Books I Read in 2024

#18 - Blood Heir, by Ilona Andrews

Rating: 3.75/5 stars

I love Julie and Derek, I have always loved Julie and Derek, but the whole complicated mess of this book maybe wasn't justified by the incredibly satisfying "throw every emotion you've ever had at each other" climactic conversation between them. Did I love that scene to pieces? Absolutely. Did I love wading through endless exposition dumps explaining after the fact how Julie became Aurelia? Not really. 

Julie's post-Magic Triumphs story is doled out in pieces, and several of those pieces get repeated, yet there are still (what I feel are) giant gaps in that story, so the setup for this book is simultaneously over-explained and woefully thin. 

Derek's tale over the same time period is more mysterious, in its way, because Julie rightfully points out in her narration evidence of a radical shift in his personality, yet they speak to each other like they always have, and he reads convincingly as an older, sharper version of his younger serious self. Despite there being so much less of it, by virtue of Julie being the narrator, I think Derek's characterization is better than hers.

Flaws aside, though, I'll keep reading when the next book comes out (eventually...) I want to know why Derek has changed, and I want these two to have their happy ending.

a while back I wrote a fanfic of an AU where Kate and Ella live in Selkirk, and it's genuinely one of my favorite pieces of fanfiction I've written in my life.

So... I decided I'll continue this AU, with more works!! But this means the AU needs a name, and some designs...

So... meet Kate, in my Selkirk Switch AU! what an original name....../s

She's a young woman who recently moved into Selkirk, giving up her life in the big city for some peace and solitude in a farm she managed to buy. There, she meets Ella, and, well, you know the story. Kate is a lesbian, and a cis girl, and forgot to put it there, but she's ace, personal headcanons :)

More about her and this AU coming soon! I hope

[ id: two images of a digital, stylized drawing of Kate from Me & AU, against a sage green background. She's a chubby, short girl with light skin, green eyes, a brown-ish ginger bob with pink edges, freckles and a big nose.

Next to her is text in dark green, reading: Kate C. Farmer, human, lesbian, cis girl.

She wears a red, furry jacket, an indigo sweater, a light blue shirt, navy blue, baggy pants and dark brown shoes. The image on the right has some light shading, while the one on the left doesn't. Lineart is dark red. /End id ]

[persephinae]

It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie. Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.

oh, i guess we're getting a sidequel story in the Kate Daniels universe

comes out July 30th

Post-Save Arcadia Bay headcanons

Since we never got anything detailing what happens after Max saved Arcadia Bay, not a mention in LIS 2 or a single comic on what could've happened because Square Enix refuses to give us post content for EVERY ending in LIS. Here is my personal headcanon and what a hypothetical Post-Save The Bay universe could look like.

There is a long period of grieving after the funeral. And nightmares of Jefferson.

The Blue Butterfly is a constant presence in Max's dreams

This would be the story of Max trying to move on, going through grief, Warren, Kate and the rest of Max’s friends helping Max through this sad period of her life.

Warren comes to sleep with Max to help soothe her nightmares. Sometimes her friends have sleepovers so they don't leave Max alone.

Max goes to the psychologist. She takes pictures but almost all of them are Chloe related. At the same time with her friends. There, Max learns to value her friends EVEN more and vows not to abandon them like she did with Chloe.

Max learns to listen and get to know herself more. And to be as brave as Chloe was

Much like the raven was for BTS. Max will dream of Chloe, trying to convince Max she has to let go of her guilt and move on with her life but know that she will always be in Max’s heart and also for her.

Warren would be a positive presence for Max, always there for her and a good influence during her grieving period. They’d watch movies together in their dorm rooms and just hangout. Warren’s presence soothes Max’s broken heart and this is why Max slowly falls in love with him.

Kate, Warren, Dana, Alyssa, Stella, Juliet, Daniel and even Victoria would be there for Max

With Kate, Kate is Max’s angel. Like Warren, Kate lifts Max up after the loss of Chloe. Kate would play her violin for Max, take Max to her Church groups and Kate would allow Alice to love Max up and tea dates just to brighten Max’s days up.

Max and Victoria would make peace and Victoria would help her through her grief, which would result in Max and Victoria finally becoming friends. Victoria, Taylor and Courtney would take Max out for shopping, dress Max up and Victoria would help reignite Max’s love for photography and would not let Jefferson ruin her passion. Max and Victoria together would take some killer shots. Victoria would tell Max “when you are a famous photographer, you can put your pictures in my gallery” and it was a deal, Max would focus on becoming a photographer and Victoria would become heir to the Chase Space. Max and Victoria embrace in a hug.

