Adult gothic horror novel set in Mexico shortly after the the Mexican War of Independence
Follows Beatriz, the mixed-race (indigenous Mexican/white Spanish) daughter of a general executed for treason at the end of the war, who desperately marries a rich hacienda (plantation) owner in search of financial security
When Beatriz travel’s to her husband’s ancestral home, Hacienda San Isidro, she finds that instead of being a refuge, it’s haunted by a malevolent presence that the unwelcoming household refuses to explain
Desperate for help, Beatriz calls on the local young priest, Padre Andrés, for help and the two of them find themselves battling a forbidden attraction alongside their fight against the dark forces inhabiting San Isidro
#i hate to say it but this was Not Good#it just felt like a lesser rehash of superior gothic novels like mexican gothic or rebecca#which is a bummer because i was SO excited at the premise of a gothic story set in historical mexico :(#anyway biggest sins:#andrés was clearly the author's fave and beatriz hardly got an development in compairson#LAUGHABLY stupid villain#beatriz is supposedly to be strong and worldly but it also helpless and naive??#and i thought the root of the problem in san isidro didn't make sense#and honestly kind of undermined the exploration of colonial violence?#SPOILERS#like why did one white spanish lady getting murdered make the house haunted#and not the generations of indigenous mexicans who have been killed/abused/raped on the plantation?!#how is the house nice and unhaunted and happy by the end??#that just like really confused me#i'm so sad this wasn't good i was really excited :(#that being said i will probably give the author's next book a shot#because it's vaqueros vs vampires and that is an incredible premise#lulu speaks#lulu reads#2023 reads#books#lulu reads the hacienda#the hacienda#gothic girl january

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!
Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎
#my art#marinette dupain cheng#miraculous ladybug#miraculous fanart#style mimic#sorry for the @s btw#yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also#this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made#i think they all got together and drew with one another#which is really cool#but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot#and ive seen others do it too so i was just like#wow they really know each others styles really well#until i thought about it and read their posts some more#style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice#and a good way to explore other ways of doing things#like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone#also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit#so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it#anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont#but ye#i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like#ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while#sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style#so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic#Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy#being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another#buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects#so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref#as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !
Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)
I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!
someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)
uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 4 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 4 spoilers#mel is so cute but mal fits with the rest of the draconias better#eng version no you were supposed to save me not make things MORE confusing#anyway raverne huh#that uh. that sure feels like it's supposed to evoke raven doesn't it.#what does it mean WHAT DOES IT MEAN#hold on i'm going to flail around embarrassingly about anime character theories now#(okay first a disclaimer: i do think we need to sit down as a fandom at some point)#(and have a discussion about exactly what is actual canon versus meta speculation versus jokes)#(because i think there has been. some confusion. over that re:crowley and raverne specifically)#(but i do feel justified in being like THEY ARE PROBABLY CONNECTED SOMEHOW RIGHT?! right now)#like i really don't think it's as simple as crowley being raverne but with memory loss or something#(and if they pull that on us i'm going to need an EXTREMELY good explanation to go with it to justify that)#they've gone out of their way several times now to make a point about them acting and sounding different and it feels very intentional to m#(and once again: i super 100% absolutely do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him with the top half of his face covered)#i just think the contradictions are a lot stronger than the connections right now but there ARE some connections and i'm 👀ing at them#to be fair the connections are mostly meta like crowley being diablo/raverne being evocative of raven#also the general 'raverne mysteriously disappeared and apparently had distinctive eyes' thing#versus 'crowley's past is unknown and he never shows his eyes'#(i will argue that crowley DOES seem to have some kind of canon connection to briar valley)#(since he is clearly some sort of fae and the masks are a briar valley thing)#and that is kinda it right now isn't it#okay hold on i had to delete some tags because i used too many (thanks tumblr for letting me know and not just vanishing them OH WAIT)#so tl;dr: i'm in the 'crowley is connected to raverne somehow but it's more complicated than just him being in disguise' camp personally#but that will probably change as we get more info and also don't take this as an anti-speculation thing because i love theories HOORAY

