Almost Done! Scenes From My Project…
I’m about halfway through the last real category of books—gothic/horror. I worked on it all day and all night.
Tomorrow…hopefully I can finish it.
Up next:
• more miscellaneous horror paperbacks
• Clive Barker
• Dean Koontz
• Stephen King (including Dark Tower series)
• Anne Rice
• miscellaneous vampire/paranormal series, including Charlaine Harris.
*note to self: don’t forget Simon R. Green
• Barbara Michaels
• gothic romance
I have left romance for the very last.
It’s mostly gothic, some clean vintage regency. That’s it.

1, 8, 20, 23 for the book ask please!
1. Did you set a goal for yourself this year? How did you do? If not, why not?
Like every year, I did the GR Challenge where you can challenge yourself to read a certain number of books. I went for 60 and managed 70 (minus 5 or so that I dnf'd). I know from experience that any other more concrete challenges just Do Not Work for me. I come to a point where I don't feel like reading any of the books that would fit for the challenge and instead of going "these are arbitrary rules anyway, go and read something else and see how you feel after that" I'm like "Nooooooo" and stop reading altogether.
8. If someone were to ask you what your top ten books for this year were, which would you choose?
Ohhhh, I like that question, but don't take the exact order too serious. I loved all of those books:
Simon Jimenez - The Spear Cuts Through Water
Kim de Horizon - Blutbuch
Taylor Jenkins Reed - Daisy Jones and the Six*
Aliette de Bodard - Of Ghosts Charms and Grievances
Ivan Turgenjew - Fathers and Sons**
Jeanette McCurdy - I'm Glad my Mom Died
Pat Barker - Regeneration
R. F. Huang - Yellowface
KJ Charles - A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel
David Mitchell - Unruly
* specifically the audiobook version, I genuinely doubt I'd enjoyed it if I'd read it and not listened
** specifically the (fairly modern) German translation I read, which was damn good and which actually made me look up the translator (Ganna-Maria Braungardt) to see what else she translated. (I haven't picked up anything else by her yet, but I really want to)
20. Would you say that you had any kind of growth as a reader?
I have branched out from my usual genres (Fantasy and mystery with some romance thrown in) and read some more *~*literary*~* stuff, more non-fiction and - well - three classics (if you don't count the Jules Verne re-reads), which is more reading out of my "comfort zone" than I've done in previous years I think. And even in "my" genres, I picked up stuff that wouldn't have been on my radar earlier. (The Spear Cuts Through Water is definitely not a fantasy book I thought would have appealed to me, and The Tattoo Murder is also unlike my usually mystery fare)
23. What new releases did you read this year?
Brb checking release dates (I'll just take this as 'books released in 2023' even if I did not read it immediately after publication). So:
Yellowface
Claire North - House of Odysseus
Sarah Underwood - Lies We Sing To The Sea
Unruly
Priest - Guardian*
Martha Wells - Witch King
Josh Lanyon - Lament at Loon Landing
Courtney Smyth - The Undetectables
KJ Charles - A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel & The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen
* well the translation came out this year
(And I remember less than I'd like about Witch King because I took long breaks inbetween and because I read it when I was...not in a great place)
Thank you for asking <3

Either Simon R Green or RA Salvatore. I'd put Clive Barker in there too, but I have a feeling most of his advice would be Tortured Artist Bullshit like "delve into your own inner darkness" and "take the world inside you like a one night stand". I have no actual basis for that assumption, but he just seems like the type.
You have to serve a yearlong guild apprenticeship with any fiction author of your choice. Who would it be?

