hi <3 I love: kpop (skz and bts), books (riordanverse, harry potter, hunger games, soc, & more), movies & shows (a:tla, asoue, kdramas & cdramas, & more), sewing, dance, and aesthetic!

writing a screenplay to map out a story without spending too much time fleshing out individual settings, expressions, and narration is highkey underrated

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

[bravebookfan]

when I can't write, something too obvious like the imprint of one glow in the dark star

I wish there were more people who not only loved Leigh Bardugo's universe but also her showstopping writing. There are 3 things that I love about her Six of Crows duology: world building, characters, and dialogue.

At the start of each of her books, there are detailed, relevant maps that are logical and highly well-thought through. The insane amount of knowledge the reader gains after reading just two books is all due to proper planning and seamless writing. Not only does she touch on the basic differences between each nation, but Leigh also speaks on culture, religion, historical figures and events, physical appearance, and economics. The author clearly has experience and broad-ended knowledge on the entire world, down to the crumbs.

Our main characters: Jesper, Wylan, Kaz, Inej, Nina, and Matthias, each get their own backstories and personalities that feel so utterly real. Their inner turmoil and relationships with other characters as well as developments are subtly seen. The characters grow and overcome something that's ingrained in them.

Jesper: escaping from his Fabrikator abilities, running away from responsibilities, and Kaz's forgiveness

Inej: the manacles that the Menagerie chained her with, the Iron Blade/her shadow, remaining faithful and true

Kaz: trauma and physical touch, letting himself be vulnerable

Matthias: breaking away from the iron beliefs that the Fjerdans drilled into him, loving Nina and the Crows

Wylan: letting himself be successful despite dyslexia, escaping from the clutches of Van Eck, finding Marya

Nina: saving Grishas, jurda parem

Finally, dialogue that is compelling and funny is something unexpected from such a dark and ambitious story. The bantering and conversations between all characters are absolutely enchanting. Nothing more to say.

Leigh Bardugo was born for writing. This story is stuck in my brain.

[bravebookfan]

She’s the Man is one of the most enjoyable movies ever ngl

[bravebookfan]

nico di angelo is overrated. I’m sorry.

[bravebookfan]

K-dramas and C-dramas really are something else. I did more screaming and running around while watching Business Proposal than in all of the white romance movies I’ve watched combined.

[bravebookfan]

why do I get notes every day from this

[bravebookfan]

!! Elimination Ranking for A:TLA Characters !!

[bravebookfan]

Would it kill kpop idols to not be so attractive wtf

[bravebookfan]

The Carnivorous Carnival (A Series of Unfortunate Events) insulting contortionists and ambidextrous people throughout the book was one of the highlights of the novel.

[bravebookfan]

K-dramas and C-dramas really are something else. I did more screaming and running around while watching Business Proposal than in all of the western romance movies I’ve watched combined.

!! Sorting the 7 in Hogwarts Houses (Vibes vs. Traits) !!

1. Annabeth Chase

Vibes: Slytherin Even though Annabeth is obviously a Ravenclaw, the way she’s described remind me of a Slytherin

Traits: Ravenclaw Obviously

2. Piper McLean

Vibes: Gryffindor Piper is strong and brave + she seems to value bravery

Traits: Housestall between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff She’s a Gryffindor for reasons above but Piper is loving, patient and loyal

3. Frank Zhang

Vibes: Hufflepuff He’s such a cinnamon roll <3

Traits: Housestall between Slytherin and Hufflepuff He is a great leader (like a Slytherin) and wanted to prove himself to Mars. Frank also matched basically all of Hufflepuff’s traits.

4. Percy Jackson

Vibes: Housestall between Slytherin and Gryffindor He was always daring to the gods and reminds me of Harry Potter so...

Traits: Housestall between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw I’ve said before that Percy is really creative with his plans (eg. throwing space food into the Nemean Lion’s mouth) and actually pretty smart. He’s curious and witty. He’s also super brave.

5. Hazel Levesque

Vibes: Housestall between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff Seemed super headstrong and daring as well but loving, patient, and loyal like a Hufflepuff.

Traits: Hufflepuff Said above, was caring and would be great as a leader in that sweet way.

6. Leo Valdez

Vibes: Gryffindor He was always daring

Traits: Gryffindor but maybe a little Ravenclaw Matched Gryffindor traits, also very creative and witty

7. Jason Grace

Vibes: Housestall between Hufflepuff and Slytherin Cared so much for the minor gods that it’s impossible not to consider Hufflepuff. He’s hardworking and loyal. Jason always seemed ambitious in my eyes

Traits: Housestall between Slytherin and Gryffindor A great leader, determined (to build shrines for minor gods), but also brave, chivalrous, and willing to die for better cause.

!! Who Has the Best Backstory of the 7 (Worst to Best) !!

7. Piper McLean

I promise this isn’t biased but Piper’s backstory was very basic. I still don’t understand how she managed to avoid the satyrs that were supposed to bring her to Camp Half-Blood but didn’t until 16 ?? she was supposedly powerful too and wasn’t running away like Leo did.

6. Percy Jackson

His backstory just wasn’t tragic enough 😔

5. Frank Zhang

His backstory seemed a little rushed but like all of them were ;-; Him being descendants of Poseidon and all of the history with the gods was pretty interesting.

4. Annabeth Chase

Her backstory was good and not rushed but the others were just a little better...

3. & 2. Tie between Jason Grace and Leo Valdez

Both stories were developed to some degree. Jason having experience was described and not just told + Leo’s sad story with his mom were great! Also, I love that both of them have been affected by Hera/Juno (Hera took control of Jason’s life and the stuff with Leo’s aunt)

HONORABLE MENTION: Nico and Bianca Di Angelo had compelling backstories and deserved a mention. Also Zoë Nightshade!

1. Hazel Levesque

Her story was interesting and I love the bit with her mother and the cursed gems. I kinda forgot that she came back from the dead though, and also I’m pretty sure the timeline is a bit messed up from when Thanatos was captured and when she joined Camp Jupiter. Her placing is not a surprise.

[bravebookfan]

I would give anything to read the Hunger Games for the first time

[bravebookfan]

!! Historical Fiction Books Set During WWII !!

1. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr [2 perspectives, IT’S COMING TO NETFLIX??]

2. Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

[4 perspectives, I read this in about 2 hours]

3. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

[1 perspective, heart wrenching apparently? I never finished it but I’m sure it’s great! also a film]

[bravebookfan]

!! My thoughts on the new PJO show !!

This show has a very promising cast (I love Walker Scobell as Percy) and I really hope that they match the physical descriptions of the characters (but obviously them matching the personality of the characters is more important) because some of the traits are important eg. Luke’s scar. Btw, Olivea Morton as Nancy Bobofit was such a great choice and she looks like she could also be Rachel!

This show could be a hit or miss in terms of production because of the technology used (Rick said on the website that the technology for settings has never been before used) but I’m sure it will be fantastic :)

I’m so, so excited for this show and I know that we, the fans, will not be disappointed! I’m not sure when the first season will come out, apparently it will be next spring?
