“Even though it was you who lied about who you were, you still don’t know who I am.” / “Thieves, soldiers, continental militia, they’re all the same…” - Sarah Livingston, TURN

“You’re a Tory…”

“And you’re a traitor.”

- TURN

If I could change one thing in TURN: Sarah Livingston wouldn’t die tragically and wouldn’t be utilized for Benjamin Tallmadge’s ‘man pain.’

💙 Your favourite queer book couple: everything is bisexual4bisexual if you are not a coward, preferably in many directions and contained by many descriptors or disregarding those mortal trifles, but... Ellaria Sand/Oberyn Martell (A Song of Ice and Fire books) < the only remotely 'aspirational in reality' couple here, Lestat/people who make him cry, especially women, and also Nicolas and Louis in a tie that will never be broken, and Rowan/Michael (The Lives of the Mayfair Witches).

💚 a swoon-worthy queer romance you couldn't put down: A Flame In the Night and Providence Girls by @ghostpoetics.

💛 a queer enemies-to-lovers romance you adored: Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (if you understand that subtext is still definitely text), and Bury Our Bones in The Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab.

🧡 a queer book with a stunning cover: The Witching Hour (1990 cover) by Anne Rice, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995 cover) by Gregory Maguire.

❤️ a queer book that stuck with you: The Vampire Lestat (1988), Frankenstein (1818), Fledgling (2005), Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995), la philosophie dans le Boudoir (1795), Juliette (1797), Disobedience (2006) by Naomi Alderman, unfortunately... The Picture of Dorian Gray (1892, uncensored).

💜 your go-to author for queer books: n/a, unless you mean well-known people, then Anne Rice/A.N. Roquelaure, Jewelle Gomez, Ursula K. le Guin, Octavia Butler, and Gregory Maguire.

🌈 recommend a queer book: Captive Prince.

favorite color: unironically so many shades of purple, blue and pink are here because I look good in them, the shade of green that is so green it's beyond emerald and also frequently associated with the characters who are thespians and/or antagonists, lavender, and also the shade of green in the genderqueer flag.

last song I listened to:

Currently Reading: The Witching Hour (1990) by Anne Rice <- reread, The Sadeian Woman by Angela Carter (1978) <- highlighting and note taking this time.

currently watching: so, I am not great at the tv show thing at least not the same way I read. Regurlarly recently, Versailles and TURN <- rewatch.

coffee or tea: all of the above, but tea is better.
