Yeah though seriously- you might not ship Buck and Tommy and that's okay- everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it doesn't harm anyone- what makes it not okay is when you say things like you're being queerbaited- in a show that *literally* has a canon lesbian couple (where one half of the couple is a main character) SINCE the first episode of the show, that, 1) consistently, as a couple, have storylines that get resolved in a way that shows the writers aren't brushing the characters away, and arcs that show character growth.
2) NONE. NONE. Of the canonically queer characters have been harmed in a way that resulted in permanent death. And when they do get in harms way (which is inevitable- this is the nature of the show), it's done in a thoughtful way- their actions and risk of death/ injury WOULD add something to the plot/ storyline. Their loss would have an impact on us as the viewer. They would not be meaningless deaths. And aside from death, even queer characters who 'exit the main storyline of the show' but are otherwise alive, are still done with thought and care. I mean, (and spoilers for the first few seasons of the show,) Michael's storyline lasted (iirc) about 3-5? seasons. (We are not talking about meta events such as why they removed the actor from the show). He and his (named AND on-screen) husband, David, move to help people. His husband is literally a neurosurgeon. There was literally an episode revolving around Michael's proposal to David. Even after they've moved away, they're STILL referenced and talked about. They're not pushed away or ignored like the way some shows treat characters who aren't there anymore.
Josh (my bby fr), who's also been canonically gay since his first appearance, also has a arc that's real and very very relatable to most of us. The show takes it fucking seriously as well. And Josh is GOOD. Even as a side character, he's not reduced to the 'gay best friend'. As I said, he has his own storyline and arc, he has his own opinions, he's good at his job.
Aside from the main characters, imo, 911 also does a damn good job of showing that queer people exist. You might not like it because 'oh they're showing queer people who are in danger/ not happy/ dying.' To which I'd respond by saying that you're watching a show about paramedics. As much as we like to say this is the gay firefighter show (accurate lmao), we need to remember that there's going to be dark themes in this show.
I don't remember every call they've come across that involved queer people, but we for sure remember the 'we ever only wanted to go together' scene, with the elderly husbands. Yes it involves death. That's why we're seeing this scene in the first place- the engine wouldn't have to respond to a call if there wasn't a call in the first place. But it also fucking shows queer people growing old together and making a life for themselves. The opening scene is literally a montage of the husbands' relationship over the years. I don't know how many mainstream shows put that much fucking care in queer characters.
And then there's also the wlw couple in that car accident thing- not as significant as the husbands but like, that's the point, is it not? Not all their calls are significant- we don't even see all of them. The point is that they just show queer people existing as a general thing. It's not strange that the two women who were in the same car in a crash are both gay. There's no weird over-sexualised kiss. There's no show or mention or even hint of homophobia or confusion by the firefighters. It's fucking normal. So yeah. Do I ship endgame Tevan? Not at this moment. Do I like them together as a couple right now? Fucking yes. My personal opinion is that I like Buck and Eddie together more (at least for now), but why would I not ship Tommy and Buck right now? It makes no fucking sense not to. Buck is in a happy (queer) relationship, he's still figuring himself out as a bi man in his 30s, he's dating a masc man, who's past is messy and has since grown (oh look at that, another character arc revolving around a queer person), and they're clearly fucking happy together.
Anyway. I have a lot of feelings about this lmao. You want proper bi representation? Bro. I don't know what to tell you but you're looking at it.

is the best leader of the dcu or the "leader of all superheroes" superman? because i've seen many debates over batman, superman, martian manhunter, wonderwoman. but i always thought it would be nightwing! people say batman is the tactician and superman sparks hope in people and guides them, doesn't nightwing do both?
maybe im underestimating supes here! of course everyone loves and trusts him (who wouldn't?) but i always thought the "leader" of the dcu was nightwing
hmm. can't not put the titans (1999) #1 panel here:
Tumblr media
ok fr tho, i don't think i can answer this in a manner that does it justice because i've only read a limited number of superman comics. but my understanding of the JL dynamic, so far, has been that batman is the tactician while superman is the guy who's the moral centre— in a kind of head and heart way while wonder woman is the balance between the two— operating from a place of both heart and head.
however, the trinity defer to martian manhunter for leadership several times, even going so far as to nominate him for chairman in one of the JL runs after rebirth (can't remember the exact vol and issue and honestly, i rlly don't want to look sorry).
as for nightwing, he's definitely the ideal leader- there's tons of canonical evidence where all the titans look to him for leadership and several times, bruce even tells him that dick is meant to lead the JL, going as far as letting dick be a contingency leader in cases where the league falls (like obsidian age).
