Books I read/reread in the last 3 months of 2022 and recommend (and yes, all apart from two are queer)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also recommend to check for trigger warnings just in case, this website for books is the one I use, or you can ask!
Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
Eve Brown is 26 and still hasn't found her passion, so after an argument with her parents she drives off and finds a cute B&B that is hiring a cook, so she takes her chance, not expecting to find out new things about herself along the way
I read this book because there are autistic characters in it and I felt so fucking seen when reading this book (especially by Eve), very very good book and the dialogue is AMAZING, you will definetly laugh! Also just fyi two very explicit scenes and very graphic (all consensual and lovey dovey) but wanted to say it just in case because they use more explicit language than what I'm used to lol 9/10
All That's Left in the World by Erik J. brown
Almost a year after a flu pandemic two boys find each other and help one another on their journey to find help, and feelings might start up on the way to their destination
Started reading it because I love The Last of Us and knew this was going to be sort of that style and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it, I couldn't put it down like... I have no words... wow, one of the best stories I've read! Jamie and Andrew my beloved 10/10
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Two 15 year old boys meet in the summer of 1987 in El Paso, Texas, at the swimming pool where Dante teaches Aristotle how to swim, which marks the start of their friendship and adventures together, and maybe more...
An absolute delight to read and these two boys are just adorable (their parents are also super nice), very easy to read and keeps you wanting to know more about the story 9/10
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
Continues right where the previous story ends, we see how Ari and Dante's relationship moves forward while also touching the topic about the AIDS epidemic, internalised homophobia, family and friendship
I really liked the sequel, you get to delve deeper into Aristotle and the people around him, and the ending was just as beautiful as the first one, Aristotle and Dante must be protected at all costs 9/10
Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
Some children find a door/portal to another world which they eventually consider home, but they eventually end up back in the real world again. It might have felt like years since they left, but it's only been days for their parents/siblings who were in the real world waiting for their return, so they send them to a special school to get better (and also meet others like them who have been through the same experience)
Fantasy and mystery book (a bit of gore too because of murder), very very interesting and fast read, and if anyone deadnames Kade I will deck them 9/10
Heartstopper (volume 1-4) by Alice Oseman
A graphic novel showing the journey of young lgbtq+ teenagers showing their life through high school in the UK, the main characters are Nick and Charlie and we see them grow and fall in love
Just an amazingly adorable lgbtq+ story and beautiful illustrations, you will fall in love with the characters instantly, definetly recommend, especially for someone who might not be a "book" person since it's like a comic/graphic novel 10/10
Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins
An American girl goes to a school in Scottland for her final year in high school and gets to be roommates with a princess, what could possibly happen...
The slowest of slow-burns, enemies to friends to lovers, and roommates, what more could you ask for? Sort of a mix between Red, White and Royal Blue and Young Royals but wlw. Also Perry my chaotic beloved 7/10
I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman
Angel is a massive fan of the boy band The Ark and meets up with an internet friend to meet them and go to their concert, all the while we also see how Jimmy and his other two band mates cope with fame and fangirls
You think famous people are perfect? You put them on a pedestal? Feel possessive? Ship them together? Then read this book to learn the reality of it all and maybe you can grow tf up 8/10
Lost Christmas by David Logan
A child called Goose lives with his nan in Manchester and does petty thefts for a bit of cash, alongside his dog Mutt, but what he doesn't know is that stealing a certain jewellery will be the first domino to unravel certain events that might just change his life, and possibly a second chance
This book will break your heart and mend it in the most marvelous way, you can connect with every single main character in one way or another, the story is fascinating and the twist is just so unexpected, one of my favourite books that I read as a kid and reread now 9/10
Loveless by Alice Oseman
Georgia and her two best friends just finished high school and are going to the same university, but things start to unravel when Georgia thinks that she has wasted her teens by not having her first kiss yet at the ripe age of eighteen, but soon finds out why she has never had a crush (and wonders why society is so obsessed with sex and love)
I am Georgia and Georgia is me, I felt so seen in this book and I could understand almost all of the main characters thought process and struggles, thank you Alice for writing this book, it means the world to me 9/10
Nick & Charlie novella by Alice Oseman
