so i’ve been posting a lot lately about paper girls (2022) and it just occurred to me that not everyone actually knows or has watched the show.

SO LET ME AMEND THAT!

paper girls is a 2022 (unfortunately) limited series on prime video featuring four 12 year-old paper girls from small-town ohio who get caught up in a time-spanning war between two rival factions. during this time-travelling journey, they each encounter versions of their future selves in various ways, learning how their lives have gone as they attempt to reckon with who they currently are, who they’ll grow up to be, and how — maybe — they can change that trajectory.

between moments of intense action and lighthearted comedy, the show really shines with its character moments. this is ultimately a coming of age story about erin tieng, tiffany quilkin, kj brandman, and mackenzie “mac” coyle. these four girls each have their own problems to grapple with, and each of them get some really stellar payoff in the series’ first (and only 😭) season, along with some truly and honestly heartwarming or rib-tickling moments of bonding between the group and various pairings within the group.

think stranger things but with a main cast of girls instead of boys and time travel instead of interdimensional monsters. also better, because the show takes the plights of its young protagonists seriously. the 80’s aren’t glorified, the girls face period-appropriate bigotry (while not in abundance, though, thank god), but their futures aren’t always sunshine and rainbows either. they have troubles and feelings that the narrative focuses on and gives proper space for instead of simply sidelining them for the plot, and there’s about an apparent growth over the season but an experience that makes the girls more nuanced and complex fairly immediately than most kid protagonists. god, i seriously can’t get over how good this show is !!

anyways, everyone needs to watch paper girls. amazon unfortunately didn’t renew it, and while legendary is still shopping it around, there’s unfortunately little hope for a continuation (even if it would really only need one season to wrap the story up, if that’s what it needs). that all said, it’s well well worth the investment and an excellent alternative to some other tired series, especially with the strength of its main cast.

I IMPLORE YALL WATCH PAPER GIRLS 😭😭😭

edit: yes there is a gay character who has one of the best on-screen arcs of coming to terms with her own sexuality and an especially beautiful and touching scene of affirmation from a future person. i won’t spoil who it is or what the scene entails but it’s seriously just. so touching and so affirming and beautiful

Reading update!

So as you'll see below I've read a lot of books since the last time I did one of these. I'm not going to write a little blurb for all of them, only the ones I feel strongly about. But I'm going to start including my ratings.

Arctic Sun by Annabeth Albert. 4.25/5 stars

Where We Left Off by Roan Parrish. 5/5 stars

Peter Cabot Gets Lost by Cat Sebastian. 5/5 stars

This book was just. So lovely. Short and fast-paced, but I loved Peter and Caleb so much. I love the time period too. I know this is me being toxic and problematic and showing my internalized homophobia or whatever but I actually really like books set in places and time periods where homophobia is a real and present danger. I think it's because I'm totally a Love Conquers All romantic, so the fact that people dgaf and make a go of being together anyway scratches that itch.

Anyway, good book. I picked up the other two in the series but haven't read them yet.

Let's Get Back to the Party by Zak Salih. 4/5 stars

Literature. Good but pretty sad.

No Gods For Drowning by Hailey Piper. 3/5 stars

The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas. DNF

I got 50 pages in before I gave into my hate and DNFed this.

The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley. 5/5 stars

I find it genuinely upsetting that Natasha Pulley isn't a household name, because she writes the most beautiful, gutting books that I have maybe ever read. I don't understand how she's able to write what is, on the surface, a completely mundane sentence, and yet there's this roiling sea of heartbreak underneath it.

This is the sequel to The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, easily one of the best books I've ever read, and this one is at least as good.

Natural Enemies by Roan Parrish. 4/5 stars

Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy. 3.75/5 stars

Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh. 5/5 stars

Lovely little novella that read like a fairy tale.

The Prince's Poisoned Vow by Hailey Turner. 4.25/5 stars

At first I despaired of ever learning who all the characters were in this book because the first like, 10 chapters were all from a different POV, but I got a handle on all of them and liked it a lot.

Spectred Isle by KJ Charles. 4.75/5 stars

Un Lun Dun by China Miéville. DNF

This is the book that made me realize I hate whimsical books.

Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins. 4/5 stars

The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune. 3/5 stars

I ranted about this one already but Jesus, Klune. This straight up reads like the kind of stuff I wrote when I was like, 14, and I don't mean that as a compliment to my 14 year old self.

Love, Hate & Clickbait by Liz Bowery. 5/5 stars

!!!!! This book was so good!!!! I picked it up way back when it came out but it only surfaced in the TBR pile in March, and it did not let me down. Thom and Clay are SO unlikable, but you start to like them in a way that's practically insidious because you don't see it coming. By the end, I was totally rooting for them and loved them both. And this is a romcom with a truly great villain, too, which definitely isn't standard in romances.

Red Skies Falling by Alex London. 5/5 stars

Second book in a series that revolves around a culture where falconry is hugely important. If you want fantasy that doesn't take place in fantasy England, check this series out. It has an A+ sibling relationship, a lovely romance, and high stakes. But this one was saaaaad ugh so sad.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer. 3.75/5 stars

I hated this book until about 80% through, and then it subverted all my expectations and I ended up liking it okay. I thought it was just about a pathetic middle aged gay white man (I know I know, that's my type, what's the problem?) feeling sorry for himself, but it was deeper than that. And it had a nice ending.

Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish. 4/5 stars

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. 5/5 stars (reread)

Bought this edition for the bonus chapter from Henry's POV and for @vkelleyart's end pages. Totally worth it. I love this book just as much as I did the first time.

Threshold by Jordan L Hawk. 4.25/5 stars

So this is a series with like, 11 books? I read the first one and was kind of eh on it. Good enough to buy the second, not enough to buy all 11 or whatever. But the second one was substantially better, so now I've acquired like 5 more of them. I continue to be a sucker for late 19th century/early 20th century settings.

Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen. 4.5/5 stars

Is gay noir a thing? Because that's what I'm calling this book. Gay noir. I loved the main character and I'm really excited this is going to be a series (I've already preordered the second one). The only reason I knocked off half a star is because some of the side characters were irritating. And as a mystery, it wasn't great, so I wouldn't read this one if you're looking for a really good mystery. It's definitely more about the character development and the relationships.

Though possibly one reason I didn't think the mystery was that good is because it got spoiled for me on tumblr by someone who imo had a pretty shallow read on the book. Honestly not sure if they actually read it or they just skimmed it.

Something Wild & Wonderful by Anita Kelly. 5/5 stars

AHHH. THIS BOOK!! This book was so good. So I've been making fun of it for a while because if you look at the cover, it looks like a Stucky AU. And you know what, maybe it was, but at least it didn't read that way, lol. It was really lovely and I'll be using it as a comp for the manuscript I finished last week.

The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley. 5/5 stars

I don't even have anything else to say except that you need to read Natasha Pulley's books. Please. If you're reading this post, go get her books. Buy them, take them out of the library, whatever. Do it.

Work for It by Talia Hibbert. 4.25/5 stars

A Tree of Bones by Gemma Files. 4.5/5 stars

Any Old Diamonds by KJ Charles. 5/5 stars

Something happened in this book that made me close it and stare into the middle distance, then put it aside until I could process.

Anyway you should definitely read it.

Farview by Kim Fielding. 4/5 stars

Whistling in the Dark by Tamara Allen. 4.25/5 stars

Currently reading The Restless Dark by Erica Waters

Which I'm enjoying more than I thought I would!

[girl-next-door-writes]

The stunningly wonderful @kjs-s​ made this gif for me, and I LOVE IT!

Clint Barton's sarcastic comment echoed through the room, and though his intent was humour, it struck a nerve within you. Pietro Maximoff stood nearby, seemingly unaffected, but you just couldn't let it slide.

"Clint, do you ever think before you speak?" you snapped, surprising even yourself with the intensity of your defence.

Pietro, leaning casually against the wall, raised an eyebrow in amusement as he observed the scene, glancing at his sister.

"What?" Clint asked, clearly confused by the outburst.

Your eyes narrowed. "You’re always getting on at him. I mean, I know he can be a cocky shit at times, but he’s just trying to find his place in this team and you being a dick is not fair or helpful.”

Barton looked from you to Pietro, trying to figure out if you were messing with him. “It- it was a joke.” 

