Batfam During Quarantine: Training Day

Thanks so much for the amount of love the last post got!I’m sorry it took me so long to post this next one, school and other stuff started to get in the way, so to make up for it I added a surprise arc at the end. I might start doing theses in chunks to save time and fill in any gaps where I don’t post as much because of school. Not so sure yet but it’s just an idea. I hope that if you read this you enjoyed it! I am going to try and post more frequently now that I’m almost caught up with my school work.

Damian: Good morning Tim! I made you breakfast.

Tim: What do you know? Why are you calling me Tim?

Cassandra: Plus three large hot cups of coffee.

Tim: What’s going on? Why are you guys acting so weird?

Cassandra: No reason. Just want to be nice.

Tim: Nope. That’s not it. What did you guys do.

Jason: Done making Tim’s bed! I’m off to steam his suit!

Tim: WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON???

Cassandra, Damian, and Jason: *in unison* We just want to be nice. *all three surround him in a big hug*

Tim: THIS IS SO WEIRD!

Dick: *walks into the breakfast room* Morning Tim! How’s it going?

Tim: NO! ALL OF YOU LEAVE ME ALONE! *storms out of the breakfast room*

Dick: What did you do to Tim?

Jason: We have no idea.

Damian: The dude is losing it.

Dick: *gets face to face with Cassandra* Cass, do you have something to say?

Cassandra: We woke up early and decided to be nice to Tim for no reason.

Dick: You guys are evil. Go have your fun.

All three run out of the room.

Jason: TIM LET US LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Daily Briefing

Dick: Hey, Babs doesn’t know your here. I don’t want her to get jealous or something so could you please join the zoom call from another room.

Helena: Sure, I understand, lover.

Dick: No, we aren’t going through that again.

Helena: I make no promises.

Tim: You know you’re going to be in deep shit when Barbara finds out, right?

Dick: I’m in deep shit anyway.

Tim: Very true.

Dick: *begins the zoom call* Hey everyone, so if you can’t tell, Huntress has arrived to help out. Now, to everyone at the manor I created a schedule for when to work out. They should be completed before patrol. For those of you at home, I trust that you made your own.

Barbara: Yep!

Kate: Please, I’ve been training much harder than most of you guys since I was 6.

Harper: Yeah, sorta did. Not able to do much because I’m not at the cave.

Dick: That actually leads me to my next point. Harper I made a schedule for you because Bruce, Alfred, Selina, and I found a way to have Cullen inside the mansion without him finding out who Batman really is. Cullen already knows the alter egos of Red Robin, Spoiler, Orphan, and Nightwing. Everyone else is a question mark, so we will allow you to enter the mansion. When Cullen is around, we all will have to restrain from talking about our vigilante work. Have everything ready by next week. Once you arrive you’ll have to quarantine in your room for two weeks.

Harper: Awesome!

Dick: Today there has actually been no crime in Gotham City, so far, so we’ll take a day off, but if something comes up, cases will be assigned as they normally are. So everyone, after training, feel free to relax but be ready in case something pops up.

Dick and Jason

Dick: *turns on his training playlist, first song being “Devil in I” from Slipknot*

Jason: You know what, if this is the kind of stuff you have on your playlist, I might actually enjoy training with you!

Dick: I have 357 songs on here.

Jason: Damn!

Dick: What did you expect, I listen to every genre!

Jason: Really! I should actually start listening whenever people talk.

Dick: Remember that next time Bruce yells at you for shooting someone.

Jason: I’m just saying, if I mistake someone’s knee cap for their head, is it really that bad?

Dick: *laughs* Yes!

The two stretch a bit before moving on to pommel horse.

Dick: Figured you’d want to get this out of the way first.

Jason: Fuck you!

Dick: Just think of the music, and not falling.

Jason: *goes for a loop on pommel horse and bangs his legs against the pommels and falls* AHHHHHHH!

Dick: Maybe I should take pommels off first?

Jason: That’s an option? Then yes, please do so!

Dick: *quickly takes of the pommels then goes for a magyar, a triple russian, flare, spindle, press handstand one and a half piro, and flawlessly sticks his dismount*

Jason: Show off.

Duke and Damian

Dick and Jason had been training for an hour and fifteen minutes before Duke and Damian walked in. After stretching, the two began to spar.

Dick: Duke! You made a mistake when choosing your partner.

