Book Review: Cohesion (Chain Reaction #3) by Aurora Crane

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Chain Reaction series: Catalyst (#1) | Reactant (#2) This book fulfilled all my expectations, and then some, for the long-awaited finale of this trilogy. The story does not work as a stand-alone; both the relationship arc(s) and external plot build on what has come before. The author has referred to this novel as “The Big Book of Feelings,” which is…

since taylor swift's definition of "feminine rage" is normalizing cheating, romanticizing ableism and mental illness, and immaturely whining about exes, here's some recommendations of my favorite actual feminine rage songs

trigger warning for abuse, violence, alcoholism, and rape/sa

as good a reason by paris paloma: alternative, indie pop. themes include body image, learning self love, imbalance of power, and fuck the patriarchy vibes

bitter medicine by the crane wives: alternative/indie rock. themes include high responsibility, the consequences of expressing anger as a woman, and self-resentment

blood in the wine by aurora: pop rock. themes include religious trauma, overcoming guilt and shame, embracing human nature, and defying societal norms related to pleasure (sexual and otherwise)

burn your village by kiki rockwell: alternative/indie rock. themes include sexual assault and rape-related trauma, coming to terms with trauma, revenge, high expectations, and witch hunts

everybody supports women by sofia isella: alternative, electronic. themes include societal hypocrisy, unrealistic standards placed on women, and society scrutinizing individuality

labour by paris paloma: alternative, indie pop. themes include unrealistic expectations/standards for women, burnout, emotional stress, and imbalanced relationships

pray by the amazing devil: melodramatic, theatrical, alt-folk. themes include religious trauma, religious power imbalances, oppression of women in religion, overcoming trauma, and self-forgiveness

scars by the crane wives: alternative/indie rock. themes include childhood trauma, mental health/mental illness, self-doubt, and self-resentment

take me to war by the crane wives: alternative/indie rock. themes include fighting bigotry, activism, allowing oneself to express anger and rage, and power imbalances

the calling by the amazing devil: melodramatic, theatrical, alt-folk. themes include lifelong trauma, mental health/mental illness, alcoholism, heartbreak and depression, coming to terms with trauma, and self-reflection

the fruits by paris paloma: alt-folk, indie pop. themes include religious trauma, manipulative and abusive relationships, and overcoming trauma

which witch by florence + the machine: alternative/indie pop. themes include witch hunts, revenge, defying societal norms, and unhealthy/unstable relationships

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most! Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

I must say I do not have the energy right now, so please please please (!!!) if you see this and you want to, feel tagged! Yes, you. Feel tagged and tell me what beautiful things you are listening to!!

Also @fireheartedpup. I am sorry but I am really curious.

So you've answered an ask about your top 5 songs 🎶 before and I kinda wanted to know which songs impacted 2024 for you? 🎵 Doesn't even have to be 5.

also HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊🍾

Well, first of all have a happy new year yourself, anon! Secondly, I'm actually flattered you like my music taste? Read More because... long.

