req for how Grayson would celebrate his so’s birthday please! 🩵
grayson celebrating his so's birthday
of course! the s/o can be whatever girl you want it to be (lyra, you, oc, etc). hope you like them <3.
he would wake her up by kissing her all over her face (he does this everyday, but he puts extra effort on her birthday) (nose kisses, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, etc)
he would literally spend thousands of dollars on her gifts and will have put a lot of time making/buying them.
he will compose her a piano piece ever single year. he performs it at night in the piano room when the two of them are alone.
he'll buy the outfit he wants her to wear prior to the birthday (he doesn't force her to wear it though, it's just something he likes doing/likes helping her out)
he'll wake her up with breakfast in bed and a bouquet of flowers (not roses though, he buys the rarest, most expensive flowers he can find)
he definitely sort of makes her birthday a full week/weekend thing. after they celebrate her birthday with the others, they go on a trip to like italy, spain, portugal, etc where they celebrate even more (if you know what i mean...)
he'd paint something for her. idk what it would be but i hc that gray is like the next picasso or some shit
every year, on her birthday, he adds a picture of her to this photo book he has of the two of them.
one year he got her this beautiful white gold necklace/bracelet/earring set (you can imagine it however you want)
he hires someone to do her hair and makeup for her.
other than physical gifts, he also gives her money for a spa day, concert, etc (he sometimes comes along if she wants him to)
the entire house will be decorated from floor to ceiling (the decorations are her favorite color). diamonds and sparkles are fucking everywhere. it makes her feel like a princess.
he also gets her 2491093480 books because she loves reading (or he brings her to the book store and tells her to take all of the books she wants)
they always end up watching a movie at the end of the day bc she loves watching movies/shows.
grayson helps libby bake her cake (libby could do it by herself but grayson wants to help bc its for his gf)
they eat outside during sunset and stay out long after the stars come out. she loves stargazing (they eat with the other brothers, avery, etc but they also have a date night the day after where they do pretty much the same thing)
he makes playlists for her that he thinks sort of sums up her year (idk if this makes sense) or just of songs that remind him of her
he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off of her. he'd always be holding her waist or hugging her or smth.
the entire family would end up in front of a bonfire dancing and talking. they'd have a fucking blast. grayson would be holding her in his arms the entire time with his head stuffed in her neck.
he'd do anything she wanted him to do like twerk or pole dance (he only lets her make a fool of himself when its her birthday). she takes advantage of this and makes him do all the crazy shit imaginable.
this one's shorter than my other posts but oh well. i have quite a few requests so some of my next ones may be shorter. anyways, hope you liked them <3.

The "Sansa reminds Sandor of his sister" motive that some people try to hitch to his character really just flies in the face of his actual attachments to her, doesn't it? Sansa reminds Sandor of himself. He sees the little boy who used to love knights in this girl who's been swept up by the same romanticism. He sees his abuser in her abusers, the much larger knight(s) beating on the helpless child. He sees how she is betrayed by every level of authority that should have saved her and remembers his father's neglect and Tywin and Robert's apathy for Gregor's crimes. He's protective of Sansa because he was Sansa.
And GRRM's design, that one of the strongest warriors in the series, a fearsome and cynical 6'8" guy who's "muscled like a bull" and has the face of death itself, sees himself in this soft and effeminate teen girl, and empathizes with her because he was an abuse victim too, is INFINITELY more compelling than "Oh yeah I bet she just reminds him of his sister," who he's never mentioned and who we know literally nothing about. Way to unnecessarily water down a character, you couldn't have ignored the black and white text more efficiently if you tried.
#sorry for the rant i saw this sentiment in a yt video recently#sansa stark#sandor clegane#sansan#asoiaf#and this is only one facet of why he has so much affection for her too#these people act like his attachment to her is limited to projection and not also bc she treats him like he's an actual human being#or that they can be themselves when they're with each other -that he can openly show his weakness to her and be comforted and validated#or like even just the physical attraction aspect - which is so obvious that you'd have to be willfully ignorant to miss it#how do you read him trying to kiss her and come away thinking “he thinks of her as his sister” lmfao#things that make me feel like people dont actually read the books

