and everyone who said att*llo needs more branching or choices like stfu fr .

#it's in chapter 4 of like 3 books the branches are fkn coming. #if you want a book with hella meaningless branching out the ass go play wayh*ven or some other romance/character-driven book #i hate cog fans fr everyone seems to want every cog to be exactly the same #no offense but a game not referencing your purple hair in game and not including flavor text for the right turn you took 3 choices ago- #- isn't the shortcoming you seem to think it is #everything that makes this game so special and unique and ppl are saying 'nooo be more like everyone elseeee' die by my hand. #NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY FUCKING BRANCHESSSSSS #the dream sequence the choices about who to visit the things you choose to read the branches of areas you visit. THEYRE RIGHT THEREEEE

It's always intriguing to me how a subset of people reading 2ha reinvent this opinion, because of what assumptions it implies they're making about other readers with all the confidence of having only read a fraction of the story.

Like, inevitably, some subset of people who read 2ha constantly believe that basically all the other readers, AND THE AUTHOR HERSELF, are telling them "ignore the nice one, pick the mean one," and they assert this as if it's never occurred to them that maybe the 2/3rds of the book they haven't read yet might contain information and reveals about these characters that will change their views.

I guess I just don't get it? To me the way 2ha is framed, in those early chapters I was definitely thinking "I don't get ranwan yet..." but knowing what others said and who the main ship was I felt like the whole book had a huge "wait for iiiiiit" flag on it.

I guess I just can't fathom reading a book the way I see some people read 2ha. It's honestly an intriguing insight in some respects into a very different way of engaging with source material than I do.

Anyway, for people who've read the entire book, what to ship is absolutely a matter of opinion. You do you.

For people who haven't... weird flex tbh. Definitely recommend you revisit this post around chapter 285/290.

#2ha #unforth rambles #i thought about reblogging op but i dont really want to put them on blast or expose them to spoilers #but i just like uh wow #definitely everything we're going to learn about these three characters has already been revealed in book 3 of the eng translation #we'll see how that turns out for you op

Look before the War Within starts and Anduin gets to work on his Shadowlands gotten trauma and development I need to dunk on him (affectionate) for a quick second okay?

So in Before the Storm he has this line:

"Her [Sylavnas's] eyes narrowed. Anduin knew she understood the lesson of this day's tragic events. She was not universally loved among her people. He was. She ruled with an iron fist. He ruled with compassion. (pg347)"

Which comparatively sure, fair. Sylvanas has just put a hard, murderous, stop to Calia's first attempt at girlbossing and killed about half the desolate council. Before the Storm is what it needed to be for BfA and beyond.

But I would like to point out that earlier in the book we have this:

"Anduin had been informed that negative sentiment was not limited to his advisors. Guards and Shaw's people had reported that there was muttering in some of the taverns and on the streets. The guards had been instructed to interrupt such conversations if they verged on sedition or grew violent. (pg 248)"

Baby boy that is not universally beloved and ruling with compassion. Lol. Lmao even.

I've scrawled all in my copy with little notes and I have a messy word document with rewrite ideas for this 6 (!) year old book. I am excited to see what we have going on under Silithus. In the end WoW is a video game that needs to keep selling and making new storylines.

#felt nice to type that up even if i might stick this post back in jail (drafts) #no one irl to get real picky about video game book excerpts for some reason lol #do I tag this with main tags? I already feel a little swinging at the hornets nest but its in general supposed to be light hearted I promis #ehh #warcraft #before the storm #z's before the storm rewrite #anduin wrynn #sylvanas windrunner #also she's terrible (affectionate) but sylvanas' exchange with anduin over Calia's dead body is actually kind of funny ngl #she came as a healer! >:( vs she leaves as a corpse >:3 #what I do want for this rewrite should I buckle down and do it is really work out that Calia is a deeply traumatized person #and Saa'ra did her dirty in my opinion #gonna get you reconnected with old friends (Jainia) and find your husband boo #I am going to probably retcon your baby tho

Now I don’t have like, a solid canon basis for this, it’s literally just my fun hc, but I like to think that on some level Atsushi is the book. Like, if you’ve ever watched Dr Who, in one of the specials there is a weapon that’s so powerful it develops its own consciousness, and I just think with the way Atsushi is the supposed wayfinder of the book, in DA shibusawa said he was the envy of all abilities/users, and he said his own regenerative ability doesn’t heal wounds but negate or rewrite them, I just like to think it would be kinda cool if he was a manifestation of the book itself

#writing this at 3 am so if it doesn’t make sense im slepy #and idk how it would work but like I just like to think the Book ended up in the orphanage #like Fitzgerald and Fyodor have said the book is in Yokohama somewhere #and we’ve seen as a kid atsushi spent most of his time in the library I think? #and we already know he’s gone Some Connection to it #but I also feel like his parents have the potential to be Important so idk how that would pan out #idk idk like I said this is silly and doesn’t have a real solid canon defense #I’ve also been rewatching Dr Who if you can’t tell #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bsd atsushi
