I don't go here but imagine having a whole ass indie studio make a solid 30 minute pilot of your series for free and you drop the books on the project.

y'all better stop saying eva is weak/naïve (she's naïve in some ways but she's not ignorant imo) because it's completely ridiculous. she's just feminine and she wants love and the media now tries to act like if you're feminine you're weak or if you like traditionally feminine things that you're stupid or bratty💀 eva is literally neither of those things and here's why. (you're always entitled to your opinion though, so if you disagree that's fine!)
-she remembers jacks's betrayal and chooses not to trust him but she still looks for the good in him because she wants to believe that people can change. that's not naïve that's having faith in someone.
-she doesn't know how to fight but she's resourceful, and she defended herself when it was down to it but she's just not particularly masculine and she hasn't had training to know how to fight/had experience with fighting.(WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE FOR HER CHARACTER)
-she's not a tom-boy and sometimes people associate that with being smart/strong but i personally like female characters who aren't tom boy and who are feminine but they're not idiots (like they don't trip over themselves 24/7 and get in the way)
-jacks and chaos save her a lot but it's literally okay to be saved by a guy 💀 this whole "I DONT NEED HELP FROM ANYONE ESPECIALLY NOT MEN!!!" attitude is kind of ridiculous- like bitch you do need help sometimes 💀 so i like that eva doesn't have that.
anyway, that's what i have to say about that. here are some screenshots from the magnificent north discord server where we discussed this

Can someone please recommend me some fantasy books that have 0 romance and sex? Bonus points if the found family trope is involved. I’m a poor soul who just wants to read stories without being attacked by stupid romantic drama and graphic smut :(

I finally opened up my Kushiel's Dart ebook this morning and started to read it for real and was utterly consumed by it just as I always have been. There is just....the way the author writes from Phedre's voice, it's unlike anything else out there. It's very evocative of old Victorian/Regency writing in some ways. But it's modern and has a ...lushness is the only word I can pick to describe it. She paints such beautiful imagery with how Phedre narrates.
Anyway, I read like 26% of it already. She's about to introduce Joscelin and I need to gird my loins for what is to come. I enjoyed the second book, the third book is a bit too much for me in the extreme sadomasochism aspects so I've only ever read it once. I might buy Kushiel's Chosen mainly because I loved the masquerade scene and other parts of it.
I'm so ready for Cassiel's Servant to come out in August. Jacquline Carey actually posted this really interesting...I don't want to say apology but maybe admittance of her own ignorance because when she wrote these books...fuck 20 odd years ago she never wrote any trans or non-binary characters which for the premise being this entire country is very open-minded and sex positive it was a little strange. But honestly, to be fair to her 20 years ago there wasn't as much of a discussion or openness towards trans, agender or non-binary people. Society was still trying to come to terms with gay people not being scary monsters trying to turn their kids gay. 🙄 (And yet somehow 22 years later we're rehashing that bullshit argument) It was pre-DOMA being overturned etc.
But what really impressed me was that she admitted it was her own ignorance and she wishes she could go back in time and correct those mistakes. Hopefully, if she does write more books (Gods please just give me an Anafiel book, I would die happy with just that) I expect she will address it and I'm super eager to see what she does with it.
Because the whole precept of how people in her fantasy medieval France lives is "Love as you wilt" and I think she'd do an interesting job of it if I'm being honest.
I'm somewhat tepid on her other trilogy set in the Kushiel series but Kushiel's Dart continues to be one of those super important, formative books that touched my life in a very poignant way.
And apparently, I can still fall right back in love with it at the drop of a hat. LOL
I might not write anything or continue on with Discovery and just let myself sink into this book instead.

So. Took the day off from reading to wrap up the last of my fics of this year. My TWHHA fic, and my @thgseasonofhope fic has been wrapped up for a bit. Got those done and and cannot WAIT to see everyone read mine. And for all the authors to be discovered Hehe.
Now. I think I might also write up a first block of my CF thoughts while I am letting my reading brain breath for the day. Get some of my thoughts out and hit reading hard tommorw.

Can we recognize the people who love to read but just read really flipping slowly?
Stereotypical bookworms are always like "I started this book yesterday and I only have like one chapter left."
But here I am, I started this book a month ago and I'm two thirds of the way through. And I'm having a great time, okay?!

Hehe, yep^^ My favorite TV show of all time. Strongest female characters, amazing plot, political intrigue, mystery. Aaah and that ending! 💕 I'm still hoping they'll adapt the last books one day. Hope dies last. Always happy to find fans, it's such an underrated show. 💕

Wait you like Hunters Unlucky as well? That's a favorite of mine!
Yeah! I love Hunters Unlucky! I remember like a year ago I saw this fanart by @ikrutt and was really intrigued by the ferryshaft creature design, so I bought the book and ate it up in a few days. I've always loved stories with non-human characters. It's totally up my alley. I actually do need to catch up on the newer novellas, though.

i wonder if aliens would be subject to the corruptions of chaos
sure they’re mortal (we presume), but they are would largely not be the same mortals that the gods are made up of. several sources specifically say the gods are reflections of the Old World races. Would an alien, who might not have the biology or even be able to feel emotions in the first place, be partially or totally immune to the many of the non-offensive spells or curses or whatever? Beyond the reach of the gods?
mention 40k and taste my blade
