9 tbrs for 2025

I've been tagged by @booksandabeer and I couldn't be happier since, maybe you know by now, but I love books and I love talking about books!!!

My TBR at the moment has more than 100 titles, and I made pace with myself thinking I will never reach the bottom of it since it keeps growing every year, but these are the 9 the titles I hope to read in the 2025. I'd be ok with reading also half of them 'couse I know I will be distracted by other books along the way, but let's try at least XD

My sister, my love : it's really strange to me that considering JCO among my favorite writers I've never read this book, considered her masterpiece and her most famous one. She is a fantastic, brutal, fearless, almost diabolical writer, a real witch. I want to read all of her 80+ books, and hopefully this year it's time for this one!

2. A sunny place for shady people: queen Mariana Enriquez writes a book and I read it, as simple as that.

3. Bright young women: recommended to me by severla friends, this feels like a perfect reading for my tastes: a serial killer targetting a sorority in late '78s? Black Christmas vibes all over here!

4. The winter soldier: intrigued by the title, ofc, this book has been sitting into my kindle since 2019, in the meantime Daniel Mason has been rather acclaimed for his other novel. It's an historical fiction about a soldier during WWI. Feeling like time to read this one is approaching! (maybe)

5. Shadowplay: well, vampires are getting big again in this day and age, right? This is another historical fiction taking place in late 1800 Dublin, and involving Bram Stoker, the writing of the masterpiece Dracula, and a love story? Not so sure about the love story part, but on board about all the rest. This has been sitting on my shelf for more than year too, ugh.

6. The witch elm: I love Tana French. Like adore her. This is the last Tana French book I have left to read. I want to read it but I DO NOT want to read it. I love Tana French so much pls Tana French write more books for me.

7. Boy parts: I read the Penance in 2024 and I LOVED it, so I want to read Eliza Clarck's debut. It sounds fun, in a very dark way.

8. Long bright river: much like the previous book I've read Liz More's The God of the Woods in 2024 and really enjoyed it, so I want to go back and read more of her stuff. This should be perfectly up my alley: crimes and sisters' bonding!

9. The unlikely escape of Uriah Heep: I feel this is a few steps out of my comfort zone considering I'm not a big reader of urban fantasy or fantasy in general, but the premise seems so funny and I've read only good review about it, I need to give it a go! For when I'd need something funny and entertaining!

well, that's it!

We're at the tagging spot and as always I'm going to let you down and not tagging anyone but at the same time asking, almost begging, you all to do this 'cause I want to take a look into all your tbrs and add titles to mine so that it will become the longest tbr of all times!!! :D

GAMEPLAY EVENTS - GENERATION 1: Reaper's Rewards

The Grim Reaper is reaching out to you…but don’t be afraid to answer since it seems Grim wants your help. And the best part? You'll be rewarded for your efforts.

Meet Carmilla Pagan (she/her), my sim for the Reaper's Rewards Event.

Her traits are Proper, Paranoid and Self-Absorbed. She has the Neighbourhood Confidante aspiration, which also gives her the Gregarious trait. Her main colours are, as you can see, black and white - inspired by Morticia Addams and Bride of Frankenstein. Her first name is inspired by the 19th-century vampire novel by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and her surname is from the Pagan religion, closely associated with witches throughout history.

yes i am posting this gameplay even though it's now december. forgive me. i'm starting to get back into my hobbies since i've settled at my new full-time job.

also i'm in love with carmilla!! i've literally been loving the sims i've been creating recently. she very much embodies the goth-chic aesthetic that this event calls for.

i think i'll have her have a baby with grim reaper and they can do the christmas event - eventually having a baby with father winter for the next event xD.

Hi!!I was wondering if you could write about uglydolls on halloween.Its ok if you don't want to.

Sorry this is late, but that drawing I posted of Moxy was what I was going to do for this prompt, but I also had more ideas for writing. So, the drawing will come later XD

°°°°°°

"What...are you doing?"

Moxy put on her tiara with exaggerated delicacy. She turned with a wide smile to Lou, who was scrutinizing her odd costume. She had fairy wings strapped on her back by her shoulders and a tiara on her head. "I'm a fairy princess, duh," she rolled her eyes like it was obvious.

Lou squinted at her, mouth parted slightly in confusion as he looked her up and down. "Okay...but...is there a reason you look more stupid than normal?"

Her expression fell flat. "Have you never heard of Halloween?"

"Why would we celebrate a human holiday?"

"Why are you such a huge stick in the mud?" Moxy retorted, crossing her arms indignantly. "You wanted to celebrate Christmas this year. I think it's only fair we get to celebrate Halloween, too."

Lou couldn't keep a smirk off his face, putting a hand to his hip as he gestured to her costume with the other. "In all fairness, Christmas doesn't make people look stupid."

"You're just jealous I actually have a costume. What are you gonna be, huh? A business man?"

