Rules for new nominees (tardis wiki list referenced below)

Anyone on the list will automatically be accepted

TV companions MUST be on the list

EU companions not on the list will be considered on a case by case basis.

Born on this day 93 years ago: voluptuous mid-20th century actress and pin-up Anita Ekberg (29 September 1931 - 11 January 2015). In the fifties, the statuesque Swedish sex goddess reigned alongside peers Mamie Van Doren, Jayne Mansfield and Diana Dors as one Hollywood’s preeminent glamour queens. By the early sixties, Ekberg was triumphing in Europe, cavorting in the Trevi fountain beside Marcello Mastroianni in Federico Fellini’s visionary masterpiece La Dolce Vita (1960). Fellini and Ekberg memorably reunited for Boccaccio ’70 (1962). (He was definitely the director who knew best how to utilize her charms). But as a connoisseur of cinematic perversity, I love Ekberg at her gloriously wooden best in the serial killer shocker Screaming Mimi (1958) and later bargain basement Eurotrash horror movies Fangs of the Living Dead (1969) and Killer Nun (1979). Even in these indignities, as author Sam Staggs puts it, Ekberg “can steal any scene just by standing still.” In 1999 the BBC made a documentary about Ekberg, capturing her craggy temperamental monstre sacré later years. She relished trashing her contemporaries. (Asked about Sophia Loren: “Who is that?” On Brigitte Bardot: “she was pretty. You can’t say beautiful. She was – how you say? – very “Barbie.””). After gossip columnist extraordinaire Michael Musto experienced her diva’s wrath in 1999, he rechristened her “Anita Yecch-berg.” (From his 2007 book La Dolce Musto: “All I could hear was Ekberg yelling, “Why do they keep letting Sophia Loren into the country? She was in jail for a month for tax evasion!” Between courses, other arresting pronouncements came fast and furiously: “Frank Sinatra was not a good lover!”; “If there’s one thing I hate, it’s people chewing gum. It’s like cows out to pasture!”; and “Not being able to smoke in restaurants is against the Constitution!”). Still, you can’t help but love her – Anita Ekberg made the world a more glamorous place.

best kisses of all time iydm?? I think about the midnight library kiss in what I did for a duke at least once a week<3333

they are sensual enough i guess but nowadays I just don't see some good old, toe curling, actually romantic, a kiss for the sake of the kiss-kiss you know? the kind that racks a havoc in the very being of the mcs?? ahhh the good old days

Anyway thats the ask, thank you❤❤❤❤

For sure, yes! I will say, because I often say it... Lady Chatterley's Lover has one of the best onscreen kisses of all time.

Anyway:

Mafia Madman by Mila Finelli. I think of a kiss in this book a lot, because while these two have a lot of SEX, they don't have a lot of tender kissing or like, loooovemaking type sex. There's a scene where the hero has a panic attack, and the heroine helps him breathe through it, and they start having sex, and I think she calls him baby during or something (and it's also the first time they've had sex with her on top) and he like, grabs her and kisses her... it's so good.

Regarding the Duke by Grace Callaway. This is recent, but it's their first kiss in flashbacks, and he's all cold and calculating and trying to seduce her into marrying him for her connections, and she's sweet and gentle, and it's like... so good... When they kiss for the first time and it kinda goes out of control and he's like "SHIT".

Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas. There's a really passionate kiss around the line where Derek tells Sara that sometimes, he wants to punish her a little... And he's basically like "you need to stay the fuck away from me" but we all know he's falling in love with her, and he can't resist kissing her.

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. The kiss during the scene where Ilya is like "oh let's like chill and have an snack after sex", which turns into a handjob lol, but it's like the first time they really start getting EMOTIONALLY intimate (and the first time they switch out of using last names only), and you see the horror of FEELINGS happen.

American Queen by Sierra Simone. I really love the angsty ferris wheel first kiss between Embry and Greer because it does feel kind of doomed? Like, you're very "oh nooooo this is baaaad" because of the setup you've already seen and what you as the reader know that they don't know, but you're also reading so fast because the tension has been building and it all feels so fated.

