#but I just don’t vibe with the genre

[bxriles]

A lot of creators in bookish spaces (ones who I really respect and share similar tastes with) keep talking about how amazing The Locked Tomb series is and I want to try it, but then I hear it’s sci-fi and I’m just immediately put off.

I don’t really fuck with the genre too much, but I want to give this series a chance, especially after seeing what people have to say about it. But then I’m afraid it’s going to be SUPER HEAVY sci-fi, and that would nottttt be a good time for me.

So my question for the masses is this: is it worth trying out The Locked Tomb series if you’re not a huge sci-fi fan? And be honest lmao. If you think it’s super heavy on the sci-fi elements and that it might be off-putting to someone like me, let me know! But if you think it’s worth pushing through, I want to know that too!

PS - I know the books are confusing as hell and difficult to follow at times, but I’ve already read Malazan Book of the Fallen, so that doesn’t scare me. If anything, that’s a point in TLT’s favor.

Hi! These are my TBR shelves. My goal this year has primarily been getting this down to a reasonable number. I made a rule where I can’t end a month with more on my physical TBR than I started with and right now I’m over that and I can’t read enough books before June to make up for it (my preorders this month got out of hand and I’ve been writing more than I’ve been reading).

I’m looking for suggestions on where to cull! So please, please snoop through my shelves and give me your opinions?

if i had the time, attention span, patience, and mental stamina, i’d make some kind of video/dissertation just to study the “ash gets betrayed” genre of pokeani fanfiction under a microscope. i kinda did that with my old deconstructed!betrayal au but i’d like to go deeper if that makes sense

sometimes I look at the comments under those music edit audio compilation videos and go: “You aren’t real”

the comments are all the same every single one of them on every single video it’s gotta be just like one person under all these channels

why hasn’t someone done a deep dive on music edit audio compilation channels

NOT the music edit audio community itself but the people who collect the audios and put pictures of fucking I dunno generic (most likely ai generated now) anime character on top.

It feels like there’s so much more than what you see on the surface.

or maybe I’m just crazy which at this point I might be. just throwing it out there my gut feeling is telling me something’s up.

I already know I don’t like this new Doja Cat “demons” and satan era bc I already have my good aggressive or “weird” fem rap(idk what she’s trying to do honestly) like Smack a Bitch or Rage or OHFR? or Black Punk (just Rico’s entire discography tbh add Art of War) at a concert venue has people frothing at the mouth and PvE enabled. Demons could be played in a new DC movie trailer. It’s literally a worse “Boss Bitch”. Also just listen to Crazy by Doechii tbh it could literally be part of this satanic panic music if she added red color grading and devil horns to her MV or someshit. Like the beats go hard on each song for Scarlet so far but like give me something actually edgy in the song and not just the visuals bc I’m not gonna drive 90+ mph on the interstate listening to Paint the Town red or Demons bc Im visualizing or watching the MV’s I’m gonna do that bc I’m listening to something that makes me feel like the minute I reach a stop I’m rearranging someone’s fucking bones or the beats are so grimey I can cook a malicious brew in my car.

Ik if Doechii tapped into this shit it’d be the vibe Doja’s said she was giving and then some (listen to Swamp Bitches and Spooky Coochie holy shit they make me want to swerve into incoming traffic and huff napalm shrapnel in a good and sexy way) also listen to Paris Texas lmao

the more i read about cozy horror the more i understand why people fucking hate the idea of this being considered a “genre”

Idk why I associate ranthmau with Lana Del ray so much.

Maybe it’s the whole sort of… pretty but tragic vibes?

Rosé introducing herself as “I’m Rosie—oh, I’m Rosé” was so endearing lol. Why doesn’t she just rebrand to Rosie for her solo promotions? Like kpop fans know who she is and then she can be more herself.

Reached my least favourite guest star in my rewatch of C/R/2 and I would just skip the section but it also involves one of my fav battles so I am Suffering

I think I could have easily included Utena and Madoka here, had I done this a few months later

I have to speak my truth.

I hate old goths that are like “if you don’t copy 80s style goths, the original ones, you aren’t goth” like, listen, you are very much serving cunt but I had 15 minutes to get ready this morning. I’m not gonna be able to pull that off
