#ground sloth girl

[nature-nerd-sarah]

Maybe one of those giant ice age sloths that are the reasons avocados have the pits

Sloths are surprisingly good swimmers, so the idea of a ground sloth girl in a bikini immediately jumped into my mind. She's sitting at a beach bar, eating tortilla chips with guacamole.

Everybody's like "dinos this, ichthyosaurs that" and I just want to see the Pleistocene. I mean we just missed it. I'm not asking for much.

Sweet Home Mini Series [1.37K Words]

Disclaimer: Please do not repost my work to other sites or claim as your own, this is purely written from my imagination and from the help of the series. All rights of the main storyline goes to the writers and producers of Sweet Home.

Summary: The world has been overrun by monsters due to our own selfish desires. Pride. Greed. Wrath. Envy. Lust. Gluttony. Sloth.

WARNINGS: SWEET HOME AU // GORE // BLOOD // HORROR THEMES // APOCALYPTIC // HEARTBREAK // MONSTERS // MENTIONS OF DEATH // MENTIONS OF SUICIDE // MENTIONS OF SELF HARM // USE OF Y/N // SHE/HER PRONOUNS // FEMALE READER // UNEDITED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

It had started with a simple nose bleed. Blood cascading down the lower half of her face, caking her skin in a thick crimson layer. No amount of tissue could plug the stream gushing out of her nose, it was never ending.

Soon came the voices and hallucinations. It was different from the usual times she would hear herself talk, this time it sounded disparate - distorted in a sense. Degrading and belittling her, telling her to give in to her sins and to let it cleanse her of all the negative thoughts and feelings swimming in the deep, dark pit of her chest.

Then there was quiet. Peace. Not a single breath could be heard. But it seemed a switch had been flipped, the painful screams ripping from her throat as a burning sensation overcame her body. It was like her body was set alight, fire coursing just below her skin and deep within her bones. It was like no other feeling she had ever experienced.

Soon followed darkness. Just an empty void. Her consciousness was locked away deep inside her mind, like her brain had put her on pause until further notice. Floating weightlessly within the depths of her mind, free from the thoughts and torment her own subconscious inflicted upon her.

Y/n shot up with a gasp, her skin was clammy with cold sweat. Her clothes clinging to her body as she pushed the damp locks away from her face. It was just a dream. It wasn’t real. Or so she kept telling herself. Her eyes were still clouded with sleep, blinking a few times as they slowly focused. The young girl looked around, breathing a sigh of relief once she took in the surroundings around her.

The day-care, on the ground level of Green Home, was packed tightly with the residents from the upper floors, all spread out on the floor sleeping somewhat peacefully. Y/n pushed herself up off the floor, carefully stepping over stretched out limbs as she trudged out of the room. The air was cold, something she wouldn't usually welcome but it was a big contrast to her burning skin. The young girl had sat on the floor of the lobby, staring out of the main doors enshrouded by the shutters as she took in the destruction outside the complex. Monsters roaming around carelessly, cars tipped over on their sides, buildings barely standing. It was the complete opposite of how the city looked a couple days ago.

Shuffling could be heard beside the girl, it was quiet but she still heard it. Y/n turned her head slowly to look at what, or who, was making the noise, only to see the brooding Pyeon Sang-Wook leaning against the wall beside her; a cigarette perched between his lips. Burn scars littered the side of his face, travelling down his neck tucking itself away into the collar of his leaf print shirt. No one knew much about Sang-Wook, he looked like a force to be reckoned with and that was enough for the other residents to steer clear of him, though not the younger Lee sibling. Eun-Yu could be seen trailing behind the man every chance she had, it was endearing in an odd sort of way.

Y/n turned back around, ignoring him like she did with everyone else. She was an antisocial little thing, keeping to herself even while the world ended in front of her very eyes. The only person she seemed to tolerate was Cha Hyun-Su and still, it was to a bare minimum. The pair never really talked, instead she would sit outside the door to the room he had been locked away in, staring at him like he was some kind of science experiment. She didn't care he was part monster, no, she was intrigued by it.

Sang-Wook eyed the young girl, deep brown irises taking in the side of her face that was on view for him to see. Deep purple bags kissing below her eyes, making them look sunken. Her skin looked pale, but maybe that was just down to being locked inside the complex with near to no sunlight. The older man was quiet, observing her like she was nothing he had ever seen before.

"Even if the world has ended, you could still have some manners and not stare." Y/n spoke up, her voice a little gravely. She didn't need to look at him to know the exact look on his face. Eyebrows knitted together ever so slightly, his jaw ticked faintly that even someone with 20/20 vision wouldn't be able to pick it up. Sang-Wook scoffed, taking a long drag of his cigarette though he didn't speak, he never did. It was something Y/n loathed. The young girl huffed, turning her whole body to face Sang-Wook as she stared up at him.

"The scars. How did you get them?" She spoke up once more, this was the first time she had spoken more than one sentence to anyone in Green Home. Her eye's were trained on the older man, almost taunting him as she leaned forward on her elbows. Sang-Wook still didn't answer, just looking at her with a blank expression. The pair were interrupted from their mini staring contest by Lee Eun-Hyuk, the appointed leader of Green Home.

His glasses sat snuggly on the bridge of his nose as he looked between the two with a knowing gaze, his honey brown eyes locking onto Y/n's face for a moment before he looked away. "Why are you awake?" And there it was, the tone of pure annoyance. Y/n looked up at Eun-Hyuk quizzically, her head tilted to the side as if she didn't know what he was talking about. Though she didn't utter a single word, opting for staying quiet as she turn back around to peer out between the shutters once more.

It had been approximately four days since the outbreak. The residents of Green Home all crowding around together in the lobby as Eun-Hyuk explained the buddy system to everyone, telling them they always had to have their counterpart with them at all times in case a monster somehow got into the building. Y/n had the unfortunate pleasure of being paired up with Eun-Hyuk himself, saying something along the lines of "I don't trust you can take care of yourself." Which had earned an irritated grumble from the girl, muttering insults under her breath as she slumped back against the steps leading up to the now blocked stairwell.

It wasn't that she hated Eun-Hyuk, she just didn't believe in his views or entirely like how he lead the group of survivors but like she could do any better. The young girl trailed behind Eun-Hyuk, her hands shoved into the pockets of the dirtied hoodie that barely fit her. She followed the older Lee sibling everywhere, from the security office all the way to the bathroom where she stood outside tapping her foot impatiently, and yet she still didn't talk. That was until she saw fit.

