#Clare Gilmore

[eccentric-ocean]

Made the mistake of starting a good book in the evening and now it's too late and I've read 140 pages and I'm giddy but I have to force myself to go to sleep. Anyway I love reading. The book is Love Interest by Clare Gilmore. I'm at the 40% mark and delighted!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Love Interest by Clare Gilmore 🎧

I wanted to love this workplace rivals romance more than I did, but it still makes for a promising debut. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this one and the tropes are right up my alley, so I was excited to dig in. And the meet cute set things off on the right note – I could feel the playful vibes mixed with the tension of their future working relationship. I actually really liked the…

Jace to Amatis when he found out that Stephen was his dad and that he was originally married to Amatis:

Lin: By the Goddess, I hate him.

Merren: Me too.

Lin: …You have now idea who I’m talking about?

Merren: Solidarity, sister.

@mercyburned / clare cousland everything i said was the truth.

It could be easy to forget that, if you discarded their trappings, they were simply a man and a woman. Not a knight, not a lady, not a retainer, not a Warden. Roland never felt it as keenly as he did now.

"I would follow you until the ends of the world and beyond if you asked it of me, but my heart is something I gave to you long ago, my lady.... Clare."

Roland would rather die than lose her. He almost had. To be alive and by her side once more was already more than he could ask for, but the Maker had seen fit to grant him another chance. He wouldn't waste it.

"I'm only sorry I didn't say it sooner, but please know that my feelings are just as true."

@mercyburned / clare cousland “ wanna talk about it? “

The nightmares have dogged his steps since escaping from Howe's dungeon, and even in his waking hours they linger at the edge of his mind. The smell of burning flesh, the smoke, the panic seizing his insides. When he wakes next to Claire's bedroll with wide eyes and a cold sweat, he knows Claire understands what he's woken from.

Roland ran a shaky hand through his auburn hair and tried to steady his thoughts. "Not about that," he answered, unable to keep the tremor from his voice. "Anything else."

Something About Clarisse

I am Clarisse Anne but you can call me "Clare" for short. My friends call me that or just my first name. I cannot disclose my age for privacy reasons but I am already in college. I am pursuing Bachelor of Science in Accountancy studying at Sacred Heart College. I am the youngest in our family and the only girl from my siblings. I have 3 brothers and my mom and dad are already senior citizens. My hobbies are playing the ukulele, reading novels, mobile gaming, and playing with my pet. I have one dog and I love him so much. I also like to dance and sing, although I'm not that great at it. My favorite color is anything but make it pastel. Also, I like to watch movies and series in my free time, be it ghibli, animated, slice of life, or anything. Series that I particularly like are Gilmore Girls, Modern Family, Bridgerton, Anne With An E, and many more. I also like reading manhuas, but right now I do not have the time. I actually like the subject science, particularly the branch of chemistry and biology. Probably because of my teachers back in SHS who made the subject more fun. My favorite food is pizza and my favorite drink is milktea. Kind of common but I really love it and makes my mood happy. That's all I can think about me, for now.

Levels of being canonically gay:

Character is undeniably gay in the text (Captain Jack Harkness, Oberyn Martell, Klaus Hargreeves, Colin Hughes, Clare Devlin, Max from Black Sails)

Character is explicitly gay but some people will miss it (Will Byers, Keeley Jones until season 3)

Character does gay things and feels no need to process their sexuality about it (anyone Russell T. Davies has ever written, Tony Stonem, Cassie Ainsworth, book Daenerys, Rhaenyra?)

The character doesn’t know if they’re gay, I don’t know if they’re gay, but we’re both wondering about it (Karma Ashcroft from Faking It. This category was created solely for her)

Character is gay by Word of God (Albus Dumbledore, maybe Matt Boyd from AFTG)

Character is gay only in off-handed jokes (Eleanor from The Good Place, Clara Oswald, Stiles Stilinski, Lily Aldrin)

Character reads as queer to queer audiences, whether or not author intended it that way or accidentally borrowed queer-coded tropes (Black Sails’s Jack Rackham, Michel for the original run of Gilmore Girls, Jamie Tartt, Jaime Lannister, Dean Winchester, Susie Myerson (LISTEN, I’M ON SEASON 2 SO JUST ROLL WITH IT)

Why Does He Describe Men That Way (Jon Snow talking about how pretty Satin is while literally in the middle of battle)

Character is gay only through intentional queer-baiting (i don’t have the balls to fill this one in, but you’re definitely thinking of one)

*Note: these levels aren’t perfect. Some characters fit into multiple categories, depending on your interpretation or what point in the story arc something happened. Stiles Stilinski could belong in at least 3 of these categories.

There’s also the people who are imperfectly queer. Willow Rosenberg calls herself a lesbian, but had meaningful romantic relationships with men and possibly would have been bisexual in a show written more recently.

Saiki K, Lorelei Gilmore, and Clare Devlin are my dream blunt rotation