And though it's not from their perspective, in the same book the mistletoe kiss between Ash and Embry is. SO. GOOD.

Lothaire by Kresley Cole. The kiss when Ellie is all "fuck you dude I'll make you yell to the rafters" (she does) and during they get really out of hand and start making out and he bites her lower lip and it starts bleeding... and as she withdraws he's like "she is going to lose her shit and run away", kind of WANTING that to happen because he's an asshole and is losing the upper hand... But she basically smiles at him through the blood and kisses him HARD. It's the entire relationship in a kiss.

When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath. The first kiss in this book is one of those "he has many emotions including jealousy and can't stand it so he grabs her and kisses her" moments... and he feels so bad about it... and she's so pissed at him... and it's incredible. Waking Up with the Duke also has an amazing first kiss, especially because after that Jayne demands that, though they'll be having sex, there CANNOT be any more kissing. Because the kissing is Too Much.

Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt. The masked kiss, which very much gives HARD Sam Raimi Spider-Man vibes.

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas. The kiss while their hands are still tied, obvi obvi lol. I also love the first kiss in Seduce Me at Sunrise so great, because Kev can't stop himself (common Kev skill issue) and it's so angsty and so passionate and Win just leaves the country right after because he won't just put it in her, basically.

Between the Devil and Desire by Lorraine Heath. Olivia goading Jack into kissing her by being like "and that's what I DON'T want you to do" because she knows he does the opposite of what she tells him to lol.

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe. The first kiss in the ocean when they're strangers and he tells her to pull his hair harder. It sets the tone in every way for the rest of the book.

for the 2024 writer recap thing! 8, 9, 11, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 30 :)

Jayne! Thanks for stopping by!

8. What fic meant the most to you to write? Answered here :)

9. What fic made you feel the happiest to work on? Answered here :)

11. What fic was the most difficult to write? in the latter days is the most ambitious fic I've ever taken on. 26 chapters (my previous record for multichaptered fics is *checks notes* 6), a canon-divergent AU steeped in worldbuilding, actual PLOT.....it's been really hard but I'm mostly happy with how it's turning out!

15. What was the hardest fic to title? Answered here :)

17. Share your favorite opening line She hears the key in the lock from the hallway and doesn’t reach for her wand. (from let me make it up to you)

18. Share your favorite ending line And at the end of the day, they were still Mr. and Mrs. Potter, and that was something no one could take away from them. (from to have and to hold and to fight like hell) *this one was tough, i almost picked something else that was a lot meaner.

20. Share your funniest line James is smiling, chatting with Remus with a beer in his hand, wearing a black shirt that just says LEG RESTS with two arrows pointing to his shoulders. Her eyes are so glued to him she nearly twists her ankle when she misses a step, grabbing onto Sam to keep her righted. (from Stupid T-Shirts, naturally. [shout out to Dorcas' 'Ask Me About My Lobotomy T-Shirt])

21. What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story? Lily and James were not supposed to kiss in chapter 4 of In Search of Something More but they disobeyed me. It hasn't changed the story as far as the plot, but it added some depth to the following chapters with a new level of miscommunication and misunderstanding.

23. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year? I think finally getting Prologue-Ch 10 of in the latter days written and sending them off to my pre-read team. It took about 7 months to get all of that written, and it was SO EXCITING to finally share a portion of that story with people and get their feedback before I started posting to ao3. I've never sat on anything that long and it nearly killed me.

30. What would you like to write next year? I am really hoping to finish my current WIPs, and I'd love to finally write my Lily-and-Petunia run a bakery fic, because I think I've finally nailed out the plot after 3 rewrites!

Thank you for all of these!

reunited, jake kiszka

an angst to fluff jake fic! not gonna lie i mightve cried.

warnings : fighting, kissing, children, sam being sam.

pairing : jake kiszka x fem reader

word count : 1.1k+

enjoy! feel free to reblog!

