hiii hope you’re doing okay over there 💛💛 also may i have some amazing urban fantasy recs?? u always have the best, most wonderfully curated recs

i'm melting in this weather, jessi! melting!

here are some favorite urban fantasy book recs:

even though i knew the end by cl polk - a fantastic noir novella about a private detective, a gamble for her immortal soul, and the secrets we keep from each other

devil and the bluebird by jennifer mason-block - a stand-alone that reads like a folk ballad, a young girl trades her voice for an enchanted pair of boots to cross the country to find her sister

the city beautiful by aden polydoros - wonderfully seeped in jewish ghost stories, a teenager is possessed by the murdered spirit of his friend

small town monsters by diana rodriguez wallach - there comes a time when every teen must ask a simple question of what's scarier: the locked basement door or the smiley cult that's gaining power in your town

the conductors by nicole glover - a young woman's past comes back to follow her as series of strange murders strike in her antebellum-era city (hetty x benjy 5ever!!!!)

deep secret by diana wynne jones - one of the most weirdest and lovable books you'll come across. a sff convention! terrible job interviews! a centaur prince!

hold me closer necromancer by lish mcbride - a fry cook learns that he's a necromancer and is unintentionally on someone else's (scarier) turf

the warrior heir by cinda williams chima - after helping his aunt rob a grave, jack confronts his new inheritance as rival wizard houses plot to kidnap him

bitter medicine by mia tsai - she's the descendent of a god and he's not fully human. together, they're a blushing mess of feelings and complicated magic when their jobs collide

Show Your Coloring Before/After (Updated!) was tagged by @oswlld thank youuuu! 💖💖

like you, jessi, it’s been about six months since i did this (first version here), and i’m so excited to be able to do it again, so thank you so much for the opportunity!! i feel like my gifmaking and my colorings have improved a lot in such a short time; i’m always learning and trying new things. 

the biggest difference i feel is that i’ve gotten much more comfortable with the “levels” layer, and much more comfortable with darks and contrast in my colorings. i used to always be afraid of things being too dark, and would tend to overcompensate by making them too bright. i feel like i’ve started to find a better balance!

im sure you’ve all been tagged in this before (maybe by me) but here we go: @willsilvertongue (zahraa im holding you at knifepoint consider this a threat!!), @pranparakul, (you too katie, i adore your colorings sooo much), @wuxyings (nuria teach me your ways), and @coredrill (hi again toni) ily guys!!💕

not sure if someone already asked but for the song ask game: #13

13. A song that reflects your views on love

(oh boy making it difficult)

I guess this is pretty close? I like the idea of being open and understanding of someone's flaws and still loving them as they are - that the only thing changing someone is the love they receive. Something sweet and comforting

Reveal Your Watch and Rewatch List

tagged by @oswlld thank youuu jessi! 🥰💕 sorry its taken me this long to get to this!! but seeing as we’re going into the new year soon enough, i figure this is as good a time as any! (im definitely not using this as an excuse to mention all the gmmtv 2023 shows that are now on my watchlist...nope)

watching:

his dark materials s3 (airing) - i’ve been waiting for this for SO LONG (2 years), and it is already everything to me and more. i read the first book a long time ago, but bc i was a sheltered christian kid i never got to the rest of the trilogy. despite that, i rewatched the movie over and over all throughout my childhood, we even had a playstation golden compass game! so even though i dont know the full story, this has been a series that’s been a huge part of my life for as long as i can remember, and it is coming to life so gorgeously in this adaptation. and now that im an AdultTM im absolutely going crazy over the philosophy the text digs into - the themes of freedom and knowledge vs control and oppression, science being woven so boldly into religion, it’s just. chef’s kiss. the love of my life. fav show next to bad buddy. i cant wait to read the books all the way through as soon as it finishes airing!

spy x family (airing) - this is just something cute that i catch up on every couple of weeks! i haven’t watched anime in a long time and this one is so fun. <3

planning to watch: 

warrior nun s2 - (not sure when i’ll get to it) 10 years ticket (gmmtv - begins airing Dec 14th) midnight series (gmmtv - begins airing dec ‘22?) - specifically: dirty laundry and moonlight chicken. gmmtv give me airdates rn i need both of these shows so bad. my school president (gmmtv - airing) - im planning on watching this once it’s finished airing, but may start sooner. i didnt have any plans to watch it at first, but, what the fuck, im a sucker for musicals. 🙄 rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles - (not sure when i’ll get to it) tengen toppa gurren lagann - (not sure when i’ll get to it)

looking forward to in 2023: star wars: the mandalorian s3 (mar) star wars: the acolyte (tba) shadow and bone s2 (mar) pjo season 1 (tba) rwby volume 9 (tba) GMMTV 2023 (airdates tba) our skyy 2 - bad buddy and the eclipse special eps only friends 23.5 degrees dangerous romance

rewatching:

the eclipse - almost done with this! i hope to finish this week, i only have the last two episodes to go. i love this series so much, and i love writing meta for it. i’ve got quite a few posts tucked away in my drafts that i plan to unleash soon.

