Week 2) Monday, May 21th to Sunday, May 27th 2018 

bonjour y´all and welcome to the second week of my reading list :) this is actually the second time i´m typing this down since tumblr actually decided that it wouldn´t save my last draft where i once had all typed down for the list (thanks for that!). i don´t remember what i wrote down to all the fics the first time, but guess i just start again :D i really hope you all enjoyed my list last week & left some love to the writers <3 

as usual, i put together a list of (this time) 19 fics which i enjoyed reading a lot the past week! please don´t take it personal if you didn´t make it to this list, it doesn´t mean that you´re a bad writer or stuff. you are all really talented and underrated. it´s just my personal opinion and taste. 

feel free to tag me in your fics or send me the links via direct message. since my notifications aren´t working properly, sending the links via message is the better option. i´m excited to hear from you:) 

so, i really hope you all enjoy this weeks list and don´t forget to leave some love and feedback to the writers since this is the only credit they will get for their work :)

who’s your favourite LI from each series you’ve read? :o and why?

*claps hands together* ALRIGHT!!!! (warning: as i typed i grew more and more long-winded and i dont apologize for it but u should kno)

alright obviously i have to start off with Astoria, of which Alex is my favorite LI! I'm not gonna go into why because *gestures to entire blog* and i've made multiple posts about it

from Immortal Heart Society, it's definitely Emilio thus far. admittedly i havent tried reading the other two, but I like emilio a lot! he's really grumpy and weary it seems, but i find the grumpiness charming and the weariness feels like it's there to be driven away by mmc's fresh approach and excitability. he's fun so far!

from My Siren Crush, I gotta say it's Maxime so far!! he and Arianna only have 6 episodes each so it's hard to say, but i LOVE his personality and how sweet he is. I really like that he's shy and that he does a lot of different kinds of art, and how gentlemanly he is!

from Ever After Academy, it's definitely Arin!! Sure they've only got one season so far, but they were my favorite character almost right off the bat, before we even knew they'd be getting a route! I love how much they care about the people around them and ho they do their best to do the right thing, how they take on so many responsibilities and are willing to do so again and again, if that's what it takes to get a happy ending for everyone. they're so funny, too, and i just really am a slut for the dynamic they have with fmc, the HISTORY....... incredible

from Tales of the Wild, it's Bram!!!!!!!! my sweet bear boy, he's so kind and gentle and strong and Stubborn af..... i really really love bears so i knew i was a goner the instant we were able to vote for him to be a new LI. his route is really interesting so far, too, what with MC being a dinae whose animal form was stolen! he cares so much about her and just wants to keep her safe, to the point he makes a Very Important Oath to her... like......... he cares her....... its so sweet..

from Reigning Passions it's gotta be Xenia!!! :D i admit i have a Slight obsession with spider-people, and the moment I saw her i knew that I was gonna love her to death. when she got a route i was so overjoyed! she's just. so genuine in everything that she does, she does her best to truly do what's right and what's good for the kingdom, and for mc. she's incredibly smart and resourceful, her magic is SO COOL, and she's just really really gorgeous. i like her dry sense of humor and her blushing sprite...... i love that she slowly gives her trust to mc, and confides to her about personal matters such as her late husband, and how she clearly still loves him even whilst loving mc. she feels like such a unique character, i really just adore her <3

from Sin With Me, i've gotta say my favorite atm is Onyx! I love all the routes, but DAMN onyx's really went all out with making her a fucking DRAGON?!??!?!?!? queen shit. she was also a really unique route in that she dealt with a lot of trauma from past abuse and had to learn to open up about it and accept that what happened t her wasn't right, and that she wasn't a failure for it. it had such a strong found family feeling, even compared to the other routes. everyone just wanted her to be happy. they accepted mc into their ranks quickly because she made onyx happy, and that's all the troupe wanted. and she is so pretty and funny..... she's so CUTE...... and i think it's one f the few cases where the LI is shorter than the MC?? idk she's just. so badass, and i loved her route to pieces!!!

