i should reread iron widow… it’s so fucking good.

#it’s a technically-ya novel with really fucked up mechs and giant monsters and political schemes and revenge. #and canonical queer polyamory and brutal torture (related to the revenge! :3) and so so so much fucked up shit. #it feels like a violent ‘fuck you’ to darling in the franxx’s extreme gender essentialism while pulling on different themes common to other #mecha anime. with motifs and characters pulled from chinese history and mythology. and it’s REALLY GOOD. #very much a book for me. i am a grown-ass adult but i am nonetheless the target demographic for this novel. #(it’s not a book for everyone and i don’t expect ALL of you would enjoy it. but it is very very much a book for me.) #hilariously. it is actually kind of a ‘fuck you’ to darling in the franxx. this is mentioned in the acknowledgements at the end. #v speaks!
