9, 12, 14 for book asks?

9. Did you get into any new genres?

I got into memoirs, which I had sorta disregarded previously. I've really enjoyed the ones that I've read now (mostly ones focused on queer identity since I love that sort of stuff - you'd have thought I'd given it a try earlier but I thought they were boring/uninformative as a kid so I guess that just stuck with me).

12. Any books that disappointed you?

Drowned Country, the sequel to Silver in the Wood. I really enjoyed the the vibes and the characters and the story of the first one! But the plot of the second meant that it was a pretty different vibe (to me at least). I did not like it nearly as much and it somehow dragged, which was a let down.

14. What books do you want to finish before the year is over?

Mammoths at the Gates! It's Nghi Vo's fourth book in the Singing Hills Cycle (the first is The Empress of Salt and Fortune) and I'm a couple chapters in right now. I have so many other things too... but The Space Between Worlds is after that at the moment. I put it on my list a couple years ago and it just kept getting bumped down as I added books, so I want to actually get to it! I've forgotten what it's about now 😅 but sci fi and queer drew me in enough lol.

I have so much delicious angsty tragic fic written & planned that I’ve not ever posted & I’m trying to muster up the courage to simply post it but I’m shy!!

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part

Personally I'd rather see the entire Hollywood movie industry fall apart than the strike fail. Movies won't stop being made, they will just stop being sponsored by worker abuse, and if that means no more millions of dollars worth epics then so be it idc

EDIT: OK this is gaining way too much attention while being vague and hyperbolic and ranty so let's make one thing clear - I am NOT lauding projects which don't adhere to union requirements, this is about the fact that big studios pretend like they are the only ones who can give you entertainment and if they can't make projects, you'll be sad and bored forever, and also that the only worthwhile pieces of media are projects worth an ungodly amount of money. This is obviously a lie, since there have been studios that agreed to work under new union requirements, and that's what I mean by "movies won't stop being made" - there will always always always be projects, big and small, that won't ignore what unions have to say. And in a dreamlike hypothetical future where big Hollywood industry falls apart, other smaller and more manageable studios will rise to take their place, and they'll have a cautionary tale on what will happen to them if they try to push it again.