I… don’t really see myself continuing with the Amazing Digital Circus anymore.
#txt#it’s not a bad show#the recent episode was also pretty alright#but I don’t know. it’s just not clicking for me ya know? even though I really want to#I love the designs and the premise. I love that it has girls that are weird in not that condescending modern writing kind of way#the last episode just confused me. it felt purposefully aimless and then the last 3 minutes suddenly it was about Gangle wanting to be like#but… has anyone explictely shown any dislike for her other than Jax? everyone seems very friendly with her#I feel like it would have made more sense if Gangle felt mistreated or neglected#because a lot of terrible shit does happen to her (specifically from Jax) and nobody intervenes#whatever. I’m happy that other people are enjoying the episode though. I’m just not feeling this show anymore

despite how you feel about the changes from the stream to the show, if you like or dislike them, i love how inherently hilarious the narrative path tlovm is taking regarding perc’ahlia is because a situationship would literally kill campaign percy and vex like how the internet would kill a small victorian child. they are NOT built for that
#their entire relationship is so deeply implied like they fall in LOVE with each other#they don’t just love each other they become friends; teammates; family; and over the course of 3+ years they fall so completely in love#it is the slowest burn to ever slow burn and it is so glorious#and most critically they really feel they would not be good for each other at first so they keep their distance from a relationship#and only once falling so entirely for the other do they start to admit the depths of that feeling#they would never. and i mean NEVER break the tension and jump to sex halfway through#those motherfuckers are so stubborn i SWEAR tal was about to kill percy himself without ever admitting he loved vex#laura bailey had to forcibly pull him back from the edge like literally what the fuuuck#and vex was never planning to confess either!! neither of them were!! that’s insane!!!#anyways. imagining them watching this alt universe of them fooling around before glintshore is soooo funny to me. they’d be so confused#critical role#cr1#tlovm#the legend of vox machina#tlovm spoilers#tlovm season 3#vox machina#percy de rolo#vex’ahlia#cr spoilers#lovm#legend of vox machina#perc'ahlia#percy x vex

i really like the headcanon that aventurine texts like a boomer because he doesn't spend time with teenagers and mostly uses tech for work purposes and dr ratio has picked up some slang from his students
that being said i can't stop laughing at the idea aventurine discovering stickers on microsoft teams and whatsapp good morning gifs and texting like this as a result
vs ratio 😭
#blogging.core#no id#honkai star rail#aventurine#dr ratio#raturine#aventurine using the mircosoft team stickers is so funny. we got sued shark is my fav thing ever#ratio would say like -10000 aura and aventurine would just type What? (he has not figured out how to turn off auto caps)#tw swearing#its like how old people type with grammar as a formality vs younger gens seeing it as passive-aggressive#cus texting evolved to be really fast and people see you putting in more effort as you saying something LOL#aventurine texting in full grammar and ratio texting 'r u mad at me' while aventurine is confused because he thought he was being polite#and thought ratio didn't like him because why else would he text without any grammar LOL

day 1421
#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long#amphibian#frog#poison dart frog#based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like#here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference#im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice#its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other#while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos#ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer#i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re#and the white is darker and more green?#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay#at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever#or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol#Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist#the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

#meme#jumblr#lashon hara#לשון הרע#from my understanding L'H technically doesn't apply when speaking about ones self#HOWEVER framing it in this way reminds me how awful doing it is. so while yes it's not the same as speaking about someone else#it's still Not A Good Thing To Do#i have such a horrible habit of speaking/thinking nothing BUT bad things about myself#to the point that it absolutely would be L'H if it were about someone else#so i think framing it like this is just a reminder of what the speaking/thinking about myself really is#i'm not trying to justify making this meme by the way - i just want to clarify any confusion in case it isn't translated well through this