Max would confront Nathan in a mental institution. Upon being visited by Max, Nathan would break down in tears and tell her he did not mean to kill Chloe, hurt Kate or hurt Rachel. He didn’t want to hurt anyone and profusely apologize, but he knows he has to live with what he’s done and Max takes it upon herself to forgive Nathan and hug him. This results in a monthly visit where Max and Victoria would visit Nathan, think of this like the fanfic The Sense Of Me for Max and Nathan’s friendship.

We could also get a dream of Chloe telling Max that she loves Joyce and that she forgives her and misses her and Max would tell Joyce this and Joyce would break down in tears.

As enough time to process the grief and begin healing, Max and Warren go Ape and Max thanks Warren for being there for her during her mourning and Max tells her how much she appreciates Warren and confesses that she loves him and kisses Warren. Also Max and Warren would go on a double date with Brooke and Daniel

Time passes and Max would graduate from Blackwell with a promising career in photography on the horizon. But also an interest in photojournalism sparks Max's interest

It could close on Max, Warren, Kate, Nathan(would be after his release and after he visits Chloe’s grave and breaks down and says he’s sorry, would also make peace with Kate, Joyce and David), Victoria, Dana, Juliet, Stella, Brooke, Daniel, Alyssa, Steph, Mikey, Frank, Joyce and David at the Lighthouse. Chloe’s spirit looking on her family and Max proudly, and Chloe’s spirit finally moves on.

[reviewsthatburn]

The main reason I didn't enjoy Spellbound by Allie Therin is that the more the characters learned about each other, the more it felt like they were ignoring red flags in order to make it all work (for more details, refer to the review linked above). I prefer books where, as the characters learn more they find out that either they're more compatible than they thought, or at least that what seemed like insurmountable issues can be substantially erased or mitigated in a durable and mutually supportive way.

Please enjoy this non-exhaustive list of books and series I've enjoyed where it originally seems like it won't work and then it does as the characters learn more about each other. Most of these are fantasy and/or romance.

Authors who frequently write this kind of story:

Most things Seanan McGuire writes, if there's a relationship it tends to be this style.

October Daye

T. Kingfisher's World of the White Rat books

Peter Darling by S.A. (Austin) Chant

Get To Know Me Game

Thank you for the tag @dream-of-the-bitchless. These were so random, I loved it. 😆❤️

Who was your first fictional crush?:

I'd say either Poison Ivy from the 90s Batman cartoon or Esmerelda from Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Cleverly disguised in my young mind as 'I want to be her.'

What’s the first colour you think of when I tell you to think of a colour?:

I'm pretty sure people who barely know of my existence here on ye oldie tumblr could still answer this one. 😅 But red.

Which fanfiction emotionally scarred you and still makes you shudder to this day?:

Left in the Darkness by locamohita456. It's an AU fic that sees Desire captured instead of Dream. I can't begin to state how phenomenonal this fic is. But dear god mind the warnings on your way in, it's a hard read in places and left me doing a whole lot of wall staring.

I’m coming to your house for dinner, non-negotiable, what are you making me?:

You're getting the same thing my daughters friends get when they visit, which is pizza and icecream. I might even order in. A good time shall be had with no airs and graces expected.

Do you prefer lions or kangaroos?:

I would have to say lions, but I admire kangaroos particular breed of tomfuckery. I learnt the other day they like to punch over astrophotographers camera/telescopes. And I love that. 😆

Which fictional villain do you brush past the glaringly obvious issues for because you really like them?:

I believe the correct question is, which fictional villian do I not brush past? But I probably let Armitage Hux get away with the most daddy issue based war crimes. Did he wipe out an entire planet? ... Yes. Is he still my precious little baby... Also yes. I make no excuses, he's a little shit and I love him. 😆

What would accompany your picture in the Burn Book in Mean Girls?:

I dunno... Bi Bush, wanders the moors dressed like Kate Bush in her most wuthered era. Most potential for crazy cat lady retirement plans. Life goals by the way. Just me and my hoard of moggies, meandering on the moors. The talk of the village Facebook group. 😆

How many days would you last in the universe of your favourite fandom?:

The Sandman? 🤔 Well, considering I'd be heading straight for the Garden of Forking Ways to live out my life in its quiet, gothic landscape, I'd probably be fine. It's the most drama free location in the Sandman. Unless Destiny doesn't like visitors... Then it could turn into some weird, horticultural version of It Follows... 😨

Have you heard of Mischief Theatre?:

"There was a goose that was porked by a ham,

I have a sausage as I am a man." 🤣

Do you feel sorry for Medusa?:

I feel angry for Medusa. Burn the world my darling, you've more then earnt the right.

