Just hit 50,000 words in NaNoWriMo, meaning I won!

This is my sixth NaNoWriMo success, which is kinda a lot of novels.

I really don't understand this fandom. You want grace to go through more pain? We know from chain of iron that Tatiana beat her repeatedly, that she was pimped out to young and old men, and she was used as a mere doll by Belial, besides all the grooming and psychological abuse she suffered from Tatiana. She goes through a horrible interrogation, gets her power taken out in the most painful and horrific way, her brother completely forgets about her and her only friend dies. And you people want her to get her marks stripped? She explicitly says she didn't want to do what she did to James, that it was wrong, that she didn't enjoyed any of it. And as soon as she's free from Tatiana's grasp she takes the bracelet off him, bc Tatiana wouldn't be able to hurt her anymore (are we forgetting Tatiana hit her when her power didn't work on James?).

What she did was wrong, period. But it seems to me all the pain and abuse she's a suffered, plus all the things she did to help should free her from any extra punishment. Like, people act as if her life with Tatiana was fun when she actually says: the only thing that gave my life some meaning was Jesse.

People are so quick to forgive male characters, who do some shitty horrible things (obviously different from this particular situation) but then you have a girl, with one of the saddest back stories from tsc, who was used and actually regrets her actions and is changing for the better, and you treat her like a monster? Why is it so difficult to offer her the same sympathy you do to the white men from these books?

She's all alone, her mind is completely fucked up, and it's gonna take years for her to be in a good place mentally. Isn't that enough? After all of this, shouldn't they offer her some kindness? The books make it very clear that if she wouldn't have been under Tatiana's roof she would have never done something like this, she would have lived a normal life, been a normal person.

This fandom always complains about the Clave's treatment towards children and their lack of accountability and understanding, but then go and act the same way towards Grace. Why can't you understand that this is a complex situation? Not something you can reduce to black and white (like the book does). I've seen people have more sympathy towards Sebastian (you know the biggest villain of these books) than to Grace.

If you hate her so much just stop talking about her. Please.

Oh, the callout about the white men 🤭

It is truly heinous how people act towards Grace, isn't it? I don't have much to add to this because you have summed it up really nicely and I agree with everything you have pointed out here.

Frankly? Half of the people I saw hating on her pre-COT did so because of her "interfering with Jordelia" which was very ridiculous already, because if you're gonna dislike her, better be it for something that actually makes sense instead of shippy reasons, but oh, well. Fandoms are like that sometimes.

Would love if they didn't talk about her in worse ways than how actual evil characters are talked about, but it is what it is.

There are people with some sense at least, like you, dear anon 🙏

Some of my favourite lines that I've written lately

I've always headcanoned High Valyrian as a more poetic language, one that allows its speakers to really gain access to and voice their true feelings, and so if you've ever wondered why I've written it in such a "flowery" style, that's why

I also wish I spoke it so I could type it out as it deserves to be typed and not just in Italics :P

Dude, the original Nrvnqsr Chaos fight wasn't that long or complicated. All you needed to do was have Shiki stand there and be edgy and shit. You didn't have to go that hard.

But nah dude. Complex bombastic brawl with like 3+ reversals. A jobber vampire who's scarier than most Type Moon main antagonists. Arcueid gets a magical girl transformation for a minute there. Big character payoffs for Shiki AND Vlov?!?! WTF

Just found out the donut store around the corner has an all day/all night breakfast deal for any sandwich or breakfast burrito (mine came with avocado and it was actually a good size!) plus a drink plus a donut for 8.99. My life is forever changed

Watching Dungeon Meshi with my wife who knows very little about the plot and characters is so much fun because we get little interactions like this

Wife: Oh, Kabru is gonna knock them all out, huh

Me: 🙂

Wife: 😦
