i’m so here for authors with little-known physical disabilities giving them to characters. like yes give that criminal boss a cane. give that dragon fighter EDS. fuck it up babe.

[aphroditesmoon]

to the people who follow me for my book content, these are some authors that i no longer support:

pierce brown: one of the earliest authors to share the "i stand with israel" posts. (I guess rebellions are only cool for plot points. I loved red rising but ive always found it to be a whitewashed version of the hunger games, and b4 u go "but hunger games characters r white too!!" No theyre not. Katniss was supposed to have darker skin. The movie franchise whitewashed her.)

sarah j maas: has made it clear that her grandmother was in the IDF and is proud of her israeli heritage. I liked her when i was like 14. I grew to realise just how much queerbaiting and subtle racism there is in her books.

victoria aveyard: i loved her for a very long time, red queen was the series that pulled me back into reading and she have been one of my biggest inspiration in being a writer, but she had made a statement of standing in neutrality, and she have made a tiktok of her Starbucks order while everyone is trying to boycott starbucks for their donation to israel. I hope her words and actions are only of ignorance and that she'll learn to do better soon. but until then, I've completely lost my respect for her.

•••••••••••••••

IN RETURN: HERE ARE SOME AUTHORS WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING AND DONATING TO PALESTINE AND WRITE AMAZING BOOKS:

- Rebecca F. Kuang: The poppy war trilogy, yellowface, Babel.

- Olivie Blake: The atlas six trilogy, One for my enemy, Alone with you in the ether, Masters of death.

- VE Schwab: A darker shade of magic series, The invisible life of Addie Larue, This savage song (monsters of verity) duology.

- Chloe Gong: These violent delights duology.

- Faridah abike iyimide: Ace of Spades.

- Leigh Bardugo: The grishaverse, Ninth house.

- Tracy Deonn: Legendborn series.

- Xiran Jay Zhao: Iron widow series.

maybe the reason why men in books are so attractive is bc they’re usually written by women

[marsneedstherapy]

something about a duology where the first book is very clearly structured and organized, and the second book is just a lot more unhinged and chaotic, just EATS for me

i miss shadow and bone (tv show) i think maybe i am a YA or romantasy fan but i just don't like cliches and spice. the show was so well done and good and fun and yet i can never have that vibe again.

What to read next

The love which this anonymous young woman harbours for Maxim comes burning through. Which is part of the problem; her character is just too emphatic for a role requiring the very absence of intensity which Max longs for after the volatility of Rebecca. Also, although Olivier clearly allows the camera to favour Vivien, his performance is muted, somewhat uncommitted. That hint of doubt in his letters seeps into his playing. Much later he did admit: ‘The worst part of it was I really did not want her to get the part.’ He claimed that with the strain of their divorce worries and the European situation it was perhaps better ‘to have a little vacation from constant togetherness’ which seems special pleading considering that they had been apart for most of the past few months. Very possibly – and given his on-set coolness to Joan Fontaine, finally cast – he wanted Rebecca to be primarily his film; he was now a major star, with his brooding Heathcliff image dominating posters all over America, and might well have been reluctant to co-star with someone whose star-power after Gone With the Wind was released might match – or eclipse – his own. If Vivien sensed any of this, she kept quiet.

Ok, but why are my ships like this:

“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”

Kaz to Inej, Crooked Kingdom (chapter 12)

But she saw Roman rise from the grass. He was only five meters away. He could no longer run; he could hardly walk. Her heart broke when she realized he had crawled through the gold to reach her.

Iris seeing Roman trying to reach her, Divine Rivals (chapter 41)

I'm fine. Fuck.