Takes place about a year after the 4th volume of Heartstopper, Nick is a few months away from going to university and Charlie is worried that a long distance relationship might not be the best idea... But of course, they are Nick and Charlie, so not even that can stop them
Very quick read, angsty and spicy at the same time lol 9/10
Our Favorite Songs by Anita Kelly
Aiden and Kai haven't seen each other since high school five years ago, and running into each other in a queer karaoke bar might be just what they needed to reconnect and get to know each other
If you liked Alex and Henry from RWRB then you will love this, it's fluffy, smutty and angsty and it's just an amazing story, very fast read too and it will get you hooked from the very beginning 10/10
Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
Takes place about a year or two after Solitaire, following the life of Frances Janvier and Aled Last. They need to start thinking about their future and university options, but before anything is decided, a YouTube podcast called Universe City might be the answer they needed
Oof okay, this was darker than I thought it was going to be, had to take a few breaks because of intense scenes and personal trigger warnings, that's why I lowered the rating by a point, but just like any other Alice's books, very well written 8/10
Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
FSOTUS Alex and Prince of Wales Henry have to pretend to be friends, and in doing so actually become friends, and something more (shenanigans ensue)
One of my favourite books EVER! (If not my favourite book that I've read so far) Amazing characters, amazing writing and you feel the emotions so deeply, and Alex is a little shit (affectionate) throughout all of it 10/10
Solitaire by Alice Oseman
Takes place in the universe of Heartstopper (around volume 3-4), but this time the protagonist is Victoria "Tori" Spring, Charlie's sister. We get to see her life at school and at home, and how a blog named "Solitaire" changes everything
Much darker that Heartstopper but still an amazing story, you really just want to give Tori a hug 9/10
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
People recieve a phone call on the day they are going to die to inform them of the tragic news, two boys in their late teens recieve the call and spend the last day together, forming an unlikely friendship and something more
I'm so much like Mateo it's INSANE, also very interesting how some of the characters were connected with one another, very interesting concept and part four was my favourite, but also get your tissues ready because you will CRY 8/10
This Winter by Alice Oseman
Takes place about 1-2 weeks before Solitaire, during Christmas day. Written in Tori, Charlie and Oliver's POV
Very quick read, and you get to know the extended Spring family a bit more, also Nick's family a bit 9/10
Volverán a por mí by Josan Hatero & Use Lahoz
"Disobedient" teenagers are sent to an academy in scotland over the summer so that they learn how to be good and disciplined, meanwhile three strangers become friends and find out what really happens in that grey mansion and try to escape
This book is in spanish, I read it for the first time when I was in high school (like 10 years ago when it first came out lol) and instantly fell in love with it, it has the same vibes as Every Heart a Doorway but more dramatic, very cool and easy to read 9/10

Misfits and Misinformation Story Introduction
All Carmine’s life he had been taught that outsiders weren’t to be trusted. His older brother had done his best to bring him up following the deaths of their parents, had tried to instil caution and morals into him with a dash of dislike towards the school that lay in the shadows beyond town. But sometimes mysteries just simply can’t be ignored, and Car was never going to leave a forbidden place alone; no matter how good his brother’s intentions might have been for advising caution about the students and the mysteries that surrounded them.
Talia had known that the grass wasn’t always greener on the other side. For as long as she could remember, people had warned her that getting involved with people who didn’t understand those around her was dangerous. They were bigoted and small-minded; they viewed her kind as something from a nightmare. Something to be feared and destroyed because of that terror. But Talia could never ignore her curiosity – it was almost as difficult as trying to temper her hunger for blood – so what could possibly go wrong when she heads into town and meets one Carmine Bishop?

eddie munson x Filipina!oc
part ii || part iii
Talia Evangelista was the perfect girl, the golden child of her family, the Sweetheart of Hawkins High; living the sweet life as top of her class and excellent social life with her numerous friend groups. She was a star, burning brighter and brighter towards an even brighter future. But every star eventually burns out. What happens when she finally drops from the exhaustion, spiraling from all the pressure riding on her shoulders? And What more when you throw in the metalhead dungeon master of the Hellfire club into the mix? 
face claim (artbreeder ily)
A/N: i’ve literally been so obsessed w eddie munson u have no idea,, so i made an oc for stranger things as one does when they fall for a fictional character,, also i’ll be posting more of these bc nothing inspires me more than dorks i could fall in love with !! also eddie might be a little ooc, still feeling out his character lol.
