Propaganda
Irene Papas (Tribute to a Bad Man, Electra, Zorba the Greek)—"From the opening shot of Michael Cacoyannis's Electra, as the proud, implacable face emerges from encroaching shadows, it becomes impossible to imagine anyone else as Euripides's heroine. Erect, immutably dignified, dark eyes burning fiercely beneath heavy black brows, Irene Papas visibly embodies the sublimity of classical Greece, tragic yet serene." -Philip Kemp (film critic) Also she's a a badass.
Vivien Leigh (Gone with the Wind, A Streetcar Named Desire)—Leigh is exceptionally beautiful. To quote Garson Kanin, Leigh was "a stunner whose ravishing beauty often tended to obscure her staggering achievements as an actress. Great beauties are infrequently great actresses—simply because they don't need to be. Vivien was different; ambitious, persevering, serious, often inspired." She was an actor's actor, one of those big old-school theatre dames, full of drama and temper.
This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Irene Papas:

An amazing actress and singer, some may say a literal Greek goddess. Fought against military dictatorship in her home country and had an affair with Marlon Brando.
She literally played Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world in Greek mythology, what more could you want

Vivien Leigh propaganda:


"I submit this gifset--help she is so beautiful and tragic"
"Extremely versatile, absolutely beautiful features and a wonderful resting bitch face if needed."
"She has such a range of character types that she could fit any favorite type of woman. And have you seen her in the Red Dress? with her cocked eyebrow???"

[Linked GwtW gifset]
"She played one of the most famously unlikable characters in cinema history and knocked it out of the park."

"Vivien Leigh vs every established and wannabe actress on Earth- grand slam winner for Scarlett O'Hara and won the oscar. Ultimate power couple with hottie finalist Laurence Olivier. I am just on my knees for that arched eyebrow and smouldering look."

"She’s just mmm the PASSION behind her performances is palpable, she’s so beautiful and elegant and amazing and yeah"
"look at her. im a gay man and im in love with her"

FAVE CREATORS ART CHALLENGE: @ughmerlin edition
(first of all thank you ana for this wonderful idea!!!)
this is gonna be a series of course because i do not have just one favorite. so we're starting with my belovedest jagoda, who is as nice and funny as she is talented <3
not easy to pick faves honestly because your gifs are all so damn beautiful. you have such a particular coloring style, it's that damn softness that i'm never able to reproduce 😂 you're truly a witch! you have such a good eye for fonts as well, they never take away from the gif itself, they add something every time.
like this gifset you posted 3 days ago, for merthur week. this blue is incredible and it adds to the melancholy of the whole set. i'm in love with that glass effect omg?? it's SO COOL. and what i just said about the fonts basically, perfect example.
so you did a dean series that are all incredibly colored but if i had to pick a fave it would be this one. idk how you do it, my best guess is sorcery again lmao. i never manage to make my colorings so smooth. the 5th gif his hair is spiky HOW DID YOU DO THIS???? mind blown.
ok i lied i think this set might be my favorite of yours this year. the colors pop, the blending is exquisite, the b&w with the little symbols adds so much, the font is awesome. basically yeah i'm in love with this set. gorgeous work!!!!
i'm an absolute sucker for a good ripped paper effect and god knows you wield it like a pro. this set is sooooo pretty. the font you used, again, matches so well. but that icy teal??? oh my godddd. and that knife with the paper effect is genius. the blending is gorgeous as well. typical jagoda set, everything is top notch.
wanted to mention this one as well because i looooove your humorous sets. fantastic scene choice haha.
and to end this year's creations we have obviously this stunner you posted in january. i'm honestly stunned by it. there's SO MANY details. the quotes, the thread, the smaller pictures, the blending??? the coloring?? this set has it all. like girl leave some talent for the rest of us please. love how you took concepts we've already seen and made something completely new by combining them. this one is definitely a top contender for fave of this year for me. i am on the floor!!!!!
we have reached the end of my little review of this year. i'm not gonna do the rest of your career or this post will be longer than your favorite fanfic 😂 but know that i am a huuuuuuuge fan of yours. you are without a doubt to me one of the most talented people on this website. continue the work you do because it's just sublime. cannot wait to see what you'll make in 2025 😍 love youuuuu

I am bothering you with questions as you requested.
What's your favorite Alexander J Newl quote?
Smash or pass, the grave digger form Magnus who killed someone?
What is red valley and why should I listen(?) to it?
Raah! Thank you for bothering me :D
- Okay! My favourite Alex quote i dont have one that is my favourite but here have some of my personal favourites:
“hips on shoulders” from rqg 109? 
“I do art because I can't not” … “I think that art is a very useful space for exploring potential in a way that doesn't threaten people” from rqgg20 ask Alex anything
And finally “you absolute stunner” I've started using this one my self big fan of it
- the grave digger… Hezekiah Wakely… he's from 1830 I am a sucker for that time period… smash… I mean what who said that
- Red valley!!! Red valley is a podcast that's focus on the two main guys Gordon and Warran as they are slapped across the fact by experimental science and the morals behind it! Why you 🫵 should listen to it. Its cozy but in a OH GOD?!! (genuinely read the content warnings) and it's funny also it's set in Scotland and Scotland is swag and cool!