He raised a brow at her, expression falling slightly as he gave her an obviously sarcastic response. "I'll be the only one around here with any dignity, that's what I'll be." He crossed his arms, eyes closing briefly. "Besides, I doubt the others are gonna do something as ridiculous as this. Nolan and Mandy certainly won't."

_____

"Please tell me you're joking."

Nolan looked extremely proud of his costume. He had a pointy hat on that was slightly too big for his head (stupid measurements hadn't been accurate), and a black cloak around his shoulders. His dress shirt was a dark red with a black vest over it and black pants. "You like? I'm a wizard," Nolan put his hands on his hips proudly. The pointy hat on his head fell over his eye a little in the process.

Lou scrutinized his outfit for a moment. "You look like a crossover between a vampire and a witch."

"First off: I'm not a witch. Women are witches. That's why I'm a wizard." Lou rolled his eyes. "Second: screw you." Nolan turned around, dramatically swooping his cloak around as well.

Lou shook his head, glancing over at Mandy and UglyDog. "And what are you two supposed to be?"

Mandy's was a little more obvious. She had a red cloak on, but it had a hood attached to it. She also had a red dress on that went down to her knees and knee-length boots. "I'm red riding hood, and UglyDog is the wolf."

UglyDog sat beside her feet, a wolf nose strapped to the front of his face. He looked up at Lou with a flat look, jerking his head up in a 'what's up' motion. "Woof."

Moxy bounded in front of Lou, arms spread out. "See? Halloween is fun! Now, come on, we gotta find you an outfit!" She grabbed him by the hand to drag him off somewhere.

"I am not dressing up as anything!" Lou protested, trying to dig his heels into the ground. It was a futile effort.

"Ooh! Ooh!" Nolan raised his hand with a grin, having an idea. "He could be Draco Malfoy."

"I can see it," Mandy agreed, grinning when Lou gave both of them a dirty look.

Moxy gasped and she looked at Lou with twinkling eyes, making him take a step back nervously. "I have the perfect idea."

______

"You know," Mandy folded her arms, looking Lou up and down with a smile, "it actually suits you quite well."

Moxy had managed to coerce Lou into a Captain America costume, the only requirement was that he didn't have to wear the helmet. Lou stood there, arms crossed and an unamused look on his face. "I hate everything about this."

"Where's the shield?" Nolan inquired, circling around Lou as he took in the once-in-a-lifetime moment of Lou wearing anything other than his suit.

"We couldn't find one," Moxy shrugged.

"I could use you as a shield," Lou grinned at Nolan.

Nolan ignored that comment in favor for giving the blond a sly look. "We actually missed out on an opportunity, come to think of it. We could have dressed you up as Pikachu since you have electric powers."

Lou glared at the brunette. "I'll stick with this, thanks."

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Yesterday, I had a dream that Angel was helping Buffy put out arson (during season seven? Or post-season seven when she's training the new Slayers?). But, like, Giles and Xander are convinced that he's the one setting the fires for some reason and that she should just stake him. And I think some of the new Slayers are, too. And Buffy's like, "That's ridiculous. And anyone who comes after Angel has to go through me first."

And since I'm sharing that dream, I guess I might as well mention some of the other Bangel (and Bangelus) dreams I've had that I haven't mentioned on this site yet. LOL Edit: Though before this dream became season seven or post-series, I was dreaming about season 1 stuff, and that there were episodes that very few people had gotten to see--because the network didn't like them as much or airing networks didn't like them as much, and I guess I was getting to see them.

...

There was this one where Angel had died, I think (probably after Not Fade Away), but there was a chance for him to come back. But The Powers That Be were wondering why anyone would even want that. And first Dawn, and then Buffy, were listing off all of his accomplishments as a Champion and what he had done for everyone as reasons. And I think Dawn in particular, as the Key, thought that if they didn't revive him, she could do it herself, with her Key powers (like, the dream was mostly Buffy listing Angel's accomplishments and wanting him back [though there was a little of Dawn doing so, too], but then Dawn basically being like, "Don't worry, sis, if they're still butts after all of this and won't help you, I've got your back.").

...

One was Buffy and Angel patrolling together around Christmas time... and for the occasion, Buffy decided to dress up like Santa Claus (without the beard). XD. And Giles was worried that Buffy might have trouble getting to her stake in time, and things like that, in that ensemble (though Buffy insisted that she was good), and Angel assured him that if that happened, he had her covered. LOL

...

And essentially, I had one where Buffy and Angel were in front of Sabrina Spellman's mirror, that was there before every episode of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch,"--that showed what outfit Sabrina would be in that episode. This one was really fun, and there were some hijinks there! I wish I remembered it more, but alas!

...

This one is a Bangelus one: Angelus is pretending to be Angel, and he and Buffy are together, and she's pregnant (I don't know if there's some prophecy about this, like maybe part of the reason Angelus is doing this, or not). Angelus might also be working for Wolfram & Hart in this dream, and is having his minions constantly watch Buffy to keep her and the baby safe... and she knows she's being tailed, and it annoys her to no end. And, of course, she eventually finds out that it's Angelus and sparks fly... and it's about this time that I woke up, and I kind of wish I hadn't, because I'd like to know where it would have gone.

