Books of 2023: IMPERIAL RADCH by Ann Leckie.

Up next! This came highly recommended by many friends (and also the internet at large when I asked for SFF revenge recs, so thanks!), and I have Tracked Down The Original Covers, so I'm ready to go.

So far 2024 has seen me knocked flat by a cold, but hey, enabled my first book of the year to start and finish!

#another ticky in the new year box #gotten nowhere with the exercise part #but also doing cracker on the watching what I eat #thanks cold! #jet wolf sometimes reads too #in case anyone was wondering: #i enjoyed it #REALLY HIT SOME OF MY PERSONAL HORROR BUTTONS LOOKING AT YOU DOLLS #it felt in parts a little like a one or two step up christopher Pike #which I mean complimentary #in that it was very easy to read and I had a good time doing it #it was a little hand-holdy in places which grated on me a little #(yes I get what this is really all about I get it I promise) #and I think suffered in part from me having just come off of The Witch Elm #but it's absolutely competent and held my interest from start to finish #even legit creeped me out in places #and laughing to hacking in others #a good pulpy horror read #and I'll check out the author's other books when that's exactly what I'm in the mood for

Me and a friend made NV Year 12 bingo cards. Here's mine:

#explanations going top down #Janice deserves a VA just as much if not more than her mother #I'm a Fey truther 🤡 #Kate Jones liked my IG post. need i say more? #if Charles gets a vocal appearance i think there's a high chance he gets an official VA #Silas <3 #this was shuffled but dad lore being the free space is perfect cause i already told y'all #I'm waiting for the CC/SM wedding. all the interns are invited! oh wait #i will be the only one hoping for a 1983 mention because i didn't make a viral post for nothing #i crave the awkward sourness of a cecilos charlevin double date #also the babies playing together while their dads all bicker #they made a fnaf episode. what can't they do? #and yes. i do hope for DB merch and a new novel #because DB girlies only have the road sign!! i want pins damnit! #and it's been another 3 years. they could do an October book launch again (FOW just wanted to be different) #the title is for manifesting shoosh #wtnv #welcome to night vale

just saw one of your fave musicals is frankenstein and i used to have SERIOUS brainfunk about that one

Musical I am extremely normal about

#Frankenstein #Frankenstein a new musical #I’m gonna be real I forgot I had my ask box open LMAO but yes hi #gothic musicals are my favorite genre of musicals so Frankenstein fit in perfectly #unlike Jekyll and Hyde (another top fav) the musical follows the book pretty religiously #with a few minor changes for MORE DRAMA #also it honestly plays as one of the main things I listen to when I’m writing OC stuff teehee #goddamn you first homestuck now this

i like the natsume dub, but i'm glad i watched it with subs first. for one thing, the japanese voice acting simply cannot be beat. for another, the dub translates nicknames into english - for instance, the little tatsumi that hatches from an egg, turning natsume into a teen dad, is called "eggy" in the dub instead of "tama" (which unless i'm mistaken is a shortened form of the japanese word for "egg") - which isn't a bad thing, but it does end up creating the possibility of a little misunderstanding once you get to taki's first episode. because if you couldn't hear the japanese, and you were accustomed to characters getting jokey english nicknames like eggy, and you heard that a character who hadn't talked for almost a year was named something that sounded phonetically like "talkie", would you assume that she had a completely different name in japanese that was a pun on the japanese word for "talk"? because that's probably what i would have assumed lol. but luckily i watched it in japanese with subs first, so. crisis averted!

#natsume VO: everybody talks‚ but for nearly an entire year‚ that 'talkie' girl tried not to. <-what it sounds like he's saying in the dub #you can practically hear the air quotes #especially because when it's her first episode you have no idea that she's about to become a recurring character #she could be another one-off guest character natsume meets once and maybe encounters a second time three seasons later #as opposed to his new best friend. you don't know that in her first episode #so given that this could be her only appearance...it wouldn't be that crazy for her to have some novelty name For The Lulz #like i probably would've watched the whole show thinking ah yes here is Natsume & his friends Tanuma Nishimura Kitamoto and Talkie #i would have come on here and made a total fool of myself spelling her name like that #people would have been like tf are you talking about dude #i'd be like you know‚ the girl with the spell circles? #and they would have been like DO YOU MEAN TAKI????? #i would have had to retire. never show my face here again. #natsume's book of friends #translation #names #puns #my posts #natsume yuujinchou #taki tooru #watch me write this whole thing about how the dub makes it possible for you to think her name is a pun when it obviously isn't #and then have a japanese speaker come on here like 'actually 'taki' IS a pun in japanese. the dub perfectly translated this joke' #that would be so funny. what if

cunt.

#amidst all this t/error and o/pera posting lets not forget what's truly important. #aramis. and igor starygin's cunty little face in his cunty blonde wig (with fabulous bangs!) #i will never stop being obsessed with him. this is not a promise. this is a threat. #but its a promise too <33 #the three musketeers #igor starygin #the moste aramis ever. they can make as many new t3m adaptations as they want. but #there will never be another aramis with this much insane bitch energy #yes they had to nerf him a little cause the movies still had to be family friendly at the end of the day. and because they knew #no one could handle starygin as *completely* book accurate aramis. it doesnt matter. he still served better than anyone. king. i love you sm #vingt ans apres #twenty years after #d'artagnan and the three musketeers #uhhh yeah im not typing in cyrillic sorry jshsjssh

I have started making a new playlist (something I almost always do when I find a new obsession) and it’s hard to keep making it because I’m not done with the source material yet and I am not about to search for spoilers so it’s just so much guesswork right now.

