I don’t know why I never bookmarked this fic, it’s actually really good. the writing for both the relationships and the characters are excellent, the dialogue is natural and doesn’t sound out of place, the worldbuilding is appropriate and expands the cast, and there’s a real effort to incorporate and expand on the themes from the show. wwx and lwj’s dynamic from the show is almost perfectly replicated, just becoming slowly more intimate over time, and it’s clear they both know how they feel about each other. it’s making me feel like a soft-boiled egg...it’s so sweet it’s so natural it’s perfect. the only reason they haven’t actually gotten together is because they’re technically solving a case and there’s a ton of kids around so it’s hard to get a private moment...which I don’t even mind because this is almost like they’ve already gotten together anyway. I just read a scene where lwj gave wwx some food from his plate at an inn and he became so overwhelmed he almost started crying 🥺

#I can see that happening! a scene very like it did happen in the show!#also I like that wwx is holding off because the mood isn't right and he wants their first kiss to be A Big Deal #very much in line with my hc for him as a big romantic sap #this author wrote some other stuff I liked idk why I wrote this one off #iirc there's a nonbinary shapeshifter towards the end #maybe it gets bad halfway through?#either way I like it a lot now #ficblogging

Why does the orange Addison's mannequin kinda resemble you?

#most of their mannequins probably look like him tbf #good average cyber-citizen sizing (SHORTASS)#i dont have a lot to say because it explains itself + if i say anything i remove possibilities of answering an asks with something related #to said thought so im not gonna #[you've got mail!]#spamton #spamton g spamton #deltarune #deltarune spamton #deltarune chapter 2 #no.1 freak #something different about this one i think. maybe its the expressions. not a bad thing but its definitely. different.#i had thoughts but im tired and i dont hop on tumblr until i finish the ask im working on so i dont get stuck scrolling & unproductive #sorry i dissapearrreeeddd i was overstimulated like halfway through the week which is earlier than usual but it makes sense because i was #out doing more unusual social activities :-P but you dont care and nor am i obligated soo....#the hands look better not pixelated idk why #give me a little to respond to stuff and check up we be eepy #this one has a lot of freakin frames for some reason

Watching Netflix’s Damsel rn. It’s alright - not bad, but it definitely could have been a hell of a lot better. The beginning seems sort of rushed (I get that they have limited time to get to the real ‘fun’ parts but come on)

I will say tho, the scene where the flock of birds comes flying through the cavern is fire as fuck. Such an incredible introduction for the dragon.

#‘Fire as fuck’ pun FULLY intended btw #I’m trying not to spoil anything in case someone who wants to watch it sees this #it’s not a bad movie at all #the trailer just had a ton of potential that seems to be going to waste #but I’m less than halfway through so idk maybe it’ll get better from here #damsel #Netflix #millie bobby brown

Immediately forgets everything that happened in June. Uh. I threw a tea party! Finished a knit hat! Did one (1) queer corvid piece! Started playing baldurs gate! Read some good books! SAW SOME SANDHILL CRANES!!!! Found new enrichment in the form of a new walking route! A busy busy month! Didn't read as much as I intended, but I did get to check off five more books on my Reading Books I Own chart so I call that a win.

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakranorty ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- WHAT A FUN BOOK! "Adventure" is the perfect word for this. Yes, it's a trilogy with only one book out, but this also works so well on its own, as individual books SHOULD! It's its own little thing. Wrapped up neat and tidy with little threads to pick up in the future. I had so much fun and the audiobook was a DELIGHT, I want to read it again immediately.

The Novice by Taran Matharu ⭐- This has been sitting on my shelf since its release. It moved homes with me. It will not be doing so again. Bland, generic, poorly written. Proof just because you were an internet success, doesn't mean you don't need an editor. Also proof that publishing is about Luck and Connections. I know goodreads ratings mean Nothing, but come on. Why is this one so high. Did people really enjoy it that much? HOW??

Translation State by Ann Leckie ⭐⭐⭐⭐- Okay. Look. This was not my favorite Leckie novel. In fact it very well could by me least favorite Leckie novel. HOWEVER. Even then, it was still fun and enjoyable. I wish it ended differently, but I still loved all the characters and how they interact. I do want to reread this as well, because I remember enjoying Ancillary Justice more the second time around and I wonder if the same will happen here.

What Moves The Dead by T Kingfisher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A reread! To get ready for What Feasts At Night! Even knowing all the secrets, it's still a perfectly bite sized creepy read. My favorite thing about Kingfishers writing is how even with the darkest subjects she still manages to add humor. And it never seems out of place! It's a great breather for the reader but doesn't detract from the tension. Do not recommend reading this while walking through a field of bunnies.

