Sexypink - Out of the blocks for 2024. What a delight that a book begins the year.

From Dr Marsha Pearce's Facebook page...

I am happy to announce the release of Black Light Void: Dark Visions of the Caribbean. The book is an edited collection of paintings by Trinidadian artist Edward Bowen and six short-story responses to Bowen's work, written by Trinidadian award-winning writers Kevin Jared Hosein, Barbara Jenkins, Sharon Millar, Amílcar Presi Sanatan, Portia Subran and Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw.

As Editor, Dr Marsha Pearce states...

With this book project, I ask: What stories lie beyond those experiences lit up by the sun–the light that is a defining feature of the tropics?

40 Before 40: One Year Update--

In 2021, I decided to start a new reading project that I called 40 Before 40 TBR which is a list of 40 books I want to read before I turn 40. I decided to do a full update since it’s been a year. I was looking over the list and realized there were a few books I read that I forgot were even on this list. So, let’s go over the books and what I rated them. As well, let’s see if I decided to continue on with the series for the ones that were the start of a series.

1. Failsafe by Traci Hunter Abramson (book #1 in the Guardians series)--rated 2.5 stars, did not continue the series. 2. Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard (book #1 in the Realm Breaker series)--rated 3.25 stars, did not continue the series. 3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vol. 1: High School is Hell by Jordie Bellaire--rated 2.5 stars, did not continue the series. 4. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot (book #1 in the Princess Diaries series)--rated 2 stars, did not continue the series. 5. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (book #1 in the Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland series)--rated 3 stars, did not continue the series. 6. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (book #1 in the Artemis Fowl series)--rated 3 stars, did not continue the series. 7. Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey (book #1 in the Expanse series)--rated 4.25 stars, DID continue the series. 8. Pines by Blake Crouch (book #1 in the Wayward Pines series)--rated 2.75 stars, did not continue the series. 9. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens--rated 3 stars. 10. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas--rated 3.5 stars. 11. Stardust by Neil Gaiman--rated 3.5 stars. 12. Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, 1.44 stars averaged. 13. The Humans by Matt Haig--rated 3 stars. 14. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro--rated 2 stars. 15. Fool Me Twice at Christmas by Camilla Isley--rated 3 stars. 16. Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (book #1 in the Howl’s Moving Castle series)--rated 3 stars, did not continue the series. 17. The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune--rated 4 stars. 18. Love Like This by Sophie Love (book #1 in the Romance Chronicles)--rated 2 stars, did not continue the series. 19. The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace (book #1 in the Women Are Some Kind of Magic series)--rated 5 stars, did not continue the series. 20. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (book #1 in the Gentleman Bastard Sequence)--rated 5 stars, DID continue the series. 21. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy--rated 4 stars. 22. The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis (book #1 in The Initial Insult duology)--rated 3.75 stars, DID continue the series. 23. Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne (book #1 in the Winnie-the-Pooh series)--rated 5 stars, did not continue the series. 24. Watchmen by Alan Moore--rated 2.42 stars averaged. 25. Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel (book #1 in the Themis Files)--rated 4 stars, DID continue the series. 26. If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio--rated 4 stars. 27. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery--rated 3 stars. 28. Lumberjanes Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy by Noelle Stevenson--rated 4 stars, DID continue the series.

Average rating: 3.28 stars which is a little lower than my monthly TBRs usually average out to, but considering it’s such a wider variety of books it’s not bad.

What did we find out from the project so far? Books that I pick for myself tend to do better than books I pick because they’re popular, because people say they should be read, or because it’s something I feel like I should have read by now. Not always the case, but mostly true. Oh, also that hyper fixation when mental health is poor IS actually a thing. Go figure.

Writing Goals 2024 pt 3

What writing projects am I the most excited about this year and why? The same book I’ve been excited about writing for a little over a year now. This thing doesn’t even have a title yet. For now I’m calling it ‘Kill Shot’ and it’s a supernatural romance. Ha ha ha! Yes friends, it’s a doozie, and if I can pull it off there will be all kinds of hotness, sweat, blood and tears. I’m going to rip out…

My page for @sheikahzine; about Impaz's duty to her village, empty of people and full of memories.

