The Wolves Chronicles by Joan Aiken

Wicked wolves and a grim governess threaten Bonnie and her cousin Sylvia when Bonnie's parents leave Willoughby Chase for a sea voyage. Left in the care of the cruel Miss Slighcarp, the girls can hardly believe what is happening to their once happy home. The servants are dismissed, the furniture is sold, and Bonnie and Sylvia are sent to a prison-like orphan school. It seems as if the endless hours of drudgery will never cease.

With the help of Simon the gooseboy and his flock, they escape. But how will they ever get Willoughby Chase free from the clutches of the evil Miss Slighcarp?

Leven Thumps by Obert Skye

Fourteen-year-old Leven Thumps (a.k.a. "Lev") lives a wretched life in Burnt Culvert, Oklahoma. But his life is about to change and his destiny be fulfilled as he learns about a secret gateway that bridges two worlds -- the real world and Foo, a place created at the beginning of time in the folds of the mind that makes it possible for mankind to dream and hope, aspire and imagine. But Foo is in chaos, and three transplants from that dreamworld have been sent to retrieve Lev, who alone has the power to save Foo.

Enter Clover, a wisecracking, foot-high sidekick; Winter, a girl with a special power of her own; and Geth, the rightful heir to Foo. Their mission: to convince Lev that he has the power to save Foo. Can this unique band of travelers help Lev overcome his doubt? Will Lev find the gateway in time? Or will Sabine and his dark shadows find the gateway first and destroy mankind?

Greenglass House by Kate Milford

It’s wintertime at Greenglass House. The creaky smuggler’s inn is always quiet during this season, and twelve-year-old Milo, the innkeepers’ adopted son, plans to spend his holidays relaxing. But on the first icy night of vacation, out of nowhere, the guest bell rings. Then rings again. And again. Soon Milo’s home is bursting with odd, secretive guests, each one bearing a strange story that is somehow connected to the rambling old house. As objects go missing and tempers flare, Milo and Meddy, the cook’s daughter, must decipher clues and untangle the web of deepening mysteries to discover the truth about Greenglass House—and themselves.

Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl

This book is filled with revolting rhymes. (Be warned: It's no ordinary Once upon a time).

There's poor Cindy whose heart was torn to shreds, because her Prince, he chops off heads!

Snow White's dwarfs although awfully nice, are guilty of one shocking vice . . .

And what becomes of Goldilocks, that nasty thieving little louse, when she goes sneaking around the three bear's house . . .

Loser by Jerry Spinelli

Just like other kids, Zinkoff rides his bike, hopes for snow days, and wants to be like his dad when he grows up. But Zinkoff also raises his hand with all the wrong answers, trips over his own feet, and falls down with laughter over a word like "Jabip."

Other kids have their own word to describe him, but Zinkoff is too busy to hear it. He doesn't know he's not like everyone else. And one winter night, Zinkoff's differences show that any name can someday become "hero."

Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And if I should die before I awake,

I pray the popular attend my wake.

Charlotte Usher feels practically invisible at school, and then one day she really is invisible. Even worse: she's dead. And all because she choked on a gummy bear. But being dead doesn't stop Charlotte from wanting to be popular; it just makes her more creative about achieving her goal.

What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

Twelve-year-old Katy is constantly making and quickly breaking resolutions about how she will change her ways and treat others, especially her five younger brothers and sisters, with more respect and compassion. When Katy meets her Cousin Helen, an invalid, Katy is awed by her kindness, prettiness, and generosity. Katy is determined to become more like Helen, a resolution that lasts only a few hours. Soon, however, Katy gets a chance to become more like cousin Helen than she ever wished as she finds herself confined to her bedroom for four years as a result of an accident.

Next season I think they should just drop Sam Reid in a forest with 8 real wolves and have him figure it out, Lestat possession would kick right in and he'd be fine #trust

[marsneedstherapy]

I cannot keep getting obsessed with books with literally no fandom/a completely dead fandom

[lioncourt1985]

everytime i think i’m doing okay i remember soon i’ll have to watch sam reid play a human lestat going through the ringer back when he was very gentle and naive and then i’m not doing okay anymore

[chuck-the-goon]

On one hand, Lestat one-upping Louis for attention by releasing his own book as well as songs/music videos/going on tour, is very in line with his character, being the ‘brat prince vampire’ as Marius so fondly calls him in QotD. But on the other hand, what if he was trying to protect Louis by redirecting some of the heat from other vampires so that he becomes more of a target by being the bigger bullseye?

[will80sbyers]

So much potential… All cancelled

[garvalhaminho]

no the fact that jace doesn't even know his own birthday and *thinks* it's in january like.......oh valentine you're gonna get it one day

[acanaryscry]

What supernatural creature would you yourself assign for your detectives (or ocs) if they weren't the detective™ of that worldstate but like apart of the agency? or something idk

[dykekingofhell]

louis is so fucking funny, during the 90s he was just repeatedly showing up to lestat’s house for movie nights with his little vhs tapes and dvds being like “hey lestat can we watch one of my two favorite movies that are romantic renditions of gothic fairytales about beautiful and vulnerable young women falling in love with monstrous yet tender and kind creatures again?” whore.

Tl;Dr: Syaoran is on the left, and Syaoron is on the right.

Long Spoilers Below

This one is the Syaoran twins from Holitsuba. I didn't realize this before, but in the line post, the twins were called '小龍と小狼', which means one would be Xiaolang (Syaoran) or 'little wolf' and the other one would be called Xiaolong (Syaoron) or 'little dragon' in both Chinese and Japanese.

