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
#yes this about kotlc#keeper of the lost cities#kotlc#I loved a lot of characters I though we were supposed to dislike but then I came on tumblr and realized a lot of people feel the same???#fitz vacker#stina heks#kotlc fitz#stina kotlc#no fandom#but there was indeed a fandom#a small one but whatever#I also hadn’t discovered fanfiction yet#my innocent eyes are now obliterated and sometimes I wish I could go back but what’s done is done#kotlc opinions#kotlc fandom#kotlc tumblr#this is also about all of those books I read as a kid#city of ember#I loved that one#it’s still unpopular though

rereading stellarlune and quickly realizing that the reason that i forgot all the plot points isn’t because of my memory it’s because this book is genuinely incomprehensible.
#like oh my gosh … i actually can’t do this#canon sokeefe but at what cost …#like fr what was up with fitz and linh what was WRONG with my bbgs#and stina … why was all of her development in legacy totally undone#idk it was just sooo non-cohesive and confusing#i genuinely did think i had just forgotten everything but literally i was struggling to make sense of the book while i was reading it …#kotlc ily but this book … idk it just didn’t have the same magic as the previous ones lol#deadlines seem to be absolutely insane though for the most recent books so mostly i feel bad for shannon that poor woman#kotlc#anti stellarlune#mine

It’s canon that Stina is into warfare to some degree and battle planning right?
#kotlc#kotlc stina#stina heks#i remember headcanoning it before i read stellarlune but i feel like something in stellarlune confirmed it

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?
#even the ones at the celestial festival who saw dex would probably not recognize him irl#Stina might be the only curly haired white girl in the cities but I'm sure she's not THAT recognizable#let alone wylie#summer rambles#summer reads kotlc

as an optimist, i’m actually excited for 9.5
i’d love to see some keefe character development
#kotlc#keefe sencen#sophie is still the best character shannon#shannon give dex more screen time. and tam. and marella. and stina.#but it’s all ok because i like keefe. even back then when i didn’t would still read it#reading it for the plot but also for keefe and maybe sokeefe if there is any?

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!
#k chats#anon anon#percabeth fic#fic recs#seek speaks#stina stuff#k writes#there was a mob au i read once that was amazing i’ll go look for it!#and also cheating trope (not a fan of the trope itself UNLESS written insanely well. which it was. i will also go look)

for some reason i love the idea of stina absolutely hating keefe. like she just can’t stand the guy.
#her being an empath is very different from keefe#she doesn’t choose to broadcast any emotions#since i think that there should be some moral rules for empathy in canon like for telepaths#there should be some rules about consenting to emotions being read and privacy of emotions#cause they are a private thing! no one is entitled to know exactly how you feel!#kotlc#stina heks#keefe sencen

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.
#Vika comes off as a karen sure#And i get why dex did it#But they have every right to be pissed!!!#Man if someone took my hair id try to tackle them too#Also stina should not have been held back in that scene#I like dex but I like the idea of stina punching someone more#Been a while since i read the scene but.#They were justified#Kotlc

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.
#kotlc#kotlc stellarlune#he’s said a few other things throughout reading I haven’t shared#said he was glad for Sophie and Keefe when they kissed#that he missed Tarina (me too)#and didn’t like Stina because she’s being mean again#they were kinda alright for a bit but not anymore#there were probably a few other quips#but my family does not know the extent to which I am fixated on keeper so I’m trying to be civil#hence short quick convos in passing#but if anyone was ever curious what my father thought about keeper. here u go#idk why you’d be curious about that but you do you#if anyone has any questions for him I think it’s be funny to convey them

Spring's a girl from the streets at night...
#em draws stuff#the wolf and the watchman#anna stina knapp#johanna ulv#autodesk texture essentials pencil pal... the best textured brush in the world...#various statements to make about this drawing while we are here.#one. perfectly aware that johanna actually spins on a wheel but Consider that a drop spindle is easier and more pleasant to draw#and also I Can Actually Spin on a drop spindle and thus am Thinking Of Spinning so much of the time these days#two. since the playlist got more attention than I anticipated I probably should say a bit more about this book#if you must read it then I do advise to go with caution. and to read some reviews by more qualified people than me beforehand.#that's that on That for now. altho' perhaps I may elaborate depending on which other characters I draw in the future.#three. augh out of all the guys here and all the terrible things that happen to them I think I am the Most sad about anna stina and johanna#I am Choosing To Believe in their being just fine and together even though that is not really the case at all at all.#and four. caption lyrics are from the pogues' 'dirty old town' since it seemed too apt not to do so.