derry girls - this is just something on the side that i love to turn on when im bored or can’t focus enough on something else. i watched all of s2 while waiting for hdms3 to air. 💀

tagging @coredrill, @pranpats and @willsilvertongue (idk if you do tag games zahraa but hiiiii, i’d love to know what you’re looking forward to and any recs you have♥️)

top 5 best meals you've ever had (so far) - seriously the way you talk about foods/restaurants in your area has me intrigued

Oh Lords okay we're going to stick SPECIFICALLY to meals in my area (Baltimore) and recent meals because if i were to bring in places I've traveled and go back past years the list would go on forever lmao

In no particular order-

Cosima- for my birthday last year we went to our local favorite Sicilian restaurant and had mussels with spicy Italian sausage and broth, a pizza to share with scallops/bacon/chili oil, I had the duck breast with yam puree and cranberry confit, and they brought us a limoncello tiramisu for dessert. The drink parings were an Italian golden ale and an amaro Manhattan.

Lamb tajine - i made this myself in the traditional clay tajine my bf got me for Christmas. We take half a leg of lamb, dice and marinade it in olive oil and Ras Al hanut, then brown it in a skillet. Once that's browned you add yams, beets, onions, figs, carrots, about two cups of beef broth, and a cup of red wine. Let it simmer for ten minutes then carefully ladle it into the warmed tajine, which should have been brought to temp in the oven. It cooks at 300° for about three hours or so, occasionally adding water if it gets too dry. It's excellent with pita and saffron rice.

Petit Louis - after i got out of my recent cancer treatment and isolation we went for dinner to my favorite french place here in Baltimore. It's a classic bistro style place with dusty mirrors and red leather seats and wine bottles on the wall. Their best deal is the prix fixe lunch they do from 11-2pm but i can't get away with it all the time. We shared the Pâte de campagne, had a glass of wine each to pair with our main courses, and i got the roast lamb, which was some of the best I've had in a while. And yes i treated myself to a pot of chocolate mousse and a glass of Armagnac for dessert.

Neopol Smokery - this is the smokery/deli I've been talking about a lot recently they have a store front set up in an open market and visit a few farmers markets where you can get their prepared salmon filets, pies, grav lox, and more. The smokery in the market however makes some of the best sandwiches I've had and they also have smoked mussels, duck confit, salmon plates, all kind of daily rotating offerings for lunch and dinner and the staff are phenomenal, everything you want out of the old school deli you become a regular at.

Mason's Lobster Rolls- look. I do not live in New England. I know that. Our lobster will not compare. These are however the only lobster rolls i will eat outside of New England. They do them every still, CT/Bar Harbor/RI, and have a few soup options as well. It's pricey as good seafood usually is, but it's filling and delicious so i tend not to mind as a treat. Also fantastic crew running the show.

Honorable mentions

Wet City Brewing - great drinks, great brisket poutine, excellent vibes. Highly recommended for hanging out and getting some food after a long day though parking will be a headache.

Di Pasquale's - old school Italian deli and market that is so old school Al Capone once did their book keeping as a teenager. Yes it's actually true the owner has the old employee registers from his grandfather hung up on the back wall of the new store. The sandwiches are stunning, the arancini are authentic, the cannoli are worth getting two. Tied with Pastore's for my favorite Italian deli (the latter is closer to work).

Clark Burger - great burgers, great poutine, next to a vintage 1920s movie theater that routinely shows golden age classics alongside new films. My favorite local burger joint.

kinnporsche wasnt just a show for me, it was an experience. it gave me one of my most favourite characters (kinn, if anyone is curious) and helped me make more friends and meet more creators and see their amazing work.

What I loved about the show was how character driven the plot was, even if we all could predict what was gonna happen next. and of course, the actors acted their ass off making this show legit a standard in its genre.

To appreciate these characters and actors who did justice to them, i have made like 22 ( math and I arent on good terms, I made a webweave for everyone leaving jom and tem because i didnt have enough information on them as individuals)

Its my first attempt at webweaves and tbh quite proud of it and hence want to share it with you guys who made KP fandom what it it is for- a joyful, hilarious and creative space - thank you you all