dick has usually done a good job anytime he's had to lead and he does make sense because like you said, he can be the best of batman and superman: head and heart. but personally, i don't think it's where dick would thrive (this is not to say he wouldn't do well— he would!!) but lately, i feel like dc has rlly been pushing him as the leader in big world events, which is good because i was getting real tired of nightwing being dumbed down and losing his competence but it feels a little... i don't want to say disingenuous... but something along those lines.
dick, imo, is sort of the heart of a pre-n52 dcu. here's an excellent meta that captures the kind of importance dick has.
also, there's a separate argument to be made about how dc started putting all of the bats in leadership positions when they saw how well received dick was as the leader of the titans but that's kind of a different tangent as to how the ability to lead is not a bat-trait but more of a person specific thing lol
tldr: look at these panels from martian manhunter (1998) #0:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think this is a very good encapsulation of the guy who should lead the league and what it looks like

Arcane act 3 spoilers under the cut. Just ramblings to get my thoughts out until my friends catch up
Im somewhat conflicted abt the ending. The character development, especially of jinx was really well done imo. In season 1, her personality felt very unstable (obviously) and I didn't know how they would make her an actual character but they really did. She feels solid, fully rounded. The sisters together was so nice. Though the death at the end? Kinda unnecessary imo. Don't like the trope of "villain" redeem themselves through heroic act that leads to death.
With viktor, I'm SO GLAD he didn't stay that kind of machine herald. I would've flipped my shit if that became canon. He had been so different from his original personality and felt so stripped of agency in season 2, that I would've been super mad. The organic metal type deal was a fun idea, but man, the hexclaw not really being one at all?? Just like, a third arm that probably only lol players connect to the hexclaw? Kinda whack. The cool saviour design is nice and all, but it didn't really feel like Viktor doing it at all. And him implied to go through hundreds of time lines where he saves Jayce, what, like suddenly coming to his senses and becoming a mage?? How does that make sense? He can't retain his memory all the time if he's truly reliving these events (bc then he wouldn't make some mistakes in the first place) so.. What, he blips in like Ekko into a parallel universe? Idk it felt weird that it's Viktor who's the mysterious mage from season 1
Related but on a more positive note, I'm insane about Jayce being the one to remind Viktor of his humanity. The one constant Viktor can't rationalise away. The doomed yaoi fighting each other turning to embracing in the astral plane to save the world? Incredible. Jayce would love Viktor if he was a worm, as long as he was still Viktor. I genuinely expected him to drop an "I love you" or something on the nose like that, but ig their whole thing is "partners". Also the floating around a fixed point together, the parallel to their very first success with hextech mirroring their last, in the end with them finally reaching each other? We love to see it. Even if it's barely explained
The Caitlyn and Mel vs Ambessa fight was so cool. I couldn't stop myself from making jokes tho like "the botlane duo vs the Toplane otp" bc. With Mel having shields and having been hinted at that she'll be a champion too, it'd be cool if she's a support mage. I'd love another one for my arsenal. I don't quite get her whole storyline with the black rose and the blood or whatever, but that one is left mystical enough that I can appreciate what we got.
Sevika being on the council at the end was Super cool (ZAUN RIGHTS) but also leaves me with way more questions. She's the only Zaunite on the council, and as we can tell still not trusted by a lot of them. I don't know how that would work out, but ig it's a good first step?
NO FR WHERE THE FUCK DID VIKTOR AND JAYCE GO?????
The rest are shorter thoughts, more random
Also SWAIN'S RAVEN CAMEO AT THE END local Swain Main overjoyed
I can't believe Vi and Cait fucked in a prison cell, hours (?) after Vi went through Another traumatic event. Godspeed lesbians
Orianna real!!!! I don't get How Singed did it but the cameo was nice
I do love this new jinx. The characterisation is so nice. The Arcane champs deserved a more rounded character take and I think by and large they got it (we ignore Viktor's weird corruption arc)
Anyway. I hope the viktor VGU won't make Arcane machine herald the base canon bc he sucks. Would make a cool skin tho.

“You made more than a mistake, Az. Now we’re all hurting because you—”
i am so glad it's finally been said out loud. And that it was Mor who said it because immediately I understood how she was feeling about the entire situation, which made me feel better about her being an asshat at the end of the last chapter. It's strangely therapeutic. As soon as Mor tells Az to shut up though, I couldn't help but start crying a little bit because you really perfected how I thought Mor would've perceived reader going to Eris-
“She could have come to any of us. It’s more than we ever had, and yet she ignored it. Then tries to pretend it away? I’m not immune to that. If she can’t even be bothered to care about my pain why should I give a damn about hers?”