Everyone was chilling in the day-care, opening the packages they had gotten before the lockdown had happened. Chatting away about what they would do once everything was back to normal. Just outside the room though, Eun-Hyuk was talking with Hyun-Su, Sang-Wook and Yi-Kyeong about going down into the garage to see if there was a way out. Y/n was leaning against one of the walls, listening in on the conversation.

"I want to go. I know where they keep the keys to the cars down there." She spoke up, her voice just loud enough for the group to turn around and look at her in shock. "Not happening." Eun-Hyuk was the first to say anything, his eyebrows knitted together as he scowled at the girl. "If you're going down there then I have to too, buddy." Sarcasm laced her tone as she spoke, her eyes glaring at Eun-Hyuk slightly. And just like that, she had been accepted as part of their little group of monster hunters.

Five Tangled AUs I'll Never Write Because I Don't Have The Time

1. Eugene gets adopted by Quirin instead of going to the orphanage.

He still becomes Flynn Rider and rescues Rapunzel from the tower, but his turn to crime is due to a falling out between him and his dad after his and Varian's mom disappears under mysterious circumstances.

Quirin is keeping secrets, and thier relationship is strained, but after meeting Rapunzel, Eugene is trying to mend that relationship with him... Only for the amber incident to cut that short.

Obviously the biggest change here is that Eugene and Varian are brothers, so Varian isn't left alone after the snow storm. Rather, Eugene is trying to protect Varian from King Frederic while also trying to stay in his future father-in-law's good graces... All while dealing with his own grief.

This drastically changes the conflict and outcome of season one. Forcing Rapunzel to confront her father directly and own up to his misdeeds, and brings Varian along on the season two road trip.

Also Eugene has even less reason to accept Edmund because Quirin is the man who raised him and is his 'real dad' for all intents and purposes.

Also, thier mom, Ulla, being trapped by Zan Tiri and finally escaping would be a major plot point in season three.

2. Digimon AU

Rapunzel, Eugene, Cassandra, Varian, Lance, Styalan, and Caine are all college students who get sucked into the digital world.

They each get their own digimon and must face off against the seven digimon demon lords in order to return home, and in doing so confront their own worse vices.

Rapunzel's digimon is Coronamon. She is The Leader of the group and her element is Fire/Light/Sun. Her nemesis is Belphemon, and her main vice is Sloth. Because she keeps avoiding her problems by chasing after frivolous pursuits. Such as standing up to her abusive mother Gothel, or dealing with her responsibilities as the leader of her team.

Eugene’s partner is Kudamon. He’s The Mediator of the group. The voice of reason and common sense. His elemental is Wind. His nemesis is Lucemon, and his main vice is Pride, for his uses vanity to compensate for his low self esteem born from growing up in the foster system.

Cassandra’s digimon is Lunamon, and her rival is Leviamon. Her fatal flaw is Envy, for she’s jealous of Rapunzel. She’s The Second in Command; because she offers a counter balance to Rapunzel’s way of doing things, but they butt heads often. Her element is Darkness/Moon.

Varian is The Brains of the outfit. His digimon is Labramon, who can change to either a vaccine or virus upon evolution. However his main thematic element is Electricity. His nemesis is Daemon and his vice is Wrath. As the youngest in the group, he often feels unheard and will lash out in anger.

Lance is The Heart of the team, as he’s forever the optimist. His digimon is Otamamon and his element is Water. His rival is Beelzemon, and his fatal flaw is Gluttony, for he never had enough growing up in the foster care system, therefore he shows no restraint when given opportunities, even if it means hurting someone else.

Caine is The Muscle of the group. Her digimon, Goblimon, is a heavy hitter when he digivoles, and she’s the most likely to throw a punch against a monster on her own. Her enemy is Barbamon, and her vice is Greed. She’s criminal on the run for theft, but it’s a life she feels she was forced into. Her element is Metal/Ground.

Stalyan is The Chick, for lack of a better trope term. She’s daddy’s spoiled little rich girl who is in for a rude wake up call when she gets to the Digital World. Her digimon is Floramon and her element is Grass. Her rival is Laylamon and her fatal flaw is Lust. She’s in love with Eugene, but he doesn’t return her feelings. Her obsession with him, is tied to her own insecurities and desires for being accepted.

3. Prince Varian

Varian is Rapunzel’s little brother. He’s actually Arianna and Quirin’s son, but Frederic raised him as his own. Both are ignorant of Varian’s true parentage, with Varian just believing Quirin is his bodyguard/mentor. 

Yet with the return of his long lost sister Varian feels even more out of place with in the Castle and keeps sneaking off to Old Corona to visit Quirin, who is now a retired knight, and to work on his experiments in secret.

Only the truth comes out after a horrible lab accident that traps Quirin in amber, and now Varian doesn’t know where he belongs.   

4. Eugene is raised by Hector

Horace knows who he is and his duty to keep the moonstone safe. He has rarely traveled beyond the great tree. But he begins to question his entire place in the world when a group of travelers come in search of his family's treasure, with one of them claiming to be the living embodiment of the fabled Sundrop.

Since Eugene/Horace never left the Great Tree, he never became Flynn Rider, never stole the crown, and never met Rapunzel in the tower.

This means Rapunzel never leaves on her 18th birthday to see the lights, but her tower is destroyed by the black rocks six months later. Leaving her and Mother Gothel without a home.

While in search of a new place to live they meet, Varian, who is trying to figure out the mystery of the rocks, Cassandra, who is searching for the lost princess to prove her worth to her dad, and Lance, a thief who offers to be their guide in order to hide from the Stabbingtons who he owes money too.

The five of them go on a quest to find the moonstone when Varian shows them the piece of his father's scroll (who is not trapped in amber this time) much to the discouragement/disapproval of Mother Gothel.

Gothel tries to dismiss the legends of the moonstone while keeping her and Rapunzel's identities secret. (Everyone figures out she's the Sundrop/connected to the rocks right away, but not that's she's the lost princess) But as she can't be too far away from her precious flower for too long she gets dragged on the quest anyways.

Cue Gothel reluctantly becoming everyone's mama as she tries to keep them alive and convince Raps to give up this silly quest and find a new home, while also not letting it slip that she's really Cass's birth mother, nor the thief of the long lost princess, nor an ancient sorceress who betrayed a powerful demon in order to have eternal youth and said demon could come back to kill them all if released by the Sundrop touching the Moonstone.

Basically what I'm getting at is we have a scenario where a manipulative asshole who is desperately just trying to survive while not being caught in her web of lies, is slowly coming to care for a bunch of snot-nosed, bratty, insecure teenagers, and she hates it!

This also means that by the time the gang reaches the Great Tree, Rapunzel's and Eugene's roles are reversed. She's the experienced adventurer using him, though unintentionally on her part, to get what she wants, while unexpectedly falling in love, and he's the sheltered shut in who discovers that there's more to the world.

