I think making a gl or a bl series can be some kind of a recipe to success..I mean, let's be real..the story of GAP the series wasn't extraordinarly good. What made it so amazing and successful was the fact that it was a gl show and it showed an extraordinarily beautiful love story between two wonderful women and FreenBecky portrayed them perfectly. I have witnessed this a lot of times. Just some random TV shows with a mediocrate storyline awaken the intrest of fans all over the world. I mean don't tell me any of you would have been interested in GAP the series or for example Amar a muerte (Juliantina) if it would have been a heterosexual love story. And this shows how desperate we all are for good representation. It's so rare, that wlw or blb couples are the main characters in TV shows and not just side kicks and they get a really accurate representation and aren't overly sexualised and only shown for the male gaze (This happens a lot in American TV shows in my opinion). And that's why we all go absolutely crazy when there appears a wlw or blb couple in some small show from Thailand or Mexico or wherever, that is allowed to have a real love story and a happy ending. Representation matters and I'm so thankful these shows exist and they deserve every little bit of their success!! And honestly it's so brave that these shows are produced in countries like Thailand or Mexico which never really had gl or bl shows before and without knowing how people are going to react to it. So much braver than Netflix or Hollywood although for these small shows there is a lot more to it and the risk of failure is much greater. But I think big companies have not only not understood how important representation really is, they also haven't understood that it can be the key to success. So they keep making no representation or very bad one and cancelling the good one after one season. Its really tiring. So let's keep supporting those small shows that give us all we ever dreamt of as good as we can!

What's Aspen's gender called?

In chapter 11 you say the stats on the ship for gender are '38% female, 41% male, 15% brennan', which leaves 6% for everything else.

The Arboreans seem to have gender, as a Acacia is referred to as female so it's not that.

In chapter 45 you make it clear that they're something we would currently consider non-binary and also they're not brennan (although that was already clear) but I don't think it's been named at any point. Are they just non-trinary then?

Yeah they're non-ternary

🎉🎉🎉 200 follower hunger games simulator oc challenge! 🎉🎉🎉

It’s been decided that the hunger games simulator is going ahead! Very much looking forward to it!

First, the participants! I can have a maximum of 48 ocs join this challenge and a minimum of 24 challengers (If it turns out more people want to join, I’d happily increase the number). If you have multiple ocs, feel free to submit them for the challenge. However, I’m going to focus on having it be fair for everyone so your other ocs will only join if there’s space by the time I start the simulator.

Leave a comment with who you’d like to join and I’ll update this post with who’s joining. I mean, Destino will also be joining too, for a bit of fun.

Make sure I can also find the reference of your character in an easy place as the sim also comes with a add a photo button and I think that’d be fun.

Each week, I’m going to post an update with how your ocs are getting on with some art to go along with it. Any “deaths” will be drawn in a comedic way (I definitely don’t want to drawn any of them seriously hurt). Feel free to also draw some moments from this too if there’s any I haven’t drawn. The OC that wins the hunger games simulator challenge will have a drawing of their victory!

I will be starting this on Saturday 29th April.

Good luck competitors!

Mistakes Were Made - Meryl Wilsner

Hook/Gimmick: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pacing: ⭐⭐ Leads: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Side Characters: ⭐⭐⭐ Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Overall: A Tier

This book has less of a “meet-cute” and more of a “meet-sexy”, as the first 10 or so pages are basically all smut (not necessarily a bad thing!). College senior Cassie and doctor Erin meet in a college bar and end up having a one-night stand in Erin’s rental car (🥵). The twist comes when Erin meets her daughter, Parker, and Parker’s friend for breakfast the next morning and discovers that her daughter’s friend is Cassie! Hi-jinks ensue. This book is often labeled the “MILF book” and that hook definitely holds true. The taboo romance is very fun, but does bring me out of the story at a couple points, with the concert scene, shower scene, and a couple other small portions being particularly immersion-breaking.

The pacing definitely suffers in act 2. The book has a lot to cover between the spice scenes, Parker’s family drama, Cassie’s college life, both leads generally sneaking around, a job interview process, and did I mention spice scenes? Parker kind of disappears from the book around this time too, which is disappointing, but given the reason which is given in act 3, it makes sense. She comes back later when the characters need to reconcile and go public with their relationship, and the story gets a lot better when she does. Act 3 felt a touch rushed as a result, I really would have liked more of the book with Erin and Cassie being public, if only because I want the best for them and I think their dynamic is mostly pretty cute.

