Another two for one on book reviews today!

Bunny Hope Beau: This is my favorite of this series so far! It actually had me tearing up more than once. I loved that Cam and Avery found each other at the right moment, and were together at a really difficult and grief filled time. I also loved the way that their friend group came together to support them. Also? Shout out to Jośe’s Abuela for adopting Cam, Avery, and Eric as part of her family. Bunny Hop Beau is getting four and a half stars!

Fireworks Flame: I loved this one! It was so sweet that Rick and Alan kept trying to find each other for years after their one night stand. And that Alan was so shocked and happy to find out that he had a son with Rick. I also really loved that Alan’s family excepted Dennis as soon as they laid eyes on him. And, of course, gotta give a shout out to Abuela for adopting her grandson’s friends and their partners into her family and fostering a community filled with love. This is getting four stars!

I can’t stop thinking about the fire and how everyone, literally everyone, including Blitzø himself, blames Blitzø for causing it because?

No? Tf he didn’t?

Like. Sure, it really seems like he did, from the perspective of the people in the tent, he left and the fire started right from there, they didn’t see the other guy holding the cake. From Blitzø’s perspective, he knocked over the cake with the candles, he started it, that’s on him…

BUT

So many things had to happen prior to that moment to allow that fire to start and more importantly, spread as fucking quickly as it did— to the point where I’m almost certain that if Blitzø had avoided that guy, it would’ve happened anyway.

First of all, this is a fucking circus tent. In hell. A giant piece of fabric draped over a bunch of wood poles, in HELL. This circus canonically houses those fucking fire horses, and I’d bet money that they had fire eaters/dancers, so why in the 7 rings was it able to light up that fast? Simple answer: despite having the money (the circus seems pretty popular) Cash fucking Buckzo cut corners and didn’t make sure shit was fire proof. Unsurprising on every level. It’s a miracle that it wasn’t lit up sooner.

Second, and personally what I believe to be most important, WHY IN THE HELL WAS THAT GUY WALKING WITH OPEN FLAMES IN A FUCKING TENT WHERE LITERALLY ANYONE COULD BUMP INTO HIM AND START A FIRE IN TBE FIRST PLACE??? Y’all wanna blame Blitzø for this? What the fuck would’ve happened when that guy tried to walk through the tent flap by himself with that open flame? Why was nobody there to walk in front and help him make sure NOTHING CAUGHT ON FIRE??? Why were the candles even lit??? Just light them inside???

Just—

Look. I’m not saying that Blitzø isn’t to blame for his actions after the fire. He made the choice the fuck up Verosika’s life, even if it was a trauma response and he has to own up to that. He constantly invades Moxxie’s boundaries and he needs to apologize and stop fucking doing that, but holy shit, give him a fucking brake on this one thing guys.

His reaction that day, stomping off heartbroken because his best friend and crush at the time just gleefully accepted a card from Cash that said “I wish you were my son”, is so fucking justified. If you think that you wouldn’t do that if it happened to you, you’re probably lying to yourself.

He turned around and bumped into someone, maybe shoved them a little, but at the end of the day, these are actions that occur literally everyday, with absolutely zero consequences, that even ignoring everything else I said, I still wouldn’t place the blame of the fire on him and the fact that not one single person in his life felt the same tells me that Blitzø had already been playing scapegoat his entire life prior to that.

As I went to Paris really last minute and totally unannounced (long live flat-hunting and sightseeing), I took the opportunity to visit two museums - the Louvre and Orsay - as they are free with the education pass and for under-26s. The Musée d'Orsay is a museum showing works from the 19th century, so I thought I'd share a few photos of works for HL fandom artists to use as inspirations/references 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry about the quality and framing of the photos, it was very busy in the museums 🥲

And sorry if these works are well known (I know the artists are but I didn't know these works at all)

1. James Tissot, Evening, 1878

2. Franx Xavier Wintheralter, Portrait of Madame Rimsky-Korsakov, 1864

3. Pierre Auguste Renoir, City Dance, 1883

4. Giovanni Boldini, Count Robert de Montesquiou, 1897

5. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Femme de profil, 1896

And from the Louvre museum (All right, it's not 19th century, but anyway):

6. Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano Tori, dit BRONZINO, Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Statuette, 1550?

7. Salon and period furniture in the Louvre

I don't know if this will help anyone, but you never know 😶

Which ever FNAF character wins I'll draw part 21

Characters who will continue onward: Post-Scooped Michael Afton, Phone Guy, Purple Guy / William Afton, Funtime Freddy, and Charlie Emily.

Top 5 characters who win will go onward (less they have 0 votes), the rest don't.

(I'll do FNAF world last, this is up to FNAF VR 2, anything after isn't going on. For characters left to add I'll only show the ones from the next game, FNAF 1, Afton Family and FNAF 2 will be fused. Afton Family will only include them before they die. FNAF World will be added last, I don't know how I'll do it due to the amount of characters but ya know. I'll do Michael, Mike Smith, and Foxy Bro as separate characters since other characters who are the same character but different forms, like Baby and Scrap Baby, are being counted as separate characters too for the pole.)

If I forgot any characters feel free to remind me, it might be hard to remember due to the amount of characters in this series.

Next characters to add (FNAF AR):

Calavera Cupcake, Woodland Toy Chica, Black Ice Frostbear, Artic Ballora, Frostbear, Frostbite Balloon Boy, Frost Plushtrap, Great Escape Golden Freddy, and Sunken Toy Bonnie.

Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night - A poem #amwriting #WritingCommunity #poem #poetry #bonfirenight #GuyFawkes #Fire

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well! It’s that time of year again. Time for gathering around bonfires and watching beautiful fireworks displays. For those of you who aren’t from the UK, or who aren’t in the know, in England, we celebrate the 5th of November in commemoration of the discovery of a plot to blow up parliament in 1605. Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night is so named after Guy (Guido)…
