How could i feel like robbed 3 times about ship ? (one is absolutly a perpetual state for the last 10 years ( yes it's zutara )) and 2 of them are in the span of one month ? Like i watched arcane and felt so robbed of timebomb , because we never saw a any of it between jinx and ekko, only alt powder and ekko, a romance i couldn't care less about ? And then i finished watching buffy and what is that ending with spike ?

OMG give me a good ennemis to lover where they are together, happy and alive ? Like why can't i have that ?

Me normally: Let people love what they love

Me, after a Test Match Special commentator expresses their belief that the new All Creatures Great and Small is somehow "better" than the 1978 version: This is pure insanity and TMS can no longer be trusted on anything, how can they even be trusted to know about cricket, do they have no TASTE

what should I read after I’m done with the Percy Jackson universe?

I’m taking recommendations for what book series to read next.

I like Nevermoor, Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson universe, what should I read next? I was thinking maybe the hunger games or miss peregrines home for peculiar children, but I’d like some more options. Please leave some recommendations ( preferably fantasy series )

[sammoose22]

Anyone have any fantasy book recommendations? I have read and loved ACOTAR a whole lot but now I’m setting all the books to that standard and they just don’t meet expectations anymore.

I just love the plot and the romance of ACOTAR, just love that it doesn’t focus on just one or the other.

So any good recommendations?

Pride Month list part 2: book edition

I read a lot (and I mean a lot) of queer books, especially during my YA phase ages 15-17, but here are a few that have particularly stood out to me, and why you should read them:

Maurice by E.M. Forster (published posthumously in 1971): everything you'd want from an early 20th century romance, except it's gay, and arguably the best piece of 20th century queer literature

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (2019): absolutely heartwrenching, will have you gasping for air in between sobs, and it's written by a poet so you KNOW the prose is amazing

Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart (2022): set in 1990s Glasgow, will absolutely rip your heart out and tear it to shreds

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo (2021): 1950s lesbian coming of age during the red scare, need I say more?

Don't Cry for Me by Daniel Black (2022): written in the form of letters, from a Black father to his gay son

Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski (2020): for some reason, no one seems to have read this, and they absolutely should have. will, once again, leave you in sobs (I am beginning to suspect I might cry easily)

My Government Means to Kill Me by Rasheed Newson (2022): another underhyped one, about race and sexuality during the AIDS crisis

Un Garçon d'Italie by Philippe Besson (2003): one of the narrators is literally a rotting corpse, that should be intriguing enough

A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood (1964), Confusion by Stefan Zweig (1927), Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown (1973) and Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin (1956) because, if you're like me, you're desparate to find queer literature from before the 1990s

Angels in America by Tony Kushner (1993), much quicker to read than to watch though, unfortunately, you do not have Andrew Garfield as Prior Walter in the written version

Ace of Spades by Faridah Abiké-Iyimidé (2021) starts with a quote from Get Out and that tells you everything you need to know

Ziggy, Stardust and Me by James Brandon (2019) is surprisingly rich for YA, exploring homosexuality in the 1970s, conversion therapy and Native American identity

Crush by Richard Siken (2005) if you're more into poetry, particularly the kind that will bring you physical and emotional pain

Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel (1986) because you can't not read Alison Bechdel

The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun (2021), The Feeling of Falling in Love by Mason Deaver (2022), and She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen (2021) are the perfect romcoms if you want to switch your brain off for a few hours (or emotionally recover from half of the other books on this list)

Is my blog the kind of place where posting about cannibalism and specifically what the breasts of men taste like is appreciated? No clue, but it's an interesting passage so I'm putting it here anyways