Jason: Nah! My boy Duke will show Dami who’s the boss.

Duke: I honestly like my chances!

Damian: Good Thomas, your over confidence will be your doom!

The two begin to fight. Damian dives right for Duke, rolling out and uses his momentum to go for a front flip and kick Duke in the chest, however Duke evades Damian’s strike and trips him after Damian lands.  Damian gets back up though, thrashing at Duke. Duke dodges each strike and finally jabs Damian in the gut a few times and kicks him in the chest. That would be the only fight out of the three they had that Duke won. 

Afterwards, Dick began to teach him the basics on both high bar. Duke was able to catch on very quickly and by the end of his training on high bar he was learning how to do kips and flyaways. Dick and Duke also decided to tumble together so Duke could learn the basics and some advanced skills too.

Damian spent the rest of his time trying to out do Jason. When Jason was using 100 lb weights, Damian would use 120′s. When Jason ran 5 miles, Damian ran 6. 

Jason: Dami, you’re going to be extremely sore. Take it easy.

Damian: Easy? *huff* Let me *huff* remind you that *huff* I was also trained *huff* by the League *huff* of Assassins. *runs to the garbage to throw up* I am superior *huff* than all of *huff* you in every way.

Jason: Okay bud. Well, I’m about to spar with Dick.

Damian: I’ll fight Grayson, too. *jogs up to Dick while moaning in pain* *huff* Fight me Grayson. *huff*

Dick: I’m not going to fight you. You look like you’ll pass out.

Damian: I’m *huff* fine.

Dick: Throw a punch at me like you normally would without groaning in pain.

Damian: *starts to punch but his fist his Dick like a soft tap* Ahhhhhh.

Dick: Go rest, take an ice bath, eat a lot of fruits, and drink a lot of water.

Damian: Okay, *huff* but only because *huff* you said so.

Dick and Jason then started to fight and after they concluded, Dick took the trash bag that Damian hurled in and tossed it out. An hour later Duke concluded his workout.

Cassandra and Julia

Cassandra: Woooo! Are you ready?

Julia: Your enthusiasm is a little bit concerning.

Cassandra: Yeah, but just deal with it.

Since she arrived to the mansion Julia has not let herself stop her routine. She has been training as much as she has been since her days in Britain's Special Reconnaissance Regiment. However as soon as she saw Cassandra doing freestanding handstand push-ups while doing an inverted crunch, she knew she had to up her game.

Cassandra just ignored the list Dick gave her for the most part and did the craziest exercises she could think of. When she started strength conditioning, she ran to the still rings and tried to do what she saw Dick doing once. She tried an azarian to an iron cross but immediately fell through the rings. it took her twenty minutes but she finally made it to the iron cross and rolled backwards into a planche. An hour later she finish conditioning and waited for Julia to finish so the two could spar.

Julia: Okay, you ready? *walking over from the treadmill*

Cassandra: More than ready! Lets do this! *she started bouncing on her toes like a boxer*

Cassandra won all three fights within a matter of minutes. Julia almost had a chance in the second one where Cassandra lost her balance, but she reacted too slow as Cassandra regained it and knocked Julia to the floor.

Selina and Helena

Selina focused more on her agility during her cardio workout than anything else. I mean, it’s definitely something that she takes pride in so why wouldn’t she?

Helena: Hey, can I ask you a question? *throwing punches toward Selina*

Selina: Sure! *dodges each strike, jumps off the wall, and dives over Helena’s head*

Helena: What’s the situation between Dick and Barbara? *grabs Selina’s torso and slams her body down*

Selina: Oof. *gets back up from the floor and sits down with Helena* Don’t think of it. Dick is all sad that he has to stay at the mansion without Barbara. I wouldn’t even try to approach Dick about the situation because he’ll act even more weird then when you arrived.

Helena: That explains this morning.

Selina: What happened?

Helena: I said hey and he replied with “Hey, what’s up, gir......friend, lady. Girl who is a friend and a lady. Saved it.” Then, just for fun, I pinched his ass and he jumped up and screamed. 

Selina: You’re playing with fire, I don’t blame you for pinching his ass though.

Helena: Hold on, it gets better. After that I leaned towards him and he started leaning over the table and asked, what’s wrong lover. He then stepped to the side and said “Nothing, nothing.” and started walking backwards saying “coolcoolcool” until he reached the door.

