[ladysophiebeckett]

I just wanted to say everything I’ve read about HOTD makes it sound like it’s a complete mess, but your tags are hilarious and almost make me want to watch it. I too would support Rhaenyra’s war crimes!!

@the-greendalehumanbeings

u have no idea how nice this message is. i would encourage u to watch it bc its legit a soap opera in a fantasy setting. easier to consume than GoT and u get to pick ur fave war criminal. its marketing is similar to twilight where u pick a team and if there's anything i love, its picking a side. (team black). the dragons are ugly and i cant tell them apart but its fine.

(i mean in 1x10 you can lol)

the good wife for the fandom ask!

I checked and the last ask meme I (self-)reblogged was this one:

feel like doing the one where you send me a fandom and I’ll tell you my top 3/5 favourite characters (depending on the size of the cast) and my singular most hated one.

If you meant something else feel free to send out another ask :P

But honestly? I have no idea what my Top 5 for this show would be lol. I really like Kalinda, but her storylines could let me down and it meant I never really got overly invested. Peter is... Peter, but my GOD are his plots entertaining xD. Eli Gold is a treasure. Alicia as a person is... well, Alicia, but I love following her plot and she's very, VERY hot. Diane is plainly amazing in everything except her choice of husband, but it didn't get as bad in TGW yet. Lucca Quinn is great. Elsbeth Tascioni? Pure, distilled perfection. I have a soft spot for Grace. And Marisa Gold (although for both her and Lucca, The Good Fight is part of why I like them). The show also had the most delightful array of guest stars I've ever encountered (all the annoying rival layers and weirdo judges and irksome clients añsdlkfjaf. Very realistic!).

So idk. Pick anyone from that list. In any order. It fluctuated.

As for least favourite... idk either. In a different show it would've 100% being Will, but circumstances conspired and I'm actually fond of the guy LOL. Hmm... that blonde layer that liked to play the ingenue got on my nerves... Nancy? Nancy Crozier. My reaction to her was exactly the same as Alicia's xD

[punch-love]

Could you give us some of your fic recs as well? 🙏🏼

I've been waiting for this ask. * is for all time favorites.

Classics/Required Reading:

Between Apollo and Arachne. / He is Soundless From Afar. / Blood Sickness. by elastic honey (infernoconcealed)

I got into this fandom specifically because of this author. I think all of their work is incredible but, these three are my favorites and also the first bookmarks I ever made. I like the ways they explore their dynamic, and they often explore darker scenarios between the two of them with a lot of heart and nuance.

How To Get Physical by Wilt

I like their writing as much as I like their art, but this one in particular is a consistent re-read for me. It's a trans Peter written by a clearly trans writer, and it's soft and kind and good-hearted in a way that really, really sells the history between them.

Up to the Sun (Full Speed Ahead, Mr. Parker) by SleepsWithCoyotes

The first AU I really enjoyed and also one of the best. Eldritch horror Wade that goes from a massive tentacle creature to an off-putting mercenary that gets attached to Spider-Man. It's great. The whole verse is great.

for the wrong reasons by orphan_account

This is one of my favorite Wade character studies of all time. He gets hit with a truth serum and ends up at Peter's apartment. It's sad and complicated and perfect, and I've read it more than a few times.

gunpowder and firewood / steel and flint * by periodically_puzzled

This is forever one of my favorites. It's the best first-person POV in the fandom hands down and is just so fucking good. It's got everything, idenity porn, grindr, complicated explorations of emotional manipulation, bromance, and it's so very funny.

Snake Oil by BunsofHoney

This was so good that my writing group chat temporarily re-named our chat after it. Peter is a preacher and Wade is a possessed snake oil salesman. It's very good, and also you will learn something about the 20s as it is immensely well researched.

Blazed (Smoking Weed is Gay) * by GreendaleHumanBeing

This is one of my all-time favorites. Peter is coping with his midlife crisis by being a huge stoner, and Wade has mellowed out and joins him for long smoke sessions. It's very slice of life, intimate, slow burn friends to lovers. It's one of those reads that just feels really, really good and relatable.

Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) by Sarah_Sandwich

A soulmate/slice of life work that really will make you feel something profound by the end of it. I read this one at four in the morning and didn't sleep until I was finished with it. It made me feel something big.

Dog Years by androgynousdouche

This is the only unfinished work on this list but man, is it a hidden treasure. They really build a foundation for the relationship and the intimacy between these two is so....it's really good. I wish it was finished, but even though it's not, I still think it's worth the read.

Porn:

Tip of the Tongue * by TimidTurnip

I think this is probably the work I go back and re-read the most. It's got everything. Peter Parker's insane oral fixation, his inability to come to terms with his own bi-sexuality, homies who are mean to each other dynamics, and worship based blow jobs. It's great. You should read it.

i could show you and stop (don't stop) by jilliancares

I think this is probably two of the most infamous smut works in the fandom but they both really, really deserve the hype. The first is the eating out fic of all time specifically for me but also for a lot of other people and the second is my favorite situational porn.

Meeting Minutes */ Pitter Patter by WhoopsOK

These are hands down the best watersports fics in the entire fandom. I've read the entire tag, I would know. The first has Peter being hit by a truth serum and telling his fantasies to Wade who intentionally does not sleep with him, and it's hot and good dynamic wise. The second is just a very hot scenario where Peter pisses in Wade's mouth while he works behind the counter. Great stuff.

a luxury few can afford by three-fingered (calciseptine)

I love the way this author writes them so much. It's fun and fresh and so good at building up some good old-fashioned tension. It also has some great character study moments inbetween blow jobs (my beloved)

Fucked Up Shit:

she's not going to die today / Songs for the Zombie Apocalypse / Need You Like A Gun To The Head * by (zerospoons_onlyknives)oprime

I also consider these classics/required reading but they are all very dark and go places that fans of the classic dynamic might be surprised by. SNGTDT is the best and darkest soulmate AU you'll ever read. SftZA is not only an incredible zombie AU but also one of my personal favorite pieces of zombie fiction period. NYLaGttH is one of my favorite smut fics of all time and one I often re-read (the title should be taken literally)

twisted, baby by jilliancares

The Peter "adrenaline kink" Parker work. It's dubious and intimate and exhilarating in a way that never gets old.

tap out whenever by periodically_puzzled

also known as "the fic that triggers me so bad that I've never commented on it despite reading it eight times" this is like. One of the darkest works in the fandom, hands down and if you can relate at all with the content, will put you in some sort of headspace. It's excellent. It's horrifying.

Because You're Mine *- WaterMe

I absolutely love this one. It's a sex-pollen turned non-con work that is very dark (mind the tags) but if you want to go there, this is the place to go. I always come back to it and find something new to appreciate. Also the only second person work I've ever enjoyed/felt affected by in the way I think second person is supposed to do. (honorary mention by this author: their Arbor day fic)

Sinking by coveryourheads

This one is hard to describe, but if you're interested in some really nuanced work on sexuality, this one will sit with you for a while. Peter and Wade are in an intense D/s relationship that is both abstract and personal in ways I've never really read about before.

Peter is burnt out. Wade has been watching a lot of cult classics. Everyone tells them they're in love. Five times these fucking nerds smoke weed together.

Peter’s high is fading into a disgruntled sleepiness. Does Johnny not understand simple math? Peter is a washed-up hero disenchanted by even being a hero by night. He hustles to make it up to communities affected by his past reckless hero-ing. And the rest of the time he’s a washed-up grad student turned line-cook. Smoking weed at the end of long days wondering how long he can keep up. Why would anyone waste their time with him romantically? Even Peter doesn’t like wasting time with himself.

Johnny actually has the gall to turn around and glare at Peter before turning back to his phone.

