#stina reads

[stinastar]

I started reading Wolfsong by TJ Klune and I’m feeling so normal about it (lying)

[valewritessss]

The best part of reading books when I was younger was not knowing there was a fandom for it and getting to form my completely own opinions and having no one but myself to fuel my imagination

It’s canon that Stina is into warfare to some degree and battle planning right?

I feel like it would have been more realistic for these randos on the street to say "Is that Sophie what's her name? and that one Vacker girl? and those two other guys? and some girl?" like youre telling me dex wylie and stina are famous enough to be recognized on sight?

as an optimist, i’m actually excited for 9.5

i’d love to see some keefe character development

STINA GIVES ME MIXED FEELINGS

ON THE ONE HAND SHE COULD BE REDEEMED AND STUFF

ON THE OTHER HAND SHE ISN'T A BLONDE

Do uou have any perch and Annabeth fic recs?? :)

Anon, you’ve come to just the right place 🥰

All my recs are show!percabeth only atm!

For starters, I wrote one! Check it out and let me know what you think. 🫶🏽

lightning in a bottle by @seek--rest is absolutely incredible and so heart wrenching!

I also really loved you decide (if darkness knows you well) by @rickybowsn ! It’s beautifully written and captures so much of the best of Percy and Annabeth.

That’s it! I really gotta do more reading 😵‍💫 and I’ll update this with more fics once I have them!

for some reason i love the idea of stina absolutely hating keefe. like she just can’t stand the guy.

FINALLY, ive finished 25% of exile, the second book in the kotlc series. here are some thoughts i had :)

tags: @aylin-hijabi, @that-multi-fandom-hijabi, @tastetherainbow290, @nerdy-girl3791 (im tagging everyone who asked to be tagged in my notes for book one, but lmk if you wanna be tagged too / dont wanna be tagged anymore)

first off, why are second books in a series always the ones that take the most time / are harder to start? ig it could be that we've already established the worldbuilding n main characters, but its still that dragging stage between *where you already know mostly everything in the universe* and *where the climax builds up in anticipation of the "final battle" or the beginning of the third act, usually*. nothing to do w the book itself, just an observation

second off, alicorns are so much more important than being just "another species to save", im sure of it. theres wayyy too much of the council getting involved n talk abt how alicorns are sooo important. to anyone whos read percy jackson it kinda reminds me of the ophiortaurus (bessie) from sea of monsters, who seemed to be a recurring animal side character who turned out to have a lot of significance to the very universe they were in. im expecting smth similar, why else would everyone go to such lengths to ensure alicorns dont go extinct? or maybe im overthinking it lmao but what gives it away is the heckses literally tryna kidnap silveny-

speaking of the heckses, who the fuck tries to steal an alicorn. stinas parents are the whiniest bitches ive ever seen, and im a fifteen year old girl. like cmon ive seen some drama queens over the years, but those two- also, fucking stina. i mentioned before that i hope to see some character development w her, so shes not just the boring one-dimensional mean girl thats prevalent in literally every piece of media thats come out since mean girls w regina george. clearly not yet, tho, but im waiting on it (if it does not happen i will be majorly disappointed)

also, delving into theories now. its kinda far-fetched, but, was brant w the black swan ? i mean, it would add up pretty decently. it would explain why his guilt for jolies death runs so deeply (since grady rlly rlly seems to believe that the black swan killed her) because he would be with the literal organization that killed her. it would also explain reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy well why he recognized sophie. the fact that he knew her was wayy too emphasized to mean nothing. idk JUST A THEORY, its not based off of anything other than it would fit nicely w everything else.

but also if grady is so adamant that it was the black swan, and (hypothetically) brant is w the black swan, then would it be improbable to assume that he killed her? which would explain the guilt even MORE. but then again, he does seem to love her, so that last part is added very tentatively. (maybe he killed her by accident... but then would the note to grady three days before her death just be a coincidence? im sure that has some deeper meaning.)

maybe it wasnt the black swan who sent those notes to grady...

to end on a funnier note: alicorn poop. sophie faceplanted into alicorn poop. it happens to all main characters, it always has to be someone walking in at the worst moment. i thought id be the vackers w keefe who show up n embarass her, but who better than the council to get humiliated in front of ? i dont hate sophie i just laugh at her pain

i think thats all for the 25% mark, im gonna keep reading today. im gonna go to my grandmas house so maybe i can get a couple hundred pages in !!!

[camelspit]

hot take but I don't really think the hekses were in the wrong in the first book slurps and burps scene? like. dex had poisoned stina or something so she lost all her hair. and then the kid and his dad are confronted with this and start laughing. like man I would be mad too. especially if theres some random blonde girl also laughing.

[thelasttaleofthepari]

Someone save Stina omg if I was her I could never

[stinastar]

What a beautiful fucking line

[wrestlezaynia]

Wait, I've read a fic like this once...it was my fic! 😮

[bookwyrminspiration]

dad finished reading Stellarlune! he said “this book was *checks random page* all talking.” and “if this was what she was building to—which she said in the acknowledgements—why didn’t we do this like. four books ago.” and “this was an information dump, telling us everything to get us caught up. and where’s Ro?? she’s the next problem.” just thought I’d let you know.
