#lit: six of crows

I actually think about the amount of times I saw people flippantly refer to Kaz and Inej Six of Crows asexual all the time. That was so haunting. They are textually not asexual. they actually do textually experience sexual desire and are still not touching because they’re traumatized. They cannot touch. Physically. She is a survivor of sex trafficking. Are you listening? You’re not listening. Trauma does not actually lead to the Identity of asexuality it leads to being traumatized. Did you know that traumatized people still sometimes experience desire in significantly more complicated ways? Did you know that desire can persist even where inability exists? Is anyone listening to me

But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. - Leigh Bardugo (Six of Crows)

Mooncakes, written by Suzanne Walker, illustrated by Wendy Xu

A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers' bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any town home. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery. Graphic novel, fantasy, young adult, romance, cozy fantasy, contemporary setting

Girlies if you love Kaz Brekker being unhinged in his revenge schemes you are gonna LOVE Edmond Dantes.

This guy is weird, rich and often scares people with his insane revenge schemes. He has a great tragic backstory, and does not know how to process emotions. Kaz is basically a much younger Edmond.

“Greed is your god, Kaz.” He almost laughed at that. “No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.”

When the other polls will be out, they'll be in my 'fantasy polls' tag.

Ah also don't scream. I know this is hard.

Ah and here's a science fiction poll if you're interested. The others are in the 'sf polls' tag you can access through it.

I still have ideas but I'm taking a (probably rather short) break from 'fantasy polls' poll making. Make suggestions for future polls if you want (obscure faves work, I tend to include mine so why not yours ? I think my ask box is open if you want to stay anonymous)

[incorrect-soc]

Me: I just love that one character from SoC, y'know?

X: Yeah, we get it, you love Wylan.

Me: Yes. Wylan. Of course.

Me: *Has been obsessed with Jordie for years*.
