fran's 2023 read it and weep 🫵
a comprehensive list of everything i read this year and why you should (or shouldn't) read it as well...
how to read literature like a professor by thomas c. foster
i picked this back up again when i took on a teaching job as a refresh - it was my fourth or fifth reread and as always my main man thomas c. did not disappoint!! not joking when i say i quote this thing on the reg: it's a symbol if you think it is became a permanent fixture in my vernacular ages ago. this book aligns perfectly with my yes the curtains are blue on purpose agenda and serves as an excellent foray into deep/active reading, which i am constantly preaching about to my kids. fun and fresh literary analysis, just the way it should be!
tiny beautiful things by cheryl strayed
gritty, witty, and full of heart. this advice column-turned-book is shocking but so very human, and it got me out of a months-long reading slump.
bridge of clay by markus zusak
yes, a boy named clay builds a bridge, but it’s sooooo much more than that. this book weaves the past and present together in a beautiful way and really brings meaning to the concept of haunting the narrative. the descriptions are vivid and lived-in which makes the setting - 1980’s australia - entirely accessible, even to a foreign homebody like me. the family dynamics at play are outrageous and charming and the whole thing is gorgeously written and it made me cry. read it right now.
the hunchback of notre dame by victor hugo
i LOVED this book but unless you are just as obsessed with the story as me, this is not a rec. victor hugo anything is more of a warning or an i-read-it-so-you-didn't-have-to. did i learn more than i ever wanted to about french gothic architecture and the paris catacombs? yes. was i still utterly enthralled by the layers upon layers of tragedy woven together? also yes. it was so neat to see the (obviously many and major) differences from the children's movie and musical that i grew up loving. so many good quotes for my commonplace book in this one.
song of solomon by toni morrison
i had read just about every toni morrison book except this one, and since this is like theee book i figured it was high time i rectified that. to no one's surprise, i loved it. a brilliantly written coming of age novel with family history and family mythology in dialogue with cultural history and cultural mythology. who are we but the stories we tell ourselves? is common history alone enough to have in common? morrison is an author who poses difficult questions and lets her readers grapple with difficult answers and i always come away from her work feeling exhilarated. if you let me influence you in anything let it be this - whatever book of hers you choose, Everyone should read toni morrison and experience her brilliance firsthand.
the first law trilogy by joe abercrombie (the blade itself, before they are hanged, and last argument of kings, respectively)
gritty political fantasy with the most lovable evil bastards of characters you ever met - it's safe to say i'm obsessed. each and every character has themes and lines of repetition that carry through the series, but they're Anything but one-note. this trilogy is all about cycles, and what i love is that everything - literally everything - comes full circle while still feeling fresh and true to both the story and its characters. also logen ninefingers is my wife now.
the pale blue eye by louis bayard
i watched this movie first on netflix and had a great time, but to no one's surprise i'm going to tell you that the book is better. the character voices are strong and enjoyable - the kinds of personalities that keep you turning pages - and the mystery itself is full of wonderful twists and turns. it's in dialogue with sir arthur conan doyle, as all post-holmes detective fiction is, but does not feel shadowed by or beholden to it. the historical fiction aspect is fun as well!