from Sweet Enchantments my favorite is Lucien! (with a shoutout to emeril for close second)! the character growth he undergoes in his route is just ASTOUNDING, it's written and paced so well, i can't help but love it and him!!! also one of my favorite colors is turquise and thats His Color(tm) so im a hoe for that. i just. really my big thing with him is that he grows and flourishes into such an incredible character, so sweet and humble. he's also a very very funny LI (imo), and i love seeing him interact with all the other sweets characters! his cgs are the most gorgeous things...... there's a scene where he takes mc into the human world, to a cafe so she can call her parents, and it's so sweet. there's another where he takes her out and plays soccer with her. he just cares so much about her and her wellbeing, and even when he gets afraid that she'll leave him (when she's feeling homesick especially), he talks it out with her and learns to move past those feelings. he promises himself to her before he's even out of Sweets, and i just.......... it's so romantic and precious ;O; <3

from Havenfall it's always gonna be Mackenzie!!!!!! she was my VERY FIRST lovestruck route so she is always going to have a very special place in my heart. plus i mean. LOOK AT HER. her cute face and her CUTE WOLF EARS <333 she's so cool and nerdy!!! she's so STRONG!!! her protective streak is so charming and endearing..... the way that she forgives annabelle and damien and accepts them into her little supernatural family is really precious <3 she's so strong and that strength comes not only from her, but from her bonds with everyone else, and it's...... magical. it really stole my heart and sold me on lovestruck!!

from Love & Legends my favorite (so far) is Alain! I've only read three full routes so far, but Alain is incredible despite the shortness of his route. afaik it's the only route where the mc actually has magic (which i like), and they're ACTUALLY childhood friends to lovers in that mc is a reincarnation across time and space of his childhood friend. he's so cool and sweet, he would do absolutely anything for her because he loves her so so much. which is definitely one of his faults and what led him to being one of the Witch Queen's generals, but when mc came around......... you could tell he was so broken hearted by everything, but that he couldn't bear to not love her, even when it made him bad. and you can see that love again, when mc is selfish, and he leaves her out of anger in chicago. he keeps an eye on her despite his anger and his hurt, because his love is that strong. at some point, this one god speaks and says that alain's route is the only one of his lifetimes that doesn't end in tragedy, where he gets to be happy. i lvoe that trope so much even though it hurts so much. in the other two routes i've finished, he can't leave the witch queen's side, because she's that friend he knew, who he's loved for so long. in his own route, he's only able to leave the witch queen because he finds mc- a glance into what the witch queen could have been. who she should have been. someone kind and strong, who would love him, too. i dunno. his route is just really amazing and so is he :)

in Starship Promise......... it's a hard choice, but i have to say Nav ;O;; whenever i think of nav i think of that one fucking scene........ the one that broke my heart and made me cry for like Days. Stop him. Stop him. Stop him. gods, that was an incredible scene, i don't think i'll ever get over how powerful it was. not to mention... SALAD BOY!!!!! nav is Also a very funny character. he's a secret sadboy who tries to hide it with his charm and good looks, which, A for effort bud. he ends up being unable to leave mc behind, because- even though it scares him- he's fallen for her. his story is really incredible, he's an amazing character and it was wonderful to see him get the justice he deserved.

for Villainous Nights, i'll have to say my favorite LI is Lorelei! :D i'd say renzei and juliette are super close seconds tho. but Lorelei!!!!!!!!! I think she was one of the first routes I read following mackenzie, and she was definitely the first I read from villainous nights! i loved how strong and silent she was, and how much she loves coffee, and how she can make the earth quake. i always loved how hard she tries, how much effort she puts into being in control of herself, how much she does to try making things right. she did bad things in the past, blinded by optimus' promise to do good. and when she realized it, she couldn't stay with them. she turned her back on them and did her damned best to make up for all the hurt she caused. she loves the earth and its people and its nature, and she wants to keep it all safe. she had a broken heart, but with mc by her side, she's finally able to heal and find closure that she couldn't get before, on her own. not to say every LI isn't unique, but lorelei's is another route that just really stood out from the others. her panic attacks, the way she goes mute when she's overwhelmed, how the earth trembles when she gets angry or afraid and how she tries to push her emotions down to stop it........ i havent any of that- especially her muteness- in any other LI in the app. (not that ive read every story yet). lorelei is really incredible and i love her lots my butch wife ;O;

for Queen of Thieves, it's DEFINITELY Nikolai! first and foremost he's demi!!!!!!!! which i was so excited to find out about!!!!!!!!!! that made me instantly love him, and i think that ended up being the reason why i finally started reading QOT at all. i'll take all the a-spec rep i can get, thanks. aside from that, his route is just..... incredibly well-written. everything about it feels like it has this quiet intensity, which matches him perfectly. his self-sacrificing bullshit..... his truly tragic backstory........ how he came to make the poppy........ ho much he loves his little family, how much he loves mc, how much he loves ELIZABETH......... there's nothing abut nikolai that i dont love. he's so smart, but so fucking stupid sometimes, it's the best. he's the best. that first night, in his last season i believe, when he didn't have a nightmare for the very first time ever........... i don't know if i have ever been so happy for a fictional character before. i was so overjoyed for him. he's an incredible character and so, so interesting and multi-faceted, i can't imagine anyone else taking place for my #1 qot character :^)