“Jokes should be funny, Barton. Making fun of his speed is just... it’s just... pathetic. He's saved our lives countless times, and all you can do is make snide remarks." You shot back, glaring at him. 

Pietro popped a piece of chocolate into him mouth as he continued to watch the exchange, confused but a little bit pleased by your protective outburst.

“You’re going to step in before any actual punches are thrown, right?” Wanda asked her brother softly with a smirk. 

“I don’t know, it’s kinda hot.” He grinned, his eyes running over you appreciatively.

"You should appreciate what he brings to the team instead of making stupid comments," you continued your tirade at Barton, your cheeks flushed with frustration.

Clint, held up his hands in surrender, trying not to smirk. "Alright, alright. I get it. No more Speedy jokes."

"Thanks for having my back there, sweetheart." Pietro said, his accent adding a playful tone, especially when combined with his grin. 

You felt your face heat, suddenly aware of the spotlight on you. "No problem. Now, if you’ll all excuse me, I’m gonna go make sure Stark hasn’t recorded all that for future blackmail purposes."

wait why is the trailer adaption of the paper girls disappointing? I did not read the comics so I would love to know why?

I really love the Paper Girls comic series, so for me an ideal adaptation would be pretty faithful to it. But worse than just it being different, the story that's presented in the trailer for the Amazon Prime adaptation seems less interesting and more generic to me, and I believe the changes fundamentally mess with the themes of the original series.

While it's necessary to talk about the Paper Girls comic series in some amount of specifics in order to explain how certain elements differ, I tried to avoid serious plot spoilers in case you'd like to read it, which I highly recommend!

First off, I was bothered that the trailer shows all the girls introducing themselves, when in the comic Mac, KJ, and Tiffany all knew each other before the first issue and Erin was the new girl in the group. It seems that in the show the girls are going to have vaguely known each other but weren’t friends before it started. A major theme of the comic is growing up and what you lose in the process and one particular part of that is the fear that the girls won’t be friends anymore. I think that having none of the girls be friends before the show starts inherently weakens that aspect of the story, which is disappointing because I found how it was portrayed in the comic very compelling.

Though I think the part of the trailer that raised the most issues for me was the introduction of Larry. In the trailer, the girls say that they need help and the older Erin says “I might know someone.” And now we see this new character that apparently knows about time travel and can explain some things to the girls. In the comics, what the older Erin actually says is  “Who am I even supposed to ask for help with this?” In the comics, there is no comparable character nor plot device to Larry.

To me, the appeal of Paper Girls was that these kids get wrapped up in something much bigger than themselves and at no point does anyone sit them down and explain everything to them. Because you’re following these characters that don’t understand what’s going on as they get blasted to different time periods and are just trying to stay alive and figure out how to get home, they and the audience learn bits about the broader time travel conflict over the whole series. The audience is figuring things out alongside the characters and there are often things that happen that don’t get explained until many issues later, which is always done in a way that makes sense and is very satisfying to the reader. (This makes the series very rewarding to reread.)

I personally do not care about a story in which a bunch of kids get wrapped up in a time travel conflict much bigger than them... which is then explained to them by some adult. What I found interesting was following these young girls that had to figure things out for themselves and were largely only relying on each other.

It was also thematically important that these girls weren’t walked through everything, considering the major themes of generational conflict and what, both good and bad, is left behind for future generations, which these innocent kids are suffering the consequences of first hand. Introducing an adult that is apparently a trustworthy source of information on time travel so early in the story both takes away a lot of what made the original story so compelling and cheapens the exploration of the themes that the original was exploring.

The scene in which the girls meet the older Erin introduces similar problems when you look at how differently they play out in the comic compared to the show’s trailer.

In the comic, it’s a very serious interaction. The girls are understandably upset about some real issues that have serious stakes for them, but as they’ve already gone through some heavy stuff by this point they are keeping their heads on their shoulders. Whereas the older Erin starts crying as she starts to realize that the girl she’s speaking to is really her younger self. After this, the older Erin tries to help them, but she’s a 40 year old woman who is dissatisfied with her job and has a Xanax prescription and finds a group of girls from 1988 appearing in her life in 2016 very stressful. The girls find her unsettling and it’s a major question for them as to whether or not they can trust her.

