I haven't seen anyone say how funny it was when Sally asked why her son wasn't allowed admission at the school anymore, the principal led with:
"He drew a very concerning picture...a horse. WITH WINGS."
And not:
"He found himself up on the roof of his old school, and we just can't take on the risk of having him if he does stuff like that."
That man was first and foremost concerned about a child's imagination over him being on the roof of a building 😭 Like, how dare he draw a horse with wings, what a little devil he is.
What do you think he says to a kid who drew a unicorn in class? "A horse?!? With a KNIFE IN IT'S HEAD?!? YOU SICKO!!!"

Also please support the victims of what Cait did to them and check out their books that are out or are coming out please
((I’m already trying to check out a few myself and have pre ordered to gaze upon wicked gods book so when it arrives in Australia 🇦🇺 I’ll be able to read it and give it a more honest review at least that at least what the victims who written these books deserve))
the fact that will and tessa's son is called james herondale after "jem" james carstairs and jem and tessa named their daughter mina, short for "WILhelmina" and gave her a middle chinese name "yiqiang" which means remember. so her name is basically REMEMBER WILL
jem and will loved each other so much they were even more than parabatais <3
Oh boy. This whole Booktok vs Seattle Kraken/hockey has me reeling.
Gonna rant on here.
Usually, I don’t comment on these kind of things bc it’s wtv, but the gall, the GUMPTION, of some people to come after Felicia Wennberg.
She POLITELY asked people to stop sexually harassing her husband and other players. She said that, while she doesn’t particularly enjoy it, she knows people will thirst for her husband bc he’s hot. BUT, she draws the line at making him (and her + other players & their families) feel uncomfortable by posting sexual comments on his social media posts and catcalling him AND theorizing he cheats on her bc of his new found fame.
It has nothing to do with race, gender, a certain creator’s “fame”, or (and some grown ass adult actually commented this) “wanting to feel like the main character in [Wennberg’s] life”.
News flash, bozo. She IS the main character in his life. She’s his fucking wife and the mother of his children.
You have to be on a whole other level of delusional to think he would ever leave his wife for a rando on tik tok.
(lowkey feel like kate and tyler marrying fuelled the delu-lus. It was fkn unhinged before, but i feel like it’s gotten worse. Idk if people are ready to have that conversation tho.)
If you’ve become a fan of hockey through booktok, fine. Good. Welcome. Im not one for gatekeeping. But people mustn’t forget that players are real people with lives and families. If you wanna thirst, by all means go ahead, but do so respectfully. Asking someone to f*** all your h**** on their fkn IG is not the way to go.
Finding a new book\book series is like will you be temporary or will you be one of my many obsessions and part of my personality for the next five years( this also includes fandoms and or characters)
I am so ashamed of people reading my stuff.. this book.. that I worked hard on.. please Look Away... this isn't Meant For You. but also. Please read.... please.. but Don't.
I love the way they've changed Luke's character in the show.
SPOILER for if you want to read the book, but Luke originally poisons Percy with a pit scorpion when he won't join him and fully intended to leave him for dead.
In the book, he's out for blood, and it's easy to hate him when he hurts people whenever they're in the way. But here, he's just a kid thinking he's doing the right thing and is saving those he cares about from more suffering at the hands of the gods. He doesn't want to hurt Percy and even seems to regret it before he runs off.
I think it's easier to sympathize with him this way, and his character won't be chalked up to simply "evil." The thing is, Luke isn't wrong about the gods. He isn't wrong to feel that way about them. But the way he goes about changing things IS wrong, and I think this change will help people remember that as the show goes on.
With this change, though, I can see him slowly devolving over the next 4 seasons. He'll have good intentions at first, but eventually, he won't care about anything as long as the gods pay. And he won't realize just how far gone he is until it's too late.
dec 20, 2022 - hello lovelies! if ur still around or haven’t forgotten about me, u have a special place in my heart <3 the last time i posted on here was in january?! this long posting hiatus was due to a steep increase in workload and some exciting but tumultuous life changes. some academic highlights of my year:
(1) i completed my six month full time field study internship earlier this month, and the whole experience was one of growth, self reflection, and affirmation of my passions. (2) i am 3 months away from completing both of my BA degrees, and 6 months away from commencement— how is college already almost over?! (3) i started reading for fun again! i might start posting more book recs so let me know if that’s something u’d like. (4) and finally, i applied and got into the University of California Washington Program (UCDC). i fly out to D.C. in march and i’ll live + work there until june, right before i graduate.
if u made it to the end of this post u get a kiss on the forehead! i appreciate anyone who’s stuck around with me for this long— when i started this blog i was still hoping to get into uc santa cruz, and now i’m 6 months away from graduating (with honors) from my dream school. here’s to another year of growth, and appreciating all that we’re capable of 🪴
Can’t believe im about to make another fkn rant post about this.
Since Felicia Wennberg released her first statement against “fans” sexualizing and fetishizing her husband, she has gotten hate on every platform and people have taken to commenting on her IG posts about her family and calling her names.
Alex Wennberg, her husband, has come out in her defence and talked about how hockey culture and his PR training basically dictates that he should shut up and take it. He states that he feels uncomfortable and, in response to that, people think it appropriate to comment on his posts about how his wife can’t “take a joke”?
1- sexual harassment is NOT a joke. A joke is when we all laugh at smth together. Who’s laughing? The Wennbergs sure as hell aren’t.
2- people are saying “you could’ve reached out to x person to set boundaries”.
They shouldn’t have to.
People should understand that there is a line between playful banter/thirsting and sexual harassment. This is 2023, people should know that this shit is unacceptable. Have we learned nothing as a society?
3- now that they have spoken out against this, as Felicia mentions in her SECOND statement, them saying they feel uncomfortable should be enough for people. The fact is, Felicia’s 1st statement should’ve been enough. Alex reiterating his wife’s words and supporting her SHOULD’VE BEEN ENOUGH. It never should’ve gotten to the point where she needed to make a second statement.
They don’t need to justify themselves to anyone. They don’t owe us anything. Alex does his job and we love and appreciate him for it, but that doesn’t entitle us to explanations and justifications.
I read Felicia’s second statement and that one jersey example she gave… i cant even bare to repeat it. It’s disgusting and, personally, i wouldn’t take that shit either. What the hell is wrong with y’all?
As for those threatening to leave, hockey wont die bc it loses your delusional asses. There are still real fans around. The Seattle Kraken’s 2022-2023 season was one of the most successful seasons in the league. They don’t need y’all to keep on going. So, by all means, gtfo.
Okay I need genuine input because those bitches on book tok are fucking liars💀 so. To anyone who’s read Haunting Adeline: is it actually as spicy as everyone says it is? Like is the smut graphic as hell? Or is there some light sexual tension and those prudes are telling everyone it’s the dirtiest fucking shit on the planet skdjdk. Because I do not want to waste my fucking time if it’s the latter
Edit: if there’s non con themes… is it cnc? Or is it straight up rape… because book tok girlies do not know the fucking difference