-this line in particular ruined me (not to be too personal n emotional lol), as someone who grew up in a not so great home i can really empathize with Mor here. It's not healthy behavior but I can say that there have been times where I've resented the people in my life who didn't accept help after i had been desperate for it for years. I'm more emotionally aware now and have unpacked those resentments (THANK GOD), but it was such a visceral response to reading that line because it mirrored unhealed me.
The next scene with madja was the perfect balance to mor and azriel's...argument? discussion? idk. You really guide us well through the world which is something I really admire in your writing, it flows very naturally and it always feels like a very natural progression of events. (its just something i've noticed i struggle with in my own wips lol).
compliments aside, it was also really sweet to see reader's peace in this chapter. Madja herself being a very peaceful motherly figure for reader who we know desperately needs that kind of care right now, her sisters are doing great right now but she needs someone who's not family to prove that they do care about her and it will not change over a few mistakes. Which is something that Cassian embodies very well later in the chapter too.
Bas.... sweet guy :( i hope reader gives him the truth. Imo, i think he deserves at least a bit of the truth when she is in a better place to give it (she fr could've said she was at a friend's in autumn. bas doesn't need to know WHO). But Bas held up his own boundaries very well with reader as well and I'm glad that we got a little of his feelings on the situation as well as reader acknowledging she hasn't been a great friend recently. (it's valid tho she's been goin THROUGH IT)
Tabbatha... you keep saying you don't know how to portray cassian but i personally think you do him such a great service ESPECIALLY after some instances of cass's behavior towards nesta's struggles in her own healing journey. I really feel like he actually cares about reader herself compared to rhys who cared about feyre and her only. He makes an effort to get her to relax, which is something acomaf cass would've done and is the version of him i miss the most. And him calling reader out for keeping things to herself? I personally think she needs to be called out and take accountability for her own role in the healing process. He was the perfect person to push her in this scene.
The dinner scene also really resonated with me and my own childhood. As a kid growing up we NEVER ate dinner together, so reader's apprehension to going to dinner is so real, and Mor sitting across from her?
oh myyyy goodness, ik this chapter just came out but im already rereading hehehe im so excited for the next one
-🤠
If I’m honest with you, I wanted Mor to tear into Az a little more than she did? For her to fairly obviously and kind of viciously defend reader but I felt it would be weird for her to go that far, considering Mor is supposed to be feeling very betrayed and hurt by reader? I did have fun with writing Mor telling Az to shut up though 🫣 I even nearly italicised it 🫢😳
‘The next scene with madja was the perfect balance to mor and azriel's...argument? discussion?’
Oh I really liked writing the Madja scene!! I mean, kind of scary obviously, but I enjoy her character and it’s so nice getting to write someone being kind to reader? 😭 Particularly since a fair amount of scenes in cbmthy aren’t particularly lighthearted/high-spirited? I’m hoping to continue dropping scenes with Madja in here and there since it would be weird if reader’s checkups suddenly stopped out of nowhere? Also so she has someone to keep an eye on her who might know a little more about what’s going on with her physically and mentally from experience and studying other people/medicine?
‘(its just something i've noticed i struggle with in my own wips lol).’
This might be totally unsolicited/unhelpful, but usually for me if a scene isn’t working or I’m struggling to write it, I’ll either change the perspective or switch to something else entirely? Like the scene just after reader’s entered the kitchen with Cassian I was struggling with, which is why there’s that snippet from Rhys’ pov to section them up? I don’t know if that’ll work for other people, but it’s something I fall back on quite regularly so it might help you too? 🫂🧡💛
‘but she needs someone who's not family to prove that they do care about her and it will not change over a few mistakes. Which is something that Cassian embodies very well later in the chapter too.’
I’m so glad you feel Cassian read that way!! 😭 I’m kind of of the mind that Nesta’s still protective over her sisters and so that might occasionally stretch across to Cassian at times? Also I just feel like Cassian genuinely cares about people in a more (this might sound strange) innocent way? Like more carefully and tenderly?
I would have loved to write Cassian and reader as being good friends but because Cassian’s friends with Feyre I think reader would still always feel in second place and unfortunately it might hinder her more than help 😭
‘Tabbatha... you keep saying you don't know how to portray cassian but i personally think you do him such a great service’
I’m literally refusing to respond to this because I’m so embarrassed and flustered from the compliment 😶‍🌫️
‘As a kid growing up we NEVER ate dinner together, so reader's apprehension to going to dinner is so real, and Mor sitting across from her?’