In the show, the girls and the older Erin meeting is a funny moment where everybody starts freaking out. (It looks like the show is changing the story a bit so that it happens earlier and that it’s the moment when time travel becomes known to the girls, whereas in the comics the girls have already gone through stuff and know about time travel by that point.) What we see of older Erin after this in the trailer is her freaking out in an entertaining way or saying some kind of funny quip. The older Erin in the comics wasn’t a funny character, as I said the girls found her unsettling. The idea of whether or not kids can trust adults is a recurring one throughout the series, and meeting the older Erin is the first time it comes up when the kids aren’t in a hectic situation and have time to grapple with it. I also think this demonstrates a fundamental change in the tone of the series, which I find disappointing as I liked the original and don’t find this new approach appealing.

Also, the show just frankly looks visually very dull to me, which is sad to see in an adaptation of a series with such beautiful, colorful, interesting art from artist Cliff Chiang and colorist Matt Wilson. I understand that it can be hard to get across the same effect when adapting from comics to live-action, but Paper Girls series used to be compared to the Netflix show Stranger Things a lot, except with girls and time travel, and comparing this trailer to the Stranger Things season 1 trailer to me highlights how plain and lacking in unique vibe this show is.

I don’t plan on watching the Amazon Prime Paper Girls adaptation.

Hi KJ!! So glad you joined the game!!

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞:

Appearance

Your cards: Judgement, King of Swords, Ace of Swords, Strenght, The Lovers, The Hierophant

They may look older than they actually are. Or they may be older than you. We have a hairy person here. May have a thick beard. They may have a prominent nose. May look danish (i don't know why I picked that up). They may have lighter hair. May be catholic or just wear a cross necklace. I'm picking up on the dad bod, but they could also just be the big or muscular type. A cute belly button?? Also, they may have a kind-looking face. You will find this person very physically attractive. I picked up on the most random things for your soulmate omg, I'm so sorry. but that's all the cards are giving me :(

Personality

Your cards: King of Wands, The Emperor, Death (rev), Judgement (rev), Queen of Swords

They are a very responsible person. They always keep your best interests in mind. Like, they genuinely want whatever's best for you and will always respect your decisions on everything. They always have a solution for everything. They are that friend that you will always go up to when you have any problem because they most definitely have the solution and will know how to help you. They will be an amazing father/mother. Or they have a daddy/mommy kink :) They may not be a very open-minded person and really keep up with their culture's mentality. They are not a big fan of change. A very logical person, not a big sentimentalist.

Career

Your cards: Page of Swords, Queen of Cups, The Magician

So this job may require very good communication skills. They have to be very charming in this profession and they have to know how to lead people on. Which makes me feel like they may be a salesman or something like that. A negotiator of some sort. In this job, they may be able to resolve disputes rationally and dispassionately. They will have a job that requires them to convince people and illudes them into something. So it's something that requires them to be very charming and rational, really knowing how to lead people on, almost manipulating them.

Communication Style

Your cards: Ace of Swords (rev), The Sun, Page of Wands (rev), Queen of Swords, Queen of Wands

Once again, very charming. Your soulmate has a way of talking that just charms people. They're a sweet-talker. They draw people in when they talk and other people can't help but feel drawn to them. I'm guessing this can also mean that your soulmate is good at manipulating people, BUT, this could also just mean that they know how to get people to like them. They are very diplomatic and direct with their words and have really good manners when they talk. Very soft, enchanting voice. They may be an air sign. Communication is like a game to them, and people really don't catch on to it. They come off as a social butterfly and they seem very confident when they talk. They emanate vitality, success, and warmth when they talk. The way they talk is giving me Jerry Maguire vibes. Actually, you should see that movie, because your soulmate is really giving me those vibes.

Love Language

Your cards: King of Wands, The Devil

Definitely physical touch. They love to touch you. They love to kiss you. They love to hold hands. They love to make love to you. They love all of that. So, be ready for a lot of smothering affection.

I hope you liked your reading!! <3

[justmeventingiguess]

Dear H,

I wish I hated you. I wish I didn’t care what you thought of me. I wish we never met. I wish you weren’t one of my best friends. I wish I didn’t love you.

