I took like 6 hours to make this so I thought I'd share it here too!

Me at the start vs the end(ish) of series, Ruby Dixon universe edition!

TW: for badly done fake brusies/injuries.

I'm kinda nervous posting myself here but here we go 🥲

Kivian visiting Jutari on Risda, briefly considering if he could give up pirating and become a farmer reminded me of this episode of Schitts Creek.

“Be gentle with her.” “I’m always gentle.” “No, you aren’t.” “I’m not getting out of this bed to murder you for not letting me sleep, am I? That’s pretty keffing gentle if you ask me.”

Looking Back at the Books I Read in March 2023

Looking back at everything I read in March 2023 and briefly sharing my thoughts on those books.

This past month started with a reading slump. I couldn’t concentrate on reading. Every time I tried, I got maybe one chapter in before getting bored or completely unfocused. Not to mention, I spent a lot of time writing and playing video games. With that being said, I did manage to read some books. Though not as many as I usually do. And most of those were read in the second half of March. So,…

I’ve been making my way through the greater Ruby Dixon books universe and I’m currently on her Corsairs series and they talk about how much the Mesakkah like noodles so I have had such a craving for ramen!!!

[whatsgnat]

Ok... I went in to Corsairs Straik with no expectations....

But I certainly didn't expect to melt for the emo virgin lordling

Holy shit that book is SO good. Why did no one warn me?! AND WHY IS THERE NO FANART

corsairs bethiah spoilersssssssss i want to vent

LIKE.........i don't hate rhonda. i actually feel really sorry for her. she's manipulative and a complete snob but like, she didn't become that way on her own nor was it her choice to become who she is.

how else was she supposed to survive???? it's a cutthroat world she was thrown into without her consent. i don't agree with or condone the actions she's taken but that doesn't mean she deserves to die.

plus rhonda has to be, i would assume, around her mid-30s or late-30s, by the way she's described. she's considered old goods. and she's constantly being replaced by younger women, so ofc she's desperate!!! she wants to live!!! and her nagging about her skincare and lotions isn't out of vanity, it's out of necessity. i do think when she was pointing out all of dora's nonexistent flaws that it was coming from a genuine place of concern (and she was being manipulative lol but i support women's wrongs <3). she's been treated as nothing and like her only value is her beauty. so of course, she will only view other humans in that same light. who knows how long she's been taken from earth. like !!! come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also like a little bit of my feelings are coming from when a few weeks ago i was listening to you're on your own kid by tswift right after reading a chapter and the bridge made me think of rhonda lmao and i felt like, immense sympathy for this poor woman.

i also feel bad that her items and belongings are being sold without her consent. like those are the only things she possesses.

IDK I'M JUST RHONDA'S SUPPORTER. RHONDA REDEMPTION ARC!!!!!!!!!

also she said she sold other women off, i wonder if she actually helped them??

[timetravellingshinigami]

For anyone who likes a good alien romance with plot and smut👌👌 I

happily give some recommendations .

There's one which give me Miles Quaritch x reader/oc vibes 😏

Obviously if you love big blue aliens (Na'vi)

You gotta check out Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

You can also go on the tag #iceplanetbarbarians and you'll find memes and art. It's a big fandom for this series.

There's a spinofff series of this called CORSAIR Brothers

And the first book ADIRON

Has a hilarious hero who's goofy and a himbo. Personal favourite 👌

Next if you want aliens who are very Na'vi like in culture but also don't hesitate to use technology then this one is for you

The Ash Planet Warriors

It's a spin off of the series Garrison Earth.

There are three races here the Vetusian, Jal'zar i.e The Ash Planet Warriors and Humans. The humans and Jal'zar are invaded by the Vetusians.

My favourite book in the spin off is this

Enemies to loves, political marriage. Here's a summary

I won’t touch her. But I will torment her soul. While the other warlords mate with the daughters of our enemy, I want nothing to do with these political marriages. Fate calls me north, searching for what the shamans say will complete my soul.

Now in the Garrison Earth series the last book is very interesting.

