Since I am riding a mental Realm of the Elderlings wave at this moment, I would like to share my RotE shelf. Immediately after reading the first book a few years ago I grabbed hardcovers of the entire series because I knew without question it would become an all-time favorite, and I was absolutely, 100% right.
The Fool and Fitz mean much to me.

@taivus oh shit!!! god i forget when exactly we started but the bf started playing the audiobook for Final Empire during our hangouts and i inevitably got sucked in from there lmaoo
but yeah big same i cried like a baby tbh hrndfmfs definitely holding this trilogy very fondly now, love this cast a Ton
so far so good?? i’m currently up to ch 14 of Alloy of Law - made a joke just the other day of “mistborn but put a cowboy hat on it” lmaoo
i think it’s serving as a good transition(?) point for me with it still being in the same world, so I get some familiar terms and elements mixed in with the totally new stuff, yknow??
I’m still early on and I’m doubtful it’ll match up to my feelings toward the OG (my introductions to franchises/universes always feel Extra Special haha) but I’d say give it a shot if you’re curious!!
---
I’m reading the W&W books physically, but bf has said we might go back to audiobooks for Stormlight Archive “”because they’re big”” lol
don’t know the full gameplan but he’s read all(?) of sanderson’s stuff to my knowledge so im kinda just trusting his judgement as my guide into the greater Cosmere lmaoo
#taivus#reply#long post#SORRY TO RAMBLE#WHEN I SAW U RB THE VIN/ELEND ART FROM ME I WAS LIKE YOOOO??? POINTS MSDNFDS

I really, really want a long and emotional fantasy (or sci-fi) series to dig into but am suffering because I don't know of any I'll like for sure.
#Can we hit a realm of the elderlings level love again#Is it possible#taivus rambles#I specifically want something with good prose#hmmm#I might try the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio because I liked what I saw of the writing in the preview

I've been reading this fun fantasy book from the 00s about a bard who is released from prison after 17 years of solitude and torture. It centers on him slowly trying to reintegrate into the lively world despite his traumatic past while trying to figure out why he was imprisoned in the first place (he was never told). I was really into the tone, and the mystery of his imprisonment, there was a strong dragon component to the society and lore that I am (of course) a big fan of, and I found the world so interesting...
And then, 60% through the story, a new character is introduced that the MC gets a crush on, the POV swaps to the new character, and it essentially becomes a romantic comedy in tone. They have to fake kiss and dress up and infiltrate a fancy ball and everything.
Brooooo. 😭
#taivus rambles#I really like these dragons and am having fun so I will finish it#but this is so out of left field#and she's so mean to him and I just don't like her POV

A friend informed me that you can be a dragonborn, meaning I without hesitation caved and bought Baldur's Gate 3.
#taivus rambles#soon... soon#I will be the most obnoxious dragonborn bard known to man#and dragon#wills download to hasten

I think the most disconcerting thing about being transgender is how it feels to interact with someone who knew you for literal years pre-transition that does not recognize you.

Flight Rising is celebrating its annual Night of the Nocturne festival, which means I have zero life outside of grinding for dragon eggs for the next 2 weeks.
Join me in egg hell if you also play, please.
#taivus rambles#Give. egg#flight rising#flightrising#Every year this is all I do in December#So addictive#have 6 already and also 62 remaining from last year. I think I might try to hit 100 and then hatch them all

The past few years I've taken to reading a lot of modern fantasy series, and while occasionally one like The Locked Tomb will surface and pull in a big fandom, that is a rare exception. A majority of the time it just leaves me stirring in emotions about characters with little outlet.
#psp psp psssp where are my fans of#a chorus of dragons#the aurelian cycle#I'm about to leap into another. The... Tarot Sequence? by KD Edwards#I think I have seen some fanart of that one so here's hoping I like it#taivus rambles

I remembered suddenly and violently that dragons are the best thing in the entire universe yesterday, so I finally took the plunge into the two immensely popular dragon series I'd yet to check out -- Temeraire by Naomi Novik and McCaffrey's Pern books.
holy cow I love dragons
I love them
#taivus rambles#Once I finish Temeraire I will have officially read all of Novik's published works which is awesome#I don't know how much Pern I'll read but I am determined to at least give the first two trilogies a fair shot#And then continuing on so long as I keep liking them#I did read Dragonflight 8 or so years ago and recall liking it.

I smashed through my 2022 reading goal with ease, so I decided to change things up for 2023 and shift my new year's resolution to beating video games instead of reading books. I'm not really a gamer (at... all, really), but from owning a Steam account for over a decade, I've collected lots of things to play.
I'm setting my goal to 13 video games, which is roughly 12.5 more games than I normally play in a year.
If you have any suggestions for which ones to play from this list, let me know! I will mostly be playing whatever sounds fun in the moment otherwise. Any title bolded means it's one I'm leaning toward prioritizing from my cursory glance through my library.
Action:
Bastion; BioShock Infinite; Moon Hunters; Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time; Sayonara Wild Hearts; Transistor
Horror / Mystery:
Alicemare; Fran Bow; The Hex; Little Nightmares; Night in the Woods; Oxenfree; PRICE; SOMA; What Remains of Edith Finch
Platformers:
1001 Spikes; DLC Quest; Hollow Knight; INSIDE; Nihilumbra; Thomas Was Alone; VVVVV
Point & Click:
Dropsy; Emily is Away Too; Hiveswap Act 1/2 (beaten already but want to replay to get all the achievements); Life is Strange: Before the Storm; The Red Strings Club; The Room; The Room Two; The Room Three; The Room 4: Old Sins; The Secret of Monkey Island; Tell Me Why; The Walking Dead
RPGs:
Child of Light; Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition; Disgaea PC; Dragon Age: Origins; Dragon Age II; Final Fantasy VII; Final Fantasy X/X-2; Labyronia RPG; LiEat; OneShot; Rakuen; Tales of Beseria; Tales of Symphonia; Tales of Zestria
Puzzle:
Antichamber; Catherine Classic; Ether One; LIMBO; Portal; Portal 2; Snakebird; The Talos Principle
Visual Novels:
AI: The Somnium Files; Angels with Scaly Wings; Eliza; Hatoful Boyfriend; Heaven Will Be Mine; HuniePop; Long Live the Queen (technically beaten already but I want to 100%); An Octave Higher; Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (playing this one right now!); We Know the Devil; Zero Escape: The Nonary Games; Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma
Other:
Age of Empires II; Age of Empires III; Homeworld; Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale; SteamWorld Heist; This War of Mine
#taivus rambles#long post#Can I actually beat 13 games in a year? Time will tell#But I think one game a month is doable#Granted some of these are multiple games in one#But some of these are also very short so it should even out

After 90 billion years I finally got an NetGalley account and requested some ARCs for some upcoming books.
#taivus rambles#I have no idea whether I'll be approved for any but hey worth a shot#I went through the LGBT tag and requested 4 that looked cool#I'll wait a few weeks and if none of those go through I have another 8 I'd also like to take a shot at#I just don't want to risk too many at once since I don't know the approval rate for things#I have plenty of books to read either way

I am always in mourning for the wonderful stories I will not get to experience.
#Life is so short. How can I live it to its fullest when the options are so vast but time so limited!#taivus rambles#it's night time which means I'm thinking about Pacific Rim which means I'm thinking about how much I love it#which means I'm thinking about all the works I could love as much but might not chance to experience#which means I'm also thinking of all the indie books with an audience of 7 people I've collected#that have heart and passion within them that so few will see

I am very excited. :]
I was accepted back into my uni starting in the summer semester after a long, long break from school. I meet with my new advisor over the phone in a few days.
#taivus rambles#I'm going to be an SLP#and work with trans people on vocal training#hopefully all my old credits are still fine and I don't have to retake anything#it would be a total waste of time to have to start from zero again. I know the basic sciences already#neuroscience degree I love you but you were so bad in the job market#would have picked something else had I known the med school track wasn't for me sooner#hindsight 20-20#But yes! hoping for a quick undergrad