But I do, don’t I? I’ve been in love with you since I got to know you. I’ve fallen head over heels, and I wish I didn’t. It’s been a year and a half now, since I’ve realized, but no matter what, I can’t move on.

Oh believe me, I’ve tried. First Z, then JR, and hell, I almost kissed B to feel something. But it all comes back to you. It comes back to you and the stupid playlists and the songs of the day and the place we met. I haven’t had someone who knows me like you since my ex. But there’s one problem:

You don’t love me. You never have, you never will. Not like that. I’ve tried all my tricks. I waited for you to realize J wasn’t the one. Yall had a good run, and you still are both my friends. I can only hope that you don’t blame me for your relationship going up in flames. I know I helped you two get together, and I know it was bad how things ended. I’m sorry, even though the breakup wasn’t my fault.

Then, I confessed. God H, I told you. On February 1st 2023 I told you I liked you. That I had a crush on you since October 2022. And we both ignored it. It wasn’t brought up again except when I cracked jokes about how I only fall for people who will never like me back because they’re in love with someone else. I don’t know if you ever laughed about it. I had to. If not, I’d cry.

We did get closer, even though we were no longer in the same state. And I saw the videos you were reposting on TikTok. Videos about a crush on girl you liked, from a different state, who looked just like me. I foolishly thought that this was it. I gave my heart away to the second person ever and she was finally, finally going to take it and place it next to her’s.

Then you told me you wanted M. It nearly broke me. But I didn’t let it. Because I knew M had a boyfriend. You knew that too. Because us three and J were all friends. You knew M had a boyfriend, and M knew there was something between yall. It never did get fully resolved, but as far as I knew, you moved on.

We only got closer after that. Every time I see your name, my heart flutters and I smile. I can’t go a day without talking about you to someone. You sneak your way into every thought I have ever had. I am truly in love with you.

And I thought that this was it. The past couple of days I’ve been dropping hints, and you’ve returned some. I even asked you to drinks (on a not date) next time I see you.

And then, K.

You just told me. What the fuck? I should be angry. I should want to scream at you to not fucking date her. Date me instead. She fucking hurt you, J, and me when we worked together. I should be pissed at you. Pissed at her for asking you out.

But do you know what I feel instead? Hurt. Not by you. But because I thought I had a chance. I thought that by poor unruly heart was finally going to be protected again. But instead, it isn’t. You just asked if you should date K.

No. You shouldn’t. You should date me. But you don’t want to date me. So instead, I don’t say that.

I tell you to follow your gut. I tell you to go out with her and test the waters if that’s what you want and think is right. You tell me that I’m smart and you want me to figure it out. But H, you don’t understand, I did. I figured it out.

I had to break my own heart tonight. I gave it to you a long time ago without you knowing, but I had to take it back. Then, I had to crush it in my hand and be okay with my heart not being alright. I don’t know when I will love again. I know I won’t get over you that easily. You’re still my best friend. I don’t want to lose that.

I told you that I can’t make the decision, but to remember that if you don’t date K now, you could possibly date her in the future. Maybe she’ll wait for you. But I can’t anymore. If I don’t move on, I don’t know if my heart can take it.

I love you, Hannah.

I’m sorry.

coleulrich: I gotta say, outpatient treatment hasn’t been easy for me. It was hard for me to even admit I had a problem because I didn’t say it. My new doctor took me off all my old medications and started me on one single new one that I swear has already been a miracle worker. I started an outpatient detox and therapy treatment with meetings every week. I couldn’t have done it without the important people in my life. 

My beautiful wife to be, Sienna, you’ve been my strength through these last few weeks and without you I would be lost in the darkness, you’ve always guided me through with your light and your love. I love you so much and I can’t thank you enough for not giving up on this mess of a man, but I’m getting better for you, for the kids and our future. I love you forever.

My incredible parents, you let me hang around you for a few weeks while starting my treatment and taking care of me when the withdrawls became almost too much for me to handle, you stayed right by my side. Dad, you’ve always been my hero, I’ve always looked up to you, that’s no secret. Thank you for never stopping loving me or believing in me, for taking care of me growing up and for always putting your children first. Superman ain’t got nothing on you. Mama dearest, you came into my life later but when you came in, you changed my life for the best, you gave me that motherly love a boy just needs sometimes and you’ve always taken me in as your own, hugged me through the night, called me when I needed you and just held me tight. I love you both so much.

