If any of you are looking for a good fall vibes book may I PLEASE convince you to read Thistlefoot by GeenaRose Nethercott!! It’s based on the folktale of Baba Yaga but she’s reimagined as a Jewish mother living in early 1900s Russia, two modern day (queer!) siblings who go on a road trip across America together in a weird house they inherit with chicken feet, and it’s got some of the most beautiful prose I’ve read in a while. Pleaseee read it it’s soo good and I need more people to talk about it with!!

#it reminded me a lot of #American Gods #(which is one of my fav books)#I love urban fantasy stories that are based on myths and folklore #also I love queer media #but it’s not like #central to the plot or anything #and the angst they face isn’t about the queerness (like homophobia or queer shame or bury your gays)#actually I love stories in general where romance isn’t the central plot but just gets to be something on the side #also #it focuses more on the sibling relationship!!#sibling relationship #love me a good story like that #intergenerational trauma #also I learned some new history stuff which is important #also like #the writing is SO GOOD #the prose #its BEAUTIFUL #the plot summary drew me in bc it was interesting enough as is #but the prose is what made me unable to put it down #like seriously #I DEVOURED this book #thistlefoot #geenarose nethercott #bellatine yaga #Isaac yaga #baba yaga #literature #books

The more dudes who get mad about Supergirl and insist on jerking themselves off via snarky articles of little substance that they call Film Criticism™, the more I love the movie and this DCU. I love that it’s for us. It’s not for them, and it’s so obvious—therefore it’s pissing. them. off. 🤣

#literally go watch the snyderverse it’s still there for you #like i was furious when i found out they cast a IOF loser as wonder woman #& yknow what i did? just didn’t see it didn’t watch it didn’t give them my time or money #which is a great option for the whiners in addition to choosing to stfu #i have my complaints but ultimately it’s introducing a whole new DCU so i didn’t expect it to stay too true to Woman of Tomorrow #best comics I’ve ever read btw #hands down #the art #the prose #it’s gorgeous #so i knew the movie wouldn’t compare #but the movie is fking FUN & i’m seeing it again tonight #about me #supergirl dcu #supergirl 2026

“Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstituted. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story.”

I aspire to have the writing style of Madeline Miller

#it's so so so good #the prose #the flow #the gut wrenching one liners #literally name a thing and it's lovely #honestly no thoughts just. yeah

just finished the prologue to full metal daemon muramasa, which is already a strong contender for the coolest thing i've ever read

#the visuals #the soundtrack #the prose #everything is impeccable and makes full use of the medium in a way i've never seen before #a mature visual novel if ever i've seen one

it feels BAD dude i've been floaty all day and most sensory feelings are dead gone, but now i want to write and everything comes out shit. and i don't have a headache but like. weird feelings in the head.

#and also i can't persist too much and devote my every waking thought to it because uh. exam friday.#i have TWO fic ideas and for once the plot is loosely there but #the words #the prose #what's happening #everything is weirdly rigid and the vocabulary is straight up bizarre #broadcasting my misery