Selina: Why bother messing with his head?

Helena: Because it’s fun. Plus I still feel like there is something there. 

Selina: Very well. Now that you have that out of your system let’s head to the showers.

Helena: You won’t tell Dick, right?

Selina: What you just told me is between you and Dick. I will not interfere in any way.

Stephanie and Tim

Tim: *walks in tired as hell* Hey Steph. You ready?

Stephanie: Yeah!

Tim: Alright. Cool.

Both Stephanie and Tim go to do their separate training regimes. Tim however, being extremely tired started to move very slow during his workout. Halfway through his work out he stepped out to grab a five hour energy shot and started flying through his conditioning list that Dick made. 

Tim: You ready to spar? *jumping around like a rabbit, then lands sideways, falling to the floor only to get back up*

Stephanie: *looking at Tim like he’s a crackhead* No, I think we should skip the sparring match today.

Tim: No, come on let’s go! *grabs Stephanie's wrist and drags her over to the sparring arena*

Stephanie: Tim your going to hurt yourself. Instead of sparring let’s take a nap.

Tim: Come on, sleeping is for people who have don’t have tragic backstories. Let’s fight!

Tim tries to throw a few quick jabs but Stephanie quickly sweeps Tim’s legs causing him to fall. Stephanie Runs forward pointing her fist at his throat.

Tim: Owww! That’s abuse! You abused myself! Why are you mean?!

Stephanie: Tim, when was the last time you slept?

Tim: Ummmmm........... Tuesday?

Stephanie: Okay, training is over, go let yourself rest.

Tim: Pffft. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. 

Stephanie: Okay. *text Dick* Hey Dick, we have a code yellow.

Dick: *text back* On my way up.

Tim: You know I like to live by the words of the Beastie Boys anyway. No sleep ‘til Brooklyn, and because I have never been to Brooklyn, I am not obligated to sleep.

Stephanie: You have a problem!

Tim: No, *points his finger dramatically at Stephanie*  you have a problem.

Dick: *walks in* Hey Tim, I have a case I want to work on with you.

Tim: *to Stephanie* See, now I can’t sleep.

Dick: We’ll take the Batmobile.

*3 hours later*

Dick: Okay, we just entered Brooklyn. Now go to sleep!

Tim: No fair, you tricked my brain.

Dick: SLEEEEEEEEP!

Tim: NO!

Dick: Why are you staying up all night?

Tim: Because, I don’t want anything to change! *starts sobbing*

Dick: It’s okay, you’re alright. *pulls over to the side of the road*

Tim: No I’m not. Everything is changing and I don’t want it to. I don’t want to fall out of my habits because what about when things get back to normal. Then we have to build those habits again, and what if while we are readjusting someone dies because we weren’t ready. Plus, there is so much stress with helping Bruce keep his company from falling, trying to finish my homework, training, and patrolling the nights where there is more activity. 

Dick: *embraces Tim in his arms* Look change is going to happen whether we like it or not. It’s not what happens that shapes who we are but how we react to the changes that occur in our lives that do. The world is never going to be the same after this pandemic is over, so you could either adapt, or repeat your mistakes. It’s okay to not be okay. You are not alone, you have all of us at the mansion to talk to. Another thing that you have to keep in mind is that people are going to die. We both knew that the moment we signed up, and sometimes there is nothing we can do about it. All we can do is learn from what happened to stop it from happening again. You also need to get some sleep. I know you are under a lot of stress right now, not going to lie, but you have it worse than all of us right now, but how do you expect to save others if you won’t take care of yourself. 

Tim: *starts calming down*

Dick: I’ll talk to Bruce tonight to see if he could cut you some slack. I’ll find a way to help out too now that we aren’t patrolling as much. Just make sure to take care of yourself.

Tim: Okay.

Dick: Smart, toit.

Tim: Stop it Peralta. *begins to laugh*

Dick: *laughs pretty hard* Now get some rest, I’ll wake you up when we get back to Gotham.

Tim: Okay. I guess.

Black Mask, Hush, Two-Face, and Jason Bard

The night was very silent as Roman Sionis looked upon Gotham from the building. It was quiet, empty, peaceful, and disturbing. Hush walked into the room, followed by Harvey Dent and Jason Bard.

Black Mask: Congratulations, you found your way here.

