Just to clarify: If anyone reads my books and wants to make a playlist, and you add Taylor Fucking Swift? No. She should not be in any 'this character's vibes' or 'this character would listen to' or 'ship' or 'book vibes' playlists.

She. Is. Not.

None of them would listen to her, none of them have that vibe. My book does not have "Taylor Swift vibes", and none ever will.

This episode has revealed that, yup, Jace is part of the Conspiracy of the season - but I don't think he's the mastermind behind it all. What would Jace gain from all this? His entire character is being chill. Why would he suddenly want responsibility? He intentionally teaches the subject with the least information to teach!

I don't think he's the mastermind.

I think it's Arianwen Abernant.

Ragh didn't just see Jace talking to Kalina. Arianwen was there too.

Everyone, including the Intrepid Heroes, is taking it for granted that Arianwen is still being chased around the Forest of the Nightmare King by a van with hands. But does the Forest of the Nightmare King still even exist? The forest of Sylvaire does, but Cassandra is no longer the Nightmare King. Her forest has become that soft twilit woods Kristen has visited a few times (and now contains a manticore). Even if Arianwen was meant to remain trapped in there (chased by a van with hands), Arianwen's punishment was hardly Cassandra's first priority. Getting new followers and not dying again was very much Cassandra's preoccupation. Arianwen could have escaped.

It's been a while since I watched Sophomore Year, but weren't the Abernants sent to Solace partially to separate Arianwen from her research into the Nameless Goddess? She could have learnt then that the Nameless Goddess had a forgotten wife. Anything the Bad Kids discovered could also have been discovered by Arianwen, an adult woman who didn't have the distractions of school and being a teenager taking her from her research.

What's more, wasn't Arianwen's motivation for helping the Nightmare King having him use his power for vengeance on Falinel? Falinel stripped the Abernants of their position and imprisoned Aelwyn. Arianwen cannot conceive of any of her actions being wrong. ("I was very warm and loving," she tells Adaine, the child she neglected and abandoned, without any trace of doubt. She also killed that guy to get into the Nightmare Forest, so we know she'll kill to achieve her goals, but tbh I find that less revealing than her reaction to Adaine's recounting of the abuse she's suffered.)

And now it's worse! She has no position of power, she has no magic, both her daughters turned on her, and one of those daughters punched Arianwen's husband to death. Isn't that unfair? Isn't that an injustice? Doesn't that make you angry?

If you fail to use one forgotten god in your revenge plot, you can always try again...

The High Table: A John Wick Verse. Introducing Choi Yeonjun

big fan of the john wick movies so far. first of all i'm delighted by how the whole series feels like a chance to explore the world that the writers built in the first one. second of all yes most of the movies are killing and the consequences of cruelty and the cycle of violence but more importantly than all that the movies are actually about kindness and connection and the ways that people love each other and choose to help each other again and again. and also about how much people love their fucking dogs.

If you like villains, strong female leads, queer stories, and stories about friendship, and supporting teen indie authors then please consider my novel.

Summary:

In another reality, there is a set of high schools. One for heroes, and one for villains. The Schools train kids to keep the balance of the universe, fighting in a never ending fight of good and evil. In the Kingdom of Ettessen, the Royal family is a long line of Heroes. But the youngest child, an odd one out, Adryn, has never felt drawn to the life of a hero. When she receives an invitation to Diabolic Academy for Villains, she is excited to finally find a place where she belongs. When she arrives at Diabolic, she befirends her roommate, and Villain Nepo baby, Vyolet Queen, as well as their dorm eighbors, Aurin and Johnathan. Her quick alliance with the others could be either a help or a hindrance to her, and she is excited to find out which. However, her twin brother is a hero, and in the midst of friendships, romances, and schoolwork, a hero rebellion is brewing. And Adryn is the number one suspect.

Listen, listen, do I love Suren? yes. Do I think she's any match for Jude? absolutely not. Mayhap I am blinded by my love for the murderous mortal High Queen, but I do not think even Suren's godlike power is enough to defeat her.

Cardan looks the level of drunk when you realize you've been fooling around all you're life and now you're contemplating all of your life choices XD.

Cardan : I wish i could go back in time and learn how to flirt and then instead of throwing Jude into that lake I could actually come up with an impressive pick up line or some romantic shit to make her fall for me :*