shannon lynch and johnny kavanagh quotes in binding 13
“You remember who I am, right? Shannon like the river."
"Yeah, I remember you." Unsure of what else to say or do, I stupidly raised and hand and waved. "Hi, Johnny.”
The smile he was sporting grew into a full, perfectly straight, pearly-white smile. "Hi, Shannon."
"Well, I'm good. And you're good. So, it's all…good."
"That's good," he replied, lips twitching.
"Yeah, it's all good," I answered, cringing at my awkwardness.
Johnny smirked down at me. "Good.”
“We were talking," Johnny bit out. He cast a scathing glare at the photographer and then walked right over to me.
"Smile," he instructed quietly as he pulled me into his side and clamped his huge, muddy hand on my hip.
Stunned, I stared up at him. "Huh?"
"Smile," Johnny repeated calmly, tucking me under his arm. Frazzled, I turned back to face the photographer and did exactly what Johnny told me to do. I beamed.”
“I liked him. I really liked him.”
“What possessed me to go over to Shannon, I'll never know, but everyone was screaming around me, the crowd was in my face, I needed a reprieve, and I saw her standing there, all big-eyes and lonesome, and something just shifted inside of me. In the moment it made sense to just go over and talk to her. Because I didn’t want her to be on her own. Because I could hardly concentrate during the game, knowing she was watching me.”
“You got tongue-tied because you like him," she pressed. Not bothering to deny it, I just sighed down the line.
"Oh my god," she gasped, tone excited. "Are you finally admitting you like him?"
I nodded and then realized she couldn’t see me.
"I don’t think there's any point in denying it," I whispered, feeling my face burn at the thought. "I like him, Claire – I think I really like him.”
“I wanted Shannon Lynch. And worse than wanting her, I really fucking liked her. She had this sweet something about her, and I liked how it felt when I was around her. I liked the way she looked, the way she spoke, the way she carried herself.”
“Johnny nodded, absorbing everything I was telling him with perfect politeness, only to surprise the hell out of me when he said, "I think you'd like rugby."
My brows rose up at the odd statement. "I think what you meant to say is I might die playing rugby," I corrected, gesturing to my body. "If you haven't noticed, I'm kind of on the small side."
A huge smile spread across his face, dimples emerging.”
“Snatching the paper out of my mother's hands, I stared down at the girl who'd been driving me crazy for the best part of two months. Jesus, she looked gorgeous; all wide-eyed and smiling as I held her to my side. Her brown hair was loose and blowing in the breeze.”
“She's a stunner of a girl, Johnny," Mam mused, distracting me. "You look absolutely adorable together.”
“Give me a name," Johnny growled, dropping his hands to his hips. "And I'll take care of it."
"What– no! I'm grand," I quickly replied. "I have allergies."
"Me, too. To assholes and bullshit," Johnny snarled. "Now, tell me who made you cry and I'll fix it.”
“But then I was hit with the stinging pang of bitter regret in my chest when she brushed past me in the hallway without a second glance, her coconut scented shampoo hitting my senses like a wrecking ball, and I knew that wasn’t going to work for me. There was nothing forgettable about the girl, and I found myself gravitating towards her, wanting to find her looking at me, and then growing frustrated when she didn’t. Knowing that I would listen to whatever she had to say, whenever she wanted to say it, regardless of time or inconvenience, was a frightening concept.”
“With wide eyes, I watched as Johnny unzipped the black coat he was wearing and draped it over my shoulders.
"Come on," he said in a coaxing tone as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders, tucked me into his side, and led me out of school. "I'll take care of you.”
“Wait!"
"Huh?"
"Come with me."
"Come where with you?"
"Anywhere? We could go for drive? Or get something to eat?"
I saw something flash across her eyes then, something that looked an awful lot like relief.
"You want me to? Come with you?"
"Yeah, Shannon. I want you to come with me.”
“The smell is the best part," I told him. "And you get endorphins from these, too."
His lips twitched. "I train six hours a day, Shannon. I don’t need to supplement endorphins with a chocolate bar."
Ripping off the wrapping, I held it in front of his nose for a few moments.
"Sniff it," I encouraged, feeling oddly at ease with him. "Go on."
"Get out of it," Johnny laughed, gently batting my hand away.
"Your loss," I said with a shrug, then bit off a square of chocolate, moaning when the delicious chocolatey goodness hit my tongue.”
“Relax," Johnny whispered in my ear, distracting me from my memories. "You're safe with me."
His words threw me and I turned my face to look at him. God, he was just so beautiful, it was painful. Everything about Johnny Kavanagh was pure perfection.”