I was so excited to take this history of black cinema course and learn about all the things the other film courses ignore or leave out regarding film history because it focuses on black people and their very significant impact on Hollywood and film in general, but so far all we've had is white speaker after white speaker talking about how smart and great they are for knowing that black people were involved in film too, talking about their podcasts and the books they're writing on the subject, and I'm wondering how is it that I'm paying so much money for schooling and these speakers and professors are the best they could afford.
#And one of them saying she's not a doctor because she “was too lazy to commit to the doctorate” for her field#Like she couldn't even come up with an excuse lol she just straight up admitted she doesn't care all that much#And my professor being like “I haven't finished my book but I'm making notes for a second edition-” brother shut the fuck up#No one's fucking read your book because it doesn't exist stop assuming we wanna hear everything you have to say bc you're a white man#He thinks he can just throw in a “fuck D.W. Griffiths” (true) into every lecture and it makes him the cool white guy#I'm so tired#Only the third class into the semester and I'm so tired

Suffering more than Jesus atm (being a fan of 80s/90s Suicide squad in 2024)
#god amanda waller what did they do to you....#i KNOW i never shut up about this but GUYS ITS SO BAD#fucking WHY would you take the interesting antihero protagonist and then strip her of any redeeming quality and use her as this horrific#unforgivable villain who is treated as a hated antagonist in her own comics#WHERE SHE ISNT EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER MOST OF THE TIME#like why are you trying to make me sympathize with fucking harley quinn or smth when the actual main character is right there. why are we#turning her into this horrific villain w a million master plans making deals with the devil and shit.#we are supposed to like her. like maybe not all dc fans do because shes almost always an antagonist in other books but in her own shes the#main character!!! there should be some aspect of interest or sympathy for her. as opposed to just making her like badass or whatever#so sick of this#and its in freaking EVERYTHING right now on god i cant read other comics that are otherwise good (like ga) and enjoy them without the#obligatory intense demonification of one of my fave characters#like shes my no 6 in locg for a reason i genuinely love waller like yeah she sucks sometimes but shes INTERESTING.#this is not interesting or creative in any way what theyre doing with her#this genuinely could have been any government baddie like honestly#dont flatten 3 dimensional characters into 1 dimension (or at best like 1.5) to tell a story you tell the story around the 3d characters.#why do i need to say this. basic competent storytime#blah#amanda waller#istg i throw out another waller rant every freaking tuesday on here#suicide squad#you know what. at least we had the movie#you heard me. higher hopes for the new gunn dceu series than actual comics for the forseeable future#viola davis save me...#need to do a bit of 00s reading still to verify but on god watch this all come down to a fucking new 52 thing. like not to say that i think#thats where it all went wrong bc i need to read more to verify but i have an idea of what rlly did it and i think it was a nu52 decision#but then again maybe im stupid

Does anyone have any good book recommendations that talk about transmisogyny in a way that would be entry level to like. A 50 year old cis lesbian
#especially ones that talk about the ways that our society primes even trans allies to view trans women in a negative light#my mom is trying but i think she could use some help understanding in a way that i dont think i could just talk her through#she seems to think my gf is more like standoffish than she actually is and she thinks my gf is being rude when shes emotional about smth#and im talking her through it from the perspective of like#'as a human being and as someone who is all too familiar with homophobia please understand what this is like from her perspective'#but i feel like. theres some unconscious transmisogyny going on here and i really wish my mom could understand that#but i dont think shes ever even heard of transmisogyny before. she has no context#i cant try and talk her through it from that perspective bc she would need a lot of background to understand what im saying#and i dont think trying to explain transmisogyny theory in the middle of an argument would be helpful#if i could recommend her a good book under the context that it would help her understand me and my gf as trans people#and if she read through it and took the time to understand it which i do believe she would#i feel like it might help her to kind of analyze if the thoughts shes having are influenced by transmisogyny and start unpacking that#and also importantly i feel like she could look at what my gf is going through not just from the human and lgbt perspective im asking her to#but also from her perspective As A Woman#bc i feel like theres a missing piece there right now. my mom supports us and respects my gfs gender#but i dont think shes looking at these situations in context As A Fellow Woman#idk#rambling

