Secret santa here with a snippet! Trying to go hard with pining Rhys and oblivious Feyre for this one 💕
"Good morning, Feyre darling," Rhysand drawled, the way he always greeted her.
"It's noon, Rhys," Feyre said. The nickname might have been overly familiar, but Feyre had noticed his eyes glittered like stars whenever she used it with him. And besides, after being up since dawn, she wasn't inclined to fall over herself currying favor with someone who'd just rolled out of bed.
"Then let me be the first to tell you that you look delicious this afternoon."
Feyre rolled her eyes, positive she looked the farthest thing from delicious in her threadbare leggings and sweater. If it were anyone but Rhys, she would have been sure they were being cruel. But he had enough of her goodwill that he could pay her teasing compliments and not end up with his teeth bashed in for his trouble.
IM SCREAMING
Me already like:
I'm trying to so hard to piece together what's happening here 👀 Analyzing every little detail tyring to figure out what world we're in outside of the delicious feysand flirting hehehe
I've reread this so many times 🤤 I'm already so feral for the mooning Rhys and exasperated Feyre dynamic. Thank you for sharing it with me!! 🙏
This little cutie escaped culling today. He was one of the identical black ones so he never really got a name. Unlike his brothers who would try to bite me or act very skittish he would tidbit and dance so of course he doesnt get turned into tasty soup. His behavior being different is likely because his mother isnt Taffy or Smores further cementing i have made a good decision to retire them.
Anyway i actually had someone on standby who wants a cockerel for their ladies but they hate large fowl roosters so this boy is perfect for them. He is getting picked up tomorrow, till then i have been calling him Lucky

she's quiet for a moment, fingers messing with the end of her sweater. she doesn't know where she gets the confidence to say the words she does. ' maybe. but by then - you'll have lost me for good. so what is more important to you ? ' she knows the answer to it. they both do. but she needs him to say it to her. to her face. ' your family ? your child ? or your nocturnal activities with your friends ? '
Watching Heartbreak High on Netflix rn and the ace rep has me ready to burst. The whole conversation around feeling/not feeling desire and it not being a matter of ‘just finding the right person’- delicious
I love dunmeshi for the like.. built in horror of consumption. Like they eat to survive, they eat to honor their prey, they eat to possibly mourn someone. Laios eats monsters because he wants to learn more about the things he loves, Senshi eats monsters to feel included in the ecosystem because he didn't fit in with the outside and with most creatures in general, Chilchuck DOESN'T eat as much as he could because eating too much could kill all the party members, Marcille eats monsters and hates it but she still does it because she'll die before she could save Falin.
don’t mind me, just nosing in here to second the Slay the Princess recommendation that game is SO GOOD!!! and if you’ve played it yourself, do you have a favourite route? I’m tied between the Nightmare and the Stranger (Mark was so close to getting it, it was such a shame 😔)

AH!! HI!! HELLO THERE!!!! I'm so sorry for not answering this sooner, I somehow didn't get a notification for this!!!
I've sadly only seen Mark play through it so far, and I don't have the money to get the game and play through it myself atm, but the playthroughs from both Insym and Manlybadasshero are currently on my watch later. Part of me wants to hold off watching until I can play through it myself, though. Hopefully I'll be able to get a job by the end of the year, and I'll be able to play it then!!
Out of the paths that I have seen so far, I really like The Nightmare (especially with the path Mark took through that chapter. I saw Manlybadasshero play the Wraith route, and they're both good, but I think I like the MC breaking just a little bit better), and The Prisoner (I haven't seen what happens when you talk to her, but I've heard of it, and I like how there's clues for you to pick up on. Also, that route is how you get to The Grey, and I'm a sucker for drowning tropes). I also like The Damsel, purely because the Voice of the Smitten is so fuckin goofy.
Also YES!!! SOMEBODY ELSE WHO GETS IT!!!!! SLAY THE PRINCESS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE WHO HASN'T EXPERIENCED IT!!!!
I'm a sucker for looping narratives like that in general lol. When In Space With Markiplier came out, I was all over that too. I could easily go on a whole massive rant -- write an entire fucking essay -- about how, if you think about it, ISWM is actually secretly a horror story, or at least, has some really horrific aspects to it. I could go on for so fucking long about the purely unfathomable amounts of death and murder that happen in that story. Genuinely, seriously, if someone is interested, lmk, send in an ask or something, I will infodump and essay the SHIT out of you.
Time loops and adjacent tropes are absolutely some of my favorites. It's right up there with meta narratives-- I love watching characters and stories break the 4th wall. Actually, now that I think about it, Slay The Princess does that too lol.
But yeah! Thanks for the ask!! Glad to see someone else around here who loves that game too!! And sorry again for not answering this sooner, booooo to the notifications for not notifying me. Hope you're having a lovely day/night/life!!!
