I love the phrase creature comforts. I am just a little creature. and I would like to be comfortable. thank.

Hate to be that person, but WW3 trend on TikTok is not funny at all, especially your stupid POVs. Because no, Jessica from Chicago, you won’t have to hide in the basement to avoid being nuked and no, Kyle from LA, you won’t get drafted to the front lines. 

You again missed the whole point and managed to make this situation all about yourself, so I’m going to assure your stupid ass - this war is not going to affect you in any way, but you know who it’s going to affect? Actual people from Ukraine, who are going to lose their lives and be displaced from their homes, just like for the past 8 years. 

So congratulations on your stupidity, because it’s not about “I need a way to cope 🥺🥺🥺”, it’s about you celebrating and making fun of other people’s death.

also attractiveness in the modern age is determined by looking perfect for images but not any allure or personality. remember when people were weird looking but attractive bc they were confident and had sex appeal and it didnt matter that their faces were not symmetrical

I love that esme got downgraded from being a literally unstoppable villain to a mildly homicidal weasel sidekick

Safi: Desperate times call for desperate measures

Iseult: Now is not a desperate time!

[bookpostsfordays]

Iseult: Okay gotta go

Leopold: “the most shocking and nonsensical thing ever”

Iseult: I should’ve known

[un-empressed]

Vaness: *coughs violently*

Vivia: don't die

Vaness: don't tell me what to do

Witchshadow thoughts: SPOILERS!!

Witchshadow was a breath of fresh air. There were new interactions and exploration of side characters and it felt more mature and serious than the previous books.

Dynamics I loved: Stix/Ryber, Vivia/Vaness, the Hell-Bards/Safi/Leopold, and of course Iseult/Gretchya!

Witchshadow is Iseults book and we finally get her backstory! She’s been pretty inscrutable and is nearly *unrecognizable* when Witchshadow opens, but we finally find out why!

It’s worth noting Iseult was supposed to have two books. She has two very different arcs over the course of Witchshadow: one in the past, one in the present.

Witchshadow is… a bit of a chunker (audiobook is ~20 hrs) BUT!! The settings and perspectives are all so different, and the action and tension are so high that I never wanted to put it down!

Also, the accents!! I never knew the Witchlands had accents but they make so much sense (!) and really make the geography/world building click

Witchshadow is HEAVIER than the other books, but still true to the heart of this series. Iseult and Safi are growing into their roles as the Cahr Awen, making difficult choices with serious consequences. There’s a prophesied war *looming* and no one is safe.

Also there’s a semi-sentient and formally-villainous weasel and I love her.

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

“Power is being able to say complete and utter nonsense and have it be believed, powerlessness is where no matter how much cogent evidence and proof one has, to not be believed.”

No, you can’t tell me otherwise that Howl and Sophie’s relationship from the start wasn’t an Enemies/Rivals to lovers trope because it is what it is.

HOWL TRIED TO CURE SOPHIES ARTHRITIS

SOPHIE THROWS WEED KILLER AT HIM

And then they get married.

Enemies to lovers but only one of them thinks they're enemies
