• Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov (Prompt: At least 2x my age. Also fits: Challanged or Banned, Literary Fiction.)
Everything there is to say about Lolita has already been said, probably. But I haven't heard most of them, so here are the things that left the biggest impression on me:
I didn't know just how funny the book would be, or how, despite the notoriously unreliable narration, honest it would get to be in its portrayal of Lolita (or, you know, Dolores), if only through glimpses at a time. I didn't expect how much personality we'd see of her, as a rebellious, sarcastic, a little tomboy-ish "bad" child of a mother who hated her to death. I didn't know how cowardly and pathetic Humbert Humbert would be, at first, and then how unambiguosly calculated in his abuse. Describing sexual acts as Lolitas' "duties", withholding money and every little freedom in exchange for it, to see her friends or participate in the school play.
Haunting, heartbreaking and every of these other words that certainly appeared on the book's blurbs over the years. Stellar read.
• Half His Age by Jenette McCurdy (Prompt: Pink cover. Also fits: Literary fiction.)
A lot of people dislike this book for stupid reasons. I had high hope for this book, very much thought of myself as the target audience, and dislike this book for other, better reasons.
Imagine this. A book that's written entirely in tiny sentences. Eight or so words. Sometimes less. Sometimes a comma to separate adjectives. Reduntant, uninteresting, bland adjectives. Chapters that are 5 pages or less. Distracting writing quirks attempt-een to give the narration more personality while it obnoxiously over-explains the book's message to the reader with zero subtlety. I expected better.
In the very least, reading a book you dislike teaches you about what you like. I prefer it when character-driven books allow themselves time to breathe and sit with the characters rather than rush through chapters. I think literary books specially need some flowery writing to really immerse me. I think it is possible to be objectively bad at naming characters.
• Spoiled Milk by Avery Curran (Prompt: 2026 debut author)
Exactly what I needed after Half His Age, my god. Finally, full lenght sentences.
I adored this book. It was so engaging right from the start and creative in its horror, it build up tension really well and the characters were all distinct and well defined. I'd have liked for the ending to go on for a little longer and for some things to be explored further but, overall, a great read and I highly reccomend it.

• A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin (Prompt: None💝)
This is my de facto bookish wrap-up so I'm mentioning this even if it doesn't fit any prompt.
I'm having fun and being tortured by proxy. Theon if you even look at Bran and Rickon I'll stomp you to death with my hooves. Cersei they could never make me hate you. Catelyn they could never make me hate you. Tyrion can you get a grip. Whatever weird weird shit was going on in Dragonstone truly is even gayer than whatever Renly had. BUT NOT GAYER THAN CATELYN AND BRIENNE HAVE. YURI WIN. Daenerys' storyline is sightly less racist than the last book but it'll never cross over into not racist, I know. Overall still an incredible series.
Currently reading:
• Descolonizando afetos: Experimentações sobre outras formas de amar by Geni Núñez (TR: Decolonizing affections: Experiments on other ways of loving) (Prompt: Read It + Do It. Also fits: Not originally published in english.)
This is thee brazilian polyamory book. Like mandatory reading to a memefiable degree. And I think it's such a funny prompt fill. My doing it is practicing non-monogamy yay.
• The Girl Who Bit Me by Valerie Hunter (Prompt: Romance)
• History of Sexuality by Michael Foucault.
• It's Not About the Burqa edited by Mariam Khan
• Gideon the Ninth (re-read with a buddy!)
I've already started so many books that I have none of my immediate TBR that aren't on my 'currently reading'. I'm also about to be way more busy and am scared. Wish me luck!
It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.
video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover
It's Pride Month, so if you'll forgive me I'm taking a two minute break from the One Piece, League of Legends, Marvel Rivals, Final Fantasy and Pokémon shorts to tell you… Sylveon is trans, Taliyah is trans, everyone on the Straw Hats is queer, there are no words to describe how queer superheroes are as a concept let alone how queer they all are individually, and here's a fun fact for you: Cloud Strife's story gets ten times better when you understand it as an allegory for a trans coming out experience.
As for me, well, I'm not trans, but I do occupy my own little space in the rainbow flags which looks like this. I am aromantic.
We are generally not as visible as many of our queer siblings, probably at least partly because it's kind of a difficult identity to even discover in yourself, you basically have to prove a negative.
But what is this thing, "aromantic"? Well… okay, let's say you're a straight guy, right. You know the way you feel romantically about other men? I feel exactly the same way, and then I also feel that way about women, and then also the same way about all of the other genders.
Now, aromantic often goes along with asexual, there's a lot of co-occurrence of the two, but not always, and that is my situation. Yes to sex, no to romance, which being a man, yes, I know, that just makes me the same as 90% of the men you match on Hinge. "Ha ha ha didn't realize "fuccboi" was an orientation now," I know. I get it. I understand. I have had all the same thoughts myself, especially when I was questioning.
Which is the difficulty with being aromantic, because in order to figure out that that's what you are, you have to prove a negative. I have never been in love, and I have no reason to think I ever will be… but what if someday I meet The One??? What if there's a special divinely designated perfect soulmate out there, just waiting for me, and one day our eyes will meet across the room and it will be love at first sight forever?
And like. I can't prove that won't happen, anymore than I can prove that there isn't a flowery pink teapot currently hiding somewhere in the orbit of Saturn. And frankly, if it did happen, I wouldn't be mad. Why would I be? I would have a soulmate! That's a pretty big W, I think.
But… I've had over thirty years to encounter someone—anyone—who can spark my romantic interest, and thus far, every challenger of every gender has failed. So either I am aromantic, or else you people have a skill issue.
Anyway, like anything to do with queerness, aromantic is a sprawling and diverse spectrum. You got your aroaces, aroallos, aroflux, arospikes, demiromantics, frayromantics, grayromantics, cupioromantics, there's a whole world of different experiences present under this umbrella. For me, though, just "aromantic" is fine. That's the broad label, that's the one I fall under, that's the identity I take pride in. Happy June!

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?
Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month
