Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Today's Top 5 Tuesday is JUICY. I LOVE trashing ships. It's one of my favorite pastimes. I hate some very popular ships. I think this is due in large part to: a dearth of inspiring mainstream queer ships lower standards for male love interests I would have given an example of that second one, but… Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday: Couples I Don’t Think Stayed Together
I didn't realize there were Halloween songs. At least, aside from the obvious. Diana @ Fortunately, the book did this fun tag and even used Halloween-colored font. I have to do all these spooky tags while I can. Thriller: A book that was an absolute page-turner Temper made me gasp dramatically. THE TENSION. I don't NEED… Continue reading The Halloween Song Book Tag
I have been looking forward to Carry On's sequel Wayward Son for almost a year. I preordered the book in February, desperate to ensure that I got my copy ASAP. I followed every single update for moooooonths leading up to the release. My copy arrived yesterday afternoon. I drew a bath, lit my Scorpio candle, and vowed to… Continue reading BOOK BETRAYAL: I DNFed Wayward Son…and I am not okay
I joked about doing a Lana Del Rey recommendations tag. Insteaaaaad... ...I FOUND A HALSEY BOOK TAG! I've had a crush on Halsey since she dropped Badlands in 2015. She also serves as my hair inspiration (sorry, Nicholas Petricca.) Am I gushing? I'm really stoked about this tag. Castle Favorite queen DC Bombshells is already the… Continue reading Halsey Book Tag
To the anonymous reader who typed "fruits basket ship or rip" into search terms to find my blog: what a GENIUS idea. Do you mind if I use it? Because I would LOVE to produce that type of quality content. Ground Rules I limited this round to characters I felt comfortable shipping (i.e., NOT THE… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Fruits Basket Edition
One thing I love about the blogosphere: the amount of creativity and number of shared interests in the community mean I don't have to make my own book tags. Case in point, Madame Writer created a Jane Austen Character book tag. And just in time - playing multiple rounds of Marrying Mr. Darcy every weekend put me… Continue reading Jane Austen Character Book Tag
In 2012, I came across a drawing of the Sailor Senshi with their season 1 nemeses the Shittenou. I didn't think much of it. I considered it author art. If I were a mangaka, I would draw speculative crack ships ALL the TIME. Then, through rumor and conjecture, I learned this drawing referenced a scrapped… Continue reading How to Ship the Sailor Senshi
For round 12, I picked Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries and Princess Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender Background Mia started as an awkward nobody with bad hair until her father revealed their royal lineage. Now she's an awkward somebody with slightly better hair and control over a small European principality. Azula, the Fire Lord's… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 12
For round 10, I picked Kyo Sohma from Fruits Basket and Mark Cohen from RENT Background Kyo Sohma can turn into a cat. That's kind of his thing. If involuntarily turning into an adorable animal isn't embarrassing enough, he's an outcast in his own family, forced to spend the remainder of his life in a locked… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 10
For round 9, I picked Ryan from You Know Me Well and Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey Background How do you know Ryan is a serious artist? He writes SLAM POETRY and works on a LITERARY JOURNAL, two things that would make him cool if he wasn't such a terrible friend. Ryan pretends his "friends with benefits"… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 9
