why is sansa stark hating so common. like she's a little girl. she's terrified, she's trapped, she's being handed from one pedophile to the next, she saw her dad's head get cut off, she's alone, all her siblings are dead, her mom is dead, she's 11 years old, she's supposed to be making rubber band loom bracelets and listening to one direction, she's just a kid. all the most evil characters in the book hate her for no reason other than she's ned's kid. she's also a very smart, polite, and kind girl. she's preppy in the first book, but her greatest sin is what? being a girl? being a little girl? being a bit snooty (which she quickly gets beaten out of her anyway)? yall are horrible

I love Gordon Ramsay so much.

He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.

He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.

When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire - the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.

He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.

He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.

He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)

His kids are a treasure.

He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.

When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight: 

I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person. 

Oh and then there’s this:

this entire episode 

[someclevermoniker]

never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person

There are so many different reasons why someone might like The Raven Cycle so I divided it up into place, prose, plot and people. Do look up the warnings on any books you are interested in.

Now I hope someone adds on because I need more to read!!

Place - TRC has such a strong sense of place

Bone Gap - the closest small city vibe and dreamy prose to TRC so it gets to be in both categories

The City We Became

Left Hand of Darkness

Prose

Scorpio Races

Call Down the Hawk

Piranesi

Spear that Cuts Through Water

Plot

Need more plot

Sword of Kaigen

She Who Became the Sun

A Memory Called Empire

Light plot just vibes

The Colour of Magic

Bunny

Another Mystery Thanks

Mexican Gothic

Thousand Doors of January

Who Murdered Roger Ackroyd

I'm okay with with the plot being incomprehensible

Gideon the Ninth

This is How You Lose the Time War

People

Found Family

Thick As Thieves - These people are all really good friends and may also be outlaws

Six of Crows

Clockwork Boys

Nona the Ninth

Rise of Kyoshi

Messed Up - These are friends but in a fucked up place

If We Were Villains

The Secret History

The Foxhole Court

Just for the Trope - I don't think the found family was strong but the plots or writing was fun

Gilded Wolves

Foundryside

Cinder

Queer Romance Fantasy - Typically only recommended for their resemblance to Pynch.

The Hollow and the Haunted

Summer Sons - Academic + Car Guy written by TRC fan

Don't Let the Forest In - Closest in flowery prose

Sorcery and Small Magics

Reminds me of people from Gangsey

Bluesey - Pride and Prejudice

Adam - Black Sun and Ninth House

Ronan - Bone Shard Daughter and Not Even Bones

Blue - Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Diviners (Libra Bray)

Gansey - His Majesty's Dragon and Babel

Hey just a quick check in- now that musk is like severely imploding on trump and their severed ties

Yall won't forget this part right?

Yall won't forget he's still a massive scumbag right? That he's still a nazi right? That won't get lost in translation right???

(I don't THINK it'll get forgotten but I really want to remind people that just because Musk is now bashing trump for all the shit we've known about him for awhile that we don't forget he was complicit. If anything his bashing and airing out trumps laundry makes it worse, because he KNEW all that and still worked with him.)

No children are allowed in the Library of Congress.

It's not that kind of library.

In other words...

You are being lied to

again

[madenthusiasms]

Everything published in the US is copied to the Library of Congress; appropriateness for children is not a criteria. Published under copyright is.

In order to read something in the Library of Congress, you must, in order:

1) Be 16+ years old and in possession of ID such as a driver’s license or passport to obtain a LoC card

2) Make an appointment to go to a reading room

3) Know what it is you want to read and which library building it is in so you can fill out a request form when you arrive.

So the chances of a “child” just stumbling over something “inappropriate” that was “put” there by the choice of the head librarian is 100% impossible.

Leavitt seems to believe that if she wears a big enough cross, God can’t hear her breaking the commandment against false witness.

oh my god also. the take that Orpheus was always going to look back not because he can’t let Eurydice go but because he HAS to. Because it’s not fair to make her continue living for him. He looks back the first time because of his grief but he looks back the second because of his love. I’m obsessed with this THEY GET IT

[stressedoatmeal]

I’m just gonna say it.

I don’t really care how stupid this is but one of my biggest motivations for leaving my abusive ex was Adam Parrish. After 7 years of violence, I had the thought that Adam would be so disappointed in the excuses and justifications I made for ex‘s actions. I regularly read trc for comfort and during my reread just a few months ago I realized If Adam Parrish was alive he would absolutely not be friends with me for this. when I told my bsf and she started regularly telling me to make Adam proud, that he would be disappointed in my justifying x action, ect. Adam is one of the reasons I started combating the guilt I felt for getting an order of protection. Adam showed me I can 100% press charges. If I can support his character pressing charges and escaping, why can’t I support myself doing the same thing.

Tl:dr I left my abuser bc I couldn’t handle the thought that Adam Parrish wouldn’t like me. Thanks Maggie.

[ahorsesea]

Hey, I left my abusive parents because I discovered what the word Autonomy meant after seeing how much emphasis Adam put into the word.

I had no clue what "Autonomy" meant, and genuinely to my knowledge, hadn't even heard of the word until I read the book at 19. When I looked up the definition for the first time, I laughed, utterly at a loss for what it meant. I didn't understand what it meant even though I was literally reading the definition.

Eventually I started paying attention, realizing I lacked any and all autonomy in the house I grew up in. That I always had.

I knew something was wrong because the more comfortable I grew with realizing I didn't have autonomy, the more I began fighting with my father. A man, who despite living with my entire life I hardly ever dared to get into fights with. I wouldn't dare. The sheer thought of defying him wasn't even something to entertain. But as the fights grew more frequent, longer, more intense i finally snapped "What about me? My autonomy?" and he said "As long as you live in this house you do not get to have autonomy!"

Adam Parrish helped me realize how abusive and suffocating my parents were.

I do not doubt for a single second, the weight and sincerity with which your statement holds. Because yeah. You're right. You absolutely are allowed to press charges. Shout out to Adam for getting at least two people to take control of their lives and get out of an abusive relationship.

I'm so proud of you OP.

[stressedoatmeal]

Literally me n u rn @horsay

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.

the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.

sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.

it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.

[sailor-kaiju]

This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than just enjoying using and being in your body.

Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.

Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.
