So my plan was originally to do these recaps every month, but that didn't happen. So instead, here's a reading recap for the first 6 months of 2024 in which I read 99 books, a concept that is still insane to me considering my goal for the year was 50. Pictured are my highlights, the god-tier books that left me screaming or the ones that I left feeling like a new person.

started this about 30 minutes ago but its a great read. Dnd style quest with a well defined party, and it’s newly appointed king x his mage advisor who’s also his childhood bestfriend. unfortunately it’s a miscommunication trope, but it’s really good thus far (160 pages in).

darlin' getting attacked by quinn while they're taking a late night stroll. he escaped his department cell somehow. they take him down but they're fatally wounded. blood everywhere, bones broken and fractured in every place imaginable and more. it's so bad that when the pack gets there and finds them laying in the grass, asher literally throws up. marie is on her way but sam and david are trying to help. it would never have been enough. david, sam, milo, and asher are just sitting over them, begging them to keep their eyes open.
"i took him down, sammy. all by myself..." they whisper, eyes focusing and unfocusing as they try to remain conscious.
"hell yeah you did, darlin'. tore his head clean off," sam responds, equally as quiet, "you did so damn good."
marie shows up then. and sam would never get the sound of his darlin's screams and cries while marie was healing them out of his head. or how they went deathly still when she was done.
they js fell asleep from the magic, it's okay i wouldn't kill them off (or would i?)
(bonus !!)
imagine darlin' waking up days later, still looping on all the healing magic in their system and they're just being sappy and giggly with sam. picture those "partner under anaesthesia" videos.
#i found this imagine in an old notebook from 2022 lol#as i read it i literally said “no bro leave darlin alone😭"#but this is a fun idea i love it#write/release the full fic???#lol#redacted asmr#redacted audio#redactedverse#redacted headcanons#redacted sam#redacted darlin#redacted david#redacted milo#redacted asher#redacted marie#redacted shaw pack#redacted angst#redacted fluff#kae's fics#kae's headcanons

i feel like part of the reason dwampy didn't want to make dakavendish a thing is because they're two characters they put a bit of themselves into (tho not the extent doof has a lot of aspects of dan's personality) and thus felt weird about making them a romantic couple. which i get!
but maybe they shouldn't have written them so gayly then
#'we need more close male relationships on tv' and what's a 40 year long marriage between friends#like. irl there are people who id time travel and save thousand times to the point i have an island of clones who run their own economy#that i have no romantic interest in#but there's SO many parts of dakota and cavendish's relationship that are hard no to read that way#even when you take your Shipping Goggles™ off ykwim#milo murphy's law#vinnie dakota#balthazar cavendish#dakavendish#cavota

A scientific consideration of cultural preservation in Gideon the Ninth
HYPOTHESIS: the Venus de Milo is in Canaan House
REASONING: John is keen on decoration (the rest of Canaan House, the Mithraeum, his fancy baby-bone crown). John has strong opinions on preserving things he considers ‘worthy’ (the earth, his friends, Shakespeare). Why not famous art? Canaan House is filled with old and rotting portraits - they can’t ALL be of Cyrus and Valancy.
EVIDENCE:
There was a single statue at the end of the corridor where it turned left. It must have once been a person, but the head and arms had been lopped off, leaving only a torso with beseeching stumps. - GtN p130-1 (when Gideon is looking for Harrow)
beseeching stumps?? It’s simply got to be the Venus de Milo. No stumps plead more tenderly:
But she has a head! I hear you protest.
Aha! Now we come to Palamedes and Camilla doing psychometry to figure out the age of Canaan House:
"Fiat lux! If you want to talk improbable, let's talk about this"-a scrape of stone on stone-"being three thousand and some years older than this." A heavy clunk.
About 3000 years older than another part of Canaan House? Hmm! And what’s that Camilla is holding?
“Standing next to him holding a big wedge of broken sculpture and the flashlight was a tall, equally grey-wrapped figure with a scabbard outlined at her hip.”
“The cavalier narrowed her hooded eyes, fidgets gone and absolutely still; then she exploded into action. She dropped the wedge of sculpture with a clonk, drew her sword from its shabby scabbard before the wedge had bounced once, and advanced.”
SCULPTURE!
CONCLUSION: the Venus de Milo IS in Canaan House! However, it was decapitated by known practical thinker and simp Camilla Hect so that Palamedes Sextus could do his carbon dating easier without tiring out his necromancer noodle arms
SECONDARY CONCLUSION: Camilla was going to use the head of the Venus de Milo to bash open the laboratory hatch
#read my essay boi#sorry but like if you’re trying to make something that will last forever and be beloved for all of your understanding of human history#then you might as well have an og around to inspire you#the og is the Venus de Milo just in case that wasn’t clear okay#camilla ‘cultural vandal’ hect#the locked tomb#Gideon the ninth#tlt#Camilla hect#palamedes sextus#meta#like#technically meta#in a very loose sense