TW: none, though her family story is deeply rooted in her country’s history, the Philippines, mentioning the disappearances of reporters and journalists who criticized the government’s corruption during the Marcos Regime, specifically when Martial Law was declared.
Talia Evangelista was a lot of things.
She was top of her class, top of the school. And on top of that, she was a champion figure skater, having ballet classes to help with her choreography, an accomplished musician, and a black belt in taekwondo, she was nothing short of a go getter and overachiever.
Despite all her extracurricular activities, she was outgoing and bubbly, friendly to any and all who approached her, naturally attracted to her sunshine-y persona. She was in multiple friend groups due to her various extracurriculars, from those she discussed with as captain of the debate team, to fellow ice skaters and ballerinas, the band mates she had made comrades with, to some of the smiley, preppy cheerleaders, to even some of the regular party goers and throw-ers in the school. She helped them with their homework, even slipping some of the lazier students cheat sheets, she was seen as harmless, her kind aura naturally made people want to open up to her about their problems, and of course she was always there for them when they needed it! With all her compassion, wit, and friendliness, she was nicknamed ‘The Sweetheart of Hawkins High’.
She had a good reputation, yet another gold star for her ever growing collection of awards.
She was the perfect girl, with a perfect track record and a bright personality to match.
Of course she was perfect. That was what she had to be. What she could only be, in the eyes of her aunt, lest she be worth anything less. Otherwise, she would be tormented, both at home and at school.
In spite of her seeming perfection, Talia loathed herself. She hated how she could never fully, truly, be 100% herself. Sure, she was sweet and charming, but no one wanted a girl who kept talking about her problems, her aunt had snapped at her once; and it was too bad that Talia seemed to have many, keeping each and every shard of her broken heart inside of her.
Any of the people in her life had to be approved by her aunt, everything about herself had to be scanned and approved by her. What she wore, who she talked to, whatever she did, was always closely monitored by her aunt. She didn't have an identity, nothing real anyway. She was always what ever other people wanted her to be, her personality changing around others like a chameleon changing its colors to suit its environment. Introverted with the introverted, extroverted with the extroverted, go along to get along. Sometimes she wondered if she truly knew who she was. Besides this identity crisis, Talia had a crippling case of an inferiority complex, constantly being berated by her aunt whenever she didn't achieve what she wanted her to achieve. Her insecurities ran deep, carefully hidden behind all her medals and honorary certificates. She constantly felt the need to prove herself, to compete, just for her to feel some shred of self worth and temporary happiness.
If Talia had the power to do anything on this earth it would be to reunite with her father.
Joselito Evangelista was a reporter, already one of the most dangerous jobs in the Philippines, even more dangerous now upon the start of the Marcos Regime. Borderline obsessed with his work in order to reveal the truth to the eyes of the people, his fixation on his work only put him into more danger as he was heavily invested in exposing the corruption of their government. This ultimately led him to being "sent away" on a particular "job". But Talia's family knew better.
The sudden disappearances of numerous reporters, the closure of radio stations and newspapers that held any content of criticizing the present government ran rampant across the country. They knew Joselito would be one of them.
Talia, his youngest child and the only girl of the family, a true daddy's girl, was utterly devastated upon realizing what had happened.
And so they were entrusted to their father's younger sister, Auntie Isabela, who took them to the United States of America, not to live the American dream, but to escape the nightmare that was in the Philippines.
The family had done so in order to ensure the children's safety lest they be targeted or used for ransom. And, having no mother to care for them, Auntie Isabela had become their legal guardian and ward.
Auntie Isabela was nothing short of a warden.
A's had to be straight, medals had to be gold, ribbons had to be blue, there was never any room to be second place.
"Second place is first place for those who lose." Her aunt sneered at the thought of her niece getting anything silver or bronze as an award.
