things I am going to post about: whatever I want.
but more specifically: Dimension 20, Animorphs, and Wayward Children. also Hatchetfield, to a lesser extent. I love Hadestown but I don't post about it often.
my blog is primarily reblogs but I'll occasionally reread Animorphs and go on a slightly incomprehensible posting spree. will always and forever be Adaine Abernant's #1 fan.
my Rachel (Animorphs) webweave is here, and the first and second drafts of my Marco (Animorphs) webweave are here and here. Cassie webweave is currently in progress.
my ao3 is here. am attempting to finish here comes a killer whale to sing you to sleep.

I have a largely incomprehensible (even to me) and perpetually in-development What If The Characters Of Fantasy High Went Through The Plot Of Animorphs, and my tag for it is #fh/animorphs lovechild from my brain. I cannot promise consistency in any posts because it is always changing. please send me asks about this.
things I have decided about this au:
literally just their battle morphs.
fabian is a lioness, riz gets permanently turned into a singapura cat, gorgug is a moose, adaine is a badger, fig is a coywolf, and kristen is kristen. kristen is an alien with a razor blade for a tail in this au.

okay. wayward children #12 comes out on january 12. my birthday is at the tail end of december. could i potentially be able to get my hands on it by asking for it as a birthday gift.
Me meeting a stranger at a party: yeah and that 14 year-old girl has to do neurosurgery on her alien friend because otherwise he's dead, it's not even the only thing they deal with at that moment either
i know you're only five books in but i do have to ask: what are your thoughts on wayward children?
okay okay okay. so. this is going to be quite long probably but just stay with me here.
i heard about this series because i was looking for spins on portal fantasies and the chosen one trope. subversion and the like. i fucking got it by the way. i am suuchhhhh a fan of trope subversion
SUMI!!!! i loved sumi from the MOMENT she entered the room in book 1. "hope is a knife that can cut through the foundations of the world" yessss. sumi you get it. you fucking get it
and her heroism quote from book ... five? was it? yeah five. because i used it in the webweave i made & then made the last line the title of my blog. i fucking love you sumi
after loriel's death (aghhh!!!! the door was waiting for her!!!! the webworld was there and loved her and then she died) i pulled up a separate document & began listing all the characters and potential body parts that the killer could come after them for
(i DID suspect that the killer was jill by the way. i guessed it was her not long after sumi's death and was incredibly happy when proven to be right. lmao.)
speaking of sumi's death!!! i somewhat saw it coming but was still really sad when it happened. no more sumi :((((
(and then book three came along and i was super fucking happy. but i'm trying to keep this in chronological order for the most part lmao!!)
the ending of book 1 is so incredibly important to me. jack and jill returning to the moors!!! nancy going back to the halls of the dead!!! jack stabbing jill is everything ever.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS!!!! THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE SO SO SO PRETTYYYYYY. i really really really love the illustrations.
literally everything about datsab. jack and jill. i have a lot to say about those two aughauhgaughjfghfghjfhggjghhhhhhghjghjj. down among the sticks and bones!!!!!!!!! aghghhhhh!!!!
book 3 !! book 3 was also very very good. i love literally anything that has to do with timeline fuckery and spins on the idea of destiny in general.
i think this was the book that christopher really started to grow on me. i think before, i was just a casual christopher enjoyer but now i do really like him. same with kade !!!! i love kade. ahghhhhhhh
before i read book 4 i was ... somewhat neutral on lundy? i think? intrigued by her but not enough to have Thoughts because her appearance in book 1 was very brief. died when she was 8 & entered the market when she was 8. anyway. i love herrrrrrr. and moon!!!! moon and the archivist!!! ack!!!!
i don't think i could pick a favourite book, but recency bias is telling me to go with come tumbling down. jack killing jill is just sooooooooo important to me. as are all the events of that book. a jack and jill plot + christopher and cora and kade and sumi. what is not to love there.
jack "the better monster" wolcott!!!!!!! jack The Better Monster wolcott. she is so . so . so. AUGHAHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE HER SO FUCKING MUCH !!!!!!!!!
in conclusion !!! i need to read books 6-11 this instant . wayward children is going to have a lasting impact on me. i already titled my blog & renamed my little ask button thing after it. lmao.

