Personally very fond of all the RWBY stuff this individual has been cooking up on Twitter. Specifically, their version of Adam in their AU exudes so much aura. Thought I should share!

The gold ornaments in the hair is a really good look. They've also got some really sick art of Ruby that's worth checking out!

no one asked for this buuuuuuut about 6 months ago I posted book recommendations and now it's almost the end of the year! So here are my favorite things I read in the back half of 2022:

My Lady Jane: this is just a good time. Anachronistic as shit, people turning into animals but like. Not in a furries kind of way? Anyways it's about Lady Jane Grey and the battle for succession of the English throne between Henry the VIII's children (and the 9 days queen herself!) Solid 8/10. I had fun. The pacing was a little weird at the end though so a few points off.

Murder on the Orient Express: Now I understand why people are whackadoodle about Agatha Christie! Truly she was that bitch! I loved the ending. Despite my best efforts I was NOT able to put the pieces together and figure out whodunit, so my jaw was on the floor by the end. I have not thought about it a single time since finishing though so only a 9/10.

Private Arrangements: this is smut about divorced(ish) people. It is not trying to be anything more than that, and I respect that. 7/10

The World Cannot Give: Sapphic(ish) cult(ish) dark(ish) academia book. It committed really hard to portraying how toxic and self-obsessed a very specific subgroup of high school friend groups can be. Like, specifically the very elite, talented, top of their class and KNOWS they're better than everyone else group. I couldn't put this book down while I was reading it, but I've never been able to make up my mind about whether or not I liked the ending. 7/10

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires: Very fun. But also in terms of social issues... I think it's trying its best? But it's a bit white savior-y, and it plays into some stereotypes that I wish it didn't. Those weren't major factors of the book if I remember correctly, but they were factors nonetheless. So, not for everybody. 6.5/10

Heaven Official's Blessing: tens across the board. I waited forever to read this book because it's so fucking long, but it was definitely worth the read. It is my least favorite MXTX book but I do think it is the best written one. I just like toxicity and the main couple is not toxic at all so it wasn't meeting my needs in that regard. Qi Rong is my... well, not my little meow meow. He's like, a sewer rat that I took home to raise and love. He will someday give me rabies and I will die. Anyway, long-winded rant over, this book is a 10/10 (I read the whole book but it's being released in volumes so only volume 1 is pictured here)

Honorable mention:

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue: I still have about an hour left on the audiobook so it still has time to disappoint me, but thus far I really like this book! ?/10
