tired of wanting and waiting and willing things to happen. i need this anxious feeling in my chest to subside.
someday i will post this fic and then its all over for you fools. i mean not now. or any time soon. but someday it will happen
parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

okay the funniest book rec I've ever encountered is officially Lit Hub recommending Jamaica Kincaid's A Small Place for the "globe trotting" reader
yeah man you're gonna learn a ton about Antigua, namely that the locals fucking hate your tourist ass and the colonialist legacy that turns Caribbean islands into playgrounds for westerners. incredible work. this is either a brilliantly placed stealth insult or the work of someone who's never actually read the book. funny either way.

• fractured fairytale, and i love those
• HAD A MAP!!! 🩷
• lush descriptions of EVERYTHING, settings, appearances, foods, etc. totally ripe with sensory detail (sometimes gets to be a lot, but if you’re into that kind intense detail/worldbuilding it doesn’t bother)
• good good memorable characters, the villain is truly so evil it made my skin crawl, female protagonist was good - confused but not defenseless, male protagonist was more than just a hot guy, had his own thing going on (but also he was really hot)
• weird emphasis on how small the female protagonist is, which personally annoyed me
• little bit of a dubious age gap (17 x 20)
• good love story, big emphasis on being friends before lovers and both sides being equal in the relationship, got to be corny sometimes but overall very cute
• lots of exposition before the actual meat of the story, was a little tedious but was well written so i couldn’t complain too much
