noah: š§āāļø
itās a slowburn pt. 2
itās a slowburn
āi donāt have a brother, maāamā PLS!!
imagine going to 300 fox way and not immediately falling in love with these women
yāall the raven cycle graphic novel was so BEAUTIFUL i need all the rest to come out today
bLUE. gansey. ronan. adam. noah <3. the women of 300 fox way are all so incredibly hot. barrington is sufficiently creepy looking. all of their outfits are glorious. dream thieves when!!
queer books that didnāt disappoint me the way everything else has. please enjoy.
OKAY DEMIGODS, WAKE UP!! ITāS HERE!! ITāS FREAKIN HAPPENINGGG šš
the dream thieves / the raven king
- -
do you ever just cry about these two scenes and how the meaning of that final sentence changes so wholly and completely from shame and embarrassment to complete happiness and peace because originally ronan wants to avoid his feelings and now he just wants to stay in this moment because itās better than anything he could ever dream?? me too
agatha and simon talking about their confusion over their sexualities was such a mood
every character in wayward son go to therapy challenge
sO
a lot of people are upset with someā choices ā made in wayward son. and let me tell youā same. buT there were also several times i found myself laughing out loud and truly enjoying it. i just finished it and iām still feeling ~pains~ in my chest but i wanted to make a list of the things i did like (there are heavy spoilers!!):
shepard. enough said honestly
baz lookin like a granny with the scarf on his head but simon describing him as a āboy marilyn monroeā
the whole faire scene. i loved every bit of it. baz being mistaken for being in a costume bc heās too posh. simonās wings just flying out and people applauding. the foam sword fight and baz reciting shakespeare. the fight and penny literally decaptitating a vampire in front of a crowd of people. āweāll be back at 6 and 9 for more shows.ā
baz teaching simon how to drive stick and simon being a natural
baz and penny singing amazing grace to get their stuff and bazās belongings randomly flying up to him throughout the novel
baz thinking his magic doesnāt work in america but heās really just too british
agatha being unable to let go of pennyās hand after the battle
agathaās banter! i feel like we got a lot more of who she is in this book
any scene with baz and penny. they were my favorite relationship in this book tbh (penny crying on his shoulder in the cheesecake factory!! baz kissing her cheek and basically calling her family!!)
showing that nobodyās okay after years of trauma
agatha being heroic and knowing how to do something penny doesnāt! basically agatha being a badass
simon flying!!! simon laying in the truck bed and just enjoying life and nature!! simon still being a badass with weapons!! simon flYING!!!
all the new spells! especially the one penny used to make simonās wings go away
the in-depth descriptions of every expensive piece of clothing baz wore
so would i say iām satisfied? not at the moment. but there were also a lot of parts i enjoyed!!
Podcast Recs 2019
Hey there! Iāve updated my list of podcast recommendations for 2019. This includes anything from my top favorites to stuff I havenāt gotten around to listening to yet! For a more up to date version of this list, please go here.Ā
Ā * = Favorite! ! = Caught Up # = In progress + = Need to listen
Fiction: *! Wolf 359: Starts off as a goofy space station slice-of-life comedy and spirals into something way, way deeper. Great characters, fantastic plot, and a really great concept overall. *# The Penumbra Podcast: A couple different plots, but primarily a futuristic space noir story. Really cheesy but in the best way, also super LGBT and fantastic and it just makes me so happy. # Beef and Dairy Network Podcast: Just a completely normal podcast about the inner workings of the beef and dairy industry. Nothing weird here, not at all. # Hello From The Magic Tavern: A podcast transmitted from the magical land of Foon! Really chill and funny improvised stuff # King Falls AM: A fun paranormal radio show sort of deal. Iām not far in enough to describe it better. # EOS 10: Doctors in space! Itās gay and funny and suspenseful, I adore the hell out of the writing.Ā # The Bright Sessions: Superhero therapy! Incredible character building, really cool show. # Within the Wires: Iām only an ep in and uh. I have no fucking clue whatās happening but itās cool as shit so far.Ā # Everything Is Alive: A podcast where a guy interviews inanimate objects! Itās interesting and fun. *# Welcome to Nightvale: A classic! A radio show in a desert town thatās much odder than it seems.Ā # Done Disappeared: A parody of true-crime investigation podcasts. Dumb and funny.