And just to complicate matters, King Frederic, Quirin, and Adria, team up to invade The Dark Kingdom in order to destroy the moonstone with Adria's sword. Quirin betraying his brother Edmund because he thinks Varian is dead from the rocks having destroyed their village/castle in the night.

5. Cassandra is the Dark Princess

I mean, I think this should have been cannon anyways, but Cassandra and Eugene are long lost siblings. Both are heirs to the Dark Kingdom and it's their mom who is left alive to guard the Moonstone.

Said Mom thought they were both lost when the kingdom fell, not knowing that their nurse saved them on the night Edmund went mad.

The Queen convinces Cassandra that protecting the moonstone from the Sundrop is her duty, believing that both coming together will destroy the world. Not realizing that Cass would actually grab it away from Raps in their fight over it and become possessed by Zahn Tiri in the process.

got any niffty facts? 👀

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

Nifty, considering she died at 18, is really childish. She tries to act older than she is but because her brain never got to fully develop she doesn't understand why everyone treats her like a little kid. She especially hates it when Angel babies her.

Nifty's favorite person in the Hotel is KeeKee.

Nifty likes to play matchmaker. She likes to take people in her life and ship them together. No one minded until she shipped Mimzy and Angel together because they are like parents too her. Alastor did not appreciate this. (I hope you are confused by this.)

Nifty listens to Elvis.

Nifty really likes Mimzy.

Nifty can't remember her parents but she knows she misses them.

Nifty wears herself out easily. Because she runs around so much and does so much, Nifty forgets to eat. Or sit down ever. Because she doesn't eat much and she runs around so much, Nifty kinda passes out whenever. The cast knows to look for her if the hotel is silent for 30 minutes.

Nifty does NOT like being babied.

Nifty really likes sweet things like cupcakes or chocolate.

Nifty's love language is gift giving.

Nifty is bilingual. She speaks Japanese and English fluently.

Nifty can't stand to be around sad people. Nifty doesn't like to be sad so she'll stay away form you if your going through something rough.

Nifty doesn't like kids. She'll baby sit then but she's scared if having her own kid.

Nifty is scared of heights. She can't stand mire than 10 feet of the ground. Angel tries to help her with this because he's over 10 feet. She's working on it.

Nifty like Twilight. She's team Edward.

Nifty is kinda nosy. When she cleans rooms if she finds your stuff she'll absolutely go through it. She's also not above picking locks to get to your things.

Nifty's favorite animal is a sloth. She likes how they look.

Nifty has alot of internalized misogyny. Considering the time period she grew up in and the role models she had, she can be pretty fucking mean to herself and other woman. (The main cast are empathetic to this. They know Nifty is young and that was just how she was raised. They try to unteach the toxic mentalities she has.

Nifty's favorite ice cream flavor is Strawberry with chocolate syrup with nuts and sprinkles.

Nifty has wings but she can't fly with them. Valerie is trying to teach her but she can't fly well. Husk has to teach both of them.

(There's not alot of them on here but I'm tired y'all. Live my girl Nifty but I need sleep. I just realized that alit of these facts have alot of lore.)

Moonlit Serenade (Remus Lupin x Y/n)

Remus Lupin x fem!girlfriend!reader

Main Masterlist here -> DracoLilHoe

Harry Potter Fandom Masterlist here -> HP Masterlist

Warnings: Female reader, use of Y/n

Words: +800

Summary: (1975) It is your fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the night of a full moon. Your boyfriend, Remus Lupin, is going to go to the shrieking shack tonight in order to keep you as well as the rest of the students safe.

If you find mistakes please tell me! I'm not a perfect writer so please just let me know. Happy reading! :)

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Hogwarts grounds as the school day drew to a close. You walked along the cobblestone path, lost in thought, the soft rustle of fallen leaves beneath your feet the only sound breaking the peaceful silence. As you rounded a corner, you nearly collided with someone hurrying in the opposite direction. "Sorry," you murmured, instinctively stepping aside, only to find yourself face-to-face with your boyfriend Remus Lupin. His tired eyes softened into a warm smile as he recognized you. "No need to apologize, love. Are you heading back to the common room?" You nodded, feeling a flush rise to your cheeks at the unexpected encounter. "Yes, just lost in thought, I suppose." "Understandable," Lupin replied, falling into step beside you. "It's been a long day." You glanced up at him, noticing the faint lines of weariness etched into his features. "It's a full moon tonight... isn't it." It was more than a statement than a question. Remus would always start acting differently the night of a full moon. He nods his face losing the beautiful smile you hold so dear to your heart. "I'm coming with you four this time." You say a determined look on your face. Lupin's eyebrows furrow as a frown appears on his. "Absolutely not!" "Remus-" "No Y/n. I'm not letting you get hurt!" You pinch your nose in frustration as you sigh. "Remus, you won't hurt me!" "You don't know that Y/n! I have no control in that state! I've hurt Sirius before I can't afford to hurt you too!" "Remus, please just let me help you!" "No. End of discussion. I'm not letting you get hurt." He begins making his way toward the shrieking shack. "I'll see you later." 

Remus continues his walk to the shrieking shack wondering if he should have just let you come with. "No, I did the right thing. It's for her safety." He mutters to himself as he makes his way up the stairs listening to the creaking of the old shack. Remus opens a door walking into a room. Sirius is on the bed staring at the ceiling. James is next to him leaning against the headboard. Wormtail is sitting in the corner a book in his hand. "Moony!" Sirus says as he sits up and stares at Remus. James looks up and notices the look on Remus's face. "Moony, you doing alright? You're acting different than usual." Remus nods as he looks up at the two boys. "You can talk to us, you know that right Moony?" "Yeah, I know." "So tell us what's wrong." Remus sighs and shakes his head. "I just... Y/n asked to come with us again. I kind of snapped and told her no." Sirius sighs dramatically as he rolls his eyes. "Why are girls so complicated?" "I just feel really bad. She wants to help, but I don't want to accidentally hurt her." "You should probably apologize when we get back," Peter says as he stands up throwing his book on a chair, "It's almost dark out." Remus sighs as he goes to sit on the bed. "Yeah. I should. Let's get this over with." 

