I'm taking a break from the rapture to lead an inquisition.
Not a real inquisition. I don't have the resources for that.
I'm talking about Dragon Age: Inquisition. On Twitch. Come join me.
I got this book, "The Girl Who Drank The Moon" by Kelly Smith. It made me SO mad. It's super well written, the plot makes sense. It has poetry and the poetry is nice too. You root for the characters. But it randomly switches perspectives between the two storylines endlessly and discombobulates you so bad you lose all momentum. Now all of sudden you can't read. In the end I had to just skim the fight sequences cause my brain stopped brain-ing thanks to the sheer amount of perspective shifts suddenly colliding into one.
10/10 would recommend.
It's always disappointing when there are multiple perspectives, but only one of them is actually interesting. Especially when they're very disconnected from each other
Baldur's Gate 3 has me in its unrelenting grip. I am obsessed.
Especially with the problematic king himself, Enver Gortash.
I love him. I want him as a romance option for both Durge and Tav. I want my Durge to reunite with the lover she can't remember. I want Tav to drag that man kicking and screaming through his redemption arc.
Tavtash is definitely my preference out of the two. Because god forbid I just have a normal ship with an abundance of fic. No, of course not. My dumbass has to go running for a rare pair.
And on that note, I really need fic writers to remember that Durge is not Tav!! They are not the same. Durge can be evil or good. Tav can also be evil or good. But they are fundamentally different characters regardless of how you play or write them.
So, please, please please please stop using Tavtash tags for Durgetash. I keep getting so excited that there's finally another piece of Tavtash content, only to find that it's actually Durge.
I like Durge, and I like Durgetash, and I will still enjoy Durgetash content. But y'all are getting my hopes up and then crushing them. So please stop using Tavtash tags for Durgetash content.
Not me only now watching Teen Wolf like 5 years after it ended
STOP the fucking song and back it up to the start we didn't think about the right thing at the right time our head music video is all messed up what the fuck guys come on
I am finally done with The Secret History. I never have to read a single word of that awful book ever again. It is one of the worst things I've ever read and I hate that it exists. But now I'm done with it. It's over. I'm finally free.
And now, I just want to ask one little question.
How on earth are so many people hyping up a book this racist, this misogynistic, this homophobic, this incredibly overwritten?
I just don't understand how so many people can say that it's good when it's one of the most bigoted things I've ever seen.
Made it one word into a post and just deleted it immediately.
Like....no
Okay, so here's my problem.
I have issues and criticisms of Contrapoints and Lindsay Ellis that I would love to actually discuss with people who would actually know who and what I'm talking about, which excludes everyone in my real world life.
But I also can't really discuss this sort of thing online either because both of these women have hatedoms that will glom onto any reason to harass them and I really don't want them using anything I might say to do so.
Like, look at the contrapoints tag here on tumblr and, aside from the fans just enjoying stuff they like, you'll find that most of the criticism is either full TERF bs or quickly attracts full TERF bs.
And I want nothing to do with that. I don't want to read the nasty vitriol they spew out or in any way contribute to their gross bigotry.
My issues/criticisms really don't have anything to do with either of these women being women. And I don't want to get mixed up with the crowd for whom that is their issue.
I just really don't like feeling like I need to bite my tongue because bigots want to act in bad faith
Earthlings by sayaka murata; the fmc was annoying, it was always this weird bragging mixed with "poor lil me" also, it dragged sooooooooooo bad, it felt like half the book was only 15 minutes of plot, and it was the most boring 15 minutes u could imagine, nothing happened and it keep dragging and dragging and i couldn't finish it
I haven't heard of this one, but I accept your offering and will hate this book on your behalf
Messy bi who dresses like a four-year-old despite being in my 30s
