I keep seeing everyone posting about Jimmy Buffet's passing, and all I can think about is the summer job I had where the regional manager required us to listen to Jimmy Buffet and only Jimmy Buffet. Margaretaville triggers my fight or flight response.

Sapphic Books Reccs

Here is my list of recommended sapphic books! There’s a lot of YA here since that’s a lot of what I read. Everything on this list I have personally read and can recommend. I’m sure there’s a TON out there I haven’t read or ones I have read and have just forgotten!

Best friends to lovers! A big piece of this is also the friend group involved.

Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli (YA)

Imogen thinks she’s just an Ally. Spoiler alert: she’s not. I loved the way friendship was explored in this. You see some really solid friendships as well as a subtly toxic one (that’s acknowledged as such).

Thriller/Horror

Hide by Kiersten White (Adult)

A high-stakes hide and seek competition in an abandoned amusement park. One of my all-over favorite books of 2022.

House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland (YA)

No wlw romance in this one, but the main character and her sister are both wlw. My absolute favorite book of 2021. What I would pay to read this for the first time again.

The queer Little Women retelling we all deserve with a SAPPHIC JO! Set in 1942. Beth’s POV still haunts my heart

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray (YA)

Two of the major supporting characters are WLW. This becomes more important and on the page in the later books in this series, but this is the first one.

Music from Another World by Robin Talley (YA)

1970s California. Two girls become penpals and bond over music.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Adult)

Personal thoughts:

I gotta say, I'm still feeling incredibly ambivalent about this book.

I mean, a Mystique/Destiny wedding is great! Ya love to see it and its long overdue, but I think this would've been better served as a one-shot alongside the main pride story this rather, rather than in place of it.

Most of these stories sound really fun, like for example: a Rogue/Gambit side story involving a wedding band mishap! That sounds hilarious!

But, for a Pride-centric issue, its really lacking in the Pride department. No one outside of the x-books this year, and even the x-couples are lacking!

I mean, to name a few: Northstar and Kyle, Rictor and Shatterstar, Iceman and whoever he's dating right now (lol), Cerebella and Escapade, Akihiro and Aurora (he's still bi, straight-passing relationship or not), the list goes on!

I don't know, I'm just frustrated. The stories themselves seem fine, its just the branding/packaging that's rubbing me the wrong way, if that makes sense.

Except the Wolverine story. We literally have a confirmed/canon queer member of the snikt fam (who, at bare minimum, has had a flirtation with Mystique as well), and he's still ded :(

Like, if they wanted a Wolverine-centric story, why not have Gabby finally explore her sapphic feelings for that girl on the bus? Let her have a little heart-to-heart with Akihiro, drag Logan to a Pride parade (then, he accidently gets roped into a side quest involving a group of short trans-mascs, ending with Logan buying them a round of beers). My point is, there are ways to add your money-maker character into stories while still respecting your target audience.

I don't know. My feelings are complicated.

When Fire meets Ice

Part 1

Paring: Hyunjin x Felix  Genre: BL Word Count:  687 Warnings: the content in this story may be +18 in later parts. Please consider it before reading.

When the cold hearted Prince of Fire meets sweet little sunsine, The King of Winter, everything changes.

Masterlist

Authors note: that’s the first BL story I have ever written in my life. I hope you would enjoy it. It’s not a long story it’s divided in six parts. There’s no Y/N here. The story is about Hyunjin and Felix. I was inspired by one TikTok I saw in winter.

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

“Love? What is love? It’s something unexpected that comes and goes. Sometimes it’s fast and warm like a summer rain, and sometimes it’s deep like an ocean. Love can be anything. It can be a word, a touch, a smell. You can love unconditionally or under the worst circumstances. But the truth about love is that you cannot force it. If you are meant to be, it will come. So let’s not force it, Felix. Let’s just it be.”

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

Lee Felix, THE KING. That was a new title that a young prince was going to have after his late father passed. He felt anxious. How was he going to do it? How would he manage it? Of course, he was being prepared to step into his father’s shoes since he was a little boy, but that was different. He wasn’t ready. He didn’t feel ready. Not yet.

