Did I finish The Brothers Sun in one sitting? Yes.

Did it fuel my mafia life dream? Also yes.

Am I the only one that just now noticed that T1419 changed their group name so TFN? And why does this scare me? Like I genuinely thought some members left and they had to rebrand and THANKFUL, nothing like that happened but this is giving me TO1 flashbacks and I'm not ok with that, I'm not even used to the TO1 members new lineup and I honestly haven't paid attention to them since that but like, my ults favs were also Cravity, TO1, Ghost9, and T1419, and Kingdom cam along later to that list and no I feel like none of them are safe anymore except for Cravity...

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?

I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.

Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.

Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.

Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.

Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.

Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.

If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.

So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.

see my hot take on heroines in modern romance novels below the cut

authors are so concerned with showing "girl power", "a woman who don't need no man", "miss independent" that they make her incredibly boring or embarrassingly "too cool" to be in love

where is my grotesque love?

where is my obsessive love?

where is my, with both partners are gnawing to get the others clothes off, "I can't live without you and I will physically pass away if you do not fuck me right this minute"

we are programmed today to be artificially genuine and so deep, life-ruining emotions like love are flattened to the point of parody.

i want characters who are both in love so much it makes them STUPID

(been listening to an audio book and the dude has sacrificed again and again for her and at some point i was like baby, you deserve someone who will treat you right)

gloom i need to know more about uni au pleaseeeee

yes yes yes ok so i posted a ficlet a while ago about a raindrop uni au that i ended up overthinking and deleted, but then @jesusbutbetterrr asked me about it and that they couldn't find it and i had to admit that i'd burned it from existence and have been reworking it into something bigger and better

here's a little taste below the cut, if it sounds familiar than you might have saw it in the few days i had it posted on here 😇

"Hey, Dew, you down to go to the dining room?" Swiss asks as he slings his backpack over one shoulder, tossing a wink at the sister of sin he catches staring at his biceps. Which, Dew can't blame her, Swiss is pretty hot, and Dew can admit that in a totally bro way. They’ve been best friends since elementary school, pledged the same fraternity and even had their first threesome with the head of Kappa Mu. 

“Nah sorry, I got to go work on my media project for Secondo so I’m gonna head to the library. I’ll meet up with you in music theory, save me a spot yeah?” After an affirmative nod from his friend, Dew heads the opposite way down the corridor, finding the lab surprisingly empty. He sets up camp in the back corner, pulling up his document from his junk drive and starts to edit before a notification from his phone distracts him. It’s just a comment from Aether on one of their mutual friend’s Instasin pictures that Dew had also commented on. But, then he remembers Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome and gets a little curious. After a quick search of Aether’s profile bares no results, Dew pulls up the browser on his computer, opening up Ghoulbook. 

No results found of Reign

Dew curses under his breath, sure that was what the professor had called his mystery ghoul. He’d take the search to Aether’s friends, but he hadn’t accepted his friend request when he’d sent it last semester and would have to send Aether a new request before he could even start looking for Reign.

A throat clears behind him and Dew freezes, feeling the shameful blush gathering in his chest and swiftly climbing up his throat to paint his cheeks a rosy red. 

“It’s actually spelled R-A-I-N, but I see where you were going with the pronunciation." Dew would rather crawl into an actual hole in the bottom of the pit right now. Of course, this ghoul even has a sexy voice, the monotone coming across bored, but he can hear the slight amusement laced beneath it. Not one to stop when the proverbial foot is already in his mouth, Dew takes a deep breath, picking up whatever pride he has left, and turns to the Econ Incubus. 

“The spelling’s just a formality, at least I would have screamed it the right way,” And it’s so worth it, the way Rain swallows audibly, his cheeks reddening to a third of Dew’s current heated complexion. 

what if i said my genuine opinion of "rom the vacuous spider" is that she's actually not like, peaceful because she's stupid, she's just extremely fucking chill bc she's so enlightened. like she WILL defend herself but really she just wants to hide in her cool lake world and hide dark rituals

legend: are you stupid???

wild: no, i’m link

wild: oh wait we’re all link

wild: im, uh….shit. im… uhm

wild: im…..wild. yeah, i’m wild.

legend: …

wild: wait a minute you didn’t mean—

legend: i can literally feel myself getting dumber just standing by you

I can’t fucking people that in the year of our lord 2023 there are still people out there thinking that it was SANSAs fault that Lady got killed and that STILL blame her for Neds death.

My friends, did we watch the same fucking show???? Because I think the fuck not

I get to call Hidan a dumbass. You, however. . . should also call him a dumbass. Even if he actually isn't one.

Okay I was thinking and had a laugh to myself but we hear Mac say damn in the first episode and I think he deserved to drop the f bomb

Start the boat! Start the fucking boat!

First two episodes of boys planet summed up:

G group: I have five hundred degrees from the best school in my country but I left it all behind to take my shot at being an idol. I also have five different hidden talents.

K group: I'm Korean, lol

.

Me in 2020, after the emotional damage that is I-Land:

Me cursing mnet, wanting to burn cj e&m, and swearing i'll never watch another survival show EvEr AGAIN:

Me *2 weeks ago* getting the signal song performance video and fancams of boys planet in my youtube recommendations:

Me in 2023, streaming the trainees' signal song fancams, watching 95 1-min PR vids, shorts, reels, and tiktoks, adding trainees' kdramas to my to-be-watched list, watching 95 boys struggle and not know how to use a DAMN LEMON JUICER whilst unsuccessfully making non-alcoholic cocktails for 2 minutes, deep diving thru SNS profiles, and getting into GIFing bc my current # 1 pick somehow makes EATING A LEMON WEDGE LOOK SEXY:

ps. lmk if i should post the mini gif set i made for one of the boys planet trainees (KIM JI WOONG & mnet I BLAME Y'ALL FOR CONVERTING ME TO THE WORLD OF GIFing!!)

The Worst Decision That J. K. Rowling Made Within The Original Harry Potter Series

This has nothing to do with her now, or her views, or the movies, or the additional books that she wrote, this is just about the original series.

The fact that she made Ravenclaws’ mascot an eagle and not a RAVEN! Like, it’s literally right in the name, and ravens are one of if not the smartest birds. It just makes no sense to me, if she had made the mascot an owl, I would at least understand because owls are wise or whatever, but an eagle?

The other mascots all make sense, for Griffindor they probably didn’t want to have one house with a magical creature and made the mascot one half of the griffin (because the other half was taken by Ravenclaw [which honestly makes it have even less sense in my opinion]). Then they have a snake for Slytherin, probably because of the founder’s ability to talk to snakes. As for Hufflepuff, I guess they could have picked whatever they wanted to as long as it was hardworking and/or loyal, so a badger is fine.

Most Ravenclaw merchandise has a raven depicted on it, I hardly ever see eagles being mentioned as the mascot in and out of fanfics, I don’t know if Rowling remembers that she made eagles the mascot for Ravenclaw and just doesn’t care that everyone gets it wrong if if she just forgot about it along with everyone else.

Maybe we should have seen the signs about Rowling from the very beginning with her first questionable decision.