A couple weeks after you and Jake had ended things while he went on tour, you found out you were pregnant. You couldn't tell him as you knew he would drop everything to come back to you. So you hid it from him. You left the state and moved to Oregon, you dropped everything you ever knew in Nashville.

You only kept talking to Ronnie and Karen, they had kept you stable while you moved. Karen told you she supported your decision in not telling him, knowing you were right about what he would do. You couldn't let this destroy his career. 

In the process of moving, you had Ivy. A beautiful 7-pound baby girl. She looked just like Jake, with brown eyes and the same nose. You named her Ivy Jayne Kiszka, a name you and Jake both liked a lot. 

You had gotten a text from Karen, telling you they were going to be playing in the same city you lived in, giving you a heads up. 

You had to prepare yourself, just in case you saw him. You went out after you picked up Ivy from daycare. 

You went to Trader Joes to get something to make for dinner. You were looking at what meat they had to offer when you heard a voice.

“Y/N?” 

You turned at the call of your name and saw Sam, your favorite Kiszka. He walked towards you and you put the chicken you grabbed down to fully look at him. 

“I thought that was you.” He said.

He grabbed the back of your head and pulled you close to him. 

“You really fucking scared us all you know that right? The first thing he did when we got home was go to your apartment, he wanted to see you and you weren't there. We found out you left through our mother.” He said and scolded you. 

He looked at the cart and saw Ivy looking at you. “This is Ivy, my daughter.” you told him. His eyes widened and asked you how old she was. You told him she was four. He did the math in his head and said, “Jesus Y/N. Is that why you left?” You nodded and put your head down. 

You heard a familiar voice say, “Hey Sam? We-” The voice stopped when he looked up and saw Sam talking to you. 

He looked you in the eyes, walked over to you and threw the box he had in his hand into his brother's chest to embrace you tightly. “Y/N, is it really you?” You pulled away and nodded, finally feeling his touch again. 

You sighed into his shirt when Ivy spoke. “Mama, can we go home soon?” she asked. Jake pulled away and looked at you confused. 

“You're a mama?” he asked.

You nodded and said, “Yup I'm a mama. Her name is Ivy.” 

The gears were turning in his head. “Ivy? You named her Ivy?” he questioned. He pulled away from you and said, “Y/N, I need you to tell me. Do I have a daughter?” 

You nodded and he sighed. “Why the fuck wouldnt you tell me?” he frowned at you. Sam introduced himself to Ivy and grabbed your cart and paid for your groceries while you and Jake talked outside. 

Sam came out with Ivy holding his hand with your purse and your bags. 

He looked over and saw Jake standing up with his head in his hands, you with tears down your face. 

He came over and brought Ivy to you. She sat next to you and rubbed your arm. You stood up and grabbed your purse, got your keys out and grabbed Ivy's hand. You started walking to your car when you heard Jake speak. 

“Y/N, I'm not gonna let you walk out of my life again. I have a child I didn't even know about. You can't do this to me again. You can't do this to her. She needs a father, Y/N.” He followed you to your car and told you to move back to Nashville. You shook your head and told him no. 

“I established a life here. I can't just leave.” You told him.

He scoffed and said, “Yeah, you had a life in Nashville too. You left all of us. You thought about yourself. We could have started our family there. But no, you tucked tail and ran. Look at you now, you still are.” 

Sam came over and put his hand on his brother's chest, trying to get him to back off. You told Sam to follow you to your house, that you would explain everything there. 

You got home and opened the garage to let everyone in.

You grabbed the pot to make chicken noodle soup, a favorite in this house. 

After the four of you ate, you put Ivy to bed. 

You changed into your pajamas, which just so happened to be a pair of leggings and one of Jake's old shirts.

You went downstairs to see Jake and Sam on the couch with the fireplace on. You sat down on your large swivel chair with Manuel, your dachshund. 

Jake spoke up first. “Okay, now that she's asleep, what do you need to explain?” he said, cold heartedly.

