Books have arrived!

They also came in a parcel with cool European stamps!

Normally I'd be tempted to save the stamps but the package they came in appears to use recycled papers packing material and it's shedding all over my kitchen XD

These comics are from the very cool @a-gnosis and you should check them out at

Content warnings: it's Greek mythology so sexual abuse, incest, abusive relationships, abortion, violence, it's pretty much all there.

Thoughts On: The Good Counselor

So I finally got around to reading The Good Counselor.

@therkalexander, turn on your location! I just wanna talk!

In all seriousness, as a whole, I love this series and I'm hoping that'll continue as the series goes on, mostly because Hades is actually allowed to be flawed rather than just being a perfect spouse at best or a romanticized prick at worst and this carries over into the next book wonderfully (but seriously Hades, you really should've told Persephone about the plan, wtf)! And this goes for the series in general, but as someone who doesn't read explicit books often (the only other one being MXTX's novels), I like how the intimacy isn't just included for the sake of it.

Out of all the gods, I was actually surprised to find just how much I enjoyed Aphrodite. I already liked her portrayal, how she's technically a foreigner despite the seafoam story, and even now, still doesn't really fit in with most of the Hellenic gods, but is still so unapologetically her. But now? Seeing just how far she's willing to go to get Dumuzi back just made me like her as a character even more! And I cannot wait to see Persephone's reaction if/when she finds out that one of her best friends has had ulterior motives this entire time, especially when keeping the whole Adonis incident in mind.

And really, I love how this series handles the theme of gods willing to go through extreme lengths for their loved ones in general, from Demeter's destruction after Persephone was kidnapped to even Apollo being desperate to save Asklepios, silver lyre aside. Even Hera gets a tiny bit of this regarding the oath and what it means for her children and their birthright.

And speaking of children, I already knew full well that Zagreus wasn't going to live long since that's what happens according to the myth anyway and I also knew that Hera would have a hand in it. How it happens, though, was just cruel, even for Hera! I've always been a fan of the Beware the Nice Ones and Beware the Quiet Ones tropes, so having Hestia of all gods be the one was punish her was really cathartic! I also wasn't expecting to see Makaria and Melinoe be born at the end, let alone be twins, (I actually thought one or both of them were going to be born in the next book), so that's cool!

Other favorite scenes include Persephone calling out Aidon after she finds out about Zagreus being reincarnated and Athena threatening Zeus. Seeing Demeter be more supportive of her daughter was also nice. As for favorite characters, besides Aphrodite, that would go to Orpheus and Eurydice. I loved them the moment they appeared, especially Eurydice, and that was when I knew I wasn't going to be in for a good time, but I'm glad they're together again in death! Also, if anyone can make a cover of Orpheus' songs, that'd be great!

Just finished Destroyer of Light, by Jennifer Marie Brisset, and wow, what a beautiful piece of Afrofuturism. I'm a sucker for space and aliens, and this book scratched a deep itch. Highly reccomend it.

💠💙Light of Stars (and the Destroyer)

By:Sanguis

Summary:

The marriage is supposed to be a punishment, a way to extend Wei Wuxian’s isolation. After all, Wangji has met the man (when they had both been boys, untouched by war); Wei Wuxian could hardly be asked to fit seamlessly into the regimented life of a Lan.

Yu Ziyuan is a formidable, cruel woman, Wangji decides then. She is also wrong if she thinks Wangji will play part in her cruelty.

(And Wei Wuxian, it seems, is so much more than meets the eye).

*

There is a tale of the Light of Stars and the Destroyer.

Chapter:1/1

Words:22,196

Status:completed

At Wangji’s side, Wei Wuxian has run out of patience. Wangji feels it in the shift of his husband’s stance, and squeezes Wei Wuxian’s hand. If the sect leaders are going to be deliberately obtuse, well then Wei Wuxian has never been one to pull his punches. Wangji should know. “You wanted to speak to the Yiling Laozu,” Wei Wuxian says, “so speak.” It takes them by the throat. Wangji looks at a fixed point ahead, but he still sees the statement ripple through the gathered clans, sees a few of them choke. Sees the smarter ones put one and two together to make three, connecting the young cultivator who had razed the fields of Qishan, laying waste to the Wen army, to the young man who had stood defiant in front of Jin Guangshan in his own palace, to the protector of the Wen remnants, to the thing that had settled in the Yiling Burial Mounds. Yiling Laozu. Yiling Laozu wed to Hanguang-Jun. (Wangji shouldn’t smile but he thinks the one to make it to Qi deviation first is Lan Qiren).

~~~

Ah, hostage?” Wei Wuxian says. “I don’t hold anyone hostage, least of all children. The boys can go wherever they please.” This is met with great disbelief, as if they can’t see with their own two eyes that the children aren’t restrained. A-Yuan is starting to feel upset, if the way he clings to Wei Wuxian is any indication, his bottom lip wobbling in a manner he has definitely learnt from A-Yu. The only thing that keeps him from crying is the gentle whispers from Wei Wuxian telling him he is being very good, and that he’ll only have to be good a little longer. “Jin Xuanyu, come to your father,” Jin Guangshan says, smiling like a reptile. Wangji almost laughs at the mere idea of it, that Jin Guangshan has ever been a father. Jin Zixuan looks uncomfortable enough at the idea, throwing a disparaging look at the man who had sired him, as if to say that Jin Guangshan has never been a father to anyone. “A-Yu,” Wei Wuxian says quietly but clearly, “go to your father.” This, too is met with silence. Wangji feels A-Yu shift against his leg as if having decided not to hide anymore, and his eyes widen when the child tugs at his sleeve. A-Yu says, “Baba, up!” It’s purely on reflex that he lifts A-Yu into his arms, the weight familiar. A-Yu, still shy and nervous, buries his face in Wangji’s neck. It’s where he’s most comfortable, and Wangji can’t help but settle a protective hand against A-Yu’s back. The gathered sect leaders and their disciples watch this whole thing, too stunned to even speak or protest. “Well,” Wei Wuxian says cheerfully. It masks his surprise well, but Wangji had seen a flash of it. “That’s clear then. Let it be known that this is not Jin Xuanyu. It cannot be anyway, since I gave birth to this child and no one’s laid a hand on me except for Hanguang-Jun.” Wangji says nothing, not a word. His ears grow hot, but his expression remains completely smooth. He had done more, much more, than simply lay hands on Wei Wuxian, but that is something no one else is privy to.
