Bloodright: Himiko trying to scheme about all these hero students she totally doesn't care about except yesterday Asui showed Midoriya pictures of her younger siblings and she can't stop thinking about how cute frogs are

It's really killing the vibe

Just finished reading (listening to) The Bloodright Trilogy by Emily @skrutskie and it was SO FUN and I’m miffed!

Yes!

Absolutely miffed!

That there isn’t more chatter about it here.

It’s one of those sci-fi/fantasy universes where queerness is a totally normal accepted thing.

The best-written trans man I’ve ever read. The fact that he’s trans doesn’t even come up because there are no outright sexy scenes (NUMEROUS innuendos and implied sexyness? Oh. Hell yah). I’m only sure he was from little snippets and my own experience being one.

It’s got roommates to lovers (omg they were ROOMMATES)

Super exciting action scenes.

Secret, covert plans within plans inside a plan sandwich.

Some really cute “we know we both like eachother but we shouldn’t be together, and now we have to pretend to be together but we aren’t, and now we have to pretend we’re NOT together but we are” shit without too much angst.

I love how the author wrote the characters. Everyone’s motives and thoughts and actions make complete sense given a character’s personality and history, and it’s an incredibly colorful cast.

There are some really excellent character arcs.

Really good fun sci-fi action adventure shit without getting too into hard sci-fi territory.

Politicking and plotting and strategizing.

A bit of graphic violence. Not gonna lie. Just a smidge.

Uhhhgggg someone please read these and come yell with me. The audio books were really good too. Well, the first was hands down one of the best audio books I’ve ever heard. The second was not as good. The third was good and had 4 different narrators. You can listen to them for free on Libby if you have a library card.

12 & 18 for fandom of your choice!

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Oh man let's see. Off the top of my head-- Dawn Summers, because I think a) giving Buffy more family and b) having a teenager who got to act more like a teenager was an important contrast to the scoobies who were 40 years old at the age of 17

Bela Talbot, as I've discussed at length before but will always do so again because Crowley didn't have anything she didn't have first

Daisy Johnson, who isn't as unpopular as she used to be but I loved her from day one because the audience came in high off avengers and there's this girl who's like "doesn't this seem kind of suss" and then threw a gun in a man's face and jumped off a balcony into a swimming pool and I fell in love instantly. (Correction: I actually loved her from "you can't trace us, you can't find us... oh hi guys, what's up?")

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

Eile from the Witcher prequel. Whatever the hell Saito has going on. The entire Bloodright trilogy.

Choose violence ask meme

Escaping Gravity AU x Quirks and Gadgets AU x Bloodright AU x All For Eri AU x All For Support AU:

Midoriya: Ok, so you’re All For One’s daughter.

Uraraka: Yes.

Midoriya: And you are also All For One’s daughter.

Melissa: That is correct.

Midoriya: And you are his adopted daughter who was supposed to spy on U.A.

Himiko: Yup!

Midoriya: And you were supposed to be All For One’s…protege? Except that you accidentally killed him, and he gave you all his Quirks, probably to avoid dying.

Eri: Mmhm.

Midoriya: And you all thought that I was his unknown fifth child.

Everyone else: Pretty much.

I mean after all that it hardly sounds like a stretch

Can we talk about how Gal's panic attacks aren't This Whole Thing that make him Extra Tragic or anything. They're just there and he has the bestest friends in the galaxy to bring him down from them

Book Review – ‘Vows of Empire’ (#3 The Bloodright Trilogy) by Emily Skrutskie

Two leaders facing off against each other in a war… but can their love for each other fix it all? Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Romance, LGBT+ No. of pages: 288 Gal and Ettian have never been farther apart. Once, they were roommates and best friends, each suffocating under a secret of galactic consequence. When Gal’s came to light—that he was heir to the Umber Empire and all of its brutal…

[shadowydoes]

“He’s a black hole and a burning sun all at once, the gravitational centre of everyone in the room. All I want is to escape him, but everything about him makes that impossible.” Gal about Ettian.

Oaths of Legacy by Emily Skrutskie is the second instalment of The Bloodright Trilogy. I read the first one, nearly after it came out. It was recommended to me through Tiktok because the main couple is highly inspired by Finn and Poe from Stars Wars. And I loved it. I devoured it. I needed more. But then I finished university and I had the biggest burnout and reader’s block ever.

Before I say anything else, I wanted to share that I have a signed copy of this book? I bought this while I was in Los Ángeles for a concert. It doesn’t say that this is a signed copy nor does it cost more. I guess for once in my life I was lucky to get this copy at that B&N on that day!

This book felt so slow compared to the first one. Mainly because Gal and Ettian were separated 70% of the time. I enjoyed the push and pull when they were together. The complexity of their relationship and how it affects the galaxy is so interesting. But those moments were sporadic. in the acknowledgements, she says that it's her first second book in a series, and I think it shows.

I want to read the thrid book, mainly because I want to know how Ettian and Gal (çand Wen) are going to solve this. But I must say I am not as excited as when I finished the first one.

anyways, ★★★.5/☆☆

i thought cowboy hats didnt work on me but i just found one the right shape and hoo boy (as a mexican random cowboy hats simply manifest in my house)

[keirametzbrassknuckles]

🔀 Brehen/gaetan :)))))))))

Fancy Claps - Wolf Parade

Oof I mean it's Brehen and Gaetan so all it can be is Bad(tm)

I'm thinking gothic-style horror? Big manor house and twisted pseudo-incestual family relationships isolated from civilization and away from prying eyes. Kind of Crimson Peak ish? It might be Gaetan and his sister in Brehen’s clutches if only for the lines "when I die/I'm leaving you my feet/when you die/you can stand up for me". Theres definitely ghosts involved.

Tbh it's hard to come up with actual plot for them beyond BADTERRIBLENOGOODBADBADBAD lol
