Random bits of Lorien Legacies fandom history I remember:

- Everyone thinking Five was going to be a girl before The Fall of Five came out and people living their truth writing all those self inserts and oc girl fives who always ended up smooching Nine (who didn't love a good self insert?)

- all those anti Five memes after TFOF which were like "i am number four fans counting to ten 1 2 3 4 not you 6 7 8 9 10"

- that facebook game about mark james that may or may not have been a fever dream

- everyone calling setrakus ra mousetraps for some reason. I don't remember why.

- the fandom making Eight's sole character trait pizza because he referenced it one time. Also whitewashing him with Robert Sheehan edits.

- that time I was really into crack ships and someone took one look at a Nine/Marina fic I wrote bluescreened and did a whole essay on how ridiculous ships made them quit the fandom and everyone called them out on it

- Sam/Six ship being named Stormchaser

- When John/Six/Sam love triangle was going on and everyone went out of their way to hate on Sarah (and also that time everyone thought she was a traitor?? I forgot how that worked out my brain is telling me Setrakus shapeshifted into her but i haven't read it for ages so idk)

- the iconic fic I read once where the fic author didn't like Sarah so they included a scene where her head exploded and she was secretly a robot the whole time to get her out of the picture go bold or go home

- the time everyone started liking Sarah and making critiques of John's character and the series shitty writing #SarahHartDeservedBetter

- the time @officialpittacuslore rocked up, pointed at John and Nine and said "yes, I'll have some more of whatever those two have going on", dug a pit, labelled it 'Stohn' and everyone jumped in overnight (gay alien pit throwback uwu)

- astohnymous sending everyone in the fandom incorrect quotes on anon

- Six/Marina rising in popularity. Sirina supremacy. There is no heterosexual explanation for dreaming about seeing a girl on the beach that's soulmate energy right there.

- sandor/devektra/crayton/lexa fics and edits were a big thing for a while and devektra was always taylor swift

- the period before the revenge of seven was released where there was a countdown centred around celebration of fan content creation where everyone wrote fics and did art and edits for a certain theme!

- the time I got so annoyed by this random guy named Devdan just disappearing and never being mentioned again I made a whole detailed theory involving alternate timelines to make it so Devdan is Eight from a bad!future. I still think this is a cool theory and better than the actual explanation, bad and lazy writing.

- one time I ran a secret santa for the fandom and legend says I still haven't removed the page from my blog because I just forgot to for years. Literally. It's still on my blog. Wth?? Shameful 😔 my blog is terrible but what do you expect i dont get paid

- the shittacuslore and setracrapra RP blogs

- also I have a Malcolm roleplay sideblog I hardly ever used don't know if that counts as a significant moment of fandom history but I just find it funny how out of all characters I could have RPd I chose him. Could have picked a character with cool powers and telekinesis but I pointed at the local traumatised amnesia dad and was like "yes, I will be him", made 3 posts and never used it again.

- I've been an Adam stan since I first joined this fandom and the first thing I contributed to this fandom was a coloured pencil drawing of One wjth a surfboard, and it's been glorious watching Adam rise from 'character people are vaguely aware of but most haven't read the side-stories so they don't know about him to care enough' to 'fan favourite who deserves everything in the world and also look at him he's depressed and queer' (no I am not projecting ok maybe i am but can you blame me) anyway shoutout to Knave for all the Adam content over the years it feeds me

- The time people were coming up with shipnames for fun and I said Kevy for Kelly/Five and everyone rolled with it but it was actually a typo the whole time and doesn't even make sense when you look at it but it was too late to go back no i don't remember why we were discussing shipping kelly/five

- That solid week and a half everyone aggressively shipped Malcolm and Henri

- when legacies reborn came out and there was a resurgence of energy and theories around all the new characters

Anyway I joined the tumblr fandom ~2013 but I've been in this fandom since 2011, before The Rise of Nine was even released. Also what the actual bleeping heck it is 2021 and 2011 was TEN YEARS AGO?? A WHOLE DECADE????? Help

[knaveofmogadore]

Dudeeeeeeeee i followed you years ago bc of my lorien legacies phase and recently started rereading the series and came back to stalk your page for new content and saw your bio no longer said 18 and was reminded time is a thing??? Wild. Hope you're well!!

My LL stuff is over at @adamussutekh now !

The Lorien Legacies

“Discovery is born of desperation.” -Pitticus Lore, United as One

This YA fantasy series by Pitticus Lore (a collective pseudonym for James Frey, Jobie Hughes, and formerly Greg Boose) has been on my list for so long, and what with not being allowed out of my house in the middle of a pandemic, I finally got to reading it. It’s about a group of aliens with extraordinary abilities called Legacies that were brought to Earth from a dying planet when they were very small. They can only be killed in order of their numbers, and with another civilization of warriors called Mogadorians out to destroy them, this comes in handy for those down the line. The story starts with John, number four. Everyone before him has been killed, and his life is next. I was a little skeptical at first, but as I read more I found I couldn’t stop. There are seven books, a spin-off series, and several short stories. I only read the main books; “I Am Number Four”, “The Power of Six”, “The Rise of Nine”, “The Fall of Five”, “The Revenge of Seven”, “The Fate of Ten”, and “United as One”. Let’s dig in.