Which song makes you think of your OTP?:

Oooooo, let's see, I have three for Corinthiel

The Devil and the Huntsman by Daniel Pemberton

Air That I Breathe by the Hollies

I Was Made For Loving you by Kiss

Also to this day I can't hear Tender by Blur without thinking of Dreamling

Which song makes you disassociate and daydream the fastest?:

It's not a song, it's a piece of music. But Dance of the Druids from Outlander by Bear McCreary.

Tagging @zigzag-wanderer, @mashumaru, @bobbole, @seiya-starsniper, @thelostkelpie and @marvagon to have a go if you wish to. 😊

I’ve barely spoken about Damien and Lachlan interacting with the 141 because in my mind, they’re more so just associated with them. When the two of them are nearby and the 141 needs some extra help, they’ll be there and vice versa. In this post, I go over a brief timeline of events from the early 2000s to the present game in relation between the two groups as well as the OC’s general thoughts on each member at the end! I didn’t really include Daniel much here, as I’m still ‘creating’ him lol.

As you may know, Lachlan, Damien, and Daniel are part of the Australian 2nd Commando Regiment, meaning that they – in the CoD Universe – deploy mostly to Urzikstan. For this reason, you’ll mainly see two or three of them in MW19 over MWII events/missions.

Early 2000s – Lachlan and John Price

I’ve gone over it in Lachlan’s profile more but long before TF141 was created and way before both of them become captains, Lachlan and John Price had met very early into their military careers - both being corporals or sergeants at the time - in an exchange exercise between SAS and 2CDO. At first the two butted heads quite a bit, they didn’t see eye-to-eye quite often. I chalk this up to Price being a bit more uptight and ‘by the books’ kind of guy than Lachlan at the time as he graduated as a commissioned officer and went straight for SAS selection, whereas Lachlan enlisted straight into the Australian Army as an infantryman for a few years before going for 2CDO selection.

In 2009, Lachlan joins Price with other SAS members to raid a Russian chemical lab, alongside saving Farah and Hadir. Somewhere from here onwards, Lachlan also becomes acquainted with Kate Laswell.

2010s - Lachlan and Simon Riley

(In my headcanon, Simon is approximately early to mid-30s in 2022, so let’s assume he joined the British Army around 2010 at 16/17 years old then went for SAS selection early 20s.)

Considering Simon Riley before he became ‘Ghost’, Lachlan had mentored a younger Simon on exchanges or missions at the earliest point of his SAS career. Lachlan definitely kept his eye on him though, not in a bad way! Simon just stood out from the rest of the SAS soldiers around him and he was impressed. He was a diligent soldier that was quiet and observant which made him a fantastic tracker, as well as being skilled in a multitude of things and Lachlan really took a liking to him. They were relatively close over these years until Lachlan lost contact with him, after becoming ‘Ghost’.

2016 to 2018 - Introduction of Damien and Daniel

Damien and Daniel joined the Australian Army at the age of 18 in 2014 under the influence and tutelage of Jackson Wyatt. A few years later, they went for 2CDO selection in 2018 in which were placed into Lachlan’s B-Squadron. They continued to train with Lachlan and went onto do multiple exchanges with different countries and their first deployment to Urzikstan, where they met Benjamin ‘Otter’ Lee and Captain Price for the first time.

MW2019 Missions

Piccadilly Circus: All three of them are present. This is also the first time they meet Gaz.

Clean House: Damien and Lachlan.

The Embassy: Damien and Lachlan.

The Wolf’s Den: All three present, briefly.

Going Dark: Lachlan.

2020/21

During this time, the three of them weren’t deployed a whole lot but rather stuck in Australia to train and be on rotation for Tactical Assault Group East (TAG-E). In 2020, the three of them were sent back to Urzikstan on an emergency deployment to locate and kill an AQ leader. This is where unfortunately Daniel is ambushed and killed in action (sniped) trying to drag an injured Damien out of AQ’s line of fire.

This would also be the time when Captain Price forms Task Force 141. He offers Lachlan a spot but he declines, due to wanting to mainly focus on the needs and protection of Australia. Though, he is always happy to help if they’re nearby. Damien is sent back to Sydney on leave for a few months to recover from Daniel’s death mentally, before returning and taking his revenge.

