Intro because I need to make people aware of my interests NOW

Only DNI is people who draw trans boys with super hyperfeminine traits. I’ll block you if I find out you’re a weirdo so interact if you want and I’ll just have one less creep to worry about

My name is Scott and I am a boy a bbooooy and I kiss booooyyyyss (one boy) also my pronouns are HE/HIM ONLY

I like to draw and listen to music (shocker) + listening to & watching Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History

I LOVE RANFREN!!!! (Sorry to let you guys down..) I’ve made myself quite a few Ranfren themed things so just ask about them if you want me to show :3 (Actually, one dni. Sebastian and Randal shippers and Ivorycest shippers. Don’t think you’re safe because I like Ranfren too.)

I LOVE Christory (Liquid Chris, Alec Benson Leery/Asperchu, and Clyde Cash are my top 3 trolls [In that order]) and if you ask me about it I could yap for hours.

I LOVE SCOTT PILGRIM!!!! I’ve read all the books seen the movie and watched the show and I have figures (the minifigures too) and played the game Jesus Christ I’m a super fan

I like Cry of Fear. (stolen from my sweet boyfriend) I’ve played it 3 times but when I moved computers I lost all my data lol so now I’m on first run.

I like Postal. (Also stolen from him. He is a super fan and I love it sm hehe) I’ve played half of Postal, all of Postal 2 and Paradise Lost, about a quarter of Postal 4 so far lol.

I LOVE Splatoon+Splatbands. (Favorites are Disspair and Squid Squad. [I can’t fucking handle overfeminized Warabi with big hips and boobs sorry but…not. At all. Get off my page if you’re one of those bitches because I WILL be mean lol.]) I haven’t posted Ikkan and Warabi in a while but I’ll try to ASAP. Or I can just make a separate blog for Splatoon stuff if you guys want. I’ve played both Splat2 and Splat3’s story modes and online battles. (Including Octo expansion)

I LOVE 12RODS. (Favorite song is Red and my favorite album is Bliss) Funfact I was in top 0.005 last year.

I liVE Madoka Magica. I’ve only watched the series so far but I’m binging the movies. I have…..a self insert but that’s dumb.

I LOVE angels but I’m not gonna yap too much about that.

Hi hiiii /o/~ Your Secret Santa here again!

'Kay, I got you! A kid fic with sprinkles of fluff, angst and hurt/comfort ^_~ I can't wait for you to read the madness that will be this plot hehe~

Another question!

Do you have any preference for Malec? As in, do you prefer show Malec, book Malec or is either good? I know some people prefer one than another, and I'd like to use the one you like the most 🖤

I can't wait ❤️❤️❤️ as for Malec, I usually write show!Malec, but I like reading both, so really either is good 🥰 I mean taller Magnus and blue-eyed Alec work fine for me. Thank you for asking, that's so nice of you 😘

Outlander First Impressions: Chapter 7

Here is chapters 1-6 if you missed them.

“Thinking of that [young Jamie’s injuries] made me think of what caused them, and I felt a wave of resentment toward Colum.”

Oooooooh myyyyyyyy 😏

Claire is resentful of what happened to Jamie in the hall. And she is greatly bitter towards Colum for allowing Jamie to be treated as such while still injured. Or treated as such at all.

I’m telling you: Claire is deeply concerned with Jamie’s welfare even NOW. And it ain’t just because she is a nurse.

“No I definitely wasn’t going to be allowed simply to walk out of here, let alone be provided with transport and means to leave.”

This thought came to my mind for the first time reading this line—I have a wee theory as to why Claire is hesitant to fully release herself to love Jamie at first beyond sheer loyalty to Frank.

Claire is essentially a prisoner here. She has no freedom of choice. She has zero autonomy of action—and this transfers over even to her marriage with Jamie. She was “forced” to marry him as a means of protection.

Although JAMIE is constantly giving Claire a choice, the circumstances around her do not. Therefore, part of her, I feel, withholds from Jamie initially as a way to exert her own free will and her own choice.

However, the more Jamie loves her, serves her, honors her, and blesses her with free will in their marriage—she finally, against all contradictory efforts, yields to his love and let’s herself love him back.

“Had I actually chosen to come to this particular time because it offered some sort of haven from the whirling maelstrom?”

UH YES CLAIRE DARLING

AND THE HAVEN HAS A NAME: IT IS JAMES ALEXANDER MALCOLM MACKENZIE FRASER

Jamie: 1, Everybody Else: 0

@gotham-ruaidh has a phenomenal loop theory about how Jamie and Claire are drawn to each other—y’all should check out her blog because it’s brillaint!!

“Jamie was higher born and much better educated than most.”

Oh indeed Claire. You’re talking to Laird Broch Tuarach—no mere stable boy hehe

They actually filmed a scene for the show (that was cut 😬) where Jamie professes as much to Claire.

None the less, I love that both Jamie and Claire are intelligent and sharp individuals.

They can love one another’s minds along with body, soul, and heart.

“I had a sudden impulse to smooth it [his hair] for him, but resisted.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I tell you what: Claire is all about Jamie and the book makes this all the more clearer than even the show does at this point.

She yearns to interact with him in an intimate way beyond friendship

WELL GIRL YOU BETTER GET READY HEHEHEHEHEHE

“Even this Sassenach wench can no keep away from ye, and her a new widow.”