But, anyway.

Edit: There was also one one time, where I was dreaming I was showing Buffy to my real life friend who's never seen the show: and it was an episode that doesn't exist (season one), where Angel was helping Buffy early on (before she knew he was a vampire). It was cool, and flirty (and Buffy was getting the biggest crush on Angel). I wish I remembered more about it, but it was cute.

I'm super curious about the fruit bat vampire WIP.

Sorry I took like bajillion years- I was going chronological order, and then some stuff happened irl :') and I might've made an artworks for it

HOWEVER, you chose a very nice (and extremely self indulgent) WIP even though its.. underdeveloped to say the least

Basically there was a dangerous witch/poe causing shenanigans and the colors were sent out to deal with it. The Poe or whatever definitely was setting up curses, although they don't know what the curses were intended to be.

During their battle with him, he ended up shooting Vio, even though Vio swung it back with the four swords (I mean it is a light magic sword). After the battle though, Vio just... didn't seem cursed at all. He was fine, so they all assumed that the curse didn't hit Vio at all.

But then the side effects started. Around the same time there were investigations on what the poe had actually been up to. Which was starting to look like some sort of evil transformation ritual. (the poe was probably trying to convert life force to magic, but they don't know that.)

Meanwhile, Vios become "ill" and he's sent to the castle infirmary, unable to eat foods (not even bread??), constant headaches from sounds and smells, looking pale, has a horrendous sleeping schedule, and- tiny claws and teeth. Confusion and... loss of speech? They realize this isn't a normal illness. There's a tainted magic in his blood. Slowly, yet surely infecting and warping him.

He's starving.

They put some dots together and well- Yeah he's like just becoming a straight up vampire isn't he?

And then let's just say within the next 24 hours not only has vio hissed and scratched a guard in the face, but he's also escaped and become. :) let us just say it like it is, "freaky as hell"

Unfortunately I do not have a more detailed artworks of that, the best I have is this:

but I feel like it gives the vibes off appropriately.

hes just acting feral, hiding in the rafters n etc 💀 Yeah its kinda hard to hide the fact that your brother is cursed as hell and might want to eat people when he's just climbing the walls and acting feral.

its ok that he's a lil ugly, he's still cute, like bats are yk?

they tried to "reason" with him and get him to follow them so they could try to undo the magic but the conversation went something like:

"heyyyy viooooooooo"

"..."

"wooowwww you.. made a freaky nest up there! thats- thats cool- um, but I'm SURE YOUD LOVE SOME BLANKETS AND SMALL ANIMALS (and not people) TO EAT RIGHT??"

"..."

*waves blood packet of animal blood from the kitchen*

"psst psst psst"

vio: *screeching and scampering, tries to 'lunge' on them but then falls down a flight of stairs and disappears*

"well. that didn't go to plan . - . o- o y-y"

XD, anyways some knights up finding THE FERAL VAMPIRE??? and they're like we're gonna kill it!!! and then the colors have to explain that they cant because THATS VIO

and well, to say they get some... divided responses... he might jump red at one point but well...

the truth of everything is that the poe was cursing people into animals, as a way to feast off of their misery. He was trying to turn vio into a bat (the bat being a fruit bat btw) but it only really hit him half way. So now he's taken on physical and mental traits of a bat without a full transformation.

theres a point where he jumps red who, earlier in the day, had spilled juice on himself (lil guy COULD NOT reach the highest shelf and it spilled on his head lol, he was in the kitchen stress baking because they forced him to rest)

They do eventually manage to figure it out (or Zelda does, she realizes that his behaviours are just like Jeremy's... If your'e confused, everyone else was too, she had to explain that when she was trapped under Vaati and Ganon and just fighting for her sanity because of the dark magic n etc, she became friends with a bat that lived there... and named him Jeremy. She is so sane and not effected by her time there, she was totally not shown horribly images of her kingdom falling and being manipulated and etc....)

Anyways there's also a thin where he experienced torpor (mini hibernation) once things chill the hell down lol, but the colors think he dead 0-0, this has spent too long in my drafts so I'm just gonna post it sorry for being 7 decades late

What costumes would DJATS characters wear for Halloween 1978?

Uhmm, cool one!!! Tough though. I pictured the shows actors and looks for this to work.

The band gets invited to a Halloween promo party at a Haunted mansión themed club party where everyone is presented the fancy way and like going down stairs, as everyone famous or cool IS going...Yeah so they have to be wearing a costume :

Lisa & Warren dresses as Gómez and Morticia Addams, he says that for once Gómez IS played by a latino. He keeps being disgustingly kissy all night long and throwing crass jokes.

Karen dresses in black leather trousers and almost seee through black shirt. She wears tons of makeup. She looks like a Barbie doll gothic edition. She wears red lenses and looks super sexy. Then just before the party she sprays herself with fake Blood and puts fake fangs...etc voila She's a Bloody Vampiress!