and last but not least.... Gangsters in Love! My favorite here...... changes a lot, i'm not even gonna lie. it's ALWAYS constantly changing between chance, rory, and ash. like. i just can't pick one. so i wont go into as much detail here as the other paragraphs, but chance is just so FUNNY and dumb like yeah he's a badass ganglord wh orides a motorcycle but also he wears a shirt with a stupid little frog on it i LOVE him. i love how much he loves his gang, how much he loves mc. and ash... who WOULDNT love ash? he's such a sweetie and his smiling sprite makes my heart stumble and he's a dog person???? dream man. he's so silly and cute, he does his best to protect the gang and find justice for his sister, it's so admirable ;o;; and RORY!!!! rory is so badass and cool, she's wicked smart and kinda reckless but in the most charming way. i always really appreciated that her route touched on her alcoholism and showed her growing past it. i loved her character growth in general, and i ESPECIALLY loved how she acted towards stella and how she grew to love her.

that's..... that's it, i think!!!! :0c thanks so much for asking!!!!

january: week two

09: i woke up when kevin got out of bed at around 10:30 am and then i stayed in bed until 12 pm. i made myself an egg mcmuffin (i’ve missed you) and then ate a kiwi. i organized all my receipts and my budget sheet, sent ashley a belated christmas present (so excited, zomg), paid off my chase credit card because the balance was annoying me, and then started applying to job again. oh, i called laura in the morning and she said there probably won’t be work until maybe march. so gg me. well, i’m okay for now and still motivated to look for another job. kevin got home a bit early, took a nap, and then i finished applying to a few jobs after my ms word updated. i looked for new recipes and looked at groupons while kevin made us sausage fried rice. i was worried about my part-time remote job as a mobile reviewer because i haven’t been notified of any tasks recently. i learned that i was supposed to check from now and yeah, luckily i had some and i did that after eating dinner.

we finally got to watch more supernatural. we watched three episodes! then kevin washed the dishes while i exercised. he showered and then started setting up this thing that turns your tv into a touch screen that he backe on indiegogo. it doesn’t really work so gg. we ended the night by playing ‘the witness’ together after i showered. we knocked out at 1 am.

10: lol i’m so behind on updating my tumblr. x__x; sigh. for some reason i couldn’t get up at a normal time today. i guess the lack of sleep and traveling from yesterday got to me. i eventually got up at 2 pm to make myself breakfast and then to figure out what i was going to do today. i mean there’s a lot of stuff, but i don’t feel 100% myself yet. i updated my tumblr, planned meals for the week, and wrote them out. then i did some cleaning and some tasks and munched on pork jerky. mmm. i took all of our luggage to the storage room and got ready to go grocery shopping. i missed bb and her smoothness while driving <3 kevin did too (he drove). we made all the stops: kam man, roche bros, and bj’s. we tried recycling all of our glass bottles at roche bros but they didn’t accept some so we had to throw them down the recycling chute at deco when we got back. we also spent too much time at bj’s (i thought we didn’t need a cart so kevin was holding 12 chicken thighs in his arms for way too long) because we couldn’t find the damn chia seeds LOL. 

we bought microwavable chicken masala and ate it with rice for dinner because it was kinda late when we got back. we watched supernatural and then i spent the rest of the night looking at recipes (michelle sent me a bomb af website; thanks, gurl) and talking to winston and ashley about job searching. winston might be able to refer me for a position so i’m excited. kevin and i went to sleep pretty late at around 2:30 am or 3 am because he stayed up gaming and i just stayed up because i could haha. 

