Repcomm anon again... I have officially decided that tumblr's problems with Kal'buir are just because of fandom's collective daddy issues. They hate every vaguely father-shaped character who isn't an obvious DILF or more perfectly wholesome than Father Christmas. If they put Kal in live action and made him hot, my bet is that fandom would be singing a very different tune. And it's not just Star Wars fans either - every fandom I've ever been in decides that the not-hot dads are problematic, neglectful, emotionally abusive, and probably physically abusive, no matter what the source material actually says. It's rather tiresome, if you ask me.

Anyway, Kal is the best and I love him

!!! thank you!!!!!! it IS it is tiresome!!!!!! oh my heck i -

repcomm anon you have taken the words directly out of my mouth. at least it isn't just this fandom that has daddy issues, that a relief in a way (though also kind of worrying if i'm honest), but oh my goodness i just - i may as well stop blogging right now, you've said all there is to say on the matter and you're so right

omg lately I've been having so many thoughts about lucas sinclair x reader !! I see so many lucas x cheerleader!reader fics but I keep thinking about lucas x bubbly!reader who isn't a cheerleader, but definitely acts as his personal cheerleader. Like maybe they met in class, and she's just so sweet to him and always shows up to his games no matter what, because she cares and always wants to support him <33 🥲

- 📚

omg this is the cutest thing ever

like she’s not a cheerleader but has the total attitude of one. and they met when he needed some tutoring in class and she helped him study for a test or something ; they’ve been inseparable ever since. she’s a bit of a nerd and so so sweet. always so happy to see lucas. goes to all of his basketball games and cheers him on from the crowd, maybe wears a shirt with his name on, when she turns around SINCLAIR is plastered on the back in bold letters🥹 GAH I LOVE THEM

Hey babe!

Reader anon here with another recommendation ;D

Firstly, how are you? What are you reading? Did the vanity fair treat you right?

I have just finished east of eden by Steinbeck and it fucks. Not doestoevskij style because, yk, he is american, but the cyclity, the daddy issues, the brotherhood bond, the biblical references, the only woman present is the devil incarnated but also she is right, for some things. Timshel! i wanna tattoo this word on my forehead.

also it's strangely modern about what people expect from strangers and how we adapt our lives to these expectations.

had my east of eden/cathy ames breakdown at the beginning of the year! so true of us to keep having exquisite taste and correct opinions only <33

[eddiesbug]

hi lovely !! so I just bought a satin pillowcase and I can just imagine buying one for eddie (because i love him and he deserves nice things <3) and him loving how soft it is 😭

- 📚

hiya babe!! oh yes would love to buy one for him tbh he’s a sweetheart (and u could tell him it’ll help w his frizzy hair😋🫶) and then he loves it so much he just lays with his face on it for ages😭

Sorcery of Thorns

All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them. As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

hi eddie! been a while, i hope you’ve been doing well!! i started rereading frankenstein again cause you inspired me to come back to it!! found a quote that reminded me of you! “I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend” (12). I was wondering what you thought, and if you could relate? i know i definitely could! much love as always!! hope you have a good rest of your evening/morning/day! <3!!

>> SAYING SOMETHING REMINDED YOU OF ME IS. . . SWEET.

>> BUT IN THIS CONTEXT, IT'S FUNNY. ALMOST AN INSULT, IF YOU REALLY LOOK. THOUGH MOST THINGS COULD BE TWISTED INTO INSULTS.

>> DO I RELATE TO A CHARACTER FROM A BOOK RELATING TO A CHARACTER FROM ANOTHER BOOK?

>> MAYBE. BUT WE'RE NOT REALLY ALONE, ARE WE? WE ALL HAVE EACH OTHER. THIS COMMUNITY MEANS A LOT TO ME. YOU ALL GET ME, AND I GET YOU.

[maiteo]

omgg anon tysm for sending this!! this book sounds great i’m definitely gonna read it sometime!!

[leias-left-hair-bun-again]

With all the hype from Celebration and the Kenobi series, I haven't read a whole lot, but I've been catching up today and I have thoughts!

First of all lmao Ordo's message to Kal - "I also married her" - like it's an afterthought or side note and not a huge freaking deal. That's so perfectly Ordo. Always business first with him. I adore him and Besany more than I can say.

Spaarti clones! Master Altis and his Jedi! I love seeing more of the old EU woven into this book (though I guess this technically predates No Prisoners). That's always been my favorite thing about being a hard-core Star Wars fan - all the little bits of a massive universe that tie together beautifully if you know enough of the rest of the story to recognize it but not in such a way that you can't still enjoy the story if you don't know all the other pieces.