A little while later the four boys make it through the secret passageway back to the castle. "You think she'll still be awake?" Remus asks as they walk the dark empty corridors. "Probably not. She usually falls asleep," Sirius smiles. "She's like a sloth." James chuckles as he says the password to the portrait. The four boys walk into the common room and see Y/n in an armchair by the fire an open book in her lap. "Well, Monny we'll leave you to deal with your girl," James raises his eyebrows up and down as the two other boys follow him up the stairs. "Have fun." Remus sighs as he admires you asleep on the armchair your hair falling in front of your eyes. He smiles as he walks over grabs the book from your lap placing it on the small table next to the chair. He puts his arm underneath your legs, the other holding your back as he lifts you carrying you up the stairs to your bed. He slowly places you down on your soft bed taking off your shoes and placing them beside your bed. He pulls the war covers over your body and kisses your forehead. "I'm sorry about earlier, darling. I didn't mean to make you feel upset," his hands go to your hair stroking it softly. "I love you. We'll talk tomorrow." He makes his way to the door turning off the lights. "Goodnight my love." He whispers closing the door. 

Little did he know you were awake the whole time. 

A/N: I'm sorry if something wasn't written accurately I've never done something on the marauders era before so my apologies! <3

I also rushed through this so sorry if it sucks!

Aella of the Whirlwind, Sin of Sloth

Aella was born and raised among the Nuns of a Monastery in the mountains after being abandoned as an egg, supposedly by one of her parents or so she had been told by the Nuns who would not disclose any more information to her. All that mattered to them was that she was one of their sisters now and would raise Aella as such, however Aella turned out to be a bit of a problematic child. It wasn't that she was bad, but it's possible that Aella had undiagnosed ADHD making it hard for her to sit still and listen in classes, excessively talks and asks questions that don't seem relevant, easily getting distracted and having trouble keeping on task, she is impatient when it come to things she does not enjoy, and had a tendency to wander off and do her own thing instead of participating in groups or doing her chores for the monastery. The Elder Nuns thought she was simply a lazy child but Aella does have a lot of passions and interests outside of her duties and lessons as a Nun. She likes to dance and perform, she is a little bit of a showboat and would make edits to her robes or decorate herself with flowers to distinguish herself and put on displays of acrobatics for the other girls especially entertaining the younger ones. The Superior Mother Nuns disapproved of her passions believing them to be shameful displays and going against their ideals and traditions of modesty. Some of the Nuns believed that the only solution to Aella's behavior was through strict disciplinary action, punishing her thoroughly till she learned to act right, but there was one particular Nun who spoke up in supportive of Aella, a Leavanny named Sister Clementine noting Aella's good qualities and believed that punishment was not only unnecessary but would do more harm than good. Sister Clementine was assigned to help keep Aella out of trouble, but also became friends with her. She encouraged Aella to continue practicing what she was passionate about, but also tried to find a middle ground to compromise with the Superior Mother nuns and make sure Aella did not wander off, finished all of her chores, and did not interrupt in class. Aella relented and tried to act in ways that the Nun's approved, but being given additional help made her feel like there was something wrong with her and drove a wedge between her and the other girls in her age group.

Some of the other girls caught on to Aella's insecurities and decided it would be fun to take advantage of her, convincing Aella they could be friends if she did things for them. One Night they told Aella she should get them all some food from the kitchen past curfew, Aella was hessitant and thought it was a bad idea but they peer pressured her into doing it, and then while Aella was sneaking into the kitchen the girls snitched on her to one of the Superior Mothers who took this as proof that Aella was a bad child and needed to be disciplined. Aella spent Four months being punished not only for the things she did commit but because the nuns believed they could cure her of all her problematic behavior and make her normal. Aella didn't know at the time she had been betrayed so she didn't tell the Nuns she had been put up to it by the other girls believing she was protecting her friends, but then as she got to see them again they wanted nothing to do with her.

This was finally the breaking point for Aella and she decided to sneak out of the confines of the monastery under the cover of night and head down the mountain in search of her real family hoping that the Nuns lied to her about being abandoned...Sadly nobody in the nearby village had any real information they could give in regards to her family. Aella couldn't stay too long in this village anyway and had to skip town, or else the Nuns would soon realize she ran away and send pokemon looking for her. Aella abandoned her Nun outfit and stowed away in a merchant cart to get from town to town. Outside of the monastery she was exposed to new philosophies and secular ideas, which helped her develop her own outlook on religion and on life. Aella still remained religious, but decided to follow the teachings of Rayquaza the Legendary of Air and Sky and his tenets of freedom and the idea that religion can be practiced anywhere by anyone not confined to temples or structured hierarchies, but in everyday acts of kindness from a stranger.

While wandering from town to town Aella would stop and make some money performing on the streets and sometime getting hired to perform as part of a group but never stuck with one group for very long, asking them for a ride to the next town and then splitting ways. The first place she settled for a significant period of time was when she discovered the Circus. She had seen anything like this and was dazzled by the sights, the sounds, the whole atmosphere of fun! She managed to get in good with the circus itself after helping a Popplio Acrobat named Tourbillon. Aella decided to stay on and joined the circus troop as an acrobat alongside Tourbillon and the two of them became very close. Several years later she evolving into a Servine and Tourbillon had evolved into a Brionne, the two of them had become something of a starring act in the circus and he was planning on proposing to Aella after their next performance but Aella had realized she had made it back around to the village outside of the Monastery and the thought of the Nuns still searching for her brought back some repressed trauma. She tried to keep it in check and get through this performance hoping they would not recognized her now, but then she saw Sister Clementine watching her and in her moment of panic she messed up the routine and got Tourbillon hurt badly from which he might never fully recover. Feeling ashamed she fell back on what she always did and ran.

While wandering again she would find and join up with the Seven Deadly Sins as the Sin of Sloth. Her main weapon is a Magic Spear bestowed on her by her god Rayquaza that allows her to soar in a straight line over long gaps and harness the power of the wind. She is also capable of transforming into an Avatar of Rayquaza for short periods of time and access divine power over the Sky as a result of her involvement and Loyalty stopping a plot of former Rayquaza followers turned cultists who attempted to kill Rayquaza.

A lot of the books I got rid of in the older tabs were contemporary genre, and there's not a whole lot of contemporary books I like. At least as a whole. There are exceptions but mainly, I find the genre boring. I feel like if it's contemporary, it has to be something really gripping or deranged for me to stay entertained. Murder mysteries and thrillers that are particularly messed up (I loved Butcher & Blackbird), Dark Romance (Adored Haunting Adeline and everything else I've read so far from H.D. Carlton.)

(Also just side note, a lot of the older books listed in my list reminded me of bi erasure and how its alive and well. Bi characters are always listed as lesbian. It's so stupid. Anyway, rant over.)

Books I found that I forgot about (That sound amazing!!)

Spice Road

Off With Their Heads

Dragonfruit

The Lunar Chronicles (I always forget about this series but it looks really awesome, and really want to give it a go)

The Heir of The Beast (I keep missing being able to read this.)