Yes! And especially after she’s done something that so obviously puts her in a vulnerable position too? Now they all know that she was in a place like that I can’t imagine reader will feel particularly comfortable over dinner 😭
As for Mor, I think I’m actually going to be writing this scene tonight, so I’ll be interested to see what happens? (Because honestly I don’t 100% know how it’s going to go either 😭🫣)
‘oh myyyy goodness, ik this chapter just came out but im already rereading hehehe im so excited for the next one’
Babes oh my gosh I was struggling to start chapter 18 so did a change 🫢🫣
I had so much fun writing the opening scene to the next part and I’ll be so excited to hear some thoughts on it—if you or anyone has any thoughts on it, of course 🧡💛

Do you happen to have any ratiorine fic recommendations?
Only if you feel comfortable sharing, of course
rubs my evil little hand together. YEAH I DO 👀 tho i'm gonna be fr most of these are very popular so you might've already run into them :P
linking them weirdly bc i'm on mobile and embedded links break very easily so sorry abt that 🫡
https://archiveofourown.org/works/56063062/chapters/142393921 this one's my favorite! a fantasy au with really cool worldbuilding that's based on the actual lore of the game, a really interesting plot, and a fun take on their relationship! also ratio is an eldritch monster and it's very cool 👍
https://archiveofourown.org/works/56109820/chapters/142522330 another absolute favorite! mostly told from the pov of third parties and like, groupchats and message boards and the likes which is soooo cool. there are chapters written like normal fics tho! extremely funny, really sweet relationship between rtrn :3 (contains smut 🫡)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/54983053/chapters/139382746 plot heavy! i don't normally read amnesia fics but this one did it really well! there's a whole new planet with fun ocs and a really solid and engaging conflict!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/57039361/chapters/145062532 another trope i normally avoid, but this fic has done it really well and offered a unique take on it: timeloop! it does have a lot of angst and miscommunication etc but ofc a happy ending 😌 (smut warning yet again 🫡)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/55393765/chapters/140545177 a classic. lots of silliness. somewhat of a retelling of some little canon events but with the added context of aventurine fighting for his life (in a silly fun way i prommy)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/57150703 i'm gonna be fr. this is a smut fic. but it is so funny that i can't not recommend it. impeccable vibes. extremely silly
https://archiveofourown.org/works/54829129/chapters/138975511 on the flip side. this one is kind of evil (affectionate). really heavy angst. written in a very intriguing way. extremely beautiful and almost like, philosophical?? like it makes you Think abt morality of certain actions and discusses grief in an interesting way. will say tho aventurine is not here this is a whole fic of ratio coping with his death 😭
https://archiveofourown.org/works/55458112/chapters/140724229 this one! i have not finished yet! but it's really good so far and super intriguing, imo a really cool concept and written in a very unique way bc of it. tldr what if ratio was real like us but got into hsr as a character (except he knows what's gonna happen bc. he played it already. but wants to change the ending. i have no idea how to phrase it but the summary is there for a reason :P)
i think that's all i have for now! 🤔 i hope you enjoy!!! 😌🖤

[I did not intend to publish this post yet. It's a WIP. Clicked publish by accident. Just not removing it RN because I've got no other copy.]
How Chien Became a Dusk Guardian (possibly)
So it appears to be a bit of a mystery of how did Chien get to be a Dusk Guardian. At the end of the Prequel Comic we see her lying on the walkway, precariously under a massive passing crowd of people. Then, chronogically, the next we see of her is a recording of her being a Dusk Guardian. How did she get from point A to point B?
Goumang's crippling kid adoption addiction.
But no FR. I don't think Goumang's appearance was accidential, I think she was involved in the further events following what we see in the comic.
For one we have the very last statement she makes in the comic.
Tumblr media
So we know she was keen to know what Shanhai and Chien were up to. Even if her first priority here was seemingly preventing them from sneaking onto New Kunlun, the pair did not leave Goumang's mind as soon as they left her sight.
The clear tone of Goumang's command combined with an equally clear response from her subordinate of "Yes, your excellency" makes it IMO clear that someone from Goumang's guards actually did follow them.
They did not seem to have done a good job, as Shanhai and Chien appear to have dissapeared from sight. The guards seemingly only noticed them again when Shanhai caused a ruckus, though they did quickly recognise that Shanhai was the bot Goumang met, so it would appear these were the people sent to watch out for them. Or at least they were informed by these people to watch out for them.
BTW hats off to the amazing combination of skill, confidence and unpararelled genius of the guard that shot to kill into a fucking dense moving crowd and managed to headshot his intended target on first hit.
