FYI if you're watching MasterChef Australia, the Sri Lankan Australian contestant Savi is a friend of mine and kind of a stealth idol because everything I seem to be online (a ball-busting, bombastic, proudly brown, unapologetically fat, sexy decolonizer lady) she actually is irl. It's funny because she was a few grades below me and found me intimidating when we were in school and now I'm the one perpetually in awe of her. Do watch if you can and root for her! She's a delight!
sequel/companion to The Space Between Worlds, set a decade later
character-focused sci-fi set in an area divided in two, the rich protected city on one side and everyone else in the post-apocalyptic desert
follows a woman who works under the Emperor in Ashtown, keeping the peace
when mangled bodies start showing up with seemingly no murderer, she’s tasked with finding the cause, and finds out that it’s the result of corruption spanning both cities and multiple worlds
explores oppression and messy revolution, police violence and apartheid
no youre completely right - im a gay (trans)man and i legit wanna see so much more about the women bc There Is So Little. I wanna make a lesbian oc who gets bent in half by taash. im very normal.
i’m just tired man!!!! it feels so obvious how disproportionate it is when you’ve got. a cast of characters that we know almost equally little about. and a few of them explode in popularity and it’s like spongebob sticking his hand out the curtain. literally all a character needs to do numbers is to be a light-skinned man
so no one was going to tell me if i got literally one episode further tenax drops that he’s the one who saved scorpus from his mom’s pimp AND that he’s intimately familiar with scorpus’ dick when he was younger. guys. guys.
As I’m listening to the Drizzt books more and more, the more I’m coming to the conclusion that Minthara’s Vandree Priest aka her wife figure, and first lover chose her.
So it is known that when Drow graduate from their schooling, the graduating class are made to enter into a drug pumped in the-air-orgy where the High Priestesses and the like pick from the ranks to sleep with them for the Student’s first time, and the valedictorian is given to a demon in hopes of making a half demon baby.
Considering the rank and status she was born with I imagine the Vandree priestess was watching Minthara train up on that balcony with the other older ladies who ‘watched’ the progress of the up and coming, and also likely questioned and spoke with and lowkey flirted with the hopeful clerical Minthara. And when the time of graduation came and the men lined the wall and young Minthara was with the other clerics, the Vandree Priestess pulls her over to her sitting naked under a loose robe. And the rest is history.
heartbreak starter that we were talking about @mercred
a goodbye on a dreary rooftop. how romantic. she's not meant for this life. not with him. not with his deep rooted feelings for her. she could see it in his eyes , the way that he spoke to her. it was in everything he did. at first , it was fun to take advantage. diamonds and the occasional one night stand really made her feel alive. until it did not anymore. hope manifested in his eyes and made her feel an overwhelming guilt. he would deny such a genuineness as nobody wanted to be someone's lovesick puppy but she is done with this game of cat and mouse.
the soft thud mixed with sounds of rain would have her to turn with ease. " well , well , well .. i'm glad you came. i was .. starting to worry you might not show. " she'd say. green eyes will take him all in. [ it's serious this time , selina. tell him how you really feel about him ! no more excuses ! he's useless to you. ]
" new suit ? " she cannot help but take a detour. heartbreak isn't easy. " i like it. "
You should’ve see my face when I read ‘feminine’. This is why you will never get me to join that fandom. Do they not know that Shonda Rhimes is a BLACK woman who has made it her mission to be the sole reason why loving v Virgina doesn’t get overturned that woman lovers her a swirl. You’re not going to get a same race relationship out of her for main character. Also Micheal is John’s cousin why would he be white.
And let me stick this one here talking shit about this fandom I’ll drop this screenshot here. Let’s not try to remember what twitter thread or tweet this was from it’s two years old. Saying that Simon was a dark skin lead is crazy and they knew that not what op meant by dark skin women
you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons
