Summary: Shuri, a brilliant and ambitious young scientist, dedicates herself to her work, sacrificing the usual experiences of her peers. She accidentally overhears a conversation that devastates her, leaving her confidence shattered and her heart broken. Her next door neighbor, Namor, has no problem showing Shuri everything she’s missed out on. What could possibly go wrong?

Why I Love It: Man! This is the second work from this author that I have read. What lead me to them was their “Adventures in Co-Parenting” series. Their take on Shuri and Namor as domestic regulars just trying to navigate raising their adorable daughter in the wake of their divorce is sweet and handled with care. I will say – it does have a Romonda as the villain trope in there, but the focus is mainly on Shuri and Namor finding their way to falling in love again as parents who want the best for their daughter.

The “Swim Lessons” verse is completely different! It’s young scientist Shuri meets cocky playboy Olympic swimmer Namor and it is so good! It’s like one of those rom coms you see where the uptight young woman finds her arrogant next door neighbor to be rude and annoying, but quickly falls for his charms as he tries to get her to loosen up a little. And the best way for Namor to do that with Shuri is to give her the pleasure she’s been missing out on! 

It’s got cameos from Riri Wiliams and MJ (among others), which I will leave as a surprise! And the characters are so well written, you just go with it. You’re in this world, you believe this set-up, and you are rooting for Shuri to get the guy, even though they both are trying to pretend like they aren’t falling for each other.

What I really appreciate about this story is that it is updated regularly every week.

Oh, btw lahat pala ng upcoming posts and photos ko for 2023 are screen captured na lang since tinatamad ako kuhanin ang originals sa hard drive haha

This is our slow month. Wala naman gaano ganap nung time na to. We just had coffee lang (not me, as a non coffee ghorlie) kita naman sa caption, swiped yan and libre ni ate matet! Thanks, te ❤️

Highlight yan ng month since madaming revelations nung time na yan. Hahahaha saka masaya kami nung night na yan. All black pa ata kaming tatlo if i'm not mistaken.

Normal day at work, RTO day and as usual RTO means GASTOS and CHIKA hahahahaa.

Bye,

Bel

063023 Coming Out 🏳️‍⚧️

Being trans isn't something new for me. Something l've realized about myself over time. Something that has always been there. Something that was a part of me from the beginning.

As a Nonbinary afab person who has never felt comfortable in their own skin, wishing to be in a different body, it feels obvious in hindsight.

I'm 25 years old now, turning 26 soon. Life is a journey we all go through, and it's never too late to discover "new" things about yourself.

Keep growing, keep changing. Stay safe everyone.

Can’t Stay Away’s Fic Rec Friday #3 (06.30.23) - Inspired by Music by @cyb3rscoups

Title: Inspired By Music (Tumblr) | 

Author(s): feelingalilwoozi (ao3) | @cyb3rscoups (Tumblr)

Pairing/Ship(s): Attoye (Okoye x Attuma)

Summary:  Short Attoye blurbs based on songs/song lyrics.

Why I Love It: I love music. I think most creative people do, and most creative people who write use it to inspire, inform, shape their writing. They also use it to inspire them when they are blocked from expanding on some larger project that requires a bit more brain power to ideate around.

I stumbled upon these short songfics from cyb3rscoups when I was preparing to do another installment of fic rec Friday after so long of leaving it neglected. I had previously recommended their “Baby Daddy Chronicles” series, and I wanted to take a look at other works of theirs.

These music inspired blurbs were the perfect, quick reading for an Attoye fix, and easy to recommend. My favorite, which I had previously come across when it was originally posted, is “Cross my Mind” which features prose inspired by one of my favorites songs of the indelible Jill Scott’s. Jill is a poet, and this ode to Attoye through her is poetry.

Honestly, it’s nice to have something like this when you just need a few quick fixes of your faves on nights when you can’t sleep and you need to decompress. And the coolest thing? Listening to the tracks while you read. ::chefs kiss:
