As much as i am a martin van buren fan who would love to see more depictions of him in media, i genuinely think a biographical adaptation of his life like a musical, movie, series, etc just wouldn't work, mainly because he works so much better as a "side character". I feel the fun part of writing a character like him would be to make the audience wonder whether he can be trusted, and seeing all the sneaky stuff he pulls behind the scenes. Also i just don't think his life story is interesting enough to merit an entire adaptation #SORRY

Okay Demigods
now that Season 2 has been confirmed (!!!!!!!!!!) I am here to make my official appeal that you ALL read the books. and yes...i mean ALL the books. Because here is what you are missing if you don't:
(mostly spoiler free. mostly vibes and chaotic no context)
OG PERCY JACKSON
Percy's INCREDIBLE sarcasm
Lots of chaotic Mr. D moments
Percy's unending absolute obliviousness when it comes to: his own abilities/powers, his own feelings towards a certain daughter of Athena, and EVERYONE'S feelings towards him
the full list of Percy's felonies (it's longer than you think!)
how much Percy thinks about Annabeth, especially in the third book
The Hunters of Artemis (everyone's like 'which godly parent would you have?' but im like ??? who cares??? I'm running off with the girls to immortal to hunt men i mean monsters)
soooooooooo much Sally Jackson is the Best Mom (to everyone who walks through her door) content
BLACKJACK. TRANS ICON BLACKJACK THE PEGASUS.
Rachel. Elizabeth. Dare. (this is how the audiobook says her name every single time)
Paul Blofis
Sally Jackson, author
Poseidon: Blowfish?
HEROES OF OLYMPUS
If you don't read these books you are missing out on some of the coolest female characters Rick has created: PIPER (an iconic), HAZEL (unintentionally hilarious), REYNA (beautiful character arc), and ANNABETH's point of view will have you loving her on a whole other level, trust me
Also: COACH HEDGE
Leo
All The Ladies Love Leo
the audiobooks are INSANE. It felt like a full cast read the book, but no. it was just one insanely talented narrator.
FESTUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (im a dragon girlie)
Personally, I spent a lot of time reading the OG 5 wondering about how Roman mythology plays into Percy's world. Uncle Rick answered my questions and answered them SO WELL
Hazel the horse girl
Frank the horsebirddolphinman
Frank, gentle himbo, my beloved son
MY FAVORITE SCENE WHICH INVOLVES PERCY NOT KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE, A HARPY, FRANK, AND HAZEL AND THEYRE ALL SCREAMING AND IM PRETTY SURE STUFF IS ON FIRE
Forced Proximity for 7 teenagers and one chaotically violent satyr (that's Coach Hedge)
Eros/Cupid being one the most genius things Rick's ever written
Percy's hate of Ares transcending god magic
(also his love of Annabeth, but that's like obvious)
PercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabethPercabe
weird barely gnome things
this one giant whose name is definitely not pronounced like female anatomy
everyone thinking Percy and Annabeth are constantly getting up to the hanky panky
a statue made me cry
Gay Grumpy/Sunshine (or should that be Death/Sunshine) origins!!
TRIALS OF APOLLO
Apollo, vain himbo of godly proportions is forced to live as Lester Papadopoulos
Percy: why
a very chaotic twelve year old daughter of Demeter
she commands Apollo around
plant magic
terrible great haikus at the start of every chapter
Sally Jackson being the best mom to everyone who comes to her door
magic shoes
a sassy magic prophetic arrow that talks in Shakespearean English
so much gay grumpydeath/sunshine content
also yes sunshine's dad is Apollo
Apollo sings
Grover! Piper! Reyna! Hazel! All the friends! Everyone
Jason! (also im sorry)
what if there were some trees who were an elite squad of warriors who also answer to the chaotic twelve year old
gay moms of the midwest
unicorns
in the last book, chiron takes the campers on a 'field trip' to help take down the big baddie and he shows up dressed as a warrior soccer mom with granola bars, water bottles, and extra swords attached to his fanny pack
a different chaotic twelve year old while fighting to the death in a building that's on fire: "CAN WE GO ON FIELD TRIPS EVERY WEEK?"
chiron: "ROSE DEAR RAISE YOUR SWORD A LITTLE HIGHER!"
okay im not going to spoil it but in the last book there is also this extremely horrifyingly violent moment that Uncle Rick somehow turns into one of the most hilarious things i've ever read
Piper in the epilogue
CHALICE OF THE GODS
more insanely funny percy first person narration
Grover, Percy, Annabeth reunite ("the gang is back together!" "The three musketeers!" "Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey!" "Excuse me?")
have you met the god of himbos? (Percy has)
SO
MANY
EASTER
EGGS
for Season one. you can totally see how Uncle Rick worked on the script and chalice together
if you liked Annabeth shoving Percy into the water....this one is for you
Percy, supreme god of snakes
the cutest cutest cutest cutest Percabeth content you will ever read
hippie gods (yes more than one)
Percy is literally obsessed with Annabeth
Annabeth already being the Jackson daughter in law
Sally Jackson and Paul and
For the record: You CAN read Chalice of the Gods without reading the other series, but please please please read all these books. The audiobooks are phenomenal.

My take on bakudeku, togachako and izuocha (objectively)
I’ve seen a lot of arguments between the bkdk fandom and the izuocha fandom, what is canon? Was it a bad ending? Was it out of character?
Slow down, first of all the real ending is 429, or at least that’s what is completely canon on the mha verse. Aside from that, we can analyse 430 and 431 for funsies, but if you want to just take mha till 429 that’s completely fine, horikoshi just puts an alternative ending out there, like for example the author of death note does (he writes many alternative endings but the only one that is canon is the original manga one, but you can chose whatever you want to as I did)
Horikoshi hasn’t made any ships canon in the official mha verse, nor bakudeku nor izuocha is canon. If you want to take 430 and 431 as endings that’s on you and that’s respectable cause the reader chooses what they want to read.
Now, let’s talk about those two chapters, for the people that want to take them into account. And with the parallels with katsuki, himiko, izuku and ochako. CAUSE THEYRE ALL THE SAME
In 430 we get offered an ending in which izuku becomes fully quirkless again and he finds a place for himself in teaching, he likes his job but he feels like he’s missing something out and that he should also be with his mates being a hero and saving people, which was his lifelong dream.
Katsuki then gifts him a super dupe suit that he has been saving for to allow izuku to reach his dream, izuku then cries his heart out, grateful for what katsuki has done for him.
The chapter ends with all class A being pros with a perfect smiley picture, we get that “closure” between izuku and katsuki but it doesn’t feel entirely right cause we feel like we need a chat between izuku and ochako, who is the most influential character with katsuki and all might for izuku, it feels like something is off. We also don’t get that togachako closure either, it feels bland, somethings missing.
In 431 we get that chat, izuku looks at ochako cause he knows she’s suffering and putting on a smile to distract herself from all the hurting she has inside. She can’t forget himiko after 8 years and izuku knows that because he feels the same with katsuki.
This chapter is super important in both their arcs cause they both let go of what was tying them to the blondes, and believe me, it wasn’t love. Izuku and ochako didn’t love each other either, nor izuku nor katsuki nor himiko nor ochako felt love, but twisted feelings for each other, 431 offers a possibility for both izuocha and bkdk that wasn’t there before.
Katsuki and izuku chased eachother for all of their lives, their resentment was what tied them so closely, they wanted to have what the other one hadn’t. Katsuki wanted to be vulnerable, to relax, to be able to express himself freely without the narcissistic facade. Izuku wanted to be bold, to be active, to express himself without the victim facade. They resented eachother cause the other had what they wanted. That’s why they couldn’t truly hate nor love eachother, they needed to know themselves more, they needed to love themselves before loving eachother.
Happens the exact same way with izuku and ochako. Izuku didn’t actually like ochako, she just was the first person in his life that gave him validation and affection apart from his mentors, a person of his age, more than that, a pretty girl. Of course 15yold izuku is gonna be head over heels with that new feeling but it wasn’t love, it was the need to be loved cause he hated himself.
That’s why we don’t really see izuku actually respecting ochako but idolising her, he thinks she’s cute and nice but he doesn’t see her as a person, not even as an equal. Ochako on the other side sees izuku as superior, again idolising him, she doesn’t see him as equal either, but as superior, infatuation, not love. Izuku wanted the validation he got from ochako, ochako was like katsuki, she wanted to be izuku, but she didn’t actually like izuku.
Nor katsuki nor ochako love izuku. And izuku nor loves katsuki nor ochako. (For now)
Now let’s talk about himiko and ochako.
Himiko and ochako weren’t in love either, their only tie was being infatuated with izuku, admiring him wanting to “become��� him. As toga says “you love someone when you want to become them”, but she was wrong. Loving someone is not just admiring them, love is purer.
That quote is not casual, it refers to katsuki and izuku too. It’s saying , dude you can’t love someone till you recognise them for more than what you want for them, loving is selfless, you don’t want something out of someone you just want them, that’s it.
Ochako wanted to find comfort in himiko as she is the only one who fully gets her and that’s why even after 8 years she keeps thinking of her. Izuku wanted validation from katsuki and katsuki from izuku, that’s why 8 years later they’re still trying to chase eachother.
But the cycle finally stops and they break out of their dramas and arcs, as horikoshi stated on his letter. They finally get to be who they are without all of those twisted feelings disguised as love or hate.
Izuku is able to stop chasing katsuki by rejecting his offer to be a sidekick in his agency. He doesn’t want to compete against katsuki anymore he wants katsuki as a person, not as a rival.
Ochako is able to let himiko go and to finally understand herself and maybe who knows, become the person she actually admires, maybe getting to actually know izuku instead of idolising him. Maybe izuku starts to actually see ochako for who she is rather than someone that just validates him.
Maybe now katsuki stops seeking answers in izuku and tries to find them in himself and that allows him to truly love izuku without being selfish.
It’s an open ending nobody knows what might happen. Maybe none of them fall in love or maybe they do, but now they have the possibility to actually truly love.

My Marauders Opinions
i have no idea if these are unpopular but they're mine so please don't hate <3
I ship romantic moonwater. I'm a multi-shipper and will support anything with enough evidence (within reason) and i ship romantic moonwater and I am not ashamed.
I don't think Sirius is at fault for running away, and i automatically click off a fic if it is portrayed in that way (except for if it's reggie's POV bc hes obvs gonna be an unreliable narrator in that respect.
TRANS REMUS TRANS REMUS TRANS REMUS
I don't believe Pandora was ever a seer, I think Sybill was but bc of her personality people didn't believe her.
Pandora was a wizz at potions but she didn't participate because "then it won't be as easy to blame my dormmates for weird smells"
James was quite mean sometimes without realising it but when he did he IMMEDIATELY apologised !
I don't think remus was a chocoholic i think he just carried it around cos it seemed to make everyone happy when he gave them chocolate when they were feeling down
Dorcas was deaf/hard-of-hearing
Remus had a good relationship with both his father and mother, but he struggled to talk to his mother about lyancrothropy because she was genuinely scared of him around the full moon because she read the wizarding worlds books on werewolves. (don't blame her shes a muggle guys)
Walburga wasn't physically abusive, orion was (ill write more about this if people want cos i've got a whole rant about my thoughts on this.)
Barty was a ravenclaw, but an honorary slytherin due to the amount of time he was there (him stealing one of reggie's ties in 1st year may have a part to play)
I think the Black sister's relationship is more interesting than the black brother's mainly because i barely ever see it explored
Sirius was not a bad brother. Regulus was. (that's all im going to say on this cos i don't wanna get hated on)
I love Regulus Black with all my heart but he had loads of flaws that are never explored
Trans Regulus !
Sirius Black who wore feminine clothing and wore makeup but was sure in his position as a man
James Potter with a Quidditch Player body from 3rd year onward but before that he was slightly chubby from being spoilt by effie's food.
Sirius was not at fault for running away from an abusive home. Regulus was not at fault for staying in one. Trauma acts in different ways.
I think the fandom can be incredibly toxic at times, but I also think that it is much easier to just block the people you don't want to interact with
I don't like genderbending fics on the basis that the ones I've read always make wolfstar straight ( if you have any good recommendations send them to me!)
I think Remus& Peter were really good friends throughout Hogwarts and they never argued or had any spats even as they found new friends cos they both knew they liked each other
I don't want the Harry Potter reboort to happen for two reasons , 1. I don't want the actors to get hated on because theyre "not as good as the original" or taking part in the reboot because of the authors beliefs. 2. I don't support jkr's views and don't want to endorse a transphobic woman.
I don't like the oversexualisation of Mary at all(though i know most don't)
Hating on fics on public platfroms is not cool. it's okay to do it with your friends or in your thoughts but never somewhere where the other may see
That's all for now !!

babe wake up its time for more manhwa posting!!!!!
titles mentioned:
painter of the night (18+)
bend over backwards (18+)
miscreants and mayhem (18+)
fly me to the moon
why Ophelia couldn't leave
taming the tiger (18+)
walk on water (18+)
codename: anastasia (18+)
the ghost's nocturne (18+)
steel under silk (18+)
dreadful night (18+)
toxin (18+)
smyrna and capri (18+)
roses and champagne (18+)
painter of the night (18+) - listen so many ppl talk abt this one and have hyped it up so much, but unfortunately I didn't really like it 😔 I do like their relationship at the end and they are very loving but the journey....bruh 💀 I just think it could've been so much more interestingly written, and I think most of my problems stem from me just straight up not liking nakyum as a character. the art is very pretty though. I would skip if you're not a fan of passive/weak MC'S who are treated like shit by the ML in the beginning but get stockholmed into developing feelings somehow (I rly don't know how else to explain it IDK MAN). warning for non-con/dub-con between the 2 leads.
bend over backwards (18+) - very cute!!!! it does start out kinda toxic and in like a transactional/coercive FWB situationship, but it doesn't last super duper long and they do end up being very cute and loving. I have this bookmarked as my comfort read 😌
miscreants and mayhem (18+) - HEAR ME OUT THIS ONE SLAPPED OK. I originally was gonna skip this one bc the main pairing is uh about a guy and his step-son 🧍‍♀️. extremely questionable rship and he does get called "dad" when theyre fucking but my 4th wall must be made of titanium bc I was able to look past that due to the way the story was written. it deals a lot with the mc's guilt about failing his family and not being able to raise his step-son, and he blames himself for why his step-son turned out the way he did. a wild ride with the most HWOOOO spicy scenes that i would definitely give a try if you're able to like look past the inherent weirdness of the rship.
fly me to the moon - God this one started out so promising but as soon as the main pairing was established the MC's personality went poof 😭 WHAT HAPPENED TO MY NO-NONSENSE SARCASTIC CHAIN-SMOKING MOMMY....THEY TURNED HER INTO A TYPICAL DAMSEL IN DISTRESS 😭😭 this also was giving "I can't believe it's not omegaverse!!" bc they were talking about like pheromones and scenting and imprinting, it had me going "is this straight omegaverse.....??" I think I knew it was time to drop this when I started caring more about the unhinged insane 2nd ML that everyone hates more than the main couple bc at least he elicits an interesting rxn from the MC rather than the boring ass vanilla insta-love vibes of the main pairing. maybe I just have weird taste 😭
why Ophelia couldn't leave - once again started off promising but started going downhill once the main pairing was established 😔 I think it's bc I was expecting more of a battle of wits or mutual manipulation story, but there wasn't a whole lot of that. i thought the ML's personality was quite flat, bc although i am biased towards obsessive characters, the way he was written just didn't click with me since he has no depth besides "I love ophelia". I did think the slow reveal of the truth behind the parents' death was interesting, they do feed you some info bit by bit, and Ophelia's unreliable narration also helped with the mystery. honestly I was a little mad when I finished this one bc I lowkey felt like I wasted my time 😭
taming the tiger (18+) - by the same author as "miscreants and mayhem", this one was A Ride. this pairing is the definition of matching each others' freak and it also had the best spicy scenes out of all the ones i've read so far like they made me go aWOOGAAAAA!!!!! it can get quite sad near the end but i personally LOVED the way it ended with the side stories....the soulmate-ism of it all.......i would highly recommend this one if you're looking for like something that will make you Feel Things.
walk on water (18+) - by the same author as "under the green light", this one was the most grounded and realistic bl manhwa i've read. at times it gave off almost indie movie vibes with the way the dialogue was written. it deals with discussions surrounding the ethics of like the gay porn industry and the stigma that is attached to sex workers in that industry. would definitely give this one a read!!
codename: anastasia (18+) - the only reason i'm continuing this is bc i think it's finally getting to the good shit after an entire season of me wanting to grab the MC by the shoulders and yelling "HELLO????? YOUR PARTNER IS SUS AS FUCK WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!" for a spy he is kind of stupidt 😭despite that though i did like the banter between the 2 leads, and i'm really curious to see how they will interact in the new season now that uhhhh Shit Happened. anyways huge warning for non-con between the 2 leads like. it was fucked up man.
the ghost's nocturne (18+) - i love supernatural stories, especially ones that deal with folk horror and curses and ghosts, so obvs i liked this one. the art style for this one is SO GOOD, each panel is coloured so beautifully and rendered so well shit had me staring at each panel going "HOW?????" the rship between the nok and jaeshin was pretty iffy in the beginning but it improves pretty quickly once jaeshin explains wtf is going on and they come to an agreement. anyways i'm enjoying this one so far and i am also in love with jaeshin, unfortunately i am not immune to sexy half-ghost man 😔. warning for non-con/dub-con between the 2 leads in the beginning.
steel under silk (18+) - listen when i heard this one was a joseon-dynasty enemies-to-lovers revenge story my ass was clicking into it IMMEDIATELY. i do admit the beginning is a little rough since our MC was acting mainly on impulse and doesn't really have a long-term game plan, but he smartens up and starts to actively scheme around the 20-episode mark. it's so nice seeing both yeonjo and heeryang's perspectives and their thought processes, they each know the other person is scheming and they're constantly thinking of ways to out-scheme the other person to get the upper hand (yeonjo's goal is to gain the governor's trust so he can create an opportunity to assassinate him, while heeryang suspects yeonjo wants to kill him so he constantly blocks opportunities/creates obstacles to make sure he never gets a chance). i am really really curious to see what direction the story takes, especially with the recent chapters that have come out. it's really hard for me to read enemies-to-lovers stories and not compare it to captive prince, which i still consider to be the creme-de-la-creme of enemies to lovers, but so far this one is very promising. warning for dub-con between the 2 leads, and non-con between the MC and another character.
dreadful night (18+) - really unique premise, basically our MC is stuck in a slasher horror game, and he needs to clear all of the endings in order to escape. i'm really enjoying this one bc it's clear the author is a horror-enjoyer with the way they're so knowledgeable about tropes and death flags and like the mechanics of horror games, that has a horror enjoyer myself it made me go "ohohohoho....." they should make more transmigration stories where they transmigrate into a horror game, enough with the fantasy/otome games!!! give me stories where people transmigrate into silent hill or something!!! the ML seems to be an NPC who's sentient and aware of the game, but he also seems a little obsessed with our MC (in a yandere way) so i'm curious to see what his deal is.
toxin (18+) - i usually give something like 20 episodes before i decide if it's for me but like 6 episodes in i went "brother eughhhh". it's an enemies to lovers story but the ML gave me the biggest ick. idk if i just dropped it too early but it's giving colonizer romance (like the ML literally hunted the MC's people for sport and doesn't see them as individuals, he views them as livestock and lower beings). i do get it's enemies to lovers, but this particular brand doesn't appeal to me.
smyrna and capri (18+) - once again by the same author as "miscreants and mayhem" and "taming the tiger", i got curious about their other works since i really enjoyed what i've read from them so far, so i decided to open my heart and try reading an omegaverse story. i think i can conclude that i really don't like omegaverse bc i liked everything about this story except for the pregnancy and pheromone shit 😭i would recommend this if you're a fan of omegaverse, the rship between the 2 leads is very sweet and the alpha is also very very green flag (he is so cute...i lov him...)
roses and champagne (18+) - man this one started off interesting but then went off the rails at the end and made me go "HUH????? okay i guess!!!!" also the MC is a lawyer but he can also be kinda dumb which frustrated me. i did like their relationship in the beginning, but once again Something happens near the end that made me go "oh you Crazy crazy" and i felt like they kinda speedran the ending. there are side-stories, but i honestly lost interest so i stopped following. this is going to sound deranged but this story gave off mad victuuri mafia au vibes. warning for non-con between the 2 leads near the end (where it goes off the rails LOL)

What i'd change in this piece of media! Or just rewritting it. Because truly it is right now.
Today's episode is.... Twilight!
Because for some reason i started thinking about Edward and Jasper and how they could be fixed and it turned into this clusterfuck. Anyways.
Twilight.
It is so damn boring! But it has potencial.
Ok. Let me explain myself. I started reading twilight's fanfiction without having ever watched the movies. At the time the movies came out, i was too young to take any interest in it, although the women around me did, and they fawned over Jacob and his shirtless scenes. Which was how i was team Jacob (not anymore tho ew)
Nevermind that, thing is, i only watched the movies after reading the phenomenal and creative fics. So, to me the movies paled in comparison.
Don't get me wrong. Twilight was a huge sucess, so it clearly did something right. This is only my opnion, okay?
Lets go.
So, the author created so many interesting characters and then proceeded to give us the most boring ones as the protagonists.
And Edward and Bella are actually interesting. But we got stuck with their annoying versions.
And beyond that, the really interesting side characters never have a chance to be developed. T-T
Not as much as they deserved at least.
And please, the Volturi needed a spin off of their own. Something akin to The Originals and The vampire Diaries.
Anyways, in this first part, i want to talk about how we could get into and actually develope the characters. I'll talk about each movie later.
First, our protagonists. Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
Ok. I would LOVE if we had Edward at his antihero phase. Maybe at the tail end of it, maybe at its climax.
Would love to see Red Eyes Edward. Avenging men and women who were raped, tortured, murdered as he battles with his own sense of humanity and self hatred. Trying to do something good while still being a monster.
And yes, he would still be his edgelord self. But now his breakdowns would happen as he is covered by someone else's blood and insides. Rocking himself in a alleyway's corner, looking at nothing as the body at his feet just gets colder and colder.
At some point, he would kill someone inocent. Who was wrongly accused of something. And when he discovers this, he sees his victim's mother crying, yelling at the heavens, begging for answers, for justice. For something. Anything. And Edward would hate himself for thinking for a moment he could do good. "You're a murderer, a demon. You're the one who deserves to die."
And then we have Bella, just as she is. I wouldn't change much about her really. Just make her a bit less "not like other girls" and lessen her infatuation with Edward. Or maybe amplify it. But in a different way. She is taken with Edward not because wow, he is handsome, misterious or smth. But because he is weird. Maybe even have a monsterloving Bella. Who is fascinated by this idea of an angel of death. But as she encounters it, him, she realizes nothing is black in white. He kills people. Humans like her.
She would be attracted, but terrified. Battling against her morals. He has to feed, but he kills only those who are criminals. But who is he to play the judge and jury? And would be interesting for Edward to become more attached to life and morals (as in, murder is murder, bitch. Stop killing people even though theyre criminals and deserve it. Youre not God).
I would love to see their oposing ideas inspire each other and provoke drama and grownth.
Also, id love to see Bella's reasons to be a vampire to be more than Edward. I saw this idea on tiktok i think. And it makes so much sense.
Her reasons would be: she is a bit of a history nerd and wants to be there as historical moments are happening and live to see its repercursions; she is afraid of getting old( but not dying, since she is suicidal and has a kinda morbid curiosity about it); she doesnt want to lose Alice, or Emmett, nor Jasper or Rosalie and Carlisle and Esme; she wants to feel part of something, this family, something she severely lacked as a child and still do as a teenager.
I want a Bella that is in love and obssessed with Edward, but as the story goes on, she learns to be independent. She learns how to be confident in her weird self. And have more than just Edward, although she is very much in love with him.
She would not get pregnant. But would be a vampire because dude. She is so much better as a vampire. Lord above. And well that would be the culmination of her character growth.
Next episode:
Alice, Jasper and him being a confederate soldie or smth :)
Reminder, if you do not agree with me, thats okay. If you want to let me know about your opnion, be nice about it.
Aaaand, this is only for fun. I've never read the books, and its been a long time since i've watched the movies. So, chill.
Part 2 is among us, yo.
Here.