Jason Bard: You’re pretty easy to find when you want to be.

Black Mask: Or is it because no one else is on the street other then your snitches.

Jason Bard:......

Hush: You called us here. What do you want?

Black Mask: Look out at the city. Tell me what do you see.

The three men walk forward towards the window.

Two-Face: Fear.

Hush: Silence.

Jason Bard: Caution, and paranoia.

Black Mask: You are all correct, but you missed one thing.

Two-Face: Stop playing games! What do you want us to see?

Black Mask: Opportunity.

[glampsychedelic]

viola

Name: Viola Marinus [She was named after Viola var-tricolor hortensiuos, id est, the scientific name for pansies]

Age: Thirty-five [35]

Gender: Female [MTF, had had a recent surgery]  

Race: Human, native to Vale

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 141 lbs

Hair: Blonde

Eyes: A curious shade of violet-blue.

Sexuality: Panromantic

Occupation: Herbalist/Singer/Co-owner of Ophie’s Flowers. Former Huntress [license suspended]

Alumni: Beacon

Voice claim: Julie London

Face Claim: Shion Karanomori, Psycho Pass

Allusion

Since her name represents pansies, she alludes to the same flowers that Ophelia gives to Queen Gertrude in the play Hamlet. The flowers themselves stand for thoughts, in the play. This allusion would make much more sense, when paired with her sister – who alludes to Rosemary flowers, which stands for ‘remembrance’. She can also be seen to allude to Viola from another Shakespearean play, Twelfth Night.

Personality

Viola initially presents herself as withdrawn, reserved, but is certainly not aloof. She is warm and welcoming, when it comes to company. She is fairly open regarding her opinions and past.

While she does skirt around the topic of her drug abuse and suspended license, she can entrust this information if she finds that she can trust the other, and it is very easy to make her trust someone. For better, or for worse.<

She is not stubborn, but can still be very difficult to persuade from time to time. She stands up for what she believes in, albeit in a more diplomatic manner. When push comes to shove, however, she is not afraid to get down to blows. This is fairly rare, as she is normally rather patient.

Her speech is not refined, and she certainly does not hold back from flirting – but she still maintains a level of respect for the other.  She is not miserly, but is careful with how she handles her money. She has a fair amount of experience with accounting and other financial matters.

She is not a risk taker, and tends to be extremely careful with the law [the result of her past actions and their consequences]. She is emotionally rather brittle, and is prone to having mental breakdowns under overwhelming amounts of stress. Not exactly the most fastest decision taker.

She is very often considered to be the younger of the two, despite the fact that she is the elder sister. Loves singing, playing her guitar, song composing and fooling around with scrolls/data machines.

Weapons and Abilities

Having her license suspended had her stripped of her weapon – though she now has to make do with a simple gun. Nonetheless, this is not her area of expertise and she would much rather not get her hands on a ‘proper weapon’.

Her semblance [Olfactre illudere] is one she uses from time to time. She is capable of reducing the odour dilution of a certain scent, and dilute other odors in her environment. With this, she si able to create a subliminal scent and thus manipulate the olfactory awareness of an individual.

She can easily make a person hyperaware of certain scents, which can cause an over simulation – thus leading to sensory overload. She is also capable of create hallucination with the use of this semblance, and preexisting fumes of something hallucinogenic.

This, however, does not work if there is a strong wind, if it si sued with a Grimm, or in open spaces, with plenty of sensory details. Nor can it work with those who are wearing something to cover their nose.

When it comes to firearms, she prefers to use a .22 Center fire Magnum Handgun, or a Crossman (66 model), but this is something she deliberately avoids, preferring to go hand -to -hand, or use an array of scalpels as throwing knives.

Her aura is a dull shade of mulberry.

Backstory

Growing up was far from being a peaceful affair. Both her parents were constantly at each other’s throats. Added to that was their rather poor earnings. Her father was manual laborer, whilst her mother was a herbalist.

Neither her nor her sister were never under the fire, but it was evident that their parents were no longer planning on keeping things hidden from them. This was emotionally exhausting for her, and as a result – ended up learning how to control how she felt.

Even so, she tried her best to emotionally support her sister – and eventually, when they decided to become Huntresses, financially as well. In the mean time, she had already fallen into the wrong company, acquired a habit of partying a little too much. It wasn’t long before she developed an addiction for nicotine, tobacco and vivari – among other drugs.