His father passed away after the Winter Solstice Celebration, which was one of the most important festivals in Winter Heart City, the capital of The Winter Kingdom. Unfortunately, Felix was the only heir that actually could take after his father. His two sisters weren’t taken into consideration because of the current law that women cannot rule the state. Felix thought this was really unfair. His older sister Rachael was definitely a better candidate than he was.

He was trembling. His whole body didn’t want to cooperate. He was going to become a king, the most important person in the whole country. But somehow he felt as if he was about to collapse into the ground in a moment. What if he can’t make it? What if this role is too much? Deep down he knew, he had to gather up his guts and take what was his since birth.

“Oi Felix? Are you ready?” His personal guard and also best friend, asked, picking his head through the door.

“I guess so. I’m nervous Chan.” The young man sighed.

“Don’t worry, mate. You are the perfect person for this role, believe that.” Chan smiled warmly, stepping into Felix’s room. “My prince, it’s time.” He bowed with a sassy smile. He knew that Felix didn’t like the titles.

“I told you not to call me that.” Felix smiled slightly.

“Of course, your wish is my command.” He winked. “Should I call you My King then?”

“Oh fuck off.” Felix rolled his eyes and both men started laughing.

“But seriously Lix, we have to go like now. Everyone’s waiting.” Chan suddenly got serious. “You know, you are becoming a king, but the queen mother is still in charge… and she scares me.”

“You know my mother loves you, like her own son.” Felix remained him. After all, his parents adopted Chan when he was little.

“Doesn’t change the fact that she scares me.” Chan smiled a little. “Ready?”

“Yeah. Let’s do it.” The prince nodded and went after Chan, who led him to the throne room where the coronation was to take place. The new era for the Winter Kingdom has come.

—---------------------------

“Hey, Hyunjin! Hey! Have you heard?!” The loud voice was heard before his owner showed up. “Have you heard the news?!” The young man, panting, entered the slightly dark bedroom, where the other was currently painting.

“What Han?” The tall man rolled his eyes and looked annoyed at the man, who had entered his room. “What did I tell you about disturbing me when I paint?”

“Yeah, yeah I know. But this is important.” Han smiled a little and handed the tall one an elegant white envelope sealed with a gold seal. “It’s from The Winter Kingdom.” He explained.

“The Winter Kingdom?” Hyunjin stood up. “What is the occasion? They don’t like to play with us.”

“The king had passed away and apparently his son took after.” Han said, scratching the back of his neck. “At least that’s what I…”

“Yes, indeed.” Hyunjin interrupted him, reading the letter himself. “Hm, that’s interesting.”

“What? What is it?” Han was looking curiously.

“Apparently, we are invited to meet the new king.” Hyunjin smirked a little sassy. “What unexpected news it is! Prepare the carriage and let my brother and Changbin know. We are going to meet this new king of them.” He ordered nonchalantly.

“Yes sir!” Han bowed deeply.

“And Han?” Hyunjin raised one eyebrow looking at his younger friend. “Never disturb my painting ever again. Is that clear?” His voice was stern. Han swallowed the gulp that had formed in his throat.

“Y-yes my prince.” He said and quickly left Hyunjin’s bedroom to fulfill his duties. Sometimes Hyunjin was really scary.

Maya Sulliway (Rachael Leigh Cook) Summer Love (2016) Directed by Lynne Stopkewich 2/ 2

[penguicorns-are-cool]

So a lot of YA books don't reflect actual teenage/young adult lives and issues which I think is a big issue. A LOT of YA books have a heavy focus on romance, which is fine, but that means it can be hard to find books about literally anything else that happens in an adolescent's life like mental illness, friendships, college choices, hardships with school, any of these things but as a marginalized person. The YA books I read when I first started reading YA were not great and led me to develop not so great ideas about what I should be and do and what the world around me would be like and was all over not great for 8th grade me. So I want to start a thread listing good YA books.
