I've been a huge fan of fablebands since I won a giveaway of theirs in 2020. I'm not quite sure just how many designs I have, but the collecting has slowed down a bit as I'm more selective on what I buy. That said, they recently released a Love, Theoretically inspired design called Physics & Chill. It matches the original cover perfectly and I adore all the nods to the story (the Go board, the diabetes ribbon, the CHEESE).

Love, Theoretically was my favorite of the three STEMinist books. The ace-spec rep was *chef's kiss* and not talked about nearly enough. I know these books aren't everyone's cup of tea, but definitely give Love, Theoretically a try. It felt different than the other two while still being the same, if that makes sense.

I’m reading Witch King by Martha Wells, and now that I have read more than one (1) series by this author, I have been suddenly brained with a two-by-four sharpied over with “realizing that I really enjoy novels by Martha Wells because they live in the specific niche created by the intersection of casually and thoroughly queer casts and non-romance storylines”

I am as ever a sucker for non-human main characters struggling with their very human feelings, which is why I jumped on Witch King the moment I saw “the author of Murderbot wrote another book with a main character that’s non-human,” but I live in this dichotomy where I can really enjoy reading queer romances but I don’t really identify with non-ace characters (which is not actually something I figured out how to differentiate until I was Last Week Years Old). so there are lots of books out there that I enjoy reading but it’s comparatively rare for me to read something that feels like it was written For Me and Martha Wells does that very well

anyway, give me more ace it-pronouns human-spliced robot main characters and people-eating demons who consider rank over gender when finding new bodies to inhabit

#text posts #martha wells #witch king #personal #her castes and universes are also very culturally and ethnically diverse but I've had ace-ness on the mind lately #so it was relevant to my ongoing thoughts #I never really read books that are advertised as specific types of diversity representation #especially with queer books what I like to read is books that are very queer but aren't ABOUT being queer #so I tend to steer clear when people are like read this the mc is a nonbinary lesbian witch without even really saying what the plot is #but martha wells writes books that are queer and brown and INFLUENCED by being queer and brown but #the characters still get to have their stories be ABOUT whatever fun sci fi fantasy shenanigans are ongoing #((inb4: this is my preference not an overal value judgment)) #((I just want to read the same books I read when I was a little kid and have them just ALSO be lovingly diverse)) #((and I only really read SFF)) #in other news I was trying to figure out how to name my flavor of ace #and then I looked up the difference between demi and gray #and I realized gray is what I am looking for #very very dark gray

so obsessed with this line in french phoenix wright

“this all doesn’t seem very catholic to me...”

#it's perfectly normal in french but as a native english speaker i always find this phrase inherently funny #they kept saying it in this one book series i've been reading and it's like #the vibe is 'that wasn't very cash money of you' or 'that wasn't very punk rock of you' #but the fact that the word they use is CATHOLIC #i love it #ace attorney #random stuff

Laurence calling Temeraire "my dear" so tenderly and the way they cuddle and read and -

#william laurence #temeraire #temeraire series #naomi novak #honestly laurence is an ace icon #he's essentially soul bonded to a dragon #he even put a ring on it #my heart #i am excessively fond of them #to be fair i've only read the first book

[altruistic-meme]

these are all books that i already own but i am also absolutely willing to look for new books as well <3

this is just a small selection of books i have but have never read. i am trying to actually read some now. this is my biggest goal for 2024!

#yes i intentionally left the pjo series off the list i plan to read it after the first season finishes airing #we've got a bit of a mix between queer books and classic books here #i've got more classics also that i didn't include here #but assume if i didn't put it here i will probably put it on a later poll #if i decide to do more #i just have.... so many books. so many. and i want to read them but i don't know where to start :')))) #so lets go #shh ac

[loath3d]

consider: i add aelin/celaena and use any.a taylor-joy as the fc? it's more likely than you think

#tog spoiler #throne of glass spoiler #idk if anyone is wanting to read it / hasn't yet?? #so tagging just in case! #but yeah i'm on empire of storms! #SO close to finishing!! #AND I'M DESPERATE FOR THE SMUT #it's been over a week since i've waited for this book #i may be ace #but my internal / mental parts are nastea #will i add other muses!!?!!? maybe rowan idk hehehee

What's the last book you read with found family?

I finally read Loveless this month, and dang, a lot of my experiences growing up asexual and not knowing it are reflected in this book. I always liked the idea of romance and loved watching romantic movies, but when I tried picturing myself in those situations, I couldn't. It was nice to see that reflected in Georgia.

Loveless is a story about being loyal to yourself and your feelings. It's also about being loyal to friends and found family. Though, I will warn you that the HP references were not taken out of this new edition and that's incredibly disappointing.

Sunil is an absolute ray of sunshine and probably my favorite character of the book! He helped Georgia so much with giving her the aro/ace language and helping her realize she that she has a place at university.

How is Merthur losing that ship poll fr

#Like I've shipped ineffable husbands from the time I read the book I GET It #but c'mon #also the takes in the tags are killing me #one person says ineffable husbands is 'more canon and ace leaning' which.... i think it's actually the same amount of canon and QPP leaning #as merthur but ok that is up for debate #BUT one person wrote in the tags 'fuck merlin + merthur hate each other' sdhkjHSfdKJShgfSFKLJHGkrjh #MERTHUR HATE EACH OTHER!??? WHAT SHOW ARE YOU WATCHING OMG #is there another version of the show out there or something #how can someone watch it and genuinely come away with MERTHUR HATE EACH OTHER #it's legit that post about how we truly live in different realities because #I am FLOORED by that interpretation of the show I'm truly floored #i cannot FATHOM watching the show and actually believing they hate each other????

why is it that the best way i feel can describe my problems is with the term "mana scarring".

like. this term refers to literal magic flow in the body, and yet i feel like it's the perfect metaphor to describe how absolutely stupid and brain dead i've been feeling since 2020.

#adhd #burnout #arcane ascension #btw arcane ascension is probably the best series i've ever read #istg i love it sm like #CORIN. IS LITERALLY ME WTHE WHOLE LIST THING #AND HES ACE #that book series means a lot to me ok

[yyyyyyayy]

why is there no yaoi angst like madoka magica. boring. all the bl is the same "buff guy and weak ass smooch smooch" I want them to be in pain. I want one of them to become an eldritch being and have the other desperately try to stop them to the point of becoming one themselves. Where is my horror existential crisis yaoi.

#YAOI USED IN A JOKING WAY NOT THE SICK FREAK WAY IM ACE. #seriously though like the BL i see is all the same. its boring. ngl sorry everyone #even FISH yaoi as FUNNY as it is was predictable. but funny. #maybe i haven't read enough good bl cause the shit they reccomend on insta n stuff is just ok. at best. for me. #Mdzs was good but um. that incense burner chapter. oh and winter begonia (THE SHOW. NOT THE BOOK I DONT LIKE THE BOOK.) #has a gay boy kisser or whatever mfer ever written a bl or what. where are they . or are they not getting exposure? #God. i could go on about this forever but seriously. we need more. boy kisser stories WRITTEN by boy kissers REAL. #LIKE BOY KISSERS AS IN MLM NBLM YKNOW. *PLATONICALLY SHAKES THE AUDIENCE OF 5 HUMAN FOLLOWERS* DO YOU GET IT? #RANTING IN THE TAGS SORRY #yammers rants #I've got a bone to pick in the yaoi genre. and I am out for blood. /hj #*flips hair* soon they shall see *flips cape* *homura pose*