To get back to the point...
By this end of the comic we see Chien and Shanhai both in a very precarious position under the feet of this dense moving crowd. We do see sorta learn at the end what happened to Shanhai, they seemingly were thrown to the side in the end and after some time got collected and brought aboard New Kunlun. But this is definitely not how it went with Chien. Under the feet of a rushing crowd she was under a very strong risk of being trampled so I think she had to have been pulled out quite quickly. And well, we know that one of the Sols specifically ordered her guards to keep an eye on Chien. What do you do when a kid you're observing is in mortal danger?
So here we get to the point where I start trying to back up the joke about Goumang adopting Chien as a serious theory.
A straight-forward way for Chien to get aboard New Kunlun

I am assuming you don't wish to be tagged here bc icky topics on my long og post, but this is REAL. REAL REAL.
The ship would be fine if OW writers just made one change time wise???? No idea what they were thinking, it really feels like this was a later addition to Pharah's character rather than inherently planned for Pharah.
Which... okay! Ideas change, so do concepts and characters, but retcon the extra crap then! Augh. I feel bad for fans who are just trying to have a good time in fandom content only to stumble into the thorn nest that is "drastically important ow lore that you need a microscope to find" that completely butchers a ship out of the blue 🤓 like DOOD it is so time consuming to sift through, the only reason I have dove in is because my brain thinks omnics are neat:tm: bc robot media is a special interest. And don't get me started about the ow books... I can't imagine most people have read those, and I am not buying them so lol I am out of the loop there, too.
But to the point: I dislike "airdropping" identities in general, no matter the series. Either have it never matter ('they just are (insert thing)' rep can be good when done right), or have it properly incorporated into the story from the start: Tracer works because of her comic, it felt natural and well intended. aka pre plan it so wack contradictions or implications do not exist.
I understand creators trying to get around censors for LGBT+ rep but Overwatch is like. Already out there. Wayyyy out of the closet by now. No need to hide identities for a big reveal, it feels like trying to hype train the existence of well. Existing. Homo FOMO the corperation yells, hoping for big money from hype trains.... no thanks... I prefer my rep treated with respect. :,)
Fr they can just announce it alongside nationality and age when the character is first announced. Like imagine if they airdropped ethnicity-- Oh wait they did do that with Cole Cassidy confirming he is just a "very tanned Caucasian" LOL too late tho fanon has already adopted BAMF cowboy from Blizz anyhow. And tbf, I agree with common fanon there-- I always interpreted Cole as mixed heritage because of. well. Irl Cowboy history and cowboy movie culture? That's like. His whole THING. BAMF Spaghetti Western Cowboy, living in OW as an actual rootin tootin cowboy running into the sunset. As stated, fanon can be better than canon sometimes. Or fanon can be worse.
Anyways, I AM happy to see more LGBT+ rep, I am just very (side eye) at ActiBlizz because it's well. Actiblizz. No more needs to be said there.
Or... uh, as of recent events.... I guess microsoft-actiblizz??? ActiBlizzSoft??? Corperate titan assimilation does not bode well for authentic art creation imo. :/

(hypothetically) if someone 9who wasn't a part of it) wanted to write fanfic about the otterverse, any tips/things to avoid/etc you would give for characterization? (is characterization a word? it is now)
well first off i'd say feel free to skip over asks that arent relevantTo the main story; thres a lot of chaos and u dont NEED 2 include allOf it. particularly with more for-fun/less plot relevant bits feel freeto use um. wats da wrsd. creative liberties.yeah. also interperet events how u'd like things dnt ned 2 be perfect
ok first cfelix has nrvr done a thing wrongEver xe would die for cpaci. despite cpaci bbetraying her. cPaci is a lot like villain!branzy & rise!leo imo so take thatas u will (flashy and gay). cOtter is a tired college student. also they blamed themself fr the apocalypse. cEcho is the dnd character i wanted 2 be when i was 8yrs old. give them CoolVibes
i think for characterization of specific anons u would need 2 ask whoever played them bt if u dont know or justWant more info u can ask me about specific anons
just feel free toThrow in little visual bits that arent actually there and diverge a tiny bit from canon
if youre looking 4 resources @felicityphoenix5's pinned has a good amount of links, or u can go to @the-otterverse or u can scroll #the otterverse on my blog
id probably give u more notes butTypin gis hard rn sorry

Is Lorwolf fun?