[mskatesharma]

i love you tags! yeah i can’t believe more people aren’t complaining about the fact these two sisters didn’t have a convo that wasn’t abt Anthony after episode one. it was glaringly obvious. even in episode 1 though the only thing these two girls talked about was suitors. they barely had a conversation that wasn’t about a man or alluded to a man. the show tries to play their conflict as about the sisterly relationship but it is way too anthony centric. i really hated that they had Edwina cry over not being good enough for anthony & watching her try so hard to please him. idk i did not watch this show to see a brown woman try so desperately to win this white man’s approval.

the sisterly relationship was weird bc Kate was really playing more of a maternal role but the show also didn’t want to Mary to be seen as an absent mother. (they had no idea what to do with Mary and that is so obvious in the first episodes). they sacrificed so much of the Sharma relationship to make Kate and Anthony mirrors. and what’s worse is that they didn’t even bother to properly explore the new dynamics of the sharma family or explore Kate’s different personality and trauma. i never got the vibe that either sister really new each other at all and that’s largely bc i don’t think they really knew themselves. sorry this got long!

I think you're referring to the tags on this post, which were (please mind the awful grammer):

#kate & edwina#bridgerton#kate sharma#edwina sharma#the viscount who loved me#of my favourite bits of the book and I honestly get teary everytime#*one of#the fact that we didn’t get an equivalent scene in the show#instead most? all? of their conversations after episode one centred on anthony is something i’ll hate these writers for forever#naaaah the way a white man came between these two sisters will never not infuriate me#jfc i will never be over the way they completely butchered kate & edwina#and the sharmas as a whole#WHERE WAS THE KATE AND EDWINA LOVE STORY YOU KEPT GOING ON ABOUT BECAUSE IM STILL WAITING TO SEE IT#soulmates my arse

They really didn't have a conversation that wasn't somehow related to Anthony after episode one, did they? It's so bleak jfc. When they released the posters for this season, and they had Anthony in the middle of Kate and Edwina, I was pissed off for so many reasons, but one of the main ones being this white man was shoved in the middle of these two South Asian sisters. I remember telling someone that if I hadn't read the book and didn't know about Kate and Anthony, that main poster would have turned me off watching season two, because it's the last thing that I would want to watch. It was so fucking reductive, but I guess it was a good indication that the storyline was going to be as well.

You are absolutely right that they didn't know what to do with Mary, they wasted her character (and Shelley Conn), as she was basically a non-entity for the for the first five/six episodes,?

Tbh, I didn't necessarily mind that they tilted it to make Kate and Anthony mirror each other even further, it's just infuriating because they altered the Sharma family dynamic so drastically when they didn't need to. You could have had Kate take on the mantle of being the de facto head of family, but still have Mary trying to emotionally support both her daughters, like she does in the books? The Sharmas could have still had a bond similar to that of the Sheffields in the book, with both Mary and Edwina knowing what Kate really wants, but Kate struggling to admit it to them, and them not neccesarily knowing why she struggles. Kate seemed so lonely on the show, for no reason, because even Anthony had Violet and Daphne in his corner encouraging him to choose happiness and love, because they could see that marrying Edwina was not what he truly wanted. On the show, Mary and Edwina thought that what Kate craved most was freedom and independence, and returning to India, when that wasn't it at all.

I just…I feel like Kate and Edwina's (and Mary's) relationship on the show had next to none of the warmth that we see in their book relationship? You never really got the sense that they understood the other better than anyone else. Edwina's line in episode eight where she says Kate "does not know herself" pisses me off, because actually, Kate knows who she is and what she wants, she's just been too scared to admit it and really go for it because a) she doesn't think she's deserving of it or done enough to earn it, and b) she doesn't want to open herself up to a similar heartbreak like she suffered when her father died. It takes Mary telling Kate that she deserves to be happy, and that she doesn't owe people things in return for being loved, for Kate to actually admit what she wants.

And like you said, they didn't properly explore Kate's trauma and grief, and just how that affected everything she's done since her father died. Yes Edwina was right to be angry, but we never get a conversation between her and Kate where it's acknowledged exactly what Kate has sacrificed, and what else she was willing to give up if she thought it meant Edwina (and Mary) would be settled and happy. And it sucks.

there’s so much edwina bashing in the tags, could you recommend some nice bloggers? or just people who don’t viciously hate our diamond?

