when he thinks about her too much:

it's disgusting (the cruel prince, holly black)

it's like a fever (sword catcher, cassandra clare)

[purplebass]

A TSC fan would recognize this everywhere, am I right? I wonder if it was done on purpose, an Easter egg of sorts. This is the typical parabatai interaction we get in every tsc series

Lin: You don't think I can fight because I'm a girl.

Kel: I don't think you can fight because you're in a wedding dress.

For what it's worth, I don't think Conor can fight in that dress either.

Conor: Perhaps not. But I would make a radiant bride.

The Ragpicker King

Clémence asks: Hello Cassandra ! I loved Sword Catcher so much, thank you for creating this word and these characters. I have a few questions about The Ragpicker King I think you could answer (and hope you didn't already): - You said we will keep up with Lin's and Kel's POV, won't get Andreyen's, but will there be others ? Like Connor's or Antonetta's ?

In the main body of the text, we only get Lin and Kel's POV, just like book one. But there are interstitial pieces between each chapter (as there were in book one, where those related specifically to the history of the Goddess and the Book of Makabi) and some of those do contain other character POV's.

- Will there be a timeskip after the SC's end ? Like days or weeks ? More ?

There is a skip of about three months between Sword Catcher and The Ragpicker King.

- How's our sweet Conor ? Depressed after what happened? Or determined to make things right ?

Conor is . . . managing! He is determined to be better —specifically at being a ruler, since his father has retreated into almost total solitude — so he's done things like move a desk into his bedroom so he can work more. (This is a big deal for him!) How it plays out, as there are many forces arrayed against him (including flaws in his own nature!) remains to be seen. :)

I need to get better at posting about aspec books as I read them, not just quietly adding them to my database and mentioning in the bottom of my reviews lol so here's the last few months [no order]

The Keeper of Lonely Spirits - cozy fantasy. the MC is likely acespec - he's only been interested in two people in 200 years, mostly uncomfortable about it otherwise. (& I think I saw the author mention this also). He's gay and also immortal - and elderly, not like an immortal-20-year-old, which is nice. It's vague/brief enough that I probably would not read it for aceness though.

I finally read the Villains duology, everyone knows about it, it's solid, only a brief direct mention of his asexuality in book 2 but the vibes are there throughout.

Be The Sea - a slow character focused scififantasy, with a demisexual (nonbinary, autistic) MC, and an ace SC. asexuality is discussed quite a bit in the book. lots of things are discussed. the book is mostly discussions.

The Fallow Year / Holy Terrors - end of the little thieves trilogy! Vanja and Emeric are still demisexual. they both explore some other relationships in TFY - I've seen some opinions that it felt 'not very demi' of them but imo the way it was depicted felt pretty clear on the difference of attraction vs action? I would have been happy with not as much focus on their relationship in the latter books but it's fine it's a good series

This Ends in Embers - end of a YA fantasy duology with dragons and sisters. one MC is demi. it's only briefly brought up but she has a romance subplot that it's lightly woven into.

Kiss Me, Maybe - contemporary romance with a greyace lesbian MC. I wrote a bit in my review here, it's not bad

The End Crowns All - YA Cassandra/Helen Greek retelling fantasy with a sex-favourable ace lesbian MC. bit too long and slow for me, but her ace journey was nice.

Wearing The Lion - heracles retelling, aroace author, athena (minor character) is alloace which is briefly discussed in a scene. probably won't put this in my database, just mentioning it here tho

Cradle and Grave - postapoc horror with an aroace character - just a single mention. no romance.

The Ocean Hugs Hard - historical mystery w a bit of cosmic horror, ace man MC. the depiction of his asexuality felt pretty true to the historical setting and was decent and complex, just didn't love the book.

Limitless: Poetry of an Aromantic & Asexual Journey - what it says on the tin. i'm not really a poetry person

What Wakes The Bells - YA fantasy with a demisexual girl MC, m/f. I liked how it emphasised the friendship aspect of their relationship just as much. her brother is also aroace. the book was just okay.

We Are Villains - YA mystery/thriller from Kacen Callender. the main MC is aroace, briefly explored. very glad for more Black aspecs from a Black author! the book was.....okay.

