Hi, if you’re seeing this you probably have an unhealthy obsession with fictional characters. Yeah, me too.
Currently reading: The Odyssey, Weyward, The Final Empire
Not to come on here and immediately start bitching about BookTok, but why do I keep seeing people say Aaric’s dragon will be Andarna’s mate? Seriously, I just do not understand this theory.
Andarna is 3 YEARS OLD. Rebecca Yarros repeatedly describes her as a TEENAGER. She is not going to mate with a fully grown dragon any time soon and it is kind of fucked up to suggest that.

that man went on live television and talked about how poc are eating the cats and dogs, aliens conducting trans operations. he is a convicted felon. of 34 cases. he is a rapist. he proposed project 2025 which strips away basic rights from everyone except cis-het white men and he still had 51% popularity votes. that should anger you. that should be focus of the collective rage and disgust, not your fellow queer and poc acquaintances. please.

I’m still not over the fact that Xaden abandoned all his intentions of just repressing the crap out of his feelings, flew to Montserrat, and immediately started flirting with Violet just because he didn’t see her for a couple of days and was worried she was getting close to another man, who she’d been nothing but distant towards for weeks.
He is SO dramatic I can’t even 😭
So I keep thinking about this, and today it suddenly dawned on me: of course he doesn’t know how to be chill about this. Violet is the first new person he’s loved since he met his closest friends in childhood. She’s the first person he’s started caring about since he lost every adult who mattered in his world as a teenager. She’s his first love, and how many of us are chill about our first loves *without* such a background of loss? Of course he’s not rational about losing her. He knows what loss is and he can’t bear going through it again.
…wait until he’s a new dad, he’s going to be fucking terrifying.

joe biden, you stupid fuck. listen to me. Crimes are legal for sitting presidents as long as they’re official actions. Listen: Joe. You have one chance
Even if he decides not to do, y'know, the obvious, there's gotta be some creative ways he can fuck shit up for Trump. Nothing he does in terms of actual policy will stick, but make Trump spend his first hundred days undoing Biden's last 75.
Especially make him undo stuff that will be incredibly popular. Executive order legalizing marijuana nationwide. Declare a free pizza party for the whole country, scheduled for the first week of February.
Declassify Trump's IRS records, his FBI file, and everything available about his personal habits during his previous stay in the White House. Did he ever order any pay-per-view porn? Clog a toilet? The American people deserve to know.
I'm just spit balling here; I'm sure there are even better ideas.
Humbly submitting that it would also be very funny if he resigned and then Kamala did all those things
Honestly resigning so that the country gets a black Asian woman President whether the assholes like it or not would be the funniest thing he could do all on its own.

God is dead, and we didn’t kill him. We beat down the doors of heaven and just found him like this. Not above taking credit for it and using it as the basis for a legitimizing mythology for our incipient space-faring empire though
god is dead and, well, you’ve always wondered what that would taste like
God is dead and honestly we should have noticed the smell earlier
His Dark Materials (2000)
The saddest thing that the new extract confirms is that the venin had absolutely no intention of killing Xaden and Violet.
But Xaden turned venin because he believed the general when he threatened to kill Violet.
It is heartbreakingly ironic that Xaden’s signet is (allegedly) reading intentions, and yet he couldn’t read the intentions of the general when it mattered the most. He turned venin because he believed Violet would die if he didn’t. He turned venin for a lie.
