#a kingdom of stars and shadow

[books-and-strawberry-tea]

Inspired by this time of year, decided to make myself a book wrapped/recap of the year.

Since there’s still time left for December, I’ll just add the numbers later on the page behind. But as of right now, this is roughly all my stats for book reading this year. Should I have waited? Probably. But I have Christmas shifts coming up and we all know how crazy that is (people who’ve worked retail anyway). So I’ll just add whatever I read between now and New Years later.

Currently going through The Pale Dreamer to see if I wanna read The Bone Season. Anyone read this series?

Synopsis: "Not better than me."

Minors DNI below the cut

Your hand quivered as you shoved the vibrator into your puffy folds, over and over again.

Your mind was delirious from how long this had been going on- that is to say... pleasuring yourself as he watched.

"Does that feel nice?" He asked with those half lidded eyes, running a finger along the insides of your thigh.

You let out a broken sob as a response, a small tear pricking the corner of your eye.

He let out an amused chuckle. "Yeah, I'll bet.." He placed a hand on the vibrator and pushed it further into your aching pussy.

"But not better than me."

🌟New star: part two.🌟

The darkness was engulfing me more and more. I felt my body melting. I'm becoming one of the stars. Soon it won't hurt and this terrible feeling will disappear.

I will be free.

...

That strangely familiar voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

What kind of cookies are these?..

Why does he look.. familiar to me?..

I forgot to post the second part--

[books-and-strawberry-tea]

Oh god here we go…

Okay so…I picked A Kingdom of Blood and Betrayal. I loved the first book. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but I enjoyed the drama and suspense.

The second book tho…I remember why I put it down. And at first I thought maybe it was cause I had a long break. But after searching goodreads reviews turns out I wasn’t alone in my feelings.

No plot, only smut, FMC is frustrating and very all over the place going back and forth with her emotions. THE ENTIRE BOOK! I’m at 56% and I just….I’m bored.

After research, apparently nothing plot related happens to the last 3 pages. I’m sorry what?? How?? How can you right a book where nothing happens till the end??

After researching the 3rd book, I’m definitely not continuing this series. Apparently it’s even worse. So goodbye Adara and whatever MMC’s name is. The beginning of your story was fun but I’m definitely leaving you guys to your over saturated smut/no plot universe.

(ALSO!!! I feel lied to. Vampires??? Where??? Honestly where???)

You might have already seen this image, but I wanted to post it outside of the intro LOL

Full banner for the blog because Tumblr's layout lately has been cringe.

INBOXES GET CLEARED?! HUH?! -

How would the dragons and/or the beasts react to a S/O who fell down the stairs, gets a really bruised leg, and acts like nothing happened? (I fell down my stairs a few days ago lol-)

And I said as well "if you don't wanna do them all, my preferences are pitaya, ananas, shadow milk, and burning spice!"

-⚡ anon!!

It takes a hot minute for it to register in their mind that you fell.. down the stairs. The stairs bruised you.

Next thing you know, you no longer have stairs. They have been burnt. Your dragon shall be taking you up and downstairs now.

They do tease you about it, but there's also some worry. You're.. really fragile. Super fragile. .. they don't like that.

Once again, you do not have a staircase. Good job!

At this point, he probably just carries you around everywhere himself. He's not letting you get bruised anymore than you already are.

There is no fighting him on this. Just accept your fate.

They are trying so hard to understand how this happens. How do you bruise so easily. What.

They don't get rid of the stairs, but some glares are thrown it's way.

You get lectured a bit on needing to be more careful. Nothing new.

Good luck EVER walking again. He doesn't even let you think of putting your feet on the ground.

Stairs do not exist. Do not even think about it.

Wraps you up in strings in case you ever truly have to go down the ground. It's like a child bring wrapped in bubble wrap.

IM SCAREEDDD

[stealingpotatoes]

Speaking of SW & Grishaverse, I think that Padme and Genya would definitely get along well and form a stable relationship/bond.

Anakin and Zoya are 100% frenemys w/rivals-vibes, their interactions would be funny as hell bc of the aggression and banter and stubbornness.

Also, my weird OTP (friends kind of way) is Inej and Ahsoka (especially teenage Ahsoka). Like I cannot explain it, but I feel that they would be great friends (maybe w/ some trauma bonding in the mix).

But what would be also pure comedy is the meeting of Pirates (privateers): Hondo & Nikolai. There is absolutely nothing other than their (kind of) job that unites them, and their vastly different personalities would just ignite. Again, so much potential.

all of these are genuinely perfect but i HAD to take the opportunity to draw my childhood fave with my teenhood fave <3

the kind and joyful friends