Vagabonds! - great Nigerian contemporary fantasy with a couple of ace/aroace coded characters in the ensemble cast, though only really discussed in a few paragraphs. very good book.

Unbury The Bones / Boneless - a couple very short cozy fantasy mystery novellas about an aromantic vampire & the werewolf who's trying so so hard to be their friend

That’s What She Said - contemporary novel about two friends in their 20s, one is demisexual. it is very focused on her demisexuality which is done pretty well imo, unfortunately the other MC is arospec coded and then villainised for it (aromanticism is never brought up. it's just commitment issues or whatever, eyeroll)

The Chronicles of Nerezia - not new, I just read the most recent two books. 3 aroaces and a lesbian going on adventures and playing so many board games and trying to save the world

Come Drink With Me - chinese fairytale vibe novella about two immortals who live/work at an opera house, who are both aromantic. this isn't new I just reread it bc i've been meaning to for a while! read my bestie's books 🫵

Children of Ruin - unexpected major character in book 2 of this trilogy is mentioned to be asexual (implied aro). very much the asocial mad scientist stereotype and only mentioned the once, I wouldn’t really call this good representation. But I do like this kind of character and I also liked the books, so,

Black Salt Queen - again unexpected, a side character is an aroace woman. (just mentioned once). fingers crossed POV in book 2? idk

A Stage Over Ruthless Stars - YA sci-fi with an aroallo MC and gay MC. his being aro is pretty much just mentioned the once. the other MC also expresses disinterest in amatonormative 'when you settle down with a partner in the future' rhetoric. no romance.

Hallowed Be Her Flesh - another monster romance/erotica from emryn bird, sapphic with an ace MC and asexual-species angel LI

a couple books I've heard/ been reminded about recently and are on my hopefully-near-future tbr:

The Star Crossed Empire - space opera with an ace MC

The Map And The Territory - high fantasy with aroace MC(s?), been vaguely on my tbr for ages but I just got a copy.

A Crimson Covenant - sapphic vampire/werewolf romance, I believe one is demisexual

Threads of the City - demiromantic ace MC

Demon Song - an ace MC, I think

That Devil Ambition - it's a linsey miller book I'm sure there's an ace girl in there somewhere

Painted Flock - obviously! I always forget about books I designed when im book blogging lmao

Rising Ashes - Fallen Thorns sequel, aroace MC

One Morning Sun - book 3 in the Sãoni Cycle! aroallo & alloace MCs

(there are obviously MANY more I know about these are just. I do actually plan to read these soon)

Pat Conroy

Physique: Husky Build Height: 6' 1"

Donald Patrick Conroy (October 26, 1945 – March 4, 2016; aged 70) was an American author who wrote several acclaimed novels and memoirs; his books The Water is Wide, The Lords of Discipline, The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini were made into films, the last two being nominated for Oscars.

Recognized as a leading figure of late-20th century Southern literature (and as a hot chub daddy), who has written several acclaimed novels and memoirs. A former military brat with daddy issues, if he was born a woman, he would have turned into a stripper or whore. Instead he became an author that I'd still take to a back alley for a blow-job. Sure the comb over might be a problem, but I’m positive I won’t be focused on that whilst said dick was in him.

Born in Atlanta, GA, Conroy moved often in his youth, attending 11 schools by the time he was 15. He did not have a hometown until his family settled in Beaufort, SC, where he finished high school. During his senior year in high school, he was a protégé of Ann Head who was an influence on his future writing. His alma mater is The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in Charleston, where he graduated from the Corps of Cadets as an English major. He briefly became a schoolteacher (which he chronicled in his memoir The Water Is Wide) before publishing his first novel, The Boo.

Conroy lived on Fripp Island in Beaufort County, South Carolina until his death in 2016 at his home from Pancreatic Cancer. Living in South Carolina, I use to imagine running into him and offering him THE DICK. Then write his own biography about how we were secret lovers for years. Fucking like dogs in heat every time we get together. Yes… that would be a top seller.