you're the kyle authority on my dash so i figured i'd ask if u have a reading list or if there's a particular list you'd recommend 👀 or just what your fav/most recommended issues/arcs are for him in general
sobbing and crying i cannot be called a kyle authority because i have basically only read him in green lantern 1990 and countdown. and i read countdown before gl90 so i dont even remember how good his characterization was in that fhasdkjfhsajdf
BUT. that will never stop me from being annoying about him. gl90 is all i need i refuse to read anything else. heres a reading guide that has a lot of good stuff on it but uhh i havent read everything on that #lol
but some of my fav arcs/issues!!!! or just arcs that def should be read for him fhdskjdfs
green lantern 1990:
#50-55 (origin story <3 rip alex)
#58 & 59 (donnakyle brainworms)
#71-73 (he gets to have a fun silly time with other heroes yippee!!)
#76-77, & green arrow #110-111 (connorkyle brainworms)
#83-85 (FOAMING AT THE MOUTHHHHH I LOVE THIS ONE. YRRA!!!!!!!)
#94 (i just like his interactions with kon fhakdfjha its so sweet)
#96, green arrow #130, flash #135 (three of a kind arc my beloved)
#98-99 (this one is honestly just okay but also there are a couple moments in it that im obsessed with so it deserves to be recommended)
#113-114 (i really like a lot of the introspection with effigy so this arc can be rly nice as a treat)
#121-124 (trapped in a dream trope my beloved <3 also some good stuff at the end to finish marz's run)
#128 (roykyle brainworms)
#129-136 (starts off judd winick's run,,, irc theres some iffy stuff in these issues bc winick's a freak but theyre pretty good)
#143-150 (oh my fucking god. ION. greatest arc ever. do not read this first because you need the full context of his character to appreciate it. but once you read it itll change you forever)
#153 (this one is just adorable i love fhdakhfbdfa calm before the storm)
#154-155 (the storm. hate crime arc, very sad so tw for uhhh homophobic hate crimes. but its a good arc)
can i be honest i dont remember any of the rest of the issues really grabbing my attention. there are good moments (#157 my beloved) but no issues stand out hfksadjhfa
also i was so upset by the ending of this run the first time i read it. i have no problem with sad endings to stories but this one made me so upset and i still havent gotten over it. it ends with him losing all the friends he had on earth and going "well im off to space forever now" and i dont know why i reacted so terribly to it but i remember pouting about it for like 2 days
anyways outside of gl1990 i think green lantern: circle of fire is 1000000% worth reading (honestly i only read the first issue, the only with alex & kyle, and the last issue and i got all the important stuff). also completely unbiased and totally no ulterior motivation of new titans #126 (where he just happens to have a rly sweet interaction with rose.....)
i hope this helps u at all <3 i honestly recommend reading all of green lantern 1990 (or well. starting at #48) because its mostly really fun and has a lot of good moments <3333 and if anyone has more kyle recommendations please feel more than welcome to drop them