Syaoron = Xiaolong = 小龍: 小= small, little 龍= dragon, especially a Chinese dragon

Syaoran = Xiaolang = 小狼: 小= small, little 狼= wolf

This image from Holitsuba should give us context of who's who.

(Image Source)

"Notes on characters: Sakura and Syaoran obviously like each other, and Syaoron appears to like teasing his younger brother about that. Syaoron also appears to be the more mature twin of the pair, while Syaoran gives off a more innocent air and is more easily startled."

-quote from tsubasa.fandom

The kanji isn't listed on the source website. Without knowing the original kanji used for which character, it's just a 50/50 chance. Mistakes and mistransations can happen to anyone.

I delved into the JP wiki, and this is what I found.

小狼（シャオラン）

B組。海外からの留学生。真面目で素直だが、成績は四月一日以下。サッカー部と掛け持ちで剣道部所属。サクラとは恋仲（第1話）。

Xiaolang (Syaoran)

"Class B. An international student from overseas. Diligent and honest, but academic performance is below average compared to Watanuki. Also a member of both the soccer club and the kendo club. In a romantic relationship with Sakura (Episode 1)."

And, this:

小龍（シャオロン）

C組。小狼の双子の兄で、留学生。小狼とほとんど瓜二つでありながら、性格は多少真面目とは言い難い性格。バスケットボール部と掛け持ちで弓道部所属。第二部にて初登場した。原作における『小狼』に当たる人物。

Xiaolong (Syaoron)

"Class C. Twin brother of Syaoran, also an exchange student. Nearly identical to Syaoran in appearance, but with a slightly less serious personality. A member of both the basketball club and the archery club. First appeared in the second part. Corresponds to the character '小狼' in the original work."

Syaoran is more serious while Syaoron is light-hearted.

Syaoran is on the left, and Syaoron is on the right.

(That means the fandom link was incorrect about Syaoron being serious/Syaoran being innocent)

I just love how, one day, Stig decides I am going to follow this kid to the end of the world and doesn't regret it once.

[ramblings-of-lola]

I'm sure that I'm not the first person to say this, but I really wouldn't mind a season of a show or a book in a series that is just characters living their lives. There isn't any world-shattering problem that the characters need to solve, no villain to fight, etc.

I think the best way to do this would be a sitcom or a book of short stories. Sitcom's are already insanely popular and it's usually just ordinary people dealing with everyday normal problems. Die-hard fans of book series with read any content related to their favorite characters. Also, imagine the character development! If characters are used to being in danger constantly, how will they handle ordinary life? How would it impact their relationships with the other characters?

So much potential!

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐋𝐲𝐜𝐮𝐬

Another creature of distraction and power. Unlike the more… decorative one, this one loves to get in your way for a certain about of time. Loves messing with diver gear and the mechanics of boats in a way for you to get very frustrated. It’s how some vessels and humans drown however, becoming too angry at the creature will gift you slow, suffocating death. It is highly advised to amuse it until back on land for your survival. Also advised one shouldn’t become attached to the creature as it has been seen to be rather dangerous to hang around, and its nest proves it.

This hunky creature has slate gray scales for its main color while it has a bright red lateral line. It’s floppy-like pelvic, anal and dorsal fins fading to a white at the tips, and a white biconcave tail for unnatural power.

𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬:

Already, loves to get in your way. Lives to become the object in your hands, replacing it with himself so he can coo up at you despite him being way bigger than you. It’s cute for a moment until you actually need to get stuff done.

Have a favorite place to be or a rock? He’ll be there waiting for you or replace that rock with himself, there is no in between. You’re going to have him in your way whether you like it or not. He just wants your attention! You’re the only one that gave him the most of it!

Would absolutely lay on top of you to make sure you can’t go anywhere without him. You’ll have to take him with you everywhere you go. There is no in between that either. You’re getting the weight of him in your shoulders.

Don’t want him around? Fine >:( he’ll just huff and pout at you until you give in, and suddenly he’s all happy again. Though, if you do need your space he’ll give you… some. You’ll get a surprising 3-5 hour break at most. You’re not leaving him without a goodbye.

Doesn’t want you to leave all the time. Doesn’t like it. He gets all huffy and sad and will stay right where you left him at the shore, waiting for you. Nuzzles you tightly when you do come back and relaxes with you, feeling… whole again. Merman is literally the definition of a puppy, but just in water.

𝐒𝐦𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬:

Is a little intense fucker. Loves seeing your face all blissed out with your mouth open producing such breathless and lewd sounds for him. He can’t help but kiss you silly and increase his pace of mating you and squeezing at every little skin shown to him.

Lives to eat you out first. To feel you squirm just because of his tongue lapping at your folds. To get a taste of your arousal and have it stained on his chin. You can’t move once he has you in this state. Once he has his meal? He’s eating it.

Ties you up at his mercy. It makes him feel a certain way when you can’t move away from him. That you can only take what he gives you. That you can’t go up on land and leave him once again. Yeah, there might be more to that than there is.

Does get… possessive; jealous. Would be quick to have you underneath him and take his cock like a good mate you are. How you whine underneath him and beg at him for more. Have you slob that your his and that you won’t leave him for a human.

Absolutely does put you in a tight mating press with his canines latched onto your shoulder, slobbering all over it while you claw at his sides and back at the intensity of him trying to breed you. He won’t stop until he cums which honestly might be a long time because he prolongs his climax until he’s weak and can’t hold it anymore.

man. reading wolves of the beyond at a young age probably gave me a nonstandard view of what children are able to handle
