i was asked, i hope you're happy

Neil Josten is the most relatable narrator, which is, not necessarily reliable

He sees Kevin for the first time in years, and his only thought is "huh, he got taller" and then he doesn't have a single other thought about Kevin's appearance because he just couldn't be bothered

But Andrew, well, everyone is talking shit about him and calling him crazy and *no one* is mentioning how pretty he is, he looks like an angel with the sun shines on him just right, and he's so strong and funny and cool, if Neil is the only one noticing and talking about it, then so be it, that's just his burden to carry in life

I am finalizing Matsdotter and Adrastus this week! Which means I'll be pretty quiet, so to make up for it I present: 60 books which are organized by ✨vibes.✨

You've got tragic and messed up gays. (Red Rising isn't gay, but you can only hate him so much before it gets a little gay)

You've got the paranormal and/or mystery gay disasters.

You've got the I'm figuring things out queers.

You've got the what the f*ck did I just read horror babes. (Who are, you guessed it, queer)

You've got kids versus gender and/or neurodivergencies.

You've got queer witches finding themselves, and love.

You've got gorgeous worlds cheering on even more beautiful romances.

You've got people who will do anything for those they love, no matter the distance.

You've got epic stories with stabby characters, and a lot of sailing.

You've got the mutants, the weirdos who know they have to break things to truly fix them.

Demisexual representation

“So if a big-name director came to you and said you can have this role that will most likely open big doors for you, but you have to fuck these three studio execs, what do you say?” “Um. No?” She snorted. “Really.” “Well, I mean, I don’t—I wouldn’t enjoy it. I’m not—I’m demisexual.” She stared at him. “It means that I don’t experience sexual attraction until I—” “I know what that means. I have a Tumblr account. And it was a trick question. If a big-name director came to you and said you can have this role but you need to screw studio execs, you tell him to fuck off because the patriarchy is bullshit and you don’t have time for that crap. Take it from me. Men can be disgusting, but men in power? Ain’t nobody got time for that.”

She probably doesn't even realize she isn't heteronormative. Life's been so full of raising her brother and shitty experiences that she just assumed she didn't want sex because she was too stressed.

Hopeless romantic. She's always believed in Love and the power of it, Destiny, and fate.

However, she's afraid of it. She's watched her father excuse her mother's actions for love, watched him give her mother chance after chance and only get hurt in return.

Touch-starved, affection-starved. Besides Zack she's never really been much of a cuddler-not that she doesn't want to, but her parents weren't very cuddly. Grew up too fast and would love to slow down and rest in someone's arms, feeling safe.

Tiny touches and kind words make her fluster, but dirty jokes and subtle flirting fly right over her head. She's naive to sexual body language because she's never felt those urges herself.

Interested in the prospect of sex, of the intimacy of having it with someone she has a strong connection to. Nervous to disappoint, in most aspects of life, and so here as well.

Above all else, just wants somebody to love and to love her, unconditionally, that is good to her and makes her laugh. "Everything else is just a bonus", as she says.