OH MY GOSH YOU'RE READING WAYWARD???? or like. you already read it? WOAHHHHHHH THAT'S SO COOL YOU HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS !!!! (/np lmao) i just finished book 5 :D
so i ended up Not Sleeping and just. reading All of Them. literally a few hours ago i finished bingeing the series because i am insane and if i get hooked on a series i Do Not Stop until i've read it all. like, i finished everything (except 4.5) and now i'm reading other seanan mcguire series in an attempt to replicate the feeling.
my thoughts: mostly incoherent screaming of joy which are going beneath the cut because they're mostly me listing off characters and what i love about them with excessive amounts of exclamation points and capital letters
jack and jill The Sisters Ever. i <3 fucked up sisters. they could have loved each other but they didn't!!! arahvjafkadgshsdihskjbhfgsk... look i just think sacrificing your happy ever after and your home and everything you love for someone you might not even really like outside of the bond of simply being sisters, and then not telling her you had the ability to go back the entire time you were exiled out of care for her is really fucking. Something. stabbing and reviving her.... they were both willing to kill to get home except that all they really needed was to kill each other. save me fucked up sisters. save me.
i understand jill farrrrrrrrr too much for comfort and also there's an alternate universe where fucking off to the moors made jack&jill unnervingly codependent and unhealthy in a different but also fucked way. they could've done it. she just wanted to love her sister! they just wanted to love each other!
also SUMI LIVES!!!!!!!!!! my girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jack is my favorite but sumi is The Best. she has a daughter with a candy corn farmer in confection and she comes back from the dead because she's made of Nonsense. sumi is the wisest one i think and also she's a sugar queen who is endlessly violent and also also i <3 the Baker she just wants to be left alone to make cookies. queen.
i think its really funny that kade and nancy is basically a canon relationship but they never once acknowledge it ever. like its established they mutually like each other and theyre pining and everything and then nancy fucks off to the halls of the dead for several books and the entire time kade is just thinking.... wow... i miss my ghost wife.... and also they've never once explicitly said out loud on page that they're into each other. funny to me.
oh! i also love nancy. my girl just wants to be a statue let her be a statue in peace damn it. the fic engine in my brain wants to write something from her parents POV, from her return to her disappearance, but also I Have So Many Other Projects. but also also nancy's parents pov of her leaving and coming back and leaving them again,,,,,,,,,
also funny to me is so much of the conflict of these books come from hair not being dyed. nancy 🤝 cora "i don't dye my hair It's Just Like This, fuck all of you".
the Drowned Girls!! nadya!! i can't spoil it but her book is So Good. i <3 nadya. i'm saying this for all the characters but it's true soooooo
i feel really bad for loriel though like that did get me her spider queen was waiting for her all along and then she FUCKING DIED and now she never gets to return to her spider kingdom... loriel you kinda fucking sucked but i do feel bad for you... her queen of dust was Waiting For Her!!!!!
oh also christopher! christopher is so fun. in love with a skeleton. routinely discusses things like Flesh and Muscle and Organs as gross and a turn-off. plays songs for skeletons on a flute made out of his own bones. plans to return to mariposa so he can get stabbed and skinned until he's just a skeleton. also his parents thinking the skeleton girl is a girl with anorexia who died... to be fair it makes more sense than Our Son Is In Love With A Literal Skeleton. but like. lmaooo
LUNDYYY!!! gah i love her katherine lundy has done no wrong in my eyes. that section of in an absent dream where she's increasingly switching between the goblin market and earth.... she ALSO has a sister she's fucked up about. diana lundy!!!!!!!! poor girl just wanted a sister and was also immediately deprived of having one because despite staying on earth lundy was basically doomed to never be able to live with her earthen family. I! Miss! Moon! i know the sadness is The Point but i'm just saying i think she should have been able to stay in the market with her best friend until the end of time. no spoilers but she just gets Better in #11. absolutely unparalleled. also she got murdered i kinda forgot but like.... lundy can do it all.
In Conclusion: Very Good Books that are Awesome and going to give me Brain Worms for the rest of my life.
AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?
AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a ghost and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?
I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you
I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products
Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive
the horror of being "god's favourite princess". literally one of my favourite horror themes. the god loves you and it's so scary.
it will always choose you. you cannot die. you'll always come back because it loves you so much. you are its right and left hand, its eternal weapon. it will drown you in its light. light as horror. darkness as horror. what if it thinks you are its best friend.
you are god's favourite princess and it's terrifying.

Hey so FYI, black fans shouldn’t have to hide/shy away from their fandoms. They shouldn’t have to feel ashamed to be black in fandom spaces. They shouldn’t have racist remarks / people downplaying racism thrown at them everywhere they go in a fandom. There should be more hype for black-ran indie shows and creations.
If you disagree, then maybe you should look into yourself and fix that.
the zendaya thing isnt even a new phenomenon by any means!! the article mentions margot robbie wearing the taj mahal diamond as well, and in addition to that i also want to remind people that diljit dosanjh's request to wear the patiala necklace for the 2025 met gala was denied by cartier because they said it was in a museum and could not be loaned. however they had no issues at all loaning it to emma chamberlain, a white woman, for the 2022 met gala, while they turned down the request of a punjabi man who wanted it to honor his heritage.
this behavior is nothing new. the global south and everything in it - the people, the culture, our heritage - is seen as nothing more than a decoration or commodity to colonizers. i don't even need to bring up the koh i noor or the entire british museum; these examples are recent and egregious enough on their own.
of course this is not to imply that any of the people involved here - zendaya, margot robbie, or emma chamberlain - had any sort of malicious intentions. but the ignorance is just as bad in my opinion. the ignorance is just as harmful, if not more. because it means we are not even an afterthought. it means that the real people and histories and heritages of the global south do not even register when these people are putting together looks for their movie premiers and met gala appearances. everything is just reduced down to a shiny piece of jewelry whose history they need not bother with. it's just a continued reminder of the way colonization affects us all even long after independence, of how barely-healed wounds keep being reopened even decades later. even now, we are being denied connections to our histories and heritages while they are freely being given out to those that have nothing to do with it and don't care for it. and i'm sick of it.
