genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

The more mediaeval history I read, the more I appreciate that Samantha Shannon depicts characters from Virtuedom as properly devout, and does so thoughtfully. There's a whole sliding scale of morality among them, but even those are who are self-seeking aren't wholly cynical in their faith.

“What are you thinking about?”

IM THINKING ABOUT HOW ALL THE PROTAGONISTS IN A DAY OF FALLEN NIGHT GOT TO MEET EXCEPT FOR GLORIAN, SHOWING HOW SHES NOT TRULY FREE AND THEN HOW IN THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE SABRAN MEETS ALL THE PROTAGONISTS BECAUSE SHE IS FREE AND BROKE THE CHAIN THAT BINDS ALL THE BERETHNET QUEENS. THAT IS WHAT IM THINKING ABOUT.

saw this post and—

PUT YOUR TINFOIL HATS ON NOW, PLEASE

okay so acotar 6 is compared to queen of shadows here… 🤔

this is the blurb on the back of QoS… this book was published 10yrs ago and yet it was the one chosen to compare acotar 6 to. it’s in this book where celaena fully steps up as aelin, has control of her powers, and basically reestablishes herself.

Everything she holds dear is in danger. But she has the heart of a queen— and that heart beats for vengeance.

No one will escape the queen’s wrath.

DID YOU GET CHILLS TOO?!

look, I know they are different books and different plots (obv) but QoS is basically the book where aelin stepped out of her own shadow. where she shed the persona she had built around herself for protection. where she unleashed herself

elain is in a very similar position in many ways, don’t you think?

“When flowers spring from fields of blood.”

A redraw of a piece I originally drew in 2024 for Manon at the end of Kingdom of Ash, thirteen flowers to represent the Thirteen 🥺 Lots of painting and learning since then.

I'm so sorry this is all I can think about now

A micro-trope I never realised I loved until I saw it:

A character getting themselves into a genuinely life threatening situation, for the dumbest possible reason.

As an ADHDer I deeply relate. I don't think it's a big coincidence that it's in Emily Wilde and the Raven Scholar - two books with a lot of neurodivergent energy.

Emily Wilde and (mild) Raven Scholar spoilers below...

It's Cain sneaking past the guards to eat the poison soup, and Emily breaking the Fae Kings curse, and then freeing him anyway because she wanted to see what happens.

ghosts is such a tv show cuz one minute you’re like,

“oh haha funny ghosts! Haunted house shenanigans! Awww found family!”

Until you think about it more and now you’re like,

“Oh my god these were all people who died and inherently affected the lives around them and it forces you to think about the impact of their death-“