You put a blanket over your legs and started to speak. “2 weeks after we broke up, I found out I was pregnant. You were already on tour, I couldn't let you turn around and leave your career behind. I wasn't going to stop you from doing what you love.”

“Yeah, well I loved you too!” He yelled out and started crying. “Jesus Christ Y/N, you weren't thinking. I loved you more than anything! You left and I still loved you! I still do! I still love you!” 

He kneeled in front of you on the floor and put his hands on your face. “I wish you would've told me. I had a right to know. It wasn't the best time to start a family, but we were ready.” He said.

You leaned down and kissed him. He kissed you back and put his hands in your hair. You heard Sam, “I'll go check on Ivy.” You pulled away and he put his forehead against yours. 

You told Jake, “I don't want to ever leave you again.” 

He laughed and said, “I won't let you.” 

You and Ivy moved to Nashville, back to your old house where you and Jake lived. You introduced her to her dads side of the family. Josh was elated to be an uncle and Danny was over the moon. You and Jake got back together again, and Ivy had a little brother on the way. 

Manuel adjusted to the big change and ended up with a little sister of his own.

You were delighted to be back.

Had the honor and privilege of writing the liner notes for the reissue of Lync's lone studio LP, These Are Not Fall Colors. The reissue is out in late October on Suicide Squeeze. Also wrote the following press release for it...

When the grunge explosion of the early ‘90s elevated Seattle’s flannel-clad misfits out of the divey clubs of downtown and into the mainstream, a new generation of restless artists filled the void left in the Pacific Northwest’s underground music scene. The under-21 crowd making music in the wake of Nevermind seemed even less enamored with the slick production values, classic rock nods, and testosterone-fueled moshing culture that came with the Zeitgeist, favoring their own kind of Revolution Summer-style pivot away from the popular sounds of the era towards a more emotionally nuanced, melodic, and inclusive style of punk. The Puget Sound trio Lync perfectly captured the spirit of that era, blending the passionate chaos of the DC and San Diego scenes with the rough-hewn DIY pop sensibilities of Olympia’s thriving indie community into one unified sound. Though they were only a band for two years, they helped define the next era of the Northwest underground, inspiring countless other artists and instigating the creation of beloved records from the region. After being out of print for over a decade, the band’s sole LP These Are Not Fall Colors has been remastered and expanded into a 2xLP with the inclusion of “Can’t Tie Yet”—a compilation track from the album’s recording session—into a deluxe edition available courtesy of Suicide Squeeze Records.

Originally released on K Records in the summer of ’94 just a few months before the band called it quits, These Are Not Fall Colors is a boisterous collection of scrappy basement-show anthems played on duct-taped-together gear. Led by the off-kilter melodies of late singer/guitarist Sam Jayne and hammered into place by the driving bass of James Bertram and drum battery of David Schneider, the album’s eleven songs channel that undefinable sound of the early ‘90s before descriptors like “post-hardcore” and “emo” became pejorative terms. Sure, you get a sense of the more sophisticated mid-tempo punk approach on songs like “B” and “Silverspoon Glasses,” and maybe catch wind of wistful songwriting on “Pennies to Save” and “Cue Cards,” but Lync seemed to cull their ideas from whatever bits of inspiration they could find in the gray gloom and geographic isolation of western Washington, absorbing it all and churning it together into a style uniquely their own.  

Despite Lync’s short existence, modest aspirations, and DIY approach, their work had a ripple effect. Jayne would go on to make music under the moniker of Love As Laughter. Built to Spill’s Doug Martsch was so enamored by the album that he enlisted Bertram and Schneider to serve as his rhythm section on the There’s Nothing Wrong with Love tour. These Are Not Fall Colors engineer Phil Ek would go on to help record and produce records by Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, and The Shins. Early bassist Isaac Brock and These Are Not Fall Colors album art contributor Jeremiah Green would go on to form Modest Mouse. Bertram and Green would also go on to form the revered indie rock group Red Stars Theory. At times it feels like you could pick any major Northwest indie rock group from the ‘90s and ‘00s and trace their DNA back to Lync. The deluxe edition of These Are Not Fall Colors comes pressed on 180g vinyl and packaged in a gatefold cover with printed inner sleeves and expanded artwork by Jesse LeDoux. The 2xLP also features an 18x24 poster with extensive liner notes by Brian Cook. Altogether, this new version of These Are Not Fall Colors not only brings this celebrated classic back into analog libraries of old fans, it also provides new context and appreciation for Lync’s ongoing impact on both a local and international level.