Erin and Cassie’s relationship reads well, for the most part. The chemistry is there, both romantically and sexually, for me at least. The one thing that stuck out to me is that Erin feels a touch immature for a 38-year-old. Maybe this is intentional and kind of brings the characters’ maturity closer together as Cassie also acts a bit older than she is, but it brought me out of the story a bit. This was most true during one of the spice scenes towards the beginning of act 2 (the shower one), but that could just be a me thing. The end of act 1/beginning of act 2 takes place during an extended stay at Erin’s house where Parker is present for most of the stay. This was, in my opinion, where the leads were at their worst. For one, Cassie is somewhat coerced into coming on the trip, experiencing a lot of pressure from Parker and Erin to go, which rubbed me the wrong way with Cassie’s financial instability being a recurring plot point. Also, Erin treats Cassie and Parker similarly in a couple of spots in this section (buying them matching pajamas and nursing them while sick), which gave me a little ick as these acts are framed as motherly towards Parker and sexy/romantic towards Cassie. I liked that act 3 has the leads interacting away from Erin’s house, which shifts the power dynamic at least a little bit in Cassie’s direction, which I felt was sorely needed earlier in the book. These two get a lot better when they are able to be openly dating, as I said earlier.

The side characters are mostly positive for the story. Acacia is in the truly terrible position of having to hear two sides of this story. At first, she only hears it from Cassie, whom she tells that sleeping with Erin is a terrible idea. Then, as we find out later, she also hears it from Parker, which is why both characters, Parker especially, kind of disappear for a bit of the book. Parker is, justifiably, pretty upset when she realizes that her mom and her friend are romantically and sexually involved and the two have some fights and stop being friends. She and Acacia kinda have to figure out how to forgive Cassie and Erin for lying to Parker and sneaking around, which I liked that the book dealt with instead of waving it away. Both are fantastic friends to Cassie. Erin’s ex-husband, Adam(?), sucks though. I understand that he’s this book’s version of the third act breakup, but he’s really not got much of a dog in this race so-to-speak, other than generally caring for Parker’s well-being. Dude blows up immediately without asking anyone how they feel about it, including Parker. What an ass.

Lastly, the spice. Holy moly, the spice. This book has, with one exception (we’ll get to you later!) the most spice of any romance I’ve read at 8(?). It’s honestly really well written in my opinion; Wilsner is probably my second favorite author I’ve read in this department. I really enjoyed that both women were in dominant/submissive roles as opposed to occupying one role exclusively. I felt like this was a very good choice with the age gap, as Cassie being solely dominant would have felt strange and Erin being solely dominant would have felt like a little too much power-imbalance for me. I believe this is the only book I’ve read with a strap scene at time of writing, and I know they can be controversial, but I enjoyed this one. These two have very cute chemistry in most of the scenes and the author doesn’t get carried away with the innuendo like some other authors I’ve read. I suppose it helps that Wilsner didn’t need to come up with a nice way of saying cock. Also uh, I’m just going to leave this quote here for…. No reason.

"Cassie, please." Erin gasped.

Cassie pulled out and thrusted again, adding a twist of her hips at the end, and Erin cried out. Her legs were trembling, her hands still clutching the blankets.

"You can move, Erin," Cassie said. "Fuck me back."

Anyway, this book was pretty good and I’d recommend it if you don’t mind either reading only at home or blushing in public!

Pardon me, had a little adventure in the ol' wizard library to learn the spell i needed to send you the stuff you asked and it took a while, but BADABING BADABOOM! It worked!

Or so i hope it did, but i'll share some details on what's to arrive.