I'm going to write here because it's my anonymous safe space.
I am fucking tired. I forgot how trying these first few weeks with a new baby can be. He is wonderful and I love him, but he is on a nocturnal schedule and I am losing my mind. I got 90 minutes of sleep last night. My husband goes back to work today after his 2 weeks of paternity leave. I felt those cold fingers of PPD creeping in last night as I tried and failed for the 6th time to get him down to sleep in his bassinet. I'm medicated after my first pregnancy when PPD hit me hard, so I haven't felt it much, but last night it was fierce. There is just something about being alone and frustrated at 4:00 am that causes the tears to flow.
Motherhood is hard.
Here's a picture of those sweet cheeks to keep me on check. Because he really is wondeful.... ❤

Tina Goldstein Month 2022: Day 10
Favorite Tina moment of all time
Gif source
Reuniting with Newt in FB3. I can't tell you how glad I was to see these two together again. I love them- their banter, their friendship, and their budding romance. She looks stunning and both actors absolutely nailed this scene. It wasn't much, but that little bit we got was gold.

Oh also 14 on a bruise because you know me and my hurt/comfort :)
Touch, pt. 1
After the wedding, a simple touch from Newt leads to just a little bit more.
Post-Secrets of Dumbledore cuteness.
/OS/
Read on AO3
-------------------------------------------------------------
“What– Tina?”
“Hmm?” Tina hummed as she turned to look at Newt, the low light of the case making his ruddy hair shine in that special way that reminded her of sunsets on rooftops and Paris sunrises. He was watching her, not with the smile that she expected, but with a look of concern. The smile she had been wearing since their long-awaited reunion in front of Kowalksi’s Quality Baked Goods hours earlier slowly melted from her face.
“What happened, Tina?” His eyes had been drawn to her upper back, the bruise there that had been covered by the higher neckline of her dress and the waves of her hair must look far worse than she thought. She had just pulled her hair out of her eyes with a ribbon while working with the creatures. She hadn’t been thinking.
“Oh. Oh, nothing. It’s just–” She paused, her eyes connecting with his. Deep brown to blue-green. “Work.” She shrugged. “I got hit by a stunner the other day. It’s fine.”
He said nothing as he stepped closer, closing the distance between them. The rapidly growing baby niffler in her lap continued playing with her locket unchecked. She had discarded her coat as soon as she had entered the warmer climate of the case, but as his breath brushed the skin of her arm, goosebumps flared across her skin and she shivered.
He moved slowly, tentatively, and raised his hand to touch her before his mind caught up with his body and he realized how intimate a gesture it was. She felt, more than saw, his eyes swing to her face as if to ask permission. She nodded her head ever so slightly.
Gently, his fingertips brushed her skin. She felt the tenderness and care in his touch and her eyes closed. The feeling of being touched, almost caressed, felt so foreign after months away from all of the people she loved. It was unfamiliar but so wanted, and she shivered as the sensation of touch fizzled down her spine, igniting every nerve ending. Her awareness was heightened, and she suddenly felt the unevenness of the tabletop where she had hopped up to sit, the humidity in the air, the shift of her dress as it stretched across her skin. She bit her lip and gripped the edge of the table with the hand that was not holding onto the niffler in her lap.
“Does it hurt?” he asked, unaware of the effect he was having on her. Or maybe he knew. He was observant sometimes– especially with her, it seemed. His thumb swiped across the darkened skin, now stained ugly shades of yellow and brown.
She shook her head. “No. Not anymore.” She turned her head to look at him, his face only inches from her own, and she looked up into his eyes. They were bright and concerned, but his expression also seemed a little…daring? Bold? She swallowed. “I honestly forgot it was there. It’s–” His fingers slid down her spine softly, sliding easily over the satin of her ice blue dress. “It’s almost two weeks old, so…”
“Hmm,” he hummed in acknowledgment. His eyes, which had held her gaze for far longer than he usually did, finally glanced down to momentarily settle on her lips. Could this be it? She had wondered if he would kiss her tonight. She was certainly open to the idea and she was pretty positive now that he wanted to as much as she wanted him to. She had wondered several times that night if that moment would finally be it, but nothing had seemed right. Not at the wedding. Not in front of all of those people.
His fingertips traveled down further, further, until he splayed his hand flat against her waist. It was warm and solid and she found that even with this one little touch, even without kissing him, she was already wanting more. She would always want more of him. She knew that already.
She turned toward him slightly, making herself open to him, so that they were face to face now. His breathing hitched a little. He was nervous. The corners of her mouth twitched into an encouraging smile as he came closer, inches from her now. She reached out to find his other hand and he readily gripped her lightly as she made contact. Her fingers twisted just so, sliding between his so that their palms met.
He leaned close to her, months of anticipation, want, and worry finally coming together in finale. She felt his breath wash over her features as her eyes fluttered closed. He hesitated for just a moment before he was there, his nose brushing against hers and his lips finally meeting her own.
It was soft and sweet and perfect. Tina smiled as he leaned in for a second quick kiss and she felt his mouth quirk into a grin in response. How had they never done this before now? How had they ever not known? How had there ever been a hint of misunderstanding or miscommunication when they had this? This one moment with unpracticed kisses and soft, breathy laughter felt like they were finally in sync. They finally knew that their feelings were reciprocated and it was beautiful.
He captured her lips in a longer kiss, the hand against her waist slowly, slowly inched up her spine. She tightened her grip on his hand and silently cursed the sleeping niffler that was still sitting in her lap, preventing her from pulling him closer. She could have cried as he skirted the skin at the neckline of her dress, just over her healing injury, showing care even amid their kisses. His fingers tugged at the ribbon holding her hair off her neck, letting it fall free. He slid his fingers into the silky waves, and she had a feeling that he had been wanting to do that for quite some time.
Then they heard them, voices coming closer, and Tina felt Newt stiffen and then his shoulders fall a little in disappointment. She leaned in and captured one more quick kiss before he pulled away. Her eyes opened and he was so close, so very close. He was everything and everywhere right now and she loved it. She squeezed his hand and leaned forward just slightly to whisper into his ear.
“Later.”
She pulled away and watched a grin spread across his face. He leaned forward to press a kiss lightly against her hairline as he heard his brother start calling for him.
“Hey, Newt! Newt!”
“Theseus…” Newt called back, still grinning at Tina who couldn’t help but smile widely back at him.
“We’ve got to– oh.” He came through the doorway to the bowtruckle habitat, Lally at his side, his eyes soft and glazed after an evening of Firewhiskey and laughter with friends. “Oh, I, uh…”
Lally took over, swatting Theseus lightly in the chest with a familiarity that struck Tina as interesting and highly amusing. “We are going to head upstairs. Pop one more bottle of champagne before the evening is over.” She smiled apologetically at them as she tilted her head toward the little shed, “Care to join us?”
“Yes, I think so.” Tina replied, hopping off of the table with ease and cradling the sleeping baby in her hand. “Let me just get this little guy put away for the night.”

