The sandwiches in the beginning of A Wrinkle in Time always sounded so delicious. There’s something magical about middle-of-the-night storm food. I guess that’s what Waffle House is for.

After reading and watching several adaptations, I have come to the conclusion that Quincey gets much more respect than Jonathan. Yes he appears much less, but he gets his heroic sacrifice when he does instead of getting bastardised. Three times I have seen him be the one who kills Dracula without Jonathan. In two of those he has the kukri.

Also idk if vampire Quincey is underappreciated, there is a novel all about him.

And in this one Jonathan is revealed to have been a cowardly cheater all along.

You know. Sometimes I think I might be going too overindulgent with my Harker Horrors and lavishing of attention on my favorite special little haunted gothic heroine lad.

And then I get lovely reminders like these that not only am I not being indulgent, I have to actively burn every daydream of an inhibition I have as a writer to unfuck 126 years' worth of doing the whole cast dirty, but Jonathan Harker the absolute worst.

Mona eating the anniversary dinner Spencer prepared for Toby while listening to Spencer’s heartbroken sobs is kind of one of the most textually erotic scenes in all of pretty little liars…

sorry but i'm just so sick of bookstagram/booktok “dark romance” bullshit like 1) we don't actually have to write every gross fucked up childhood trauma sex fantasy that comes to mind and 2) we don't have to flood the market with it if we do and 3) does anyone write or read or promote books that are actually decently written and not a cash grab and about something other than something a porn addicted redditor incel or alcoholic old housewife would jack off to

i'm probably going to put a halt on new threads for the moment. i have a bunch of awesome starters to reply to as is, and no doubt if i add any more to the pile i will just get overwhelmed and not reply to any of them. which would be very sad! this does not apply to any threads i am actively planning that have yet to start; if we've been chatting about plots and threads, you're still on my docket :) just nothing brand new for the moment, at least until i make a dent in the replies/starters i owe. i also have abouuuuut 6? 7? longer lore posts drafted? i really don't make things easy for myself, do i? as always, i'm super duper grateful for your folks' patience. we will get there eventually!
