#amazing reads that are not popular

[a-pigeons-soliloquy]

been reading non-hannibal fanfic for the first time in like 2 years and have come to the tragic realisation that the hannibal fandom has ruined me when it comes to fic quality

like my standards are so ridiculously high now. the bar is on the moon

you've all ruined me. RUINED ME I SAY

[tinynerdycthulu]

people are like "sy is so oblivious, how can he not realize liu qingge is in love with him" but when i first read svsss i was woefully unaware of the sy wifebeam. yall i was reading the scene where lbh is like "shizun waits so dutifully for liu-shishu" and thinking "silly lbh, why is he so jealous? it's so funny how he thinks liu qingge is a serious threat when he only tolerates sqq because of his life debt" when lqg fought 5 years to get sqq's body i was like "wow this really showcases the dedication of cang qiong sect to its members lqg is such a tsundere he refuses to admit he actually cares about sqq as a friend" im so glad im not a 20something chinese twink bc i would be in DANGER

bonus horrendously incorrect take from me: i thought mobei-jun was gonna be the antagonist

ra’s is always written so poorly in any story where he considers tim as a successor or even finds him particularly valuable outside of batman.

man i wish i could mute notifications from specific posts here on tumblr. my dunmeshi fanarts are literally eating up my notifications tab and it's impossible to see if people have left nice notes on other posts, which was genuinely the best thing about this app. on top of that, since the anime is basically mainstream, it's also impossible to read notes from people who are insane about it and which i would want to read if i wasn't fed up.

I’ll never forget how once my ex joked I “live under a rock” and when I asked how he showed me a Snapchat reel of “hot celebrity gossip,” after which he pointed out I don’t keep up with any of it. I really dated that that’s so embarrassing

I've seen things after SOTUS extreme actor harassment, I've been here through BMF "hate watching flashmob" and you know what, this year I will actually stop tolerating BL fans (at least on tumblr) who don't even have the decency to just ignore things they don't like and who think bullying someone is a good fandom sport, and start calling out. No matter if you believe clickbaits or you're a proud member of celebrity witchhunt or just don't believe people and situations can change, whatever, I really don't want to see KristSingto hate if - when - they will come back with another BL series.

Peraya fans have been waiting and hoping for KristSingto reunion for years, they wanted it themselves for so long as well, and we've unfortunately encountered way too many people who don't use their braincells and who encourage others to follow their footsteps when making derogatory comments about (mainly) Krist or Singto who they don't even know about, or their shows. For years. Some even go to talk shit and laugh right at his face. What the hell.

Maybe don't ruin someone else's parade and don't turn a nice community lake into a swamp. If you consider yourself a good person who can have an opinion "I just don't vibe with this person/show", watch it unbiased, be open minded and if you don't have a full picture, ask fans of the actual story or do research and read proper compilations about him instead of blindly stacking your opinions on repeated echoed insults from yt and tiktok. And if you aren't willing to be open minded and rational, well, let the fans celebrate and stick quietly to your swamp.

It's really no fun to gather around to discuss something and slip on poop piles thrown around for no reason. What happened to civil discussions?

Okay my random rarepair is Percival/Lancelot. Simply because when Lancelot comes back there is NO EXPLANATION as to who Percival is, or where they met, or their relationship, or anything like that. And when he introduced him to Arthur he doesn't say anything about it either . Like no "this is Percival, we were prize fighters together. Thank got we never fought each other!" Or even just "this is my friend, Percival." Like one line of backstory! Anything! And it reminds of how sometimes when you're queer, and especially when you're queer and your relationship is a little.... ambiguous?....and you don't necessarily want to introduce your Person as your Lover or Boyfriend to someone who might be homophobic (and let's face it, Arthur's a rich white guy, Lancelot doesn't know he ISNT homophobic) but you don't want to say friend for fear or insulting them, and you just don't want to get into the intricacies or queer relationships in front of The Straights so you just say "this is X" and let people make their own conclusions.

And thus a ship was born.

great stuff anon, I love the way you think

kindle books amazon wants me to buy

The latest TikTok viral sensation about a female protagonist who starts out as enemies to lovers with an elf-centaur but by the end of the seven book series (two already available) she's going to fuck that elf-centaur at least once.

Feminist Reimaginings Of Some Greek Myth

Historical novel about a FORGOTTEN WOMAN OF HISTORY but then it's just Anne Boleyn again.

Part of some series by Cassandra Clare The Infamous Fandom Plagiarist

Dan Jones's latest thing about MANLY! MUSCULAR! KINGS! who have SWORDS! and THRONES! and who are VERY VERY MASC!

A monograph about the socio-religious significance of bread baked by left-handed women in 13th century France (tempting but priced at well over a hundred pounds).

The latest viral TikTok whatever but this time the OFC fucks a dragon. Probably called 'A Noun of Noun and Noun'

It's called 'Verity' and it looks like a crime novel of some kind and I doubt it has ever been on sale for more than 99p.

WOMAN MURDERED BY A STRANGER BUT THEN HER GHOST HAUNTS A SWEDISH DETECTIVE UNTIL HE SOLVES IT.

It's a historical novel but get this... it's also set in the modern day! Will the modern protagonist turn out to have something in common with the dead one? Stay tuned to find out!

Prev but with Anne Boleyn in it (again).

Someone has worked out who killed the Princes in the Tower! At last! Hurrah!

why don’t we (as a collective of authors) do more crossover fics? Like where is the chaos, the ignorance that comes with throwing two mfs in a fic that have no business together? we really gotta make writing fun again 😭

[themoonking]

it’s not actually that weird that people are saying “harry potter was never good, actually” after joanne went full mask off, and no it doesn’t mean that we all secretly think harry potter is amazing but don’t want to admit it. it’s pretty simple actually: most people read harry potter when they were children, when they hadn’t read a lot of other books and therefore didn’t have a lot to compare it to. then every time you reread it as an adult, you’re looking through pretty hefty nostalgia goggles. then, after you’ve realized that joanne is a violent bigot that wants you and / or people you love and care for dead, those goggles are broken and when you attempt to look at hp again you’re more likely to see it’s flaws. it’s not rocket science.

me knowing logically that immersion will provide more long term gains for language learning vs 5 new vocab flashcards and some grammar exercises go brrrrrrrrr

[zukkaoru]

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/

[longagoitwastuesday]

Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as Heathcliff and Cathy seems like out of The Onion

[spoonietimelordy]

TAD ask: is there is song that you know you don't fully understand? Where you're like "I know I'm missing something"?

For me it's That Unwanted Animal

[ezxthan]

Everyone seems to like Kanetsugu's route and it's so warming for my heart 😭 I remember when he was least popular among the new ikesen three and NOW LOOK HOW FAR HE'S COME

I feel like a proud mother 🫶

[zarophod]
