you should read fire punch and dorohedoro
#though fair warning#especially about firepunch#it is NOT pleasant read#it's really good though#if you cant get through the first 30 pages though the rest of the manga doesnt get much easier to read#dorohedoro tho#how can something so grim and violent and gross be so sweet and nice and kind

Many of you might have already seen this, but Scar posted a video talking about Jellie. I may clip parts of this in the future, but I honestly just recommend you watch it. There are several photos and video clips of Jellie that haven't been posted before, along with some nice stories in memory of her. Jellie was such a special cat, and she's missed by all of us ❤️
Here are a few cute photos of baby/younger Jellie:
and my favorite <3
#this video did almost make me cry though so fair warning#mcyt#mcytblr#goodtimeswithscar#cat: jellie#video#Youtube

The OP of the other post going around is a TERF so I didn't want to reblog it but I still want to celebrate women writers SO!
What's a book written by a woman that changed your life or that you consider a classic? Any genre, any language.
#for bonus points name a trans woman author#my pick is Frankenstein#it absolutely rewired me#it's going to be a popular answer i'm sure but sometimes things are popular with good reason#i'm also currently reading tell me i'm worthless by alison rumfitt#which is so far utterly incredible. so there's my trans rec for you#(though fair warning it is Heavy)#the bat chats#read like your life depends on it

a quickie lil' Saturday night kink meme! ✨️🍑✨️
( for reasons that totally don't have annnnnything to do with me being extremely ADHD and/or susceptible to anons randomly asking me about fun writing meme options when I was already halfway debating doing a writing meme this weekend. definitely not. )
Send me an ask with a kink and a DC character and/or pairing included, and I will write you a lil' bit of related kink and/or porn in return! Also open to just getting sent a kink if you want surprised, and I'll do dealer's choice for the character or pairing.
Also-also, not a mandatory thing, but bonus points for:
a) rarepairs,
b) KON rarepairs,
and
c) giving me a reason why you think the kink vibes with the character/pairing.
Multiple requests are fine; just please send 'em in separate asks, it makes it way easier for me to answer them.
#meme#fair warning I might not post any of these for a day or two#depending on the response#though I will be starting writing them tonight#me: I'll see what responses this has so far--DAMMIT TUMBLR WHY DIDN’T YOU POST WHEN I TOLD YOU TO POST#this was supposed to be up like half an hour ago l o l

guys, can - can we stop saying that percy jackson is an unreliable narrator who thinks he's an idiot? bc like. rereading the books.
he's doesn't??? think he's an idiot????
like sure he'll say things like "echidna.... isn't that a type of anteater?" but he doesn't think that he's himself an idiot for that.
let me quote you the book: "Go ahead, call me an idiot for walking into a strange lady’s shop like that just because I was hungry, but I do impulsive stuff sometimes."
HE doesn't think he's an idiot, but he does assume that YOU, THE READER, will think that. and that's true to his life experience, true to his school experience, true to anyone with a learning disability like his.
#like the two other time that he calls himself an idiot#it's not a self worth statement#the first one is an “i feel awkward in this armor it doesn't fit me”#and the second one#is when he stops at the entrance to an alley#he's calling himself an idiot bc he holds his streetsmart up to a high standard#like guys#guys#please.#THE ONLY ONES CALLING HIM AN IDIOT ARE YOU#THE READER#(at least in the first book fair warning haven't read past HoO)#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo tv show#but only in the sense that it's in reference to the show that i see this type of defense rn#i'm just really salty#bc i've seen my brother do the same thing#where he assumes he'll be taken as an idiot or dumb#even though he knows and is confident in his own intelligence#.