Jayne Mansfield was more than just a Hollywood actress; she was a symbol of glamour and beauty in the 1950s and 1960s. However, on June 29, 1967, tragedy struck as Mansfield's life was cut short in a devastating car accident. This event not only marked the loss of a beloved star but also brought attention to the importance of vehicle safety.

Jayne Mansfield rose to fame with her captivating beauty and acting talent. She starred in movies like The Girl Can't Help It and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and became known for her iconic blonde bombshell image. Mansfield was not only an actress but also a singer and a prominent figure in the tabloids of her time.

On that fateful day, Mansfield was traveling from Biloxi, Mississippi, to New Orleans, Louisiana, with her attorney and companion, Sam Brody, and her three children. Their car collided with the back of a tractor-trailer on U.S. Route 90 near Slidell, Louisiana. The thick fog from a mosquito fogging truck obscured visibility, leading to the accident. Mansfield, Brody, and the driver were killed instantly.

The tragic death of Jayne Mansfield shook Hollywood and the world. It not only marked the end of a vibrant career but also led to significant changes in safety regulations. The accident inspired the introduction of the "Mansfield bar," a safety feature on tractor-trailers designed to prevent cars from sliding underneath in rear-end collisions.

Jayne Mansfield's legacy continues to live on in entertainment, and her daughter Mariska Hargitay has followed in her footsteps as an actress. The accident serves as a reminder of the importance of vehicle safety measures and the lasting impact of tragic events.

Split ends

Sage running into someone from their past

Vlk belongs to @imapuppy5000

Hazel belongs to @puffymucher

Rosalina belongs to @mirconreadzztuff22

Eva Jayne cameo belongs to @bigfatbimbo

Sage admitted that they were a fan of shopping, as long as it involved getting ingredients for a dish. Finding the perfect tomato was as crucial to them as it was for Velvette to find the right color of spool for her dresses.

They were inspecting the leafy greens when someone bumped into them, automatically Sage apologized despite them being the person who should be apologized to.

The stranger adjusted her hair, "Sam?"

Sage froze, they prayed that this was their mother but they were well aware that she was dead long before their ticket was punched. But the black hair and same emerald eyes was clear as day.

"B-becca?"

"Oh Sam! I didn't expect you of all people to be brought down here." She went to give them a hug but Sage gave them a hard shove.

"Don't ever fucking touch me bitch."

Becca was taken aback, her face now forming into a scowl, "Tough talk from someone who couldn't manage to rob one house."

Sage's hands were tightening into a fist.

"And you have some nerve to try to sweet-talk the same person that you shot point blank to cover your own ass."

Becca placed her hand over her chest, "Listen I know I messed up, but I have changed and I got myself better!"

"Don't care," Sage grabbed their basket and tried to walk away but Becca gripped Sage's arm.

"You don't get to walk away from me bitch! I was helping you get out of that trailer trash dump!"

Sage struggled under Becca's grip, "I don't owe you shit! You only pretended to care about me because I wanted to pretend that I was loved."

Now Becca got close to Sage's face, her breath oozing with the odor of cigarettes, "Like how you are now? You don't think that everyone here thinks that you're mooching off of Hell's powerful ladies? The look on your face when they toss your ass on the street cuz they got bored with you will be priceless. But then again, I can see that you are playing as housewife for them."

Becca finally let go, "But you're right, what we had is in the past, I have myself a new sugar that doesn't frustrate me as much as you did, so have fun being a plaything like you always were."

