What I'd wear with my sp

Inspired by @princessbrunette bunny!reader in her rafe cameron posts and @sugarcandydoll rafe post (my sp def has some elements of the rafe scripts yall been making i couldnt help myself) 😭

♡ Definitely an outfit I'd wear with him out at the country clubs and rich social gatherings bringing a sense of innocent but slutty doll at his side. I'm so gonna get scolded for wearing what he'd call "scraps of fabrics for clothes" in front of all these thirsty men here but let's be honest, we both know it's hot and I ain't talkin bout the weather darlin.

♡ Bae needs chill time with the bros? Time to go more sporty. Playing with the dynamic between femininity but also meshing with men's naturally rough nature. Elements of pretty and sporty paired with sexy and cute. I'll happily be sitting all cute while he plays basketball or watch him horse race with his buddies and colleagues while I read through the latest fashion magazine wondering what my next shopping spree is gonna be like.

♡ aww..daddy has to work AGAIN 🙄 luckily I'm not just a little ditsy bimbo but a smart one as well..at least when I wanna be hehe. This calls for going full on preppy and sophisticated. Mini skirts still gonna happen though hehe.

♡ Now let's get to the good stuff, PARTY TIMEEE!! ..or at least the arrival hehe. Ofc my man is sitting with some of the hottest names in the industry like beyonce and Jay z, Sofia Richie, hell even the royals of England. But who's on the side of him? Me thats who, his finest treasure he just debut to show off to the whole world. So why not make a good first impression. Definitely faux fur, sleek sheer fabric gowns, satin silk slip dresses paired with a fur coat. Something sexy but definitely elegant giving room for an eye of luxe towards a crown jewel such as myself. A mixture of royal and romance. Plus with a nice slit, makes teasing so much easier at that gala dinner table and bathroom doesn't it? 🤭

♡ Finally its after party timee!! This calls for the highest of high heels and miniest dress you can find. Handbags are essential and a lil cheetah print definitely screams sex symbol of the night once again. Ofc he's probably gonna beat up any man who looks at my figure matter fact even has a thought on it. Ooh and can't forget the princess tiara, oh what would a little heiress like me be without her.

Tips on how to look like an heiress?? Thank you!

Style:

Embrace classic silhouettes and elevated wardrobe staples in high-quality fabrics and some unique patterns that suit your personal style

Focus on tailored sundresses, midi dresses, and slip dresses for day-to-night looks for the warmer months and eveningwear

Wear trendy denim with cami tops or sweaters in classic cuts, fun bright colors and patterns that suit your personal style

Invest in structured handbags and classic footwear (heels, boots, sandals, sneakers, etc.)

Mixed refined, elevated jewelry with fun costume pieces

Experiment with colors, textures, and whimsical accessories for special events or eveningwear (or go the opposite direction with a classic, ultra-luxurious monotone and streamlined dress and elegant accessories like diamonds and pearls)

Show skin strategically: If you decide on a sleeveless top/dress, one with cutouts, or a low neckline, pair it with pants or a longer-length skirt. Cover your shoulders, arms, or chest if you choose a mini-length skirt, dress, or shorts

Beauty:

Focus on maintaining shiny & sleek hair (and brows in a matching hue)

Place an emphasis on glowy, even skin with subtle blush or highlight, defined brows, and mascara with either a natural brown eye or a lip shade in a neutral pigment that "pops"

For evening events or special occasions, either pair a smoky eye with a natural lip or a bold lip with either a brown/neutral eye or bold liner with rosy cheeks

Maintain clean, classic-looking nails in a timeless shape and color

Heiress of Fire Book Review

Dear Reader,

I recently got the exciting opportunity to read my very first ARC! Thank you so much to Sherlyn Garcia for this opportunity and for her lovely writing! I am so inspired by her!

You can order a copy of Heiress of Fire here!

My Rating: 3.5 stars⭐

Heiress of Fire is an impressive debut novel featuring an engaging story and an endearing cast of characters that had immense potential as a group. This book is perfect for fantasy readers, eldest daughters, and those looking for a fun, faith-based fictional read geared toward young adult audiences. I enjoyed the reading experience overall, and I was very excited to pick up this book mostly due to the presence of the found family trope. 