i think it is! its obviously still very new so its a little rough around the edges in some areas but im really enjoying it so far
id say its much more focused on the breeding mechanic than the collecting one kind of similar to flight rising in that you cant really just go get wolves but you breed and buy them from other users (and theres wild wolves but those are rare (WHICH i like personally)). i also really like that theres a built in option to sell your wolves for stud so other users can breed them with their own. theres a BIG colour wheel and some nice coat types and breeds so far IMO theyre all a little samey but they arent like. identical which is good
the daily tasks imo are very fun. short and simple but theyre endless so you can just log in do as many as you want and leave. theres a like weekly event that you get "tickets" from doing the tasks in addition to earning currency which i think is cool. the events are tied to the minigames (fishing mining farming etc.). you can also earn a decent amount of the currency from them because theyre so quick you can do a lot IMO
the minigames are fun! i like the fishing and cooking best so far. i think the ones that have different levels you can unlock are a bit highly leveled (level 12 for fishing and mining before u unlock the next level) but its just the same sort of thing in a different area so i cant complain too much, just personally i would like to see it a bit different. i really like the cooking mechanic and i like that theres so many ways you can get food, and that you can discover and unlock more complex recipes. cant wait until they add more and i can play around with it :]
the campaign so far is REALLY fun. youre like exploring fighting enemies finding food etc. but theres also the actual "lore" and stories and NPCs and stuff that i think is really interesting so far and where it finishes up (theyre not complete so its short at the moment) im definitely interested in seeing more. ive done 2 of the 4 so far and theyre similar in mechanics (go fight x enemies/go find y number of items/etc.) but i think its fun. theres also a gauntlet where you just fight as high a level as you can go and get better rewards based on how far you can go AND theres a PVP option? but i havent done either of those
i havent gotten much into the apparel yet but some of its really fun AND i really like that you can do custom apparel. it seems kind of expensive to be able to make it in the first place which is understandable but a shame, but ive seen soem very interesting and creative things! i would like to dive into it a bit more once i have a bit more money but its all premium currency which i dont have much of yet
that ^ is one complaint i do have a lot of things on site are put behind premium currency while its VERY hard to get. there are ways to get it without paying for it such as selling things and custom apparel etc. and you can also "make" it with items you find but its very slow that way. i assume once the site economy stablises a bit more itll be a bit easier to come across but for now its not the best
you can also have companions little pets for your wolves. cute. you can play with them and they can fight with you in the campaign and you level them up and stuff as well. very fun
um thats about all ican really think to say so far... personally i am enjoying it! it scratches a similar itch that flight rising does while also having or expanding on features that ive seen a lot of people wish fr had over the years. plus theyre cute little puppys aw awwwwww

mmmh i have a lot of trouble translating things because imo none of the 3 languages i speak are like MY language? ITS DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN but like i don't feel as if im the best at any of them yk like i have trouble with all of them and based on past experiences, translation is deffo not something for me 😭 but i was going for something with communication or organization like organizing events or communicating with other countries etc.. i hope i can go abroad because France isn't the most open minded country but we'll just see 😬
soulmates 100% 🤞🤞 and ur so right aah that performance is absolutely fantastic,, sienna lalau’s brain is insane
it does sorta suck !! but i think i’ve accepted that at this point i’ve done what i’m able to do given the cards i was dealt,, and now w college decisions,, im gonna continue w that same attitude yk ? like whatever happens, happens, and i’ll do my best w the options i have !! i mean it’s def not ideal,, but im hoping that i can eventually transfer to a better school w a better program for my major of choice !! and atp it’s not like i can really go back in time and somehow pull myself out of certain bad situations yk ?
oo yea 100% !! and aagh wait that sounds so cool ??? imagine all the diff people ur gonna meet thru ur potential career omg,,,

2020, a year that will live in infamy. This list, some book series' or standalones that will live rent free in my heart for the next three and a half years.
Books that Got Me Through 2020 (so you can read them in 2021)
The Infernal Devices Series - Cassandra Clare
Tumblr media
part of the enormous shadowhunter series (the mortal instruments, for example, and you don't have to read it first but you can)
literally??? the best fuckin love triangle to exist?? ever??
like seriously I don't like love triangles but I'd murder for this one
wonderfully developed characters
WONDERFULLY DEVELOPED CHARACTERS
off the rails badass demon fighting pretty black haired boy
gentle and kind (half) chinese violinist that I would jump off of a building for that also fights demons
shapeshifting bibliophile girl that's trying to protect and simultaneously figure out her family bc her dad is probably a demon
like magic? fighting demons? vampires? warlocks? 19th century london? ANGST??? yeah read this
I don't cry over books but I cried over the epilogue of the third book
Tumblr media
The Cruel Prince Series - Holly Black
are you a hoe for enemies to lovers?