new rt everyone shes a freak whos pretty sure shes been been given the role of rogue trader as an act of divine intervention to eventually replace the godemperor and bring new glory to the imperium which she thinks is dull and stagnant. dont worry about why she keeps marazhai caged in her trophy room like he's bait its not important and completely irrelevant to the fact ive joke nicknamed her simon thresh. has anyone noticed a lot of slaaneshi demons during warp jumps lately
#warhammer rogue trader#rogue trader#marazhai aezyrraesh#von valancius#if i ever mention about marazhai going insane on the voidship this is what i want you to think of#understimulated predator animal in a cage claws itself open#its worse with her but i do think he generally feels kinda insane anyway#yeah he's tricked into thinking she's tolerable and a fair alternative to the arena then hes taken to the voidship#yrliet [who was the fixation until now] tries to warn him about her before getting her head bashed in infront of him#spirit stone smashed into shards for ritual use body dragged off for vague poor medical knowledge dissection#he is now thinking the arena might not be so bad after all. except he's got no way to back out of this so hes screaming clawing at the wall#shes not giving him up willingly and the only person who could take him by force is calcazar whos not a great alternative tbh!#so he gets to go insane being bait for the chaos god he's already ocd fixated is stealing his soul [on top of normal drukhari fears]#and he's not able to maul anyone else while locked up so its just him dealing with this alone! yay#she doesnt give a shit about pasqal until he gets xenotech in him. then he goes to the trophy room too for study/more grafts#heinrix is most likely captive in the trophy room too with his death faked so he cant snitch#idira Almost got in trouble too for the implant she gets from tervantias but then it breaks and this lass is just angry at her#the Only reason she doesnt feed her to the wolves and kick her out is her door. and she is now trying to force it open with a crowbar#abelard has to deal with her shit and manage it socially. he never thought he'd want to retire but fucking hell when can he quit#she likes jae mostly for her connections. toxic yuri theyre both using eachother#she briefly idolises achilleas for bringing her to commorragh but then finds out he did it under torture and didnt want to. mad at him#he can make it up to her once hes a wrack though [he is going next to marazhai. this will only improve both their mental states]#can you tell this freak is a piece of work yet#shes got screams of the damned volume 3 playing across the ship and shes having a great time but is completely deadpan the whole time#unrelated! you can finally see my idea of marazhai next to a normal fucking human good god. yeah i think hes huge

2024 reads / storygraph
Our Lady Of Mysterious Ailments & The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle
books 2 & 3 in the Edinburgh Nights series
paranormal mystery set in a climate-ravaged future Scotland, plagued by ghosts and magic
follows a 15yo Black girl who’s finally gotten an in to learn scientific magic properly - but it turns out to be an unpaid internship, so she has to take more jobs delivering ghost messages and investigating mysteries to take care of her gran and little sister
in book 2 she’s investigating a strange illness centred on a magic school for boys
and in book 3 she’s attending a global magician conference held in a creepy castle - when someone’s murdered, and they’re locked in until she figures out the culprit
Zimbabwean magic, friendship, disabled characters, no romance (so far)
#The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle#Our Lady Of Mysterious Ailments#Edinburgh Nights#T.L. Huchu#The Library of the Dead#really enjoy this series!#the worldbuilding is very interesting - kinda combo climate-ravaged future but also in some aspects societally it feels kinda 1800s#(especially with the vibe of the mystery/paranormal elements)#I saw that the author (who is from Zimbabwe) describe it as ‘if edinburgh was a third world city’ which actually makes a lot of sense#Also I have to make the wendell & wild x lockwood & co comp again#I felt like book 2 was a little all over the place? I slightly lost track of the other-realms stuff lol#I really loved book 3 though - definitely more direct plot-wise#I like how it explores her journey through learning that the magic society is just as corrupt and shitty as anything else and maybe she#doesn't want it after all. as well as how the stress of everything is getting to her is causing panic attacks#love the scottish accent in the audiobooks!#so many interesting different supernatural elements. yay for sidhe in book 3 (tho only briefly)#hold on. do the book covers reflect the colour of her locs. (ok not quite for book one which is usually blue but there is a green variant)#ok I did say no romance but also I can’t tell if I’m just imagining Something between ropa & priya bc in book 3……they had some moments.#I mean I enjoy them as platonic moments also but just noting here in case it DOES turn out to be intentional and something that happen??#also fair warning the promo for book four seems to spoil somehting that's not even in the blurb??#aroaessidhe 2024 reads

OHHH MY GOD THE MUSIC CLUTCHES MY PEARLS AND FALLS TO MY KNEES#also THE WAY THIS SERIES USES REAL PAINTINGS AS FRAMING???? like. the main guy is—#quite literally just the son of man. and his daughter(?) is christinas world. AND THE LAST SHOT OF THE ENTIRE SERIES IS#LITERALLY A REFERENCE TO THE NIGHTHAWKS PAINTING. WATCH INTERFACE OR I EAT THE HOSTAGES#though fair warning if you actually do. there’s a decent big amount of flashing overall so be warned w/ that
