Can we stop describing eyes as “orbs”? Thanks.

Hiiiii, so I'm a little confused about icos..., so I just started reading the first book (the original) but could you tell me the order of the books that come after? and I know that there's a director's cut, but is that only for the first book? like... there's an original and a DC of evenfall, but then AFTER that the books are just the original ones? ALSO (sorry for all the questions) are there hardcopies anywhere to find? THANK YOU!

I’m here to help! I know that it’s a bit confusing xD for me there was never a problem figuring out the order because I read it on their old blog (HERE), and the chapters were published in order, so I literally had just a list to go through. the order of the books is: 1) Evenfall (either original version or DC; DC is cut in 2 volumes) 2) Afterimage3) Interludes 4) Fade4.5) 1/27 (post sequel anthology) so yes, there’s only the DC of the first book, all the others are in the original version. Paperback only available for Evenfall Director’s Cut Volume 1, Volume 2 (password for both is vega). unless you decide to print it all at your own expenses like another of the fandom did xD

Happy Valentines Day!

I'm including my book nerd side here for a minute to just post all my favorite fictional couples, okay? Thanks. 🥰🥰 (in no particular order, I love them all!)

Andrew and Neil from All For the Game. I love this book, and I love these characters an unhealthy amount (plus own voices rep for demisexuality.)

Joe and Ox from Wolfsong. And their werewolf pack family 🥰🥰 this series needs more art! (Yes they are werewolves) (Own voices rep for mlm)

Rowan and Aelin from Throne of Glass. I'm a sucker for this couple who would burn the world down for each other

Crier and Ayla from Crier's War. Bonus, the author of this book is an ARMY and huge Namjoon bias, even thanks Namjoon in the acknowledgements! Lol (own voices rep for wlw)

I can't pick just ONE ship from Six of Crows, so I'm listing all 3 of them. My babies. Kaz and Inej, Nina and Matthias, Jesper and Wylan. I love them all so much. (Own voices for chronic pain and mobility aid use)

Vin and Elend from Mistborn. A book nerd hero and the heroine MC being the biggest badass around. Love it

Adolin and Shallan from Stormlight Archive. They are adorably chaotic and Adolin is the definition of Golden Retriever energy while also still being a whole badass. Throw Kaladin into the mix to get one of my favorite trios of all time

Elena and Clay from Bitten. They are a huge mess, but I love them anyway. My comfort OTP lol. All of the couples by this author are some of my favorites, but Elena and Clay are my OG favs lol. This series needs more art too (yes, they are werewolves)

From one of my favorite fairytale Retellings done with a sci-fi twist, The Lunar Chronicles. Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolfe, Cress and Thorne, Winter and Jacin.

And my since childhood OTP, will love them forever and ever. Loved these books as a kid and I love them now! Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase 🥰🥰

Thanks for indulging me 🥰😍🥰 I won't mind if you skipped past this post since bookish things is not while yall followed me. Lol but it's a day of love and I love these couples!! None of this art is mine, credit goes to all the amazing creators.

At least the English ones are discreet, I can read them at work and school without getting judged, for which I am eternally grateful.

The polish covers are gorgeous though and that is exactly how I want lamen to look.

The fact that all of the foreign Captive Prince editions have literally the prettiest covers and we’re stuck with this basic shit annoys me to no end

English:

Japanese: (they have ILLUSTRATIONS. Do you understand???😭😭😭 gonna go learn Japanese)

Taiwanese:

Polish: I—This is everything. Like, everything.

(The first cover is literally one of the best arts of Capri I’ve ever seen)

Dear Berkley books,

This is a crime, one i will not stand for. So,

TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY AND GIVE ME CAPTIVE PRINCE, ILLUSTRATED, WITH THESE COVERS

Someone: yeah it was so sad when this character died

Me, who’s already read 15 fix-it fics and no longer can tell the difference between canon and fanon: when they what

[babyneilj]

You mean emotional as in emotional or emotional as I’m not good at holding their temper?

seriously have no idea how damen gets characterized as the emotional one in the relationship when one laurent of vere throws a hissy fit every time damen gives him good advice that employs common sense

I drew this in honor of the 2021 Olympics, back when the Olympics were actually still going. better late than never, right? enjoy some olympic-era oikawa<3

Tbh, the “not like other men” trope is just as bad and cringey and boring as the “not like other girls” trope.

[babyneilj]

Apart is not the same as A Part

In fact they are opposites. Please please fanfic writers, learn the difference. It drives me crazy

fictional characters can kill as many people as they want but it’s illegal for them to be annoying hope this helps