honestly, i think one of the reasons i can tolerate julian’s early seasons' behaviour towards jadzia is the way he approaches miles in an almost identical way, being annoyingly persistent, desperate for any chance to spend time alone with them, incredibly uncomfortable moments of trying to get miles to use his first name, etc. etc.
and whether I read that as julian having a similar puppy crush on miles as he does on jadzia or interpret it as a platonic desperation to make friends, either way, it at least tells me that for all julians faults (and boy are there plenty to go around—) he at least… isn’t Like That towards jadzia because she’s a woman, y’know? he’s just Like That with everyone because he’s overenthusiastic and lacking in social graces.
like, his behaviour towards jadzia is super uncomfortable and all, but the fact that he then turns around and acts the exact same way to his middle aged male coworker just… it adds something in context that shifts it from “wow julian is really creepy with women” to “wow julian is an idiot with people” for me.
i mean he is still pretty creepy with women a lot of the time and has obvious issues with toxic masculinity but at least his horrendous ‘wear them down until they say yes’ approach is apparently just the only way he seems to have of getting to know people and making friends.
#star trek#star trek ds9#julian bashir#stella talks#.also something about how sisko is like ‘well i knew dax when he was an old man’.#.and julian is just like ‘… yes? does that not make her more attractive to you? why not???’#.like other characters consistently are like ‘geez knowing dax when she was a he must be so uncomfortable for you sisko’.#.and then julian is just absolutely confused as to why that would possibly be an issue for anyone ever.#.<- we should talk about how people react to dax and gender whenever someone tries to pull the bigotry free utopia line.#.because clearly transmisogyny is alive and well in the federation even if it’s much more understated now.#.anyway i was playing an old farming/romance game on the 3ds and there’s this one guy in it.#.and i hated him when i played as a girl because he’s always talking about how pretty you are and calling you darling.#.even if you’ve like… just met him. and i was just immediately like ugh nope stay away from me.#.and then i played as a guy. and he… does the… exact same thing…#.and suddenly i… didn’t hate him anymore because oh. that’s just how he talks to people. oh my god.#.i mean that character is also definitely bisexual as well but.#.like i thought he was a misogynistic flirt but. nope. he covers for akwardness in social situations by talking that way.#.and once i had the context of it being a completely gender neutral behaviour with no ulterior motives attached. well.#.it made me recontextualise everything about the character and i realised i actually really liked him.#.and yeah realising that julian just doesn’t know how to make friends except via brute force does make me view him differently.

there wasn't a slice of life moment with these idiots so i took matters into my own hands... this is my modern au (kimetsu gakuen adjacent?) hence their designs.

#null rot#hantengu#hantengu clones#sekido#karaku#urogi#aizetsu#zohakuten#kny#kimetsu no yaiba#demon slayer#kimetsu gakuen#kimetsu academy#!!!! ADJACENT AUS !!!!!#tried to prevent burn out and made this! honestly... it was just supposed to be lines but then i liked colors............#its nothing too perfect but it was fun!#also yes their designs are catered to my tastes specifically#i really like them as demons....... but i also reALLY LIKE MODERN AUS.............. LIKE BROOOO BROOOOOOO WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY GHOSTS?????#FUCK OFF BRO#YOU CANNOT ADD EVERYONE EXCEPT THEM. LIKE WHAT????#i think i teased the modern au in that one mitsuri post but idk if any of you caught on#ALSO YEAH THEY ALL HAVE EARRINGS EXCEPT FOR ZO. THE OTHERS WON'T LET HIM GET ANY YET#aizetsu has his covered... orz#zohakuten and aizetsu answering diligently. urogi being way too excited. karaku who doesnt answer and instead makes everything confusing#and sekido who insults then corrects everyone whether or not he's right or wrong#do you not see how they'd be so good in a modern au... please......... PLEAAAAASEE GIVE ME MY GANGSTER FAMILY#FUCKKKKKKKKKK

Billy Batson is SO aroace coded to me and it's fun how I missed it for so long
Billy's stories is always about his family and his powers, in differents universes and everything. That's sweet and really cool, probably one of the reasons I like him so much, but I realised that my real thing with Billy is the fact he don't have romantic partners.
I mean yeah, you can mention Courtney or Cissie if you want, but I can't see Billy really in love with them or dating anyone. It's not a ship war thing, it's a aro thing who actually fits with him so much. I can't see him dating, in any age, and that's make me so comfortable
And it's fun If you imagine someone in the league wanting a romantic advice from Capitan, since he's a "adult man" who lived so much, and Billy is just in panic bc he don't understand nothing about it and run away. I really like to see him as a Damian's friend, so imagine him seeing all of his friends having dates and be like "that's gross" but happy for them all the same time, and never thinking about himself having it bc it's so weird
people asking him about any girlfriend and Billy say "and why would I want that?" like at 17 years old
I love you aroace Billy im sorry I lost you for so long
#Billy Batson#It's nice to have a character where I don't have to worry so much about romance situations.#And I really like Cissie and Billy#But it's so obvious to me that they've grown up and understood that they just confused friendship and dating.#it is one of the best aroace representations you could find and it was unintentional#If Billy shows up dating I'll ignore it#Dc comics#dc characters#Shazam#captain marvel dc#Headcanon#aromantic#asexuality
