Things we never got over -⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's really gold. I loved it, but after reading some comments, I realized that the book really has some bih flaws, so icant to give it 5 stars, but 4 will do. Btw I loved the sex scenes. - GOODREADS

Esentialy the book was good and i did like it but i is very misogynistic and gives of asshole vibes. I didnt realise that the book is so much dipped into misoginy till i went trough the comments on GR. That really gave me an ick so i took 1 star away.

Behind the net - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh wow this book was really good like my God. Big recomend. The sex scenes were really hot. I know its a hockey romance but i found it recomended as a smut book and trust me it delivered. NGL i was really surprised when they had a scene where he while he was eating her out started playing with her ass and then led up to her butthole and asked her if her ex ever did this, she said no and then he asked her if he could do it and her going PLEASE. Digga was?! I was genuenly like no way were getting anal at the end of the book, but no we didnt he just played a bit with the nerves and she came for like the 3rd time that day. What to say folks, what to say. Anyway im looking forward to reading the orher books, solid 10/10. I ahv nothuing to complai about, i was getting to the end of the book and i knew sooner or later there needed to be some kind of twist that would make them break up and then get back toether but surprise surprise - nothing. Which btw was very refreshing! Every time i read a book theres somekind of scene where something lifechanging happens that the lovebirds have to break up or go on a break but here , nope all is good, theyre a strong good couple and no issues or problems between them. Really refreshing. - GR

The Cock on the block - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was just amazing i mean from the story to the characters. Ive really enyojed this one. Its a friends to lovers , he falls first, football, fake daring romance and its just wowza. The sexscenes were bomb. The representation of big girls deserve love too was good, not great, at times i found it a bit cringey but it didnt stop me from rating it 5/5. The titrl had me laughing and i didnt think it was going to be better that just that but honestly the book is a must read.

She was made for me - ⭐

God was this bad. I picked this book up cause 1. It was on kindle unlimited so I didn't have to pay for it, 2. The description of the book was intriguing, not the title ( the title is misogynistic and something coming from wattpad) , age gap, fathers friend . I really thought and was hopping that the book would end with them going separate ways but no NO ! FFS THEY SATH TOGETHER IN THIS DISGUSTING RELATIONSHIPS! HE COULD BE HER FATHER. 20 YEARS AGE GAP. I thought it was gonna be like 10 at most cause her dad is a lawyer so maybe a lawyer friend , I was right and wrong , ex lawyer friend and gap 20 years. Ugh. The amounts of times I've gagged while reading this , the word sweetheart has officially landed on my black list and my husband isn't alowed to call me that till I forget this book exists. 🙃 Just some quotes that had me gagg are : -You take me so well. -You were made for me . -How can I become a good girl again. -Sweetheart -Best friends daughter -my seed driving down her thighs -she's clenching her thighs so my seed doesn't dripp out - (puts a finger in her ass ) you like that I swear all of these are 100x worse when the fact that he's 20 years older than her hits your head. How disgusting can it be. And the fact that he's convinced that it wasn't him who initiated all this but actually she forced him to have sex with her is delulu to its fullest. How delulu can you be to even think you resisted her but she kept pushing and you had to fuck her. All she did was go on a date with a guy and said she's go on a second one as well and you deciding no you won't and I won't let you and then fucking her ... not her fault. Yes she did want it but talk about DADY ISSUES MUCH . You can't tell me that in the 43 years that you've been alive you never heard of Daddy issues, you could have smelled them a mile away , even if she had been 30 when u met and thought she's 30 and not 24 , that woman would still have daddy issues . How delulu can one be. And her being desperate for that dick is comical, first man who shows interest in you in a long time and you jump on that train like there's no other connection. The only person with a smudge of a brain cell was her dad when he put 2 and 2 together , cursed Kyle out saying she's my baby girl, she's 20 years younger than you , how could you , etc. I swear the yurika I felt when I read that was HUGE, cause finally someone in this God damn book is saying that it's disgusting 🫣 and awful to be hearing that your best friend of so many years has fucked your daughter in the house that you own while he was on the job that you gave him. And all that goes for nothing cause the dad losses his final brain cell as well and 1 month later is ok with everything and even APOLOGISED to the man who fucked your daughter because it wasn't right. I swear all of the ppl in this book are extremely delulu. All of em. I swear I'm never picking up a book writen by who ever wrote this , I don't even wanna know what person could have written this and went yeah that's good , I'm proud of it. You're glorifying misogyny with all these , she's mine , she'll be mine , my seed driving down her thigh , DISGUSTING, not to mention relationships where the power dynamic is WAY OFF. Yeah a 25 yo is mature enough to be w a 43 yo, Def no power imbalance there , she's her own woman and can make decisions for herself, how mental can you be ?!?!?!?!?!? - GR

Only thing i can add to this is that i cant believe that this book has a rating of 4,16 on goodreads (4,19 before i gave it a 1/5). The coments were all positive, only 1 negative. I mean great for the author but eww. It really is a mess of a book and i feel if it stays i its designated demografic its gonna continue to thrive and shine but if it blows up it deff wont be because it so good, its deff gonna be because of the problematic toppics and in general everything.

The Short Life of Bree Tanor - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book just held me by my troath and didnt let go till the end. What do i say about a book where i knew that the mc was gonna die at the end. The book is read as a whole stry, no chaptors no nothing. Its very real, belivable , just really sucks you back into the twilight universe and as mentiond at the beginning it grabs you by the troatha and doesnt let go. The story was just amazing and emotional and raw, real and pure. We get to experiance what bree felt in those last few weeks of her life, explaining how she came to be, what got her there and how she managed to survive in a pack of newborns that only had the instinkt to kill. The very short , hopefull romace between Bree and Diego that def had a future but lasted roughly a few days was heartbreaking. I really hoped that diego didnt die and that he was actually still on the mission of spying on the cullens but as we get to find out , its a lie and diego died a painfull death . The last moments of brees life were intense and just torture, and once her death came it gave her what she so desperatly needed -PEACE.

Gimme all you've got on directors cut of We Are Not Friends!! I am in big need! If you asked spare some crumbs please (only if you want to tho!"

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. Or, send in a ⭐star⭐ to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

bestie that was 2 years ago amid the beginning of a major historical event and the resulting maladaptive hyperfixation

i was originally just gonna spitball but then i went and skimmed the whole fic so these comments are relatively chronological

also longue as fuck

i'm sorry to anyone "keep reading" doesn't work for

it was originally supposed to be a oneshot a la don't feed the animals and idle hands, it obviously didnt stay there

the ptsd flashback in ch 12 was written a lot earlier than you think and came up a lot earlier than i expected

that event is also fairly recent - after the priestess went fishing the devil spent the magic accumulated over lucio's stay in the realms to rip a hole through dimensions and get the fuck out

(we don't know how he managed to end up in vesuvia, maybe using lucio's intense I Want To Go Home feelings as a focus point)

he may have crawled out of the basement in the rowdy raven which means when barth says "i dont know where he came from" it doesn't JUST mean "that guys from out of town"

the devil spends most of the fic as this image:

lucio did once have a tab, if he were to pay it barth would be able to renovate the raven at least three times

any assets he may have had in vesuvia belong to nadia/the state, now, but he may have ferreted money away in other places during his conquesting years - not that he knows where it is, anymore

unbeknownst to either disaster boy, the coliseum is no longer standing - nadia had it knocked down to put a library there a while ago

lucio spent 3 years as a goat and 40+ years as a man, and yet in a pinch it's the goat that comes back

i was definitely going for a "what do you want?" "your soul" "a bagel" "noooo" "... two bagels" type deal here (cause the devil hungy:

A meat pasty, still warm.