I am reading lightlark on the plane. Live blogging in notes app:
(taking notes) wildlings are .. hot and they like.. love. and nature?
wait i have no idea what this lore is . ok whatever
squints at power list. well this just looks like the skylings got off easy after the original curse event
pronouncing isla like yzla in my head rn
wildlings.. are also rich
so do wildlings get like.. no sons? do they just die more?
labyrinth mentioned ... i am told this is a house of leaves thing
how often do u think isla needs to feed. did she pack hearts in Tupperware for the trip
so mean to this sunling king whose life sounds incredibly shitty for five hundred years.. smh
ohhh celeste is sweet.. ok theyre cute together
kyaaaaa im late!~ *trips and falls cartoonishly into a sexy getup*
maybe oro is just a chill guy have we considered that
"the ocean gets dangerous" ok? move inland
ohhhhh . sadly puts away my heart tupperware. i guess they cater here
wait she *could* just fuck off! shes a normal human!
"if one died without an heir their people would die also" you're telling me in 500 years not one of these people has produced an heir ?
i feel like oro is going to be secretly evil but i like him hes interesting
oh wait there's rules about heirs. ok
most high stakes survivor game ever
i know oro is probably secret evil but wow ok isla just hates this guy off the bat
do u think grimshaw is inspired by rhysand
oh come on either the bondbreaker is insanely obscure or the lightlark rulers are stupid for never even trying to use it in 500 years
if i were a lightlark ruler my demonstration would be powerpoint night
solid gold sword.. solid gold armor .. seems like terrible practical choice but its serving cuntttt i guess
isla is literally such an opp
i dont know.. if i like the way this author talks about azul..
wait are they fighting in the dark. is oro ok
obligatory complaint about this book prioritizing romantic love. and also isla and celeste should kiss. but even if not. its canon that she loves celeste so much!! more than anyone in the world!!!!!
....i think killing all these prisoners is unethical
theres no way oro doesnt know about the bondbreaker. or Cleo. theyre so old
oh i know celeste is malding. so much for laying low

Okay so this is crona my friend crona (manga v anime versions) and they are the saddest most pathetic little meow meow of a character possibly ever. Testimonials:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Theyre canonically non-binary (the original japanese version referred to them gender neutrally and for a while english translations just went with he or she just depending on...which one they wanted to use lol!! But recent translations have changed to use they/them for them after the author confirmed it :))
Theyre kind of really fucking weird and morally ambiguous but they have pink hair and a sword so who cares. Also they have a symbiote that just really fucking hates them on a personal level his name is ragnarok hes an asshole
Tumblr media
He kind of looks like a cat but hes a demon that lives in Crona's blood and is also sometimes a sword. Thumbsup
Also theyre gay for the protagonist. Like really really gay.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah :]
CRONAAAAA MY LOVE. my love. my little one. i love them rubyyyyyyyy🫂🫂🫂🫂
they’re from soul eater?adding that to my “to read/watch list”!!!!!! they look so pathetic i love them immediately
I LOVE THEIR DRESS BTWW have you ever watched ruby gloom, i used to be obsessed with that show as a kid. they remind me of ruby a little bit. maybe misery i’m not sure yet😞😞

HOTD and fire and blood spoliers!!!!!
Seriously dont read if u wanna get spoiled................__________________
I personally am kinda pissed they killed off jaehera, this is not personaly bc im more team green based. I personally think aegon iii and vizzy ii were great kings(like theyre literally my favourite kings). Its just that the whole twist of the dance of the dragons was that at end no one won killing ger off ended that.
When i read that she dies it didnt affect that much. i suppose in the end aegon iii was still depressed (even if he liked being married to daenera). But then, later on in interviews george or one of the authors who worked on fire and blood part 1, stated that she died bc originally they planned on aegon having his children after viserys had the future aegon iv,aemon and naerys and.... and apparently jaehera wouldve been too old in westerosi standards to start having children.
Huh???
Like thats the reason why u killed off a character so aegon can marry a 6 yr old.
Like no hate to queen daenera but jaehera book canon wise was only like a couple of years younger than aegon iii, by the time viserys ii's youngest naerys was atleast one jaehera wouldve only been in her late teens.
Also r u serously telling me that maybe just maybe they couldnt have made up a reason for them to not having kids like i dont know.....maybe they just dont like each ther...
Like isnt it highly possible that maybe aegon iii didnt like to have kids with the girl whose father made him watch his mother getting eaten by his dragon.
Also wasnt it canon that jaehera was like physically weak and weak minded. That couldve been a reason why aegon maybe push it.
Also just look at aegon iii's kids-daeron couldve been jaeheras uncle daeron the daring and elaena couldve been a more valyrian version of queen helaena, also baelor the blessed and rhaena the pious, u seriously want me to believe that they came from a velaryon and not jaehera the grandauggter if alicent hightower herself...like😀.
Again no hate to daenera i think the only good thing i got when i first heard daenera replaced jaeheras place was that when i read about more in fire and blood, daenera was vaemond velaryon's grandaughter, (you know the man that daemon killed bc how dare he fight against a non velaryon sitting in the drifwood throne)which is just karma bc rhaenys's agreement to the plan (on the show) for a non velaryon to take the driftwood throne so she can have baela become jaces queen consort, backfired when it was later baela who became lady of driftmark (not even the actual ruler just the consort) and now vaemonds granduaghter queen daenera who became queen.
Any ways i also just wanted helaenas one surving kid to survive and thrive aswell. I just do t want alicents line to end.
It just doesnt seem fair to me that everyone in team green is dead,
Lol my only hope now is aemonds kid with alys. I really wonder what hapoened to him lol #bring an answer for that george