I had fun collecting materials that almost filled two double chests! I apologize if it's a bit much, but i'm an explorer at heart, so i like to roam around and hoard loot and necessary items :p

Here's what's inside those chests: ( when i uploaded the image it got blurry so i'll note down the items and quantities)

To the left (now y'all!):

1728 Sandstone Blocks;

576 Wood Logs;

256 Blue Concrete Powder Blocks;

64 Glass Blocks;

16 White Wool Blocks;

18 Tube coral Blocks;

1 Tube Coral Fan;

1 Horn Coral;

4 Sea Pickles;

9 Blocks of Amethyst;

2 Nautilus Shells.

To the right:

24 Pumpkin seeds and 64 Pumpkins;

3 Melon seeds and 64 Melons;

64 Sugar Cane;

64 Cookies;

28 Cocoa Beans;

64 Eggs;

64 Seeds, 64 Potatoes, 64 Carrots;

14 Beetroot seeds and 41 Beetroots;

64 Bone Blocks (good to help start a farm);

22 Hay Bales;

6 Oak Saplings, 5 Birch Saplings, 4 Jungle and Acacia Saplings;

4 Bamboo, 4 Cactuses, 5 Glow Berries;

7 Red and Brown Mushrooms + 38 Mycelium Blocks to grow more;

64 Pumpkin Pies, 11 Apples, 5 Golden Apples, 10 Honey Blocks and 3 Honey Bottles.

As extras i also added some ores that might come in handy: 64 Coal, 64 Iron bars, 18 Gold Blocks;

64 Lapis Lazuli, 10 Diamonds, 16 Glowstone Blocks;

20 Flint rocks, 1 Flint and steel and 20 Obsidian Blocks (If needed, now you have a way to access that pesky lava dimension)

And finally 9 Potions of Regeneration. From what i remember, i saw you having a few rough days. Though you already possess incredible powers of regeneration, i thought these might come in handy :D

Again, I hope this doesn't come off as too much, but at least i think i sent enough sandstone.

Welp, that's all for now. If you ever need anything else, just ask. Have a nice day and see you later!

OH GODS YOU ARE MY HERO THANKYOU SO MUCH HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YOU

Anything you need you got it

(I Will make a rare excursion into Minecraft and build my tower just for you)

Happy Valentine's Day, Lyra! 🌹 38 (Love Films) and 39 (Roses) for your ask game, please. [If the answer to 38, is yes, would you mind sharing what your favourite love film is too, please? No worries if you don't like love films or if you don't want to share though 😊]. Thank you, dear! I hope you enjoy your day! 💗

Hiya Acacia and Happy Valentine’s day 🥰💕! Of course, I added a tv show for the rom-com part because I ran out of movies lom but I hope you enjoy, and thank you I hope you enjoy your Valentine’s as well 🥰!

38: Do you enjoy love films?

I do enjoy some romantic films 😁! Usually it depends on the actors in it or the plot, but I tend to enjoy them on ocassion! I’ll list three for you 🥰.

1 Moulin Rouge!

This has to be my favorite romantic movie ever, yes it’s a musicial and yes it’s a tragedy, but for some reason I just really enjoy it! Maybe it’s the music, the costumes, and me having a crush on Ewan McGregor when I was a child. But this movie is one of my favorites and is one I try to recommend!

2 Just Married

Now I’ll admit this movie isn’t the best out there, but it’s really funny and kinda stupid 😆. I remember watching it so much as a kid and thinking it was the funniest movie I had ever seen (probably because there’s a bit of slapstick in the movie, as well as fart jokes) and i’m sure if i were to watch it now as an adult I would cringe. This movie isn’t for everyone but if you are in the mood for silly 2003 nonsense than I highly recommend it 😆!

3 Touch Your Heart

Now this one isn’t a movie I’ll admit, it’s a Kdrama, but I included it because the episodes are all 1-1 1/2 hours long and it’s so tooth achingly sweet I had to include it 😆! The show is about an actress who ends up working at a law firm in order to prepare for an upcoming role and she meets woth and works with this cold Tsundere type lawyer and they fall in love and it’s just a cute little rom-com that’s just tooth achingly sweet 😆!

39: Have you ever given anyone/received roses?

Nope, well, I have once but they were fake Roses and my mom gave them to me after a Ballet recital 😂! But the last time I *gave* anyone roses was my mom for…Mother’s day or Valentine’s day, but they were supposed to be from my dad and yeah…my mom doesn’t like flowers as gifts (she see’s them as a waste of money) so I never bought her flowers again agwjwjwjwj. As for “romantically” by a partner or crush, I’ve never been given roses nor have I given any. But maybe someday I will 🤔😁!
