Jimmy: now come on! You say I do stupid stuff! Man was on one heart- half a heart, and he did not eat. He was not eating!
Jimmy: I have no words- Tango? Tango! Come on now, man.
Jimmy: maybe that’s why we’re ranchers, holy moly. That was silly, and I’m silly, *zoom in on Jimmy putting his fingers together* put two together. Double silly. Double life. Double rancher.
Excitement and memes aside, I still can’t fucking believe there is an actual city named Treviso in Dragon Age… like, I’ve been to Treviso, my dad was born in Treviso, that’s a fucking real ass city in Italy and I can’t decide if this is the funniest thing ever or if I’ve ascended to a whole new plane of existence.
Sure things that my next protagonist will be from there no question asked.
Well here is something I thought I'd never cross off the reach-for-the-stars daydream bucket list. Dragonfall's paperback will be extra shiny and extra red over at Barnes and Noble when it releases in paperback June 25th.
Teen me would definitely not believe something like this would ever happen. 35 year old me can't quite believe it is happening.
Dragonfall is both commercial and on-trend (I released a dragon book the same day as Fourth Wing, lol) yet also experimental and decidedly weird. Thank you to everyone who still had faith when I struggled massively with self-confidence behind the scenes as I wrangled (& continue to wrangle!) the sequel.
But holy shit. The biggest bookstore chain in the US (!) is giving my weird, queer dragon book this lovely boost of support. It's such a stroke of luck and stars aligning and the hard work of a lot of people, and I'm so grateful.
I might be doing some US events (probably New York?) in July--early days, but looking into it.
This is usually a finite quantity, so if you want a copy of this version, it's worth pre-ordering:
Today has been absolutely magnificent because a little parcel of pure joy arrived for me this afternoon. I have in my sweaty little paws the fanbinding of Nothing But You On My Mind by @sits-bound and not only was it as beautiful as it looked in the photos, but @sits-bound actually went a whole incredible step further and did a new binding which added my Erised fic Nothing Gold Can Stay - it's a mother fricken double bind you guys.
I cried.
Look at how clever the spine is, and you flip the book over to read each half! Look at the little charms on the bookmark! Moon, Flower, Rose! And the decal on the cover! The gorgeous paper! The fonts! The beautiful little graphics between the sections for Nothing Gold Can Stay, its the little water glass that Draco couldn't bring himself to tip out because it was the last thing Harry had put his lips on! Can you see why I'm still crying????
This was such a beautiful and moving gift and I can't thank you enough @sits-bound, you are wonderful and I love it so much. I've said it before but I'll reiterate, this will be going with me in the coffin one day.
PFFFT the GenieTV YouTube channel uploaded a clip of Doyoung saving Dongsoo in episode 7 with the title "My savior who came to ruin my life"... Like in The Handmaiden. A+, no notes.
Okay. Flight? Booked. Hotel room? Reserved. Con tickets? Purchased.
I guess I can safely say: Next month I'm going to go see Andy Serkis for the 3rd time this year! 😍🫠😵💫
AND I get to meet more of my lovely Andy mutuals!! 🥰🥺🥳
Truly cannot believe it. Gonna be so normal. Again. Definitely won't act like a feral goblin in line. I can absolutely be trusted with the volume of my voice when I get excited.
In my defense, have you seen this man? Send thoughts and prayers so I don't have a cardiac episode. (This is only kind of a joke, the man gave me literal heart issues around the first con in June.)
