#he wanted to borrow a book

[cardigan-bay]

Chapter 55 of my Hazbin Hotel fic that continues the story after Season 1 with a disturbing focus on Worst Person, Valentino.

Now what could The Radio Demon want with Valentino, in his bed, alone, at night?

today i found a book that i accidentally permaborrowed after a breakup in 2014 and which i have held on to since then. have not read it. my solution to get it out of the house was to offer it to a friend interested in the subject matter. this "feels better" to me than donating it but i think i've in fact figured out emotional money laundering

Aether waking Rain up with a cup of tea, Rain all bleary eyed and his curls are just wild - sweet thing only ever communicates in little chirps when he's this out of it and Aether loves every sound - sits beside him and lets Rain lean into his side while he drinks

It's that lovely mint blend Mountain spent forever trying to perfect for the water ghoul's birthday, he drinks it sparingly even though he knows Mountain would replenish the stock in a heartbeat but because there's something special about those dried herbs in that tin. It's the thought behind them that makes them so important to cherish

When he's done, he passes the mug back and leans up to kiss Aether as a thank you but like most mornings (especially the ones where Rain's feeling a little extra sappy for one reason or another) it's never just one kiss, neither of them ever want it to be just one either

There's a reason the two of them are always the last to the breakfast table after spending the night together

I don't know who needs to hear this but "borrower" isn't a catch-all term for a lil guy living in the walls. They are a species from a book series with specific lore on what they look like and how they operate.

Books of 2024: KILLING FLOOR by Lee Child.

This isn't a genre I typically read; HOWEVER!: my dream agent was on an episode of the Writing Excuses podcast about beginnings, and they said this one is Very Good, so I borrowed my dad's paperback copy to give it a whirl.

I'm low-key hoping this will help me sort out some Genre Issues™ I suspect I'm having with a writing project, too, which is a nice added bonus! Excited to see how this goes.

What was/is your favorite book series?

I feel like a parent being asked to choose who their favorite kid is lmao.

When I think of books that I keep re-reading I think of the The Immortals Quartet by Tamora Pierce in her Tortall universe. It was one of my first big fantasy novels I read as a kid/young teenager and I loved it. Daine is one of my favorite protagonists to this day.

When I think more generally I love LOTR even though I don’t re-read it often because of the length, but I just love the prose and detailed imagery. Reading Tolkien changed my writing style and I’d like to think I’m a better writing because of it.

I’m looking through Elliott’s dialogue to get him into character better, and I found this

“Oh dear! A tiny crab appears to have made his home in my shirt pocket. That's the trouble with living on the beach.”

Like? Canonically has shirt pockets? Farmer is going to take full advantage of that later.

okay so i get where a lot of the common interpretations of aligned orion pax comes from but also, I think everyone should know

in transformers exodus, orion pax sets up Librarian Fight Club (after getting inspired from watching megatronus fight)