My #1 post of 2022
Okay, but really...Newt and Lally fangirling over each other is the best ever. I want them to be best friends. They could just sit and nerd out with each other for hours.
Tina can come too. Obviously. For reasons. 😍

Hi Sammy I just found an old pic of Taehyung before his debut. And this was how he looked.WHEN HE WAS 17.
I am completely astounded and think that all the words in the Oxford have buried themselves because none can do justice to his beauty.
Atlast I want to quote the words of the heavenly fan fic called "maybe I do"created by an author of utmost talent -miss Sammy.
God had created the universe, heaven and hell in 6 days and left the 7th just to create him.
The pic:

P.S:I know I overreacted 🥺 sorry for that.
You're not being dramatic at all babes KIM TAEHYUNG DESERVES TO BE PRAISED LIKE THIS!! IDK WHO TF WAS REJECTING HIM IN HIGH SCHOOL CAUSE HE'S SO ADORABLE LOOK AT HIM Taehyung's always been a stunner excuse me while I sob 😭
#truly an ethereal man#god specifically took time with him#he was crafted by angels#complexmolecule#inbox#sammy files

Propaganda
Vivien Leigh (Gone with the Wind, A Streetcar Named Desire)—Leigh is exceptionally beautiful. To quote Garson Kanin, Leigh was "a stunner whose ravishing beauty often tended to obscure her staggering achievements as an actress. Great beauties are infrequently great actresses—simply because they don't need to be. Vivien was different; ambitious, persevering, serious, often inspired." She was an actor's actor, one of those big old-school theatre dames, full of drama and temper.
Wendy Hiller (Pygmalion, I Know Where I'm Going)—Wendy Hiller didn't make that many movies but when she starred in one she was So.Good. she usually walked away with the film. One of the best actresses in the classic talkies era period (1930s-1950s) she was nominated for three Academy Awards and won one (for Separate Tables). In my opinion she was the best Eliza Doolittle of all time when she played the part in Pygmalion and she was one of George Bernard Shaw's favorite actresses (see also Major Barbara).