+ Jim Robbie and the Wanderers + Dopple Avenue Hurt + The Thrilling Adventure Hour + Wooden Overcoats + Ars Paradoxica + The Far Meridian + The Strange Case of Starship Iris + Girl In Space + Inkwyrm + Immunities + Mission to Zixx +Kaleidotrope +Midnight Radio
Horror: *# The Magnus Archives: Jonathan Sims, head archivist of a paranormal research institute in London, reads the statements of people who have experienced horrifying things. Things go south very quickly for him and his assistants. HEAVY trigger warning, since it includes lots of the typical horror things such as gore, bugs, cannibalism, etc, but if you can handle it, I highly recommend this show. The writing and characters are so good. *! SCP Archives: Performed readings of different SCP stories. If you like SCP, this show is really good! # Alice Isnāt Dead: A fantastic spooky adventure with a gal trucking across the U.S. to find her missing wife! Made by the Nightvale folks, and itās really intriguing and well produced. # The NoSleep Podcast: Different horror stories from r/nosleep, acted and read aloud. Varies in quality, but is generally pretty good! Gets better in the later seasons. # Limetown: A well-known faux-journalism horror story. The first season is very good, I havenāt listened to the second yet. # Mabel: Itās been a while since I listened to this one, so I donāt remember much other than it being very, very spooky. # The Black Tapes: The ending isnāt good, but the rest was great. Theyāre apparently continuing, so hopefully the ending will be fixed.
+ The Blood Crow Stories + The Alexandria Archive + TANIS + Rabbits D&D/Actual Play: *! The Adventure Zone: Look. You know this one. An actual-play podcast that starts off slow and picks up really quickly. 80% comedy, 20% plot, and 100% amazing. Balance is the first campaign and is D&D and a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. *# Critical Role: Iāve been riding with this show for years now, but I havenāt actually listened to the podcast format of it! The show itself is fantastic though, so Iām still recommending it. Follow the in-progress D&D adventure of a bunch of great voice actors. Sorta the flip of TAZ, in that itās like 80% plot and 20% comedy. Also 100% crying. Their first campaign is complete, and theyāre currently partially through their second. # Godsfall: A pretty rules-heavy DND podcast. Really really well produced. # Friends At The Table: Not really far in enough to make much judgement! + Heroes and Halfwits + Tabletop Champions + Join the Party + Dames & Dragons + Bombarded + The Mortal Path + Dnduet + The Venture Maidens + The Broad Swords + Six Feats Under
Nonfiction: # Wonderful!: Happy and pure, Griffin and Rachel Mcelroy talk about things that make them happy. I enjoy listening to random episodes when I need a pick-me-up. # Oh No, Ross and Carrie!: Ross and Carrie go around and investigate different fringe science, paranormal, and spiritual things. Theyāre super fun to listen to! + The Worst Bestsellers + Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men + Mysterious Universe + Bunker Buddies + Imaginary Worlds + Conversations With People Who Hate Me + Dead Pilots Society + Harry Potter and the Sacred Text + Storybreak + Shmanners + Positiviteeny! + Still Buffering + The Supermega Podcast Comedy: *# My Brother, My Brother, and Me: Really good goofs and advice from the Mcelroy brothers. Itās so good. # Sawbones: Medical history with Sydnee and Justin Mcelroy! Sydnee is an actual doctor, so itās a wonderful combo of dumb humor and really good information. # My Dad Wrote A Porno: Title kind of says it all. Very, very funny. + What Should We Draw? + Revisionist History + Hardcore History + More Perfect + Making a Podcast with Myself True Crime/Supernatural: *# My Favorite Murder: True crime and murder stories, as told by some very cool and funny ladies. Theyāre like my goth comedian moms. # Heavenās Gate: A podcast about the cult Heavenās Gate. Only 10 episodes, really interesting and well produced. # Lore: I listened to this forever ago and loved it! Really good paranormal and spooky stories. # And Thatās Why We Drink: Em and Christine talk about the paranormal and true crime while getting drunk and chatting about their lives! They have a great dynamic and itās just a fun comfy show to listen to. + Judge John Hodgman +Spirits + Blurry Photos + Expanded Perspectives + Wine and Crime + Cabinet of Curiosities Journalism:
*# 99% Invisible: Beautifully written and edited journalism about design and life. I love the hell out of this podcast. *# Reply All: Journalism and weird stories about technology and the different ways it affects us. I highly recommend listening to episode #102 and #103, Long Distance, if you want an incredibly interesting story about spam callers and trying to hunt them down. # Ear Hustle: Stories about the life of prisoners, made by a prisoner! Really interesting journalism. # Setting the Record Queer: A queer interview show. Pretty new but really fun! # Twenty Thousand Hertz: A podcast about sound design and things relating to it. Very well produced and interesting. + Family Ghosts + Ologies
bi books for twenty-biteen!
so in honor of pride month in our blessed year of twenty-biteen, i wanted to recommend some books that feature prominent bisexual characters! most of these are already very well-known books and series, but i thought itād be fun to honor my fellow bisexuals out there with a list! also, there is a shocking lack of bi females included on this list, and i am currently on the hunt for more if anyone wants to rec me some!
with that aside, lets get into the list!
iām gonna start with series:
1. the six of crows duology by leigh bardugo: this action-packed duology contains two bi main characters, one of which is female and one who is male. they both own my heart, as well as the rest of the characters in this series. highly recommend!