Not only that, but Talia needed to have a good social life, told to make connections along the way to ensure her future, her family's future. With Gael, her eldest brother being in the military, Joaquin, her second brother following in the footsteps of his father to become a journalist, Andres, the middle child, having gone to veterinary school instead of pursuing his Auntie's wishes for him to become a lawyer, and Danilo having to temporarily drop out of college, she was their only hope of a better life, as her Auntie Isabela always reminded her.
Talia was never allowed to settle. Why would you settle when you could always have more, be more? Her Aunt said condescendingly. Talia was an Evangelista for God's sake, an old rich family in back in the Philippines, she could only be the best to have the best.
Her family was complicated.
Her father was the black sheep of the family, having been basically disowned by his parents for following a career path far different to what they had set before him, that, piled unto the fact he was forced to become a single father while his wife left him, made things worse for his standing in the family and how they viewed him. Talia's branch of the family had always been branded as the "poor" ones, kawawa, as her relatives would say. They didn't have the luxury of growing up with her grandparent's money, they didn't stay in their ancestral home nor were they raised there, unlike her cousins. Their house was simple compared to the vast, elaborately decorated homes of her other aunts and uncles, sometimes they had struggled to pay the bills and groceries while her other relatives dined like kings and queens without a care in the world.
"Do you really want your family to stay poor? I did my brother a favor by taking you here and this is how you repay me? You go retake that test and give me an A unless you want to be living in squalor all your life. You're in the last year of your high school, the deal was that I would take care of you and your brothers until you turn 19. How long do you think you can stand being without my money? So stop crying! Do your work, study harder until you memorize the entire textbook. You're not having dinner unless you do that!"
But Talia never saw her family as poor. Sure, there were hard days, their house was small and there were times when the electricity took a few weeks to come back, but those days living there were the happiest days of her life. While they had been having troubles budgeting enough money in order for all of them to eat, Tala never had a day where she would go hungry. Her brothers and father ensured that she was well fed. "So you'll grow up big and strong!" Her father would cry with a wide smile and a crinkle in his eyes whenever he would give Talia the bigger half of whatever it was they were eating.
She may not have went to school with the newest designer bag nor had all the branded clothes snooty rich kids had, but she remembered how her father would always come home with pasalubong, homecoming gifts from his work trips to give to her and her siblings. She remembers the times when he'd come home from work, tired, but still with a smile on his face as he handed her the prettiest dress she had ever seen. Since then, she had worn it to mass almost every week, in shiny shoes her oldest brother polished himself, and the charm bracelet left by her mother.
She never had the best toys either, but who needed toys when you had a tin can and slippers? She would always come home excitedly after school as she would always call her brothers and neighborhood friends to play tumbang preso with her, throwing slippers at a can until it fell and they had to run from being tagged as the next it. She didn't need any Barbie doll or action figure when she had the spinning tops her brothers would trade their other toys for to the other kids, knowing it was her favorite to play with.
When her brothers were in high school, sometimes Gael would go to the school supply shop near their house in order to fetch her new crayons or colored pencils and paper for her to draw on. Instead of singing songs to pretty girls  like the other high school guitar playing boys did, Joaquin took his time in order to teach Talia how to play after begging him to teach her. Occasionally, Andres would use part of his cigarette money to buy Talia her favorite candies from the store a few blocks down. Danilo, meanwhile, learned how to sew in order to help patch up or embellish Talia's clothes.
Looking back, Talia never felt any lack in her life when it came to material things. "Your wish is my command." Her father would say whenever she excitedly opened whatever pasalubong he had brought home that day.
She and her family were tight-knit, thick as thieves. Her brothers, being her older brothers, were always protective of her, always made sure she was doing okay even though they weren't too okay themselves, and Talia is forever grateful for that.
Imagine the heaviness in her heart when they were forced to go their separate ways, leaving her with the aunt they disdained.
Gael, in service moving from place to place depending on where he was stationed. Joaquin on the East coast, Andres in the west, and Danilo on a long trip to Mexico.
Where have the days gone?