Fuck man I knew aai 1-4 had MVK being dismissive and abusive to the siblings but fuck man.
Actively saying that attending his 13 year old daughters courtroom debut isn't a priority for him
Then this exchange which is prompted by nothing beyond Miles asking to do his job even using the Von Karma framing of finding perfection only for Manfred to just completely shut him down and verbally abuse him
Miles then being completely unable to respond in shame. Even though this is God damn Bratworth were talking about and in the last scene he was saying this
And then Fran coming in to desperately try and deflect her father ire to protect him
Then when she finally does convince him to let them investigate he says this
Basically actively admitting to anyone with the context we have now that he's only making Miles a procecutor to sully Gregory's legacy.
Then Miles thanking her because he saw her defelcting Manfreds abuse for him.
Just absolutely heart breaking. It really shows the dynamic at play here perfectly. He doesn't care about Franziska. He is not putting this energy into her career and only putting it into Miles' because he is using it as an avenue to abuse and control him and further enact his revenge on Gregory. And she doesn't understand why. She doesn't get why Miles gets this attention and she doesn't. But she already knows that she has to deflect his attention to protect Miles. And Miles doesn't understand how he's doing everything he can to do the right thing but is still his target. Its such a genuinely interesting dynamic where both of them think the other is the favourite. Miles thinks it Fran because he's not constantly verbally abusing her and Fran thinks it's Miles because he actually bothers to give him the time of day and is properly mentoring him. She's 13 man. She's about to become a prosecutor at 13 and he still doesn't care about her in the slightest.
Ugh Von Karma siblings, my heart
#ace attorney#miles edgeworth#von karma siblings#franziska von karma#bratworth#manfred von karma#tw abuse#ace attorney investigations#i always say i relate a lot to miles with MVK but honestly i had this exact dynamic with that abuser that Fran has#being the better one. working yourself to death to become it and sacrifing so much of your humanity so you can be recognised#even trhough you know the person tou want to recognise you is cruel and vindictive#but not understanding why the other persons gets that praise when you dont even though its coupled with abuse#my heart#i need to read and write so much von karma siblings fic after this omg

I also wanna know about your Timmy Turner headcanons, please.🩷
Please enjoy these low quality images of the Boy™ ever.
Timmy is so extremely Boy that he's also a girl to me. You understand and you agree.
Related: when he feels like a girl, he just has Wanda and Cosmo switch his gender. So much easier than keeping a whole second closet of wigs and makeup and dresses on hand! Normally, though, Timmy feels masculine/androgynous and doesn't care how he's perceived. (He's got better shit to do than worry if his hair is getting too long or if wearing that cute shirt he saw at Walmart will make him look like a girl. Not his problem!!!)
When he gets older he starts to love his teeth, purely out of spite because so many people dragged him about his overbite over the years.
He retires his pink hat as a teenager. (He gives it to Poof.)
In my ideal canon, Timmy ends up as an honorary fairy. Because fuck any reality where he has to say goodbye to his found family, I don't respect that at all.
He and Chester briefly "date" in middle school. It's mostly sweaty hand holding and lots of awkward blushing. It doesn't work out, but it's what introduces Timmy to the wonderful world of Questioning Your Sexuality (and eventually his gender).
Timmy graduates high school with a comfortable C average.
Timmy's favorite wish is Poof.
His favorite reoccuring wish is putting a theme park in his backyard. At this point, he's purposely trying to see how long it takes his parents to notice. (Hint: they never do.)
Timmy always has a pair of scissors on him, in case he needs to cut through a net unexpectedly. He never leaves home without something sharp.
He gets a shitty tattoo when he's fifteen to spite his parents (they don't notice). His second tattoo is carefully selected to remind him of Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, and they are with Timmy in human disguises when he gets it. He gets other tattoos eventually, but the second one is his favorite.
When he gets older, his parents get worse. They neglect him more frequently and yell at him when they are paying attention to him. Wanda and Cosmo give Timmy an emergency button that will poof him into their castle if he needs to hide for whatever reason. He eventually gets his own bedroom next to Poof's.
(On really bad nights, he wanders the Hall of Timmy to remind himself that he's loved.)
Timmy dislikes his last name. (For a couple years after the Wishology stuff, he flinches when someone says his full name.)
He and Trixie become really good friends in high school once she stops caring about the opinions of people who don't like the real her, anyway.
His least favorite color is orange. (Blue is a close second.)
Timmy mellows with age but he still loves to cause problems on purpose. Sometimes just to get Cosmo to laugh and Wanda to do her fond little eyeroll.
He leaves the house on his eighteenth birthday. (It's the only birthday that his parents ever remembered.)
#timmy turner#ask#far from fran#fairly oddparents#honorable mention: age regression#i read a fic where Timmy would have Wanda age him down to a baby and coddle him to make up for a childhood full of neglect#age regression isn't something I'm at all interested in or familiar with but it was written very understandably!#timmy is one of the few characters I could see doing that

