So, I have thoughts re: Feyre’s wedding dress.
It’s pretty much accepted fandom-wide that Feyre’s wedding dress is pretty much the same as the ballgown that Sarah wore in Jim Henson’s Labyrinth (1986), which also happens to resemble Giselle’s wedding gown in Disney’s Enchanted (2007):
I really, truly hated my wedding gown. It was a monstrosity of tulle and chiffon and gossamer, so unlike the loose gowns I usually wore: the bodice fitted, the neckline curved to plump my breasts, and the skirts … The skirts were a sparkling tent, practically floating in the balmy spring air.
I might have dealt with it all if it weren’t for the puffy capped sleeves, so big I could almost see them glinting from the periphery of my vision. My hair had been curled, half up, half down, entwined with pearls and jewels and the Cauldron knew what, and it had taken all my self-control to keep from cringing at the mirror before descending the sweeping stairs into the main hall. My dress hissed and swished with each step. ~ Feyre’s description from ACOMAF
I know it’s canon that Ianthe chose the gown, but it also seems cartoonishly exaggerated for the vaguely medieval fantasy setting we were given in Book 1. (The weirdly modern oversized sweaters and leggings Feyre wears later are another topic for another day.) Now, anyone who’s read my fanfiction knows I’m partial to Feylin as a pairing, but I’d like to imagine an AU where Feyre was actually looking forward to her wedding. (SJM seems to think wedding scenes are corny, for some reason, so I guess it’s no surprise that Feyre hated every aspect of it in the story.) If it were up to me, her wedding gown would have looked something like this:
Source: a now defunct site dedicated to medieval wedding gowns from which I saved this image several years ago.
If I remember right, the gown was called Titania, which seems fitting for a faerie queen’s future Lady of the Spring Court’s gown, don’t you think?
Not to mention how much more annoying it would be if Feyre actually liked her wedding gown when Rhys told her she looked ridiculous in it, but that’s another discussion entirely...
Canon is canon, I get that, but the Titania dress fits the Spring Court aesthetic better than the puffy ballgown ever did, and I stand by that.

heard you need distractions so here I am!
Do you have any other book recs?? They don't necessarily have to be hannibal related its just that I'm going on a trip to Italy in a few days and I need stuff to read
Ahhh first off I'm so jealous, I miss Italy so much
Secondly I am not essentially proud of myself as a reader because I am not good at balancing uni work and reading but I can recommend you my all time favorite book, The Little Prince, a classic.
And if you are into autobiographies, definitely read "Love, Friends and The Big Terrible Thing" by Matthew Perry. It is life changing imo.

I could ABSOLUTELY be wrong on this cause I've had this thought for 2 seconds while watching an avatar analysis video but
is the firestar kittypet storyline just a white savior indigenous peoples trope oh my god oh my g-
AHSDHD more likely it's just the classic newbie to hero arc but omfg just had someone explain the trope as "white savior becomes part of the tribe and somehow is a better native than the natives so he leads them to victory"

I find it interesting how, despite my fear of the sea, it always crops up in my writing. Nature as a whole features often, of course, but the sea— it is there, a strong, consistent presence. The first love story I wrote (well, am still writing) is centered around the sea. My portfolio is about the sea. Some of my best scribbles have been written when by the ocean.
I suppose it's where my fear of it is drawn from a great love and respect for it. It is an untameable force, and it is terrifying, but it is beautiful for it.

I am kinda curious, since Mizu is moving to London, are the writers going to let her speak English and show that, or are the writers going to be just like: uhhhh anyway, moving on--
Because I'm not sure if Fowler will be by Mizu's side 24/7, so it would be interesting to watch her deal with linguistic barriers, while also learning the language itself.
/////But I can also imagine all the jokes related to [L] or [r], Because certain sounds in English are hard to recreate for foreigners (such as me), though those could be overused in the media already, but maybe I'm just reaching.💀/////