Hi! I absolutely can! I linked either their Edwina tag or posts expressing their opinions about her! I think is good to read positive insights every now and then. Some of them are gifmakers too which is amazing! ❤️

Hope this doesn’t sound weird but I was scrolling through some of your good place tags and you’re completely right there are a lot of similarities between Jeff in community and Eleanor. Lmao the community characters in the good place experiment would have been something else. Micheal would have probably begged Shawn to retire him or something 😂

not weird at all! <3

community characters in a fake good place would have driven micheal insane, i agree.

idk how to properly word this but i think tgp was in a way, a community copy cat that was a ratings success\critical darling by association with a showrunner with a 'better' reputation.

i have complicated opinions on tgp but its overall success in american pop culture can be explained in memes; only s1 tgp gets memed. popular community memes range fm the first 3 seasons with some minor exceptions fm the later seasons. tdlr; imo community's longevity > tgp's 'this is the bad place' meme.

you didnt ask this but i always feel a need to say this again and again bc im a broken record.

10 characters, 10 fandoms

RULES: List your ten favorite characters from ten separate fandoms, then tag ten people!

I was tagged by @gecemi09 (ty!)

-Jason Todd from the DCU. Given what my blog has become, it's only appropriate he goes first! I love plenty of DC characters, and the list keeps growing as I read more and more comics, but he's ~especial lol. The true entry point of my love for the universe at large; a character practically, yet accidentally tailored for my tastes. I think about him nearly as much as his detractors do xD

-Caroline Forbes from the Plecverse. Another one that simply must be on the list. My forever girl *points at my icon*. Another character who accidentally became exactly what I love to see, with a story arc that still makes me giddy to this day.

-Max from Black Sails. And from characters that achieved greatness often in spite of their writers' intentions, to one who was written and crafted with such purposefulness I'm still marvelled at her whole... everything. Watch Black Sails. Meet Max.

-Laila Rose from The Essence of the Equinox. Laila is an absolutely enchanting lead character. The ensemble of this saga has some characters that immediately caught my eye, who fulfill specific cravings I've looked to satiate for years, but she raises aboves them thanks to the love and care and grace put on crafting her by her author.

-Buffy Summers from the Buffyverse. What can I say about Buffy that I haven't said a thousand times. I love her. I think she's one of the best lead characters ever written. I love her.

-Nikita Mears from the CW's Nikita. She is IT. That is all. Watch Nikita. Thank me later.

-Veronica Mars from Veronica Mars. Title female characters that are actually title characters, my beloved.

-Dutch from Killjoys. This list is filled so far with characters that I both admire endlessly and want to protect from the world's cruelty, despite how much they don't need my feeble body as a shield xD. Dutch is no exception. She's incredible. I would kill for her. Etc. etc.

-The Marquise de Merteuil from Dangerous Liaisons. I was in between her and Bela Talbot from Supernatural, but this list needed a character who is objectively terrible yet I love to pieces xDD. And this book's writing >>>>>>

-John Murphy from The 100. As my rewatch approaches its end, I have to name one (1) character from this bad-yet-good-yet-bad-yet show (classic CW <3). And he's still atop the mountain, baby.

LAST SONG: "A Room of Her Own", from the Black Swan soundtrack, by Clint Mansell.

CURRENTLY WATCHING: this week I'm in a (more or less) tv hiatus lol, but I'm currently catching up with Attack on Titan and La Promesa, and I watched Poker Face's pilot.

CURRENTLY READING: *deep breath*

First, the newsletters I'm following at the moment (AND I'M ALL CAUGHT UP WITH BBY):

"Divine Comedy"

"Pride and Prejudice" (actually just started reading ahead on this one because emails have stopped coming).

The Annotated Sherlock Holmes (currently on "The Empty House")

"The Land of Oz"

"The Scarlet Letter"

AND I'm reading "Angels in America" AND re-reading "When The Stars Alight", since now I have the paperback version.

AND I'm Back At It (reading detective comics comics as if they hadn't betrayed me deeply a gazillion times before). Specifically, I'm re-reading Jason's Robin era, and *sighs* "The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing" (I've been promised it has good Jason content and I wanted something really recent. So far I GUESS the Jason's content is above average, regarding the post-reboot stuff I know, but. We'll see).

CURRENT OBSESSION: ....... obviously Jason. I got a fic idea from a post's tags today and I've been thinking of him all day <3