It's the Miles Quaritch x reader/oc fanfics but in a book 👇👀👀

Claimed

I conquered her planet and pillaged her body. Now I’m back for her heart.

A decade ago, I brought war to Solgad, home of the Jal’zar. I sacked the planet and slaughtered the people, all to save my race from extinction. Until one of their female warriors hissed defiance, promising me death at her hands no matter how her body longed for mine.

Each night, she came to end me, only to succumb to the raw urges of her mating heat.Each night, I gave her hungry womb what it needed, the way we coupled neither safe nor sane.

I was the enemy she couldn’t kill.She was the female I couldn’t have.

Together, we unleashed chaos.

Many solar cycles after the occupation, I return to Solgad, searching the ashen plains for her: my soulmate. This time, I will claim the Jal’zar female as mine, and nobody will get in the way.

Not even myself.

If you can, do read the entire series first if you want to know a little back story of the male character.

Now on to a villian from a different series

Zorus from Redeeming Zorus by Laurann Dohner.

Here's an enthusiastic comment about the character

Zorus, You Evil Bigot, M*ther F@cking, Sadistic Bastard!!! I have HATED You for SOOO LONG. Now I have to read your Love Story!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway here's what's he's all about: Zorus is a member of the Ruling Council that governs cyborgs. His orders are law and must be obeyed. But Zorus is a sick bastard. He hates humans with a passion, and has been an evil terror to all cyborg males that have attempted to take a human female as a mate. He has gone as far as ordering them to be killed under the pretense that they were Earth Government spies searching for cyborgs.

But in a way his intense hate is justified. It's like if a Na'vi wanted to kill all the humans and Avatars (even the good ones), and all the hybrid children, because of what the RDA has done in Pandora.

Obviously this book is part of a series.

I'm sorry this spiralled into Alien villains but here's the last one

The Fractured Mate

Comments on the book:

Halian was so damned evil in previous books, I couldn't possibly imagine how he could be redeemable. But DAMN if our author didn't come up with the absolute most genius, creative, plot twist of an explanation!

Again part of a series of many interesting alien characters. Best to read those so you get an idea of how bad Halian is.

Now three other good alien books (not a villain main character)

Heart's Prisoner by Olivia Riley

He's not like anything Lana has ever encountered.

Asset X: Massive, deadly, a little terrifying to say the least. A devilish warrior. And a killer. Captured on a hellish world after attacking a military campsite and now imprisoned in a state-of-the-art cell inside one of the military’s top bases--Lazris.

And Lana has been assigned to "study" him. To learn his secrets and gain his trust, if he is ever allowed to set foot out of his cell. As a top behaviorist, it is the biggest hurdle of her career.

Very alien looking hero and mostly from the FMC point of view so there's a whole lot of mystery around him and what he's thinking. When we talking alien this dude is very alien. Also, it's a slow burn. Definitely no attraction at first sight. Actually we're all terrified 😂

Next is Classified Planet: Turongal of The Darvel Exploratory Systems

Cottonwood by R.Lee. Smith

Have you seen District 9? If you haven't please do..one of the best Sci fi alien movies out there. Anyway this book has the same kind of aliens. And a sort of similar plot. It feels like a fanfiction if that movie but it's different from the book too. All the characters are well written and brilliant plot. If 'Hearts Prisoner ' hero is a 7 on the "how alien does he look?" scale, the aliens in this book are a 9.

Argurma Salvager #1 Broken Earth

☝️ Hero's features inspired by the Predator in Alien vs Predator movies.

Saving Askara #1 Saving Askara

This has :

First contact

Slow burn (almost all the books i mentioned are slow burn)

Learning the cultures (Ash Planet also is about learning a different culture.)

Anyway these are some of my favorites and the best sci-fi alien romance i love till date ❤️ obviously there'are many more that I've probably forgotten 😅

[theladyofbloodshed]

fellow ruby dixon fans... i wasn't following the ruby-verse order but now i'm trying to... two questions

do i need to go back and read prison planet barbarian

do these corsairs ones pick up? I'm finding them super dull

[eddiebrockx]

For anyone interested, here is my interpretation of the Rainbow Carinoux from the IPB series.
