Kitashi Updates - 4/19/23

Well, it has certainly been awhile lol Hello there! How’s everyone doing?

I’ve honestly avoided tumblr for a long time, only peeking in here and there when I have gotten the occasional tag from some very sweet people who still read & recommend my old fics. I’m actually not even sure I’m making a good choice posting now. It’s been over 5 years since ACOWAR & a lot has happened in my life. My last actual Update post that wasn’t a reblog (which was from like, what, 2017???) unexpectedly ended up documenting one of those life changing moments where your whole world turns upside down for the better. The ‘Rhysand Archeron’ player character I met while leveling up my gatherers in FFXIV (which this game is the reason my backlog of games now rivals my backlog of books 😓) had our first date less than 4 months after that post 😅 We’ve been together ever since & have been as happy as can be (though he goes by a different character name these days) 💜

The reason I’m here though is because of a few friends and family of mine (including 2 who asked me less than 12 hours apart & have no connection to each other) out of the blue about a week ago asked me, “Have you read/heard of ACOTAR?” 🤔

*cue manic laughter*

To make a long story much shorter & not bore you, after discussing with a few of them, I agreed to give the graphic audiobooks of ACOTAR, ACOMAF, & possibly ACOWAR a shot, to see if anything has changed for me in all this time. And some things clearly never do, because I made it to approximately the end of Chapter 4 of ACOTAR before I got inspiration for a fanfic. From Nesta’s POV of all things.

I’m nothing if not a glutton for punishment lol

I can’t promise how this will all go. I’m honestly very hesitant. But I’m willing to give it a second chance & see where it takes me.

Hope y’all are doing well! 👋💜

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.

So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.

so the fact remains that jeff goldblum played the grandmaster with absolute peak perfection and absolutely no other mcu performance can top that, which is just a fact, but it means that either jeff goldblum has this fantastically nuanced understanding of this character who is incredibly ancient and powerful but still ultimately a silly hedonist OR he just rolled up to thor ragnarok like ‘i’m jeff goldblum and i’m gonna be playing jeff goldblum’ and fuckin nailed it

Okay but it just occurred to me. EVERY other mention of winnowing in this series is when it’s done quietly and stealthily. Which means that Rhys consciously chose to be a loud ass drama queen when he crashed Feyre’s wedding and I literally cannot handle this level of theatrics rn.

This is how I’ll be celebrating. 

Happy New Year!

Me: i love books! I love them so much! I am such a bookworm!

Friend: cool! How many did you read this year?

Me: OK, so here’s the thing
