Trina/Taby couldn't get developed scenes with her father Taggert/Real because of designated fave Curtis. Where are all the scenes of Trina and Taggert coming to terms with the news of the fake paternity switch? What about Taggert and pet Curtis' scenes? The writers literally erased Taggert hoping Curtis would prosper, and used Trina and Portia to do it. The Ashfords have no anchor without Taggert.
Next, Trina couldn’t get developed scenes with her own man Spencer/NAC because of designated fave Ezceme. After seeing all the attention and comparisons to Luke & Laura Sprina received, the writers shut sh*t down and spent the next months using NAC as a prop for Ecmse. The poor man is a Cassadine but couldn't have his own place. Even his death was used as a prop for the fave. The way the writers wrote Spencer's funeral and made a point of keeping the Ashfords and Cassaadines separate spoke volumes.
Third, Trina couldn't even get to mourn her man in peace because of ongoing designated fave Joss, who's supposed to be the second coming of her mama. She stomps around screaming and shouting and whining and sex!ng while Trina is there for support. The way Trina's pain and loss immediately pivoted to Joss' drama with her mob boyfriend spoke volumes.
Yeah, it's been pretty clear that the former writers resent that their faves are not the majority's faves and thus take it out on the audience via erasure. Here's hoping the new regime doesn't do that shit.

5,6,49 for the VTM ask meme! -meowkavian
I have like severall,,,, but yk what I’m gonna use this for my newest silly guy
5. Who is their sire?
— Florante’s sire is a man named Juan Salvador Bautista. He worked as a police officer, and Juan was his Chief.
6. What was their relationship to their sire? Were they close in any way or mere strangers?
— Florante and Juan were close, best buddies. Juan served as his best man at his wedding when he married Laura (his wife and Juan’s cousin)
49. Detail your OC’s backstory!
— Born in Manila, Philippines as “Jose Constantino Evangelista” (yes I’m always going all out with names if they’re Filipino sue me😔), Florante was a promising young man. He served the church due to his mother being in the choir and befriended a girl named Laura alongside her cousin, Juan. The three became best friends over the course of the years, doing whatever Filipino kids did—hang around in the slums, walk across highways for fun, making fun of politicians for their shit haircut, all that stuff! ^^
Eventually, Florante proposed to Laura, promising to keep her safe and fulfill all her wishes. He had a nickname for her “perla ng buhay ko” (pearl of my life), leading to them moving to Cebu where Laura was a teacher and Florante was a police officer. Laura eventually gave birth to two twin daughters <3
That happiness changed when someone from Laura’s past, barged in, and killed her while he was on duty. Florante’s life grew silent, and dark. He tried to move past it, past all the mourning, but no. Later, this man came in to finish the job and well, lucky for him, Florante was reborn with a new found thirst for revenge. He renamed himself as Florante, because Laura loved the book as it included her name and was one of her only possessions that he had left of her.
And this is definitely not because I watched the Crow before I made him for my chronicle nuh uh

2023 Book List
Another good reading year for the books! This year I embarked on my first experience with a book club which has been a life long desire of mine! I can confidently say that in participating in it, I've been pushed to be more consistent in my literary pursuits as well as broaden the genres of books I normally gravitate towards.
My goal this year was to read 40 books which I'm happy to report I have surpassed! Last year, I reached for an ambitious 50, in which I sadly fell short. Moving forward, 45 seems to be the sweet spot for my reading habits.
This year, I've decided to split my reviews into genres of books to cover more ground and give a more focused scope.
1: Biographies:
This year I read a wide range of people's stories from the hyped up "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jenette McCurdy to Spare by Prince Harry, to lesser known titles such as Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones and Invisible Boy by Harrison Mooney.
Notable reads for me were Untamed by Glennon Doyle, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jenette McCurdy, The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre for there strong writing, concise story, and depth of emotion.
2: Reese's Bookclub Picks
Anyone who knows me, is aware of my deep love of Reese's book club picks. She just never misses on the books she recommends and I've become an avid follower of her for this reason.
The ones I read this year are: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman, Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, and Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.
All of them were great.
3: General Modern Romance
Perhaps one of my favourite genres, I read a great many books in this category.
Honorable mentions for great characters and story are The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary, Beach Read by Emily Henry, Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez, A Wedding in Provence by Kate Fforde, The Wake Up Call by Beth O'Leary, and The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.
4: General Thriller
This is also a fun category for me and the ones that stood out this year for good twists were All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda, The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and Greenwich Park by Kathrine Faulkner.
5: General Fiction
One of my proudest accomplishments this year was reading Dune by Frank Hubert. Other standouts were Weyward by Emilia Hart and The Best Kind of People by Zoe Whittall. Both told captivating stories of nuanced people and circumstances.
As always, thanks for following along my reading journey.
You can follow along on Goodreads under the username: Laura Marazzi which can be found here: Laura Marazzi - Abbotsford, BC, Canada (378 books) | Goodreads
Happy reading!