She sauntered away, like she always did. "Fucking bitch!" Sage shouted, kicking the basket across the floor. Sage took a deep breath, they were not going to have a breakdown in the middle of a chain grocery store.

It wasn't until Sage got to their motorcycle when they could allow themselves to let the tears fall. They were pissed, the cunt that shot them and let them to die had the audacity to tell them that their partners were like her? They refused to accept it, they didn't bust their ass making a better life only for some person to come in and try to tear it down.

--------

Sage entered the tower, the groceries somehow remained unscathed from the road rage that Sage had during the drive. They ran into Vox and Eva, fuck they forgot that he would be joining them for a quick bite.

"Sage! Glad I ran into you, so what master dish are you planning to cook tonight?"

Eva gave Vox a flick on his head, "Sorry Sage, clearly this dunce here isn't aware about the people around him, are you ok?"

Sage quickly faked a smile, "Oh I'm great! Just fine! I just had to deal with some rude drivers is all!"

Eva wasn't convinced but didn't want to press them, "Ok, but you know that you can talk to me if anything is bugging you."

Sage wasn't sure if this is something that they wanted to talk about, if anything they wanted to have this stay dead. But they gave Eva a nod, "I appreciate it."

The trio made it to the penthouse, Rosalina was in the kitchen with most of the ingredients prepared, she was the first to greet the three as they walked in, "Vox? Eva? we weren't expecting you for another hour!"

Eva finger gunned the dragonness, "we got done an hour early, plus we won't be staying long, plus I managed to twist this twink's arm enough so he can have a damn break."

"Hey!"

"It's true though!"

Rosalina's attention moved to Sage, "Darling? Is everything ok?" Cupping the lizard's face.

Sage sighed, "I'm ok, just had a rough drive is all," kissing Rosalina's hand.

"Well the others are getting themselves cleaned up, Vox you can wash the vegetables so Sage can make the salad."

By the time everyone was getting served, Vox and Eva announced that they had to leave, with Velvette protesting, "You barely had a bite in!"

"Sorry dear, but I am this close to getting this one band to work for me and I can't waste another second."

Vox chimed in, "I also have to finish finalizing some sponsors for next week's scheduling."

The two did agree to take the packed meals so they will at least have something to eat for later.

----

"Bluebell? You hardly touched your plate."

Sage's mind returned from their dissociation, "Oh, sorry, guess I'm not in the mood to eat right now."

Everyone's attention landed on Sage, as they were known to have the stomach equal to Hazel.

Vlk was the first to ask, "Something is wrong Sage, you can tell us."

Velvette nodded, "Whatever is bothering you, we are here for you."

Sage took a deep breath, "Ok but you guys have to promise me that you are going to do nothing about whatever it is that I am going to tell you."

Rosalina squeezed Sage's hand, "we promise, right girls?" The others nodded.

Sage knew that they had to chose their words carefully, "I, I ran into my ex at the grocery store."

"Crystal? Me and the boss made sure that she stayed dead when we took care of her-"

"No, my other ex, Becca."

Vlk's ears flatten, "the same one who-"

"Who shot me and left my ass to rot? Yeah that bitch."

Velvette was about to stand up but Sage's voice stopped her, "I said not to do anything."

Velvette snapped back, "What? You expect me to stand by and let the cunt walk free?"

"I expect you to respect my wishes, I want nothing to do with her, we have both agreed to never cross paths again. This is something I want to stay in the past."

Hazel placed her hand on Velvette's shoulder, "Bluebell is right, and they kinda got the better end of that right?"

Sage's shoulder relaxed, "I really did, I love you guys, and no one, not even a shitty ex is going to make me doubt that you guys feel the same way." With the statement being solidified by them receiving kisses from each of their partners.

The Assassin's Blade

4/5 stars

*Spoilers for The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas.

I read this as the third book in the series, as SJM herself recommends. I loved this book and it’s pacing. I know the other reading order is to read it before Throne of Glass, but I don’t think I’d have cared enough to finish it then.