Another bolt of red agony snapped through his skull, only fading after he was strangely compelled to lean up and grab another one.

canon didn't say he was good at swimming until way after i'd written him being hydrophobic, but in fairness you kinda become hydrophobic if you know the water is consistently full of murder

if arsenic had used the mask to track him, they still would have easily found him bc it would be using the devil's energy

the skulls are an important part of this family, Julian!

pushing a dislocated shoulder back into place is vaguely a callback to my ancient invader zim fic

bright gold magic is a signifier of the fool (you can see this in the golden chain representing his blood bond w/ mc in an earlier fic), arsenic's magic was green pre-resurrection

on a related note i let lucio have molten gold during his breakdown as a sort of nod to the "lucio is the fool" theory before i'd fully decided to reject it - maybe his magic is just like that

mazelinka's magic soup being "deep gold" was just me not being able to think of a good color, maybe arsenic made this one for them

the headaches pre-reveal are what happens when two consciousnesses try to occupy the same space without either of them being fully cognizant of it

after that it's mostly just the devil being a dick

lucio being a magical heat sink was my theory on why he's "magical deadweight" in canon despite having the blood of a powerful magician in his veins

(i haven't caught back up to his route so idk what their reasoning is)

the leeches did help!! the devil definitely monches one to get that power back and bc he has zero standards

my one regret about the bodysharing is that arsenic was too efficient in locking him up before i could do more Shenanigans with it

i don't actually know what the devil was yelling at them while they were getting the magic out, but it was probably some form of ancient swear

if lucio drew another card in the deck it would be the devil because thats how things work (unless ofc his card went missing when he broke out)

the devil means lucio, here - helping/trusting/taking care of him

"Not that. Helping me? Trusting me? Taking care of me??"

but he's thinking about both of them here

"I hurt you." His attention was on him again. "I will hurt you."

the devil absorbed the Sleep Magic so it was just hot soup he drank, and yes, he may have underestimated how hot fresh soup is on a mortal's tongue

he also gets to pretend to sleep, much like jules

the devil's initial reaction to jules' confession was kind of a kneejerk subconscious lucio, how would YOU respond to this, oh that bad, and so he switches tactics to how he knows one is Supposed to react

absolutely would've fucked like rabbits if he opened the door

this is still my fave part of his escape because pls imagine the devil tripping over himself, the center of gravity is Wrong and these legs are Wrong

In a fit of desperation he let himself pull back, leaning into that feeling of being moved by something else - he felt his hooves slip on the hardwood, spindly limbs supporting them twisting and crumbling beneath him, threatening to pitch him across the floor - stumbling and catching himself on a wall he couldn’t see, pulling himself forward again on human feet and a human mind.

he may have punted portia here

One managed to remain standing, and as they grabbed for him he changed tacks and leapt on top of them, using their body as a springboard to fling himself further along the deck.

and the devil's mask acting as a link to the Outside

For a moment his reflection shifted and disappeared into darkness, accompanied by muffled, worried voices.

“ --fetch me a goddamn lifeboat before my IDIOT FIANCE kills himself playing HERO-- ”

the mind palace flooding is what happens when you're hurtling across the ocean at mach 5 and the other personality is trying to take control so now you're fucking drowning

this is a big goddamn lie bc it's lucio that's coming out on top

“This vessel is growing weaker by the day, Julian. I don’t know how much longer he’ll last me.” The Devil sighed, examining his vessel’s claws in lieu of his own, expression contorted into a mockery of pity. “Sooner or later, he’ll fall apart. Slowly, painfully, piece by piece until nothing of him is left. Surely you don’t want to witness this?”

the healing scene was originally actually going to succeed, however, i realized that's kind of a stretch for the devil's magic

the priestess ofc has been hunting him for years, but the connection only got stronger recently - before, nadia wouldn't have seen or felt anything quite so vividly

the devil talking over nadia was inspired by venom talking over the doctor in venom 1

this part was originally amidst crying on the ground time

What the hell was he supposed to do now? Was he supposed to stick with the plan? He couldn’t face either of them now. If he found the boat, where was he supposed to go?

i considered having lucio grab his floppy ears instead, but lucio knows how animals work, you don't do that

He snarled and shifted his grip to one set of horns instead, yanking his head up towards him, almost eye to eye.

people on twitter would have seen me in process of writing this part

“I shall be a perfect gentleman.”

“No you won’t.” The former Count huffed.

except like this because of sleep deprivation

“I shall be a perfect gentleman.”

“No you shall'nt.” The former Count huffed.

i had also considered making the devil be Smol (not necessarily a baby) as a side effect of the bond, but went with the sick and dying look to go w/ lucio's death themes

if i was SMART i would have broken ch 19 up into more than one chapter because goddamn

i had "lucio saves the devil's life" thing in mind ever since "you owe me your miserable life" was said, though i'm p sure he would have been fine, but then again, he's half-mortal so

i'm still disappointed in myself for not doing more with the "lucio becomes more archetype, devil becomes more human" last unicorn concept

there's stuff i wanna say about ch 20 BUT i think i was gonna cover it in a wanf tale,,

i don't remember how i was originally going to resolve things, but Weaponized Friendship was not the 1st on the list

no i have no idea how asra convinced muriel to attend julian's wedding with a GODDAMN DEMON cameo but he's never going to any other wedding ever again

i'm still down for anyone wanting to rewrite or give me pointers on rewriting the wedding to be more jewish

obviously this fic predated the tale with nevivon, so i was thinking it was just A Sea Town, but this means at least half if not most of the non-vesuvian party guests were grandmas and they partied the fuck out

(another wanf tale will cover Actual Nevivon)

Hi Sync! Hope you're doing well this day/afternoon/evening/night, listen, I don't know how timezones work, but I'm sending my regards anyway so they'll find you eventually 💖

I have a bit of a long message here but I promise there's a reason for it, please bear with me

For months now I've seen headcanons and ficlets for Nero's twin sister, and I've finally caught onto the brain worm too. I'm in the planning stages for a fic right now, and decided to make this gal a hunter - both traditional, and demon-slaying. She's very much a recluse, lives alone on a farm, keeps a dog. No trespassing signs EVERYWHERE.

Now because of her approach to hunting animals, she does the same thing with demons. That is to say, she goes out and tracks them down before they become a problem for humans, essentially the opposite of Dante's wait-for-them-to-come-to-me tactic (or lack thereof). Because of this, she doesn't get paid. Nobody is going to pay for protection they don't know they're getting. So, I figured that seeing as she takes wild game, her approach to demons would be very much the same, trying to find a way to sell the different usable parts.

So she processes the corpses for alchemical use: pressing the bodies to extract as much blood as possible before they decompose into dust, salvaging what chitin she can, picking off important-looking bits. It's about here that I'd like to stress that she doesn't do alchemy herself, she just creates the ingredients that are then sold to the clients who do.

After I'd written this idea down however, I remembered that alchemy is very much Liviere's thing. And so, after three paragraphs of context, I would like to ask you if this idea is alright, or if you think it may be too similar to what you've done/plan on doing with Liviere

Aaaaaand if you've made it this far then you're a saint, I imagine seeing a short essay in your asks isn't normal. If you have read this far then please accept this gold star, it isn't much but it's a token of my appreciation nonetheless! ⭐

Oh wow, yeah, I didn’t realise asks could even get this long. 🤣 I guess that must be a recent development, like how you can now send images and the like on mobile. But ooOOooOooooh nonnie, that’s a neat idea for a Nero!twin!! Love the recluse aspect lmfao. And the doggo. Doggos are very good. 👀

And omg no you’re defs free to use the whole alchemy prospect, it’s not like... I own the idea, you know? Liviere will also be delving into this sort of thing in her future too, but tbh, it’s really not a huge plot point or anything like that, so defs feel free to go full steam ahead with this!! I hope you have fun writing all this out, because it sounds really fun! ✨✨

Thank you so much for running it by me though nonnie, I really appreciate the thought! 💖

#answer: anon #ask sync #and not really relevant to anything hence why it's in the tags but:#I think while going for an inhuman character in the DMC universe is fun in itself #what I love even more is finding ways to elevate humans to keep up with the Spardas #the core of DMC is about like... human strength #and I think I just love making OCs to reflect that?#gives me the fuzzies
