ooh good question!

i think it maybe is when kristen first asked lydia about her whole situation and after lydia’s response just said “i give her the help action”. it was such a tiny little thing that shows the absolute care that is had for npcs in this world.

How many books did you read this year?

I'm up to 43! Though I am counting a few picture books that I read with the intent of getting them for my baby nephew lmao

2. Did you reread anything? What?

Yes! Normally, I'm not a huge rereader (there's not enough time for the new things I want to read as is) but I actually reread a few this year! Early in the year I reread A Wrinkle in Time for like, probably the fourth or fifth time in my life but the first time since high school. My beloved. Then I reread the first two Murderbot books after via listening to the audiobooks with my wife after we watched the TV show. <3 Also, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs because idk if you remember but the art slaps

3. What were your top five books this year?

Not sure if this is 100% in order but I think my favorite/most year-defining ones were:

Paradise Logic by Sophie Kemp

My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix

The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar

Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green

Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

thank you!! i think its just a fun universe to design for. you can get pretty wild and still be canon-compliant and tbh I think people could do with getting even crazier with their ocs!! it also kind of reawakened my oc making energy (i feel like i was embarrassed about making fandom ocs for a long time?? for some reason? now im all over it... family headcanons, ship fan kids, pro heroes, students, my own fan class lmao I've slightly overdone it
