Stop punishing us cause you read people who can’t write. 1114118
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 01/12/2025This feels like a case of the author contorting to make the close reading fit the argument, rather than an argument that actually stems from thoughtful close readings. Especially of the Milan. My god. 1240

Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Like I joke about 2026 being the year of canon Buddie, but even if it never goes canon, I’m not gonna stop shipping it? 90% of my ships don’t go canon, and that other 10% of the time was pretty much just Catradora. 020
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Like I just keep seeing “to all the XYZ shippers, it’s not gonna happen, you’re being delusional” posts and I’m like, since when was shipping dependent on that ship actually becoming canon? I would LIKE to see these characters together, regardless of what canon does. That’s why fanfiction exists. 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 01/12/2025I’m not sure when the rebuttal to people shipping something became “it will never be canon!!!” Okay? Even more reason for me to ship it, then? 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 29/11/2025Seconding. Fire Island is so good. Plus, as someone who loves Austen but is bored to death by P&P retellings, this one was both interesting and delightful. And you can definitely enjoy it without caring about Austen at all. 031

Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 16/11/2025And if you are liking something (a book, a movie, a tv show, a song, whatever), I’d personally love to hear about it 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I’m just tired of opening every form of social media and only seeing people talking about the art & movies & books & music they hate or think is stupid. You don’t have to like everything but I hope you’re liking SOMETHING. I know the attention economy runs on hating stuff but don’t you get tired? 120
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Not to be embarrassing but I do think we need to bring back positivity. Being a hater used to be a fun part-time hobby but now it feels like it’s all anyone knows how to do anymore. 120
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Anyway speaking of music the new Maisie Peters album is going to save my life whenever it comes out. The two songs she’s released so far are EVERYTHING. 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It’s still probably my least favorite Taylor Swift album though. Or at least bottom 3. Of course folklore through TTPD all make my Top 5 so it’s fair to say maybe this one just isn’t for me so much. 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Having now listened to the acoustic versions: I VASTLY prefer the acoustic Ruin the Friendship, and also like the acoustic Wi$h Li$t too. That one part at the end of Elizabeth Taylor is also incredible but otherwise I prefer the original. Acoustic TLOAS is also fun but not better than the original. 100

Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Though I’ve been enjoying the new season of 911 we are undeniably in a Buddie drought… but at least my favorite video editor is back making me cry youtu.be/nTjsfxD2AOU?...youtu.beadam's ribs — buddieYouTube video by abby 010
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 10/11/2025“Then they said she didn’t do it legitly” This getting a pass while Wood gets mocked for being silly goofy fun??? Wild. 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Ruin the Friendship is actually well written, and I think the twist makes it compelling, I just don’t really like how it sounds unfortunately 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 10/11/2025TLOAS would be higher if I didn’t think the first verse was some of the worst writing she’s ever done. Eldest Daughter would also be higher without the verses—I think the chorus is fine actually, but the verses don’t work. 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I think this is where my ranking is at: 1. Father Figure 2. Wood 3. Elizabeth Taylor 4. The Fate of Ophelia 5. Actually Romantic 6. The Life of a Showgirl 7. Opalite 8. Honey 9. Wish List 10. Cancelled 11. Eldest Daughter 12. Ruin the Friendship 1-5 are pretty solid, the rest I’m less certain of 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 08/11/2025No but I am for real going to do a ranking, they’re all genuinely great but I do have favorites 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Having now read every KJ Charles novel and novella over the past month, I am now working on my Definitive Ranking, except unfortunately I can’t put them all in first place????? 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Just had the thought that the Eddie episode will almost definitely not be about him finally coming out and will instead be about his abuela dying or some evil shit like that. Let this man not endure trauma for five whole minutes, PLEASE. 000
Reposted by Molly KeranClaire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · 05/11/2025I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses 41523375

Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Anyway Beenado and the plane landing were definitely a more fun opening arc overall but I am very much enjoying the fresh character roles & dynamics during this arc 010
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Also!!! I know some people were anti Cap Chimney (and I get it, I wanted Captain Hen too) but I am enjoying him very much and think this is genuinely really interesting character development for him 100
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025I am of course itching for some Buddie content but in the meantime, BuckRavi besties and BuckHarry brothers have been great. And Eddie looks hot and is doing paramedic things, so there’s that. 100
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025The stuff actually happening in space is more boring tbh but I love Karen and Maddie working together to save Hen and Athena. 100
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Catching up on 911 before the Eddie Diaz (who will be gay) centric episode later this week , and I once again have to say that May and Harry being regulars is so much fun. And I love May, Denny, and Mara running a makeshift shelter in the firehouse! 110
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025I don’t think the song is 100% about Blake, bc Selena, Sophie, and other celeb-friends of TS faced stupid backlashes over the past couple years, but there’s a 0% chance it has nothing to do with the Blake Lively drama of it all 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Also frankly I can’t get the way she sings “tone deaf and hot, let’s fucking off her” out of my head 100
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 04/11/2025“Cancelled” is not a good song, it’s probably one of the worst on the album, but it is objectively the funniest response she could’ve had to people thinking she was dumping Blake Lively over the defamation stuff and even speculating that “Ruin the Friendship” would be about that 100

Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 30/10/2025Also the audiobooks are so so soooo good if you can get your hands on them. My library had them and truly what a gift. 000
Molly Keran @mjkeran.bsky.social · 30/10/2025If you’re gonna take one recommendation from me, it should be this one. Slippery Creatures (and all the Will Darling books) is truly special. The setting, the characters, the plotting. Chef’s kiss. Will Darling is magnificent, Kim Secretan is life-changing. Read this!!! 100