Hello! Thank you for the tags @martsonmars @facewithoutheart @artsyunderstudy and @stitchyqueer. It's so fun and inspiring to see what you are up to.
First, it's the fall equinox, aka the 26th anniversary of Simon's conception ritual in the White Chapel. Best wishes and grim sex to all who celebrate.
Second, I've made tons of progress on Basil Pitch's Diary, despite having very few finished words to actually share. How? I figured out that I am very much a plotter and more of a re-writer than a writer, and so benefit from a very very detailed outline. I'm trying the Snowflake Method for outlining a novel longfic. While many people would find so much structure unnecessary, if not smothering, it's really working for me. I've also learned that (1) a format is not a plot, and (2) it is better to write the jokes around the plot than vice versa.
ALSO! I have not touched my promptfest WIP because I figure if I have such good momentum in this one, I should go with it. But I can feel that change in the weather coming on, and am also getting homesick for Simon's POV, so--SOON.
Anyway, here are some sentences from my BPD outline--some in Baz's voice, some notes to myself a la @whatevertheweather. Words & tags below cut.
Ugh did I forget VERA???
Baz is an UNRELIABLE narrator. Don’t forget this.
Make it c r u s t y.
Rabbit blood: fine but not as good as dog tbh. Haven’t had one of those in a while. Try to get only strays, which are few and far between in prosperous Hampshire, thank you Bob Barker.
Whoring around might be good for getting over Simon but (1) cannot whore until over him, is catch-22, and (2) should probably not hook up with someone who looks like Simon, although is objectively most attractive way to look. Fuck fuck fuck.
Was stupid to ever think I could get over Snow. Is impossible if past self keeps rubbing present self’s nose in Snow’s [REDACTED].
High-fives to @palimpsessed @takitalks @johnwgrey @bazzybelle @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @fatalfangirl @cutestkilla @forabeatofadrum @ivelovedhimthroughworse @ileadacharmedlife @moodandmist @urban-sith @captain-aralias @aristocratic-otter @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @confused-bi-queer @creepyspice @sillyunicorn @frjsti @basiltonbutliketheherb @technetiumai @dragoneggo @ic3-que3n @nightimedreamersworld @whogaveyoupermission @wetheformidables @hushed-chorus

Do you give recs? I'm looking for some woke-free medias to consume (books particularly, but it can be anything)
It's hard to give recs without knowing your taste, but I'll try. Necessarily, many of these will be older things, so sorry if that bothers you
Books:
The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell (sci-fi)
The Nightside series by Simon R Green (urban fantasy/detective noir)
The Deathstalker series by Simon R Green (there are gay side characters in a few of the books, but the books themselves aren't woke. Just good sci-fi/space opera)
Any Conan the Barbarian story written by Robert Howard or Robert Jordan (fantasy)
The Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson (disclaimer I'm only up to book 4 out of 15 and the last book was published in 2020 so it may have gotten woke or started to suck later on, but right now it's pretty good and pretty pro-American. Alternate history action sci-fi)
The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher (urban fantasy)
Any Dune book by Frank Herbert or Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (sci-fi)
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (only read the first three out of nine so same disclaimer as Destroyermen. Alternate history fantasy. Napoleonic Wars with dragons)
The Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell (also the excellent film adaptations of the books with Sean Bean if you can find them. Historical fiction. You follow Richard Sharpe through the ranks of the British army during the Napoleonic Wars)
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien (the grandfather of modern fantasy)
The collected works of HP Lovecraft (definitely not PC or woke. His cat makes an appearance in one of his stories. Horror)
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker (horror. Hellraiser was based on this novella. tentative rec because it's good, but there's a lot of mentioned sex and very liberal attitudes towards sex so I don't know if you'd consider that woke or not. The sex obsessed characters are the bad guys though)
Any of the pre-Disney "canon" Star Wars expanded universe books.
Any of the Star Trek books written by William Shatner (they're all a connected series though so read them in order)
If non-woke is your main criteria, I'd suggest giving the Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski a try. I personally hated the little bit of the first one I read, and I hate the Witcher series in general, but no one can argue that the Witcher is in any way woke, lol
Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher (fantasy)
Phantoms by Dean Koontz (also recommend the movie with a very young Ben Affleck, but if you rent it on Prime use headphones. Audio is all fucked up through a surround sound system. At least it was when I rented it a few years back. horror)
The Legend of Drizzt series (and the associated sub-series) by RA Salvatore (fantasy. I stopped reading at the Transitions series--books 20-22--because I personally didn't like them and the way they changed the characters and the setting, but YMMV. I'd highly recommend books 1-19 though. Great fantasy series in my favorite D&D setting, the Forgotten Realms)
The Giver by Lois Lowry (young adult book, but has a great message of individuality and anti-government)
Since you wanted books mostly I'll just breeze through movies, shows, comics and games with a few of my favorites:
Movies - Equilibrium, Lord of the Rings, pre-Disney Star Wars, Alien, Aliens, Predator, Predator 2, Hellraiser 1 + 2, Friday the 13th series, Halloween series, The Patriot, In the Mouth of Madness, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 + 2
Shows - Jericho, X-Files, Star Trek (OS, TNG and DS9 especially. Anything nu-Trek is easily skippable), Chernobyl, Avatar The Last Airbender, Lost (it's not confusing if you just pay attention!)
Anime - Fullmetal Alchemist (both series are good but Brotherhood follows the manga more closely), Death Note, Bungo Stray Dogs, Yowamushi Pedal, Ace of Diamond, Yuri on Ice (super gay but funny and heartwarming and not woke beyond the two male leads being stupidly in love with each other even if it's never mentioned explicitly), Street Fighter II V. Honestly most anime isn't woke at all, so just look around for things that seem interesting to you and you're probably good there
Comics - Batman: No Man's Land, Batman: Knightfall, Batman: Bruce Wayne Murderer/Fugitive, Batman: The Killing Joke, any Marvel Masterwork collection, any Dark Horse Alien or Predator or Alien vs Predator comic, Spawn. Special mention: Isom and the Rippaverse. The Rippaverse is a new shared comic universe created by Eric July, self-described anarcho-capitalist and contributor to The Blaze that's specifically designed from the ground up to not be woke and offer a customer first mentality. They promise that the various books they're planning on releasing will focus on story and characters, not politics or social justice crap. So far, only Isom #1 has come out, and I haven't gotten my copy yet, but most people who've read it seem to love it, and that one comic alone has already sold over 43,000 copies and made $3.7 million so early adopting is probably a safe bet.
Games - Metal Gear Solid series, Batman: Arkham series, Halo 1-3, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Greedfall, Dishonored series, Edge of Eternity, Metro series, Mafia 1+2, Elden Ring. Pretty much any game before the mid-2010s is a safe bet for non-woke, so like anime, you should just look at older games you think you might like, or their remasters, and go from there.
So that's my list. It's by no means complete, and there's no real order to the recs, so just look them up and see what, if anything, appeals to you. If you, or anyone else, want more specific recommendations or an opinion on a certain title or series that I mentioned or even ones I didn't, feel free to ask. I'll help if I can. Mostly what I read and watch are sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and things like that. I don't really read typical bestsellers or westerns or comedies. So I might be much help with those genres.

