Ace Rep

“Oh, that’s where you draw a line? Are you afraid I’ll be offended by a tumble-ballad?” She looked both amused and disapproving at the thought.

            “No, I won’t tell you because I tend not to sit through them. I’m just… it’s not something…” He fumbled, blushed furiously in embarrassment at his own struggles. “It’s not for me.”

            “No bulls?” She teased, but her tone was gentle.    

         “No one.” His reply was more curt than he liked.

I've been putting off watching kokyuu no karasu for gods know how long and when I finally got time to check it out it wasn't as good as I was hoping for it to be 😔😔 everything is kinda bland and feels just slightly off somehow, be it style, the characters or even music. I'll watch it through ofc but it's such a shame! I remember how excited I was when the trailer came out,,,,,

good thing there's kusuriya no hitorigoto airing!!!!

acerep maomao is something I didn't know I needed

book review | A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions

Author: Sheena Boekweg

Cover Art: Sofia Bonati

Cover Design: Trisha Previte

Genre: YA Fiction, Historical Fiction, YA Romance

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(like a 3.75?)

Behind every powerful man is a trained woman, and behind every trained woman is the Society. It started with tea parties and matchmaking, but is now a countrywide secret. Gossips pass messages in recipes, Spinsters train to fight, and women work together to grant safety to abused women and children. The Society is more than oaths—it is sisterhood and purpose. In 1926, seventeen-year-old Elsie is dropped off in a new city with four other teenage girls. All of them have trained together since childhood to become the Wife of a powerful man. But when they learn that their next target is earmarked to become President, their mission becomes more than just an assignment; this is a chance at the most powerful position in the Society. All they have to do is make one man fall in love with them first.

Goodness, this was an interesting book. I’ve read a couple of ‘girls compete for a powerful man’s heart’ novels, told from the perspective of the ambitious, outlier protagonist, but this was so different and so refreshing. The worldbuilding was well done with the society’s motives and structure developed throughout the book, rather than all at once. I absolutely loved the dynamic between the main 5 characters, with Mira being my favorite (more on that later). There was some drama, which kept it realistic, but not so much that it felt like a reality tv show.

I also adored the ace rep! One of the character’s coming out as (questioning) ace/aro meant a lot -- early on, I could sort of tell that we were going to get some kind of big coming out moment from one of the characters, but seeing it written out on the page was so nice. Platonic and non-physical romantic relationships are just as valid :)

There were things that bothered me, but they don’t break this book. I would’ve liked to see more POC rep instead of just a passing reference. Sometimes, the whole 1927 atmosphere was lost on me -- it could’ve passed for any post-war time period.  The ending was satisfying, although I wish this book was a teeny bit longer to help with the pacing -- after the climax everything felt a little rushed and underdeveloped. However, I do think Boekweg did a wonderful job in telling the empowering story she set out to write and readers looking for a women-centered novel with an intriguing twist will appreciate this read...I’m keeping an eye out for her novels in the future!

For the book cover/design, I give this a 5/5. I love the visual contrasts between the main figure and the background and the colors are just as bold as our main character. The interior design was also really fun, I loved the illustrations and the vintage adverts. Definitely one of my favorite covers from this year!

#QOTD What have you been reading lately?⁠ ⁠ Here a little #AceRep #Recommendation I'm looking forward to reading Dave & Simon’s story! I loved Book 1; Red Heir and Dave and his dragon friend Pie whom I had to made a cute little Pop of!!! He's just so cute!!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Socially Orcward (Adventures in Aguillon, Book 3) by Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey⁠ 📗 getbook.at/SociallyOrcward⁠ ⭐ Grab it FREE to read in Kindle Unlimited ⭐⁠ ⁠ Dave’s a simple orc with a simple life. He has his dragons, his music, and his friends, and that’s mostly enough. Sometimes though, he gets lonely and wishes there was someone he could share his interests with—although he knows it’s not likely that there’s a special person out there for someone who’s seven feet tall and green to boot.⁠ ⁠ So it’s a delightful surprise when Simon Perrin, the new kitchen boy, not only knows all about dragons, but seems to like Dave as much as Dave likes him back. But all is not what it seems, and Simon is hiding a dark secret…⁠ ⁠ 📚 Catch up with the series here:⁠ Red Heir: getbook.at/RedHeir⁠ Elf Defence: getbook.at/ElfDefence⁠ ⁠ #ReadQueerAllYear⁠ 🏳️‍🌈⁠ #GayRomanceReviews #GRR #LisaHenry #SarahHoney #fantasy #gayromance #boyskissingboys #LGBTQ #readingissexy #lovewins #QueerAllYear #read #bookstagram #reading #books #book #booklover #bookworm #bookish #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #reader #readersofinstagram #love #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/CYobYvov2rP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Me: the main focus of my story is gonna be all the major events that happen that influence a massive amount of character development, so any sort of romance will be in the background/done at the very end

Also me: *makes 3 of my main and supporting characters ace*

♠️💜🖤💟 Happy ace awareness week loves! in honor of the week here are a selection of books I have enjoyed recently that also include major ace rep!💟🖤💜♠️ . . . . Swipe through for books that I don’t have physical copies of. I tried to get a range of genres from sci-fi like Not Your Backup, The Cybernetic Teashop, Chameleon Moon, and Tarnished are the Stars. The last two of which I’m actually reading now. Then there is fantasy with The Perfect Assassin, Beneath the Citadel, and Every Heart a Doorway. Comic wise there is jughead Jones. And finally within romance there is Curved Horizon (this is the second book in a doulogy) Soft on Soft and How to be a Normal Person (the love interest). I don’t have a lot of aro rep, but it is something I am hoping to find more examples of and when I do I’ll post about them. Ps. And happy sweater weather if you are in a place that is finally getting cold, who else feels like it has taken waaay too long to get here? #acerep #lgbtbooks queerlit #acebooks #books #sweaterweather #aceawarenessweek #notyourbackup #softonsoft #theperfectassassin #beneaththecitadel #howtobeanormalpersob #jugheadjones #curvedhorizon #chameleonmoon #everyheartadoorway #thecyberneticteashop #tarnishedarethestars https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ANSEZg1nw/?igshid=du3wmuak559o

okay so I just finished taz amnesty and am about to start taz graduation after listening to the live shows, and I wanted to see the general vibe and how people were feeling and whatnot so I did a little tumblr search for taz graduation

only to see that one of the characters is ace????

like I don’t think I’ve ever consumed any media with any explicitly ace character before? I mean I have a list of shit with ace representation that I have to get around to consuming but haven’t yet, but that’s also stuff that I’ve actively hunted out? so just to know that in this content I like there’s gonna just casually be “hey they’re ace!”,,,,,, that’s that good good shit and vv nice and I was also taken aback cause it drew attention to the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever consumed any media with explicitly ace rep before? and i felt this sense of giddiness and happiness over the fact (ew emotions I know) 

okay but anyway kinda hella fucking p u m p e d not gonna lie
