So this bit of Wild Sign has been bothering me for a while:

[“I knew it then, and I know it now. I am not proud of what I did. I bound her wolf to mine by force. She was dying. She was dying and taking Sherwood with her.” He met Charles’s eyes. “I could not bear it, not after Blue Jay Woman. My wolf spirit was looking for surcease, and Leah’s was trying to survive.” He paused, then said, “I do not regret taking Leah as my mate, only that I did it without giving her an alternative.”

Charles gave him a formal nod, though both of them could hear the lie in Bran’s voice.]

Because what was the lie? Charles, I'm pretty sure, thinks the lie was taking Leah as his mate because he compares her to his mother right after. (Or maybe he compares her to his mother because he doesn't think Leah would choose Bran as she did? Its kinda a confusing tangent Charles goes on) But that doesn't /really/ make sense to me because we know that mating Leah saved his life and enabled him to become the Marrok and basically save werewolves as a species. And that he considers himself to be lucky to have found her.

But it just occured to me: the lie is obviously that he regrets not giving her a choice. Bran, the bastard, feels guilty about it but ultimately regrets nothing and would do it all over again. This, I think, is extremely fitting with Brans character as a pragmatic and ruthless dominant wolf.

The werewolves in the Mercyverse are like <3 lycanthropy is a metaphor for having periods but we're misogynists <333 we call revealing our existence to the world our Coming Out but we're homophobes <333

#mercyverse #mercy thompson series #patricia briggs #mercy thompson #i say this as if i haven't read the entire series + the spin-off and even the short stories #what can i say i like trashy books. it's like literary fast-food #still there's something so boring about supernatural societies having the exact same prejudices as our own

The dynamics of the Mercyverse make so much more sense if you assume vampires are poly by default, I’m just saying.

The issue is not that Stefan’s in love with Mercy, that’s obvious (He’s also in love with Marsilia, Wulfe, and every single one of his fledgling vampires). The problem is that Mercy’s very strictly monogamous and, also, married elsewhere.

TL;DR Mercyverse vampires are the archetypal Portlander.

#this is the real reason none of the other vampires understand Thomas Hao. he has one life partner and she’s not even a vampire #mercy thompson series #mercy thompson

Anna and Mercy's doormat tendencies.

I dislike how Anna and Mercy are nearly always soooo understanding and forgiving when their husbands treat them like shit. There's that strain of martyrdom/doormatness that i just find pathetic.

How many times has Charles brought Anna around his exes without telling her? Maggie actually meant something to Charles. He loved her once upon a time and Anna is such a martyr of course she never lashes out, gets angry or jealous. She acted more possessive when that schoolteacher flirted with Charles than she did Maggie. How lame.

And let's not forget Mercy, acting like a doormat in Night Broken. Adam would do all these small stupid shitty things, and she never lashes out at him. No its all Martyr Mercy. These days all she does is pacify Adam with sex, sex, sex.

This is why Leah is my girl. Idc if she causes problems between Bran and his sons. I love that when Bran hurts her, she lashes back, hurting him by causing strife between him and his sons. Or not attending the funeral.

Re-reading Soul Taken and you know what's always the creepiest part about Mercy Thompson novels? When she's mind controlled by magic (again). Because she doesn't know she's mind controlled and it's all from her POV and it's so creepy because we the readers realise she's mind controlled but she doesn't. Creepy as hell.

Soul Taken in a Nutshell:

One polycule's breakup causes worldwide consequences for CENTURIES.

Ever think about how Leah was probably closer mentally to ~15 than 20 when she was turned due to having her memory erased and her life as a werewolf was molded by Bran and what Bran thinks a werewolf should be. She is cold, completely in control, and cares only for werewolves and pack and has no use for anyone else. Bran thinks those he loves are his greatest weakness, and Leah rarely loves, and is able to kill those she loves without endangering her control at all.

Idk I'm just saying that if their roles were reversed and Leah thought she needed to kill Bran for the good of the pack and werewolf kind... I 100% believe she could. And she wouldn't go insane either.

#leah cornick #bran cornick #alpha and omega series #mercy thompson series #this is part of the reason why I think he struggles so much with loving her #shes exactly how he made her and exactly what he thought a werewolf should be #what he WANTS to be #and he struggles intensely with that

HELLO BOOK PEOPLE WHO LIKE ENEMIES TO LOVERS AND FANTASY

SO I WANNA MAKE A LITTLR FANFICTION OF MY CHARACTERS

HERES THE BASIC GIST OF THE BOOK THINGY

so Avyanna Danielle is a half-fae working as an FBI agent in downtown Oregon. But she isn’t the only supernatural creature there. A cop named Cameron Sinclair (who she loathes) is teamed up with her on a case (a bunch of supernatural creatures are going missing).

ALSO BOTH OF THEM ARE HOT AND FUNNY <3

Cameron is a werewolf who was turned in the 50s (he was turned when he was 23). He’s as slutty asshole and kinda a himbo but he can be super sweet and he loves kids (he has 4 sisters and 2 brothers). He gives off rebellious older brother vibes and a kinda frat boy. He’s got a ton of tattoos and he’s mixed (he makes jokes abt how he looks like a Dominican lesbian)

Avyanna is a half-fae who is kinda immortal 😍. She’s been alive since the early 1600s so yay for her. She’s a closed off, very calculated bitch who is very snarky and sarcastic. Cusses like a sailor but can surprisingly domestic when she trusts someone. But she’s scared bc ✨trauma✨. She’s got a ton of scars and accurate descriptions of mental illness yayyy

NOTE THIS USED TO BE IN THE MERCY THOMPSON UNIVERSE SO ITS A LOT OF THE SAME LORE TEEHEE

SHOULD I POST IT HERE???

Mercy: Your existence is confusing

Ben: How so?

Mercy: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to you is upsetting.

I'm way behind in reading my kickass-female-protagonist-fantasy-novels so no one else will probably have this experience, but I'm reading Soul Taken 2 weeks after I read Magic Triumphs and it's completely hilarious that Kate was like, "Our opponent this time is a literal dragon, with magic so powerful he cannot exist in our dimension, and he wants to make me his queen. I might not survive this, but I will do everything in my power to ensure that my husband and son are okay." And then Mercy's initial response to the arrival of the plot is more like, "So I just found out that my frenemy who I find legitimately frightening, the one who is actively stalking me right now and probably wants to kill me? Yeah, he used be called the Dragon back in the day. I'm done. I have had it up to here with the dragons. We've had zombie dragons, smoke dragons, let me tell you I did not sign up for this shit."

CAS Challenge Day 9 - Cryptid

So this one took me a minute to figure out, but doing a lil searching told me that skinwalkers are considered cryptids. BAM! Who is my favorite skinwalker/fantasy female character. Well that would be Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson from the books by Patricia Briggs. I even was able to have the tat below her navel & the buckshot on her butt because the wonderful @theobsessedsimmertw made it for me!! How awesome is she!?!?

Here is my fav girl ♥ Plus some pictures of Adam and Jesse Hauptman. Which I had to make because Mercy got **the call** about getting married. So I had to quick rush that. At first Adam didn't find her attractive although they popped up as fated soulmates *facepalm* So that took some changing with mccc to fix that. Then they woohoo'd, and went on a date where they became bf & gf, then engaged, woohoo'd again and eloped. She didn't get the money for some weird reason so Motherlode it is!! I had so much playing with this family that I might start a story about them. Anyways, enjoy!! @pixeledwings I can't thank you enough for making this awesome challenge, I'm loving it even if I fell behind ♥

It's interesting that Samuel has gotten more sympathy and reaction from the readers for giving away his child than Leah killing hers.