In 2020, I read 40 books (with maybe a few more to be added after I post this) after discovering my love of reading all over again. I am not a very hard reader to please, so it will be rare for me to rate a book with a low score, so I doubt you’ll ever see any criticism from me. So, here we go!
A few things before I start: There are three series in this list (but technically only two, because I’ve only read Serpent & Dove so far) but I’ve limited myself to no repeat authors. That must have been the hardest part for me. Since Jessi went the extra mile and ranked them in order, I’ve decided to make myself suffer the same. And while most of these were not published in 2020, they were read in 2020.
I am (sometimes) a picky reader, but any book that is on this list, I have loved. I chose not to rate them because honestly, they would have all been high. I give ratings easily, and try not to pick things apart even for books I truly did not like.
Please keep in mind that I do my best to add trigger warnings, but you should always check for certain triggers before reading. Triggers vary for everyone.
10. Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen
Warnings: There’s a male character that’s a creep and you’ll spot him as soon as you crack this one open. This tale deals with Peyton being sentenced to prison, and their mother practically glossing over what he’s done by victim blaming.
I have read Dessen’s books since I was 13 and I truly still enjoy her stories as much as I did then. While this was a re-read for me, it’s a tie for my favorite book of hers. It’s tied with Along For the Ride.
Sydney is left in the aftermath after her older brother, Peyton, is sentenced to prison after a drunk driving accident that paralyzes a boy. Formerly in his shadow, Sydney struggles to discover what it is she wants, and how she wants to be seen as her own mother seems to gloss right over her. It’s a YA read that always feels like more than the romance that originally interested me.
9. Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
Warnings: Misogyny. The church and religion plays an extremely heavy part of this plot, which was hard for me to get into. It’s clear that some characters do not value women in their actions and words toward Lou. It made me uncomfortable in spots because I just wanted to get past it, but I plan to read this one again since I know that it won’t bother me this time! Still, there is: violence in parts, religious zealots (in case that’s something that makes you uncomfortable like it did me), derogatory slurs toward women, and again, misogyny.
I finished this one two days ago, and I sincerely cannot wait to dig into the sequel. Lou is a witty, snappy character that was such a breath of fresh air from the normal. You usually see the male lead that’s a bit crude, a bit quick to pull the trigger, and the one that’s harder to crack. Is that what happened here? Absolutely fucking not. Shelby Mahurin took something I loved, enemies to lovers, and kicked its ass. Forced marriage? UM YES. A witch and a witch-hunter? Mortal enemies? Characters that can never possibly love each other? DONE DONE DONE.
It’s hilarious in parts. Serious when it needs to be. A bit spicy too, while not a lot, which I certainly appreciate. Reid’s character development is a wonder to watch, at least for me, and by the end of the book, I am so in love with him that I don’t know what to do with myself. I have so many annotations for this novel.
8. The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller
Warnings: There’s a fair bout of murder. Women are expected not to take lovers before marriage while men are not held to the same standard. Gross. Allessandra is continually underestimated so let me say: let the women do the work.
It’s called the Slytherin romance we’ve been waiting for, and I agree. While this is a shorter read, and a standalone, I was pleased with it. Both characters are incredibly ambitious, but it’s Allessandra that steals the show. The plan? To enter the palace, woo the king, and then kill him in order to take his kingdom. She’s wicked in all the ways I love.
I loved this book, and each page, but this was the line that will make me return to it: “I’m not a trollop,” I announce to the empty room. “I’m a sexually empowered woman, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black
Warnings: Aside from murder, there’s nothing that stands out to me as a trigger.
A series! The first! There’s something interesting about this series for me, and it’s that I didn’t fall in love altogether, all at once. It was gradual, like wading into water until it went right over my head. By the final fourth of The Cruel Prince, I was fully invested in this world and I absolutely needed to know how Jude and Cardan would become, well, Jude and Cardan.
As a YA series, I was not expecting the sheer amount of mystery, political intrigue, and plot twists that came with this series. However, I never knew what was going to happen, and if I did guess what was coming, Black had at least two more twists to send me for a loop. The Queen of Nothing was likely my favorite book of the series, with The Wicked King as a close second.
6. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Warnings: Discussion of attempted non-con assault, forced disclosure of sexuality
I laughed until my eyes watered and I nearly cried in this book. Delightfully funny, and snappy, RW&B delivers on everything I didn’t know that I needed. I had never read a book where LGBTQ was represented in such a positive light. As someone raised in a more conservative household, I’ve known my own sexual orientation for a long time, but this book made me feel like I could relax in my skin because this story was stunning.