In the beginning, I had very high hopes for these characters as a team. A close-knit group of heroes with distinct personalities and quality banter and dialogue was something I have been missing since the days of The Lunar Chronicles and Six of Crows. As previously mentioned, this group had a lot of potential. However, the only characters really explored and given dimension were Davina and Ron. I really wish we would have gotten to see more of these characters interacting together and gotten a better idea of their relationship dynamics. I would have loved to see them grow and develop as they struggle with the weight of being young people that are thrust into leadership during a war. I think it would have been really great to see these characters written as an ensemble cast, giving a brief look into each of their perspectives and showing their thought processes as they work to become a team and a family. For example, I would have liked to see Valerie and Beacon grapple with the responsibility of being the oldest members of the group, as well as the effect that this responsibility has on their relationship and their future. Snow is often described as icy and snarky, but I would have liked that sharpness to be shown rather than told on the page. I would have liked to see Cara develop in her training, and Caleb come to terms with the betrayal at the end of the book. I could very much see myself becoming attached to these characters, and there was potential for some really great relationships and storylines if they had been given just a little bit of depth. I think it would have helped if the characters didn’t live separately from each other. The lack of physical togetherness made it difficult to see their relationships and friendships grow and change, and reading more in-depth about those relationships would have given the events of the story more impact, because readers could connect significantly more to the characters and really care more deeply about what happens to them. There are a lot of time jumps that are very sudden in this book where no character development happens, and the timeline got sort of confusing throughout the last half of the book. Everything that happened felt very sudden and out-of-nowhere, which made for a fast paced plot, but also gave me whiplash as a reader at times. 

One thing that was done brilliantly within this book was the worldbuilding and magic system. I was blown away by the detail and organization of this fantasy world, especially for a debut novel. The magic system was easy to understand, being based on the elements as well as being color-coded, and it reminded me a bit of stories like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Divergent. The different islands each having different powers and colors ascribed to them made them easy to memorize, and it was interesting to read about how all the different Bellatormans interacted. The different “biomes,” if you will, on each island gave variety to the setting of the book, not unlike the different Courts of the ACOTAR series, and that made the story more interesting. The map within this book was  very helpful as well, and a great resource to have in any fantasy book.  I liked each of our main characters being assigned their own color scheme as well, making it seem more like a team of superheroes. 

The only thing that really took me out of the story in this book was the grammar. It seems like the book could have definitely used a few more rounds of edits, as I ran across many different grammatical errors, and sometimes incomplete sentences throughout. This made it difficult to stay immersed in the story when I was often having to restructure the wording in my head at many points. 

Another thing that was done exceptionally well in this book was Davina’s relationship with her family. Her struggles with her parents clashing with her love for her siblings and her desire to protect them was very emotional, and probably the best, most fleshed-out aspect of the book. Davina’s motives are very clear, and she is steadfast in them, which makes her a very engaging main character. I cannot give enough accolades to the author for illustrating the familial struggle in such a real and impactful way. 

The allegorical nature of King Magnar as a character was interesting to me and was a clear representation of the Christian faith that could likely do a great job of explaining that faith to someone who is not apart of it, but it was thinly veiled enough that I understand how it could be jarring to non-Christian readers who did not realize this was going to be an aspect of the plot, especially not an aspect as large and important to the story as it was. 

The hero’s journey archetype is somewhat absent from the plot of this book. We see the protectors use their power, but we don’t really see them struggle or deal with the responsibility they’ve been given. As things happen, they’re just kind of like “Ope. Okay” and we don’t seem to see much of the denial or inadequacy or fervor about their cause. This could also have something to do with the fact that they don’t interact enough. They just pick up and keep going without discussing or processing, and it seemed like a lot of their discussions as a team happened off page. 

The action scenes were written well in this book and were easy to follow. The pacing of the novel, aside from the time jumps, was done well and kept me engaged as a reader. I did not guess any of the plot twists at the end ahead of time, so I was able to experience the full effect of those developments. 

Overall, I very much enjoyed my reading experience with this book, and I will be picking up the second in the series upon its release. This novel reignited my desire to read fantasy, and I am excited to see more of these characters. Sherlyn’s writing, imagery, and the depth and care with which she wrote Davina were very good, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fantasy read that is full of heart, faith, and passion. 

Thank you so much to Sherlyn for this opportunity and this story. Go pick up your copy today!

I love trans people. I love trans people that identify as nonbinary. I love trans people that identify as a demiboy or demigirl. I love trans people that menstruate. I love trans people that don’t menstruate. I love trans people that can’t bind safely. I love trans people that are disabled. I love trans people that are homeless. I love trans people who are transitioning with hormones. I love trans people who are getting or have gotten gender surgeries. I love trans people who can’t transition because of financial issues or medical issues. I love trans people who are in the closet. I love trans people who are loud and proud of it. I love trans people that cannot be their authentic selves around their families. I love trans people that have made their own families. I love trans people that have loving and supportive families.

I fucking love trans people because they need more love than the world is offering them. The world may be struggling to find love for trans people, but I love trans people with all my heart. I would not be me if I didn’t care for people being people. I may be only 18, but I will gladly be the older sister to all trans people because I want them to know someone will love them without hesitation.

Question for Hinata, do you hang out with any other hyugas besides your family?

Hinata: Oh, uhm... s-sometimes I hang out with Ko when father's busy! I also have spoken to a handful of others a few times, like Tokuma. But.... *slumps over* that's really it-. I spend most of my time with my family or my teammates..