+ Graham dresses as a old time XIX cowboy, leather Duster jacket and everything , but Karen convinces him to be a bit more cool and terrifying, to match with her, so he puts some fake Blood on him on his neck and he brings his childhood fake toy gun and a spike , so now he IS a kinda punk Vampire Hunter cowboy. He looks amazing.

Camila dresses as a Vampire too, with sexy make Up (see Camila Morrone Nars Lipstick promo makeup) with a long flowy classy black dress and puts a very simple neck two fangs wounds. She sews a tiny black Witch dress with shiny bits,very pretty, 20's like gown for Julia, with a hat and everything, the hat part IS constantly rejected by Julia , that has other plans...and throws a tantrum until she gets to...wear a red wig, to be dressed as Daisy.

Billy Finally convinces Julia to be a Mini redhead Witch , so both his Girls are Happy. Julia gets the wig, but throws her hat all the time, Camila seems content, but is slightly sad and holds Julia's hat all the time she throws it away . Only just with the shiny black dress (that looks eerily very similar to the dying on the shower Daisy's outfit) she totally traumatises (unwillingly) Billy (for obvious ptsd reasons).

Speaking about the devilBilly...He hates this kinds of things, he always dress as himself with a sticker putting : Myself or alt "RockStar" or "Julia's Dad " "Camis husband" "Graham bro" "Daisy's Shithead"...Etc XD.

This year, and after :

1- Daisys jocking taunting him about last years non effort crappy costumes (75' 76' and 77' previous home parties).

2- Camila's sadness over the hat she made for Julia

and

3 - Julias tantrum.

He , for once, says fuck It! , and makes a Halloween effort, and a great one. He buys a profesional costume like those wore by actors. He looks sexy , regal like he just came out of the XIX century... And he dresses as a Classy regency Vampire, He even cuts his hair shorter just before the party, like when he was twelve, because Camila had told him that He would look super cute like that now too, to surprise her and make her Happy, after Julia's drama. Then he puts into good use the new beard he was growing (my inspo was thirsting over Sam dressed as Edmond Dantes at some of The Count of Montecristo promo pics and It showed XD). Also he wears fake fangs and a bit of fake Blood on his lower lip. He looks like The sexiest™.

Simone accompanies Billy for the surprise to her old time expensive costume store , and she dresses as a old time Queen Voodoo Witch (picture Marie Laveau) She looks like a queen (like always).

Bernie and Eddie dresses as a pair of terryfying realistic Zombies, as they both went to remind Daisy about the party (Bernie ordered by Simone and Eddie by Rod) ; then she uses them as her Makeup Guinea pigs... And gives them some clothes - that the lousy Nicky left forgotten at her House after the breakup- covered in strawberry Jelly. Then she creates fake wounds on both of them with melted cheese sheets and makeup on their skins, to create realistic fake wounds that seems ripped chomps of skin and meat. The both look like munched corpses. They scare themselves and the others. Simone IS super traumatised for Bernie. They are delighted if cheesy smeling XD. Warren jokingly steals one wound from Eddie and eats It. Everyone goes eew!!!

Rod dressed as Drácula a la Bela Lugosi. Super dapper.

Teddy dresses as an ancient Warlock, like Gandalf lord of the rings book drawings.

Daisy comes 2h'30 mins late, everyone thinks she forgot...and to be honest she kinda did forget about the party the first 30 min , until she got reminded by her dear zombies XD

But nope, shell be the Halloween Queen , she IS secretly that "unhinged for Halloween" group friend who likes to traumatise the rest,. She puts a super sexy silky White dress (inspo IS a dress Riley wore once silky and White) , but as she has inherited her father artistic drawing talent , she draws wounds on herself too, she puts something sticky red on those face and arms wounds, and some Green juice too, then she wets and messies her hair too, and goes shoeless...As adult Regan from the exorcist.

Also - as the dramatic little shit she is (affectionately)- She enters the party doing theatrics mimicking the unfamous stairs scene (those artistic gymnastic classes paid by her parents should be put on good use right?) Almost everyone feels like fainting or gets trauma wide mouthed, then as she stoods Up, Daisy just evil laughs...XD

Only one not traumatised , Its tiny Julia, who inmediatelly goes to Daisy hugs her and ask her if she likes her costume . Daisy praises Julias costume, as her "Kid self" was a terrifying little Monster, and after watching Camila holding the hat and Billy trauma face when watching Julia, she convinces Julia into wearing the hat and of being Witchy Baby!Daisy , as she always wanted to be a Witch as a kid. Camila silently thanks her. Billy seems relieved.

Julia then slightly concerned asks Daisy if she got chickenpox " like I did when I started school" and then scrached like she did XD

Billy almost dies of laughter after that.

Everyone relaxes then and has a great time.

Julia wins the costumes kids award of the party as Mini Daisy.