Yknow, instead of basing a lackluster at best character off a nazi, Coco could have been Chajka, based off the heroic Chajka Klinger, a jewish woman who was essentially a scribe of history
You can even keep the minibag machine gun considering the history of jewish women hiding guns in their purses
#rwde#idk if yall have read the light of days by Judy Batalion but that shit made me cry#do not read that book at work lmao#but in all seriousness it's a v good book i highly recommend#why stan a shitheel based on a nazi when you can recall and rejoice people who did their best during the absolute worst of times#side tangent but reading this book has turned me off all nazi shit#like obvs we grow up w 'nazis r bad bc death and destruction' but reading the individual accounts#following some folks from teen to young death even in a narration#its haunting#its v much the reason i hate jojo rabbit(movie)/caging skies(book)#i do not ever want to see a nazi in a positive light#human? yes. quirky and relatable? FUCKING NO#idk why but the entire book chajka was always the one I felt most drawn to#i wish she'd had a happy ending but i honestly can't say that i would've done any different in those circumstances#i hope she knows peace and that her efforts weren't in vain#whats a proper jewish sendoff for the deceased? im p sure rip is christian#either way chajka i love you

seems like my heart does nothing but break lately
#oh my god dont read the tags. it breaks for everyone :( but on a more personal level#for my gf whos sinking deeper into something n i cant even help bc im a wreck myself but i am so so scared to lose her#still havent even been able to book a psych appointment n i rlly dont know where to go with all these ..em*tions#Guys i rlly dont understand one thing. how come one random freak whos in ur life at some point can derail a whole person like eons later#jeopardise their whole future just by crossing some lines for funz i really dont understand this#not fair not fair at all this is evil#and becasue u got unlucky someone wanted to be disgusting u have to carry the consequences#i rly still cant even say it i still cant even write it#i dont even know how . irl the only perosn i told in some capacity#is dealing with her own trauma and i hate that jsut being understanding is not enoughlike#Wow Lmao Its just Funny How it Shapes You. & U Can Never bury it forever becuz it will always catch up to you😂😂😂😂😂😂#AND THE PAST CAN NEVER BE ERASED 😃😃😁😁😂😂😂🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔪🔪#at least my gf has been taking steps to deal with it for.3 yrs and i just never even#LOL i feel like such a coward but the sh*me and the g**lt associated with the Thing..r so overwhelming i cant even admit it#what would i even do at the psych appointment like straight up what am i gonna say Lol#hai iam here to process something i dont actually remember probably becasue i was a child but imnot sure. n id rather#kms than tell u how i know 😂. So thats also why my heart breaks. for that little girl who was a ball of shame i guess and no matter#how much i cognitively.like rationally know its not my fault the ball of shame n guilt is still there#n it swallows me every time i vaguely start 2 think about acknowledging the Th*ng#or whatever. And thats just my end of the deal but my gf has it worse genuinely bc she remembers everything n still has to see the freak#n it went on for yrs n her family doesnt know n heres the worst thing hes a beloved family member a sweet boy with struggles of his own#well i hope he walks into traffic for doing what he did to her

i’ve been trying to get through hoh for literally like a week now but it’s so hard bc the way my fave nico is treated is absolutely ABYSMAL and i know it only gets worse
#personal#even hazel being like ‘yeah he’s hard to get along with’ or whatever she said#every single non-tartarus perspective has had at least one reference to this#and like i understand the reasons it’s not that it’s that it highlights this issue i have with a lot of the characters in that series which#is that i don’t like them. and that’s so different for me bc i actually usually find that my two favorite characters in anything are the tw#that don’t like each other? unrelated to that dynamic usually mostly but still within it#but that’s not even what the dynamic is yk.#and it’s just the whole thing overall like in the last book there was one part where these two characters who are supposed to be good#friends are separated and one makes a comment about how annoying (or something along those lines) she finds the other which.#i’m vaguely aware of what happens in toa so i think you could argue something about that but read on its own bc i don’t want to make that#argument without fully grasping where her character goes#it just kinda reinforces this… vibe to the whole series that was not nearly as present in the first series of like. really overemphasized#like gender roles/heterosexuality/etc. i can’t think of the word to use to describe it. i’ve seen other ppl talk about the parts that add u#to the whole that i’ve seen but never synthesize them. and it really varies between actually insidious and simply not my taste which is par#of the reason i hesitate to make a full critique out of it. but suffice to say i really don’t like it#with that being said the pacing of this book is really good and i am compelled to finish based on the themes i do find interesting#autonomy being a huge one#but anyway those are my thoughts on it after a few days of a break. i’ve been playing a video game instead :3 but i start work on wednesday#sooo i won’t have as much free time boo#looking back maybe ‘insidious’ is a very strong word for it. i’m talking about like when percy complains about the bag and similar moments

