The reluctant wife club: Figarland edition

Thank you Gav for writing ALOR I love it so much!!

The story is really ramping up with the tension and slow sinister simmering toxic romance. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - if you haven’t read it, I cannot recommend enough to give it a try. Garling is still the absolute worst, but damn if the writing and presentation is not deliciously compelling. Absolute masterclass IMO.

" The Weedy Scorpionfish is a master of disguise, blending perfectly into its surroundings. 🐠🌿 It’s also venomous and might yawn when a camera gets too close—possibly to intimidate or communicate! Master of Disguise 🥷 This fish is a camouflage expert, blending seamlessly into seaweed and algae. Its fleshy tentacles and irregular body shape make it nearly invisible in its natural habitat, which ranges from South Africa to the Coral Triangle. 🪸 Unique Movement 🦶 The Weedy Scorpionfish doesn’t swim like other fish. It lacks a swim bladder, so it crawls along the seafloor using its pectoral and pelvic fins, only swimming when necessary. 🌊🐾 This adds to its eerie appearance as it moves through the reefs. Venomous Predator 🕷️ As part of the scorpionfish family, this species is highly venomous. Sharp dorsal spines deliver its venom, making it a dangerous predator that hunts at night. 🌑🦐 It ambushes prey with a quick gape and suck motion—better to admire from afar! Mating Behavior 🤔 During mating, males perform an elaborate dance to attract females. 💃 After this, both the eggs and sperm are released into the water column, where fertilization occurs."