Simone wins best female costume. Billy Its tied with Graham as co winners for male costumes. Daisy wins the best scare /scary time , but never gets invited again to the club party, as the old owner almost got a Heart attack XD

She then start a tradition of making a Halloween party at her House... Everyone Its terrified to go (sauf Julia, brave little nugget she IS).

As an Adult Julia grows even more unhinged than Daisy for Halloween...Dressing as Samara from the Ring or as La Llorona and keeps jumping from corners !!! Billy IS very afraid of her during that week and blames everyone for it. Camila shrugs It off, she's used to that dumbasery already XD.

Looong ooneee, I know.

Thats It!

[popironrye]

Are The Lost Boys Poly or Platonic?

Answer - Yes?

If I could lore dump a little, I'd like to add after seeing discussion on this topic:

When I created my trio of lost boys ocs (Blair Stevie and Mavin) to write a love story between them +star and the boys, I thought making them all poly would be more interesting to write about. See I don't much care for writing and art that involved the boys all sharing a single (usually woman) stand in where all the romantic stuff is done by one or more boy at a time with this stand in while the others just kinda wait their turn. OC, self-insert, reader insert or otherwise. It always came off to me as harem-ish and there's nothing wrong with that OF COURSE, it's just not what I'm into.

And with my ocs specifically, I also could have gone the hetero monogamous route, since there are 4 women and 4 boys. That being Blair with David, Stevie with Dwayne, Star with Paul (which I really do ship btw), and Mavin with Marko but the lost boys always had this queer coded side (even though I am shipping them with women) and having my girls, Blair specifically being a bisexual women who falls in love with Star is something I wanted to focus on, not to mention I like my ocs with all the boys. I think they can get a different equal level of romantic enjoyment with a different boy, and therefore my girls are poly with the boys as well as Star. Standard convention of romance kinda seems like a nebulous rule to follow when you have immortal vampires and witches in the mix, so why not make them all bi and poly?

Now of course, I do have a story in the works where everyone is one big platonic family. Judy and her daughters. 'The blood sucking brady bunch' as I've so affectionally called them. In this work, Judy and Max are romantically involved but they're the only non platonic ones as the boys acting as Max's sons and Judy's actual daughters begin to pal around like step siblings and they behave as such. In that work, I also put a lot of emphasize on familial love with Judy being a caring mother who would do anything for her children and having her take in the boys as sons she never had. I also want to see Judy pull Max out of his shell. He kinda distances himself from the boys and to him it's for their own good and keeps him out of the trouble they're always getting into, but Judy knows what's it like having 3 teenage daughters of her own that get into trouble. Max is a much more involved father figure to the boys with Judy's help as well as a figure to her little girls.

Ok, so I dumped a lot there, but I hope this shows that writing to boys platonic or non platonic are both valid and depend on the work they're used in. XD

But what about you guys? Please share how you've charactized the boys in your own work! I'd love to hear about your own ocs and sonas! 😍

[blubushie]

Hi my name is Blu Dark’ness Dementia Raven Bushie and I have dirty strawberry blonde hair with purple streaks and red tips that is in a mullet and light blue-grey eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Sniper TF2 (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Moxxi Borderlands but I wish I was because she’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m 23). I’m a bushman (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly flannel. I love walmart and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a red flannel shirt with the first few buttons undone and a brown cargo pants, a Marine Corps KA-BAR on my left hip in the sheathe attached to my belt and dingo (cowboy) boots. I was wearing shooting glasses, a leather hat with a crocodile tooth band, a crocodile tooth necklace and holding my pre-64 Winchester Model 70. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

“Hey Blu!” shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. sniper tf2!

“What’s up sniper?” I asked.

“Nothing.” he said shyly.

But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

AN: i hop u liek it XD !!

This is hilarious unfortunately I have to die now

[drawing-way-outside-the-lines]

@tia-amorosa asked on this post: 'OK, so… Why does he look more like her brother than her father? He's not a bit older than her (at least visually). Who/where is the mother? :) '

Well, the very beginning of my story was written when I was in a very bad place in life. Andy (guy with blue hair in the post you commented on) was my way to live out a life I could never have. The character wanted kids, and as I was committed to write his every day life in real time format, but I wasn't committed to write a story with kids taking real life time to grow up. Imagine writing a kid growing up from day one and 18 years ahead in time, who can commit to 18 years of writing a child aging? And Andy wanted kids, lots of kids. So, I simply decided that kids would be able to age in an unnatural way. I originally started writing my story, as a small funtime project with a friend, she had a character whom was a vampire, so supernatural stuff had already been a part of my story, it felt natural to simply roll with that. That way, I both in game and in my written story, didn't have to deal with kids taking forever to age up. In my story kids take roughly 1 year to age from infant to adult, but time can depend a bit on outside circumstances such as the environment or the individual child. In my story men can also get pregnant in various supernatural ways. Furthermore, one kid can have more than 2 parents. Again it's supernatural, I don't mind elaborating if you wish, but I'll leave it at this for now, since it's already becoming a long answer, I have demons, summoners, shapeshifters, witches and other kinds of supernatural beings in my story, and also humans that are simply immortal. So Andy ass you see, is technically 39, and his daughter is technically from 2016 or 2017 I think? But her current age translates into roughly 28-29-ish. Willow's "mother", is technically also a man, named Congo. Supernaturals and humans coexist in my story, but most humans don't know about the supernatural world. Also there's more focus on none supernatural stuff in my story/pics, which is probably why I can still get an answer like this, even after so many years on Tumblr XD There's many layers to my story/characters/universe, and some are downright questionable, at best. I write a story/characters that I don't always agree with, but I like challenging myself as a writer and my own beliefs/mentality. But I don't shy away from questions, as long as people try to keep in mind my story is fiction. And not in anyway meant as a display on how real life should be. It's supernatural. Thank you for the question, always feel free to ask.