(There will be no spoilers for the series)

What I didn’t like:

The beginning of the series.

-It started off slow at first. I really didn’t think I was going to like it, and I almost stopped after the first book. I didn’t see where it was going, and it didn’t have enough depth for me. 

-The writing seemed a little amateur. It wasn’t very eloquent and it was mostly telling, not showing. There wasn’t a whole lot left for the reader to figure out, and it just seemed a little childish and cliche to me. This gets better through the books.

-At the beginning it was just . . . flat. There wasn’t too much depth to the characters and not much to figure out and it didn’t seem very developed. But again, this all changes later in the series.

What I did like:

The end of the series.

-The characters and their arcs. Especially toward the end of the series, we start to see some serious changes in the characters. They become more developed and three-dimensional and make choices unique to them. Choices that fit their character based on things that have happened to them. In the last book, there’s one of the best examples of grief and trauma and character development I’ve seen in a while

-The ending. There’s an expression that says when writing a book, write the ending you need to read. That said, I really enjoyed the ending. I think the characters were treated appropriately, it was (mostly) realistic, and it was the kind of ending I needed.

-The books grow. Exponentially. The first book compared to the last one is insane. They grow with the reader in content, becoming more suited for older readers the farther into the series you go (I mean it gets a little dark, it swears a lot more. Nothing too big). I love stories that do this because it allows the reader to grow with the book. Not only does the series grow in content, but it also grows in skill. The writing is more fluent, the dialogue is better, the books get more complicated, and the series overall seems less amateur. The characters and plot also grow. We get some back story and some depth and more development.

-The world. It was obvious a huge amount of work went into world-building. Everything was consistent and without (at least that I noticed) big plot holes. More of the world is revealed in later books, and there’s so much depth and understanding put into the world-building.

Overall:

I really ended up loving this series. The last two books were by far my favorite, and I couldn’t stop reading them. I would definitely recommend reading, but the first few books will be a little grueling. It’s one of the few series that I can confidently say get better the more books you read, not worse. It will leave you with a world missing in your life and a healthy dose of emotional trauma, as all the best books do.

Books read in 2017

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

Since Christmas is already here and 2017 is nearing an end, here is a list of books/ novels that I read in 2017! (not including books that I have read before in previous years and re-read this year)

1. Lady Midnight

The first book in “The Dark Artifices” series, the sequel to The Mortal Instruments series. It takes place in 2012, five years after the events of that series’s final book, City of Heavenly Fire. It’s another series set in the shadowhunter universe, created by one of my favourite authors, Cassandra Clare! (Follow her on Twitter! She’s really nice!) Here is also her website.

This book’s plot revolves around the shadowhunters of the Los Angeles Institute, especially Emma Carstairs, who now lives in the Los Angeles Institute with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn and his siblings after her parents died during the Dark War.

There is also a story at the back of the book, called “A Long Conversation” with The Mortal Instruments characters!

(sorry I love #clace so much + i prefer the movie “The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones” to the tv show “Shadowhunters”)

2. Lord Of Shadows

The second novel in “The Dark Artifices”! The plot takes off where “Lady Midnight” left off, and Emma Carstairs has finally avenged the murder of her parents.

(The third and last novel, “Queen Of Air And Darkness” will be published on December 4, 2018!)

3. A Court Of Thorns And Roses

I finally finished the three-book series, featuring the main character, Feyre Archeron, who was previously a Mortal, a huntress. Eventually, she was resurrected as a High Fae by the seven High Lords after her death Under the Mountain. Now, she is the High Lady of the Night Court and the first ever High Lady of Prythian.

4. The Becoming Of Noah Shaw

A book by another one of my favourite authors! This book is in the perspective of Noah Shaw, Mara Dyer’s boyfriend. It is also the first book to “The Shaw Confessions” trilogy which entirely based on Noah Shaw, who is able to heal people and interpret their auras. Noah can sense someone’s pulse, blood pressure, or anything like that. He can sense if anything is wrong with a body and heal it. This book shows the world how Noah interprets it and shows how his feelings slowly develop for Mara.

5. Generation One

I read “I Am Number Four” when I was 8 and I loved it. Ever since then, I read every new addition to the “Lorien Legacies” series ever since. When I heard that there would be a new series about the next generation, I knew I needed the book, so here it is! “Generation One” is the first book of the new “Lorien Legacies Reborn” series! It is a sequel and spinoff to United As One, the seventh and final book of the “I Am Number Four” series.

6. Carve The Mark

By reknown author, Veronica Roth, is “Carve The Mark”, the duology follows Akos and Cyra, young people from opposing cultures whose fates are intertwined.

6. An Ember In The Ashes

(No picture due to the 10 image limit 😢)

In a fantasy world inspired by Ancient Rome, the story follows a girl named Laia spying for rebels against the reigning empire in exchange for their help in rescuing her captive brother; and a boy named Elias struggling to free himself from being an enforcer of a tyrannical regime. The novel is narrated in the first-person, alternating between the points of view of Laia and Elias.

7. Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry

(No picture due to the 10 image limit 😢)

I read this book for my Language Arts class, I don’t really know why I included this book in the list though. It’s not bad but not exactly my cup of tea.

—

This marks the end of my list! I didn’t read as many books as I usually do this year due to school but hope you guys enjoyed this list! And once again, Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️