(I have, hmmm, opinions on how current canon is doing on that front, but that's for another time)

The Nulls staging an intervention for Kal'buir!!! They love their dad so much and are so protective of him. I love that he got to finally adopt them all formally and it's especially poignant that it's right before his call with Tor. This book is giving me so many complicated family feelings and I love all of it.

yAY REPCOMM ANON 💕💕💕 it's been too long im so happy to hear from you again and ALSO i, too, have Opinions about disney's quote-on-quote canon >.> there is a reason i am finally and deliberately immersing myself in the EU instead lol but anyways -

yes!!! the altisians!!! i freaking love them, like - they were the new jedi order before the new jedi order was even a thing and they just sound so nice; if i was going to be a jedi i'd want to be one like them :DDD callista is an absolute sweetheart, her offering to help etain out is just. it's so jedi it's genuine and heartfelt and totally selfless and i love her for it

AND THE INTERVENTION okay i know this isn't part of it technically but this is possibly my favourite line in uhh relation to it slfjskf

"Kal'buir, are you feeling okay?" Prudii put his hand on Skirata's cheek. "Talk to to me, Buir. What's wrong?"

i just. i LOVE SEEING THE BOYS TAKING CARE OF THEIR DAD i love them taking care of each other too!!! we get so much family bonding time in this book, i'm so so SO with you i feel like this is one in which the characters are the family-est they've ever been!! we've got etain and laseema lifting each other up as sister-in-laws and laseema being the darlingest mummy to kad and the nulls sitting kal down and making him let them take care of ruusaan (also i love prudii's implication that they've tried to get him fix his ankle for a while now XD kal is STUBBORN bless him) and delta having a gossip sesh and jaller being the hero of the freaking century risking everything to protect his friends and ordo being jealous over kal and besany and ordo learning how to be married to each other and -

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH i know it's painful, but there's so much hope and love mixed into it i just - oh. it's the BEST. except for the near-the-end bit which destroys me to much to reread slkfjldsfj i won't spoil it but - i'm so happy you're liking the book so far!!!

also yES the adoption scene has to be the cutest thing, it's so mando XD ordo's businesslike to a fault but he didn't come by all of it naturally, i love that kal just casually adopts his lads over dinner. i've a feeling singing happy birthday is just not a thing in mando culture and personally i think they've got their priorities straight

[elliewlums]

Hi lovely, how are you? It's been so long since I've talked to you 🥲💕

As for me, my 18th birthday passed last month, and I got accepted into both of my dream universities and will be attending UCSD in the fall, which I am super excited about <33

-📚

omg angel i missed you!! i’m alright thank you<3

oh my god i am so proud of u! happy birthday for last month and congrats on getting into all your dream universities. that is AMAZING!! <333

[wulfhalls]

Hey! Your personal book anon here ;)

I have just finished reading Running wild by Ballard and it blew my mind!

It's a short story packed with good writing and it will send a icy shiver on your back.

Also, did you like the empress?

I didn't like Strange and Norrell a lot but it is definitely interesting and a different kind of fantasy. I hope you will like it more than me.

heyyyyy queen (gn) yes I loved the enchantress of florence the lyrical and fairytale like the writing has captured my heart thx so much for the rec! also im now onto vanity fair which!!!!! I can already tell they gonna do amelia so dirty and shes gonna join my beloved neglected wives in literature club. I'm collecting them like pokemon cards <3

[eddiesbug]

Ahh omg your nails are so cute !! And I totally get that, these are probably my last fill before I get them off because it's really costly to get them done so often when they grow out 🥲 and also I hope you have a wonderful vacation in a few weeks !! <33

Ohhh also, I went to a farmers market thing in my town and got this lavender pillow/linen spray and it smells so good!! I can just imagine spraying some on eddies pillow (after buying him new sheets, because yikes 😭) and cuddling together all relaxed <33

- 📚

thank you my love!!! i’m rly excited to go and just chill and do some reading and some writing and i’ll still probably be sort of active on here depending on how the wi-fi is there!!

omgomg yea that’s so cute especially because i feel like eddie’s a pretty late sleeper — he stays up until ungodly hours and then gets up late. but trying to coax him to sleep with a soothing lavender spray would be so cute!! stroking his hair until he falls asleep with his head on your chest and arms wrapped around you <33

[taleasnewastime]

ok so I'm back again (I'm the anon who sent in that ask about ACOTAR and beach read) and you read once upon a broken heart??? omg I loved that book. I've still not read the second one though (bc a friend gave me the biggest spoiler and now I'm processing all the tragedy things). I heard the new book's coming out this year.

i have to read something with romance in it to get interested in it, because I'm not really into anything other than that, unless it's a really really really good book. other than that, my favorite genre would either be a) dark romance or b) fantasy. said friend got me into fantasy books last year, can't get them out of my head now. I've read some of sarah j maas's books, then the cruel prince series (haven't finished), once upon a broken heart, and the invisible life of addie larue.