11: i woke up at 12 pm again! woot. LOL. actually, i woke up at like 8 am and i felt good but it was too early so i went back to sleep. my stomach was also in some sort of pain so i tried sleeping it off. hmm. well, i ate some cereal and then went straight into applying for more jobs and did mobile review tasks. i actually got an email back from a company and i have a scheduled phone conversation for friday! i’m excited. (: i played some pokemon during the day and then went straight into my intense workout. it took me 30 extra minutes to do it because of rest time. my body is so out of shape right now :( it’s okay though because we just work through it again. your body won’t stay the same forever! haha. right after exercising, i started washing the dishes and cooking dinner. i made spicy coconut kale fried rice with sausage and red bell pepper all by myself today. it took forever to cut the veggies, but i have gotten better at cutting correctly! hehe. kevin got back when i finished prepping the veggies and then he went to shower while i finished cooking. it was a success! kevin did help put in soy sauce and chili sauce though :P

we watched two episodes of supernatural together and then he washed the dishes and went to play dota while i showered and then got a chance to do the book exchange thing on facebook, upload old af photos, and play some more pokemon before going to sleep. we munched on triscuits at like 1 am. x__x omg i need to stop snacking and maybe go to sleep earlier to prevent me from getting hungry! then we went to sleep at around 2:30 am again. haha we both need to start sleeping earlier, especially kevin because he has actual work. LOL. oh, vivian is planning to sleep over on the 28th and i also will skype with carolyn on friday! so exciting~

12: i was dead tired in the morning. i got up at 12 pm again. :P i ate cereal for breakfast, updated my tumblr, did mobile review tasks, and answered my messages on facebook for the book exchange. i was pretty productive. i applied to a few more jobs and filled the humidifier and then talked with some people on facebook and played pokemon for the rest of the day. it was nice. kevin got back early so we watched an episode of supernatural! then i did some cardio before heading out to deco’s trivia night in our lounge. we thought there was going to be real food but it was just snacks so i didn’t eat much. i also got this flavored sparkling water that tasted like alka-seltzer...never again. x_x kevin and i teamed up with two ladies who live in the apartment as well. our group name was floor 2245 and we won second place with 81 points to another group that had 84 points! one of our team mates had some kind of genius-level memory for shows and entertainment and actors and movies. it was crazy! hehe it was nice being kind of social today, but we still felt a bit awkward after the game ended.

we headed back and ate actual dinner while watching another episode of supernatural. then i did more cardio to finish off my workout and spent like 40 minutes to an hout stretching and foam rolling. MY LEGS ARE SO FLIPPING TIGHT :( my right quad hurt so much after and i think i made it worse because it started hurting when i bent my knee. i massaged it out more so it’s a bit better, but yeah, after stretching, i feel sore and in pain. i can’t wait for our massage on saturday. x__x i showered and then played some pokemon with kevin before heading to sleep at 2:30 am again LOL.

13: i actually woke up when kevin did and i was awake! i rolled around in bed until 10:30 am though. i got a message from apple saying someone was using my old email to sign into icloud...uhhh...so i decided to contact apple to close that account. it turned into a 2 hour conversation and i shared my screen and everything. he couldn’t verify me as the owner of the account through apple protocols so he said he would call me back tomorrow and see if adding my phone number does anything... i was going to call yahoo to deactivate my old email but then decided against another long af phone call and just turned off forwarding to my gmail account. then i did my daily tasks of applying to jobs, mobile task reviews, and updating my tumblr. i had a phone call with a potential employer at 1 pm and it went pretty well! the person i talked to was super nice and i could tell we connected over design and i felt excited about his work because he was really good at explaining his work and was pumped about it too. the next step is meeting team members next week (: i’m excited.

then i played some pokemon and watched some youtube videos until it was time to video chat with carolyn! i haven’t talked to her in forever! it was so nice just talking to her and updating her x__x there was so much to update her about my life haha. we bonded over apartment life, cooking, and just being confused about life right now. carolyn gets it when i talk about a simple outlook on life like living in a cottage in a small forest near a small cute town LOL. i hope i get to video chat with her more often now~ then i got a job referral from winston for ibm. thanks, bro <333 i hope things just work out in my career life haha. kevin got back pretty early and then i think we just ko’d for a few hours on the bed. we just both fell asleep?! our sleep schedules are so messed up... he really needed a nap. we woke up at like 8 pm and then cooked dinner. kevin made beef & tofu stir fry and we ate that while watching some supernatural. after sitting and playing pokemon for a bit, i decided to exercise. i just did arms and not too intense cardio because my stomach was really full. we took out the garbage after and i showered, played pokemon, watched ‘cooks vs. cons’ and we ended up sleeping at around 4 am. well, i ko’d before kevin because he had to wash dishes and shower. lol that nap really messed with us. xP