This is a Manhwa, adapted from a novel that I haven't read it yet, about a himbo muscle guy who is a servant taking care of a "nasty" prince as child.
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
spoilers below, obviously .
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
︴rating ,,
I would have to say that even though this is like a three out of five stars, it's still good.
I liked the first part of the story of Abel trying to protect the prince and showing him all these things that warms him up to Abel
LIKE ALL THE SCENES OF "even though you're going to be king someday, you don't have to, because I want you to find happiness for yourself" IS SO CUTE
THE FACT HE FUCKING DIED TRYING TO PROTECT HIM EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS HE WAS GETTING POISONED BUT HE TOOK IT EVERYDAY JUST SO THE PRINCE WOULDN'T EAT IT???
dude. crying fucking tears over here.
I like abel's personality, i like the big aloof guy personality.
I JUST HATE IT AFTER HE REINCARNATED HE TURNED INTO THIS FREAKING TWINK
ALSO IT FEELS WEIRD BECAUSE I CONSIDERED ABEL AS A PARENT TO THE PRINCE AND NOW THEYRE THE SAME AGE TECHNICALLY PHYSICALLY ELEVEN YEARS LATER I FEEL LIKE MENTALLY ABEL IS HIS AGE AND ITS SO WEIRD BC THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE SHIPPED TOGETHER
anyways I'll update when I read the novel because I haven't

hey, cas
so, i kind of wanted to rant a bit, but theres a few things in here i know could get people riled up so honestly im a little nervous sharing this. i also want to preface it by saying that i am NOT hating on any fics i name here, they are just well-known examples and fics that the fandom hold close
as a fic writer myself, i love adding my own little headcanons to characters. sometimes theyre hcs ive seen from someone else and loved, and other times ive thought of them myself. in the latter case, ill often then see that someone else thought of it too, which is really cool!
but then there comes the hcs that people see and think "oh! thats from x fic!" for example, if you bring up dyslexic remus to most marauders fans, theyre gonna talk about atyd. ive never read the fic myself, its not my taste, but ive heard a lot of things about it and it does honestly sound like a great fic so genuinely no hate towards it. but i hc remus as dyslexic and i did so before learning that atyd has dyslexic remus, and any time i consider putting that hc into one of my fics all i can think about is that people will see it and talk about atyd. maybe theyll say i was copying or stole the idea. maybe theyll compare the two and decide the way i depict it isnt as good. maybe ill end up accidentally using a similar or the same thing for remus to have aiding him, for example a spell or something one of his friends do, and ill be told im plagiarising, and i absolutely hate that.
another example is best friends brother. its such a well known fic in the fandom that anyone who writes anything similar is going to be compared to it. or crimson rivers; anyone who writes a hunger games au (even if its not even remotely similar to cr) is going to be told theyre trying to copy. i love both bfb and cr but i wish people could accept that two writers can have the same idea without copying or trying to recreate/steal it
one of my current ongoing fics has the same central trope as another big fic in the fandom (i dont want to reveal which, because i dont want to risk being de-anoned) and i went out of my way to avoid reading the big fandom fic until ive finished writing my own because im so terrified that if theres even a single vague similarity i might get called out and told im copying
i want to say im just being paranoid, but i cant. i hate that the fandom has come to the point where authors have to bring something out that absolutely noone has ever done before ever just so that they dont get told theyve taken the idea from someone else. even if they had, its perfectly normal and fine to be inspired by an idea to make it your own! obviously actual plagiarism is not okay and should be called out, but theres a difference between plagiarism and just having a similar idea or hc
going back to my original point (because this was where my frustrations with this started) i hate that dyslexic remus will always be seen as an atyd thing, when it isnt. again, no hate to the fic or the author, this isnt an attack on them at all, its just unfortunate that the fandom has kind of taken it so much as canon that anything will always be compared to it, if that makes sense?
tldr: let me have dyslexic remus without telling me im copying atyd! let me have him use magic or have his friends do little things to help him without telling me i stole it from atyd!
sorry about that cas haha, i realise its a bit long. it just really really frustrates me to no end, yknow?
Hi!
Yes, I can definitely see what you're saying. I think if something is inspired by another fic (i.e. you read CR and then you're like...oh, I wanna write a Hunger Games AU) it's good to give credit where it's due by saying "inspired by x." But in a fandom with thousands of fics, the same ideas are bound to come up even without having read other fics. If people accuse you of copying and you genuinely haven't, I would just let them yell. People are always going to have negative things to say, you know?

:O thank you! i hope it helps <3 as someone who's written 3 original books, makes video games, and also writes a TON of fanfiction, it honestly makes writing SO much better, I would hate for other folks to lose their love of writing because they're worrying too much... Besides we all complain a lot about things being based on whats most popular and most acceptable, but its easy to fall into that trap when it comes to writing. Too many authors write "normal" books. books that fit whats popular, with words that are good but they had no fun writing, too many authors are trying to be perfect because theyre scared they wont make a living that way, but ill be honest the only authors ive bothered learning the names of, are the ones that were willing to be kind of weird first. theres a reason almost every great author in history breaks the writing rules, a lot of people just know the rules exist and try to follow them, but most don't know how to USE them concoiusly knowing why the tools work, and i think the same goes for conventional word usage. theres a lot of times people will be like "said is dead" but also give conflicting advice like "actually stop saying things other than said its annoying and i dont want to read you saying growled or flapped his hands around as he spoke or things like that, just say said!" And I think thats partially because people mistake personal preference for rules too...i got a bit rambly here i think but i hope that this helps encourage other writers to have some fun.
ill be honest thats actually part of why i got into reading romance novels, theyre a LOT more willing to do fun things like, have cowboy weredragons be a thing (actual book that exists!) and not worry about if its "cringe" because theyve already kinda accepted that romance books are considered "cringe" by people who dont read romance novels. Ive been practicing letting myself just have fun- : ) that's part of why in my book Halcyon (spoilers) theres a magic system that allows for weird stuff like palentologists turning into an ever-shifting spinosaurus because they riled up the spinosaurus's spirit while arguing at a palentology convention type thing at a museum and it got ticked off with him about how humans can never stop arguing about how spinosaurus actually lived, so it attached itself to him and now the guys got spinosaurus body horror powers, and i made it that way specifically becuase i wanted the villain to have the power of "love" and i wanted to figure out how to make the power of love *scary* and while the villain who REALLY utilized it in scary ways is long since dead now, his son and the people in his life he left behind when he died still carries on the same powers and struggles with the trauma related to those powers. i know its not normal for a super hero story to even have a proper magic system, usually its just each character has their own weird sort of mini hard magic system attached to them for weird arbitrary usually science fiction type reasons, and i was a bit unsure if i should do it this way, but its led to WILD story possibilities and a protagonist i LOVE. Do weird things! because everything amazing and unexpected is weird by default because anything outside the norm IS weird. You cant BE amazing if you are too afraid to be abnormal! so get weird! and remember more than anything to TRY to do what sounds fun to you, not just what's predictable or normal! and if sometimes that means you wind up with weird dialogue or made fun of a little...well great! that means someones reading your book >: ) so youve already won~
Just in case any fanfic writers don’t think their writing is good enough or sound natural enough, I just read a published book that included the phrases ‘a street savy yet affectionate hand clasp’ and ‘ at the sound, a dose of freak-out juice ran through her’. You’re doing fine