2024 Book List

Books read: Approx. 14+ (some books missing from this list)

Trials of Apollo [1] - Rick Riordan

I was a Percy Jackson kid in the late stages of high school, I jumped on the train late, and never finished. Trials of Apollo made me want to read them again--especially because of references that I just did not fully understand as it called back to other books XD Apollo is the character of all time though, love to see this man now boy go through it. If anyone had to be humbled, I'm glad it was him so he could become a good dad in the future and possibly pass that on to the other gods (x to doubt).

Some Faraway Place [Audio Book] - Lauren Shippen

I'm still a Rose un-enjoyer, but the book itself was incredibly enjoyable. It fed my Damien Enjoyer cravings, and Rose's story in and of itself is interesting, between her family and relationships, but I just... don't vibe with her. It's okay to not like people, she's one of them, I don't hate her. Gave me intense inspo for a TBS game.

Jackaby [Audio Book] - William Ritter

Jackaby was an incredibly interesting book. While I can't put this one into words, it was highly enjoyable, and the narration was top notch! Supernatural, and banshees, and werewolves oh my. A funky little Sherlock Holmes type.

The Cure for Burnout [Ironically Unfinished] - Emily Ballestros

Hahaha.

Garlic and the Vampire [Graphic Novel] - Bree PaulsenGarlic and the Witch [Graphic Novel] - Bree Paulsen

Garlic is such a little baby, I love Bree Paulsen's graphic work, and that's all there is to say on the matter.

Into the Pit [Unfinished] - Scott Cawthon

LBR I just read it for the one story. Will try to finish the others another time.

Indebted to the Vampires [1] - Erin Bedford

UH. So it's host club fanfic with ocs, but bad host club fanfic. Also a little smutty, but just a little clunky. 

Wicked Appetite [Audio Book] - Janet Evanovich

It had an okay concept! The narration made it extra hard, and I hated Dissel's personality. The gluttony charms (gluttonoids??) had awful effects, and sure it made sense but I didn't like them dfdgh. A one off read.

Bride [Unfinished] - by Ali Hazelwood

LMAO I, couldn't do it. They named the girl Misery and- Despite this books placement on the page, I'm pretty sure I bought this book in January and just couldn't get through it. And then I read the content warnings on the website at the end of the year and I cant believe they just had this one sitting in the front of Target like a prize...

The Hunger Games [Book and Audio Book interchangably]

This book was better than I remember and yet more emotional (for me) than I remember. Just getting through that first iconic scene of Katniss volunteering for Prim made me teary and emotional. The way they all banded together the moment she did, a silent act of solidarity. That in itself felt like the true first moment of rebellion in a way. It's terrible to think of, kids so young, going into an arena knowing they're bound to die. And the twist of them being told they could both live, only to have it snatched away--if it were Cato and Glimmer(?), there would have been no hesitation, only Katniss could come up with a stunt like that. The worldbuilding was great, and I know we see more of it in the next book, I just have to... get to it. I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE DOG PART, AND I'M STILL MAD ABOUT IT, WTF--Truly I must have blocked that part out. That was so rude dfghgj

Aisle Nine [Audio Book] - Ian X Cho

Black Friday apocalypse? Yeah. Post apocalyptic apocalyptic setting where the main characters are older teens working retail. The plot twist was interesting, the side characters were goofy (in a good way). A tale about hope in hopelessness, with a bit of that YA romance aspect sprinkled in. Wasn't *unbearable*, but end game was always apparent. I kept forgetting the MC's name throughout the story wheeeze (Sorry Casper- oop I mean Jasper). 

The Week Before [Dubiously Finished] - Scott Cawthon

Choose your own adventure of Ralph! Phone Guy gets a name! Phone Guy has a daughter,,, yeesh, poor guy. Fnaf's biggest fan and they did him dirty like this, can't believe.

Books I'm looking forward to finishing:

The Cinnamon Bun Book Store - Laurie Gilmore

Reflected Light - F.Nevarez

[paladin-of-nerd-fandom65]

For Maya and Kathy, I usually imagine them being ones who lean more into the magical side of things in the Dark Monster verse

Kathy's a witch with telekinesis and Maya's a past vampire hunter who is now a mage with learned abilities, and because of that, she can also turn herself invisible whenever she wants just like in canon

They both live together in Kathy's tree house, which is hidden away in the deep woods near the rest of the other monsters, since they know mortals would never accept them either for what they are. All monsters always go to them whenever they need anything or when something urgent has happened and they know they're just the perfect ones to hopefully fix it for them with their powers and spells

Oh OH those sounds perfect and fitting for each of them beyond belief

Those two would make for great allies for Jon during his adventures and battles against much more malevolent nasties that come their way

I love these soooooo much XD @spider-jaysart

Btw, I'm gonna save my questions about book plots because I sent you something about Prince Lestat and then I went to Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis and I don't even know what to think anymore. 🤔🤷‍♀️😅 When I finish Blood Communion and Interview With the Vampire I can come back with them lol. Now, I don't know if I asked it before and if I did, I'm sorry and you can just send me the link instead of answering again, but who are your favorite Anne Rice characters and why? How do you feel about the show? And you said you don't like human vampires as much, but is it just about their physical characteristics or do you also prefer when they aren't as emotional and conflicted as Anne's/IWTV's?

LOL, no worries--you didn't ask about characters before. Imma ask YOU the same questions, once you've finished all the books, so be prepared! 😈

My fave AR characters are:

🧛 Fave (Male) Vampire - Armand: This boy's been through SO MUCH misery, and yet he's still standing strong as THE boogeyman of rogue vampires, what an icon. I love that he's SMART--despite being an adolescent, Armand's never been stupid. He's got a genre savvy ruthlessness to him, seeing & noticing things that tend to fly over the heads of other people (*cough* Lestat *cough*). Granted, sometimes it makes him look like a cruel a-hole (a la the Replimoids); but other times he's the only sane one in the room (a la Rhoshamandes). But it's just like Claudia--kids are just more in-tune to things than adults are.

🧛‍♀️ Fave (Female) Vampire - Claudia: She creeps me out, and I love her for it. I couldn't handle being in a 5-year old's body, even when I was 5; and that was just for a year, let alone 60+. I'd've killed EVERYONE. I love how Claudia's IQ is through the roof, and how much she makes Lestat, this grown effing man, look like an utter toddler. It's hilarious. She's just following him around, staring at him him silently, and he's like LOUIS, SAVE MEEE~! XD She's such a BAMF. AR doesn't tend to write women very well, but she writes children REALLY well, esp. Claudia. Omfg what an incredible character.

👻 Fave Ghost/Spirit - Azriel (Servant of the Bones): TRAGIC, what happened to him. It's hilarious to see how although he and Lasher have very similar origins, Azriel didn't turn into a psychotic rapist sadistic eugenicist. Azriel actually tries to help SAVE the world and HELP people, despite all the curses put on him, and the ways he was demonized. He's a literal angel; he just so happens to also be a dead man, lol.

🧙‍♀️ Fave witch/psychic - Michael Curry (Mayfairs): THOR WITH HIS HAMMER before Marvel was cool! My favorite AR character, PERIOD; from my fave AR book, PERIOD. He's a blue collar architect with a scholar's soul and an aristocrat's aesthetics. He loves renovating fancy Victorian houses, and is secretly in love with tweed, even as he schleps around in his dirty construction-worker clothes. So many contradictions! He's got a big heart, and he works with his hands--so OF COURSE after his near-death experience you find out he's an empath/psychic who can feel emotions through his fingertips. And of COURSE he falls in love with a woman who just so happens to have inherited a slightly run-down Victorian mansion in the same city where he grew up as a kid, in THAT house where he always thought he saw a strange man looking at him him who no one else could see.... SUCH a perfect setup, and AMC effing BLEW IT. Sure, Cirprien Grieve is cool, he's one of the best characters in that dumpster fire of a show, but he's got NOTHING on Michael.

🧬 Fave Taltos - Ashlar (Taltos): Getting his backstory was SO cool. LEAGUES more interesting than Lasher's, cuz Ashlar just KNOWS more. He's lived A LOT longer, and he never lost his empathy & loving heart. He makes toy dolls for a living, ffs. I felt so bad for him, living all alone cuz people think he's a freak, with his strange height & hands & feet & eating habits. I would've happily been his Morrigan (so long as I had the extra chromosome, ofc, LOL).

👽 Fave Replimoid - Kapetria (PL Trilogy): I hate when AR writes Black people; esp. Black women. Even Merrick got on my nerves; and the way AR wrote about her was gross, fetishized by David & Aaron as if all she was good for was to be lusted after for her body or exploited for her magic. But Kapetria's an alien, so she's just way cooler & more interesting--NO ONE is disrespecting her, unless they want a syringe stabbed in their effing eyeball.

