Dandy has decided that the boxes Spike’s food comes in are the perfect boxes. I have been informed that we will be tiling the apartment in them going forward.

“So, you have a relationship with this transport.” I was horrified. Humans are disgusting. “No!” Ratthi persisted, “You have a friendship.” I settled back in the corner and hugged my jacket. “No. Not—No.”

If there’s one thing I love in a fantasy book it’s when the characters all get a magical gift. Yessss illustrate their skills or passions or destiny with a cool little Chekov’s Whimsical Item yessss

Hot take: I’m tired of negative book reviews that just compare them to “what people made it out to be” or “the hype I saw.” Pals you gotta just take advertising with a grain of salt and make your own opinion. Was it a good story?? Was it a good book??

Have you ever fallen in love with a character, specifically because of the way a different character talked about them? It can happen to you too, if you read Long Live Evil by @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social 😌🫶 The way Marius talked about Eric... wow #longliveevil #allhailchaos #timeofiron

Painting of The Golden Cobra from the book series Time of Iron by Sarah Rees Brennan. He is a beautiful young black man, who is standing in a forest in the glow of sunshine, smiling joyfully at the viewer with eyes closed and fingers steepled. He has dark skin, his dark hair in in long dreads half pulled up in a bun, half down his back. He is wearing a lot of golden jewelry, including rings, bicep band shaped like a snake, earrings and golden beads in his hair. He is wearing a yellow tunic with green emboidered belt

Galga, a beautiful black man with black and white hair, is holding Atwert, a white man with long dark brown hair, tenderly in his arms. Galga is wearing cream sweater with golden trim, while Atwert is wearing dark green shirt. He is also wearing glasses with tassels. Theyre both wearing brown pants. Atwert is cradling a little owlcat in his arms between them, their bet, which is white with brown feathers. The background is the same dark green of Atwerts shirt

Holy shit, Elizabeth, in her deep anger, decides to read every single letter Jane has written her since she went off to recover from Bingley’s bungle. This has the righteous rage-fueled energy of all the sleuths who wanted to take down that lady for trying to copyright ABO fiction (complimentary!!!)

I must also retract my belief that Mrs Bennet should have a gun, a regrettable misreading of her character. I do, however, think it would be very funny if we gave Lydia a gun.

I am still in this interminable party where every character is the most distilled version of themselves for some reason, and all I can think to get through it is, “I know Darcy doesn’t wear glasses, but someone should give him the slutty little glasses. He feels slutty little glasses-coded.”

You can just draw a horse. You can draw a horse any time you want. And if you put a safety tip on there and share it, you've drawn a horse and done a public health. It's that simple. We can't draw a horse right now, but we can do the next best thing - mash stock photos together with passion.