What goes up, must come down. That was Talia's rule in life. No expectations no problem, so long as she was the epitome of perfection, nothing and no one could ever stand in her way.
Until she had caught herself spiraling.
It started out like it typically did, sudden migraines while studying, complete lack of motivation, and the questioning of her life and list of priorities.
She had convinced herself she was just putting on too much pressure on herself, letting her aunts harsh words get to her, and all she needed to do to relive her of her stress was to relax.
And she knew a quick and easy way to do so.
It was no secret that some of her brothers had smoked it, Andres had been a smoker since high school, and her other brother Danilo had his fair share of being laced at parties. But of course, picture perfect, precious little Talia would never touch those sort of thing!
She silences the doubts in her mind, things change. Maybe she wasn’t the picture perfect Talia she was made out to be.
Desperate for some sort of relief, Talia had managed to ask around for dealers in the area, and eventually a name made their way in hushed whispers out from their lips: Eddie Munson.
He had since been labeled by the popular kids as a "freak", bullied and made to be the butt of every joke by his peers for being different and non conforming. Talia couldn't help but envy him, or admire him in a way, with his carefree demeanor and somewhat  unconventional ways of expression. He only hung out with people he truly liked, and liked him just as much. He didn’t hide under any false pretenses, he was wholly and truly himself.
 While he had an eccentric reputation, Talia's little interactions with him were short and pleasant. Picking up her pencil when she dropped it on accident in class, letting her pass first whenever she walked into a room like a gentleman. Talia liked him, well, she liked everybody, she had always found it hard to hate anyone to the point where she would go out of her own way to make them feel bad. 
She was observant, curiosity was simply imbedded in her nature, and she was most definitely curious about this Eddie kid.
So, during one of their classes together, on the rare occasion he went to class, she passed him a note, saying that she'd like to meet up with him after class, on the benches near the track field. He gave her a knowing look and nodded.
At the sound of the bell, signaling lunchtime, she headed for the spot she had asked to meet at.
Talia sat, twiddling with her fingers as she looked around, waiting. It was a fine autumn day, the sun was high in the sky, but the crisp weather of autumn made it cool, refreshing. For a minute, Talia closed her eyes to listen to the trees sway to the wind passing by, to the chirp of birdsong; and it was as if she was transported back home, in the spring pools near Mount Makiling where her father used to take them to every summer.
Her thoughts of home were disrupted at the sound of shuffling leaves and footsteps. She opened her eyes to behold a boy with wild, curly hair and big brown eyes, his shirt embellished with a demon design and the words "Hellfire Club" embellished on the front.
She smiled at him, unsure at first what the courtesies even were for a drug deal. "Hi."
He smiled back, dropping his metal lunchbox onto the table before taking his seat. "Hi."
Talia played with the hem of skirt, still unsure as she avoided eye contact with him. "So um, how does this work?"
“Well, first of all, I accept cash only payments, no receipts or anything, for obvious reasons and uh--”
Talia could only nod, finding it hard to focus on his words, the sound of her heart beating in her ears made it hard to listen.
Noticing that she was spaced out, Eddie waved a hand in front of her face, effectively snapping Talia out of her trance.
“You know, we don’t have to continue this if you don’t want to--“
“No, no, I’m, uh, sorry, I’m just-- I’m a little nervous.” She wipes her sweaty palms on her skirt.
Eddie chuckles. "Hey, you don't have to be all nervous with me, I should be the one all sweaty and stuttering, with one of the most popular girls at school sitting right in front of me."
She lets out a small laugh, shaking her head, her initial tension dissipates.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't consider myself that."
"You wouldn't? You're liked by practically the entire school, faculty included." He points at her, pursing his lips.
She laughs, again, but a heavy feeling settles in her stomach. "I don't know if I'm even half of what anyone thinks I am." What was she doing, confiding in someone who was basically a complete stranger? Talia had no idea why those words tumbled out of her mouth, berating herself inside her head. Great, now he thinks you’re weird or like, fishing for compliments.
"I mean, to me you definitely are," he stands up, his hands behind his back as he paces around the table, her eyes can't help but follow him. "Let's see, the great Talia Evangelista, top of the school, star figure skater, and musician prodigy, the sweetheart of Hawkins High." He turns, now beside her. "Checks all the boxes for me, Ms. Perfect."
