dracula reads like its a silly gay self-insert fanfic of what must surely be some other *original* dracula source material but, no, the original is Just Like That. jonathan is a dumbass and drac is a weirdo and a teaboo who wants to smooch him so bad and its incredible

Reading the Stormlight Archives for the first time, I'm almost 300 pages(270) into words of radiance, and I just want Moash and Kaladin to kiss already. I just got to the part where Moash asks Kaladin about Amaram and I stg the romantic tension has to be intentional. Kaladin "whips around to face him" Moash talks about noticing how Kaladin looks when no one else does, Kaladin's to hurt to finish he sentence properly so Moash does it for him "the last place I fought before...' Moash gesture to Kaladin's forehead 'That's his work then?" He takes Kaladin by the arm, looking into his eyes, and pledges they'll get their revenge together while so passionate that angerspren start to swarm around him. Tell me this isn't some of the most romantic shit I've ever read!

There is no way. There's actually no way.

Aira stopped playing piano because Kouki stopped playing?

Reading the Riordanverse for the first time over a decade late

Even if they're "brown as a roasted coffee bean" ty for my Creole rep Rick 🙌🏽. Hazel is Percy's little sister and I won't take any takes to the contrary.

I started to listen to Throne of glass and i think I derserve a cookie for that.

Bcause it is not at all motivating to start the series when everyone says that it only gets good from the third freaking book onwards and gurl I can see why 😀

I am half done and It is rather boring. There where few moments where I chuckled but that's it. The only think I liked this far is Nehemia and that I can't see how Celaena will end up with Chaol when Dorian is right there.

A White Knight Batjokes Masterpost because I need to read this...

Let me start with the issue number 1 from October 4th,2017.

Look at their height difference, please

Ok, so this start with Bruce so obsessed with their chasing that he doesn't mind destroying the houses, almost running over the citizens or listening to Barbara for that matter... Joker is the only thing he sees or hears apparently. (So it's just a normal Batman Issue lmao)

And they get alone, Joker gives feedback about Batman's performance, like he is his mission, his best purpose.

"we're gotham's favorite power couple" 🫦

You are not beating the distancer allegations like you think you are Batsy Boy, he says shit like this (Ugh I don't care about you Joker bleh) but never does something about it. Anyway, Joker gets "hurt" and decides to just throw everything in Bruce's face, all the problems batman has, insecurities, secrets, anger...

💔 My heart

The tears, the fucking tears... This is so heartbreaking man. And after Batman shoves all the pills into joker's mouth like an ashole, we get the most beautiful, hunting and sad panel in this comic.

Bruce will have some problems concerning Alfred's health, will shut himself more but still searches about the pills joker is taking (I dOnT cArE aBoUt YoU 🤡). Joker now The Jack Napier starts thinking about the relationship between the three people: Him, Joker and Batman.

(Shout out to Bruce 'you mean nothing to me' wayne watching Joker in his cell)

Am I Overreacting, overanalyzing? I will never know because DC never allows Joker to be human and when he shows just a tiny ass glimpse, he just get tossed aside like nothing (Arthur Fleck my beloved), but this is another take how Joker/Jack hates himself, is depressed, insecure, has no purpose until he meets Batman and he has no other healthy way to cope or to approach Batman because of his trauma and mental health, which is a shame... Jack/Joker is extremely intelligent, goofy, a mastermind, an expert chemist, even ticking Batman's braincells to solve riddles and clues in some comics like C'MON!

And he is so intelligent, scoring so high in tests, that he uses in his favor here.

And Jack tells how he is feeling, the first important feeling...

'Heartbroken' 🤧 (I love that he is freeing himself so flawlessly lmao).

Anyway, now Jack's mission is to be The White Knight against The Dark Knight, Joker, everybody... Ok... Let's see the next issue...

🦇 Off Topic 🃏

Batjokes Fandom what are your thoughts about this whole issue? What is the theory and consensus that you guys have?

[delayednerd]

John loving practical jokes and magic is so incredibly endearing to me right off the bat. He is SILLY and FUN LOVING and just a little guy. I love him so dearly.

He has such an active imagination which you can tell a lot from his narration style!! I think the unique POV that they use offers a great view into his personality and character because we literally get to see how he processes and describes the world around him!!

one thing on my first read of TBOSAS I’m loving is how Suzanne C is still having me hooked basically 10 years after I first read the hunger games🫨 I will say I’m genuinely curious how this ends and excited/nervous to watch the movie lol

Encourage yourselves daily while it is still "today," so that none of you may grow hardened by the deceit of sin."

Just about to read jane Austins "pride and prejudice" for the first time

i take it back its in Japanese hold on wtf

[achilleid]

Im on ch 4 of Fourth Wing and while Violet is growing on me, Xaden is a hard sell. Typical Rhysand clone-- not my thing. But that's okay cause I'm not really all that interested in the romance, so hopefully it isn't too dominating in the story.

[jazzymolly]

I'm just a few pages into reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and I already have many thoughts, but the most proment right now is something my grandfather used to say:

"El orgullo es pecado por algo" (Pride is a sin for a reason)