when estie and astarion get mistaken for brother n sister by some random absolute cultist for the sixth time since their last long rest:
#idk i find the idea of estie & astarion being confused for siblings all the time very funny#bc they rly do act like brother n sister at times. they fight soooo bad sometimes n just move on without talking abt it#they nearly come to blows at the campfire n 5 mins later she's swinging by his tent to bring him a book n read together#gale joins them sometimes. estie puts her feet in his lap and astarion acts very disgusted the whole time#gale & astarion & estie book club. thnx <3#also he's the only person in the party who's somewhat near her age??? shes younger but not as young as the others#n idk. even tho they disagree w each other at times that kind of shared understanding is hard to ignore#both snooty high elves too. they have the exact same snobby taste in wine and clothes n they loooove to sit together n bitch#plus yknow. 'est' 'ast' names. they could b twins i tell u#anyway. local elf girl loses her big brother to mindflayers n immediately latches on to the nearest blond male elf as her new one more at 1#ch: estrilda nerezac

the gaang’s favorite individual daily word games?
there are more daily word games than just the NYT crossword and wordle?????? see i am the wrong person to pose this question to bc i don't like games, and playing any daily word game seems like hell to me. but keeping in mind how little i know on this subject...
aang and katara are very into wordle, and send each other their scores every single day. toph overhears them talking about this one day and not so subtly coughs into her hand "losers"
sokka loves doing crosswords. he is the crossword king. he has multiple crossword apps on his phone, not just the NYT daily. one a day simply isn't enough for him. he has to get his fix
toph doesn't play any "daily word games" because those are virgin games for virgins, like d&d or baseball, and she's too busy drowning in pussy to guess words on her phone, thanks
suki: "what toph said"
zuko likes a game that may or may not exist where you read a line from a famous work of literature and you have to guess who the author is. i'm sure this is a game someone has invented, but if not, please don't steal my idea cuz i know nerds would be all over that
okay i know there's one game where you have to guess a redacted wiki page???? mai would like that one
ty lee's favorite daily word game is reading her horoscope and then making leaps in logic to determine how it specifically applies to her and her personal situation that day
azula forces herself to improve her crossword game just so that she can beat sokka's time every day. not because sokka is aware that they are in competition (he blissfully isn't) but just for her own personal fulfillment. don't worry guys this is healthy. she's fine :)
#kyoshialone#asks#i guess this is#modern au#the gaang and#tbh i dont understand the appeal of games#explain the point of them. quickly#and dont say to have fun bc theyre not fun#not once have i ever played a game and been like 'this is a better use of my time than doing something creative or reading a book or#having a conversation with interesting people'#and at any point in time that i played a game i couldve been doing at least one of those things#so#there are like. very few exceptions#but otherwise games are for virgins and natasha lyonne (cuz i know she loves wordle but i still respect her)#(even tho shes fucked fred armisen so she may as well as be a virgin anyway. wait where was i)

god i forgot how much i missed libraries. you mean i can read all these books for free? i can listen to all these audiobooks for free? i don't even need to pay anything to make a library card? i can print stuff here for basically free? god libraries fucking rule
#caroline talks#anyways the library is a very short walk away from my place#and i wanted to start crying when i just. realized. OH YEAH. I REMEMBER THIS NOW#in college the nearest library was pretty far from me so i didn't really go?#so like. for the first time in literally four years. i'm borrowing books from the library again#and i'm just like. OH GOD YEAH. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS . . .#i forgot how i used to be the kid stashing so many library books in her lil' library bag#and the librarian smiling at me bc she knew that i would read every single one of them and borrow even more books later#i remember how i used to use my high school's library a whole lot too like i think there was a borrowing limit#but i used to LOVE it so much#god i think in a different life i would have decided to become a librarian#i would have been content to spend the rest of my life surrounded by books and recommending books to people