rating the shadyside killers on how terrifying they are and if i would allow them to unalive me
spoilers, duh.
CW: depictions of murder, swearing
Tumblr media
Cyrus Miller
he targeted children
i'm a minor
me = terrified
he had such a good dynamic with the children before he... you know—
tHE SCENE WHERE HE JUST TAPPED THE METAL THING WHILE MUTTERING SHIT IS SCARY ASF
he's a possessed pastor need i say more
the drawing of him is something i never want to see again
10/10
The Grifter
"THE GRIFTER GUTS GIRLS"
i also fit into this category so that honestly just sucks for me
pretty sure he's the one with the big mask thing where the subtitles in part 3 literally just says [Heavy breathing]
he drowned his victims in lakes
i can't swim nor am i strong
6/10 (+1 bc he targets girls)
Billy Barker
i feel so bad for this kid
wtf does the goode responsible for his possession have against him HE'S A KID
i could dropkick his little bum
grab his baseball bat and WHACK
THE MASK IS WHAT TERRIFIES ME THE MOST ABT HIM
i think i could out run him
yeah i definitely could
2/10 bc of the mask
The Humpty Dumpty Killer
we don't know much about them
they don't have a scene except for an article
i guess we can assume that they k1ll, chop the body into pieces and puts it back together—
sicko
wtf i can imagine them being a cannibal
LIKE BC HUMPTY DUMPTY IS AN EGG—
5/10 ig— idk—
The Milkman (Harry Rooker)
he's terrifying
HIS SCENE IN PART 3
WTF
AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A MILKMAN??
10/10 bc sadie said so
Ruby Lane
let's get this out of the way, i would let ruby lane k1ll me while she sings you always hurt the one you love
simon's right
she is hot
THE WALK??
go off queen
bias aside it is terrifying when she was just sitting on the ground singing then looked up at simon—
and the singing is very eerie (probs bc she was in a choir)
anyway 3/10
Camp Nightwing Killer (Thomas Slater)
another one i would let murd3r me (under specific conditions)
and the condition is: he doesn't wear the sack
he's fast asf
my guy can r u n
i'm also not much of a fan of the axe—
you gotta have some good slashes to officially k1ll someone—
and i don't want to go through that <3
he killed simon, i hate him
w/o the mask 5/10
w the mask 11/10
Skull Mask (Ryan Torres)
IS THE REASON WHY MAYA HAWKE DOESN'T GET MORE SCREENTIME
I GOT MAYA HAWKE BAITED INTO WATCHING THIS SHIT
HE ALSO KILLED KATE
AND FUCKING PUT HER HEAD IN A BREAD SLICER??
at least they got iconic deaths.
BUT STILL
his costume is very cheesy
post death ryan in the hospital was terrifying asf
he just *whoop* stabs ppl
unless your kate
8/10
i'm adding in nick goode (the goode's in general) bc he's technically the mastermind behind all of this shit: 10000/10 hate him
ofc if i were in the actual universe i would be terrified of all of them, a good 11/10. i would've definitely moved to sunnyvale.