I now have 490 on my list, I may go through it again. Cause there's still a lot on the list. If I go through it again, I'll edit this post. If you've read any of these books, and you think I should reconsider, please let me know!., , ..0 (Greetings from my cat apparently)

[giggly-squiggily]

I am a nagireo and a kunigiri girl all the way but NAGIRI HEAR ME OUT

Nagi teases chigiri all the time with like quick squeezes and little tazes that just made chigiri fall to the ground ALL. THE. TIME.

CHIGIRI GETTING BACK AT NAGI FOR THIS PLS

Thank you so much!

I decided to combine these two cause while NagiReo and Nagiri are great, have you considered....ReoNaGiri? kjarkjaejkrekjjkr Really- both these prompts were begging for a trio, so here we are! I hope you like it! :D

Cloud 9 (Taglist peeps):

@myreygn @cupcake-spice13

“Surprise.” Nagi’s hands were on his waist before he could react, pressing in.

“AH!” Chigiri squawked, knees buckling as he hit the ground. “Nagi!” Behind him, the white haired player snickered, voice hushed behind his hand. “Why do you always do that?”

“Cause it’s funny.” Nagi reached down, poking at the back of his ribs and earning even more giggles and yelps from the redhead. “You're so ticklish right now and I’m barely touching you.”

In the background, Reo watched with curious eyes as the pair interacted. He really should be more mad about it- after all; Nagi found himself a new best friend-

Stop it. The little voice in the back of his mind told him firmly. That’s not fair.

Reo sat back some, shamed by his own jealousy. It wasn’t as if he didn’t like Chigiri; their time during the second selection, short as it was, had been great. Nowadays he’d consider him a friend. 

 As for him and Nagi- while they weren’t quite where they were before, they were on speaking terms again. Things were a bit…awkward, but the addition of Chigiri being their new roommate helped.

Still- some days he felt a bit of an ache watching him and Nagi. They looked so natural together- two souls destined to meet. And Reo..

Reo was the one left behind.

“Ah! Nahahagi, stahahap!” Chigiri yelped when he was tossed onto the single bed, pinned by the other boy. “Gehhehet oohohohoff, yohohohou jerk!”

“Nah. I feel like wrecking you today.” Nagi had him properly trapped, fingers digging into his sides and ribs with reckless abandon as the redhead squeaked in mirth, punching at his shoulders. “Get ready to die, Princess.”

“Shiihihihihihih- Reheheho hehehehehelp!” The shout for his name made Reo look up in shock. Did he just…

Nagi looked back at him, expression curious. There was something inviting in that look- a challenge perhaps? Reo considered as he tapped his legs.

“Hmm…nah, I’m good.” He decided, sitting back. “Good luck, Chi.”

“Trahahahhaitor!” Chigiri called, covering his face with his hands as Nagi kneaded his lower ribs. There was a slight droop to the other’s shoulders, but Nagi seemed to accept it as he turned back to Chigiri.

“Nagi’s ticklish, by the way.” Now it was Nagi’s turn to look shocked. Reo smirked.

“Reo-” Was all he got out before Chigiri had him by the shirt, pulling him down into the bed. A wrestling match ensued, Chigiri fighting off hands going for his sides while Nagi struggled not to kick his back knee. Within a matter of moments, the redhead had him down, squeezing his sides with rapid speed. “Ah! Chihihihgiri!”

“Gotcha now! Hehehe!” Chigiri snickered, pleased with himself. It lasted a solid two seconds before he was back on the defensive, Nagi’s long arms shooting out and grabbing his sides again. “Oh cohohohome ohohohohohohohon! Nohohohoho fahahhair, yohohou dahahhamn slohoohohohth!”

“I like sloths. They move fast in the water.”

“Bahahhaharely! Aheahhahaha, Nahahahgi!”

“What happened to tickling me?”

“Aehahahahhhahhaha!”

Reo shook his head, finally getting up from his spot on the bunks. “Chi- I love you, but you’re the worst tickler ever! How’d you miss all his good spots?”

“Ooo, Reo’s gonna play too?” Nagi raised a brow, something…hopeful in his expression. Reo decided not to acknowledge it before pouncing on them both, easily trapping one of Nagi’s arms in a lock.

“Go for the pits, Chigiri! The pits!”

“Groohoohoss. Okay.”

“Wait- Reo, Chigiri, pleah-ahhehahahahhahahhahse!” Nagi arched with a cackle at the feeling, squirming as the Chigiri racked his nails against the covered spot. Without Nagi’s invasive arms, he was rather good at this. “Whahahahhhait, nohohohot my pihiihihihits!”

“Why not? Does it tickle?” Reo cooed at him, his free hand coming around to knead the bad spot along his shoulder. “Coochie coochie coo, Nagi~”

“Wow, you’re mean. Kunigami wouldn’t stand a chance.” Chigiri snickered, something sad entering his expression at the mention of the other’s name. Before it could consume him though, Nagi jabbed him in the belly. “Ah! Oh that is IT! Come here!”

“Aheahhahhahhha! Yohohoohhou wihiihihsh this whahahahs my whoohohohrst sphohoooohohohot!” Nagi cackled, his arm straining against Reo’s grip as Chigiri carried on scribbling into his armpit. “Trhihihihiiiihihi agahahhahain!”

“Hm…yeah- he could be laughing harder.” Reo mused as Chigiri paused his assault, giving Nagi room to breathe. “Any guesses?”

“None. Doesn’t mean we can’t try to find them.” The redhead went straight to work, trying various spots to see what reaction he’d get. His sides gave a hoot of laughter, and his ribs were more giggly. His belly wasn’t ticklish at all- much to their shock.

“Hehehhhehe! Kehehehehep trhihihiying! Iihihihihih’ll neehehehver tehehehehhell!” Nagi declared, giggling and kicking as his ribs were poked and prodded at.

“No need. We’ll find it…” Chigiri hummed as he looked down, eyes landing on Nagi’s legs. Without any warning, he reached out and squeezed one.

“AHEHEHE!”

“Holy- do it again!” Reo declared, throwing himself across Nagi’s torso to pin him. Chigiri did as told, squeezing both thighs at the same time. Within moments Nagi was laughing like a hyena, completely incoherent as he grabbed onto anything and everything around him. In an effort to break free, he tried tickling Reo, but the purple haired player was determined to hang on. “STAHHAHAHAP, NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHEHERE!”

“Oh my god- this is the loudest I’ve seen Nagi yet!” Chigiri cackled, delighted. Reo snickered, both from the reaction and from Nagi’s insistent tickles. He added to the mess by kneading his ribs once more, turning Nagi’s laughter near silent. “Give up?”

“YEEHEHEHHEHHEHES!”

