happy new year! bit weird but I look forward to seeing that big book recap you do every year and just wanted to ask if you were gonna post your 2024 reads?
I'm going to be insane and just do short recaps of each and I will put little star emojis next to the best ones because I'm normal. Technically I read more than these but I'm too lazy to edit them into one photo so this is what you get. I also got really into short stories and longreads but we're not adding those so...
SIX CRIMSON CRANES: Amazing cover. That's all I have to say on that!
⭐⭐⭐ NETTLE AND BONE: BOOK! OF! THE! YEAR! If you love weird women and you love them going on quests and you love them hanging out with other weird women and bone dogs and one (1) hot viking, this is your book. Exquisite. I will read anything this author writes.
CONFESSIONS: No humans on earth would act like this at any point. It felt like a philosophical problem. What if the world was made of pudding. What if students made a contraption that murdered their teacher's daughter by accident, but not really. What if you drank milk with aids blood in it.
THE TENDER BAR: My mom's friends made me read this.
⭐⭐ WEYWARD: Again, I do just love weird witchy women doing weird, witchy things. I remember it fondly.
A CURSE FOR TRUE LOVE: I read this series to punish myself. I don't remember what for, but I do remember the punishment.
FLUKE: My mom told me to read this.
FOURTH WING: Zan made us read this to punish ourselves.
PACIFIC: I remember literally nothing. Men will write anything and call it science.
THE DEER AND THE DRAGON: Something is deeply wrong with this author, of the sort I usually only see on tumblr bios.
THE PRISONER'S THRONE: I love you Holly Black. Did I love this, though? It was fine.
UNDERLAND: Again, men will just write about anything and pretend they've done science.
⭐ ZEALOT: Cool! Cocks out for Jesus or something. I don't know.
NEON GODS: I forget why Zan and I read this but it was a punishment. Maybe the worst thing I read this year, and that's saying something.
⭐ PATHOGENESIS: Realizing I had this mixed up with Fluke. I liked it!
⭐ THE STOLEN HEIR: I signed a blood oath when I was 14 to read anything Holly Black wrote. I stand here, still, bound. It was actually pretty good. I love a book heroine who is actually like an ugly mean dead shark in semi-human form but who still bags that fairy prince.
⭐⭐⭐ COBALT RED: Why do I feel like this was on last year's list? Must read, truly. My niche thing (is this niche?) is that I am obsessive over current events in mostly Sub-Saharan Africa. Books on literally any African country, especially re: current events, are insanely few and far between. This is rigorously researched, important in the way few books are, deeply intelligent, and incisive. I would call it required reading for anyone who is ready to parrot "Free the Congo!" in their twitter bio while crowing about their new iphone and yeah I will be mean about it. I'm not saying to not get the iphone, but lets at least understand what goes into it. I think people need to understand resource extraction and the economy of that and the necessity of it and more, the pathological avoidance of law and regulation inherent to that process--which is apparent anywhere it is present. It has also fundamentally shaped literally every corner of the earth where humans are present and will continue to do so for the remainder of human history. Look up the size of the trucks used in gold mining (two humans can fit inside one wheel hub, standing up, on top of each other). Look up pit mines. Look up California during the gold rush. Geology gets by under the radar because people are like "oh, rocks, cool" and it's a great way to get people to have 0 understanding of what is the fundamental driver of most economies to this day. Do you know what the USA's number one export has been since 2008? You should look it up for funsies. Anyway!
send me a number and i’ll make you a gifset!

throwback to winner from exactly 2 years ago spending an entire hour decorating their christmas tree only to have seunghoon knock it down a few seconds before the broadcast ended,,,,, #neverforget
It’s really hurt. That precious bond had transformed into something like that. Keith and Shiro practically don’t speak in the whole season. Shiro found “happiness” with some random gay. Not with the paladins. Not with Kieth. Shiro left the battlefield. And Keith ended up uhh. He is meant to fly. To explore. Not do all that stuff. All I need right now is fiction where things are much more better.
I love VLD 7. Really? it’s not that bad, as many thinks. S7 had some very good moments. But. The saddest moment (for me) when all Paladins summoned their lions. Four of them come to Earth. Bur, not Red. She was just sitting there. And waiting. For her boy, her true Paladin. for Keith.
I know, that after S7 we had Voltron and Earth robot for Shiro. Each in the team has his own ship. And S8 will be the last season and etc. But I really want to see Keith and Red flying together again. Keith is a great leader, no doubt. But I miss he and Red interaction. She is fast and on fire. So is Keith.
I want at least one more fly. No more.

Next Grand Prix Final / part 1 / part 2 /
Otabek just started a war.
Next Grand Prix Final.
Yurio gets jealous of a fangirl who wants to take a picture with Otabek and erm…he forgets that they didn’t kiss before.
Otabek still shy ♥
From this picture. We can observe a few things.
-This place is pretty local. We see Yuuri and Victor carrying fresh groceries (which literally imply once again, they probably live together lol). If this place was not local, I doubt Viktuuri would be shopping for gorceries there.
-Yuri is definitely DRESSED UP from his usual street fashion of tacky leopard print or tiger stripes. Similarly, Otabek, my boy, my light, is wearing such an elegant and cute sweater. Both of these boys EVIDENTLY made an effort in looking more formal than they usually do. And in the context of this situation, they definitely cared a lot about this date in order to change their usual style.
-THEY WERE SHARING MUSIC??? MY SKIN IS CLEAR??? MY LIFE IS COMPLETE??? They were probably super into it because they both look super interrupted and surprised at Viktuuri’s intrusion.
-OK LEMME POINT out how fUCKING PROUD BOTH YURI’S PARENTS LOOK? Yuuri looks so happy and looks as if is wishing Yuri a happy time while Viktor is just “man, my son is growing up and finally not that much of an angsty edgelord.”
