absolutely HATE when a book has an interesting title and concept, enough that it compels me to read it, only for the story to not live up to my expectations and be just an okay book and then be disappointed that I wasted my time reading

demon muriel <3 (somewhat inspired by @underlined-in-spirit’s art, which was inspired by @phoen1xr0se’s fic!)

The new companion is named Ruby. -> There is a River Song novel called “The Ruby’s Curse”.

The series seems to blur the lines between fiction and reality. -> In the novel “The Ruby’s Curse” the lines between fiction and reality are blurred.

this line is the only thing that matters to me in this update thank you and goodbye

i miss em too grim 😔

arthur from the house in the cerulean sea and aziraphale from good omens. same character different font. do we see the vision.

Never seen a homoerotic rivalry I wouldn’t ship.

somebody rec me some good books. and they do actually have to be good. don’t rec me something just because it’s gay or it’s popular, it has to also still be good. like both the story and the writing have to be good none of this good concept bad writing or good writing horrible story. fantasy or soft scifi preferred, especially if it’s nontraditional fantasy. I am bored and sick of the internet and I want to get back into reading more but I’m kinda meh about most of what’s on my shelf

*edit: when I say “soft scifi” I don’t mean cozy I mean not hard scifi, as in stories that are more fantastical than grounded in hard science. for example the Martian is considered hard scifi, so not that. Star Wars would be closer to a soft scifi bc it’s all bullshit on the science end and it’s more about the vibes

thinking about how harrow insisted that she can only share the ninth house’s secret with gideon if they are submerged in salt water. thinking about nona’s love of the ocean and about alecto being called a ‘saltwater creature’ on two (??) different occasions. also thinking about alecto’s favor to anastasia and the irony of the saltwater pool tradition being passed down through so many generations- but only on the ninth and with no real concept of where it started…

this has got to be the best series i have ever read.

The Locked Tomb Series (art credit: Tommy Arnold)

like it is SO good, when i first heard of it i was expecting something much different. not bad by any means, but not half as good. the writing is so creative and sharp but incredibly well thought and profound at the same time. Cannot wait for the fourth book.

(THE ART IS FUCKING GORGEOUS TOO! the cover for the second book is the reason i bought the first, little did i know i was in for the best series of my life.)

nooo im not emotionally invested in cass’ stage bc of the cat death nooo what are you talking about

but yes i did slightly redesign the cat bc as it is in game is ugly as hell and no cat is normally ugly as hell. they went out of their way to make that cat ugly as hell

kara is so gorgeous in supergirl: woman of tomorrow…

Me after reading every one of Alice Oseman’s books: Oh my god, I have never related to a set of book characters so much

i’m a sucker for a sad twink in any piece of media you give me. i am behind all of his actions and decisions 100%, no questions asked. sir, that’s my emotional support wisp of depression that vaguely resembles a young man. your honor, i love him.

The Children of Time series is so funny it’s just autistic scientist terraformers trying to make their special interest animal sentient to varying degrees of success

“found out there’s age gap discourse in the All Quiet on the Western Front fandom” is really not a sentence I ever thought I’d be saying in this lifetime but
