I used a reference from AOT where Eren was saying “Until all lives existing there… have been exterminated from this world.” Totally different scenarios but I just wanna draw Tai as that, it seems fitting.

Confession:

I just want to say how much I love the ambient music in TTS. It is an indescribable feeling, like you’re diving into a magical world. And I also adore the names of the outfits in the wardrobe, they have such a herbal, mystical vibe. (And the designs, amazing).

This is not to defend male authors btw, everyone except jester (I HATE that he always adds a small sexually coercive scene at the start of all his books tho) write MCs that are supposed to be smart but are actually dumb, which is a form of misogyny that makes my blood boil so fucking bad.

But....yeah, RC books make it so difficult to identify what's written by a woman and what's written by a man, cuz I read scenes that disgust me, make me feel uncomfortable, and fast forward, and I go "THAT'S WRITTEN BY A MAN" and then I see the author and it's a woman named alexandra, sasha, or some shit.

The fact that THREE not one, THREE female authors worked together to write a story where each of their MCs are constantly getting tortured and abused is genuinely so so so so disappointing. Not one of them said "heyy, listen, the majority of our readers are girls and women, so how about we tone it down a little bit? you know... let's not trigger them".
