it caught me completely by surprise. i'd catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because i'd seen something that i wanted to tell you about or because i wanted to hear your voice. and then i'd realise you weren't there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me. i've risked my life for you. i've walked half the length of ravka for you, and i'd do it again and again and again just to be with you, just to starve with you and freeze with you and hear you complain about hard cheese every day. so don't tell me why we don't belong together.

why you should read queens of geek by jen wilde

happy happy release day to queens of geek by jen wilde!!! (today, march 14) here are some reasons you should read it:

3 main characters, 2 povs, all diverse

charlie is a bi, chinese protagonist who is a famous vlogger and also a rising actress after her role in this indie zombie flick

taylor is an autistic, fat protagonist who has severe anxiety and secretly has a crush on the third person in their trio, jamie (who is latinx)

they’re tagging along with charlie to supacon, which is basically comic con

taylor wants to meet the author of her favorite series, but the author leaves before she can

so she enters a contest to meet her, but her anxiety holds her back at times

she’s also dealing with her crush on jamie bc she’s really self-conscious of her appearance

charlie is dealing with her ex-boyfriend co-star who cheated on her

she has to do interviews and the like with him while also fending off rumors that they’re getting back together

charlie meets her crush, another famous (female!!) vlogger

and they’re really cute okay read it for the wlw

biphobia is addressed in this book btw!!

here are some quotes:

"What do you mean you don't believe in bisexuals? They're not mythical creatures," I [Taylor] said. "They're real people, just like you." He squirmed uncomfortably, and Charlie sighed. "Reese, I'm bisexual. Do you believe in me?" He sat up and stared at her like he was suddenly seeing a whole different person. "You? But you're with me." "So? I'm still bi."

When Reese finally said something, I wished he hadn't. "But how could you possibly know you're bi? Have you ever been with a girl?" I remember seeing frustration written all over Charlie's face, and I spoke up. "How did you know you were straight before you were with a girl, Reese?"

“my anxiety is invisible to others, but often it’s the focal point of my mind.”

“you can’t pick and choose whose equality you support. that’s not equality.”

“it’s not my job to convince others of who I am. my only job is to be who I am. all i can do is find what makes me happy, and live it.”

anyways,, read this book!! there’s a chinese wlw protagonist who has dated both a guy and a girl (and doesn’t “pick a side”)!! there’s a plus-sized, autistic main character who has severe anxiety but doesn’t let it overcome her!! several fandom references!! savage comebacks!! go read queens of geek!!

YA LIT MEME REDUX [2/3] endings

peter did not come that night, or the next day, and she stayed awake. she did not believe he could really have gone, because for her, to leave the person you loved was impossible

for three days, she kept on studying the horizon, even speaking to it, as if a ship that had already disappeared could hear her.

in the hopes that this will actually help promote the thing, here's a corny title + banner.

basically, i'm trying to get together a list of triggers in various (mostly popular) books, here, because i know that this kind of thing hardly ever is discussed and 99 times out of 100 i go into a book not knowing what sorts of things to expect. so this is an attempt to help out with that.

i need help, though, so hmu with any books + their triggers, any time, and i will add them to the page.

and if you could also spread the word, that'd be aces.

if i want more, i need to go and get it, demand it, take hold of it with all my might, and do the best i can with it.