23 Books I Want To Read in 2023
This post is based on this tag because after the disaster it was with me picking those books I hope I make better choices for this year. No one tagged me though.
1. The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard: As I mentioned before this one was recommended by friends that love it so hopefully I will like it as much. (DNF)
2. The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe: I heard interesting things about this one and the synopsis makes me really curious. I am sure it will at least be an interesting experience.
3. East of Eden by John Steinbeck: I don’t know a single person that did not really like this book and that makes me really curious. Even people that usually have different tastes from each other seem to agree on this one.
4. Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata: I only have this book left to read by this author (I think). It’s a short story collection but I hope it will be as impactful as her novels.
5. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro: I am really hoping this one doesn’t disappoint me. If I have time I would also like to read The Buried Giant.
6. Goodbye Tsugumi by Banana Yoshimoto: I want to try some books by this author this year and I hope I chose well. 
7. Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner: After loving I am Glad My Mom Died I want to try more memoirs and I heard good things about this one.
8.The Vanished Birds by Simon Jimenez: I’ve heard good things about this one so I am willing to try a space opera for once.
9. Wild Seed by Octavia E. Butler: I only have this series and the short stories left from this author. Please don’t disappoint me again, Butler.
10. Family Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo: I listened to 3 of her books this year and it was fantastic! I hope I can also listen to this one on audiobook because it’s written in poetry and narrated by the author so the performance is amazing.
11. Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao: I really liked Iron Widow so I am sure I will enjoy the sequel when it comes out this year. (publication moved to 2024)
12. Small Gods by Terry Pratchett: Hopefully I will be in the mood to read more Discworld novels this year and I own a physical copy of this book so this is the one I picked.
13. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng: Honestly I am just curious about this author’s works in general. I don’t even know what they are about, but apparently they’re really good.
14. In the Lives of Puppets by T.J. Klune: This book seems to be in the same line as the last two by the author and I enjoyed those. Plus, it has robots in nature and one is named HAP! Hopefully, it will be good. 
15. The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin: I just want to be done with this trilogy. I love the first book, but the second not so much. I heard the 3rd is better than the 2nd but not as good as the 1st. I was hoping to reread the first two before starting this one but I don’t think I will have time for that.
16. The Poetry of Robert Frost by Robert Frost: Hopefully an entire year is enough time for me to read all his poems.
17. The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper: I know someone that loves this series and the first book was alright, but the 2nd is her favourite so I want to give it a try.
18. The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison: Need to catch up even though I thought the previous book was just ok.
19. The Dutch House by Ann Patchett: I heard good things about this author and I hope I picked the right book to start with her works.
20. I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem by Maryse Condé: I heard only one person talk about this book, but that person has good taste so I bought it.
21. Emma by Jane Austen: I have a feeling that I might like this one more than Pride and Prejudice. If I read this one and Persuasion this year I am done with Austen works.
22. The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell: Another one I heard good things about. 
23. Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater: This seems like a fun and cozy book for whenever I am in the mood.
