2024 Reading Reflections
Best three books i read this year, that are new to me. In no real order. In so far as I think they have craft, in addition to me enjoying them.
The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why by Amanda Ripley
Book I expected to love and hated: Autumn at the Willow River Guesthouse by C.P. Ward. Saying I expected to love it is a little strong. I went in for some solid autumn vibes only and knew the story would be less down my alley. The story just was not good AND it really let me down in the department of fall vibes and imagery. Like I guess it was there, but like blink and you miss it. And you know what? I'm absolutely not opposed to the romantic leads falling in love 'through letters,' but like show me any that actually build any chemistry? And don't let me spend far more time with the love interest's mom than the love interest and barely make the relationship with the mom relevant by the end. Bleh Disaster. XD
Three recommendations for when you’re drinking on a plane:
You Made a Fool out of Death with your Beauty - Awaeke Emezi (for romance readers)
Exit Strategy by Martha Wells (for sci-fi/adventure readers)
Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle (for horror readers
Honorary mention for western readers - Passin' Through by Luis L'Amour XD
Book I will absolutely reread: The Will to Change by Bell Hooks
Book I found overhyped: 12 Days at Bleakley Manor by Michelle Greip. Definitely wasn't worth 4 stars but I barely saw any reviews lower than that.
Author I read the most this year: Martha Wells
Favorite author I discovered: Awaeke Emezi. I sort of found them between the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024, but I read two books by them this year and my most read author this year was three books sooo yeah. I think that counts XD
Reread that was better than I remembered: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark. I understood what was going on better this time. Though I still want to know what's up with Childermas. When I couldn't remember exactly how things went down, I was like 'did they reveal he was The Raven King?' but nope XD
Reread that was worse than I remembered: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. It really didn't change my opinion on the book, but while getting to catch all the hints and tells the second time was fun, it didn't make up for having to deal with an insufferable character all over again XD
Favorite nonfiction: UGH THIS ISN'T FAIR. I'm going to go with the one that was easiest/most fascinating/fun to read for this one to help me narrow down and that means I'm going to go with, today: From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Dougherty
The worst three books I read this year:
Autumn at the Willow River Guesthouse by C.P. Ward
The Last Days of the Romanovs:Tragedy at Ekaterinburg - Helen Rappaport (sorry but this was soured by then listening to a podcast that focused on the emperor's politics and seeing how much the book glossed over that so deceptively so as to seem like maybe he was just a chill guy actually who just was kind of bad at politics XD)
The Motion of Puppets by Keith Donohue (This probably isn't totally fair but for a book that didn't make me like the characters all that much, that ending just didn't land for me)
I'M CHOOSING TO TREAT THIS LIKE A TAG GAME OBVIOUSLY. Because it's a super solid series of book questions!!
No pressure: @once-a-polecat @ecouter-bien @rosepetalrevolution

i miss actually socialising in real life, to the point where i think i'm going to have to take the leap and join a group or something urgh i crave a little cocktail and a meal while i listen to some people talking like let me get tipsy and then tell me a story u-u
#i have like a once or twice yearly thing with some old colleagues but they haven't been around lately#one of them moved away from us#the other is just not happy at work#and the other is having a bit of a breakdown#so i don't want to push them but it'd be nice to just do something!!#i hang out with my husband and my family and stuff but i think i need a new buddy u-u#finnie shouts into the void

microdosing on killing myself by reading eruri fic exclusively for three days straight
#there is something so very delicious about how loud all the things they dont say are#what if duty brought u together and kept u apart#what if not saying all these things is killing u but saying them would kill u twice as fast#because u know u know u aren't making it out alive not both of u anyway and maybe never having it will be easier than losing it#its just sooooooo good#everything is so tainted by melancholy and death ♡#its just doom and tragedy and repression and yearning and denial and so close to the surface it might as well be spoken out loud#but it never can and never will#and thats how my bi yearly 3 day reading fics for a pairing i havent thought of in 5 years and will not think of again for another 5#breakdown is going#i haven't watched or engaged with snk since like 2017#but by god does eruri still have a hold on me#every few years i remember them out of the blue and its like lightning striking#txt.me