I actually think the best time to read The Assassin’s Blade would be after ToG and before CoM. I say that because the mentions of Rourke and Wesley in CoM confused me. It would have made a lot more sense and been far more impactful to read The Assassin’s Blade and then find out in CoM that Rourke and Wesley died after Celaena was sent to Endovier. Nothing made sense to me in CoM when Chaol and Celaena talked about the crime lords and Wesley’s death, and I had no reason to care because I didn’t know who they were.

The main debate seems to be whether or not this book is necessary and I definitely think it is. You won’t be lost in the future books if you don’t read it, but you won’t particularly care about certain characters that reappear and their appearances won’t be meaningful if you don’t know their history with Celaena. This is largely due to SJM choosing to write it like this, though. Not sure how I feel about this because it just seems like a marketing tactic so that people feel like they should read this book.

I think SJM should have either made it clear that this book is essential, or she should have written the reappearances better for those who chose not to read this book Even on Goodreads, AB is listed as 0.1-0.5 of the series, when it should be 3 if it’s essential, and her writing choice in the other books makes it seem so. I will not digress here as to avoid spoilers and will touch on this again in my review of Empire of Storms.

I feel bad saying this, but I didn’t think there was much chemistry between Celaena and Sam. It felt slightly forced and their interactions just felt off to me. Obviously, we know he dies (if you read AB in the recommended order), but how and why he died surprised me because it seemed very out of character of both Celaena and Sam to go after Rourke and Jayne, no matter how much money was offered. It was arrogant for the two of them to assume they were so unbeatable that they could take them down and they paid price. Arobynn was the only voice of reason. Maybe this was meant to come across as idiotic and desperate for love, but Celaena’s character until then didn’t come across as someone who would have made that decision, regardless of the desperation and her arrogance. 

Arobynn is one of my favorite characters in this series. He is awful and so interesting to read about because he truly has no limits to what he will do. It’s a different type of awful compared to Dorian’s father, who is just to-your-face evil. Arobynn is confusing in an interesting way because you never know if he’s acting out of love or revenge. I do wish we got to see more of his character throughout the series. I’d love to read a book from his POV to see his thought process for betraying Celaena.

The last few chapters of this book were some of my favorites in the series. The conversation between Rourke and Arobynn where Arobynn admits to betraying Celaena was chilling. I loved Celaena’s trial and interaction with the king, too, and how she told the white stag to run. Some of SJM's best writing.

Overall, a great book. It was a nice change of pace after the previous two.

"The Muthers" (1976) is an action women-in-prison film written and directed by Cirio H. Santiago. The movie stars Jeannie Bell, Rosanne Katon, Trina Parks, and Jayne Kennedy, which Santiago filmed in the Philippines. It was typical for producers to make women-in-prison movies in the Phillippines during the 1970s, and many were straightforward action flicks. Pam Grier's earlier appearances in films like "The Big Bird Cage" and "Women in Cages" are in the same genre, introducing Grier to a broader audience. The four stars in "The Muthers" were beauties from the 70s. Bell and Katon posed for Playboy, Parks was a Bond girl (Diamonds Are Forever), and Kennedy was a supermodel.

Director: Cirio H. Santiago Writers: Cirio H. Santiago, Cyril St. James

Starring Jeannie Bell, Rosanne Katon, Trina Parks, Jayne Kennedy, Tony Carreon, John Montgomery, Sam Sharruff, Dick Piper, Ken Metcalfe, Rocco Montalban, Bill Baldridge, Bert Olivar

Storyline This black-oriented women's prison film from Filipino director Cirio H. Santiago (T.N.T. Jackson) stars Playboy Playmates Rosanne Katon and Jeanne Bell as the pirate gang leader who goes undercover at a prison farm to save Bell's sister. As the wicked Serena, Jayne Kennedy cracks a whip and acts nasty until finally leading the obligatory insurrection. The prisoners pick coffee beans, and the pirate women know kung-fu, making this one of the quirkier entries in the subgenre.

Available on Blu-ray and streaming services