Buffy and Angel also have two products that show up regularly in fiction.
Tumblr media
One is Sugar Bombs or Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, which appear in Calvin and Hobbes, Marvel’s Runaways (featuring Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes, Molly Hayes, Old Lace, Xavin. Victor Mancha, and The Swarm), and The Incredibles 2. They also show up in the videogame series Fallout, but that is most likely an alternate universe. Morley Cigarettes are the other product that has a good travel life, enough to have its own Wikipedia Page. As such, I’ll only mention a few notable cases: Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, Murder in the First, Platoon, Psycho (1960), The World’s End (2013), 24, American Horror Story “Birth”, The Americans, Beverly Hills 90210 (1990s series), Burn Notice, Californication, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Dick Van Dyke Show, ER, Everybody Hates Chris, Friends, Heroes, Jake 2.0, Judging Amy, Justified, Lost, Malcolm in the Middle, Medium, Millennium, Mission: Impossible (TV Series), Nash Bridges, NCIS, New Amsterdam, Orange is the New Black, Pushing Daisies, Reaper, Seinfeld, Space: Above and Beyond, The Strain, That 70s Show, The Walking Dead, Twin Peaks, Warehouse 13, Weeds, System Shock 2, and The Twilight Zone “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”. Obviously, some of these would be alternate universes. Finally, there are two notable parody examples to bring up: Vampirella vs. Fluffy. Vampirella has had a LOT of crossovers, so she’s one step removed from Buffy at best, ergo, they probably met and given the tone of the comic, Vampi did not leave too happy with Buffy’s remarks about her outfit, or Willow. Big Wolf on Campus actually provides a rather respectful crossover, and all things considered, the title character likely met Faith before she came to Sunnydale if taken as a proper crossover. Totaling things up, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and Angel) have had 10 nods to the Cthulhu Mythos, 7 crossovers with Dracula, 5 with Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes, 4 with Ghostbusters, and 3 with Doc Savage, Solomon Kane, Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, The X-Files, and Hellboy. And all that from just Buffy and Angel. Can you imagine what you find when you got a link further than that? Or two links? Six? 
To give a hint: The Mythos can add over 200 works, Dracula 160+, 79 from Frankenstein, 17 from Ghostbusters, 24 from Hellboy, 29 from Evil Dead, and 51 from The X-Files. There is a lot of overlap, of course, but it still sets a good idea of just how big this world is. Now, all Buffy needs is a crossover with Batman, and she’ll have hit the all the major crossover series.  Edit: Updated with Crossovers Volume 3.

random stuff i like about tma
that time when daisy is pointing a gun at jon and jon just loses all coherence. there’s a gun in his face and he trips incessantly over his words and can’t keep it together and freaks out. as someone who’s been held at gunpoint, i really appreciate that accuracy. like, for real, Our Hero is threatened with a gun and he’s just a mess.
our show starts with two main characters as cops and by the end they aren’t cops anymore. [austin walker voice] are you a cop? well don’t be. stop being a cop.
martin blackwood at the start of the show is fairly timid but is prone to outbursts dragging people, and i loved him back then, but his arc to the main plot driver of the show and the character with the most agency was /chef’s kiss
basira’s tactic of dealing with being a hostage is reading a bunch of esoteric and occult books and i think that’s very sexy of her
in late S3 and into S4 the sheer amount of anger Melanie was displaying did legitimately come across as strange, like especially her final pre-Unknowing statement to Jon was just weirdly aggressive to the wrong people.............................. and it turns out that was literally the point, it should have wigged me out, and she was possessed by an evil ghost bullet fueling her rage. wow? wow! okay!
in MAG151 “Big Picture” Martin tells a murderous avatar of the Vast to “sit down” and said Avatar’s reaction is to flirt even harder with Martin, I just admire Simon a lot in that moment.
Melanie does sync claps when doing statements and its the most adorable thing in the show, she does sync claps!!!!
“just because something hurts doesn’t mean its helpful” is fucking all time and so is georgie barker
in S3 i thought there was no path to me liking daisy as a character, just none, but then daisy and jon in the coffin and daisy wanting to just be around people and my heart melted. excellent writing, excellent acting.
no one in this show is straight and i like it. give the gays what they want (queer genre fiction).
“how do you feel about rollercoasters.” “eh, neutral.” “oh you’re no fun.” oh my goddddddddddddd
eta: lol someone in the tags asked “op r u okay” about the gun thing. i was involved in an armed robbery at my job. it sucked. jonny sims’ portrayal of someone looking at a gun pointed at them is very good. that’s all. (context: i’m american, guns are a Thing here XD)
