It’s really funny to me when I ask for book recs online and give a really clear guidelines for what I’m looking for and you can just tell that some people didn’t read it at all. I made a post on reddit asking for adult fantasy recs and so far I’ve gotten:

a historical fiction 

2 books with a heavy emphasis on romance, despite saying that I don’t like books that have a heavy emphasis on romance

1 book that I mentioned in my post that I already read and did not enjoy. 

Like, I fully understand the urge to constantly recommend your favourite books, but like... this is just ridiculous. 

That being said, I’m looking to transition out YA fantasy, and am looking for some adult fantasies that are easy to follow and not super wordy and convoluted. If y’all know any please let me know.

I’m back

So, a little life update I guess but I’m back in school. That’s kind of old news, but this past semester was just really tough. I was taking 3 classes and also working part time, and my mental health took a bit of a hit, so as you can imagine there wasn’t a lot of time for me to be on tumblr. 

Also, I just got like, really into Breath of the Wild. Like, really really into it. 

Anyways, the semester is over now and I got my work hours reduced so I’ve got a little more time for chilling out here. For now, at least. My hours are going back up, and I’m going to be taking exactly one class over the summer. 

Also, Tears of the Kingdom is coming out soon. 

But for now I’m back, not that anyone really asked, but just in case anyone was wondering, that’s where I’ve been. I’ve got a couple tag games lined up that I promise I’m going to try to get to soon (I promise I wasn’t ignoring you guys).

My characters, as I'm starting on my bullshit again

[starfast]

I wonder if the book/media at large community is ready to have the discussion of just because your story includes and highlights marginalized characters, it doesn't automatically make it good.

Coming from a queer person, I've read many books with queer characters that really fell flat for me, not because of the representation, but due to things like overstuffed plots, pacing issues, lack of cohesion, etc.

The fact that media as a whole is becoming a little more diverse and inclusive is great, but most of the time it's not enough to save a story that doesn't work for you.

What do you mean you don’t know what my WIP is about purely from the bizzare posts I have tagged with the blorbos from my WIPs.

My managers: We care about our employees! We want you guys to be safe:

Also my managers: Hey, we need you to go do this thing. Sorry, we know it triggers your anxiety but we're super short staffed and you're the only one here who can do it for some reason

[starfast]

is this meme too old?

[starfast]

Talking to people about your characters really is a game changer. You'll start saying things about them you didn't even know you knew.

whatever was left, that was ours for a while.
