I'm wrapping up reading the Witch King by Martha Wells and thought I'd do a thread review. The basic summary of the Witch King is that it follows Kai, a demon possessing a human body, through a complex political world to find out who imprisoned him for a year and his wife's wife, who is missing

"How do I know him? Oh, AI in surgery reattached my arm to his body. We laugh about it now. I was in the hospital for appendicitis, but someone else got that op."

Some rando: Why don't you have any tattoos? Me: I don't have a body :) see ya *disappears*

I'm glad the twins like Dogman

I'm trying to write a short story of a character from my novel before he becomes immortal. It's really fun. He's this stone lesbian slut that everyone hates. Everytime I write 'she' for his pronoun I am misgendering him. The poor bastard. Tsk tsk

Not me finally watching Babylon 5

I was reminded today that 2026 is the year no one is ever born again and no one ever dies again in Football 17776

"X-CROSS is completely bonkers. It’s girly-pop, over-the-top folk horror that ends with an Aly & AJ needle drop." Reports of her writerly demise were greatly exaggerated: we've got @theworstnun.bsky.social on the site today talking about her favorite retro survival horror wannabe.

Earthworm smells like compost with fresh leaves, a bit apple-y. It doesn't last very long. I got thunderstorm too and that one smells like petrichor! And clean streets and dirt.

Have spure of the moment applied for a MFA program. 🤭

The Renee Good murder is putting me in an anxiety spiral so I'm taking an internet break

So many things are bad right now, but I interviewed @maggietokudahall.bsky.social about painting pigeons and small acts of survival. 📸 by @estefancy.bsky.social

Final thoughts on Outlander then I'll shut up. It's a women's power fantasy. Jamie is a painslut talking about how abused he is all the time and the ending where he is assaulted so badly by a man so that Claire can cuddle him and put him in a psychedelic hallucination to sexually heal him. Yup.

Oh good finally

A couple of weeks ago, I commented how, I came to regret all the judgement and advice I gave to folks who had kids before I had my own. Even if you're right... just be mindful. "Just talk to them" is always easier said than done. 😅

I really tried to write a blog post for new years but something terrible is happening to my dashboard on wordpress. I think I will have to find a new way to host my blog in 2026. But to summarize

Can I finish Outlander before Jan 1????? 400 pages left!

Strangely, I'm excited about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey

still my favorite christmas post

I'm gonna read Dan Simmons Hyperion now, buh bye *skips off*

I churned through Hazards of Time Travel by Joyce Carol Oates as a brief getaway from Outlander and WOOF. So depressing. Nothing like reading a book about an intelligent young woman being traumatized and brain damaged into controlled patriarchal submission. Seriously nothing like it

Clean girl aesthetic is fascist. There I said it

I'm going to continue reading outlander with the framework that she has to escape the past because she's escaping not only a madman but also her husband.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-based Violence. This day marks the importance of raising awareness for victims of violence and advocating for the right for women and girls to live free from harm.

The evil Captain Dragoon Randall is GAYGYY. *Deep depressed sigh*

Ugh there was a spanking scene in Outlander and it was so critically unsexy, I might not be able to read further.

More heroes should be fucked up sex freaks and more villains should be withered cowardus prudes

Something truly deranged happened in Outlander finally so I'm satisfied

Guess I'll be watching Before Sunrise for the first time

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

Outlander 350 pages in: they are just having sex a lot. It's not very exciting. Claire saw the loch ness monster. That was a highlight.

I watched Sinners (2025) on the plane. I've heard a lot about it and it met my expectations. I found it pretty depressing but a fun genre bender. Would watch again

new short story coming this winter 🖤 heavy on the leather

Man Mickey17. What the fuck even was that?! I enjoy the movies I've seen by bong Joon ho but uuuuhhhhhhh that movie was chaos.

250 pages in and I'm at the shotgun wedding of the protag with Jamie, the love interest. This book is so surprising to me! It's not even sold as a romance, so that was my bad, I legit thought I'd be shitting on it this whole time. Instead I'm having a lot of fun.

Outlander, 200 pages, so the broody leader guy has made a big rapey pass at our protag. I'm redeemed!!! Mwahaha. I wonder if him being into the protag will make the love interest care about her (probably). Another bleh romance trope. Let's see if I'm surprised

Outlander, 100 pages in, I'm having a lot of fun with it. Something about romance writing is just candy. At this point she's back in 1700s Scotland and has adopted a young good natured scot who is injured because she's a war nurse. She's also been threatened with assault a few times.

I've decided to read Outlander next, which will be my first romance novel in over 15 years. It's 800 pages and I'm on 13. I don't know if I can do this. The writing isn't horrible and the protagonist seems intelligent (a win) but the Scottish voices are written phonetically. How many "ye"s??
