“When you can’t beat the odds, change the game” I think it’s pretty clear the odds are on Netflix’s side on this one. How do we change the game?

#I’m so deep in denial there’s no way I give up on this one. I read two books 500+ pages each to watch a cancelled show? nah uncancell it now #six of crows #crooked kingdom #shadow and bone series #shadow and bone tv #shadow and bone show #shadow and bone #shadow & bone #grishaverse #six of crows spin off #soc spinoff #I need this like I need oxygen Netflix I’m in your walls

wanting & laying yourself bare

Yo wants to trust that this time could be different. she wants to believe that Plug could hold her & not break her- that he'll take care of her. she wants to rest in this beautiful connection she's found.

she could've been sarcastic or cutting here- easy enough when you're hurting & terrified- but instead, she made herself vulnerable by expressing her wanting.

Ray desperately wants to be loved unconditionally, despite the hurt, the trauma & the burden of addiction that he still bears. he wants a life with Sand- a second chance.

Sand wants to be able to trust in this, to have this too- so much that he pushes past his hurt (fear too, probably) & tells Ray he can't live without him, either.

Boston wants to give a type of relationship he’s never experienced a chance, & he makes it known.

Top found something so authentic & true with Mew. he doesn't just want Mew- he wants him to trust in him, in them. Mew didn't answer him here with words, but I think he'll get there.

what makes this all so profound is that these aren't surfacey, simple wants. these are wants that sleep next to your bones like a secret, aching wound.

you know the kind…we all have at least one.

it's a personal truth- often rooted in past pain- that when given a voice lays you bare. some of us spend our entire lives running from moments like these. we'll sabotage ourselves, drive away good people or keep ourselves busy- all to (maybe, hopefully) forget the wanting.

it takes time, self reflection & a fuckton of bravery to make it known, but when you do? you're saying yes to yourself. life will never not hurt us, but giving other people the chance to meet you where you are & give you what you need? to love you, care for you- see you?

that's when you start living. really, actually.

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF RAPE

CAPTIVE PRINCE SPOILERS

You know what? This is.... Paces the room and slaps the wall with an open palm. No, this is definitely..... Punches a hole through the wall.

At this point, at this point, if I was Laurent, I would just let my uncle kill to be fucking honest. This is the height of things that have happened and I am losing my mind. It's not like I'm surprised, it's just the overwhelming audacity and endless betrayal.

I'm the one with unnatural feelings? ME?? YOU'RE the one who f*cking RAPED ME at the vulnerable age of THIRTEEN!!! I would lose my shit.

Not only has the Regent let this stupid believable rumour foster because everyone is well aware of how much Laurent worshipped his brother Auguste, but now he raises it as a countermeasure against Laurent ever revealing the truth. Like who the fuck are the people going to believe? Their bitchy prince or their seemingly benevolent leader with a heart of gold (he goes around fucking children!!! He's been bedding Nico since he was TEN!!! SCREAMS IN UNDILUTED RAGE!!)

I can't! I can't stand him. How?! Omg. Hoooow can people lie like they speak the truth? How can they do it without a shred of remorse? He took advantage of a young child at the time he needed him the most and he's flaunting that vulnerability, he's using it to his advantage because no one knows he likes children, because those who do know would never fathom that such a good man would do such a thing to his fucking nephew! He turned his nephew into a viper, he is the reason Laurent has no friends, no allies, betrayal and betrayal and yet another betrayal. And when the truth about Damen comes out everything is going to fall apart and I can't stand it. I can't stand any of this! I'm losing my mind. How? How has Laurent possibly put up with this for nearly ten years? I would have just given up and let the Regent take me, this is madness!!

#Please ignore how incoherent this whole thing is #reading this book has been an.... experience #It is so good #omg #not the dynamic I expected but i #genuinely adore every single narrative choice that went into the creation of this book #I'm just losing my mind because I've got to one to talk to and the happy moments are coming to an end and the slow is finally burning #but nah #some people are just shamelessly despicable. #I hope the Regent's balls rott off from the same diseased poison he keeps in his heart #Laurent would have been so small and slightly naive and so very trusting at that age. His brother being the only thing standing between him #and the Regent #and Damen took him away #the revelation will shake him #I feel like I'm going to cry #captive prince #damen of akielos #damianos of akielos #laurent of vere #the regent #The fucking asshole

[des-fangirl]

attention please in werewolf au Vimes & Angua are even COOLER!!!

#i love their dynamic in books i want more of it now that they are both 'dogs' not just figuratively #AMD NOW VIMES HAS A GOOD REASON TO DISLIKE VAMPIRES!!! #wooo #OO OO I REMEMBERED AN IDEA TOO #so #fifth elephant & they meet Angua's family you know #BUT THIS TIME VIMES LIKE HE CAN BE EVEN ANGRIER?? #LIKE BRO IM A WEREWOLF TOO WTF ARE YOU DOING YOU'RE A BITCH (<-Vimes to Angua's brother) #they can mock him for being from a disgraced werewolf family #DO YOU THINK HE'LL BE ABLE TO SAY 'BATH' AND EVERYTHING STILL #like he's been hiding for so long and REPRESSING THAT BEAST IN HIM OMG THAT FITS #so he's more human that wolf now #more like a dog really... #ofc he can say 'Vetinari' he does that like. everyday #I WONDER IF IN THIS AU HE GETS REMINDED OF STONEFACE TOO #like “ahahah remember that one your ancestor? the werewolf that killed the king #yeeea thank god you're not a werewolf. but you're still a bitch just like him tho“ #nah that'd be soo sus like wait what if you ARE a werewolf... #now that i think about it i think there'll be a moment when he doesn't have to hide that anymore? i guess? #but when #MAGPIESKETCHINS CMERE #need your thoughts but too shy to likee askk #des-shitpost #discworld #discworldwerewolf au #A TAG!!!