Conroy’s first two marriages ended in divorce. He is survived by his wife, the writer Cassandra King; four daughters: Jessica Conroy, Melissa Conroy, Megan Conroy and Susannah Ansley Conroy; five stepchildren: Emily Conroy; Jake, James and Jason Ray; and Gregory Fleischer; and seven grandchildren.

Works: 1970: The Boo 1972: The Water Is Wide 1976: The Great Santini 1980: The Lords of Discipline 1986: The Prince of Tides 1989: Unconquered (teleplay) 1992: Essay on the Hidden Subculture of Military Brats at the Wayback Machine 1995: Beach Music 2002: My Losing Season 2003: Unrooted Childhoods: Memoirs of Growing Up Global 2004: The Pat Conroy Cookbook: Recipes of My Life 2009: South of Broad 2010: My Reading Life 2013: The Death of Santini 2016: A Lowcountry Heart: Reflections on a Writing Life

GRAVITY FALLS OC || Mabel’s first encounter with Cassandra

Mabel definitely doesn’t betray her own Grunkle behind his back by “accidentally” blurting it out to Cassandra the moment she recognizes who Cass is (tooootallyyyy did not snoop around his hidden old photos of her).

Have a screenshot edit warmup in prepfor the bunch of sc edits I have cooking! Wanted to see if I can replicate the style without needing to trace other characters.

Not exactly looking like the canon style but eehhh, good enough. ✨💜

[stabilimentums]

SHE'S DEFINITELY STARING, that much is evident by her bug-eyed stare. as much as she'd attempt to deny it later, to play it off & act as cool as possible, cassandra was definitely staring at @diam1nd. honestly, gawking was probably the better word for it. “ you're beautiful. ” hopefully that wasn't too crazy to say to a complete stranger. “ i'm sure you hear that all the time, but i just had to say something. seriously, your skin is, like, glowing. how do you get it to do that? what's your skin care routine? ” / sc.

[soul-engraver]

Even more outfit recreations! (I thought I had already made enough, but I was wrong)

I prefer Sophitia's Soul Edge 1p over her other 1ps, probably because it somehow reminds me of Xena and Wonder Woman (and both have ties to Greek mythology, what a coincidence), so I really wanted to make something similar in SC VI. The most difficult part to put together were her boots – there is only one pair that looks close, but they're too short, and I think the length makes a noticeable difference. I ended up placing some stickers on socks and colored socks close to her skin tone, but they are still not the same color. Still, it's the best that I could come up with, and ngl I like it. Fighting Cervantes on Indian Port sage in this outfit was fun.

Another costume from Soul Edge I like is her PS exclusive. It's unlike anything else she has in the other games, and it's just pretty. Still not sure about the hat, but for now I'm keeping this version. I would like if the tunic allowed for stickers though, because patterns are more difficult to place nicely.

Next is Maxi's 2p from SC III with some elements from other games. I liked two-colored pants and some robe on his upper body, but the black scarf doesn't stand out as much, so I changed it to red (not even my idea, I took it from Silvershire's video on Maxi's costumes). Also the shoes are closer to his SC II 2p because others would be more difficult to replicate.

The rest are just improved versions of what I put together before in this post. Raphael had very few changes – some stickers to give more texture to his red shirt, adjusted colors here and there, and I placed special equipment to resemble buttons.

For Ivy, I changed the upper equipment because this one has a corset, and adjusted colors again, so it looks closer to the original.

I added a belt, changed boots and colors for Tira's outfit. Plus gave her makeup that brings her closer to SC IV look.

With Cassandra's costume, I went for a full revamp. The first version was nice, but it still missed something imo, and then I figured what – the silhouette is a big part of why I like the original costume, and in my recreation it wasn't the same (plus that tunic doesn't allow for stickers). So I decided to change the top, and there is a good option in the inner body layer, the problem is that it takes off her tights. Still, I went with this one and placed a bunch of stickers to make it look similar to the original (stickers that change the texture of clothing are very useful for this). I also changed boots to short ones, picked a different neck equipment and chose tall socks to imitate her tights. And as a cherry on top, I let Cassandra's hair down because it looks cute with this.