-THEIR OUTFITS MATCH. THEIR OUTFITS MATCH. THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER I’M CRYING. ARE WE CANON. WE’RE CANON RIGHT. AHHHH. WHAT IS THIS BLESSING IM CRYING IM LAUGHING I REALLY CANT GET OVER THIS.
Naruto sees a lunch from Hinata, and automatically longingly thinks about the time when Sasuke risked his future to give him his. Something supposed to be romantic, he thinks about Sasuke. Alrighty
Naruto calls him good looking lmao
Lol there was no reason to include this shit but Kishi did it anyways
It’s shown that Naruto was ready to ditch his family to join Sasuke on his travels
when sasuke rejects his offer, naruto is shown to be sad about it
naruto even defends him even tho it’s over something rly stupid
“so give him a break” i love it
Naruto is happy whenever he talks/thinks about Sasuke, but only frowns when it’s regarding his family
about Sasuke:
about his “family” LOL:
Naruto:Sasukeeee!I love you!!
Sasuke:..Hn
Naruto:That's it!As always...Sasuke c'mon say something more!
Sasuke:..Dobe
Naruto:...ok,nevermind.
Naruto:*leaves*
Sasuke:*thinks*Maybe I should really tell him how I feel..
*later in Naruto apartment*
Sasuke:Naruto..uh,I want to tell you something.
Naruto:What?
Sasuke:...You know how much you mean to me.I'm not saying this every day like you do,but I'm sure you know that because we know each other so well...and you understand me like no one else...I love you so much,Naruto.I can't find the words that could express my feelings.
Naruto:...
Sasuke:...Naruto?
Naruto:...Hn
Sasuke:*angry*HOW DARE YOU??!!You know how hard it is for me to talk about feelings,and you're mocking me now??!
Sasuke:*goes out and slams the door*
Naruto:*from the window*NOW YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL EVERY TIME!!
Naruto:...omg.I crossed the line.Sasuke...
Naruro:*comes out*SASUKEE!!WAIT I'M SORRY!I LOVE YOU!!COME BACK!
naruto: sasuke really pisses me off
kiba: yeah, he's the worst
naruto: I hate his hair
kiba: it looks like a duck's ass
naruto: and his stupid sexy smirk
kiba: I know- wait, what?
naruto: plus his butt is, like, ridiculously perfect, what the hell is up with that
kiba: um, naruto
naruto: also he has the most beautiful face I've ever seen, he kind of looks like a girl
kiba: ...
naruto: of course, if he was a girl, he'd be so cute I'd probably fall in love with him or something, which sucks
kiba: dude, hate to break it to you, but I think you're in love with him now
naruto: shut up kiba that's not funny
kiba: I wasn't kidding
naruto: ...
naruto: please don't tell sakura
When I first started watching Naruto, I remember being so confused as to why everything Naruto said got to Sasuke so bad. Like, Sasuke was this cool kid that had his shit together from a really young age, he was smart, he was pretty and he didn’t give a shit what people thought of him…and yet, Naruto could get under his skin so easily.
Then the Land of Waves arch happened.
And I was like oh. Ooooh.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
So, shortly before Naruto is reunited with Sasuke, Orochimaru messes with him by “taunting” him about Sasuke.
Naturally, it works.
What I don’t see talked about as much is shortly after this, when Sai talks to Sasuke. Sasuke tries to play it cool at first but after Sai says he’ll probably get along with him better than Naruto, Sasuke actually puts him in a genjutsu.
That seems pretty severe for him to do if he’s really not bothered by the thought of Naruto, after all the time that had passed. Orochimaru was onto him, though. Sai hadn’t really talked about anything but Naruto yet Orochimaru accused him of “teasing” Sasuke. Perhaps he knows from experience??
Orochimaru is a lot of things but he’s not a fool and it was obvious that the mention of Naruto is what set Sasuke off.
All I’m saying is Naruto’s name could be used to provoke Sasuke the same way Sasuke’s name provoked Naruto. Even after two and a half years of no contact, his feelings were still that strong. Sasuke “I guess I do remember someone like that” Uchiha never got Naruto out of his mind, ever.
SS fan: KishImoTo SaMA said that Sakura fills Sasuke's loneliness with love! OmG
Kishimoto: Sakura's love is selfish.
He again: (boruto) is the "bolt" that holds together naruto and hinata marriage.
Kishi: Sakura's love is like a drug.
-moto: I don't know if Sasuke is happy with their marriage. Maybe they'll have a divorce.
Kishimoto: I planned NH since the beginning.
Also Kishimoto: it was planned in the middle.
Kishimoto again: The Last was Pierrot idea, I didn't have any love for that pairing (NH). I didn't planned to make it.
Kishimoto: My wife was angry at me for the ending.
...
*Kishimoto draws Sasuke tryng to kill his own daughter, rejecting his wife's kiss and leaving them for again after 12 years*
*also kishimoto, draws Sasuke crying with Naruto and talking about how warm Naruto makes him feel and how he is his weakness, first bond and one and only best friend.*
SS/NH fans: Haha we can ignore that.
Me: ...
Naruto: Sasuke makes me so mad. I just want to, like, beat him up.
Kakashi: Hmm.
Naruto: And smash his stupid smirking lips really hard with my mouth.
Kakashi: You've just described a kiss.
Naruto: *not paying attention* Maybe rip his pants off and spank him. He deserves to be spanked. Arrogant jerk.
Kakashi: I think you mean 'naughty boy.'
Naruto: And when he's moaning my name like a the weak little bastard he is, I'll- I'll, um... Like...
Kakashi: Flip him over and make sweet, tender love to him?
Naruto: Sensei, what the fuck.
Kakashi: Forget it. I'll just stick to my books.
