One reason I'll always prefer Nesta to Feyre is because Feyre never takes the blame for anything, whereas Nesta is always taking the blame.

Even more than that, though, is that Feyre is always blaming Nesta for the sins of their parents. Feyre, rather than blaming herself, her tutor, or her parents for being illiterate, blames Nesta (and Elain). Feyre blames Nesta (and Elain) for their educational decisions, although, since the dawn of time, I don't believe there's ever been a time when children have been able to make decisions on schooling; that has always been a parents decision, yet Feyre blames her sisters. She blames Nesta (and Elain, but more so Nesta) rather than Papa Archeron for letting her hunt. Feyre blames Nesta, rather than Mama Archeron, for grooming Nesta. As a younger sister myself, I have a hard time understanding or even forgiving Feyre for trying to make Nesta into her mother. Nesta's literally only three years older than Feyre, yet Feyre seems to blame her anytime something goes wrong.

Meanwhile, Nesta's so used to being blamed for everything that she blames herself for everything too. She's a typical abused child. Nesta doesn't make everyone's trauma about herself, but she does blame herself for everyone's trauma happening in the first place.

Latest Sketch-a-Wish voted on by my lovely Patreon members for September, featuring Elspeth and Ravyn from ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig! I don't know about you all, but I got Pride vibes (from Full Metal Alchemist) with The Nightmare and so paid a little homage to that here. I know functionally it would be more like Greed/Ling, but the patient and lethal personality reminded me of Pride.

I already miss these two! And I love this drawing of them 🥰🥺🥰

I enjoy all the headcanons of Ballister and Ambrosius becoming Nimona's dad's, because it ignores that she's actually at least a thousand years old. Just two gay men trying to father an eldritch being that's literally older than the hills

[keikomivra]

NIMONA + LETTERBOXD REVIEWS

[lantaniel]

and then they adopted each other and lived happily ever after, the end (HA)

so yeah, go watch Nimona, it's great

I am so not okay with Malina and Dommik sacrificing themselves to break the bridge 😭

I wanted them to have a peaceful, beautiful life with a cute adoptive daughter 😭

Malina's character arc has truly been one of the best ones I have ever read and it seems so unfair that they should die when bloody Kaila survived 🤬🤬

"I am your assassin so I am in charge of your death" truly broke me 💔

I'll just go back to sobbing on the couch now 😭

I just finished Goldfinch and I am not ok 😭 I cannot believe it is over 😭

[dealfea]

Just finished 'Gwen and Art are not in Love' by Lex Croucher and I did not expect to love this book as much as I do 🥺🥰

I admit that I am always a sucker for nerdy, quiet men and strong women with swords but I truly loved every bit of this book. 💙

Art's depression felt so relatable and I truly wish his father had met a worse end.

It was so fun and also had so many gut wrenchingly sad moments.

Can only recommend!

'Gwen & Art Are Not In Love' - 2023

patreon | shop | instagram | twitter | ko-fi | commissions

So excited to share this official fan art commission by new queer fantasy bestie, the fabulous and now NYT best-selling author Lex Croucher.

Had the best time reading the book and falling in love with these crazy gays and getting to put my spin on them has been a true joy and feels like a beautiful end to such a fulfilling year.

Prints and stickers up in the shop.

And pick up any of Lex's books (but especially this one) at all good booksellers x

Ooh! These are so stunning 🥰😍

Currently re-reading the Plated Prisoner in time for Goldfinch in September. Just finished Gleam (because apparently I can only binge read these books) and am completely heartbroken again 😭💔 knowing what will happen made Auren loosing her ribbons even worse