All I know is I just want to spend the majority of my life with you
The actual very first doodle where I finally put my QPR Frans idea on canvas. Man I really love thinking about queer relationships
Please feel free to ask me anything about their relationship too
#seriously i've spent many nights thinking about them#i'm very insane about them#dw the insanity is under control tho (i might be lying)#remember how i saw someone said-#'qpr is to relationships how non-binary is to gender'#'queer' also means strange/outside of the established standards so we can go nuts with our own meaning#man this is so damn cool#i could go on and on about this topic#frans#frisk#sans#sansfrisk#qpr frans#sans x frisk#frisk x sans#i would gnaw on my fingers hard if i'm not too tired rn#if you read all these tags i appreciate you <33#my art

Ah. I have so many unanswered asks, Franstober piled up on me, and my fics go un-updated. I feel myself getting the itch to write my actual novel again, which I'm very happy about. However, I know that means I'm going to be a lot more inactive on here while I dive back into it.
I'll def still be around, but I'll be posting about my novel, Stars & Back, not Undertale (until I get the UT itch again and then I will be revived like an undying curse)
All this to say,
Don't forget about me when I start Stars and Back posting.
#undertale#mob talks#to the stars and back#I'll be back#but if you like my writing because it's good and not just because its undertale#i suggest following my main account#the-gothmother-writes#that way you can follow updates about my novel#it's gonna be great y'all#and HEY#if you've read baby face....#you'd LOVE my novel#because its loosely based off of baby face#and you'd get to see the Baby Face Boys in a new light#(because the boys make a come back... AS OCS!)#mobsona#authorsona#persona#frans#frisk x sans#sans x frisk#sona

waaaaa they took away my male lead in the Only Straights Show from 2-3 seasons from now and made him a girl for some sort of WOKE AGENDA they're changing my badly written misogynist book series woe is me we need more straight rep!!! this is because i like their story not for any other reason!!! i'm bi as well!!! more straight romance!!!! no nonconformity!!!! the books!!!!!!!
#bridgerton#bridgerton spoilers#can y'all shut up they're doing something interesting#so the motivations behind the romance will have to change and? if ur so desperate for the book read it#isn't it interesting to you being given alternate stories?#'what about the estate what about the want for a child being the only reason she wanted to remarry'#what about sapphic guilty pining huh. don't we deserve something too? like brimsley/reynolds did not get a happy ending#its almost guaranteed that benedict's bisexuality will be brushed aside again (as much as it will still be part of him#i really feel that they will ignore it after he meets sophie)#i feel like francesca was the best story to do this to#because the core of guilty pining and hell they can still have her looking for a husband so she can have a child!! and michaela loving he#and knowing she can't ever give fran what she wants but still staying by her side like isn't that compelling!!!!#whatever. don't contact me abt this so many people being upset abt this as if this show was ever more than a loose adaptation#ratspeaks#the only valid concerns are the ones worried abt the actress being harassed

the more I think about it the more I don't get how the hargreeves siblings were the problem like sure, s2 and s3 were on them but it was cause-effect to the very first apocalypse in 2019 and literally none of that would have happened if reginald had been just a tiny bit less of a shitty father to begin with. i get that the 43 children were anomalies but how was it on them for just existing ?
#head in my hands and not in a fun way it's so STUPID everything's so stupid#maybe it's the countless ways i saw them solve the problem once and for all in the fics i read but srsly what kind of shitty excuse is that?#not to mention harmful but??? they'd been fine for 6 years before abigail started the cycle again IT WAS NOT ON THEM FFS#tua#tua season 4#luther hargreeves#diego hargreeves#allison hargreeves#klaus hargreeves#five hargreeves#ben hargreeves#or well...#sparrow ben#viktor hargreeves#lila pitts#reginald hargreeves#abigail hargreeves#shut up fran.#never in my life have i seen so many stupid writing choices be made one after another damn
