'Panique' – darkness in post-war France on Criterion Channel
Julien Duvivier, one of the godfathers of French poetic realism, announced his return home from his World War II Hollywood sojourn with the dark, savage French noir Panique (France, 1947).
Based on the novel “Monsieur Hire’s Engagement” by the prolific George Simenon, Panique stars Michel Simon as the eccentric Hire, an aloof misanthrope eyed with suspicion by his gossipy neighbors. As he stalks…

so i've been reading a lot of ana huang books recently. and by a lot, i mean the whole twisted series and the first book in the kings of sin series. the way ana huang writes her characters and the way she connects them and the way they flow seamlessly together is something i feel like i will never find in any romance series or books really. i mean i also haven't read a lot of romance. so it could be that. okay so to the real deal ranking the men i've read so far about. I have two lists actually so please bear with me.
what my logical brain which is good at reasoning and has good self preservation says:
1. Rhys Larsen
2. Dante Russo
3. Josh Chen
4. Christian Harper
5. Alex Volkov
what my heart wants:
1. Josh Chen
2. Dante Russo
3. Rhys Larsen
4. Christian Harper
5. Alex Volkov
okay that's that and i understand why y'all hate Josh. but i feel like i understand why he did what he did. and also they were both in the wrong equally as compared to the other books. like i understand what he did was horrible but i can't help it I love him.
as for my least liked Alex, I don't know I just find him very bland and meh. like yeah the sex was a-fucking-mazing to read and I love sweet sunshine Ava. but he just didn't do anything for me. Alex stans don't come for me. i don't hate him completely I promise.
and i cannot and will not stop raving about Dante Russo. he is my ideal man. the man of my dreams. i would sell all my organs if it meant i could have a man like him.
Rhys Larsen is perfect. that's it.
and Christian was an interesting person for me to read. I don't know how to feel about him. like obviously what he did was so horrible. if I was Stella I would chop his dick off. but again it's all fictitious so whatever. i feel like i could not tolerate him. he was more interesting to read than Alex though, since the higher ranking.
I will read the other kings of sin books and keep you guys updated because i love reading romance and smut obviously.

The Champion of Kirkwall
my beloved Vivian Hawke, as done by the delightful @stellorc. (don't be fooled by all the red, she's almost exclusively-blue personality-wise.... but she's just hit her limit.) set sometime post-DA2 during her involvement with the mage rebellion!