She rolls her eyes playfully. "You forgot black belt taekwondo student."
Eddie frowns then takes a bow. "My apologies, well accomplished madam."
Talia laughs again. "Yeah but seriously, people only like me for what I can give them, study notes, cheat sheets, gossip, whatever other petty high school thing there is."
Eddie lifts the lid of his lunchbox, revealing the goods Talia had come for. "Well, Madam Evangelista, it seems you and I have more in common than one may think."
She shuffled in her seat. Was she being rude? Randomly asking someone for weed without getting to know them first? Is there even any sort of etiquette when dealing drugs? Suddenly she felt guilt creep up her throat. She swallowed, no, he's right. That's just how the world works, right? You give something, you get something. Still Talia couldn’t help but try and swallow the guilt that had begun to crawl up her throat. 
"So, I can charge you around 25 for this much—?" Eddie's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Um, well, uh, I'm actually kind of new to all this." She muttered.
"Really? I mean, I guess that's expected, straight as an arrow, just like her A's." Eddie joked, but all Talia could do was smile.
"You know, we really don't have to continue this if you don't want to." He says, sensing her hesitation.
"No, no, it's just that..would you maybe mind showing me the ropes?"
Eddie let out a breath. "I mean, I don't usually do this but uh, yeah, sure."
"I'll make sure to pay you for whatever we smoke, or huff maybe? I don't know how this works." She hides her face in her hands, a habit she did when she was embarrassed.
"Hey, hey, it's okay," He reassured her. "No need, try before you buy, am I right?" He chuckles, again. He absolutely had no idea why he was saying that, usually he only took his payment, gave them weed, and left. But this was Talia, sweet, kind Talia who somehow kept her humanity despite having friends from the popular crowd. Hell, everyone liked her, it was only natural to be attracted to her overwhelming positivity.
"So do I like, need your address or something?" She muttered.
"I mean, I can give it to you, unless you'd like to take a ride on my mighty steed." He joked. She knew he was joking, but Talia couldn't help but be completely entranced by this boy, curious of him.
"I'd like to take you up on that offer, actually," She replies, pulling up her cardigan's sleeves. "About the ride to your place, I mean."
Eddie blinks. Wait, was she actually serious?
"Uhhh really? You'd risk being seen with me?" He points towards his chest.
Talia furrowed her eyebrows. "Why would that be a problem?" She shrugged.
"Well, it may be part of the fact that you're up here—" he lifts his hand up above his head. "—on the social pyramid and well, I'm down here," he lowers his hand up until his torso.
It was her turn to chuckle. Time to throw all caution into the wind. "Who cares if we're seen together? I sure don't, and if anyone does it's their problem, not mine." Talia was tired of pretending, tired of being ‘perfect’, of being someone she wasn't. Fuck anyone to hell now, all she needed was free reign over her life and this would mark the start of that.
"Okay then," Eddie says, tone pleasantly surprised. "I'll uh, pick you up after class?"
Talia picks up her back pack. "We can go now if you want." She smiles, doe eyes shining.
"You're okay with missing classes?" Eddie tilts his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Yeah." She nods, shrugging nonchalantly, doing her best to ignore the pulsating of her heart at the thought of her aunt finding out about this. Oh who cares, Evangelista? Auntie Isabela is out for the week, what could go wrong?
"Alright then, well, I'll lead the way." Eddie smiles, motioning her to follow him.
Talia hesitated, biting her lip before jogging towards him in order to catch up to his speed, pushing any and every doubt or feelings of hesitation to the back of her head.
Fuck it.

9, 13 and 15 from the Salty Comic Ask meme?
Salty Comic Ask Meme - link
9. What’s the worst plotline you’ve read?
Off the top of my head, A Death in the Family. It’s racist, poorly-written garbage.
13. What’s the worst character assassination you’ve seen happen?
Three-way tie between Heaven’s On Fire, House of M, and Age of Khonshu. Danny’s character hasn’t recovered or had a stable status quo for over a decade, Wanda’s only now escaping House of M’s shadow, and the less said about Age of Khonshu, the better. Two of these are even by the same person! Who’s still writing for Marvel!