“Gonna stop tickling me the rest of the day?” Chigiri asked.

“YEHEHEHEHEHHES!”

“.....Are you sure?” Reo questioned.

“REHEHEHEO CHIGIIGIGI STAHHAHAHP!”

“Hehe, okay okay.” Reo laughed, sitting up. Chigiri released his legs, rolling away before he could be nudged by Nagi’s shifting foot. “I guess we can let you live for now.”

“Bahahd…choohice.” Nagi groaned. Before Reo could ask exactly what that meant, Nagi had him around the waist, pulling him down and tickling his hips with reckless abandon. “Take this!”

“Ah! Nahahhahahahhagi! Chihihihihgiihihihiri hehehehelp!”

“I’m on the way!” Another body joined the mess. Soon the room was filled with laughter once more.

~~~

“You know…I’m kinda glad everything happened the way it did.” Reo spoke to no one, the pair passed out against wrinkled blankets and disarrayed pillows. “I’m still mad at you…but if we didn’t do this, I wouldn’t have met so many other great people.”

He reached out, hesitant before he put a hand on Nagi’s head, brushing his bangs back with a thumb.

“Maybe…we can make this work. But only if you want to.”

No response, not that he expected one. He went to return to his bunk but an arm around his waist kept him there.

“I’d like that.” Nagi whispered, eyes still closed. Something in Reo’s chest was released.

“Me too.”

Thanks for reading!

Neighbor Series: Ch. 4 Part 1

A Delicate Ecosystem

Carmy and Syd are moving along like a couple of precious baby sloths. However, people are beginning to talk. Will it destroy the vibes between them or with the restaurant crew? Here's part 1.

"Carmen…is that tellicherry pepper?"

Sydney closed her eyes savoring the egg muffin stuffed with prosciutto, aged parmesan, basil and delicately seasoned with sea salt and ground tellicherry pepper. She was in foodie paradise and had paused on the sidewalk to fully enjoy this treat.

"Oh, you like that, huh?" Carm answered having his own special moment watching her enjoy his food. Ever since they started their planned, instead of "coincidental" walks to work he sometimes made a handheld breakfast.

He took a bite of one his muffins and yes, it was something.

They resumed walking and just before entering The Bear, Carmy offered Sydney the last one.

She greedily eyed the muffin, but shook her head.

"No, you've had like one and I had three!"

"Hey, Sydney, I'll take it!"

Fak came bouncing towards them, his hand outstretched.

"No, I made it for HER, Fak. Besides, I can smell peanut butter from here. You've eaten."

Sydney laughed and went inside stuffing the last muffin in her mouth.

"Carm, this isn't a nice side of you. This is totally Stranger Things season 1. Don't forget your old friends!"

"What?!"

"Sydney is Eleven, you're Mike (on the show, not your brother), and I'm Lucas, who've you tossed aside for girl!"

Carmen who only watched cooking shows and for whom this stupid conversation was far too early, rubbed his eyes.

"Fak, why are you here so early?"

"Natalie asked me to come in to fix the to-go window. The rubber casing is coming off."

"Well go do that."

"Okay, but you're totally Mike."

For lunch it was Tina's turn to prepare family service and it was incredible. She made her family recipe, monfongo with shrimp.

A golden silence fell on the crowded break room as everyone ate gratefully. Everyone except Carmy and Sydney. They had taken their monfongo to a booth in the front to discuss an offer to be featured on a popular food tour's fine dining route. It would be a financial loss upfront because they'd have to open an hour early on tour dates to accommodate the groups. Also, they would have to serve them small versions of signature dishes at a price that would at best break even. However, food tours were excellent marketing. Often culinary enthusiasts and tourists look up food tour guides to plan their dining experiences and skip the tour part altogether. Normally, Natalie would have joined them, but she was working remote 3 days a week to be at home with her baby.

In the break room Richie primly wiped his mouth, checked his sharply pressed dress pants for crumbs and washed his hands. Ever since he staged at Ever he'd become fastidious with his clothing, hygiene, and helped Natalie with HR concerns...in his own way. The crew jokingly called him Mr. Richard now. Then he went to look for Carmen. Uncle Cicero had messaged him with a request they cater his cousin's daughter's engagement party next month and complained that Carm hadn't replied to his texts all morning.

He found them unnecessarily close in a booth that could easily fit 4 people. Sydney sat facing forward explaining something on one of the many papers spread out before them. Carm was nearly in her lap, sitting at 90 degree angle towards her, his left arm on the table boxing her in, looking intently at her profile instead of the paper. He must of said something funny because Sydney looked up at him and began laughing. Then to top off this gorgeous scene he pointed to an invisible speck of food on her chin and gently brushed it off with his thumb.

For a whole minute Richie stood there wondering when they would see him. This situation was getting rapidly getting out of hand. He had long since clocked that Carmen had a crush on Sydney. It had somewhat faded during the Claire era, but it reemerged stronger than ever afterwards. As one of the few real adults in charge, he knew that he would have to reign things in. The one time Sydney quit Carmy had almost let The Beef burn down. If this puppy love imploded…Richie didn't even want to think about it.

He walked right up to the booth and they finally noticed him.

"Hey Rich, what's up" Carmy asked.

"Uncle Cicero has been texting you and asked if you could call him. Now preferably."

"Alright. Sydney, we'll finish this later?"

Sydney nodded and said she needed to check with Marcus about the featured dessert special tonight. Carmy took their plates and went to the back to call Uncle Cicero. As she started to get up Richie beckoned her to sit down. He was silent for a moment. A long moment. Sydney leaned back and folded her arms. The new Richie was far more competent and tolerable to work with, but their personalities still clashed on occasion. It was fun sometimes. She wondered what lecture he had prepared for her today.

"Got something on your mind Richie?"

Richie smiled benevolently.

"Sydney, you are invaluable to the team. You put in the time, you know almost as much as Carmen about culinary stuff and you've got passion. Too much sometimes, but nobody's perfect."

"Uh…I appreciate that I guess".

"However-"

'Here it comes" Sydney said grinning.

"We have a delicate ecosystem here and the key player in this ecosystem is Carmy. If anything or anyone is a big enough distraction the whole thing could be wiped out."

Sydney rolled her eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"Look, you're a smart girl. It's obvious that Carmy has thing for you and it looks like it might be mutual. If you start screwing him and things fall apart, how do think he's going handle it? It we stay on track we might be able to pay off Cicero early. If NOT, then we could all be screwed and not in the good way. Would you keep the shop closed at least until then?"

Sydney folded her hands on the table and considered how to respond. She could curse him out for being a misogynistic, tactless moron or she could ignore him. She decided on the latter. There was no reason to taint an otherwise great day.