- The Moon Will Sing - The Crane Wives | fits one of my OTPs very well and like, just listen to it? the flow, the lyrics, the melody - kinda love at first listen. - Curses - The Crane Wives | another banger, very catchy beat imo and of coure the lyrics. - Allies or Enemies - The Crane Wives | was/is still fitting to personal circumstances, also enjoy the flow/melody. - Zukunft Pink - Peter Fox ft. Inéz | german! was pretty popular in 2023 and as most things by Peter Fox the lyrics are #deep (no seriously, you can also find a fun diss at Elongated Muskrat in there) - Nachbeben - Alligatoah | german! another #deep song that tackles our exposure to the increasingly toxic social media landscape and what it does to our heads, also the music video and beat! - WEISSE ZÄHNE - Alligatoah ft. Bausa | german! two of my fav rappers, Alligatoah tried his hands at a heavy metal rap album and while it's def not 100% real metal, much less heavy there were some great songs on it and this is one of them. about eerily fake people and their perfectly 'white teeth'. IRL fitting. - A Dangerous Thing - AURORA | everything she puts out is great in some way or another, it's just that this applied IRL so it's on this list. - Espresso - Good Neighbours (cover of Sabrina Carpenter's) | I wasn't too hooked on the original and after landing on Sabrina's cover of 'Good Luck, Babe!' I ventured out to see if there were any covers of her songs and jfc, it's so... catchy? so very different? very 2010ish vibes. - The Night We Met - Lord Huron | according to Youtube Wrapped I listened to this song over 9k times and that's kinda concerning. not sure how that happened but suddendly I could only listen to this song. also fits one of my OTPs and I'm still super into them so... well, how about a comeback? been a while. - Heavy - Linkin Park ft. Kiiara | personally fitting. - Neunzig - Apache 207 | german! just a fun song that doesn't take itself that serious. - Was weißt du schon - Apache 207 | german! about growing up and living in a certain way of poverty, our 'ghettos' are called blocks (der Block) and it's specifically refering to those 8+ stories tall buildings that are mostly social welfare apartments. tiny, dingy, crowded, crime, foreigners, immigrants - you know. - Therapie - BRKN | german! for one I love his voice and secondly, the theme/subject fits my reallife. about admitting your not doing well mentally, slowly becoming a bit unhinged, recognizing your own toxic traits and even becoming more toxic towards your partner. well, it's called 'therapy' after all. - 100km/h - Bausa | german! about sticking together through tough times, about the ups and downs in life, not recognizing yourself after a while, yearning for love. again fitting. and I LOVE the harp in this, it's a special version and I def like this over the og version. and another case of 'the voice' for me. - Bullet - Hollywood Undead | this definitly got ample playtime in 2024. - Good Luck, Babe! - Chappell Roan | this was what got me hooked, I only started listening to her on the literal last day of August and then she took over my playlists. her voice is just... WOW. the vibrato, the flips, her range, everything! especially the way most of her songs are very 80s/90s vibe-ish which is just my thing. - Red Wine Supernova - Chappell Roan | already wrote a paragraph, also listen to her live recordings because those studio records don't do her voice justice. - My Kink Is Karma - Chappell Roan | didn't hook me at first but then it just clicked. can't never not do the 'YOU' flip when I listen to it. - Too Sweet - Hozier | at first I completly got the message of that one wrong, took me a few listens to go 'uh wait a sec lmao'. regardless, this year I fell down the Hozier rabbit hole and jfc, I missed out on so much! not sure why I didn't follow him after 'Take Me To Church' came out because THAT definitely had me hooked back then. also IRL applicable. - Nobody's Solider - Hozier | great song with a strong message. I'm sure there'll be more Hozier on my playlist this year.

Honorable mentons: - Caravan Palace, just got into them again oof ♥ electro swing, that direction if you're inclined - Lone Digger - Caravan Palace (I believe I've read that they're doing pretty much all of their sound effects themselves and not with sampling etc? also they sound SO GOOD live.) - Hozier in general, the music feels very healing? personal? idk but it's nice to listen to, like really listen to the messages of the songs. - anything AURORA, same as for Hozier but her music just feels good and her approaching so many different issues and topics with her songs ♥

Once again thank you for the ask, I had a lot of fun putting this together! This was the post they were refering to btw.

Five-Star Reads for February 2025

[dragonsdemer]

I did open a twitter acc recently (along with my other bigilion accs on youtube, insta, tiktok and pinterest) but yk what fuck it I'm only gonna be active on here and use all my other platforms purely for posting art bcs nowhere makes me feel comfortable enough but here.

Like somehow the mutual understanding of the "don't like don't interact" fandom culture here makes me feel safe.

Anywho, I'm looking for mutuals to make this place a little more fun. I like arcane, baldurs gate 3, interview with the vampire, mythology of all kinds, life is strange, disco elysium, aurora, the crane wives, the amazing devil, big theif, lady lamb and many more. I make art whenever I feel like it :)

@dragonsdemeralso is my blog as well, I only use this one actively but since that is the main blog my account is tied to, I follow ppl back from there. (Tumblr doesn't allow me to follow back from here) If anyone knows how to fix that, it would be appreciated too. <3

[angelellipsis-devilofdots]

i can't particularly handle listening to unfamiliar music, like it's weirdly stressful for me. i mean i will listen to new music if it's similar to the bands/genres i like. but if you play me something completely different than what i'm used to, especially if it's super loud or high pitched at any points, i probably will not like it unfortunately. but at least i have my like 3 comfort artists and numerous fantasy soundtracks to save me afterwards
