Review : The Other Side of Disappearing by Kate Clayborn
4.5 Stars
How does Clayborn create such heart and feeling in every book? She has the best contemporary M/F romance I’ve read and is firmly on my auto-buy author list. The way she weaves together real life situations, lovable characters, palpable chemistry and a bit of angst and steam is so good. This is also dual POV which most of her books are so you can read what the MCs are thinking, a device I’ve always loved.
This takes place around a true crime podcast investigating a famous grifter con man who tricks women into falling for him in order to do heists and steal money. Jess & Teegan’s mom was one of these women. Adam & Salem, the journalists investigating the crime, show up at their doorstep looking for interviews and the four of them end up on a road trip to find their Mom who abandoned them 10 years before. Adam & Jess develop feelings for each other and there's a wonderful detour to Adam's family farm. Part romance, part mystery, it’s really an interesting premise and a lot about loss and finding love and the responsibilities of being a Mother. And, of course, there are ALL THE FEELS™ you've come to love in a Clayborn book –I really enjoyed this one.
If you're a fan of her other books, you will love this one too.
••Thanks so much to NetGalley & Kensington Books for the ARC••

"RIP to KaiShin shippers" this
"My sincerest condolences to the KaiShin nation" that
FOOLS! You think it will stop us or prevent us from shipping KaiShin?
I won't lie, the revelation hit us badly but we will rise like the phoenix, stronger than ever, and keep shipping them and making and enjoying content about them, no matter what movie 27 revealed.
The KaiShin nation will go on!
#detective conan#dcmk#dcmk spoilers#kaishin#kudou shinichi#kaitou kid#kuroba kaito#detective conan spoilers#movie 27#I'm trying to be optimistic because honestly those spoilers are freaking me out haha#of course I think some people will stop shipping them#maybe even delete their content#I understand#I can't tell it makes me happy but I understand#I won't force these people if shipping kaishin make them feel bad#but it's important than other fans will keep shipping and making content#the kaishin side of the fandom must not disappear

two of you. always in sync
#you know what i wasnt gonna do this but i rewatched prodigal son and uh. some of the frames made me crazyyyy this time around#and i love imagery it has to be said#its like. this time around i actually Perceived them. and not watched them like. every time liv looks at el its like. she cant believe it#like she's looking at a ghost. like he's gonna disappear any second#and at the same time. she can barely look him in the eye. she looks at him when he isnt watching. lest he sees. lest he recognizes her#and what shes feeling. lest she recognizes that he still knows her and *sees* her even after all this time. and she cant have it. she wont#so she watches him and observes him like shes both memorizing him and recognizing him.especially in that interrogation room... fuck me bro#that metaphor. of her standing right between el and the suspect. up against that mirror. and we're seeing her reflection.#the present liv the captain watching like a hawk and the past liv. right behind her back in the room with el sensing him and seeing#him getting ready to pounce. like the shot of her with el's fists in the background. oh mama. she just knows “do you need a break detective#and then them being literally divided in some of those shots. by the window binds by kathy and space and actual doors#(and her sliding those doors in the first place and then watching from the other side and the cut to her again watching through the door an#OPENING IT???)#and i havent even talked about el lmao. but it's svu it's supposed to be liv centric (well) but anyway#i havent essayed in the tags in so long i forgot to tag this in the beginning oopsie daisy#svuedit#bensleredit#eo#lawandorderedit#svu#benson x stabler#*mine#*svu

The urge to delete this blog and start over by splitting personal vs smutty into separate blogs. Hmmm
#thoughts?#do you follow for one piece but not the other?#should i continue posting everything meshed together with wild abandon?#i understand why people have side blogs#it feels weird to be both strong/dommey/fantasy and real/vulnerable/personal in the same space#meh idk#might disappear into the mist again#my thoughts