if yes then this series will make you their bitch
literally the BEST angry female character I've read ever
like she's not annoying or overly brash or dark or angsty, she just living in a world that hates her while being the badass queen she is
and the prince
OH he's a joy to read
he's a lil bitch and I love him (read: dramatic bitch)
he's also a fairy (and she's not)
and basically says he hates her during make out sessions so
one of my favorite dynamics... ever
and some of the descriptions and words... *chef's kiss* I still think about them even today
a bit of lgbtq representation (bi girl that dates a girl) but not the main focus
I think I ate up the first book in two days which is insane for me
Tumblr media
The Poppy War Series - R.F. Kuang
this author is literally a sadist bc none of the characters make it out happy
fjjdkddk besides that: imagine imperialist Japan and yu-gi-oh and combine them together
like literally the humans start controlling the gods it's metal af
heavy as hell series that has implied rape and implied massacre, but the majority of the series is a war so that's a little expected
it's not classified as YA, it's adult, and is based on true events of the sino-japanese war
main character is also extremely badass, she literally destoys her uterus after getting a period for the first time bc she hated the pain
that alone should compel you
would recommend if you like getting slammed into walls
also! the first part of the book is a lot like harry potter (students going to a school to train for a hypothetical war if it ever came) but then the second half and the rest of the books is Actually The War, It's Here Now, Suffer
there's also a character that's basically draco malfoy but 10000x sexier and I should mention that I was a slut for draco for about a year of my life so that says a lot
and the author is a POC!
Tumblr media
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires - Grady Hendrix
a group of housewives that essentially everyone thinks are dumb af and incapable of anything besides giving birth and raising children fight an immortal, bloodthirsty, and generally dick vampire
honestly I've seen reviews saying this book is kinda sexist (author is a white man) but as a woman I didn't see any problems? Idk
I read it via an audiobook and I think it would be kinda dry to read as a physical book bc it's sorta slow in the beginning
but then the second half is A Ride™
a rly unorthodox book! and I enjoyed it
also heavy themes such as rape and (overt) sexism (the setting is the south in the 90s)
but just a good book to read if you like seeing the underdog prevail
and the description and the depiction of the vampire is v unique, he's not your typical vampire, he's like,,,
an immortal god that drinks blood
yeah
Tumblr media
The Dark Artifices Series - Cassandra Clare
another cc book series lol
same premise as the other one: fantasy creatures and demon hunters except it's modern day
there is SO much lgbtq+ representation (imo, I think it was done well. other people think otherwise tho)
like a black trans woman opening up about her struggles of transitioning, which isn't something I see a lot (ig I don't read enough books abt trans people? or the fantasy genre doesn't have enough of them)
fairies fairies fairies fairies
there's also a crap ton of characters bc the main character's family is enormous
and they're all developed SO WELL
LIKE FR THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT YES
a dumptruck load of angst and ✨forbidden romance✨ that's almost as big as my ass
honestly this is one of those series' that you don't even realize you've finished it until you've shut the cover of the final book and you're zapped back to reality
Tumblr media
Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
oh
my god
this series is honestly everything I ever wanted into a book
physically and mentally disabled characters? yep
diverse characters of color? yep
lgbtq diversity? yes ma'am!
interesting and exciting plotline? i n d e e d
six loveable main characters that could probably murder me in my sleep! fuck yeah
plotline is basically a heist novel and these characters have to do this near impossible mission in order to get glory
oh and they all wanna kill each other
two of them wanna fuck but also fucking hate each other and I love that for them
not a romance heavy book tho, but the romance (as a subplot) that is there is 10000/10 y'know
if you're in a book slump I recommend this to awaken you from your drought bc this quenched my thirst and I'm thirsty af
happy reading!!!