Alex and Henry left me with so much hope that it’s impossible to ever put the lid back on. I’m so happy I read this.
(oh, god, we’re in the final five.)
5. The Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber
Warnings: Physical and emotional child abuse.
I could dedicate multiple posts to this series. Maybe I still will. While this is at number five, it’s my favorite series I’ve ever read. If I could only have one series to read for the rest of my life, I would choose this one. Hands down. Full stop. These characters live in my head constantly and I would give an obscene amount of things to read it all over again for the first time. I actually read this with two of my closest friends in our many book club, and we all loved it.
Doused in magic, this world is unveiled to us with excellent descriptions. Truly, Garber owned my heart within a few chapters. Scarlett is the elder sister, Tella the younger, and if you don’t love Tella by the end of Caraval, I promise you will. I know because I was skeptical, but here I am. I’ve said it to my friends, but Scarlett is the one who holds my hair while I have a hangover. Tella is the one that helps me start the bar fight.
With non-stop turns, and magic, everything comes to life on these pages. And the romance, the romance. Please, please give me my great love in this style. It’s not too much to ask for, is it?
4. Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer
Warnings: loss of sibling, loss of parent, alcoholism, mention of infidelity, mentions of previous physical and emotional child abuse.
Mae sent this recommendation to me, and I devoured all of Kemmer’s books post-haste. Declan and Juliet fall in love without knowing who the other is, while also not liking the real version of their penpal. Juliet has lost her mother, and she’s treading water, but not well. Declan has suffered in the years that follow a family tragedy, and he’s not adapting to life with his new step-father.
But he opens with CemetaryGirl (Juliet) and it’s raw in the best of ways, and the openness between them that eventually moves from their bubble to reality is one of the most pleasing things to read. I’ve read it twice this year. I will read it again next year too.
I also read this twice this year and will for sure be reading it again in 2021.
3. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Warnings: Child abuse.
This was another novel that I fell in love with as I went, and that’s definitely because of the non-linear narrative. It was a little confusing, but I’m going to read it again someday since I know everything now! I read this to follow-up to Caraval with my book club pals, and it’s just what I needed to leave Caraval behind. Marco and Celia are incredible and I absolutely believe that the ending of this novel is one of the best endings I’ve ever read.
My book club has not finished this book entirely this so I’m not sharing any spoilers, but I would like to share one of my favorite quotes. “What did you wish for?” “I wished for her.”
2. Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton
Warnings: Cuba is in the middle of a revolution, and it’s tense in parts. There are some bittersweet elements and I think the parts of the ending are like the punch in the gut you need in order to wake you up and remember to live.
This was my first read once I really dug back into this hobby in August. It was picked by Reese Witherspoon for her book club, and she always picks good books. This is a dual timeline romance, and mystery. It’s an absolute stunner of a book. It’s a dear favorite to me now. I’ve never been to Cubs, or heard stories, but Cleeton manages to make you feel like you’re right there feeling saltwater spray across your face.
The romance made me feel breathless, but truly it’s the strong familial ties that make this such a beautiful gem. It leaves you with hope even in the dark and with love in the absence of it. I could scream about this book for the rest of my life, which I absolutely intend to do.
Favorite line? “You’re going to be difficult to walk away from, aren’t you?” “I hope so.”
1 In A Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Warnings? There are none that strike me. This is a lighthearted read that pulls at the heartstrings, but it’s by no means short on the laughs. And, I’m sorry for the long wall of text below.
In A Holidaze is the story of a woman stuck in her ways of never going after what she truly wants until a stray wish lands her in a time loop over the holidays. It's only after repeating the same day a few times that she quite literally says "fuck this," and starts living for HER. I really expected this to just be a Hallmark kind of read, but it was SO MUCH MORE. You should read it, even if it's after the holidays.
It's witty, and heart-wrenching, and it's just everything I didn't know I needed. Mae is snarky, and brave when she figures out that there is nothing stopping her, and the romance is - GODDAMN. Andrew. I need an Andrew and a fan.
It's not quite a love triangle, which was what I expected and I was so pleasantly surprised. I have grinned like a goddamn fool all day. I have giggled all day in front of customers, and my co-workers. I have nearly CRIED in my bedroom when my heart fell out of my ass and landed somewhere near my ankles, because hello, it's gonna get you.
This is going on my yearly re-read list for the holidays.
In the two days since I’ve finished, I’ve convinced my two friends in book club to read it, convinced Jessi to order it from Book of the Month Club, convinced another friend to read it, and bought it for Mae on Christmas day because her library had a six month hold and that was simply unacceptable.

