oh, uh, this...this isn't Silver's backstory after all.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #surprise! it's actually everyone else's backstory! #screaming. just screaming forever. #malenoa my new beloved #like. i kind of figured something had happened to malleus' parents because maleficia seems to be his only relative? #but i didn't know it was going to be a whole THING #hey silver did your shitbag ancestor kill malleus' mom #oh boy this is going to be super embarrassing for you #also i keep interpreting レヴァーン as raven and i kind of think that's not the intended meaning #it's probably supposed to be like. lavern or something? #however #it means i keep thinking of malleus' dad as raven. his cool raven dad who mysteriously disappeared 400 years ago. that guy. raven. #and slowly sliding my eyes towards the explicitly raven-themed character who literally has 'raven' written on his design #do you...do you think that... #it couldn't be. but do you think... #i swear to god if crowley takes off his mask and goes 'SON' i'm gonna #i don't even know what i'd do but crowley darth vader-ing malleus would be the twist of the fucking century #truly the funniest possible outcome. i kind of do actually want it to be true now #sorry mal turns your dad is an enormous dork and also the principal #bright side no one is going to be intimidated by you anymore

me sending yet another email to a French public service to ask them why they use so many gratuitous English words in a service that's supposed to be non-discriminatory and accessible to everyone in the country

#this time it's about the paris library network which offers new book suggestions every month #and so many of the category titles are in english..... why? all the books are in french #'cosy mystery' 'space opera' 'road trips' 'climate fiction' < all of these were in english #i don't care how widespread some of these phrases are; you are public libraries and the public speaks french #do you really want to discourage people who don't read in english from clicking the links to check out the books? #why are you doing this. i am throwing virtual tomatoes at you #a lot of older people are confused or intimidated by this deluge of english loanwords. fuck them i guess? #and yes i picked napoléon in waterloo because i know this is a losing battle #même à la fnac on voit des intitulés de rayon en anglais alors que le rayon ne contient que des livres français...

Advertising is a nightmare and I have no idea what I’m doing so I’m just gonna rant about the book that I’m writing

It’s got cool monsters in it. A not so secret society. Academic modern setting but with the Oxford gothic vibes ifykyk. Uhhh Ill-fated yin and yang lovers(not the main characters dw). Duo POV from our two main Characters, the student and teacher. Vigilantism— magical realism. Found family of course.

It’s called When Red Meets Blue and it should be getting published in August :) follow me for more updates. I’m sure it’ll be a fun time getting there

I think it’s be funny to have a Spider-Man that is genuinely just a kid, not like a teenager or a kid who understands the gravity of his abilities but a kid who does heroics simply because that’s cool to a kid.

The gimmick is that the villains think it’s a gimmick and Spider-Man(?) fucks with them by acting like a kid to make ‘em feel bad or embarrass them only for them to realize he’s a literal child due to a forced team up where they like offer him a brewski afterwards and he’s legitimately like “Mr I am 9 years old, I just do this cause my aunt can’t take me to the park every afternoon.” And they grill him on adult things and he sits there just blanking cause he’s fucking 9.

#uncle Ben dies still but it’s not Peters fault but he ends up idolizing super hero’s hard #cause he believes that if one got there in time he could’ve been saved and dreamed of being the hero to do it #and then he got bit on a school feild trip to an oscorp sponsored science center where a mysterious new breed of spider was being shown and #got out and being the brave boy he is he found and caught it but not before being bit #all the villains are the same age if not a tad younger give or take a year #and they alls are like does that new hero seem a little childish? yeah he acts like a 4th grader and peters like #um actually a 5th grader 🤓 #he’d still be scarily smart for a kid his age cause the villains are only slightly more forgiving in this version #all his friends are his age and he’s a paper boy for the daily bugle instead and he would end his adventures reading the paper about his #exploits like his very own comic book and he sends in pictures of himself doing dumb stuff as a joke but Jameson is like #this ten year old is our best photographer and Eddie ‘grown ass has beef with a kid’ Brock hates him #like tbh only harry mj gwen and his high school mates are his age villains are adults cause it’s funnier #peter parker #peter b parker #spider-man #spiderman #spidersona #Spiderverse #a technicality but yeah #Spider-Man(?) au #I’m gonna think about this for a bit

#semi out of context twitter repost but #listen i was mid convo and i had a revelation #new buzzfeed quiz just dropped how deep are YOU into the queer vintage anime pit of doom??? #yes this is how i got into it (stage 0 and 1) #kawoshin is a retro anime mystery busting gateway drug #im on like level 16000 but that's like. literally beginner level i am a single celled organism who knows nothing #layer 2450 is looking up old shojo magazine covers and shuddering saying 'oh...its blonde blue eyed white people all the way down' #and layer 2457 is trying to figure out what to make of that information and exercising nuanced internal criticism of it #layer 0 can also be 'eva akira and utena are THE retro anime it doesnt rly go back further i think maybe unless its a popular long shonen' #not that all those onions would be expressed at omce #layer 7329 is remembering your kuroshitsuji phase and awkwardly side eyeing the alois kid once you watch the kazeki ova #actually some of these are sooo poorly scaled listen i wasnt planning on making a huge metaphor cut me a little slack #anyways its definitely like slipping down a massive hole but like a cool one like in alice in wonderland #and it smells of old books in both a pleasant way and a spooky way #i need to get mentally better to clear floor 45000 and become jp fluent to clear floor 65000 im a noob

‘gay retelling of a classic!’ ‘feminist sapphic twist on this greek myth!’ why don’t you write a better book than that. i think we deserve better books than that

#just had ‘jane austen’s mansfield park reimagined as a sapphic murder mystery’ advertised 2 me on IG. and i just think you should write a #better book than that. if you want to write a ‘sapphic murder mystery’ then write it. the fact that you have to lean on existing classics #and advertise yours as a ‘retelling’ or a ‘twist’ or a ‘reimagining’ suggests to me that you are not a very good writer. sorry this is very #hatery but i believe it…just write a new book. a better book. what is the point of writing a gay version of wuthering heights other than it #solves your problem of not being able to come up with a plot because you are not a very good writer. i dont know. i suppose there is space #for anything and should be space for all sorts in the publishing industry but also i hear sapphic murder mystery mansfield park and i think #that’s probably not a very good book. idk. there is excellent queer and feminist original fiction out there without the need to take #existing literature at random and use that as a crutch for some reason… #(ridi's) bigmouth strikes again

the "House of the Rising Sun" fucks so hard that I have five different versions of it on my phone and I wrote half a book to it but y'all aren't ready to have that conversation

#house of the rising sun #the animals #hannah huston #lauren o'connell #jeremy renner #and of course the DUBSTEP version #listen a version for every mood my beloved #it is THE theme tune to my murder-mystery-hotel-for-monsters-book-that-takes-place-in-Richmond-Virginia #yes I know the song is about New Orleans shut up #the vibes are IMMACULATE

Only 7 days to go until Something Terrible Happened Last Night is out in the wild!!

After 7 adult thrillers it's my YA debut 😱🥳

It’s Katie’s 17th birthday – the dancefloor is packed, the drink is flowing and Rave-fess, the Raven’s Hill School confession site, is alight with gossip. Then a huge fight breaks out, sending guests fleeing.

When Frankie, Jess and Sorcha go back to help Katie clear up her wrecked house before her parents get home, they find more than broken bottles … There’s a body on the living room floor.

Can Frankie, Sorcha and Jess discover what really happened that night?

You'll have to read it, to find out what!

Grab it here:

April, as always in New York, had brought precious little respite from the biting cold of March.