i just finished reading Middle Ground and I was literally looking at my phone like 😳 at the end! YOUR STORY TELLING IS DONE SO FUCKING WELL , I got SHIVERS dude!! like the whole build up to the Behind The School scene was so freaking nerve wracking cos i KNEW it was gonna be bad! AND THEN TENKO SWITCHING UP ON US?! like, i knew he was gonna be a little “nice guy” in the fic but it just HURT SEEING IT HAPPEN!! and then him saying “i hate you” at the end? bruh that must have hurt yn SO MUCH!! AND THEN SEEING UR DRABBLES AFTER ON HOW THE BOYD WOULD REACT TO CERTAIN THINGS? ugh, i’m just so bitter rn, like you wrote them so well that i need to go touch some grass to remember they aren’t real nor is this canon. i just want some good angst, like where Touya feels HORRIBLE for what he did and Tenko is like “omg!!1!! why did i switch up on bestieeee” & Hawks (in this story, can NOT be saved imo) would be like “dam gotta find other bitches ig 😤✌🏽”! -😈K
STOP YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY MADE MY DAMN DAY😭😭
I’ll be honest, the buildup was very hard. Like figuring out how the plot is going and arranging it was a struggle. For me usually I always know what the main events are gonna be first and THENN i have to figure out what happens in between lol
AND YEAH FR YOU WOUODVE THOUGHT THAT TENKO WOULD PULL THROUGH BUT NOOOOO he was scum just like the rest of them😔
Hawks was also pure shit, he was just pure shit that thought it was all soooo comical smh weirdo

hi lee!! can u do giorno, bruno, and abbacchio for the ask game? ^_^
HIII rish yes i can :)
GIORNO 🦋🐸🌸
sexuality: hmmm bi
gender: He is Very Nonbinary to Me. i like to see him as genderfluid, erring towards presenting more femininely most of the time
ship: FUGIOOOO is really the only way to go in my opinion. the life and death opposing themes make me crazy
brotp: i think giorno and trish could be really really good friends! but i also think mista and giorno post-va can have a very good brotherly dynamic. and bruno as a guiding figure to him is very important to me too of course
notp: even beyond the obvious absofuckinglutely not ships i don’t really like to ship giorno with other characters than fugo. fugio content is like the best place to find good faith and well-done readings of giorno imo and everywhere else is IFFY at best
random headcanon: MY BUTTERFLIEEEESSS literally since the first day i finished va everytime i draw post va giorno i like to give him three butterflies made from brunos clips, abbacchios belt, and narancias headband respectively...i think he would’ve felt guilty that he couldn’t do anything and done the best he could in making those butterflies :’(
overall opinion: THE most commonly fucked up character in jojo. ive never seen more people be wrong about a character in my life. but in jojo itself he is such such a fantastic character and is one of the most interesting and well written in the whole thing. he has so many levels and i really love him a lot. i just wrote a fic about him like two days ago he is weighing HEAVY on my mind
BRUNO 💙 🤍🖤
sexuality: he likes men!!!!! idk he could be gay or bi either way i can see
gender: trans man
ship: bruabba of COURSE the tragedy the beauty the symbolism it is ALL that matters
brotp: one of my favorite dynamics is bruno and fugo. it makes me so emotional to think about them being the first two and about fugo looking up to bruno as a guardian figure. everything about the whole scene in the anime where fugo is like I can’t I have to be alone because I don’t want to hurt anybody I don’t want to hurt you on accident and bruno sticks his hand out and is like im willing to take that risk. Auuuuughhhhhggghh
notp: anything that isn’t bruabba. i haven’t seen much of anything else in my own experience but i can’t think of a single other dynamic that would be good or matter
random headcanon: fugo knows a lot about boats because the first year bruno tried to teach him how to sail. he could not do it
overall opinion: bruno makes me feel like my heart is being split in half sometimes fr. i love his backstory i just have a soft spot for that like smalltown fishermen and yearning for the water type theme. and his tendency to self sacrifice makes me so sad. everything about his self sacrifice in killing those guys and joining passione for his father.... :( sigh. But im tired of watching him get boiled down to Mom Friend. like yes he cares for them and wants to take care of them but there’s so much more too
ABBACCHIO ⏳🖤💜
sexuality: Gay!
gender: No thank you!
ship: bruabba!!!!!!!! the only time i ever feel at peace is when im with you!
brotp: abbacchio fugo dynamic can be a TON of fun too. but i really do have a soft spot for him looking out for narancia
notp: anything else. prison.
random headcanon: he is the kids nail polish hookup. he has a large collection of colors
overall opinion: oh my god here we go. abbacchio has also been heavily on my mind i feel like i have a LOT to say. first of all his stand is the COOLEST. i really really really REALLY love how the stands in vento auteo relate to the character backstories but abbacchios really takes the cake for me. the ability to rewind any event as an indication of feeling guilty in your soul is just SOOOO. AAAGH. i love the idea of him growing his hair out and presenting differently as a way to try and grow out of that guilt from the past. him being such an asshole made it hard to like him first time round but once i started liking him i started REALLY liking him unfortunately. i love his relationship with bruno because i think he’s like stuck between Finally A Good Person I Can Devote My Life To so i am not only responsible for badness in this world i can just close my eyes and be subservient to him. and also like why on earth does bruno like me...could it be that i... have worth?! it couldn’t be... i love abbacchio