"Well, Richie I've thought seriously about what you said and if you ever come to me with this again you might get a matching scar on your other butt cheek."

With her most serene smile she stood up gathering her papers and glided through the kitchen doors.

Richie shook his head. Well, he tried to warn her.

☁ Angel ☁

Belphegor × fem ! Reader

♢ Y/n is an angel who left heaven and decided to stay in the Garden of Eden once the Celestial War was over . ♢Obey me fluff☁

----------------------------------☁-----------------------------

----------------------------------☁-----------------------------

I tried my best to make it a belphie x g/n ! reader . But it didn't work out so well........😔

☁art belongs to me

☁artwork is made using Ibis Paint X

Maybe I'm crazy , maybe I'm weak

Maybe I'm blinded by what I see

You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me

Cause I could never set you free

So fly on your own

It's time I let you go

----------------------------------☁-----------------------------

Y/n is an angel bound to Heaven . Another pitiful creature....but she's no ordinary angel .Y/n has a secret .

She is terrified to leave The Garden of Eden . After the Celestial War she never once left that tranquil garden . To others , it seemed like she was a dove in a birdcage .

After he left , she never smiled not once .

After he fell , her wings became glass and shattered . After they were condemed , her heart broke .

" Belphegor ....... "

The h/c girl sighed , petting a squirrel while blue flowers surrounded her . The garden reminded her of home ....Heaven , before the war . Before Lilith died and the brothers fell . Before Belphegor left .

No longer an angel , he couldn't see her like he usually used to . No more napping near the grassy waterfalls , no more sneaking flowers into her h/c locks . No more ...... seing her smile .

The smile that always managed to lift his spirits .

He resorted to sleeping all the time .

Lazy . Immature . Slothful . Useless .

That's what he was being called but he couldn't care less because , it was only when he was sleeping that he could see the glow of your e/c eyes being illuminated by the sun's rays as they gently kissed your face .

It was the only way he could still see you .

" Y/n ....... "

----------------------------------☁-----------------------------

He sighed , a long , exasperated sigh that caught the attention of his older brother Lucifer and his friend, an angel , Simeon .

" He really misses Y/n , Simeon "

Lucifer sympathizers . You were like a younger sister to him . He noticed how Belphegor would be much more pleasent when you're around .

" Is there no way for him to meet her ? "

The man's red eyes softened at the sleeping demon to the side of him , slumped over the library table .

" There might be a way but I'm not sure . Y/n hasn't left the Garden of Eden since the war ended . "

" .....Why ?.... " , the two males turned around to see the blue haired male rubbing his eyes .

" ........ "

" ........ "

" Why hasn't she left ? She should be happy that the war is over . She should be married . "

They said nothing . The frustration of the violet eyed demon grew and the room .

" Your idea ? "

" His birthday is coming up ! Yes ? "

" I see . " , the eldest spoke with a smirk .

☁ A MONTH LATER ☁

" Happy Birthday Belphie ! ! " , everyone shouted .

The male was taken back a bit , by the sudden cheers and the fact that his twin decided to spend their birthday separately . Like since when ??

Mc and Beelzebub walked up to Belphegor and handed him a blindfold .

" .............. "

" WEAR IT !! " the two shouted .

After what felt like an eternity the man felt solid ground . As the blindfold dropped as Lucifer , Mammon , Satan , Asmodeus , Leviathan , Beelzebub , Mc , Diavolo , Barbatos , Simeon , Luke and Solomon . In that order . Smiled and shouted another Happy Borthday as they stepped aside , the large golden gatesopened and a figure walked towards him .

Instinct , he turned into his demon form .

H/c hair swayed gently with the breeze as e/c eyes sparkled with a longing for something or , rather , someone that was clearly evident . Two pairs of white wings veiled her back and her head adorned with a halo .

" Belphe - "

" Y/N I MISSED YOU SO MUCH ! "

The demon teleported to her , crying and hugging her tightly . The girl placed her hands on his face and ......... smiled .

That smiled made Belphegor's heart leap , he swore that he felt his heart do a backflip .

" I'm sorry I left you . I left and now I'm a demon . A mons- "

" You're still my angel . "

He pulled the h/c girl closer and kissed her . Kissed her like if he didn't, if he let go - even a little - the whole cosmos would end . The sun would implode and kill every living creature that God created .

Tears formed in their eyes , as they opened them simultaneously. Not even letting go of each other as the sun set behindthem , a hue of orange , yellow and pink streaks parading and painting the sky and the clouds pastel colours , giving even the best fantasy pictures ever painted , last place .

" Please............. I want you to - "

" Y / n ....you know ...Sometimes I envy the Sun's rays . For they can kiss you , for they can kiss you the way ... I wan to kiss you . "

" And with that , Y/n . I give you freedom to be with the one you love . Even if it is a fallen angel . I do not appreciate my child being sad . So go . Follow your heart . "

Helluva Boss s1e8: first impressions

The visual style for this episode looks really different from usual, based on the teaser images.  I don't mind it, but I do wonder why. 

-  Loona's phone image for Blitzo makes him look like a squashed frog.  :) - Loona's so nervous, I feel for her.  (Did she have anyone to help her pick out that very nice dress? Probably not.) - Oh, I think I get it.  The look is so different because it's the Envy ring. Yellow sky tinting everything, on top of the architecture and whole general vibe.    Greed, Lust, Wrath and Sloth had their own styles too but none of them made me instantly go "oh wow we are NOT in Pride" the way this does. - (Will this make the people who complain about "too much red" any happier? Don't be silly.) - Loona's tension is shown so well. Her posture, the way she's clutching her arm and clenching her fist, the way her smile doesn't just drop as soon as Tex is out of sight but turns to active unhappiness.  She doesn't even sound glad at the prospect of a drink, when we know she drinks frequently on the job. - Oof. How many times has she tried to fit in to hound social groups before, that the Mean Girl finds her so memorable? - Ooh, yeah, living with Blitzo does not exactly give one a reliable sense of acceptable language, does it.  - Oh I SEE,  "Bitch" in hound circles is one of those weaponized “selectively problematic” terms.  Can’t imagine why the writers would have that concept in mind.

- Is that a major demon sigil? Sure looks like it. So we may get to see the ruler of this Ring.

- Right, it's Gluttony, thus the food theme. - Loona’s totally unreceptive to the song and actually looks betrayed to see Tex so into it. She’s hunching into herself defensively as though she expects to be attacked.  Does she know this singer? - I thought the singer was a hellhound at first, but she has to be a sinner. Hounds don’t have extra arms.  (Do I even want to know what she means by "making honey"?)

