i hate this lazy ass trend of writing a paragraph and then labelling it with every fictional character you can think of. the king of curses and oikawa will not fuck you the same way. 'rough sex' in the tags and its just one imaginary guys and the character labels are toji fushiguro and light yagami

professor layton feels like a franchise where you either played it, made it a core part of your personality and go into a frenzy whenever you see or hear any mention of it
or you didn't play it and wonder why the fuck people are going rabid for a game about puzzles

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)
"So. Tell me what happened."
"Well. It was me. I kicked it."
"Any particular reason?"
"I lost my temper."
"Who with?"
"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."
"And you kicked the painting?"
"Yes, sir."
"Instead of kicking McClaren?"
"Yes, sir."
"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."
"So do I, sir."

Effloresce snippet
“Ask me for help.” Rhysand was drawing magic hard enough it seemed to warp reality around him, dreaming starry shadows unfurled around his body, more menace than wings but for the borrow shape. “Ask me for help, Nesta Archeron, and I will lend my power to your people.”
Cassian, five hundred years of service lived, could have torn out his tongue in that second.
Instead, he caught Feyre’s eye.
Feyre, one hand bunched in Rhysand’s jacket- whether she really thought she was holding him back or anchoring herself, Cassian couldn’t imagine- shaking her head in sorrow. Grief. Looking past him to Nesta like her sister was making a mistake.
“Or,” Rhysand murmured, all velvet, “I can do it myself. I know how rare it is, for the legions to listen to a woman. Or even your own people. Ask me for help, Nesta, and it will be yours. I swear it.”
Cassian had seen her move before.
Knew perfectly well humanity was a truth held fractured in Nesta’s veins. That she could be terrifyingly quick, hold and maintain dominance like she’d been born for the way faeries communicated with each other.
There was no sound louder than her heartbeat.
Her rage, a scream of wind rattling the windows of the hall, a fear that wound all the way down to Cassian’s bones.
He blinked, and she was right in front of Rhysand.
“You will die on fire,” Nesta hissed, in a register no human throat could hold, “You will beg like the coward you are. No one will help you. No shadow will save you. You have spent centuries acting like no will matters but yours, but you will not be strong enough to survive. Maybe then I’ll ask your ashes what your help is worth.”
Rhysand, cruel as dawn, smiled.
But Cassian could see too, that he’d stopped breathing.
“It takes much more than fire to kill High Fae, Lady Archeron.”

Wren Martin Ruins It All
YA contemporary romcom
student council president proposes to cut the school valentine’s dance because it's expensive and alienating for queer/single people, but instead the vice president (who he adamantly hates for being perfect) suggests they get sponsored by a popular friendship app
he decides to secretly give the app a go to “know his enemy” but ends up making a friend, and starts to catch feelings for him...and maybe realises the guy he hates isn't actually so bad either...
ace mlm MC, aro-questioning side character
I loved this so much! great MC with a funny internal monologue
despite the title most issues or misunderstanding are sorted out pretty quickly rather than drawn out for the drama and plot. which is refreshing
I was a little nervous about the concept of ‘ace hates the school dance and wants it shut down’ - there's a bit of a stereotype of aspecs being boring Fun Haters - but I think it did a really good job of showing the specifics of why, not dragging it out, and also that he’s just a snarky fun hater in general with not much weight behind it.
There’s also no discovering of sexuality or big coming out (just one-on-one) - he already knows he’s ace, and it comes up naturally a bunch, talking about how dances etc can feel isolating, the way the friendship app called buddy being called ace-friendly can feel infantilizing, avoiding dating because of the stress of having to check upfront if people about it, etc.
I would have liked to know more about his relationship with his mum? Though I understand that it’s clearly something he avoids thinking about - going too deep into his relationship with his parents might have changed the tone a lot. but still.
ARC from netgalley thanks netgalley

Can we actually just kill the rest of the characters off in a quick explosion and have the rest of the series just be Sukuna and his boygirl twink’s slice of life adventure?

I want anyone who has ever taken the Netflix social media accounts as even a remotely accurate representation of the content of a film/show (or as having even a modicum of reflection of the intention of the creator) to see what they just posted as promo for May December given the content of the film—and then never use them as a reason for anything, plot or ship, happening in any canon ever again. I’m so serious lmao
