Keep It To Your Shelf

I’m gonna say the quiet part out loud today and confirm that no, we do not need a special announcement about your 47th resist durge Tav who will be romancing Astarion yet again. Nor do I need 15 separate screenshots of them kissing.

Nobody cares. Really. Nobody.

Priest by Sierra Simone

There are many rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flo...

This is so try hard hard and unsexy I can barely stand it. Overrated is an understatement, and the altar scene was so cringe. It’s really proof positive that sex ≠ sexy.

And I’m so far from religious that I’ve come back around the other side and am being ordained next week.

Aka I am a horrible Catholic and am in no sense of the phrase a pearly clutcher, so don’t even try it.

Not me running home to get the mail before my husband so I don’t have to explain my slutty bookmarks.

Bald or with hair, I love him and don’t even want to fix him. I’ll take him broken.

Because I’m in my safe space, I can say that this does all sorts of things for me. This scene always did all sorts of things for me, even when stans use it as irrefutable canon proof of how little Tam respected Feyre.

Because forced roofie nudie lap dances scream respect.

And who’re we kidding I’d say this gives me pants feelings in any space. If Rhys doesn’t respect safe spaces I think I should get a free pass too.

Rhysand is what happens when you use a very special episode of Saved the Bell as the basis for the personality matrix in a Drakkar Noir-scented sex robot.

Young Tamlin, quietly wiping tears off his cheeks and picking up a broken fiddle after his brothers found him practicing, determined to learn his mother's favorite song as he promised for her birthday...

...Adult Tamlin years later in the same spot, the day of his mother's death, reaching for the fiddle and messily playing the same tune with bloody hands, in an attempt to feel her comforting embrace one last time.

It’s kind of fucked up that’s it’s up to fans to give SJMs characters even a modicum of depth or nuance.

I don’t care how entertaining her shit is. She is a one-trick pony. Or a pile of one-trick pony poop.

If I, having read SJM’s entire oeuvre, were invited to her place for dinner, I would refuse to eat from any flat surface in her home.

[achaotichuman]

Everytime I think about that one tiktok that said Tamlin would be super homophobic but Rhysand would be an ally, I lose a little my mind a little bit more, because tf you mean the guy who can shapeshift himself into any person or creature ever and hosts an all-inclusive orgy every single year is homophobic, but the guy who enforces segregation and whom his own flesh and blood cousin is afraid to come out to is an ally????

[keepittoyourshelf]

Literally the only canon that matters when a Rhys stan invokes the text as evidence that Rhys abusing Feyre to save her is totally more okay than Tamlin abusing Feyre to save her.

I wish the damage from the orb was more visible, to emphasize how much it is poisoning Gale from the inside.

[keepittoyourshelf]

This Gale is fantastic 💜💜💜

But imagine how tired we are. Imagine how tired we are of it.

Now, y'all get the pain we felt. Sucks, don't it?

We should get financial compensation.

Those new B&N “Night Court” editions of the ACOTAR books are totally wrong.

If you truly want covers representative of the Night Court and all it stands for they should be brown, maybe with little bits of corn stuck to them. Deluxe editions would have a scratch and sniff sticker that smells like my cat’s litter box after I share my ice cream with him.

They actually put tears in Lucanis' eyes

"I thought I'd never see you again"

[keepittoyourshelf]

Ugh I love him so much.

After almost kiss

Rook. If I could… I want… Forgive me. I'm not certain what I wish to say.

After "Inner Demons"

Rook. About what happened in the Fade, or my mind… If I trust my thoughts to anyone, it's you.

Romance lines

Ah. Here you are. What did I do to deserve you? Did you need me? I'm yours.

[keepittoyourshelf]

I know it’s slim pickings but I’m not sure how folks romancing him and presumably hearing these lines can think he doesn’t care about Rook.

Or maybe it’s just that I’m down so bad for him that he could tell me to drop dead and I’d thank him.

Picture added only because I love looking at him and his crooked nose so much.

Dragon Age Veilguard thoughts:

I’m loving it. I appear to be in the minority.

Romance is tame, sure, but I don’t really care. I’d have appreciated more opportunities to interact with your LI but I don’t necessarily need nudity.

The Antivan Crows are amazing and Treviso is gorgeous and I’m not sure I could ever pick another faction for that reason. Aesthetically the game is beautiful and I am truly confused by the alleged cartoonish-ness of it.

Combat is insanely fun. There’s a learning curve sure but once you get there it’s so dynamic and satisfying. I can’t wait to try a mage build when I’m done with my rogue duelist run.

Character creator is great, and I appreciate the ability to make a character that actually has a tummy, but I need bigger boobs.

Lucanis Dellamorte. I don’t care if the romance is the slowest of slow burns. Look at him.

LOOK. AT. HIM.

I love him. Love the game. Will replay many times and will always save Treviso because I don’t want my pookie to be sad or leave me.