 - Can anyone make out what Loona is mouthing at 4:41?  She is REALLY not happy with this song, and I have to agree the force-feeding is a bit disturbing, and has me wondering if the treats are drugged.

- Okay, Loona, I'm on your side in general here, but you don’t have moral high ground to be disgusted by crude remarks. Your moral ground is practically underwater. - Bee does seem friendly, and not intentionally patronizing. In fact she seems like everything I would have thought Loona wants to be - confident, glamorous, popular, decadent.  But instead of fangirling, Loona’s defensive and borderline hostile. - Bee sure does like to name-drop.  She must be a pop star like Verosika if she’s able to hobnob with Belphegor and Satan.  - SHE’S Tex’s girlfriend?   Ooooh.  Dating one pop star and bodyguarding another. Maybe I'm beginning to guess how some of these people know Blitzo. - Does Loona maybe realize that she has a problem with alcohol, and that’s part of why she’s so unhappy and convinced she can’t stay despite the welcoming vibe from Tex and Bee?

- Ah, Blitzo. Finished his cry, changed his shirt, got himself some ice cream and settling in to sulk all night on the couch. A very relatable post-date strategy.

- He doesn’t hesitate an instant when he sees Loona needs him. Nothing but concern when he greets her either, not even a hint of annoyance or guilt-tripping at the inconvenience.   Good dad.

- Interesting, this guy seems to like and admire Blitzo.  We're so used to thinking of him as a fuckup.  

- That was a lightning-fast 180 from "oh god please get me out of here" to "canwestaycanwestay", Loona. The power of hormones. Also she clearly feels much safer at the party with her dad’s support. - Blitzo does not look at all impressed or intimidated by Bee.  And he's so obviously happy to be in his element, doing something he knows he's good at, even if it's a gross something like binge drinking. - AWWWWW Loona being publicly proud of her dad!  He looks so happy! So dorky! So drunk.  Oh, Stolas, if you had only realized what he needed in that critical moment, flipped Asmodeus off and announced to the club that you love this imp and Verosika dear he’s clearly just not that into you because with ME he’s an insatiable stallion... if you’d done that, you could’ve had your beloved looking at you like this:

The face of romance, truly. - Bee and Tex suddenly look worried. I wonder why.  Are they actually concerned for his health,  or that he's upstaging her in her own club, or ? - Aww, they are concerned. They're both pretty decent people in their way.

- Whoa, she's got power. Is Bee something like an Overlord? - And Loona's ready to throw down with her - it's the sight of Tex looking unhappy that makes her reconsider. 

- pfft.  Okay, favorite line of the episode.  "I'm not fucking a Dennis tonight. I need a Monica or Alejandro in here, stat!"

- Loona being protective and caring. And really quite patient, considering. But she’s not going to sit around and listen to his woes and he doesn’t expect her to. -”Fizz was right, I’m gonna die alone..”  AUGH.  Blitzo’s mumbling confession of loneliness and despair. :(  It’s not just that he includes Stolas in his list. It’s that  M&M, Loona and Stolas are the only names in his list.   He doesn’t have anyone else left in his life, after the mess he’s made of his previous relationships. That was satisfying, with all the wholesome father-daughter moments I could’ve hoped for.  Good stuff. Catchy credits song, too...But no Hazbin cameo, so what was the reason for the delay?

.... Wait.  “Queen Bee”.  As in BEELZEBUB? Tex is dating a SIN?  Voiced by KESHA??? I literally did not figure any of this out until the end credits, and am sitting here flabbergasted.  If Stolas needs moral and social support for dating an imp,  he’s now got two high-profile examples of loving relationships across an even bigger class gap. This isn’t just thematic, I have a feeling it might be part of the plot before all is said and done.   The Goetia may be rigid snobs, but the Sins clearly aren’t.

King of Sins series review

★ King of Wrath (Book#1)

1. So I read this book after book 2, 3 and 4 and wow this might be my second favourite book in the series.

.2. MILD SPOILER THIS MAN GOES DOWN ON HIS KNEES FOR HER!!!! WHAATTTT??? AND BROUGHT SUSHI FROM HER FAV RESTAURANT SO TO HER OFFICE SO THEY CAN EAT LUNCH???? Damn

3. I love the character development. Something about ana Huang writing broody cold men just hits different. She just KNOWS how to perfect it.

4. THE ASIAN HOUSEHOLD TRAUMA yesssss. As an asian who has to deal with ALL OF THAT it felt so good to read what you feel on paper goddamn.

5. The first book of a series is usually not my favourite but this one was. It was amazing and I read it in one sitting. To say I was absorbed into the book would be an understatement.

★King of Pride (Book#2)

1. I love how their story starts off in king of wrath and then into this. It was hilarious.

2. This book was funny ngl. Also love Isabella's snake. Like yesss she slays.

3. KAI YOUNG BEING THE ASIAN CUTE NERD WAS NOT ON MY LIST OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE ME GIGGLING AND BLUSHING. his OBSESSION with latin translation 🥺 he's perfect.

4. I gotta say he was the only guy in this series who didn't disrespect his woman unlike the other king of sin men which is such a green flag>>>>

5. I gotta say this book isn't my absolute favourite bcs I just didn't FULLY love the vibe of it but yea it's a hundred percent amazing. I mean it's Ana Huang she outdid herself.

★King of Greed (Book#3)

1. Omg omg omg I think this has to be my most favourite this far. I was hooked from the first page. This was my first second chance trope book and it definitely served.

2. I love how Alessandra stood her ground and tbh her pov in the first chapters were kinda sad. Like girl I was pissed for her???? I was like don't u dare forgive him????

3. Love how Dominic got his shit together and actually realised his mistake. Like yesss I'm here for the grovelling.

4. The way I was absolutely obsessed with them is crazy. I don't wanna give anything away about this book because everything feels like a spoiler but I genuinely love how both of them worked out their flaws and actually worked to be together.

5. I love their love story and reading this book was crazy because I didn't know a side to pick??? Like both of their reasons were understandable???? So far my most most most most favourite couple. I've been trying to find books as good as this one with the same tropes. Also the way it's lowkey (super lowkey) kinda similar to the k drama queen of tears?? Idk just me idk but these two couples have my heart.

★King of Sloth (Book#4)

1. Okay I love a girl boss and sloane is one.

2. I love how obsessed Xavier is with her and knows little details about her that he gathered over the years by observing her.

3. Ummm without giving away any spoilers I just hope that the shoe was clean and new hehe ( I put the book down for 10 mins when I read it )

4. The grovelling was amazing and I absolutely love how he actually used his talents to do something and reach his potential.

5. The mommy and daddy issues were issuing.