Me, Myself & I
A 17 year old stunner born on July 9, 2003, originally from Pioduran, Albay, now currently living in the "City above of Mountain", Antipolo City.
I am "Aivan Luke SJ. Paloyo", a just simple boy with a girl's heart inside my soul. I am the oldest among the 2 siblings in my family. I really appreciate things when it comes to music especally to my genre, Pop music. I do also love eating savory foods mainly broiled meats and mashed potatos. I do also love watching dramas and online livestream series like BL series, korean drama, zombie movies, etc.
Another thing is when boredom hits me, I always fantasize or imagining as a Pop singer / Performer, quit funny yet it's real. I'm imagining that I'm on her music music videos, singin' and dancing.
Actually, I'm shy in person yet friendly when someone interacts with me. In fact, I have a lot of friends hiding somewhere in nowhere, just kidding. You can count on me as fast as thunder but no money involved, I am responsible in terms of engaging money.
I can be your friend in real life, you can rely me no matter what happen. My zodiac sign is Cancer, but sometimes I'm that its liyeral meaning.
For my closing remarks, I will share you my favorite quote, "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Nelson Mandela, that inspire me everytime I feel someting bad.
That's all. Hope I can see you soon and bond together. Thank you and Keep Safe!

Christos Gage should never have been allowed to write Spider-Man



The thing I love about Otto, he is the guy who...Peter Parker is supposed to be the everyman, and in a lot of ways he is, but he is always dating the most beautiful women in the world...supermodels, Gwen Stacy...And Otto was the guy, I am not a big fan of the late-90s as an era of Spider-Man. There was a character called Stunner who came along and was this big Amazonian woman with super-strength, who was Otto's partner and love-interest and the big reveal was that she was a virtual reality simulation and the real person was an overweight woman in a virtual reality machine. But when Otto finds out he says, I didn't love you for what you looked like, I loved you for your mind
P.S.And before you bring up the PS4 game, there is no evidence I know of that confirms that the story was mostly him. There is no evidence to suggest he came up with the story for that game from scratch and we know for a fact other writers were involved in making the story for that game. Compare how he writes PS4 Spidey in Spider-Geddon to how he is written in the game and you will notice the difference.
P.P.S. For the record the quote/link was something someone else brought to my attention.

Review: The Kiss Quotient (Helen Hoang)
“Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old. It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position...Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he's making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic...”
Rating: 4/5
I finished this book in less than 24 hours, which probably already says a lot about Hoang’s way of writing and her ability to capture the reader into this story. The story was interesting from the beginning on and made me curious to see where the author would be going with the aspect of Stella’s Asperger’s. I only went to school with a boy who had Asperger’s a few years ago, so I am no expert when it comes to autism, however, from many other reviews and from the author’s note at the end I could tell that she portrayed autism in a real and respectful way.
I loved the relationship between Michael and Stella and felt like the many steamy parts were definitely there on purpose - in the end they learned to love and trust each other in the sheets. However, about 3/4 into the book, I felt like things got a little repetitive and slow. Also, while I loved Michael’s caring and loving, there were times when it felt like he was talking down on Stella, even though she is a strong, independent women of 30 years, treating her maybe not with pity, but something quite like it. The way the resolved their fights, which only lasted about two minutes maybe, got a bit annoying after a while. The end it did get better again, and I will definitely look into the second book of The Kiss Quotient series!
Favourite Quote: “Love, he found, was a jail. It trapped, and it clipped wings. It dragged you down, forced you to places you didn’t want to go”