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW
#thinkin too much about gortie side characters again.#sally this time and why she specifically talks about him the way she does#like dravo is obviously still shitty but to me he was. ‘just ‘neglectful#while sally actively hated and even felt terrorised by her own child#like. it’s not like i don’t understand her at all.#imagine you and your love don’t have much besides each other and your shop and you get pregnant and ready to raise a child#only for it to not be a child he didn’t and doesn’t cry ever and he learns everything so much sooner than most but then he never calls you#his parents and it’s not just a petty thing kids do sometimes you feel that he doesn’t see you as family and the worst part is that you#agree deep down#and as he gets older he doesn’t have any friends and actively rejects the notion of the entire concept#but then as time passes you hear about how he has entire groups of children following him and then several of them commit suicide#and that thing coming to sit with you and dravo at the dinner table says that he did what you did last week when the axe to chop wood broke#and you discarded it and got a new one#and he has these habits of ripping out flowers and making sure that they don’t regrow#and then you hear rumours about a friend’s daughter’s cat disappearing and think nothing of it#until you visit his tree house a month later and find a declawed cat and birds with clipped wings and crushed bugs that he keeps fondly#and then you see him with other children and they don’t know and his face is different and body language is entirely different#and were it not for the fact that you know better you would never see anything but a normal child#and you know that you are one who painstakingly brought this thing that should not be into the world and so you decide to end it all one da#and go to him as he’s asleep with the knife shaking in your hand#but he cries when you’re above him! screams at the top of his lungs!#so you beg for forgiveness even though you don’t deserve it through tears but as soon as the knife is put away you see the act drop and fee#his clever fingers having twisted your brain inside and out and you know that you can do nothing#and so the opportunity arises to at least remove him out of your life if not everyone’s lives and you take it immediately.#but you heard him talk. how he will close his fist around the world one day. and you know that it is not a matter of if but when.#like. imagine that. jesus dude.#like i hc her as someone that is messy and does not know a lot about life and she certainly wouldn’t have been a good mother but the love#or at least desire to love is there somewhere. and believing that having a child is really the only somewhat meaningful thing she can do#with her life. she’s not some hero or rich or anything of note. so there’s a lot obligation and not genuine desire for family here.#but she never really got the chance to be an actual mother in the first place so. who knows what that might have looked like

When you both are in a shitty situation and can't even get up and are waiting for someone to arrive (whoever it is, really) and one of you has cigs and other access to fire so you just. Kinda chill for a moment. Like, it's just once, it should be fine, you can forget about it later.
#rocket executive archer#island kahuna nanu#uhh do they have a shipping name I don't think they do so uhhhhhhhhh#I was hit by this image when coming back home and my evening plans jsut disappeared in a puff of smoke :(#they can in fact stop arguing but only bc they made a bet if police or rocket will arrive first#idk what happened maybe they met each other mid-infiltration wherever#I just like the image!!!!#also puppy#sorry for no kitty but I couldnt think how to put her here :< I'm sowwyyyy#watch me and my fail art#side note pokemas makes Nanu a teensy bit tinier than Archer from what I noticed#which-#hm#I'm unsure#I need to think about it lol#anyway!#cw: blood#yeah they are both in horrible shape#dont ask about timeline it makes no sense there is just me and my half-functioning neurons

tw suicide mention
this is extremely dark, but like... hear me out. what would steph even do with herself if she had ended up killing pete? she has no family to go home to, no clear aspirations... and i'm sure she doesn't even want to think about the possibility of someday getting over pete and finding someone else. i can't get the idea out of my head that she would've just... hung around long enough to see the lords in black make good on their end of the deal, and then... created a parallel to romeo & juliet, if you catch my drift.
#tw suicide#PLEASE dont reblog this without some kind of tw thank you#honestly? it's fucked up but... part of me would rather she got to be with pete on the other side than see her go home to that empty house#just devoid of any hopes or dreams#and try and find Something to cling to#the worst part is that i can't even really think of anything on her behalf#the press would probably not help either. they'd swarm her for information on her dad's disappearance#they'd make up insane rumour after insane rumour#what does she have to move on to????#hatchetfield#npmd#stephanie lauter#steph lauter#lautski#... kinda sorta. sorry#god this sucks but i cant get it out of my head now#i mean yes given enough time her grief would fade and she could find Something to work towards im sure#but how long would that take and who would even be there to help her?? grace?? she isnt gonna listen to grace for anything ever again#my real hope would be that she somehow ends up at miss retros and miss holloway can help her i guess.#i like the idea of people ending up there in times of crisis#like it's a little oasis in hatchetfield

Sorry guys but I have been inspired to do some serious napping of my own to steel me for whatever horrifying nightmare vision Lapis chooses to bless us with next. Let’s reconvene here tomorrow, same liveblog time, same liveblog place.
#honest guys#i swear#tomorrow#i really mean it#do you think your ol' summer fun buddy taz would disappear on you for months on end#forcing you to fruitlessly search the tumblr high seas for any sign of life#never#see you on the other side of some very boring dreams <3

imagine holding your f/o when they need comfort from their lover (even if they don't make it known and/or try to deny it). they feel safe in your presence and can finally let their walls down and release all of their pent-up emotions while in your embrace.
#my favorite war criminal <3 would sometimes avoid letting herself let her emotions out#half the time its because her mission takes priority and she wants to avoid distractions and the other times she denies she needs it#when she first came back to the citadel after she died and got brought back she shoved all her emotions down when she saw me again#a friend of hers convinced her to go over to me while i was watching skycars go past in the market area#she came up right next to me and said my name quietly to get my attention - all i could do was stare at her confused#she started to stumble out what happened and to tell me everything but she started talking too fast and the tears made it worse#i pulled her close to me and told her it was a story for another time while she mumbled apologies into my neck#she held on to me like i was going to disappear into thin air#during the war she just refuses to give herself a moment's rest since the galaxy is depending on her to save it#she always tells me her emotions can wait and goes off on her next important mission#unless we're all alone between missions she won't let her emotions out as they could compromise the task at hand#if those conditions are met she finally lets her emotions out while i hold her close to me for as long as i can#corporate necromancer has a hard time letting her walls down and at one point it caused an argument between the two of us#she doesn't like/want people to see the vulnerable side of her#she thinks it'll make people think less of her or make her look weaker#she slowly opens up to me and after some time she doesn't keep her walls up around me#its hard for her to admit she wants to be held while she lets her emotions out but one of the times she did was before the o4 relay mission#oops only two characters on this one since i have too many thoughts on this#f/o imagines#imagine your f/o

