If you're lamenting the fact that you used to be able to shoot through a 500-page novel in like a day when you were in middle school and now you can't, it's worth bearing in mind that a big part of that is because when you were in middle school, your reading comprehension sucked. Yes, mental health and the stresses of adult life can definitely be factors, but it's also the case that reading is typically more effortful as an adult because you've learned to Ponder The Implications. The material isn't just skimming over the surface of your brain anymore, and some of the spoons you used to spend on maximising your daily page count are now spent on actually thinking about what you're reading!

“Yasha, you-.”
She raises her brows, curiosity blooming plain by the tilt of her head.

Preemptive regret and baseless fear both weigh down his tongue. Light, what is he doing.
Essek takes a breath, rushes. No turning back.
“You asked me, a bit ago, if I love him. Caleb.”

So I'm thinking again about Ludinus ostensibly using names of AoA things for more modern purposes (Cerberus Assembly, Malleus Factorum-> Malleus Key) and also the question of his age and whether he is/isn't from AoA times. Not because I think there is an answer yet & not to discuss what scenario is most likely (not here during joke hours) but because it's funny to think that if he isn't from AoA, he's naming his own stuff after things from the past he thinks are cool and wants to emulate, and if he is from AoA and had a role in the original names, he's like the person who names every dog they own Buddy

unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

No Magic AU's!
Tumblr media
This week, we've got nine (nein) fics that explore what the wizards would be like without magic. Answer: racecar drivers, teachers, lab mates, and rock climbers - but also pretty much the same. Check the fics out beneath the cut, and as always - comment and kudos if you like them!
when the lights go out by 06151126 (27309, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: self distructive behavior
Essek Thelyss is back on the grid after a few years away from racing. Caleb Widogast is on the run from his past, he finds a place to settle down as a mechanic at Brenatto's Garage. When Essek visits the garage in the middle of the F1 summer break, Caleb's past collides with his present in an unprecedented way.
Reccer says: Something I would have never thought of but incredibly gripping and suits them well
Tumblr media
all this science i don't understand by mllekurtz (TheKnittingJedi) (8858, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Small-town high school science teacher Caleb Widogast has his life more or less figured out, or so he thinks. Then an unexpected variable gets thrown into the equation in the form of the new addition to the teaching staff: the handsome and clever Essek Thelyss.
Reccer says: I liked it!
Tumblr media
Sleep, With Benifits by KmacKatie (62272, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Shadowgast romcom where they both fail at communication. they get there in the end
Reccer says: it's very sweet, they're both in love with each other and it's obvious to everyone but them
Tumblr media
Unexpected Thrills by nox_nocturnal (5082, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Caleb gives Essek a ride on his motorcycle and they're both pining professors.
Reccer says: Extremely vivid descriptions and amazing pining
Tumblr media
Resonance Broadening by toneofjoy (51665, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: None
Shadowgast as labmates, enimes to lovers.
Reccer says: I liked it!
Tumblr media
gloamings end by toneofjoy (60183, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
climbing AU where Bren and Essek are competitors, but get along really well despite Essek's best efforts
Reccer says: an interesting exploration of Essek's attraction with him still being very much ace. also, I have learned so much about climbing
Tumblr media
The Kitchen Sink by mousecookie (17126, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Modern AU where Essek is a supermodel, Caleb does odd jobs, and they keep running into each other and finding ways they are connected
Reccer says: It's funny!
Tumblr media
no place to go (let it snow!) by Dragonslaeyr (20586, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
It's the busiest travel time of the year, but Caleb Widogast can't find anyone at Uthodurn International Airport to buy his spare ticket to Rexxentrum. Maybe it's because it's the Day of Heart and Hearth, the flight is already delayed by twelve hours, and the extra seat is under the name ‘Frumpkin.’ ...Or maybe it's because he only wants one person to make the trip with him, but Essek Thelyss is bound for an entirely different destination.
Reccer says: An amazing, cozy and romantic holiday movie of a fic
Tumblr media
primogeniture by quanshi (burningdarkfire) (2850, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes
Trent Ikithon controls the largest media and entertainment company in the world. His three adopted children are making plans for the future. Essek wants in.
Reccer says: A succession AU, hot and doomed to heartbreak but very, very tasty
Tumblr media

saw someone on instagram say “you shouldn’t post your art until it’s good” and that comment filled me with rage so i want to say to every beginner artist or artist who feels their art is not improving no matter how long they’ve been at it. i love you and i love your art and everything you post bears part of you and that is so beautiful. block everyone who says otherwise they are not entitled to freely consume what they rag on.

One of my absolute favorite CR moments ever is still in ExU when Ashley and Aabria were trying to figure out why Fearne had disadvantage on stealth rolls and Robbie Daymond, playing his first ever game of D&D, looked at them in absolute disbelief and said "because you're a six foot tall goat lady?????"