[id in alt text]

#legend of zelda #loz #twilight princess #loz tp #i'm still reeling that someone sent me an ask about this one.. that they took the time to find my tumblr and tell me they liked it #it really meant a lot; thank you to anyone that stops to leave comments like that. they make me happy #but yeah! here's the usual symbolism ramble:#i thought it'd be cool to have the 'spirits' flowing one way and the cats walking through them the other way #to kinda show the difference in life inhabiting the village in the past and present #link's face is covered because impaz was just waiting for 'the hero' so his clothes are what matters; not his face #and it (hopefully) gives a surreal and intangible sense to 'the hero' she could only hope would actually show up #you can feel free to interpret the glowy blue sheikah as ghosts or just as memories of the past! i couldn't decide either way #the one on the bottom left is oot impa since she's implied to be the village founder. so i guess she would be a ghost actually?#fan art #my art #project stuff #and ahhh the book-- everyone's stuff is so beautiful!!#especially the writing. some of the fics made me really tear up and some were so fun and clever. i really love them #a lot of them captured the sheer burden of the role of the sheikah; all of the time and grief and doubt #i know i always say this stuff about every project but. the people i get to work with in these are truly so skilled every time

too many books written by people who don't read books and only read fanfic. to counteract this there should be more fanfic made by people who don't read fanfic and only read books

#my posts #edit:#if you reblog this arguing against shit i never said please know that i hate you #and if you read this post as 'books are better than fanfiction' you don't get it.#either read it again and figure it out or ask a question or move on and say nothing #bc every time someone starts jumping to conclusions and projecting shit i don't believe onto me i take one step closer to becoming the joker

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

#projecting just a little lol #But also I’ve always been surprised that so many people seem to think Percy would like swim team?#Maybe it was mentioned offhand in the books or something #But Percy always struck me as a person who would hate being stuck swimming laps for no reason #Like he loves swimming but he hates being forced to swim a certain way #This kid gets one whiff of chlorine and “rules” for swimming and he is OUT #Rambling mood #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy pjo #hoo #heroes of olympus #pjo headcanon #rick riordan #pjo hoo toa #pjo fandom #pjo #headcanon

The "Sansa reminds Sandor of his sister" motive that some people try to hitch to his character really just flies in the face of his actual attachments to her, doesn't it? Sansa reminds Sandor of himself. He sees the little boy who used to love knights in this girl who's been swept up by the same romanticism. He sees his abuser in her abusers, the much larger knight(s) beating on the helpless child. He sees how she is betrayed by every level of authority that should have saved her and remembers his father's neglect and Tywin and Robert's apathy for Gregor's crimes. He's protective of Sansa because he was Sansa.

And GRRM's design, that one of the strongest warriors in the series, a fearsome and cynical 6'8" guy who's "muscled like a bull" and has the face of death itself, sees himself in this soft and effeminate teen girl, and empathizes with her because he was an abuse victim too, is INFINITELY more compelling than "Oh yeah I bet she just reminds him of his sister," who he's never mentioned and who we know literally nothing about. Way to unnecessarily water down a character, you couldn't have ignored the black and white text more efficiently if you tried.

#sorry for the rant i saw this sentiment in a yt video recently #sansa stark #sandor clegane #sansan #asoiaf #asoiaf meta #and this is only one facet of why he has so much affection for her too #these people act like his attachment to her is limited to projection and not also bc she treats him like he's an actual human being #or that they can be themselves when they're with each other -that he can openly show his weakness to her and be comforted and validated #or like even just the physical attraction aspect - which is so obvious that you'd have to be willfully ignorant to miss it #how do you read him trying to kiss her and come away thinking “he thinks of her as his sister” lmfao #things that make me feel like people dont actually read the books
