@beesunbee I LOVE RIN AND NEZHA SO MUCH 
            
            I'm on the third book but I know what happens.
            
            I have so many books I need to read too. I have The Good Girls Guide to Murder, Caraval + the Once Upon A Time story?? i think?? plus the new Legendborn and THG books coming out in March so I'm hoping to get more reading done this year. On top of my ASOIAF reread, and needing to finish Ember In The Ashes series.

one thing I've thought about recently is how addicts are often told not to get in relationships during their recovery, and sarah j. maas had nesta sleep with and start a relationship with cassian throughout her supposed recovery.
          
          what made it worse was that cassian was meant to act as her caregiver. 
          
          but, yeah, fuck everyone in that book except for emerie, nesta, gwyn, and azriel.

@thenaskywalker i had no idea about the bonus chapter.  wow.  see, the characters and storylines from the “acotar” series are certainly stories i will never invest in a reread.

@beesunbee personally, with all that happened in acosf (on top of the way cassian was forcing himself onto her knowing she was SA'ed in a bonus chapter), I can't personally ship them at all. I think the way mates work in that world (which isn't based on compatibility, but on breeding) also messes with it because a lot of the behavior is not "love" behavior, but toxic possessive behavior from my perspective. 
            
            I think to make mates be based purely on who can create the stronger offspring instead of how well two people fit together is a massive misstep on sjm's part, and it doesn't make me believe in the sanctity of mating in her world in regards to ships.

i still think it's real fucking weird when people change gay characters sexualities so they can be with a female oc. 
          
          either learn to write male characters or don't write it at all.

@thenaskywalker omg i hate it. like i was looking for a good ian gallagher story and all i could find was female ocs

it is extremely— no for me when i see it. i’ve unfollowed a mutual over it because you get the “being gay doesn’t matter to their character” when I was explaining why it did matter for alec lightwood

just a reminder cause I keep being reminded on twt but rebecca yarros (fourth wing) and sarah j maas (acotar, crescent city, throne of glass) are both zionist

thenaskywalker

@MollyMolesMay i can't accurately criticize fourth wing without reading other than knowing the author is a zionist. maybe one day if I find a way to pirate it online easier, I'll read it. 
            
            currently, I'm on the last book of the poppy war trilogy. it's pretty good, but it's extremely different from those books and a lot darker. it takes inspiration from chinese history instead of european history. OR I would recommend the ember in the ashes series by sabaa tahir.

@thenaskywalker I've never read either but I was going to read Fourth Wing since it's been recommended to me lol so I'm glad I haven't yet.

@tomsturridge I've been reading sjm books (‍☠️) so I can criticize the actual content of her work, it took me three tries to do acotar before forcing my way through it. can't find a good place to do fourth wing yet but the first two chapters I've done, wasn't worth it imo

gonna be completely honest. hate dream. enjoying watching the internet dog pile on his narcissistic, manipulative ass and the fact he constantly deletes post that proves him to be a shitty person. 
          
          you called an entire fan base the r-slur, all to defend a trump supporter. if you don't want people to think you are one (especially as a queer man), then don't immediately come to the defense of a man being reminded of that. 
          
          xqc and mizkif are both shitty fucking people — and dream is a shitty fucking person too. 
          
          you're also a piece of shit for showing porn to minors, all because they wanted to be treated like adults (equals).

@dantesbooker dream is just "I have evidence but I won't show it" to prove his points just tells me he doesn't!! he constantly deletes shuff, tubbo said it perfectly that he says stuff, he likes drama tweets then deletes it or unlike so it can't be used against him later.
            
            this is the same temperament that lovejoy and wilbur use to defend wilbur for what he did to shelby. if you have evidence that clears your name, that shows you're a good person and the people talking shit about you are bad, show it or else I'm assuming you have nothing and you're as awful as they say you are.