2023 Fanfic Breakdown
Name(s): Omegarose
Fandom(s): Star Wars, My Hero Academia (primarily)
Where you post: Ao3
Most Popular One Shot (by kudos) This Year: Cloud Gazing - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Coriolanus Snow x Lucy Gray x Sejanus Plinth
Most Popular One Shot (by kudos) Overall: everyone gets hugged because i said so - immediately following the Loki season one ending, if Loki, Sylvie, alligator Loki, and kid Loki dumped in front of Thor
Most Popular Multi-Chapter (by kudos) This Year: technically the same as below, but followed by Companion of the Ancestors - Star Wars time travel fic with the disaster lineage
Most Popular Multi-Chapter (by kudos) Overall: The CloneNet - The Clone Wars media au
Favorite Story You’ve Written So Far: Into the Endless Sky - (kinda) post Phantom Menace, eventual ObiMaul, Obi-Wan raising Anakin and Maul raising Feral
Fic You Were Nervous to Post: A Spiral Into Orbit - My Hero Academia, humans are space orcs au
How do you choose your titles? Mainly by pulling something thematically appropriate from the fic itself and then struggling to make it more poetic
Do you outline? Not so much this past year
Complete: 31
In-Progress: 19
Coming soon/not yet started: I posted the first chapter of a Hunger Games au where Lucy Gray comes back to District 12 and keeps living there, mostly focusing on the original trilogy time period ('Til The Mockingbird Sings)
Prompts? I love ideas been thrown at me, but with the understanding I will not really be writing them
Upcoming work you’re most excited about: I just started working on a couple of My Hero fics that I've been sitting on for a year or two at this point
#i don't think anyone cares about these#but yknow what#also i'm aware i didn't write much at all this year#spring semester was rough as hell on me#i literally lost so much weight#anyways#fanfic breakdown#yearly fanfic breakdown#fic rec#my fic#star wars#obimaul#tbosas#bnha#mha

life lately feels like a continuous vamp of a song, like it's leading somewhere more and more desperately
but ain't shit happening
#mrowr.txt#maybe its leading up to one of my yearly breakdowns#was texting mom about my dad earlier#apparently one of my lil brothers has glasses now!#...i wouldnt know except she told me#i havent seen them in a while.#dad and his gf never reach out to me except for my phone bill every month#im torn between wanting to reach out and try to be a part of their lives again#and how much damage my father has done to me. that i SEE him doing to my step sister too#i dont want to be around that :(

it’s been. a very rough afternoon
#fun to know that even while in the midst of my worst disassociative episode in the past year I can still cobble together a good meme#anyways um. about to tear down literally everything I ever derives joy from in my room and put into storage and never speak more than needed#to my dad. I am. so so tired. every time I think things are looking up and I can relax in my own home something has to happen#and then I need to slowly rebuild any safety I felt beforehand. I hate knowing my stuff was looked through and I dont know to what extent#anyways yeah. yearly deeply oversharing personal post over. gonna go hide literally half of my mortal possessions in a box somewhere#personal#no rblogging etc etc#edit: having another breakdown bear w me#I’ve scraped myself down to nothing for peace in my family I grovel and shut up and bear it fucking all and even then#they have the fucking audacity to ask me more? to put away the few reminders I have of people who love me things I enjoy#and the friendships Ive held onto like a dying man does to water?#they say they care about my mental health and how the devil affects everyone insidiously. I think they should take a long deep look#in the fucking mirror. open their eyes to how fucking close I was to just. giving up while I was suffocating under the veil of religion#and no before anyone asks I’m not gonna do anything stupid. I’m not one to live for spite but I trudge on hoping to get somewhere better.#just gonna have a short cry before bottling it up and dealing w it ten yrs down the road. not gonna go thru another ‘check in’ to lose more#oops forgot my little tag ->#ubb chirps

i am falling to pieces in my own hands.
#je parle#thru a string of horrible events i have managed to fuck up my entire life#and also managed to jack up my car horribly enough that fixing it costs half of my yearly college tuition costs#and i feel horrible about everything and i am full of regrets#truly i am struggling#anyway. having my 1pm breakfast after my third breakdown of the day#this is an empty country i am the king and i should not be allowed to touch anything