i genuinely dont know how tales of the abyss did what it did because ive never had a game hurt me so much with like sixteen separate character relationships. all at once.
#.text#tales of the abyss#besides the fact ive (obviously) been thinking abt jade and luke#ive also been thinking about tear and asch. and how im disappointed they only speak like once to each other#because they. are like. so insanely similar it is. surprising to me they dont meet.#but tear in general is so underused. like.#tear. she doesnt want to kill her brother but she must. he is everything to her. but she knows her duty.#she is calm and collected on the outside even as she breaks on the inside. she is a soldier. she doesnt let her emotions#dictate her actions or her words. and she is kind.#and then. like. asch. he wants to kill his replica but he knows that he cant. his emotions get the better of him to the point that#he disregards everything about luke and paints him as the enemy. for as responsible and mature he is all of that#disappears the second luke is involved-- because his emotions control him. he wants to be kind but i dont think he knows how anymore.#i dont think they would get along but there would be an understanding between them.#with tear. understanding means kindness. if she sees herself in others or understands them completely. she becomes. so kind.#its almost shocking to see that side of her one moment and the stone cold soldier the next.#its a matter of what she allows herself to be#but i think with asch she'd become the opposite. because she sees too much of herself in him - unlike luke it is not#the good things. nor is it the things they could bond about. it is the fact that asch wants to kill the only person in the world#who is not responsible for what happened to them. and probably the only person in the world who could truly understand asch.#like i know tear says she believes some things must be done. including killing family. but i dont think she truly. truly believes that.#she is in anguish over having to kill her brother. so i think her seeing asch completely disregard and even attack luke at times#when it ISNT necessary. like it is with van. she would not be kind to him.#which is like. asch is really only Neutral at times - even with luke he sometimes cant keep telling himself everything is lukes fault.#besides being defensive. i think thats really the only thing he could be around that type of tear.#like a. 'you dont know anything.' type of deal. a quiet anger. not the loud stuff he shoves at luke or van#they are fascinating to me.#how would they act in my twinswap au.................#i wonder...

*A letter is delivered to you by a staff member at the Ritz. It is addressed to both Asmodeus and Samael.*
Dearest friends,
I wanted to send a letter. I suppose to ease my own mind as well as to check in. It's been some time since we saw you, and I was worried perhaps the stress of our new problems had scared you both off. Never the less I hope you're both keeping well.
Do feel free to come by whenever you please! I understand our universe is in quite the situation at the moment, but I'm sure we'll be able to sort it out soon.
Yours truly,
- @theangel-aziraphale
*Asmodeus awakens from a four-day deep sleep, hair askew, magic eyeliner appropriately smudging itself, to accept the note.*
...What day is it? Oh, bugger. This is why I try not to sleep often - always a bloody gamble if I'll wake up in the morning for next month or in a decade.
*He writes Aziraphale a reply.*
To my dear Aziraphale,
Deepest apologies for worrying you, and for our absence; rest assured that neither of us have been frightened away! It would take a great deal more for that to happen.
I hope you all are in good health and spirits. I must pop down to see you post-haste - I'm sure there's a great many things you'd like to tell me about!
Fond regards,
Asmodeus

I wish there was a way to save Aymeric and Aurore because they're such colorful characters. I wish we could've somehow befriended/made a deal with them and got them to help us somehow. I love both of them.... maybe I just have a weak spot for siblings, but they both have so many facets that never actually see the light of day. Plus I think they would both actually get along with V pretty well. I play male V so I don't know all of Aurore's details, but Aymeric is allergic to strawberries. This never actually becomes important for the story or gameplay, but it's a tiny detail and I love those. I just want more of the Cassel twins please
#cyberpunk 2077#phantom liberty#aymeric cassel#aurore cassel#i love them#i just want v to become friends with more people ok#we don't get many side characters who get to be v's friends in pl#only really the main ones like so mi reed and alex#most of the others end up dying or disappearing from v's life as soon as their quest is done#never to be mentioned or talked to again#Idk I just think it'd be cool to save them somehow and be able to work with them#they are great characters#my v isn't necassarily against killing but he does get upset cause he kinda actually really likes them as people#but he didn't wanna tell Reed that#i will cry for what could've been#cyberpunk v
