Does anyone have any book recommendations for my Alevel coursework. I was thinking about doing 'crime and punishment' or 'Iron widow' but I have no clue what to compare either of them with.

Neurodivergent podcast-fan culture is being able to wax poetic for hours about the most miniscule of details in any given episode of The Magnus Archives, whilst also having to rely on transcripts to tell me what the sounds i'm hearing in The Magnus Protocol are actually supposed to be and then retrospectively working out what the fuck just happened on my 2nd or 3rd listen

T. S. Eliot, from The Complete Works of T. S. Eliot; "The Confidential Clerk,"

“When toxic behavior is portrayed as romantic, it’s problematic. When problematic behavior is portrayed as a character flaw for a character to work through, it’s good storytelling.”

Katsuki Bakugou, my friends.

His behavior was problematic but never once portrayed as romantic at the same time. Katsuki said and did awful abusive things, and he also chose to be better when he was given the chance. If you’re still hung up on chapter 1 Katsuki now then I don’t think you’ve been reading the same story I have.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’m not shipping Izuku with an irredeemable abuser. I’m shipping him with his most important person. His narrative foil. His childhood friend who made awful mistakes and then made it right when he saw he was wrong. The person Izuku looks up to and strives to emulate, despite their past struggles.

Bakudeku is so good because of how flawed these boys are, and how hard they’ve worked to get over it, and how much they matter to each other after it all

i need to fucking die thinking about mockingjay everlark before peeta was rescued . he is literally being tortured and hijacked out of his mind and still he manages to get one warning out to katniss, to save her as he's always done. and then u have katniss who's every other thought and spoken word is to ask about peeta. everyone in district 13 thinks of him as a traitor and she is begging for someone to save him because she knows he's forced, or worse

My english teacher cannot escape my queer readings of Othello. No matter how much she goes "...yeeeeeah" or changes the subject, the homoerotic nature of male obsession and toxic masculinity will prevail

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to study English literature A-level in an all girls sixth form with a young teacher then just know that once (and this is a few years ago now) my teacher played the “If the men find out we can shapeshift they’re going to tell the Church!!” video and then asked us what about the video we could apply to studying The Handmaid’s Tale

Mao! I finally went down the rabbit hole that is omegaverse. Do you have any recommendations that you can steer me towards?

HI ANON WELCOME TO THE OMEGAVERSE GENRE !!! 🫶 I absolutely do have recs 😎

here is a short danmei a/b/o rec list. I know this is a danmei blog but like these fics MADE MEEEE into the omegaverse writer that I am today so I would be remiss if I didn't mention these.

@/prettyboykatsuki's bachira fic is SOOOOO good I truly enjoyed it so much like. I cannot explain my love for it and I highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for xreader queer-coded non-traditional a/b/o !!!

@/lorelune hosted an omegaverse collab with an INSANE roster of writers, I would definitely look through the masterlist. lore themself is also in the process of writing an amazing jingyuan fic (also amazing if you're looking for xreader queer-coded non-traditional a/b/o)

I hope there's something in that list that you enjoy !!! 🫶 thank you for the ask!

my level

* all i ask— that you meet me on my level

Kim, Yeezy, Beyonce, baby Blue, Jay-Z Taylor, Nicki - how do they impact our lives, really?

now Glasper, H.E.R., Kendrick, musically - we might could start a convo 'bout them... *

but really, let’s bump the famous & infamous,

deal with ourselves, un-famous & free as long as we want to be

let’s talk of spiritual wealth, of bread & butter, & not hurting one another *

let’s talk Middle East peace Selma to Ferguson, the police; justice for all, abroad & right here, vis-a-vis; *

that squeal in the car’s wheel, city’s budget woes;

how kids today don’t know about Quik or Bosco - oh noes!

too few hot spots for Black thought southside of Chicago; vacation fantasies, St Tropez or Key Largo? * high health insurance, underwater homeowners’ credit;

hiring for jobs, hating DEI, promotions not on merit... & some employers still don’t get it. * how literary angst relates to migraines or stomach pain;

how ‘she’ just got on your last nerve again—  you know, her - that ‘Ms.Thang’. *

meeting on our level; we can talk, jive java, stay woke, smoke, toke (poke – i joke.)

...call me. * 3/15 - 1/25 ( feblog ) - lebuc - my level Call Me · Me'shell Ndegeocello
