#faeguardians

Also I appreciate that she’s being a good sport about this. Even though she’s really leaning into the unhinged parts here. She would apparently also appreciate us using the tag #faeguardians.

I mean they are trending, but it’s not— well.

Are you SURE you’re not on Tumblr dude #jugglinglabforsexyman

She’s an INFLUENCER. NO.

You know it doesn’t seem very eco warrior to me to carve a tree trunk up. But what do I know about the 2000 year plastic vs magic apocalypse.

THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS!! i genuinely can’t wait until the book gets here. my thoughts:

immediately i am so glad she isn’t taking this as a mockery. my own intention has never been to insult her work, and in general the tone around this book that i’ve seen on here has, while starting off similar, taken a sharp turn from the common booktok mockery tone into like a gentler teasing curiosity. the way that crow boy is popular on tumblr right now is also exciting to me because i really admire how self-published romance and erotica have been taking off lately — there’s a booktok table at barnes & noble! ice planet barbarians was picked up by random house after going viral! a lot of discussion of this subgenre is caught up in misogyny (how could someone write something like this? are women seriously reading this shit? the usual suspects re: romance/erotica panics) and don’t acknowledge how brilliant these writers are on a business and marketing level. that got off track; what i mean to say is that i’m excited for her! the fae guardians saga, to which the company of vengeful crows belongs, is currently ten books long. virality on another platform is GREAT news.

i did a bit of research before ordering tcovc, so i knew some of this going in, but i’ve been steadfastly avoiding posts by people also reading the book, so some of this is totally new to me. the fae reclamation of the world post-nuclear apocalypse, for example, is COMPLETELY new to me, as is our leading lady being “a human from our time who froze during a nuclear winter and thawed two thousand years later.” immediately obsessed.

she’s funny for this. keep them in suspense.

“this magic refuses to flow where plastic and metal exist.” ECOFANTASY LET’S GO!

“bromance gone wrong” is a phrase i will be turning over in my head for some time. i’m not hearing a firm no in regards to crow boy slash fiction.

DIALECT BASED MISCOMMUNICATION PLAYING OFF PRE-ESTABLISHED ROMANTASY TROPES IS REALLY GOOD.

i love that the asshole ex was a pro footballer with a mullet. i know this is australian football, but in a post-travis kelce world, writing an athlete into a romance novel as the asshole ex is a radical act.

confirmation that the crow boys would “burn that shit down” if let loose in a shein/temu/amazon warehouse. again: not the most environmentally efficient way to go about destroying plastic, but the energy is highly appreciated.

From author’s website

while tagging posts as dangerous crow boy is ok the author would like everyone to use #faeguardians tag as well. just to let people know about the series and it takes 2 seconds to add the extra tag.

also crow boys name is River and plastic girl is Blake.