HAHAHAHAH OH WOW ALEC!!!!

Ok so Alec, the stable master, has little to no dialogue and certainly no character development in the show.

However, the book shows him interacting with Jamie and prodding him about his love life—or lack there of.

And Alec notices that Claire cannot keep away from Jamie. She follows him.

This is incredibly interesting because Jamie seems to initially question how Claire feels—if she desires him. Yet even a stranger can discern that this woman is drawn to this man.

Jamie: 2, Everybody Else: 0

“For a young man on the run, Jamie had been remarkably confiding to a stranger.”

Indeed, darling Claire. INDEED.

Because most of the interaction with Jamie we are privy too is with Claire, it might be easy to assume he is just an open person to all.

But I do not think that the case. I believe he is open with CLAIRE. He is completely vulnerable with CLAIRE.

He loves this woman. And he is not going to withhold anything from her—even when she is still a stranger.

OVERALL OBSERVATIONS:

As always, I seek to be honest on my blog, and I have to be candid: this novel has a LOT of exposition and I find myself skimming quite often. I am truly enjoying it, but I do not find myself JUMPING at the chance to read it still. That could be perhaps because I already know the generalities of how things will unfold, but none the less, I am not quite as blown away as I was expecting to be!!

However, with that being said, the book is showing a deeper depth into Claire’s love of Jamie than the show depicts. The show, due to the difference in platform, sometimes makes Claire seem aloof or indifferent in the beginning. But Claire is very engaged with Jamie in the novel and always aware of him. I love this added shade of affection to Claire’s perspective.

Until chapter 8, au revoir!

shadowhunters!! (if u watch, if not the office?)

Hiya there anon! Ok, so here’s the thing. I unfortunately have not seen Shadowhunters (the books are my JAM though, I’ve read them like a zillion times) and I’m only on season 2 of the Office! (loving it though!)

“Fiction is truth, even if it is not fact. If you believe only in facts and forget stories, your brain will live, but your heart will die.”

OH. MY. LAWD.

Now, reviewing this book without really including spoilers is going to be near impossible since it´s so far into the Shadowhunter Chronicles and involves so many of the books. For any of you who haven´t yet read any of the Dark Artifices series I highly recommend you read all the other Shadowhunter books (yes all 11 of them, hehe) before you dive headfirst into the rollercoaster ride that is these two books.

The review will contain spoilers for all of the book from this point.

Since this book is so long and quite complex it´s going to be hard to me to really go in depth about everything without writing 600+ pages myself, so instead, I´m going to list some of my biggest pros and cons.

PROS:

+ The Faerie Court scenes

I really loved seeing the faerie court in this book! I was afraid they would stay in Los Angeles for the most part of the book and that it would feel a little repetitive, but thanks to changing the environment and getting a more in-depth view of another area of the shadow worlds felt like a nice change and it kept things more interesting. Not to talk about getting to finally revisit the London Institute with all kinds of hints to TDI (making my heart flutter still).

+ Ty and Kit

Really Ty or Kit together with anyone (or just alone honestly) is amazing, together – even better. These two characters people… I just love them so much. Kit is so unapologetically Herondale (the sass! *swoons*) and even if he if struggling to find himself in this new situation he finds Ty and the two of them just fit so well. And Ty… Ty!!! I think he might be my favorite Blackthorn. He is smart and he is so kind and he knows he thinks differently but it doesn´t matter to him. Cassandra Clare´s representation of autism through Ty is so fantastically done because he is never put down because of it. It doesn´t stop him from doing things, it just shows him doing things a bit differently but just as well.

+ Action!

Something I really love about the Shadowhunter books and Cassie Clare is that I don´t ever really need to worry about the book being slow or boring. Even if the book is a 700-page beast it doesn´t feel like it and it doesn´t feel like it could be shorter. There isn´t really so much as a dull moment and there is action from the get-go, driving the plot forward really well.

+ Seeing TMI characters

Finally, getting to see all my beloved characters from the original The Mortal  Instruments is fantastic, and getting to see them interacting with all these new characters is really fun. Alec and Magnus being involved with all the craziness at the London Institute was also so lovely! Seeing them have gone from a new and dating couple to having kids and working so well together is making my fangirl feels go mad.

CONS:

Even if the majority of the book is just one big pro, there are a couple things I found less fantastic, which is why I´m having difficulty giving this a full 5 stars.

— Emma and Julian and the Parabatai curse

While I understand Emma´s reason for wanting to keep the curse a secret from Julian, I felt like it quite early on shows itself impossible for both of them to hate each other and perhaps it´s because I, as a reader, get to see both perspectives but I never really believed them thinking the other hated them. So after a good third of the book or so keeping the curse a secret still felt a little dragged out to me.

— Love triangles and characters

Now, something you should be prepared for having gotten this far into a series where all books still intertwine with other previous ones are many characters. Personally, it didn´t really bother me and I found I was able to keep track of all the characters quite well, but I could definitely see how other´s would find it too much. However, what all these characters have brought on that I´m less a fan of is ALL the love triangles and some characters feeling a bit put aside, like Drusilla, for example. Now, I´m fine with some triangle drama, but when there is two or three in the same book, it´s just too much for my taste.

So, overall, Lord of Shadows was a fantastic book and I loved reading it on vacation. It has all the elements of fantasy I love and characters that are just fantastic.

Now I just have to wait for the next one.
