in which i recommend books like the netflix algorithm
you wanted it, you got it, babes! caveat: this list is long (seriously, sorry about the length) and i can’t write blurbs for everything, but i highly recommend going and looking at anything that sounds interesting. some books will fall under multiple headings, so i’m listing them twice. i am linking to their purchase pages on bookshop.org, because amazon sucks and bookshop helps support indie booksellers, but if your local indie bookstore offers delivery or curbside pickup, buy it there. and i’m trying to keep this list confined to pretty recent titles, so even though a few older ones might slip in there, it’s definitely centered on releases from the past few years. okay let’s do this.

my personal favorites are shadow and lightning, very happy with how those turned out

More comics of my losers, featuring Tripp the Bandit King, his very tired wife, their two aro/ace mercenary daughters, anxious son-in-law who didn’t sign up for this shit, and adopted disabled daughter Skittles meeting my other wheelchair-user for the first time ^^
… which is basically just fanart of my favourite Autopilot accent, and best ever purchase on FR, I mean, just look at it

Babysitting for that one kinda weird but fairly decent guy in a hat who keeps ‘finding’ all those lost Beastclan relics in dragon settlements and returning them to your tribes where they belong

A very unusual genetic color variation in white-tailed deer — rarer even than albinism — produces all-black offspring in that species which are known as “melanistic” or “melanic” deer.

The next time Astrid sees the boy - Hiccup - it’s been three weeks, and she almost fears that he and Toothless have left Berk, that when she goes down to the cove, their cave will be empty and all she’ll have left of them is black scales and the spot where her singed hair was cut short.
She goes to escape from Snotlout, from his incessant, terrible flirting and the ever-nearing plans for the wedding, which is only a month away now, and which she has no escape from as far as she can tell. It’s not like the exiled heir of Berk will suddenly appear and take his place as Stoick’s son and she’ll be married off to him instead. Though, she can’t imagine he’d be any better than Snotlout.
Hiccup appears from behind a rock as she looks over the cove, his hood down for once and the sun highlighting his auburn hair, his Night Fury standing nearby and stepping lightly, as if it’s stalking something. She shrinks back against the rock she’s hiding behind, thinking that there’s some threat that she can’t see that they’re defending against.
The Fury’s head turns towards the rock Hiccup is hiding behind, and then it pounces, leaping over the rock, and Astrid breaks out into a helpless smile as she watches them roll together, the Night Fury batting its paws at Hiccup and the boy lightly hitting it in response, laughing and grinning. She recognizes it for what it is - a play fight - and is… endeared by the way Hiccup grins at his dragon, groaning when the Fury drops its chin on his chest, arms falling out to his sides.