Dishonorable mention to what’s been happening to Orion. He’s practically been written out of his own story! Most people I’ve met consider Darkseid a Superman rogue, and don’t even know who Orion is. The few people I’ve met besides Fourth World fans who know of Orion only know him from King’s atrocity of a run. Also, Ragman (2017) and Morrison’s Talia, but I try to forget those exist!
15. Tell me about a plotline that could have been interesting if anyone else wrote it.
Sandy’s modern era arc in Geoff Johns’ JSA. For those who don’t know, Sandy Hawkins was the sidekick of the Golden Age Sandman, and essentially his adopted son. Wes Dodds, said Sandman, had prophetic nightmares all his life, and used the information he got from them to prevent crimes.
An experiment of Wes’ gone wrong turned Sandy into a sand monster. Wes kept him in suspended animation, and worked to cure him for forty years. When Sandy was finally saved, he hadn’t aged a day, and he told Wes that he remembered nothing from his time in suspended animation.
The thing is?
He lied.
He was aware those forty long years, watching the world pass him by. Trapped as a monster.
By the time we get to the modern era, Wes dies. His nightmares were passed on to Sandy, and his death left Sandy without any family in this time.
The cure was incomplete as well, and he was left with the ability to turn into sand, travel through the earth, and a sensitivity to seismic activity. There’s a particularly heartbreaking scene where he unexpectedly dissolves in front of everyone, and has no idea what’s happening until he’s slipped into the earth.
He’s got to lead the JSA in a time period he’s not from, all while coping with the grief of losing his parents, and inheriting his father’s nightmares.
Unfortunately, the modern era of his story happened in the book Geoff Johns’ JSA. The characters are practically cardboard cutouts, and there’s no emotional weight behind anything, because the story is never given any room to breathe. If you don’t have any prior context for who Sandy is, you can’t care about him, because there are barely any proper introductions to anyone and the plot just keeps happening when there should be quiet moments to get to know characters.

hello hello! what’s your favorite scene from each st season?
hi talia!
i have. SO many. but obviously i'm gonna narrow it down to like 1-3ish. we'll see as i go lmao
season one -- first of all, the first d&d scene with the party is absolutely precious. they're so little in it and they're all together and bonding and stuff.. ugh :( and while we're talking about the original party- the scene where they all go and see will after he wakes up is SO good. fucking ADORABLE. especially when they talk about el and they tell will her name and all he has to say about this girl with superpowers is "like the number??" dear god. i love them.
i have way more i could talk about (most of the jancy stuff, el's scenes with benny, etc, etc) but this post is already going to be super long so i'll just move on lmao
season two -- every time i watch "crazy together" i go a little more insane. season two byler is SO GOOD. i could put any and all of their scenes in this but we would be here forever. i also love the jancy kiss scene. the tension and the pining and buildup and the fact they got murrayed is so!! aghhhh!!! and then, of course, the dumb little platonic madwheeler argument scene they have while looking for dart. they're besties they just don't know it yet. OH AND THE LUMAX BUS SCENE.
season three -- the rain fight, first of all. it's heartbreaking, but it's super effective. and then, of course, "is it early, michael? >:(" love the byler old married couple bickering in this season. it's such a joy to witness. OH THE MATERIAL GIRL SEQUENCE ALSO!! ELMAX!! <3 i will admit i still get chills from the "we'll meet again" scene. hooh. creepy and very very very cool. and all the stuff with alexei is so fun. i miss him. :(
season four -- where do i even start??? all of rink-o-mania is chaos dynamic-wise and i'm! obsessed with it! all of the sequences that are set to music in this season are spectacular! will's painting scene makes me go insane every. time. same thing with "it's hawkins. it's not the same without you." GOD. UGH. the stuff with robin and nancy is so fun and i really appreciate what it's doing for nancy's arc.. the lumax movie date thing.. EL AND HOPPER'S REUNION.. AHH
okay that's all for now i think
thank you for the ask!!
