It's a little chaotic in here. Please be kind :) Follows from @wibsilein

Watching the men's single figure skating my only thought upon witnessing Ilia Malinin was "didn't that exact same thing happen on Yuri on Ice???"

Like, the supposedly sure bet for a podium/medal scoring way less than expected? Bc I'm having a major deja vu and this is like the 3rd time in my life I'm watching figure skating.

I love Derrick and Derek and how they treat Jean

✨🤌🏼☺️😘🥰

It's all fun and games with Neil 'I'd rather be free than safe' Josten vs. Kevin 'I'd rather be safe than free' Day - until you whip out Jean 'Please just kill me' Moreau

[crumplelush]

the real reason jean didn’t join the foxes is that andrew would have had to upgrade to a soccer mom minivan to fit all his emotionally repressed exy queer ducklings in and nora couldn’t handle writing that

hi sweethearts, I need your help 🤍

first, thank u all for being so sweet to me. ive missed this lil place<3

I wanted to share something special with you all!! I’m currently conducting research exploring how BookTok influences female attitudes and behaviors regarding sex, particularly in the context of new adult fiction and smut!! (you know the vibes)

My study is looking at how the discussions and recommendations on BookTok shape readers' views and experiences, and all of your insights could really help me out! If you're 18+, I’d love for you to take my anonymous survey.

You can find the survey here: Survey Link.

(plus, everyone who participates will have a chance to win a $15 Barnes & Noble gift card! 🎉)

& i'd so appreciate if you shared this with your friends too! The more perspectives I can gather, the better.

your support is invaluable! smut in books is a common topic of discussion, esp on booktok, and everyone has a unique take on what it means and the impact it may have. My hope is that this study will bring new insights into that question, while also examining the broader influence of BookTok as an online community for womxn. like im so excited to see the results and add to that never-ending booktok conversation of: is smut good? bad? are we all sex addicts like non-booktok thinks?? 😩or perhaps just more sex positive??? we shall see <3

still foaming at the mouth at the fact that neil and andrew have matching flip phones, matching coats, matching armbands, they both have keys to the maserati. the fact that they are inseparable to the point that jean notices the way they move like they are caught in each other's gravity, the lingering looks when one falls out of the orbit for too long. neil learning the importance of give and take from andrew and offering jean something in exchange for keeping him alive. you are what you love or whatever

we don’t talk enough about the ronan/gansey and andrew/kevin parallels enough

[alcorianight]

One thing I loved about Lockwood and Co. is just. The girls are pro brute force and the guys are all about proper technique. (Not all girls and not all guys but like, yeah).

Like it's Lockwood and Kipps that are finicky about proper stances and rapier technique (and iirc they both fenced (and Flo kicked their butts cause she's a legend)) and then there's Lucy and Kat who are just like "Look at that conveniently placed heavy object. Imma hit someone with that."

And it's great to me because I feel like in most works of fiction girls have to have exceptional technique and training to be on par with guys in fights, and then Stroud just flips the script. It's great. As a girl I appreciate other brute force girls.

My favorite thing about Lockwood is the fact that he tries so hard to be cool but he is literally an actual human disaster and sixteen, so whenever he makes a slick one liner he’s internally going “yessss that was SO cool, I nailed that” and then Lucy and George are cheering in the background because they also think he’s So cool. But Holly and Kipps both absolutely do not, because they are full legal adults so they’re like “oh my gosh the cringe rn, I can’t believe this is my boss”

[ghost-touch-kills]

I’m doing a reread of Lockwood and Co where taking note of things for fandom reasons and want opinions on other things I should look for. (Im already looking at Locklyle development for a playlist)