okay so i finally read a ballad of songbirds and snakes which led to me rereading the hunger games trilogy over the past week (SO GOOD i could make a whole other post) but then i thought it would be a good idea to watch the movies but then literally started sobbing from the beginning and started again every time single time they showed rue before the games even started or anything
#as a standalone book abosas is like ok but i actually thought it was fascinating like just how the games developed#like seeing how the media and sponsors started and then rereading the original books its SO interesting#im really tired but the relationship between the districts and capitol and tributes and audience and everything... suzanne is a genius#also i briefly went into the tags on here and my one thing is why are people not talking about tigris more??#she could have a whole other book#i wish i could talk to suzanne collins and ask her why she chose tigris of all people to become a stylist and then what happened#did she think she could help the tributes like her cousin and then they had a disagreement of some kind?#no one is doing it like her#and im just blown away like rereading the books bc yeah theyre incredibly violent and there's the stuff with that peacekeeper#and then finnick in the capitol which is real and painful but it's so different from popular ya currently#idk what middle schoolers are reading these days but im just thinking about how acotar is marketed as ya#i just appreciated how katniss loves people and you can tell by her/their actions words etc instead of everything being some crazy#physical attraction all the time#which makes sense with katniss's circumstances and everything and she even says like she doesn't want to get married etc#because of the world they live in and thg isn't a romance obviously while the popular newer books im thinking of are marketed as romance so#maybe im just mad bc i gave in and read fourth wing and it was so garbage#idk i have a lot of thoughts but i dont think these are making sense

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is literal hot garbage and I will die on this hill.
#like it’s literally one of the worst constructed/written books I have ever encountered#how on earth could Yarros be married to a 20+ year military vet and yet still not even understand the most basic military concepts#it’s honestly astounding how brain dead her characters are#the way she writes makes it abundantly obvious that she thinks her readers are a bunch of idiots#who need every single story theme and element hand fed to them#the introduction of Varrish was just utter bullshit#she could have painted ‘VILLAIN’ on his forehead and it would’ve been less obvious#please tell us again how smart your main character is while she proceeds to do the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen#‘oh why won’t xaden trust me with rebellion secrets even though I basically announce my suspicions of the empire at every turn?’#idk violet maybe it’s bc you won’t do the mind training they’ve been telling you to do#so you’re constantly vulnerable to the mindreader YOU KNOW PERSONALLY#maybe that’s why no one tells you anything???#also holy shit her being like ‘I have to be careful and not let the empire know I’m questioning my duties’#and then immediately crashing into a scribe meeting to request more red flag reading??#like??? was she kicked in the head???#also the dragons stating multiple times that humans are basically like ants to them and they don’t care if they live or die#but simultaneously having to somehow be subserveant to the military????#bitch why weren’t you all enslaved by the dragons#this is such nonsense#also her prose is ass#come back when you can tell the difference between parse and parcel Rebecca#yeah a lot of my complaints are iron flame related#but that’s just bc it really hit home how bad this all is with the second book#net zero improvement#way to fail downwards Rebecca#ALSO!! what evil empire would conscript their enemies children into the one branch of their military where they get DRAGONS and SUPERPOWERS#like what??!!#in what world#what military would be so afraid of a new rebellion that they conscript the people with deep emotional ties to the old rebellion???#if real militaries worked this way there would be no more war bc we’d all be dead

Reading a court of thorns and roses bc it's been rec'd to me many times (by the same two friends mostly) and also I've never really read a smut novel before and Jesus christ this protagonist is insufferable
#first of all its like the author tried to recreate katniss everdeen without any fundamental understanding of her character#like the reason the whole 'i hunt and provide for my family because no one else will' thing works for katniss is that her mother is ill#and her sister is like 8 years old#so like yeah obviously she'd be the one to provide#but feyre is like 'i have to do everything around here because my two OLDER sisters simply dont feel like doing chores'#like what????#i get that her dying mother for some reason put the responsibilities on her but it makes 0 sense#like whoever wrote this was clearly a youngest sibling with a martyr complex because its just. so heavy handed#also her insistence that nesta is simply too shallow and vapid to do what she does makes me roll my eyes every other page#honestly justice for nesta#1) if my sister started doing all of the hunting and providing without ever communicating why i would probably assume she wanted to do it#2) if after our mothers death she started completely resenting everything i do and glaring at me constantly id think she blames me for it#3) being around that kind of smug negative energy would absolutely make me start to be a little mean too even just as a defense mechanism#4) shes constantly assuming the worst in nesta and is proven at least twice to be an unreliable narrator in regards to nestas priorities#also that comment feyre made about how smug she felt after leaving knowing that her family would 'starve without her' god what an asshole#like you cant present yourself as so much morally better than your sisters and then turn around and say shit like that#anyway im hoping she becomes less insufferable as the story goes on#im told the first book is the worst in the series so i just gotta power through for the sake of world building#j reads acotar series#<<<feel free to blacklist if u dont want spoilers and/or critiques of this series bc i plan to vent on here a lot abt it