🐺 Fave werewolf/morphenkinder - Margon: I just love when AR has these primordial beings who've lived for 10,000+ years and have seen the world when it was young and humans were all still swinging from trees and nature was full of magic and the immortals lived in innocent harmony before The Cataclysm Effed Everything Up, And Now I Am The Only One Left To Tell The Tale Of My People. I fall for it every time, and Margon's another one.

👭🏻 Fave Twin - Mekare: The strong silent type, even though ironically back when she still had her tongue she was the talkative charismatic Alpha type twin. Mekare's just about that action; everyone else was busy tryna talk to Akasha, all democratic & diplomatic--but all Mekare had for her was STRAIGHT HANDS. You love to see it.

Fun, Drama & Supernatural - Introduction

Hello there, folks \o/! Over at my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/PsylockeX), I've started, or well continued, my stories that I play. Currently, they're on Pandasama's discord, but not everyone uses discord. So, when talking to my moots a couple of weeks ago, one gave the idea of putting my stories on Tumblr. I thought, double that and do Patreon as well.

So, this is basically a copy/pasta of what's on my Patreon cuz it's the same thing 🤭.

This story is not appropriate for under 18s. It contains strong language, mature themes and at times will have suggestive/explicit images...or as explicit as Patreon (and Tumblr) will allow me to get 🤣. This story may also deal with issues that are triggering to some. I will warn in advance if such themes are covered in a story section.

With that out of the way...I introduce THE MITSUHIDE DYNASTYYYYYY! 🎊🎊

 Jinx Mitsuhide & Caleb Vatore

Jinx mastered her control over ice and cold, eventually befriending Caleb Vatore, an ancient vampire from The Forgotten Hollow. Caleb forgot to feed one day, and Jinx offered her neck. As a result, Jinx was turned into a vampire, and the two married soon after when their bond deepened. They had triplets, one of whom also has two sons with extraordinary power. 

Jinx sports blue hair (which is natural by the way) and deep blue eyes, due to her ice affinity. Caleb also has brown eyes with light brown hair which he keeps tied up. In their dark form, Jinx sports white eyes, while Caleb has near-ruby red eyes.

Lin Mitsuhide

Lin Mitsuhide is the oldest sister of Jinx, and the eldest daughter of the dynasty. In the years following her father's passing, she developed pyrokinesis (fire powers) as a result of her lineage. She married a man called J Huntington and had 3 sons with him. J, being an otherworldly being, relinquished his powers and passed on, after which Lin learnt he really wasn't of this world.

Lin's sons, JJ and Vincenzo, married a lycan and a vampire respectively. Vincenzo has twins, a son named Mikhail and a daughter named Audrey. Both are very powerful vampires, strengthened by the fact they are twins. You'll see one of them later.

Lin has fire red hair and deep red eyes which reflect light as a red hue. Not only can she wield fire, she can also bend minds to her will. She is one of the strongest witches to walk the earth in this era 😯.

The Date-Collette pack

Sean Collette is the guy with the fingerless gloves and black hair. He's a vampire warlock, born of a spellcaster and a vampire. That vampire is Jasmine Vatore. Yes, daughter of Caleb and Jinx. Sean carries very strong genes that only strengthen as the generation goes on. His sapphire blue eyes and slotted irises in his dark form are a physical demarcation of this fact.

Guy in the grey hoodie is Kiyoshi Ito. He's the son of the Ito family that's well known in Mount K. Not only is he basically the textbook 'rich family's son', he is also a descendant of a supernatural race called The Awakened or Awoken (totally not borrowing that from Destiny 😇🤣). He sports ice white eyes and unusually pale skin, which indicates his ice affinity. Him and Sean are married to Hina, who has a daughter with Sean named Luna. (Side note: Polyamory is very common place in this story, especially among supernatural beings XD).

Now, who's the other guy? 🤔

Mikhail Huntington

Probably someone you should keep away from...just saying...👀...XD

Anyway. Mikhail Huntington is Vincenzo Huntington's son, therefore...Lin's grandson. He's a vampire, and not just any vampire for that reason. Because of Lin's mastery over telepathy and psychic energy, Mikhail manifested a version of this power in a different way. He has the ability to manipulate and induce lust. Many in the supernatural community think he's really an incubus...they're wrong, but hey 🤭.

He wields this power almost too well, swaying any situation in his favor and laughing at people's embarrassed reactions. His powers work whether the target is attracted to him or not. He's able to reach into people's minds and manipulate their perception of him. So, if he want to appear to you like a bat, he'll make that happen. Regardless of his kinky nature, he's quite the gentleman and is very skilled in detective deduction. If you need something to be snuffed out, ask him. Just don't fall for his charms 🤭.

Mikhail sports red hair, inherited from his father and white eyes in his dark form. In his human form, he has blue eyes. He has a body tattoo and wears sexy chokers along with his hoodies. Due to his immense power, he also has 4 fangs instead of just 2. In addition to this, he's also part of Hina's pack 🤭.

So! These are the main players in the story. Yes, there are much more characters than this, but these are the main peeps. Next post will be a recap of the story so far. Stay tuned! 😀