Viola eventually tried becoming clean when she noticed how much this was damaging her – and for a few years, she succeeded.

Shortly after Salvia and her had acquired their licenses,  she ran across a few of her old acquaintances – who were still ingesting vivari. One thing lead to another, and Viola soon found herself slipping back into old habits.

This began to take a toll on her mental state, and started to slowly destroy her relationship with her sister. Salvia – concerned over a near-fatal overdose, attempted to put a stop to her addiction – but to no avail.

Viola’s life began to spiral out of control – to the point where she began to think she murdered a friend of hers after hearing about his accidental death. This was her breaking point – and she ran to a nearby woods, nearly drowning herself in a river.

When she comes to, she finds herself at the river’s banks – somehow having managed to swim out. She hallucinates a body ahead – and blood on her hands. In a blind panic, she rushed out of the woods – upon which she was arrested by police officers, courtesy of her own sister, who had found evidence of her vendoring vivari.

She served a sentence for three years, had her license suspended and her weapon taken. She attended rehab for two years, before being released. She was initially resentful of her sister, but eventually overcame it.

She helped establish Ophie’s Flowers – and set up a side business for herbalism. Columbine, a regular during the bar’s initial years, eventually became the bar’s patron.

She is currently in Vale, helping her sister run the bar, and occasionally singing a few songs here and there.

[ivenya]

Details: Ivenya

"'Tomorrow' is a dangerous word.”

General Characteristics

Name: Ivenya

Appearance:

At 6'6", she stands shorter than most females of her species, but still statuesque by human standards.

Thick dark hair usually floats in Talbuk tails behind her curved ram's horns, unless a fanciful whim takes her or she's obligated to attend a formal function.

Broad shoulders and an ample bust taper to a svelte waist and shapely legs. The asymmetrical musculature of her upper torso and arms give her away as a well-practuced archer, to anyone with the military savvy and sharp eyes to notice- if her usual gear doesn't.

There's seldom any frill to her apparel. Heavy cloth reinforced with light mail or soft but thick leather keeps her mobile, but vulnerable, and is usually accompanied by a longknife and utility belt.  She doesn't appear suited to any sort of soldiering beyond recon missions, and nothing about her demeanor suggests she's involved in as much as that.

A1 :  Ooh boy, I have no idea -- I enjoy films but I don’t have enough knowledge to be confident in answering this. 

Q2 :   what  would  their  soundtrack / score  sound  like ? A2 :  Something that evokes feelings of mischievousness, happiness without a care in the world, then transitions to more serious and uncertain. Finally, something suited to action. Personally, I listen to to the klk soundtrack when I want to write action for her.

Q3 :   why  did  you  start  writing  this  character ? A3 :  looks at @brightlikewukong. Because I told them about my ideas and they didn’t stop me. I also have a habit of getting deep into developing characters and plots for them and Yue has me wrapped around her little fingers.

Q4 :   what  first  attracted  you  to  this  character ? A4 :  Mm. Maybe the fact that she’s so young and I haven’t written someone like her before. Not to mention, Rai’s Sun is a gift and I feel that both Sun and Yue have grown in their interactions with each other. 

Q5 :   describe  the  biggest  thing  you  dislike  about  your  muse. A5 :   c: I work with kids and ooh boy do they sometimes know just how to grate on my nerves c: On the one hand, I understand they’re children but on the other, sometimes you just know when they’re being little shits on purpose. 

Q6 :   what  do  you  have  in  common  with  your  muse ? A6 :   Um. We will fite for the people we care about. 

Q7 :  how  does  your  muse  feel  about  you ? A7 :  Simultaneously unimpressed and impatient.

Q8 :   what  characters  does  your  muse  have  interesting  interactions  with ? A8 : In terms of actual interactions, with her brother ( brightlikewukong ) and their parents. She’s also managed to insult Neptune and Scarlet, much to her amusement. In terms of future interactions or ones that haven’t occurred on here, I’d love to see her interact with any muses from Vacuo ( they seem to be in short supply here ). There are a few NPCs that she’ll interact well with, namely her friend Zarrin Ahmar ( currently a student at Shade ).

Q9 :   what  gives  you  inspiration  to  write  your  muse ? A9 :   Anything that Rai talks about or posts in relation to Sun. The klk soundtrack as well. And sometimes, the things I see at work.

