I’m currently reading GG’s (Gentleman Ghost) comics that he appears in cuz I’m obsessed… but I have fallen in love with him and Shayera’s relationship (platonic or otherwise).

So here’s a mini comp of some of my favorite moments of theirs:

This was when they weren’t that friendly with each other, not sure if she can trust him yet

(source is from: Hawkman special #1)

Next up, they’re starting to get along! They’re on friendly terms but not quite friends yet. Craddock is a lot more friendly towards her than her husband.

(Source: DC Comics Presents issue #95)

A couple issues later, they’re officially friends, they trust each other! This part made me die from happiness, they’re literally so cute! 🥰

Slight bonus, it confirms Craddock cares for both of the Hawks which is adorable!

Shayera joins a portal that Craddock (who was basically forced to invite her in) was in without barely any hesitation…they officially share a bond!!!

In conclusion…

They’re besties, your honor!!! 🥰

Top Ten Tuesday: 5 random pairings - Friends or Romantic Match?

It’s another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! Today’s official topic is Characters from Different Books Who Should Team Up (or date, be friends with, etc.). I’m doing a spin on that topic and matching up 5 sets of heroes and heroines, along with a few of their traits, and deciding whether I think they would be good friends or a romantic pair. 5 random pairings – friends or…

She smelled the familiar fragrance of horses and leather combined with a seductive, purely masculine scent that might have been the viscount's shaving soap.

January Book Reviews: Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews

Picked this one up from the library because I've enjoyed Mimi Matthews' Siren of Sussex and I was interested in seeing what her backlist was like. When she was a girl, Margaret Honeywell hated the respectable neighbor's son she was unofficially engaged to-- and was secretly in love with the illegitimate stable boy. After an altercation sent Mr. Stable Boy abroad, she was heartbroken. Now, years later, Margaret's father is dead and she is under increasing pressure to marry-- when who should appear but a viscount with a striking, suspicious resemblance to the presumed-dead stableboy?

Overall, I found this book about a shade and a half too melodramatic. It's not silly enough to verge into fun melodrama, like Heyer's Black Moth. But nor is it serious enough for me to take seriously. The stable-boy ex (sigh). The father's unwise will (deeper sigh). The villainous fiance (blergh). Each subsequent silly plot twist is presented with a degree of seriousness that gets to be a little much at times.

I probably won't be reading any more of Matthews' backlist, but I'll still be watching out for the third book in her Belles of London series. I do like books that can describe Historically Accurate Underpinnings in exquisite detail.

The funniest thing that could happen in ofmd season 2 is Stede and Izzy hanging out so much they accidentally become best friends and both absolutely horrified when someone (definitely Oluwande or Jim) points it out to them.

Like I can definitely see a situation happening where Stede goes off into danger and Izzy is adamant that he’s not going after him to help but it immediately cuts to a scene of him going after him and all you can hear is him going “stupid fucking Stede Bonnet” like we know he’d say something like that.

Enemies who grow to care about each other is my favourite thing.

⚠️Ofmd S2 spoilers ahead⚠️

I’m just gonna say it:

Season 2 was painfully rushed. I didn’t wanna admit that fault, but it REALLY damaged the quality of the show. Part of what made S1 so great was watching the slow and steady character development and story arcs. We developed attachments to the characters because we saw them go through everything leading up to the end.

This entire season has had abrupt changes in character development (especially with Izzy. I love that they made him more human, but he went from masochistically devoted to Edward to terrified of Edward all within the span of a time jump we didn’t even see.)

Ed and Stede’s relationship shifts way too abruptly. And I know them taking it fast is part of their arc, but it still felt like they were just trying to move from arc to arc within the span of one episode each.

I also hate how none of the sideplots really tie into the story on a deeper level. (They have amazing parallels to S1, but aren’t great plot-wise.) Not to mention they almost completely abandoning the relationship they built between Olu and Jim. (I love the polyamory aspect, don’t get me wrong. And I love that they don’t blatantly explain the polyamory / tokenize it. But, the way Jim was willing to just give away Olu to Zheng in episode seven, even if they and Archie couldn’t go with him, made me upset. Not to mention that at times, it feels more like they’re trying to write off Jim and Olu as fwb, but that may just be me. And the two of them didn’t get a lot of screen time in general compared to season 1.)

The parallels to season 1 and overall symbolism were amazing, and I do still like this season overall. But it really is heartbreaking how Max sacrificed the show’s quality all for the sake of profit. I know David could have done much better with more resources.

The main reason this upsets me so much is because not only does it hurt on a personal level (damaging the quality of my comfort media), but it’s also the perfect representation of how streaming is KILLING the quality of TV. S1 was a masterpiece. The whole show is a masterpiece. But TV productions can only work with so much. And streaming services aren’t willing to accommodate to the demands necessary to make real art.
