nakyalag, demiprince and scion of namira, and a character thats been in my head for a REALLY long time

he is the fly in your soup, the absurdly long strand of hair that breaks halfway through pulling it out of your mouth. he is primarially associated with food-based misfortune and bad harvest; when meat rots and milk curdles, he is to blame

he enjoys meddling in the affairs of mortals and revels in the few summonings and prayers he actually receives (i imagine most of his time is spent on nirn making his own chaos and starting people-drama). of the summonings he receives most of them are requests of misfortune upon others or pleas for bountiful harvest. there are probably better gods to pray to for the latter and he never truly fulfils them anyways, the monkey's finger curls, you know how it is

Tuvok-Chakotay dynamic should have gone from two people who are always poking at one another to two people who are always joking with one another - in both cases this is an unspoken thing. They’re playing a game of chicken that gets steadily less hostile. From “I’m not trying to be difficult here.” (lie) to “I’m not trying to be funny here.” (lie)

Happy the anime onlys getting introduced to Kenjaku just in time for October. He is a funky little brain villain with a wild personality piloting a body like an EVA.

Oh, me? Wanting to write something with a body snatchers theme for October? Well...

I'm trying to design the grinning thing and

For some reason. every single time I make a character whose like, explicitly fucked up and absolutely eats people, i make that character blond and twig thin. And now I'm struggling with that bc i don't need a third blond twink who craves man meat. But I also can not picture the grinning thing as being anything Besides bottle blonde. Which I guess makes them unique bc Bagri/Echo and Chase are both natural blonds. but still it Feels too similar and samey.

I know this blog literally has spooky twinks in the title, but dammit i want the twinks to be more aesthetically varried.

sometimes i still think about the eel oil skin care routine.

I'm just sitting here mentally telling myself 'I don't have to like him just because I find him attractive, I don't have to like him just because he's hot, I don't have to like him just because I like the character' over and over until I start to believe it

⭐ AND 👁 :3

⭐ Who's more likely to seek out attention from their partner?

FISH. deepsea is a little attention-craving monster they WILL find a way to get his attention if it kills them. generally hes pretty good at ignoring them if he wants to but a lot of the time its more about doing a Bit than it is actually ignoring hir.

👁 What's your favorite physical trait of your F/O? What's their favorite physical trait of yours?

MY FAVOURITE? god i dont know hes so hot. if i had to pick something i guess id go with his hands? theyre so fucking HUGE and hes got nice arms and i think. a lot. about his hands. because im normla. for his favourite uh. i dont actually know ive never really thought about it before. maybe how short they are? or how expressive their face is, i think hed find it cute and endearing...

So, Zim never expresses any confusion about what “parents” are and mentions passing his probing day inspection “like a slor-beast passes her young” so I have to assume that he knows what sex is even if his species doesn’t fuck. But like, it’s a universal constant that if something exists, it’s someone’s fetish. Which means there’s a non-zero chance of there being other alien races that find Irkens attractive, and Zim has probably at least heard of Irkens being hit on, if not experienced it himself. So would he even be shocked to find Earth porn of humans banging fictional aliens?

Radiance by Grace Draven

I finished this book in like 20 hours and that was with a full day of work involved and a reasonable night of sleep.

Not only because it was compelling, but also because it’s relatively short - my Kindle estimated about 6 hours to read it, and I probably read it in around 5.

The real treat to be savored here is the relationship between our leads. This one had been on my TBR for a long time, but because it looked a little darker, and a little more “enemies to lovers”, I was waiting until I was in the mood. I picked it up now though because it was an active book in the buddy read discord I’m in, and I was so pleasantly surprised.

Ildiko is a human woman, forsaken niece of an uncaring king and queen, who has been offered as a “good faith” bride to the Kai, a sort of demonic, vaguely magical race with whom this human kingdom requires an alliance.

Brishen is the second and youngest son of a cruel, vicious royal power couple. His elder brother has secured the family bloodline six times over, so Brishen is similarly unnecessary, and thus becomes the perfect groom for this human bride.

Ildiko is terrified by Brishen’s gray skin, wolf-like set of teeth, and long, sharp claws, and Brishen is disgusted and unsettled by Ildiko’s pale skin, “parasitic” eyes (fabulous descriptions and jokes here about the eyes by the way), and her square, horsey teeth.

And yet, from their very first meeting, they are instantly friends. They share a similar sense of humor, as well as a respectful approach to one another, and a reasonably happy acceptance that this is their lot in life. Both are happy to be ignored, forgotten, and left alone. They’re physically affectionate with one another from the get-go - lots of hugs and forehead kisses and hand-holding, and they immediately begin leaning on each other for strength and courage as they navigate increasingly fraught court politics and skirmishes hinting at a brewing war.

I could go into the politics and the impending war I guess but blah blah blah, the REALLY INTERESTING PART is the couple themselves, who are goals from the very beginning. Their immediate respect and like of each other naturally grows to a genuine trust, and they become best friends and confidantes, and then, all of a sudden, they can’t keep their eyes (or hands) off each other. It feels so natural and cute - their first sexual encounter doesn’t take place until over 50% of the way through the book, but it’s well worth the wait.

Will absolutely read book 2 to get more Ildiko and Brishen in my life. If you’re a fan of ACOTAR, The Bargainer series, or any kind of fantasy romance that highlights the relationship over the rest of the plot, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

⚠️WARNING⚠️

There is a fair amount of violence in this book, and one part in particular I wanted to call out because this is the kind of thing I personally like to know about. There is eye trauma in this book. A character loses an eye while being tortured. We do not see this happen, but there is a reasonably graphic description of the aftermath, as well as some discussion about the character learning to adjust with only one eye. In an especially hideous and cruel scene later, the eye in question makes a startling reappearance. JUST WARNING YOU because I hate eye trauma more than almost anything else and I wish I had known so I could be prepared.
