Finally finished "For the Wolf" !

Honestly....wasn't a huge fan. Granted, I would read it then not touch it for days so it took me forever to read it. That hindered my enjoyment. But that's on me, not the book. And I skimmed the end bc I just really wanted to finish this book.

Also I skipped Neve's chapters. I'm sorry, but i really didn't care about her.

For me, the ship needed more development. It felt like Red more or less flipped a switch on liking Eammon.

I was really excited to read this. That excitement didn't stay till the end. And again, more me than the book ( the ending is actually really interesting I was just over this book at that point). Don't think I'll be reading the 2nd book.

'For the Wolf' is advertised as a Little Red Riding Hood retelling, but it's more like Beauty and the Beast, so just be aware of that going in if you're interested. I LOVE Beauty and Beast, but didn't love this version.

See unlike Mr Puzzles, I simply would not rip off my face and put a TV in it's place, I would still be insane but that's not important.

"Every time there's a sunny forecast, he does it with me. The word 'sunny' feels out of place for such activity in a dark and damp room. It's as if it's such a lewd word being forced into my mind. Do you understand how I feel when I hear that word from your mouth?"

Mondo Mango: Tarot Reading

My reading. This was done in 2022. Feels like it still applies this year haha.

There's a second part you can find on the link above. Reading on Tapas or Webtoon helps me.

Twenty-Fungalore: He heard your wish. He hears all, He is everywhere. You cannot escape Him. when the end of You comes you will return to Him. until then, He awaits your return. He is death and decay, He is life and creation. He has been here long before we arrived, He will remain long after we are gone. You are temporary, Fungalore is forever.

I can't help it, every time now I hear or read the word "Tahiti" or "mangoes" anywhere I just get a deep, deep visceral reaction to it, like I need to hurl something, and then escape

[mango-dolphin]

edit: oh my god i forgot to elaborate on the "his" pronoun

my cruel prince binge: november reading

The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson 4.5/5. Chilling, but not scary. the ending snuck up on me then stuck with me.

The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros 3.5/5. I loved the vignettes, but it went a little slow (while trying to acknowledge that not speeding through a book does not necessarily constitute a lower rating)

The Cruel Prince, The Wicked King, The Queen of Nothing, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories, Holly Black. 4/5 ummmmmmmmmmmmm... this series had me in a chokehold for about seven days. now, about a month later, i realize it was because of Jude - driven by a need of power, not necessarily love. as a twin myself, the dynamic between Taryn and Jude was perfect. and the SLOW BURN ROMANCE. Cardan was perfectly tortured. I read them like one big saga, which was helpful to deal with its surface level world building.

If We Were Villains, M.L. Rio 4.5/5. YES YES. almost perfect. it just would've been everything to me if I saw a BIT more with Oliver and James. even if it wasn't them together together, we needed more to convince me of oliver's action in the end. like why was he sleeping with meredith so much??? it threw me off

OKOK HALLOO!! <33 sry this is a bit late i had to go out

How do we think,, mango would look as,, a warrior cat,, 🐈

A lot of their info is in the ref sheet, and idk what else to say other than they’re a bit cuckoo tbh ☹️☹️ and they’re based on a Great Potoo! Mostly js with the smile tho </33 my other ask probs had more on it i just forgot what i put lmaoo mbmb but tysm for the offer!! Have a great day <33

WEIRD LITTLE FREAKS IN YOUR AREA‼️‼️‼️

Warrior-fication under the cut:

“Potoo” is a rogue “cat” that wanders the clan territories and sometimes make patrols really fucking scared when they catch a glimpse of them, considering how elusive they are. You could SWEAR someone was there but when you go back to check theres just. nothing. nothing but a faint unnatural, alien, scent that lingers. Spooky! They’re basically the local Clan Cryptid™ that queens would use to scare their kits into not leaving the camp LMAO. Wether or not they’re actually real is up for debate among the clan cats.

Maybe next time don't call him when he's at work, idiot <3

(I couldn't think of anything funny to draw for the other part wAAA)

Man, i dont know wether everyone noticed this and im just dumb and oblivious or if im being completely delusional but i think im realising why Dutch trusted Micah so much even when Hosea and Arthur complained about it.

I think what he thought, was that this is going to be a similar scenario to many other gang members in the past when they first joined.

Im not sure but thinking about it, there are many people in the gang that i feel like when they joined, Hosea and Arthur weren't happy about, but they proved themselves to the gang and changed for the better so the older members accepted them.

Hell, this could have been the case with Arthur too. Hosea mentions he was a wild delinquent when they took him in but he changed and that makes me think that Hosea originally didnt want Arthur to join them, but Dutch saw something in this feral orphan, took him in and soon enough, even Hosea grew fond of him. Even came to love him as a son.

I feel like it took a lot of convincing from Dutch to let Arthur stay but when he did, and he saw the man Arthur became, Dutch probably started believing that there is good in everyone and everyone is capable of changing for the better if they are given the chance, that is of course, if he didnt already believe in that.

That is probably how we ended up with many of the gang members who cause a bit of trouble or aren't really contributing to the gang or just the ones Hosea and Arthur arent really fond of. Specific names that come to mind are Bill, Sean and Swanson. Now im definetely not saying i dislike these characters. Nor am i saying that Sean or Bill dont contribute or that Arthur and Hosea dislike Swanson or Sean or anything like that but you get the idea.

Dutch, to me, seems way more open to strangers and troubled people, good example of this is Sadie, he didn't even hesitate about taking her in, she was in trouble and needed help, he didn't care that he didn't know her and she could potentially figure out who they are and tell the law about them (she wouldn't do that of course but someone else could have been in her place, you know) or Maybe even Kieran, who used to be member of their a rival gang but people told Dutch he saved Arthurs life so he let him stay with them. Of course they didnt trust Kieran as much but just the fact that he let him live after, even more, he let him live AND stay with them when he clearly didnt't have to shows that he is way more trusting of strangers whereas Hosea and Arthur are way more protective of the people already in the gang, protecting them from these strangers.

Seems to me like Dutch saw Micah, says the man saved his life? I think? And thought: "there is some goodness inside this person, he just needs an opportunity and a place to change for the better, even if Arthur and Hosea dont agree and say i should cut him loose, what kind of person would i be, preaching about giving people who were wronged by their life and this country a second chance yet throwing this person away after messing up a few times. It took other people in this gang months, even years to change and they did change, Hosea and Arthur used to complain but now those people are a part of their family so why shouldn't i give this person a chance?"

This of course, could have been the case had Micah actually wanted to change from his habbits and break away from his past but i think it is clear that from his dialougue he is happy being just the way he is. He just kept telling Dutch he wants to change so Dutch would let him stay and and Dutch, believing him, dragged the whole gang to destruction because of this, because he put so much time and effort into trying to help, change and save someone who didn't need it

Look I'm just speaking for myself, but it's a crime that mango ice cream isn't more widely known or made (at least in the US, no idea about other places). It's SO GOOD and infinitely superior to strawberry ice cream. It's what strawberry ice cream wishes it was. It's sunshine in a scoop. Are you kidding me. Damn delightful
