❥Chapter Index ❥

A small swath of fluffy snow swirled in eddies by Inya’s table. She watched some of the flakes melt as they landed on the part of the ground that transitioned from concrete to wood. The heated panels of the patio made up a majority of the outdoor seating around Uloma’s clinic. She was pretty sure the Jabari valued nature more than any other pack in the surrounding areas. Even the cold bite of impending winter temperatures didn’t deter them from wanting to sit outside for lunch.

Inya’s mind wasn’t really on food. She absently twirled the curled end of one of her braids and considered the unexpected sequence of events that brought her to sit out in thirty-degree weather. The intricately woven cornrows were a change from her previous box-braid style; an undeniable indicator that she’d experienced yet another heat.

She never thought she would be happy to repeat the experience, but there were extenuating circumstances that had her almost willing to pray for it to come.Namely, her heat had been late.

Style evolution from 2023 to 2025

Found some unloved sims from 2023 in my gallery and decided to give them a 2025 makeover - which mostly means eyebags, bigger noses and a jaw.

Jokes are such a dangerous thing when you have DID, cuz you make one off hand comment about “oh, wouldn’t it be funny if we got a fictive of that piano guy that sang It’s a Small World in that one episode of Golden Girls for 30 seconds,” and guess what happens next week

Do you bleed? aka The Rage of Dragons thoughts

Tau

my baby angel boi

my sad angry boi (mostly angry)

my dedicated boi

and the friends we made along the way

and the bloodshed

The audiobook narrator is GOATED; he can simultaneously make a character sound coldblooded and make other characters sound so warm it's so GOOD 11/10 recommend

I finished this book in 2.5 days, that's WILD

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT BITCH

Ok so I think when it comes to characters, I connect with characters who have lost parents (not to beat the horse with a stick but I lost my mom to cancer in 2022 so I get REALLY emotional when characters lose their parents because I can summon that grief in a moment and recall that feeling of her being gone)

So when Tau's dad is brutally killed and Tau holds him in his arms and vows revenge on everyone involved I'm like

go off king, i support you 10,000,000,000,000,001%

But him also being claustrophobic? relatable

I also really loved how devoted he was. I'm someone who's all in or not at all and his obsessive devotion to becoming a weapon was so overwhelming and relatable.

DUAL WEILD BITCH shink shink shink shink shink

(Im always dual wielding daggers in video games if I can so when he starts fighting with two blades i SCREAMMMMEDDD)

UDUAK

I loved him. For a character who doesn't talk a whole lot, I really found him to be a moving character. Why? I think I like protector/defender characters. AND the narrator made his voice so sweet and deep and warm. When he said "Well met, Tau Solarin" and it SOUNDED like he was smiling warmly and they embraced?

PFFFFFfff bitch my lower lip trembled

And at the end when Zuri was nuked off the world (jfc I didn't think she was going to die what a TWIST!!!! ESP AFTER SHE JACKED HIM OFF LIKE A DOMINATRIX IN THE TUB AND THEY FUCKED BRO!!!! I thought she would be like, his reason to live and fight when it got bad in later books but nope Mr. Winter said YEEET) Tau was wailing his grief and Uduak was holding him and shushing him and I was like OOF this right here is a great character. I love Uduak. He's my favorite side character along with Themba, a man with situational awareness on 100% and also -100%.

Jiyaad was cool but...*smiles but cries*

Kellen is fine because he doesn't REALLY want to kill and be a dick and I think I see MAYBE what the author is trying to do. Either he and Tau will be a characters that have grudging respect for each other and even eventually protect one another one day or they'll be like best friends.

I also have a weird tingly feeling about Kana, the hedeni warlord's (what was that guy's name...? Achak I think) son. He seemed intrigued by Tau the moment he met him so either that will be a great dynamic or Tau will be miserable more miserable.

It's on fucking sight with Abasi Odili like WTF bro. Peace was actually going to happen but because ThE OdEHi doN'T SuRRenDeR now we're gunna be at a war and our entire people wiped out, ok ok ok cool cool just so I understand properly

ALSOOOOOO the African inspired cultural aspect was so so GOOD. I've rarely seen it in the fantasy genre and it was AMAZING. The characters and the terminology and how they spoke was just

The concept of Isihogo is INSANE. It's like...a spiritual world...? But if you don't pull power from it, even if the demons rip you apart you're fine irl but you may become demon-haunted. Which Tau...kind of is but just like, ignores it despite being terrified. Because my man does not QUIT. He literally is like "I'm gunna go ahead and train in this realm because I need to be better than I am with my swords and time passes slower and it'll help me with feeling pain as I get torn to shreds and with fear as I face immortal demons" and I'm like

Why do I also have a feeling that one huge spiky one is like....a demon king or something...? Tau was like "lol I'm here now so you gunna kill me bro?" after he took in power so Zuri wouldn't be killed and the demon was like !!!!!!! before Tsiora came and expunged him out of the realm. And Spiky!Demon was like SCReeeeeeeeecCH

Ou ou ou ou the twin guardian blades he got at the end PERIODTTTTT Tau is Champion, beetch

I want the Nobles to be so irate about it like "WUT WE CANT LET A LOW COMMON BE A CHAMPION GROSS" and the Tau be like

"Yeah cool no worries whoever has a problem can challenge me in single combat and if i lose (lol) then I'll step down as Champion" and then everyone be like

Such a good book, I really really loved it.

I'm kinda glad (I know how bad this sounds) that Zuri died because she was a good character with a decent arc that went out knowing she was probably going to die and I want Tau to be like, borderline EVIL with his revenge

His character is so interesting because he's so single minded and now that his one beacon of light is gone, he's gunna be INSANNEEEEEEEE

*content sigh*

ok thats all I feel I think

M’Baku becoming king made no sense. From the first Black Panther movie, we know that the Jabari have basically been a separate country within Wakanda since its creation. They isolated themselves in the mountains and had a different diet, culture, and even a different religion (or at least a different primary god) than the rest of the country. And in a place as isolated as Wakanda, they were the closest thing to foreigner most people would have had a chance of interacting with.

By the time we get to M’Baku’s kingship in BP:WF, the country has had 2 kings and 1 queen die, a civil war, half their population disappeared and reappeared 5 years later, they fought off 2 Thanos-led alien invasions, and they fought a war against an underwater nation, all in the span of like 10 years max. After all of that, you would think that this would be a time for stability and a return of Bashenga’s line, but instead the guy who was basically the bogeyman a few years ago is king?????

Maybe Wakandans are just too intelligent to have xenophobia, but a change from 500 years of one family ruling to basically being ruled by a foreign king should have sparked another civil war