I love priests writing style even if my comprehension IS not Entirely Up There yet (it's probably idk? 90% to 95%? It was 95 back in summer on a random end page when I actually checked sjdjdj)
Priest and 夏灬安兰 I really like the writing style of...

Also I fucking hate how Bsd has become a “fandom” show if that makes any sense. Like bsd fans are almost as bad at understanding their work as fucking chainsaw man fans. Id be impressed if it didn’t make me want to kill my self whenever I see someone talk about it without understanding anything. Like 3/4 of the fans are here for the fanfic and see the series through tropes. Like no you’re not a Dazai kinnie you’re like 13, on the spectrum, and probably a bit of an asshole. you’re not literally him you lack the severe depression/maturity needed to relate to him. You don’t understand his character, you don’t have the life experience to explain why you would “kin” him
he’s not some quirky gay uncle, he’s a traumatized nihilistic monster with manic depression and probably bpd who’s only alive because he’s found a family that unconditionally loves him. And he feels like 1-he doesn’t belong because his ability won’t let him be connected via fukuzawa like the rest of the agency is and 2-he only really connects with them in brief moments of clarity when he isn’t defensive from trauma and not in a manic episode.
And it pisses me off when people don’t think about this and kin him because theyre just kinda depressed and at worst passively suicidal. Because like I deal with this shit, none of them understand how fucking bad manic depression is, he doesn’t make attempts because he has some grand plan to die, he attempts because when you’re in a manic episode you’re in a miserable fucking haze and you just want it to be over, you can see this in attempts like the barrel and the second river one, he’s grateful when he comes back down. Like you need so much experience with mental illness and life to even come close to think about kinning him and I’m willing to be there a 2 digit number of people in the fandom who’ve dealt with the stuff to understand his perspectives enough to kin him, and I sure as fuck ain’t one of them. They’re probably just a bunch of middle aged people who’ve chanced into the show and enjoyed it and by chance have lived through some shit, and I don’t deny there’s probably some younger people who have gone through a bunch of shit similar to Dazai and are able to understand his character and how they are like him.
But most of the “kinnies” are probably just slightly gifted kids who have like one friend and write fanfic in their English class. But like please it would do you good to pay attention in that class because you might actually understand Bsd better if you knew how to analyze media. Tbh I might be saying that because I got into bsd as a lit nerd unlike most of the people I see who, be honest, got into bad because of fucking skk. God if that ship didn’t exist maybe I wouldn’t be embarrassed to admit this is my third favorite series because skk has brought the worst people into the fandom. The only ships I put up with are Ranpoe (because it’s pretty much canon) and steincraft (because it’s cute and doesn’t affect anything)
But god I could write thousands of words about how much i hate some of the ships, especially fyolai, (most of that would be me complaining about Fyodor’s character because as a fan of his novels what the actual fuck it feels like they know him as the proto nihilism guy and didn’t take anything else away from his works and it pisses me off whenever I think about him) and I can’t really talk about Nikolai because I haven’t read anything of his and just find him annoying in general.
Idk how to bring it back to this original topic so this is my transition. But yeah this fan base would be so much better if they maybe just read/watched it while actually paying attention. I promise you it isn’t a hard read like reading some of the authors would be. Just like the fandom would be so much better if the majority of it wasn’t fic and social media poisoned
I know Q isn’t gonna get top 3 or anything but I’m still gonna be mad when they don’t. Like you have a canon nonbinary character. And they’re gonna fuckin lose to like Poe, Dazai, that one hunting dog I can’t remember the name of the buff one, and tachihara probably. Which fair for the two hunting dogs ig but in my heart of hearts is #1-Q #2-Gin and #3 Tachihara.

Maybe this is mean but it’s been interesting (in a bad way) to see how people have had to intellectualize fanfiction while demonizing categories of fiction (YA for example) in order to justify comparing it to published original fiction. Like the mental gymnastics to just admit you don’t want to read a real book and are perhaps not even able or willing to delve outside the fandom world🤭 it’s… giving stunted literacy development </3
tea. like with the way ppl hype up never using your brain idk why theyre so remiss to admit anything that would require them to think is something they don't wanna fuck with 😭😭😭😭😭 like we see the way ppl react to any piece of media that deprives you of a happy fanfic ending we KNOW y'all hate anything that is not hosted on ao3 you don't have to pretend a 400k sasunaru will ever spark the conversations of award winning prose. nd its the ouroboros of dumbass discourse bc ppl who can't read say they not reading bc they want diversity but the books that are diverse and written by diverse kinds of authors are often thought provoking stories that aren't always wrapped up neatly so the shit they can't even wrap their minds around....................like they cry nd whine that don't want romance they want something serious and grounded but then stories abt the holocaust or antiblackness or the evil shit the usa did to latin america 'make them uncomfortable'........................just read your rimming omegaverse fic please!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuz in the end of the day that's all you fucking want!!!!!!
