The only fictional relationships I'm interested in and obsess over have the character's s/o's nickname as either:
Love
My darling god/My sweet nemisis
Darling
My dear
My dark benevolent queen
OR something like:
Snob/Troll/Wifey/[Last name]
Seaweed brain/Wise girl
Sarge
OTHERWISE I DONT WANT IT

These are three of my favorites reads this year, and they all feel like they’re in conversation with each other. Each deals with fairytales in ways that go beyond mere retellings, and each one has stunning prose that really made me fall in love.

Using the word 'wifey' is cringe and mysogenistic unless you are three teenaged girls who just found out your male best friend was your collective wife in a gender swapped past life.

Laila from The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi ✨🌿
Trying to go back to my simpler style because I'm realising I cannot make everything a finished illustration, I hope you'll like it!

This is what being a writer is like
(Book: Aru Shah and the City of Gold by Roshani Chokshi)
Photo ID: Image of a page from a book, showing the chapter title "I'm Not Equipped for This Level of Decision-Making" and the chapter stars with"Perhaps Aru was not actually ready.
At least, not ready to figure out how to get from one place to another." End ID

GUYS, ROSHANI CHOKSHI RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL
AND HERE'S THE RESPONSE (OVER A YEAR LATER, THE WOMAN'S DEDICATED)
PUT RESPECT ON THIS WOMAN'S NAME, SHE IS AMAZING
(In other news, now I gotta think of a fanfic with Hanuman. Maybe a one shot since I've still got 2nd Gen hanging over me. With Super Saiyans of course)

haven't posted tpq in a while so here's some hc's for y'all thirsty bitches
Aru learns how to knit, eventually, once things settle down. It's her one and only brainless activity that feels productive
Aiden really sucks at drawing, believe it or not. He can't paint or do art for shit.
Brynne is really into pottery (???) and she and Hira take a couples pottery class that ends... messily
Hira learns how to bake under Brynne, and eventually (lowkey) becomes a better baker than her. Sure, Brynne still cooks better, but Hira's just better at baking
Brynne's not mad that Hira's better than her. It's not a problem.
Everyone's really surprised that Brynne isn't upset that Hira's a better baker than her
Rudy discovers Chappell Roan and becomes obsessed
Rudy pulls up outside Mini's house one day with "HOT TO GO" blasting and gets arrested for disrupting the neighbors
this happens at three am
Mini knows how to play the piano (I think this is confirmed in the series???) BUT she only likes playing Taylor Swift because I SAID SO
And that's about all the fuel I have for today! Lmk if you have any tpq suggestions or prompts you want me to write (send in an ask and I'll probably bang it out)