#i started reading some new books #i did not expect to get into them because the fans i’ve seen on social media are just like #next level rabid about it but who am i to judge there #and you know there’s another hot male character they love to woobify and that turns me off to a series so fast if i’m not already obsessed #anyway i am actually enjoying the books now and am on the third one and yes i am actually obsessed with him too #but in a chill way because i’m cool obviously #my friend was listening to book 3 on the plane so i bought book one #and now i’ve been reading them faster than she’s listening lol #anyway this is why i have 8 million playlists on spotify because i do this every time #personal

got thinking about Seasons!Dogwarts and Christmas and just

what if the gods don't really celebrate holidays because they go by so quickly, so while the soldiers know of Christmas they've never really celebrated it before.

what if they just have a simple little party at Ren's (it's theirs, now) place. what if they just scrambled together for little gifts to give to each other. what if Ren carefully picked out everything he got to make sure the soldiers loved them and knew he loved them. what if they sung Christmas carols and realized exactly what the lyrics meant half way though and how they were singing about a holiday of togetherness. what if Etho, so famous for not liking holidays, realizes during the dinner that night that they can love a holiday that is widely celebrated. what if BigB realizes that despite all the arguments and jokes he actually loves parts of winter.

thinking about Ren trying his best to cook dinner, only for Martyn and Etho to step in to help. Thinking about BigB having a running commentary during any Christmas movies they watch. thinking about Skizz having a notebook dedicated to thinking of gift ideas

Was that the first time they truly realized that this place was theirs? yeah sure they had moved in, but when did it become theirs instead of Ren's? was it instant or did it take until the holiday of togetherness and gathering?

Just. they're learning what being human means

@thenopequeen @dingdinghq come get the loser cats (/affectionate)

#just... ewqhbfwiqb #also for the record i am living with the mental image of Ren getting them little personal gifts #giving etho some books and one of those heated blankets. giving skizz a couple cds he had been looking at. #giving martyn some cooking stuff he'd mentioned wanting back in october. giving bigb a book of cookie recipes to learn because b loves them #dogwarts seasons au #dogwarts #trafficblr #3rd life #also yes at some point the soldiers move into rens apartment (well get a new place together because there's five of them now) #that is a post for another time because i decided that despite being gods they get silly jobs to truly understand the Human ExpiranceTM

readin one of my detective books (the galton case) and the conceit of those stories is that the guy can't die, or else you run out of book. you've got a pamphlet. so you get used to them getting hit over the head very very hard and waking up (unharmed) to go do more plot things, or getting a kind of sexy bruise situation going on, but rarely getting hurt in a significant way. but there's a part in that where lew archer gets fucked UP. multiple weeks in hospital, jaw wired shut, no teeth, eyes swollen shut fucked up. he got hit over the head and i thought oh, okay, so here comes the next scene and then it was just two more pages of crying and hitting and i was like oh holy shit??

#text post #yes... ahaha.... YES....!! #they weren't kidding... that galton CAN case #love stuff like that. stomach churning. poor bastard #always taking recs for noir/detective novels be they old or new #if you're doing books about the horrible violence people do to one another might as well go all in right

I finished the novel and found it DELIGHTFUL

#i shall be having a movie night this friday. or tmrw. depends #i loved it #idk i think a lot of the talk around the story and the movie is that #people were expecting rwrb to be….idk. more political in nature? #but that’s not really mcquiston’s thing #they write romance #the romance just happens to be queer #and yes. queer romance is inherently political in its existence #and they don’t shy away from that #but they are also not intending to write a manifesto on government and queer liberation #sometimes. one can just. tell a story. and it can be sweet and fun and chresy #and we can save toppling the monarchy for another book. #liz reads #idk if any of this is accurate #maybe I just need to not take in any takes on a new thing ever again.

outfit of the day!

spot the differences. *snort* ignore me.

actually felt alright today, before mood plummeted to its death, like a tightrope walker without safety net, a couple hours ago.

so eh. enjoy the cheeky smile i managed before the good mood decided to fuck off to parts unknown.

new tattoo got finished yesterday (will post closeup pics later, i took some pics but it’s still very red & slightly puffy where she used grey ink, for some reason, so dunno if i’ll use those, or wait longer and take pics once it’s properly healed… 🤷‍♀️)

also showing off my new saddle plugs. 👇 they’re the first ones i’ve actually tried. previously i only ever got ‘normal’ tunnels and plugs and generally of the stone variety. (but those are damned expensive, esp since i’m considering slowly but surely increasing the stretch). glad i also got silicone tunnels though. no way would i be able to sleep with the saddle ones.

#i also booked a session next month #for another new tattoo #yes it will be my 3rd new tattoo this year #without counting the session used to finish the old one #but since they are currently #the only thing standing between me & (more serious) sh #i’ll take it #i look at these pics #and i can’t really fathom they’re of me #ignore me #i’m talking nonsense #kit's #diary #ootd