MWII 2022 Missions

Tradecraft: Damien.

Violence and Timing: Damien and Lachlan.

Lachlan’s Thoughts

Captain Price: “Chrriiiiist- I feel like I’ve known that bloke since the dawn of time. Ever since I saw that fucker proudly walking around with his commissioned rank, I knew I had to tear his ego down a bit. Now look at us. Two old fucks still serving the Monarchy *Laughs*. Unbelievable. Could go on about that bloke for a while, but just know he’s a great fella doing great things out there. Much respect.”

Ghost: “Yeah, that kid. Look, I won’t say much now that he’s gone and... redacted his old self out of respect, but the Simon I knew was special. Just wanted to protect and serve the country but now, *sigh* now that I know what he’s had to go through, I respect his decision. He’s still a great soldier as ever, I wish him the best and hope we can have a small catch-up again soon.”

Gaz: “Haha Kyle. Yeah, ever since I met him at Piccadilly, he’s been glued to Price. Kinda like Damien to me, except Price actually wants him there *laughs*. Great kid. He’s got a lot in him, that’s for sure. Always willing to learn and bend rules. He’s still got a lot to learn about this industry, but I reckon you give him some time and he’ll end up being one of the best Captains in the future.”

Soap: “Mactavish. Heard he’s stirred up quite the story – trying to sneak into the SAS at 16? Tsk. I remember John telling me about it and at the time all I could say was, “Who the fuck would be this keen on joining the SAS at that age?”. I understand now. Usually, blokes would just give up but the fire inside that kid only kept growing. He’s amazing. I see why John was so intent on training him, he’s a natural. Got a Victoria Cross at such an early stage of his career, too…He’s going places for sure.”

Damien’s Thoughts

Captain Price: “Oh? You mean that other old fart? *laughs* yeah, nah he’s a great guy. I wholeheartedly respect him. Someone I can go to for advice or a second opinion other than Lachy. They’re essentially the same, yeah? Fucked beards - if you can even call it that - and both smelly hat wearers. Wouldn't be difficult to give 'em a rinse, fellas.”

Ghost: “Who? Oh. My bad, skull face you mean? Yeah nah, never really got the skull mask get-up but whatever. Haven’t bumped into him, but I’ve heard he’s a real hotshot out on field. Can’t complain.”

Gaz: “Kyle, Kyle. Heard they call him Gaz now? Anyways, great fella. Love him. We’re the same age and got about the same amount of experience. We get on well though, I will admit it was a bit awks at first. I work with him and Price a lot, so it’s nice to catch up with ‘em every now and again. Gotta say though, he does get himself in sticky situations. Seriously, I saw that man hangin’ out of a fuckin’ Heli! Then he managed to jump across cars like he’s in a fuckin’ John Wick movie? Mad respect for an absolute mad cunt.”

Soap: “MacTav? Big Mac? That guy’s a fucking unit. Again, same age as that fella but Christ that man is built like a fucking god – remind me to ask him for his routine - and that mohawk is just fuckin' wicked. I’ve met him a couple of times over the years, again, no complaints. We get on well, a little too well for Lachlan’s liking actually. Always sendin’ us on PT seshes after we get a bit rowdy. Tsk.”

[domainxarcana]

Hey there!

My name is Domain! Feel free to call me Dom or something like that, idm any nicknames!

I’m here searching for rp partners!

- Firstly, I prefer discord. If you don’t use discord, I’m sorry but we may not mesh.

- Secondly, I am above the age of 20 and prefer to have my partners above the age of 18, please do not dm me if you are a minor.

- I do ask that you are involved in the plot making, chatting, and character development ideas. I enjoy talking about the roleplay, not just replying with no interaction. It doesn’t have to be nonstop talk but a little involvement is appreciated.

- I do not enjoy anime or anime fandom rp. I prefer oc characters in a made up world with an interactive plot we have created together. Only a few fantasy book/show worlds are okay with me, and even then I prefer ocs still. The ones I’m okay with are the Sarah J Maas universe, Ilona Andrews Kate Daniel’s universe, the Witcher, BG3, things of that sort.

- The subject of what gender to play is always a debate. I prefer to double with my partners unless we can come to an agreement.

- I DO NOT DO ABUSE RP, OR RP AS A MINOR OR HAVE PARTERS PLAY MINOR CHARACTERS. DO NOT ASK.

If you think we’d be a good match for partners, please send me a message and we can discuss it!