i headcanon that like, 90% of the time, Phantom is The Town Hero™️, nice smooth edges, very consistently human-like and teenager-shaped with a bright voice and five-star smile (e.g. mostly-canon appearance). you can barely tell he’s even a ghost, really! and he absolutely does it on purpose, even if he doesn’t realize it at first. but his PR is finally good, he's got to be as nonthreatening as possible if he wants to keep it that way. hence the dress code.
but when his emotions run high and things get serious, i think Danny loses a little control over the shape of his ghost form; his teeth get longer and sharper, and were his fingers always claws? and the temperature drops and static electricity makes all your hair stand on end and you know you're in Danger. Phantom doesn’t have actual hackles to raise, but there’s green lightning crackling down the ridge of his spine and it can’t be anything but a threat.
whenever he gets like that it's always temporary, and people assume that "the stress made that sweet Phantom get a little scary but he'll be back to normal soon" as opposed to "the stress made Phantom stop pretending that he isn't always that scary"
#danny phantom#danny fenton#text#headcanon#realizing now that i can literally say whatever i want on tumblr#i said this in phandom discord a while ago but ive been rotating it in my brain since then#if anyone wants to take this as a prompt PLEASE do#i will read it and shower it in praises#milo writes

Omg, Helen using the "why don't you just piss on his leg if you're going to stake your claim so blatantly" line against Achilles is so funny. You just know Eros got drunk one night and told her about Psyche saying that to Aphrodite and she was so excited to have a chance to use it.

MILO VENTIMIGLIA as JESS MARIANO in the opening credits of Gilmore Girls
#jess mariano#gilmore girls#milo ventimiglia#jessmarianoedit#gilmoregirlsedit#my gifs#*#just thought it would be cool to gif this because we get to see the “you’ve read this before” moment from a different angle#and in the second one we can tell it’s a different take from the one they used in the actual scene because he’s not biting his lip 😂#(it looks funky because getting rid of that yellow filter was a bit of a pain in the arse)

Redacted Fic Ideas
[These are ideas I've had but writer's block has prevented me from actually writing, so I'm releasing them into the world so maybe someone else can write them :] ]
✩ Honey taking Guy to a concert they like - probably punk or metal and getting to teach him how to mosh
✩ Movie night with Freelancer, Gavin, and Caelum
✩ Darlin wrestling with Asher and Milo while they’re all shifted
✩ Ollie introducing Coworker / Mentor to his friend group - or telling said friend group that they’re a couple
✩ The pack setting up a surprise birthday party for David because he would never agree to have one of his own volition
✩ Angel and Babe trying to teach Asher how to cook because maybe David just tried teaching him the wrong way
✩ Elliott and Sunshine reunion - very sappy, very angsty
✩ Darlin explaining how important the term “mate” is to them and what kind of weight it holds in their relationship
✩ Camelopardalis checking in on Baby, just to make sure they’re still doing alright
✩ Asher tricking Milo and Darlin into watching a horror movie
✩ Hush trying to do research on humans and finding outdated, questionable material which leads him to ask Doc weirdly specific clarifying questions on things they’ve never even considered before
✩ Sam explaining to Fred and his progeny that he’s leaving the Solaire clan and offering to take them with him to be their new support system
✩ Morgan and the seer playing a game of Never Have I Ever / 20 Questions to get to know each other better
✩ Aaron making dinner for Elliott, Sunshine, and Smartass and getting to catch up with all the non-cult stuff that they missed out on
#I have so many thoughts#but me brain doesn't know what a sentence is anymore#also if anyone does write somethin based on these I'd love to read it#redacted asmr#redacted audio#redacted guy#redacted gavin#redacted caelum#redacted asher#redacted milo#redacted ollie#redacted david#redacted elliott#redacted sam#redacted camelopardalis#redacted hush#redacted fred#redacted morgan#redacted aaron#redacted honey#redacted freelancer#redacted darlin#redacted coworker#redacted angel#redacted babe#redacted sunshine#redacted smartass#redacted doc#redacted seer obscura#redacted baby