Q10 :   how  long  did  this  take  you  to  complete ? A10 :  Several days, since I did it in chunks.

I do want to finish the remaining 75% of song of the huntress because despite my complaints I DO enjoy the setting and worldbuilding but people are waiting and it just makes me so angry so I'll revisit it another time. probably. and annihilation was so fucking cool I read the first sample and really liked the style and I liked the movie a lot even tho I know the movie is very different

I do find it annoying when all fictional monarchs do is whine about their personal problems when they have countries to lead and are the literal most powerful people in their realms (I mean, why write a story about royals for adults if you're not going to tackle the political lives of those characters?) but in fairness it's not like Aethel seems to have many opportunities to actually contribute to the governance of the kingdom despite apparently wanting to?

but also like she just doesn't seem to care? she seems SO so self-involved and concerned about herself which is understandable to an extent but she's pushing 40 and at this stage of her life and after YEARS of being queen she's really so politically passive that she has NO allies or friends at court? was she not trained? I mean, no wonder she has no friends if she condescends to other women because she thinks their conversation topics are below her but also she's the fucking queen, won't people want her favor?

it seems like she's being deliberately obtuse and difficult, and usually I love socially inept and angry woman, and I KNOW she's treated unfairly at court, the men are sexist to her and the women probably think she's a freak (I guess? we literally have not been told) but it's so frustrating to try to root for her when she's 1. worried about all this but has been in this position for YEARS and never swallowed her pride to engage in a single 'boring' conversation to preserve her own place at court. like sorry politics are boring but you're the fucking queen, you have a responsibility and perhaps more importantly court is dangerous and you need ALLIES and 2. not thinking all that much about her people beyond the vague wondering about the mysteries of the woman of the hunt? like I do not know what her goals or feelings towards her people are at ALL. she's a Warrior! she Fights! that's her thing! she kills good! and leads her men ig. but beyond this protectiveness towards the prince of the other kingdom (which Ine SAID was out of character) her only attitude towards it is...idk, she likes how honorable the other king is and disliked her brother-in-law's cowardly murder of him? does she have any POLICY thoughts? it's just weird man. is she a political figure or not? does she want to be or not?

anyway I was complaining about her not having principles earlier but apparently herla and boudica MURDERED CHILDREN in their campaign against rome so. well at least she admits it and recognizes it was a terrible thing

[llycaons]

my free audiobook is renewing tomorrow and I'm definitely going to try reading something else. there's promise in this but so much about it just makes me so annoyed

[llycaons]

ine (and, presumably, the authors') preference for a nonviolent solution is so...disingenuous? useless? hypocritical? yeah we want to conquer you and destroy your people and your traditions and your religion but we respect your king we promise! we want to do it peacefully! and that makes us the good guys 😇

[llycaons]

as we get deeper into the book and more scenes from Æthel's pov I do find a sense of honor and conpassion that I didn't see in earlier chapters. it's really rare that I warm up to a character after disliking them so strongly in the beginning so I'm relieved that she's not as bad as I initially thought. and it's not even that her anger is unjustified, it's just bizarre that these seasoned monarchs (including ine!) are acting in such juvenile and chaotic ways. like how are you successfully ruling a kingdom in which every prince has a right to the throne and you're acting Like That? you don't even have a fucking heir

[llycaons]

also aethel calling the hall shabby and treating a servant like that...okay you stuck-up asshole we know you're rich

[llycaons]

ALSO when she sees the 15 yr old prince (their PRISONER of war who is LOCKED in a STOREROOM after they KILLED his FATHER in an AMBUSH because ig they have no dungeons?) crying over his dad and being struck like 'oh I lost my mother too...at the tender age of...twenty....like I'm sorry miss queen but you were a full adult at that point. I'm sure it was very painful but this is like AD 600, people were dropping like flies and leaving toddler orphans like it was a miracle your mom got to see you grow up you do NOT get to use that for dead parents tragedy

[llycaons]

and in fairness maybe we aren't supposed to think of aethel as a particularly socially adept person or someone who truly empowers the women around her. I just know that she's a main character and a romantic lead and I find her insufferable

[llycaons]

I think part of my annoyance with this book is the narrator. she injects a lot of defensiveness and hostility and contempt into lines that are otherwise pretty neutral. so it makes me irritated and anxious to listen
