“Is that what I am? The Hyde to your Jekyll? This is just some kind of bedtime story and I’m the bad guy?! I’m the bad guy for killing the people you sent to shoot me and my sister in the back?!” Nyx tugged angrily at the collar latched around her neck, tears pooling in her eyes. “Heaven forbid I be exactly what you made me to be! Heaven forbid I use the claws you gave me!”

Caren arched an eyebrow and knelt down to Nyx. She gently cupped Nyx’s chin on her palm and wiped the tears off of her pale cheeks. “You’re no Hyde and I’m no Jekyll. I’m Frankenstein and you’re my monster. I never blamed you for being what you are. I only wished you’d let me guide you better into becoming the perfect weapon.”

“I’m not a weapon… I’m just a person!” Nyx’s black claws dug out from under her fingernails and she sunk them into Caren’s arm. “Bleed just like you made me do for years. You’re the monster.” Nyx opened her mouth barring her fangs.

Before Nyx got a chance to finish her attack, Caren simply grabbed a handful of Nyx’s hair and tugged her head back. “Don’t play games with me, angel. You won’t win.” Caren pried Nyx’s claws out of her skin and eyed the blood trickling down her forearm. “So ungrateful… I made you one of the most powerful beings alive and you lash out at me. Me, of all people, the only one who’s given a crap about you- despite how many you’ve killed.”

“The only person who’s ever given a crap about me is my sister- and you cursed her just like you did me!” Nyx slowly pried Caren’s hand free from her own white hair. “I hope you choke on all the blood you shed to make us.”

finally beating the illiteracy allegations

[theorahsart]

Hello, apparently it's Banned Books Week and I wanted to say something about it.

It's makes me sad that my book has become one of MANY to be banned in libraries. It doesn't affect me much personally or financially, but its scary/worrying because Ive been watching this ripple effect over the last few years, it's a reflection of increasingly visibly hateful attitudes in recent years, and we're starting to see similar protests against books and libraries here in the UK, along with the transphobic and queerphobic violence against those trying to stop these bans.

Pls help to stem misinformation. Pls go to protests. And support authors of banned books/share their books with teens and kids who might no longer have access to them!

honestly the fact that nico di angelo ended up happy and with a hot bf with a chest tattoo and weird demon kids is literally the best possible ending he deserves it all

you wouldn't know it based on this conversation but the landing party consists of ten security officers and some other ensigns who silently have to watch this nonsense

backseat doctoring/backseat driving:

pov you've been imprisoned by a sentient planet's immune system and one of your party has already been gruesomely impaled but you can't be scared when you're peeved:

Is it still considered pigtail pulling when you already bicker like an old married couple:

spock physically compelled to fire shots out of nowhere in a tense life or death situation bc his bones blinders went on again

again, literally a life or death minute by minute situation. poor Jim.

My hottest take in the pjo fandom: The lost hero >>> The blood of Olympus

The lost hero was a great book and Jason's pov in that particular book was more interesting than his povs in the other hoo books.

As I was looking for a copy for myself in English, I came across this one. This is from Slovakia.

I wasn't able to find Brisingr, but here's the other three:

At the local bookstore there’s a system where employees can write a snippet about their favorite stories and they go on the shelf under the book as a little endorsement. On the last visit I very quickly noticed that every book I’d loved in the past year was marked and I instantly trusted the employees.

Then I started bouncing along the shelves to see which books were marked that I hadn’t read yet and instantly put holds on all the ones I was unfamiliar with. I didn’t even read the synopsis. One upshot of this was discovering T. Kingfisher.

Nettle and Bone had a little employee card so I popped a hold on it. It came in a few weeks later and I adored it. The storytelling was beautifully done and I thought, okay, what else you got.

So I got my hands on A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking. I think I’d seen it floating around and written it off cause of the silly cover. Fucking phenomenal, great storytelling, tight pacing, just overall wonderful. Read Thornhedge. Loved it.

So I just moved T. Kingfisher to my ���Always Read” list. She has not failed to delight with any of her stories and I’m now pretty confident that regardless of content I’m gonna have a great time.

Sometimes when I’m drawing and something doesn’t look right I just sit there for a sec and think “I forgot how to draw basic human anatomy” so then I retry for a million hours until it looks decent enough to me lmao

I also still don’t know how to to do clothing folds so I just kinda draw lines where I think they fit

To all of you who say Nico and Will are too cringe I would like to pinpoint these two things:

THEY ARE 15!?!? Who wasn't absolute cringe when they were 15? And on their first relationship no less!

This is literally a book for middle schoolers

And people are too used to the fanon characterization of them

Someone in my life decided to declutter their dragon age media so…got a pretty big reading pile ahead of me 😳
