#the bitterness is fresh

I can't believe The OA never got a S3 cuz could you imagine what it would have been like with Hap, OA and Steve all together going to the hospital?? The tension?? And Hap doesn't know who exactly this guy is and his relationship with OA, he'd likely recognize him from the pool, but other than that he's just some random kid who hopped into the ambulance, said hello, addressed him by his nickname and won't let go of OA's hand

We could have had Steve protecting OA, them trying to reunite with the others, Hap's confusion and trying to piece together a plan while the two become a thorn in his side, maybe Steve and Hap fighting? OA too (she definitely deserves to throw a punch or slap at Hap)? And that would probably just be the first couple of episodes alone njdsnfidsjk

So much potential for what could have come and we'll never find out

Me: "Hmmm... I'm not sure if Bright Whisker is looking wolfy enough"

Partner: "It's probably because her muzzle is kind of broad, you should make it more narrow while also making the top of the nose bigger"

Me: (hears the word 'broad' and enters a fugue state, awakening to this when I return to reality)

Netflix just had the audacity to recommend Julie and the phantoms to me as “new and hot”. Bestie. It is not new and if it’s so hot then why didn’t you approve a second season??

"Recently, a wave of fresh paranormal romance books have hit the shelves. The real question is, which new books should you pick up?

Paranormal romance is a subgenre of romance that follows the HEA/HFN (happily ever after/ happy for now) arc of human, non-human, and/or superhuman characters. The paranormal beings involved could be ghosts, werewolves, vampires, witches, or other supernatural creatures of legend that slot into a paranormal version of our world. If it’s in a high fantasy otherworld or is a monster romance, I am following the judgment of fellow Book Riot writer Jessica Pryde in her paranormal romance recommendation list and disqualifying them from this round-up.

As a longtime fan of the genre, I have plenty of backlist recommendations and a carefully curated list of fresh paranormal romance books. Every book here was published in the last five years, between 2019 and 2024. As a general personal rule, I like my paranormal romance to have believable, well-developed characters and a plot that hooks me in. If either the love interests or plot are paper-thin, my attention swiftly drifts. So, if you are looking for a witch, werewolf, vamp, or otherwise paranormal being falling in love, I’ve decided these are the ones you should read."

What is Connor's worse scar so far?

Probably his tracker/monitor scar. He’s had several surgical incisions, but merpeople have an extremely fast rate of healing and regeneration (something that Kamski became particularly interested in after he’d caught Connor), so most of those scars have healed already, leaving only faint white lines if anything.

The scar on his temple, however, seems to be strangely persistent. It’s his most painful scar to date, and it’s also a constant reminder of everything that’s been done to him.

“how could she do this to me?” lee radziwell asked truman capote, at least according to the later memory of the writer eleanor perry. perry was collaborating with capote on writing a screenplay for television when the call came in from lee. she says that lee was screaming so loudly, perry could hear her words through the receiver: “how could she? how could this happen?” truman didn’t know what to tell her.

“she’s crying and weeping and sobbing,” he later told friends of lee. “i can’t tell you what she said but it’s going to be in the news. it’s the biggest piece of gossip there is, and she’s crying her eyes out because of it.”

afterwards, when lee arrived in skorpios for the wedding, jackie embraced lee and thanked her for coming. then, according to what lee would remember, jackie firmly grabbed her forearm with her two hands and with great urgency said just four words: “i need this, lee.” that was all she said—“i need this, lee.” lee looked at her closely, studied her anguished face, and she knew it was true.

“i know you do,” she said. “and you should have it.” that was the full extent of the bouvier sisters’ discussion about aristotle onassis.

jackie then asked lee to be her matron of honor and lee agreed.

Every time this dude is put in a situation where I think he's about to explode in a rainbow of bitterness and entitlement, he just doesn't, and it's very bizarre

Of course he's also the pov character and I don't know that I'd call him a reliable narrator so he could be omitting the parts where he made himself out to be a dick, but still
