Yokaitober, Days 5-8

I know its the 16th and over halfway through the month, but I promise I have been (mostly) keeping up with Yokaitober. My issue is that building habits is hard, and I am definitely out of habit on posting to tumblr.

In the second series of yokai for the month, I covered a pretty wide variety of creatures, including the jubokko, a bloodthirsty tree that was actually created in the 20th century; Keizobo, one of five famous kitsune from Inaba; the yogen no tori, a helpful, pandemic-predicting raven that was "seen" only one time; and the hinoshu, a rock-like yokai the size of a germ who lives in people's spleens.

If you'd rather not wait for me to remember to post these yokai before seeing them, you can always sign up to follow me over on Patreon, where I post new yokai (almost) every day of October. Plus, if you pledge as little as $2/month, you can get access to some other great 5e homebrew, including new magic items, spells, and monsters, every single week.

While I enjoy romantic imodna and would celebrate with the rest of you were they to become canon, my preference leans toward platonic, largely because we so rarely get to see relationships this deeply intense and all-encompassing as platonic. A character's significant other, their life partner, their Person, is almost always also their romantic partner.

But you know what’s even rarer? Romantic and platonic being portrayed side by side, co-existing and equally important, because you can love and share your life with more than one person. Most of the time, the characters have to choose. Vex and Vax split to live with their romantic partners long before Vax's untimely end. Caleb and Veth separate to different cities. The narrative forces Yasha and Molly apart.

Imogen and Laudna are each other’s People. But they have also talked about attraction toward other's in the past (and more recently, Laudna's crush on Ira). What would it look like if one or both of them got romantically involved with someone else, but without letting it change their connection? Could we see something almost like a polyamorous relationship, with one romantic life partner and one platonic, where they are never made to choose one over the other?

So many stories and fan-metas uplift the romantic as superior. The few that don’t instead uplift the platonic. But they don’t need to be pitted against each other. You can have more than one important person in your life. I'd love to see that portrayed.

[piperslovebot]

Jenna, Alli, Clare, Bianca,Marisol, Maya, Tori, Manny, Ellie are some of the characters I think give off sapphic vibes

Oh 100%

Alli, I can see her being in love with Clare and having an enemies to gfs storyline with Bianca.

Clare, same thing. Her and Jenna would’ve been so fun together. Same with her and Bianca, Imogen, etc.

Jenna, to me, is such a disaster bi. I’m really into the hc that she was into Clare in s9 but thinking that she’s str8, she settles for KC instead.

Bianca is also definitely bi in my eyes. Her and Marisol having an enemies to gfs storyline would’ve been fun. Also her and Clare having a Janny-esque dynamic with them being unexpected but so good together >>

Marisol is also bi as fuck. Her and Katie are literally best friends to lovers gold (one of the three redeemable things about Katie). Also like I said, her and Bianca being enemies to lovers. Same with her and Fiona.

Maya is also bi as hell in my eyes. I love the idea of her having an enemies to girlfriends dynamic with Zoe. Also her and Tori being best friends to lovers is a serve (au with Toraya getting together in s11b)

Tori, if I didn’t ship her with Zig and Miles, she’d be such a disaster lesbian in my mind. I like the idea of her taking shots at Maya because she likes her but doesn’t know how to express it.

Manny is bi af, no question. Her and Ellie could’ve been a “ditch-the-ex” thing in s5 instead of the Cr*nny/Cr*llie mess. I read a fic of them and I’m really into them. Also her and Paige as enemies to girlfriends >>>. I also love her and Liberty as besties to girlfriends. And even though I hate Emma/Manny, I’m not gonna pretend there isn’t any gf energy there.

Ellie is definitely a chaotic bisexual. She had such great potential enemies to gfs dynamics with Paige and Manny. Also let’s appreciate the fact that she and Paige canonically kissed and she started it and didn’t look not into it.

I spent last night listening to Tori Amos and NPR on my battery-powered cassette player, reading a whole book in the 6 hours the power was out, so.

Great thing about not-working right now, gonna have the evening I planned last night today.

Weekly Reading Update (5/29/23)

Reviews and thoughts under the cut

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (7/10)

It took me a while to finish this book, but I got through it. It was a solid 7 for me, which is what I typically give average books. I think it moved way to slowly, and really could not have cared less about Dorian's whole thing, but there were parts I liked. I really enjoyed Manon's perspective—the wyverns are just so cool—I liked Aedion, and Aelin's finale was pretty good, even if I wasn't a huge fan of the build-up. I like that the romance seems to be taking a turn towards a slow burn, which I prefer infinitely to the meet-and-get-together-in-one-book approach that Maas often uses.

Island of Silence by Lisa McMann (8/10)

The first book of The Unwanteds is firmly average. It's fun to read, but it lacks something that makes it stand out, especially considering when it was published. That all changes in Island of Silence. While the first half of the book is just okay and there are some character choices that irk me, the second half is just batshit insane. All sorts of things are happening, including some great worldbuilding developments, and there's a huge plot twist at the end. It definitely makes you want to read the next book!

Code by Kathy and Brendan Reichs (8/10)

I really enjoy the Virals series. It's a candy series for me; not exactly great quality but so much fun to eat. The mysteries in these books are always so well-planned and researched; it's obvious the Reichs put a ton of effort into writing these. If you ever want to know some facts about Charleston, just read these books. I'm a fan of Tory Brennan, she's a relatable and likable protagonist, and I loved that the romantic subplot was getting more attention in this one. My one major complaint is that Tory seems to be shifting more and more in not-like-other-girls. In the first book, she at least had one other girl she was friends with/looked up to. Now most of her female interactions are limited to her dad's well-meaning but frankly idiotic girlfriend and her school bullies, which doesn't really make for an incredibly feminist narrative.

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System Vol. 4 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (10/10)

This book is after the main story has ceased and is a collection of short stories and extras that are basically just fanfiction. I loved it. It was cute, silly, and...steamy at times. I feel like after the third volume, which while great doesn't really have the time to delve into the main relationship, it's the perfect addition. It's pretty adorable to watch them become more comfortable around each other, and there's also some development for the secondary relationship and some side characters such as Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan. I enjoyed myself supremely.

Blood Bonds by J. Bree (CR, 51%)

I've made very little progress with this book since last week. I'm in no rush, and I've been craving a bit more substance. If you'd like to see my thoughts, check out the reading update from last week.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (CR, 25%)

This book has been hyped to the moon and back, so I'm kind of nervous! So far, it's pretty good. I like that the main character, Violet, is clever and uses that to her advantage, though I do find her personality, which is very stubborn and sassy, very similar to most other YA/NA protagonists. It's really obvious who the love interest is supposed to be, but I like him so far, and I also like that there's no instalove situation going on, even if Violet (fairly) finds him attractive. The worldbuilding is incredibly interesting—the way the dragons work and the different types are just right up my alley. I suspect that while everything right now is revolving around Violet simply living through the next three years, there's something more under the surface (there have already been hints of historical revisionism!).