What Feasts At Night by T Kingfisher ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I gave What Moves The Dead four stars at my initial read through, so I wonder if this will ALSO change to five stars upon rereading. I had to read the first few chapters twice for them to stick, and ended up switching to the audiobook which was very well done. I really didn't expect another book about Alex Easton, but I'm hooked now to be honest. I mean, stop putting this soldier in Situations, but also. I want to know what other Situations ka gets into. Angus and Miss Potter are adorable.

The library has a few summer reading games with prizes so my reading in the upcoming months will be influenced by those. Someone said there might even be a local bookstore gift package in the mix and I Want That. I do still want to do the Bone Season updated read, if for no other reason than to get rid of those books so I don't have to pack and move them. Other than that, no reading plans. I've read nearly every book that's on the shelf in my bedroom, which, wow, so it's getting harder to choose what to read. I guess that's a good thing! Leaves more room to reread old favorites.

#bookbird babbles #reading wrap up #monthly wrap up #june wrap up #books #booklr #i dont want to get rid of the bone season books bc theyre the og hardbacks with the GOOD covers #but honestly. i like the anniversary editions so much better #those white covers though......oof lmao #but like. if the book is Bad then who cares lmao #i could probably sell them tbh #i know theyre in high demand in the fandom #or were five years ago #i think the fandom has kind of given up bc it takes so long for each book to come out #and i mean. authors dont owe us anything and all that but.#girl.#ten years since book one released and youre not even halfway through your seven book series #....maybe you are #four books are out?#STILL YOU GET MY POINT #grrm behavior and that is NOT a compliment #anyway. it was an okay month #neighbors suck my health sucks the weather sucks #but the tea party fucked we killed that one #oh also i gave myself a terrible haircut the other night #chop chop!!!!!#my moms like why dont you just go to a professional and i said because im not paying 30$ for them to cut off two inches LMAO #stylists work hard but im broke thanks #ill suffer an uneven haircut for a while if it means i can do other things like buy a silly little boba #id like to dye it soon too and now that all the old blond is gone i should be safe lol

Consider Yelan's facial expression to be my own in reaction to opinions shared on both X and Tumblr, and I guess I'm in the minority of the 'loud ones', but I'm pretty excited for Natlan since that trailer, actually. The previous teasers left me a little 'eh', but this definitely got my hopes back up, and I'm back in the right spirits for it (and ready to catch some Pokémon.)

Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't touch on the salt that I've seen scattered across the dash, so here I go. Listen, I read people's objections and I see what you're all aiming at, but in that light want to note that it's often incredibly easy to point fingers (arguably too much so) at others while being, quite honestly, hopefully rather aware that many of our own countries, cultures, and its populations across the board (and no, I'm not excluding anyone here) would likely be just as easily guilty as MHY is with these things. And no, I'm not blindly defending them, but I also won't point fingers at only one without pointing them everywhere else as well, including those you might think would 'never do such things', because I'm absolutely certain that they would. /continues on in the tags.

#ooc. [ don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. ]#salt. [ that breathing sensation? remember it. ]#we all wear biased lenses. and no-- 'informing yourself through social media' doesn't make you aware of how cultures work/look.#people informing themselves through social media is the /worst trend/ that the 2000/2010s have ever brought us. it's insane.#i'm sorry i'm also very tired of people deciding who are minorities and when. and who is allowed to 'get away with things' and who aren't.#and who is guilty and who isn't. and how “everyone is supposed to do everything right” when most people don't even know...#how the culture of their neighboring country genuinely looks outside of simple stereotypes (and usually only bad ones).#we also need to ultimately realize that mhy is chinese. it has (uniquely) gotten a lot of praise for its presentation of japanese culture.#(from what i hear) which is incredibly rare for a chinese company (and others). and then...#it's doing cultures further away from its own less justice. it didn't exactly do mondstadt great. it played into stereotypes.#and then combined them from multiple cultures. same with fontaine. it played into stereotypes /yet again/ in the same way the west does it.#and not just stereotypes from one country and culture. but /several/. but do most people who aren't familiar with those cultures know this?#no. they don't. and why would they? look at even just the west. europe and north america think that they're similar. /they are so not/.#if WE can't/won't even get it right. and yet we pretend to every damned day; why are we condemning a country halfway across the globe?#and also no-- i don't think latam or africa would portray china properly. or france. or the states.#... but you know what all this'll still do? cause people to look up and go 'hey this is so cool-- i want to know the inspiration'.#and people will still look into it. and people will learn.#and people will be drawn to them in life outside of their homes. or at least the ones who want to touch grass. and maybe even foreign grass #sanity knows i've looked infinitely more into chinese culture and customs because of liyue than ever before. with a much higher...#interest than i've ever admittedly had in regards to china. /ever/. just like i've had other games do the same for other cultures...#way across the globe.
