The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson

Omegaverse has gone mainstream, babes! In so many ways, this is a normal contemporary romcom (but in a good way). They're both doctors; he's grumpy, she's sunshiney; they both have semi-ludicrous reasons for needing a fake partner. But while she needs a fake boyfriend to ward off her grandmother's nagging, he needs a fake mate to dispel the notion that he can't be trusted because he's been outed as an ALPHA. And oops, she's an omega. There's knotting. There's animalistic urges taking over logic (my GOD is there ever, and it is amazing). There is slick (and boy is he into it). And also, there is sex at work on the couch. I had a fabulous time with this one.

When a Duke Loves a Woman by Lorraine Heath

I'm not necessarily a big fan of "tomboy" romances, typically. But this one is so sweet, and honestly largely a character piece (there isn't a ton of Big Plot). A lower-class tavern owner who's barely acknowledged her femininity--not due to gender, but due to pressure and fear of "sin"--meets a duke who frankly is good at nothing besides sex. It's rare that a flop hero really, really works for me, and here he does. Because he's a flop, but he's her flop. A heroine-first book that's all about allowing vulnerability and tenderness into your life.

The Scoundrel in Her Bed by Lorraine Heath

As I say always, I am a sucker for second chance romances, and I just devoured this one within the space of like... 48 hours during the work week. The heady young love Lavinia and Finn feel (they gave each other their flowers!!!) is so real, but what makes it even better is the fact that they both change deeply during their eight years apart, and have to fall in love as the people they are now. That is INTENSE. There's a lot of heartache, a lot of acceptance, and a lot of hard decisions. It's not easy for these two to find their way back to each other, but it's absolutely worth the journey. And reader: I cried. Not just one tear, either. Hot, borderline painful, "streaking down my face" tears. It was a lot.

Mafia Virgin by Mila Finelli

I've yet to experience mafia books I've loved quite as much as Mila's--she just captures a level of camp and heat and actual genuine emotion that I don't think a lot of people can. Mafia Virgin was arguably the gentlest book in the series--if you love a good "killer who is secretly a softie/nerdy girl" pairing, this is it. If you like a breeding kink book (as I do) this is also... it. (The amount of times he takes a picture of her pussy right after coming inside her... chef's kiss.) It's fun, it has great cameos from previous leads, it's extremely sexy, and ultimately? It has a heart. Love it.

As I said I would, I drew my oc with yours my beloved @clawdouobit

My pretty girl likes to infodump your pretty girl about the smallest things. She's like a reel, talks a lot but most of it is meaningless.

Close ups and more info because I can't shut up ehtier under the cut <3

20 years old and engaged to a half-foot. They're waiting to gain some more money to get married and leave the dungeon. Note: they're best friends but idk if what they have going on is truly romantic love or just a very good friendship.

Quite skilled at upper levels, but wouldn't go to lesser levels. She isn't skilled enough to make her party survive there.

Her race is a mix between gnome and half-foot. Idk if that's possible but I don't think it's not.

If I had to guess, she's 13/14 on half-foot standars. It's unclear whether she's an adult or not, but she's preety mature most of the time. Most.

Flushed cheeks always. Also very pale.

She's 109 cms tall, a lot more than avarage on haflings, but lot less than avarage on gnomes. Since she hangs out mostly with haflings, she's a giant woman. This gives her some problems with traps so her BMI is 18 due to diet.

Fwens with Shahad. Who knows why tho. We gotta figure that out ;}

I think if I do have adhd it's funny that spending so much time on tumblr where shitty executive dysfunction is the norm has convinced me that everyone is just like this so of course I struggle so badly rather than the "ur self diagnosing from the internet!" effect everyone thinks it has.

ohh the joy of videos and streams... i like listening to people talk about things they like/think about it’s very contagious... 🥺

[eye-of-yelough]

fun thing about developing my rook while the game isn’t even out yet so i don’t know what kinda Situations he’s gonna be in is the fact it’s making me ‘develop’ him as just like. a run of the mill da/bg3 companion and the kind of things he would say. the greeting lines that depend on approval, the things you’d be able to ask him, etc…

[katyspersonal]

I am really mad at how deep are betrayal wounds specifically. Just been angry at A again. Granted it is the only one of the three (four?) that made it their fandom mission to harm me for whom I still haven't made up a funny nickname, because it just cuts TOO far. Like stalking and harrassment are a joke compared with that shit.

Though she IS a meme template at this rate. Not only straight up saying "it's ok I'll pray for you to heal from what I did to you uwu" and "yeah I know I threw you to the wolves after having fed you lies about not blaming you but YOU are the bad one here for vagueblogging about me :/", but also "the way you blew up at me after I defended your stalker proves that you are a health hazard to depressed people with low self-esteem and never changed from your past broken state from years ago". Like I can't even get started on how straight up vile it is. She also had three chances given to fix the damage, only on third try there was at least some semblance of closure, and she blew it up by deciding to snoop on me after her mutual was an immature petulant asshole to me for no reason (obviously she was looking for vagueblogs).

I also still never understand why the fuck she is always so fake? Apparently at my first post past her mad stunt she was mad at me, but in her DMs she tried to twist it like feeling bad about that? And it took a confrontation months later to get the truth out of her, why? Also she could not take the L of being proven wrong about my stalker's innocence to the point she tried to lie to my friend that she "always knew actually" and that defending that person was "just a test" (I wish I made this shit up!!!). Like will she actually explode if she has to face having flaws, mistakes and negative feelings? This is what happens when you do not understand your own religion and think that you'll go to Hell for simply being a human, I guess. As someone coming from near-theocratic country: do not get into a religion JUST because it is a "patriotic" thing to do in your case! You need to GET it first! (Though what I am talking about regarding a person that wholeheartedly approved of 'casting the stones' mentality despite making being a devout Christian her trademark 🤦‍♂️)

The good part is that it's been months since the last time I felt angry and upset about that situation. If the time periods between these increase, it means this wound can heal, it just takes a very long time