26 + westallen ❤
So, I just reblog a list of prompts for my own inspirational needs and was not expecting anyone to actually take me up on it lol but here’s a little tidbit anyways. To the anon who wanted it (although, I have my guesses on who you might be ;) ), here you go! <3
Prompt #26: Jealous Kiss
The music pulses and vibrated against their booth and while it was the last place he wanted to be, Barry tried to be in the present and appreciate the presence of his wife under his arm.
“I can’t believe we let ourselves get talked into coming to another club,” he said to her. “What happened to date night and it just being the two of us?”
She turned to him with a chuckle. “Well, at least you didn’t pick this one.”
“Hey! The last place wasn’t that bad!”
“Oh yeah? Well, your wife rated it a 3.5 of out 5 as a junior writer back in the day.”
Barry amended to that with a smirk as he turned back to the dancefloor. “Either way, it’s not stopping Cisco from pulling out those moves.”
“No, it did not,” she agreed. “Too bad he didn’t get to bust them out at our wedding.”
Barry looked back at Iris only to catch the wistful look on her face.
“Hey,” he said, brushing his thumb against her neck. “Let’s get married again. The right way.”
“As long as I’m getting married to you, any way is the right way.”
Barry positively melted at that, his eyes softening as he looked into her smiling eyes.
“Ditto. But be that as it may, I promised you a proper wedding and I’m going to give it to you. No gunfire, no fricking Nazis and definitely no wedding hijackers.”
Iris laughed, lacing her fingers with his. “Sounds pretty damn great already.”
She leaned up to kiss him when a body plopped down beside her, stopping her halfway to his lips. The pair looked over and saw Ralph leaning against Iris with a sloppy smile. He was clearly trashed.
“Hey there, pretty lady. What’s your name?”
“Um, Ralph, I think it’s time to cut you off,” Iris said, leaning over to take her drink away from Ralph as he reached for it.
“Hey! You’re a drink thief.” He pouted at her before slowly smiling again. “Then again, a girl as pretty as you can steal all the drinks from me. After all, you stole my breath and I can see you thieving for my heart.”
Barry narrowed his eyes, affronted as he looked at Ralph. “Are you seriously hitting on my wife right now, man? In front of me?”
Ralph looked at Barry as though only just now noticing his presence. “Hey, where the hell did you come from?” he asked, before Barry’s words registered. “You wife? Please, as if a stunner like her would ever go for a string bean like you.”
“You’re a stringier bean than I am!”
“Sure, whatever you say.” Ralph waved him off as he stroked a lock of Iris’s hair. “Wow, everything about you is so pretty.”
Iris was battling between amusement and concern. Ralph must have been truly and utterly pissed drunk if he could recognize him. Then again, she was already plotting to use this moment against him for many, many years to come.
“Ok, buddy, I think it’s time for you to go home,” she said as Barry slapped Ralph’s hand away from her.
“Yeah and keep your hands off of her,” he glared.
It wasn’t an unusual occurrence for Iris to be hit on. Barry dealt with having to watch guys approach her since they were little and it certainly didn’t change once she started wearing his ring. However, it was always easy to dismiss those leering gazes and weak advances when Iris slipped her arm around his back, silently staking her claim.
“Alright, Mr. Macho,” Iris said with amusement, patting Barry on the shoulder. “Why don’t you take Ralph home after I get him some water?”
Barry let out a heavy sigh through his nose as he scooted out of the booth. “It’s ok, I’ll get him some when we get to his place. With my luck, he’ll puke all over me while speeding.”
Once Barry hefted a struggling Ralph up, Iris stretched up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. Despite her heels, she had to reach for his cheek as he straightened a squirming Ralph.
“One for me too?” Ralph asked, stretching his cheek out to her.
Barry jerked him away. “More like my right hook in your face. Cut it out, Ralph.”
“Hey, how do you know my name?”
Barry rolled his eyes and turned to Iris. “Be back in a flash.”
He unceremoniously dumped Ralph on his couch, leaving him a glass of water and aspirin by his head before flashing back to the club. But when he got there, he found their booth to be empty. He looked around and spotted Iris at the bar past the dancing bodies. As he made his way closer, he noticed a tall and stocky man leaning down, chattering her ear off.
Forreal?? He thinks. He was gone, at most, a minute, and already there was another guy vying for her attention. It was bad enough that he barely got any time with his own wife but now there are hordes of men demanding her time and undivided attention. Nope, he was not having it.
In another flash, he was behind Iris, slipping his arms around her waist. Iris didn’t even flinch at the sudden touch, already feeling the speed force in the air the moment he returned. Instead, she only leaned into Barry’s touch, her left hand resting upon his that was resting against her stomach, their rings clinking together.
“Chad, meet the husband I was just telling you about.”
Barry tilted his chin up, squaring his shoulders. He was ready for whatever this guy was about to do or say.
“Wait, what? Your husband?”
“Yeah, can we help you?” Barry asked. His tone was a weak attempt at trying to sound friendly, the threat bleeding into his words and betraying his intention. The seemingly polite question was a thinly-veiled warning and they all knew it.
Chad looked at Iris startled before looking at Barry and then returning to look at her. “Oh…sorry, I didn't…”
“Didn’t comprehend what I meant when I said I was here with my husband?” Iris asked, quirking her brows.
“Uh…yeah…” Chad said lamely before backing away and leaving abruptly.
“Well, that was entertaining,” Iris smirked as she turned in Barry’s arm. “Ralph ok?”
She must have noticed the sour look on his face. “Are you ok?” she asked. She brushed a lock of his hair away from his forehead. “What’s going on?”
“I just,” he started before letting out a deep breath. “I just wanted to be with you tonight. Not all these people in between us and certainly not having every guy try to maul you all night.”
“Please, like anyone could.” She rubbed his arm slowly, feeling the muscle clench at her touch. “Not when I have my strong, and very capable husband with me.”
Then she lifted up her arm and flexed her bicep. “And these guns.”
That pulled a smile from his frowning lips. “Yeah, I know. No one stands a chance against those. I don’t know, first, it was Ralph–”
“Ralph? That was harmless. He’s a buddy of ours and clearly drunk.”
“Yeah well, our buddy had a thing for you when he was still on the force.”
“Wait, really?” Iris asked with interest.
Barry shot her a bored look.
“What?”
“‘He’s kind of handsome in that square-jawed Oliver Queen type of way,’” he quoted.
“Oh my god, Barry, really?” Iris cackled. “Just because I think a guy is good-looking doesn’t mean I want them jumping my bones. There’s only one guy whose hands I want on me and I’m wearing his ring.”
“That’s right, you’re mine,” he murmured, leaning into her until he caught her lips in his.
“Exactly. Just like you’re mine,” she breathed against his wet lips before he dove back in. It was meant to be a chaste kiss but soon turned ravenous as he nibbled on her lower lip and dragged it with his teeth. The heat was building between their bodies as Barry hefted her on top of the bar stool, her legs snaking around his slim waist. He barely cared that they were in public as his fingers dove into her hair, angling her lips for better access. Anyone looking would know just who they belonged to and that was fine by him.
“Yo, newlyweds, take it somewhere else.”
Iris pulled back with a smack and looked at Barry with dark eyes. Her thumb wiped at the corner of his lips where he presumed her lipstick had smeared.
“Let’s go home, Mr. Allen.”
“As you wish, Mrs. West-Allen.”
Writing jealousy was harder than I was expecting it to be and hopefully, this turned out believable and ok. Hope it fulfilled the prompt enough!
