New books, my plants flowering 💕

[fangirl-nadir]

I need more people to read The Merciful Crow and The Faithless Hawk just so I can talk about how much I want to smack Tavin in the second book

[slumbering-shadows]

tfh jas is so sassy im actually obsessed. why does this man always have his hands on his hips

[book-worm132]

I finallyyyyy finished The Faithless Hawk by Margaret Owen (due to my inability to focus, the book was amazing). Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. I feel like the end was a tad rushed but thankful there was proper (and well done) resolution for all the loose threads. If you're into fantasy novels and looking to pick up something a little different, highly recommend the first book The Merciful Crow.

The Merciful Crow Duology

By Margaret Owen

Hook: A future chieftain. Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime. A fugitive prince. When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie’s ready to cut her losses—and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can’t refuse: protect him from a ruthless queen, and he’ll protect the Crows when he reigns.A too-cunning bodyguard. Hawk warrior Tavin has always put Jas’s life before his, magically assuming the prince’s appearance and shadowing his every step. But what happens when Tavin begins to want something to call his own?

My thoughts: !!! This book was one of my favorites in high school ngl. I like the first book better than the second; I like the incomplete finality of the ending. There's just too much going on in the second book to really feel coherent. I thought the world building in the first book was a little bit more put together than in the second as well, but it's still a pretty solid book.

Ivory Wraith lines about Love Interests

Extracted from the game’s code (17th October 2024)

Sydney's one is pretty long, so it's on a separate post (here).

Robin:

Little nothing.

The wing-clipped are better smothered.

How far would you go? How far can you run?

You've built your cage, songbird. Lie in it.

(If Robin’s trauma is more than 20)

I'm sorry that you put your trust in him/her*.

*(referring to the player)

(If Robin has fully crossdressed)

New skin. Same sin.

Whitney:

Tormentor.

Drown in smoke. Drown in flame.

A suit of armour made of bodies. They're not here now

(If you have rescued Whitney from being dismissed)

Betrayed by your worst enemy. Do you love him/her*?

*(referring to the player)

Eden:

Eden...

So much left unsaid.

If you could take me with you...

You never should have stopped running.

Like a long lost friend you never knew.

You'll never be far enough. It never leaves.

(If player has Stockholm Syndrome: Eden)

You found a home, in collar and chains.

Avery:

Not all stains wash out.

Money. Material. Meaningless noise.

You still wouldn't be able to afford it.

(If High Rage Avery)

Wine mixes with blood, shed from the glass shattered.

Alex:

You would be nothing.

One of thirteen. Indistinguishable.

Water down your mind, until you destroy all you love.

(If Remy’s Encroachment is more than 60)

The locusts will have a new feast.

Kylar:

Child of monsters.

You've seen it, too.

A shadow, just as faithless.

Were your grip a little stronger.

Blistering emerald green, blinding the world. Such is your envy.

(If Ivory Wraith’s offspring is dead or sold)

You failed them. You failed us.

(If player has Stockholm Syndrome: Kylar)

Longing, belonging.

Black Wolf:

Wait your turn.

The howl, too, drips with red.

Dare to hunt. Be made to heel.

(If player becomes the leader of the wolf pack)

Bite the hand that feeds.

Great Hawk:

Wise to fear your reflection.

An untended egg never hatches.

Fly to the sun or sink in the mud.

The song never stopped. Did it ever begin?

(If Player can fly from the Harpy Transformation)

Count the feathers. Uncountable feathers.

Fie🐦‍⬛ and Tavin🦅

[skunts-own-truth]

The Tyranid Hive Mind has attempted many alterations to its usual array of bioforms designed for war. Not everything can end up advancing the Tyranid body towards the ideal killing machine, in fact, there are many failed strains of Tyranids that have been unleashed on the Imperium of Man in attempt to gain the upper hand against the resistant human biosource.

The lesser known Hive Fleet Cetus, to name one example, developed a rather interesting quirk in its strain of Tyranid bioforms. All variations of the foul Xenos monstrosities from Cetus had unmistakable, remarkably shaped humanoid lips. Full, kissable… some may even say “juicy,” these Xenos monsters took to the field smacking and puckering those lips together. Inquisitor Tarvus Gnull of the Ordo Orallius theorizes that these devastatingly succulent smackers were designed to lure human prey into a deep, and seemingly loving kiss. Once lip locked, the Xenos would then reveal its more monstrous nature, slaying or devouring the faithless dog who dared abandon their post to smooch a nightmare.

Truly terrible.

By chance, or perhaps by the divine machinations of the God-Emperor, Light of Terra, the world Hive Fleet Cetus invaded happened to be a recruiting world of the enigmatic Emerald Kiss-Hawks chapter of Astartes, known for their ability to kiss with the best of them. The world was saved, and the Hive Mind learned that kissing was not an evolutionary requirement to devouring all of mankind.