2. the raven cycle by maggie stiefvater: this series revolves around a tight-knit group of friends (that youāll wish you were a part of) searching for a dead welsh king. one of the main characters is bi, but what i like about this series is that its not a big deal. as important as stories of self-discovery are, itās refreshing to see a character who is just bi, and no one cares at all.
3. shades of magic trilogy by v.e. schwab: this trilogy contains two bisexual guys, as well as some awesome world-building and a super cool take on magic! this is the most recently read series on my list, and i really enjoyed it!
4. openly straight and honestly ben by bill konigsberg: these books def have their flaws, but iām putting them on this list because they were really important to me when i was figuring out my sexuality. the way the bi character in this series talks about his sexuality really spoke to me at a very important time in my life. warning for slight biphobia that i donāt think was handled amazingly, but still fun books! (NOTE: someone has added to this post that ben does not identify as bi. itās been several years since i read the books, and i forgot that this is the case. i will leave this here, but just be aware that while he is in relationships with girls and a boy, he does not identify as bi and chooses not to use labels!!!)
5. i also want to mention the trials of apollo by rick riordan! it is far from my favorite series by rick, but the main character makes several references to his past relationships with both men and women, which i feel is super important to see in a middle grade series! (if you want a laugh, look at the one-star reviews on amazon. 99% are mad homophobic/biphobic parents)
and now onto stand-alones:
1. the gentlemanās guide to vice and virtue by mackenzi lee: the physical embodiment of disaster bi. the protagonist is a mess and i love him for it. this is also historical fiction with some magic! honestly what more could you ask for? (thereās also a sequel that i am planning to read as soon as i get my hands on it that centers around his ace younger sister!)
2. grasshopper jungle by andrew smith: next on the list is another disaster bi! let me tell you, this book is a TRIP. i couldnāt stop thinking about it for weeks after i read it. the main character is bi and also in love with both his girlfriend and best friend (see what i mean by disaster?). is he an asshole? absolutely. but an undeniably entertaining one.
3. little and lion by brandy colbert: this book is so underrated, i swear. the main character is a black jewish bisexual girl and i related to her on SO many levels. this book focuses on her coming to terms with her sexuality, but also on the importance of family and itās so good please pick it up!
4. autoboyography by christina lauren: this book centers around a bi teenage boy living in a very conservative mormon community. iām not gonna lie, itās definitely got its flaws, but iām a sucker for romance what can i say? itās no doubt a fun summer read.
5. running with lions by julian winters: like autoboyography, there were some things that irked me with the plot (one of these being the treatment of the only prominent female character). that being said, the book centers around a super accepting soccer team with kids of all sorts of sexualities, including our bisexual protagonist! thereās a refreshing lack of toxic masculinity that i am so here for. itās a cute read!
6. leah on the offbeat by becky albertalli: the sequel to simon vs. the homo sapiens agenda, this book centers on the relationship between simonās two bi female friends. although leah is not the most likable protagonist in my opinion, there were definitely moments i found myself relating to her. becky really said bi rights with this book.
7. carry on by rainbow rowell: this follows the story of the āchosen oneā who has no idea wtf heās doing. itās got enemies to friends to lovers and magic, which are two of my favorite things. although he never states that he is bi in the book, i included carry on here because he has a relationship with both a girl and a boy and he appears to be attracted to both of them. (p.s. this wonāt be a stand-alone for long as a sequel will be released later this year!)
8. radio silence by alice oseman: this novel features a bisexual, half-ethiopian female protagonist and focuses on the pressure of school and the importance of friendship. also, thereās a podcast. the friendship between the two main characters was the sweetest thing and i loved this novel. (also want to give a shout-out to alice osemanās webcomic heartstopper, which focuses on the relationship between nick and charlie, who are bi and gay respectively. these characters can also be found in her novel solitaire.)
9. ramona blue by julie murphy: this book centers around a girl who is convinced she only likes girls until she starts to fall for a boy. it is a sort of self-discovery that is not often found in literature, but i know several of my friends that went through a very similar path and this book means a lot to them. i loved seeing ramonaās journey, and enjoyed this book a lot!
10. red, white, and royal blue by casey mcquiston: this is the newest book on this list, and let me just tell you, the rep in this book is phenomenal. the main character is the bisexual, half-mexican first son of the first female president of the united states, and it tells this story of his relationship with the prince of england. honestly need i say more? cause i will. his best friend is also bi and iām in love with her. this book has literally so many of my favorite things: royalty, enemies to friends to lovers, fake relationship (kind of), strong female characters, and so much more. definitely a quick, fun summer read to get in the spirit of pride month!
please add to this list with more books with bisexual rep that i missed! i would love to get more book recs :)
happy pride everyone!