Is there something about someone else that Wesley secretly envies, even if they'd never say it out loud?

The fact that Ripper still has a living sibling, for one.

#tbf they also envy alonzo's height and maybe i should have answered that instead but nah <3 #f wesley #hollowed minds series #hollowed minds #interactive fiction #wip #writing #ask #anon #hollowed minds book one #if wip #interactive novel

pjo: is not fully accurate to the greek myths or portrayal of the gods, doesn't need to be since it's just a nice introduction to greek mythos but not seeking to be an educational book that people should be referencing in their essays, the only book(s) that could be considered educational and factual would be the greek myths/greek heroes books that percy narrates, but if you want to add something to pjo through fanon wikipedia and the theoi website as a check is probably fine, no one is expecting every fan of the pjoverse to have a PhD in ancient history/religion/mythos

me regardless: i need to check my hundreds of greek/roman mythos books to factcheck this thing i came across on wikipedia and is relevant to this ask just to make sure i'm not messing up a history/mythos thing even though this is related to pjo, where it doesn't really matter so why am i freaking out about it 🤷‍♂️

#shoutout to the person who sent me that neptune ask - i am answering it!! but i am also gonna go upstairs and grab some books lmao #happy's babblings #ah fuck it's raining. okay maybe i'll just give up on the books. or i'll wait. or i'll grab one of my aunt's jackets and head out to mine #also lmao when i was writing that hades and pomegrante tree thing i obsessively searched for info on menoetes #and even looked up a pdf copy of one of the REALLY OLD books that were sourced on theoi website to verify myself #but nah he's got like. zero info other than he exists and guards the cattle lmao and also fought herucles that one time

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

Figuring out Adams' new team because it's killing me and I make charts to cope:

Confirmed: Irey West, Jai West, Maxine Baker

Strongly hinted at: Cerdian of Shayeris, Robert Long

Very likely: Lian Harper, Mar'i Grayson, Kathy Branden

Potentially one of: Maps Mizoguchi, Mara al Ghul, Maya Ducard, Tiffany Fox, Sin Lance

Potentially one of (but unlikely): Tai Pham, Keli Quintela, Milagro Reyes

Potentially (but unlikely): Otho-Ra & Osul-Ra OR Chris Kent

Unlikely: Colin Wilkes, Johnny Tyler, Helen Jordan, Rani Carter

(Reminder: the # of kids will likely be 6-8)

#additional reminder: Adams isn't allowed to use Damian or Jon #okay final thoughts #blue for meta orange for alien green for gl and red for no powers #top two are set #third row are all extremely strong contenders #i think ONE of the red line picks could be in it as well. especially if he isn't allowed to use Lian #the bottom three lines? i would be shocked #Keli or Tai i could see. but people famously didn't like Keli and using Tai when he's under the creative control of another writer is... #it might not fly. and milagro isn't actually a gl. thats fanon #so that whole line just. is extremely unlikely. #the kent twins are in the superfam book and idk that theyd share creative control tbh #and adding chris kent back into canon after Clark adopted two other kids and the superfam is doing a whole series? #can't see editorial being okay with that #colins powers aren't really team oriented. johnny would be the third speedster on the team. helen doesn't have powers or training #and Rani... well actually idk. Gold Beetle would probably be related to Rani but... nah GB is endgame for Jai #they wouldn't put Rani and GB into Jai's storyline #imo? max 8 kids. there are already five. #so you can mix and match three other kids. #(keeping in mind that you will probably need at least one red) #tbh Sin is a very strong contender if he can't use Lian because he personally likes Sin a lot. #if Mar'i can't be used then Maps or Tiffany cause the bat rep #Kathy is just a strong contender all around. powers? check. right age? check. suit? check. experience? check. blank slate writing wise? yep #plus Adams knows about her which is half the battle #Maya would go with Kathy though. they are a package deal #oof #this is my last time posting about this i swear.... for today #going a little insane over the possibilities because this is kinda everything ive ever wanted/dreamed about #and having this actually happen would be insane #dc #dc comics

[octaviasdread]

literary criticism is just the puckish, miltonic, derridean, wordsworthian, elian, freudian, etc etc

#inspired by one page of this book that uses puckish and miltonic is the same sentence #then wordsworthian and neoplatonic #because what is literary criticism without one word intertextual references to explain entire theories #why describe something a shakespeare reference can cover? #dredge through a theory? nah just name drop the author cus iykyk #co speaks #CO Posts #academia #literary criticism #literature #studyblr #uniblr

[imaginariumgeographica]

Something else i enjoy about Wrinkle is that the main character's five year old brother is the chosen one

#this is a little tongue in cheek the book is from the 60s but #main character is the Only One Who Can Save The World and Must Go On An Important Quest? nah. but her little bro is #a wrinkle in time #alexpost