My twin brother, the incredible Dylan Thomas, I was truly lucky to get a twin brother because I got a built in best friend. Thank you for calling me when I need you, for all the late night talks in the park, for all the times you caught me when I thought I was falling to rock bottom, you brought me light and strength when I thought mine faded. I love you and I don’t say that nearly enough.

KJ, the greatest of all time, my brother from another mother. You are amazing, I got the roommate jackpot when they paired us together from the get go. Thank you for always being there, for the hugs, for the words of encouragement and for always having my back when I felt like I was isolated and alone. I appreciate you and love you, brother. always.

There are so many others to thank and for all my family and friends, I love you guys and you truly don’t know how much you mean to me. I couldn’t do this without you.

Hello there! How are you doing?

Can i get a reading & mood board on relationship dynamics between me & my destined person?

My initials: KJ♌

Thank you

Thank you so much for your patience! 🪷 🤍 I highly appreciate your participation in my game.

— 7 of Cups (R) | 6 of Pentacles | 5 of Pentacles

I don't do moodboards, KJ. But I can offer you this piece of insight in your future relationship.

You and your destined person are meant to go through ups and downs. There will be good times, and there will be the bad times, and these are inevitable. But the advice here is to always be transparent with one another. You and your destined partner cannot overcome challenges if both of you don't open up with each other, and if the two of you are greedy against one another. Be reminded that they are your partner through thick and thin, and that you should work with them, not against them.

Have no fear, though. Whoever your future partner is, I can see that they will be exercising generosity in your relationship, and they will be very determined to work it out with you no matter what. You just have to have the same patience and resilience against the relationship problems, and to remind yourself that you are supposed to team up with them to overcome the obstacles. This is a relationship for the times, not for the lighthearted. Best of luck!

I hope you liked this reading! Don't forget to like or reblog this reading so I would know you saw it already. ⭐️ Feedback would be highly appreciated!

What are your hcs for Killjoy? Also, I read the theory thread about Cypher, and I was wondering what your thoughts are on all the voice lines about Skye having the potential to be a dangerous radiant in the future? (I can only remember one voice line from Omen, claiming that Skye was "holding back" but I know their were others)

(A/N: I'll probably make a separate Kj hcs post soon, so I won't be listing them here. There are some headcanons in the Brimstone&Killjoy relationship post and every ship ask she's in. No problem if that's not your thing though since I want to make a whole post on her anyway.)

Skye, Skye, Skye. I love her budding role in the lore (Not as much as a playable character though lol). There's so much potential! Omen and Reyna both address her like:

"Skye. This is just the beginning of your power." (Reyna)

"Skye, the life weaver. The power to create, to destroy. Which path will you embrace, I wonder?" (Omen)

"Oh, there is a terrible beast inside you, Skye. Unleash it." (Omen)

"Well done, Skye! Nature's wrath indeed." (Omen)

...so obviously she's powerful. Like, out-of-this-world cracked. I mean, these are the most powerful radiants acknowledging her as a prodigy. They don't praise her, or joke around with her. Both of them are observing, seeing how far she's gonna let it go. My main hc is that Skye actually had huge issues getting her new found power under control. Maybe things kept animating on their own and attacking whatever moved, including her. Maybe her healing powers backfired on everything, causing more harm than good before she learned to dose it right.

When you look at her when she's using her wolf, she's frowning; standing still, arms outstretched and struggling, like someone placed a dozen logs on them. It sure doesn't look easy. My guess is that the dog (or anything she makes) has a mind of their own, and the connection is a two way road. I think that in order to control the animal, she's got to enforce her will over it's own. But that means that the thing is fighting back. So is it possible that if she makes something more complex and coherent it'd be able to overpower her? What would happen then?

Also let me propose another thing:

"Be strong, Skye." (Reyna, before the barrier drops.)

Ehem. Could it be possible that Reyna helped Skye get her powers in order? Or that she's trying to inconspicuously train her into someone so powerful neither her or Omen can compare? I Reyna trying to convince her that Radiants are the superior race? Are these words of encouragement a sign of a bond or a friendship? I'll let you decide.
