I love love love that Yumi and Painter had a shit first kiss. Brandon doesn't understand what a gift he gave me with that. kisses can be sweet and meaningful and lovely but also bad. 10/10 would go feral over their relationship again

On a related note, I love how people sometimes think Kimmuriel is just really serious and professional all the time and assume he’s above pettiness when:
------
Calico Grimm ranted and yelled, even shoved the drow, who fell over limply to the deck -- which only made the captain grow more incensed, to the point where he drew out his saber.
“Do not!” Wulfgar yelled, at the same time another crewman called out for everyone to take cover.
Indeed, across the way, the wizard went into the last moments of his spellcasting, creating another fiery bomb. He moved to throw it across the water to ignite Joen’s Heirloom, but then he suddenly froze in place and simply held the pose.
He was still holding his fireball when it exploded, engulfing his own ship in biting flames.
Wulfgar laughed.
Kimmuriel stood back up and straightened his clothing.
“Well now,” Calico Grimm said, as much of an apology as the man would ever give.
“You should have some faith,” Kimmuriel told him, to which the captain snorted. “And you should repent your actions.”
“What’re ye meanin’ by that?” asked Bonnie Charlee.
Kimmuriel stared hard at Calico Grimm.
“Well?” the first mate demanded.
“Repent,” Kimmuriel ordered.
Calico Grimm snorted, but then his face contorted weirdly, a look of utter surprise, a combination of shock and terror. The look of a man who was not alone in his own mind and body.
Calico Grimm spun about and sprinted away, past his surprised companion, running face-first into Joen’s Heirloom’s mainmast. He dropped to the deck hard, blood flying from his nose, a pair of teeth falling out onto the boards.
- “Boundless”

I always liked this exchange. It’s very collegiate “POC” postcolonial (Haines, who’s staying with them, is an Englishman who’s fascinated with Irish culture & language, even trying to make a book including collection of Dedalus sayings: Mulligan & Dedalus are joking here about feeling “studied” by the “panthersahib”) jokes

If only this sticker on my water bottle had that double entendre, that currently applied. Then I might actually embrace the suck.

Not a lot of what I do in my life satisfies me (I'm the type of person who's never proud of their achievements) but whenever I'm able to move forward in a writing project I always am like "hey, maybe I'm not the lifeless shell of a human being after all! I'm actually proud and happy bc of something that I made with my own hands and brain. 😃😃". And idk, it's such a good feeling. I don't mean to say I'm motivated all the time (I love writing but I also hate it so much), but I'm really happy that I'm able to look at writing not as another burden but as an actual safe place (it wasn't always like this), not another thing I force myself to be exceptional at just to prove a point.

That thing people do with female characters where they like, in their attempts to compensate for the unfairly negative way that female characters are often treated by fandoms they end up overshooting and just making them Too Good and flawless and endlessly caring and loving and patient and incapable of doing or being wrong and just removing everything that's distinctive about the character, making her completely flat & forgettable & uninteresting, because they don't want to say anything about her or depict her doing anything that might possibly be interpreted negatively.