14: because we slept so late, we got up just in time to eat breakfast and get ready to leave for our massage! the apple advisor called me back and said it didn’t work and i just told him that it was alright...i guess haha. as we drove to the location, i noticed that the neighborhood got a bit shadier and shadier. the day spa was literally an apartment building and it was locked when we got there? but there was a candle lit and everything. x__x so we checked the alternative location, which was less than a block down but it said they relocated to the first location we went to. so we called and then i went into the next door store to ask, which was also pretty shady. it was like a family antique/thrift store... the owner eventually told me that she was there and she should still be there. after waiting 10-15 minutes, the masseuse opened the door for us and then told us we were supposed to be there at 2 pm? but then i told her that we had a 1 pm appointment for two people (one after another) and then she explained to us how she tried to contact us and rebook because her secretary double booked her...wut. -__-” it took me forever to book an appointment because i was basically playing phone tag with her for a month or so.

she felt bad and said she would come in tomorrow (they aren’t open tomorrow) and would upgrade us to hot stones. we agreed and then drove back and ate leftovers for lunch while watching two episodes of supernatural. then kevin went climbing and i decided to work out while watching ‘a series of unfortunate events’ on netflix. it was similar to the movie, but better in a sense. i feel like i need to get deeper into the series because the movie covered all of the beginning. i played pokemon after and then kevin came back, showered, and played on his computer for a while. then kevin started making the ratatouille spaghetti for dinner and i helped him after my shower. it turned out pretty good -- would taste better with mushrooms and more sauce though. we watched two more episodes of supernatural and then he went to play dota. i watched ‘cooks vs. cons’ while playing more pokemon. i got a call from the day spa earlier in the evening telling us that she can’t meet with us tomorrow due to insurance issues so we could rebook for february 18th -____-” uhhh.... she’ll call me back on tuesday to see if we want to do that, but i contacted groupon right away. they said that they can’t refund me, but i sent another email back demanding credit or a refund because they refunded another person on yelp! me and kevin are thirsty af for a massage so we’ll try booking somewhere nearby tomorrow and see. anyway, we eventually went to sleep at 2 or 3 am...

15: i set an alarm to wake up and call the thai massage wellness place we wanted to check out today. i did just that and we managed to get a couple’s massage at 5 pm (: woot! this place is also close by unlike the other one... we cuddled in bed a little longer and then we got hungry haha. i just ate cereal while kevin microwaved some leftover ratatouille pasta for brunch. we watched supernatural for a while and then kevin went to play some skyrim. kevin tried playing it on the steam controller with the tv, but it didn’t feel 100% right and he didn’t want to practice doing it so he left and played on the computer. i was playing pokemon and then i decided to work out before our massage. i did abs while watching ‘a series of unfortunate events’ and then i did cardio. i showered right after and ate a late lunch. kevin was in the middle of a dota game when it was 4:30 pm and i freaked because i didn’t want to be late and he said it would take 15 minutes to drive there...which it didn’t. LOL. he rechecked and told me it was 5 minutes, but he also still needed to change and eat as well. so he did that and then we were off!

this massage was in and out, but probably one of the best massages i’ve ever gotten. they were really quick and the ambiance was half-nice. it wasn’t cheap feeling like the one we got before with the groupon (when my massage table was cold af). kevin was breathing real hard and it wasn’t until the end that i found out that his masseuse was walking on his back o__o” he said his calves were weak after that. my masseuse did trigger point therapy (i believe) on my back. she took a long af time on my back because i guess it’s real messed up LOL. she like “popped” all these trigger points on my shoulder and they hurt but felt so good. we’re definitely gonna come back. (: i’m glad we finally found a couple’s massage spot that we both enjoy. after the massage, we went to roche bros to buy fruit, english muffins, and some snacks. then we went to kam man to get other fruit and kevin also bought snacks and some choya beverage. we got back, ate leftovers for dinner while watching supernatural, did laundry, kevin packed for san francisco tomorrow, and then i played pokemon while kevin played dota. we stayed up again but slept at 2 am. we were also super munchy. i think it’s because we stay up too long x__x; so we snacked a bit and then kevin watched an episode of ‘cooks vs. cons’ with me in the bed. oh! i also finally beat the elite four today. yay! i can finally get on with filling up the rest of my pokedex. i’m at 84% or less or something like that. hehe.

i think i’m a bit homesick? i miss going to places with my friends. even though going back to chicago was exhausting, i wish i had a bit of that here. the girls want to go to bombobar and at first i was like meh it’s whatever but i think it got to me because i think i’m really craving sugar and their company and just going out to places so i told kevin and he said that we can find a dessert place and go together too and snap them LOLOLOL. my boyfriend knows how to make me feel better...i guess? ahahha. <3