then there's dark romance books. I've not actually read a lot, but one of the most memorable ones would be the cat and mouse duet ('haunting adeline' and 'hunting adeline'). it's VERY controversial, I really wouldn't recommend u to read it unless you're really into stalker romance. also read trigger warnings before.

my favorite trope? hmm, that's a hard question. honestly, I'd read anything that has a good plot and is interesting. but I noticed I mostly gravitate towards e2l and opposites attract (for some reason)

I read a LOT of angst. i love a good book that can make me cry.

my most anticipated-not-read-yet books? the shatter me series. aaron warner is gonna kill me when i start the series, all of my friends who've read the books say that he is the hottest book bf ever, so that's something I'm mentally preparing myself for. I have so many books on my tbr that I also cannot read the twisted series and also the good girl's guide to murder series.

and at last but not least, my favorite book? I've read so many good books this past year... I have several. so if you're talking about fantasy/magic it'd be the invisible life of addie larue, and rom-com/e2l would be better than the movies. you should read both of these books!!!

I'd love to know more about your book preferences though. what is something that you hate in a character (could be there habits or mindset)? which character owns your heart? what is your opinion on colleen hoover books? favorite author? first book series you've ever read? favorite trope? you haven't yet replied if u have a book bf 👀

(+ if u do emoji anons (idk what u call them really) i could be known as 📚anon, if it's not taken)

I'm sorry for this really long ask but I was excited . have an amazing day and/or a good night's sleep, wherever you are.

Hello! Sorry this has taken a second to answer - I went to Dublin for the weekend :) And again, I love this ask so thanks for coming back!! I've put all my thoughts below the cut.

Gah, I loved Once Upon a Broken Heart. I have heard that people thought the second one was sad ..? so I'm kind of dreading it. Another reason to wait for the third to come out so I can hopefully just power through and get to the (hopefully) happy ending. Just so hard to wait!! I want to know what happens now!!!

I get the need to have romance in a book. I read quite a range of genres but I always fly through romance books. I also love fantasy books - take me away from this horrid world please! But I've not really read any dark romance books. Part of me kind of likes the idea but I'm also not sure it's for me. Guess that's the perk of there being so many different books everyone can pick from.

E2L is a classic!! Alllll the angst. I want the main characters fighting and being forced to be around each other, trying to deny their feelings before they're making out and loving each other. YES!

Ooh I have the shatter me series on my shelf but haven't read either. I also want to read Icebreaker (which I haven't bought yet) and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. I haven't got the twisted series on my tbr but I've heard good things about it.

Yes I've read Invisible Life Addie LaRue and I loved it tooooo. I bought a special addition of the hardback just because. I kind of love Luc in some twisted way ... (which is why I think part of me would enjoy dark romance lol). Such a good book though, definitely one of my favourites too. I also love Six of Crows. If you've not read that you'd possibly enjoy.

What I hate in a character? I really hate when people do something I'd never do. Sometimes I can understand when a character does the opposite of what I want them to do, but I hate when they do something I think no one would ever do - struggling to think of examples, but maybe just taking back a guy who's been absolutely crap, or sacking off someone who's only ever been nice. I'm sure there's loads of things I hate, but can't think of anything else now. Tbh I think I struggle more with bad writing over bad characters - though there's probably not much difference between the two.

Gosh, all the tough questions. Character that owns my heart? You've never read Project Hail Mary but there's a character in that called Rocky, who honestly, I'd die for. I'd also die for every character in The House in the Cerulean Sea - again another banger if you've not read, it's not romantic but it's really soft and sweet.

Book bf. This has just come to me from nowhere, but Howl, from Howls Moving Castle. He is essentially like the film Howl if you've ever seen it. But more Welsh. And he's so chaotic and would probably drive me insane with his mess and antics but I'd love him all the same. Who's your book bf?

I'm not going to lie, I'm not a fan of Colleen Hoover. I've read and didn't actually mind Reminder of Him and It Ends With Us. But I recently read Verity and sorry if you enjoyed it but I really don't understand why people like it, I thought it was awful. I still kind of want to read It starts With Us. Have you read any of her books?

Favourite author atm is possibly Emily Henry, have you read any of her books? The first series I ever read was almost definitely Harry Potter, I remember queueing up at midnight to buy the books. I read quite a few series though, mainly because most fantasy books seem to be series. Are you a fan of series or do you prefer stand alone books?

Please don't apologise for the long ask, unless you don't want to read through my long replies! Honestly love reading what you've put and writing out my responses, so thanks for taking the time to ask :) Hope you're doing well wherever you are!
