lrb iris' most natural instinct is to deflect her second most natural instinct is to shut the fuck up and her third most natural instinct is to start a fight instead. fortunately she is bad at all these things

a thing i really love and demand everyone to emphasize all the time is when characters with Powers have wacky little side effects because of it. iris cannot donate blood bc her blood might caustically eat through the needle. also crows are constantly bringing her little treats and she's really embarrassed about it. henry keeps a bunch of instant coffee on him because he can boil a mug of water by just holding it between his hands. tower cannot sweat or be made to sweat. i forgot that iris also used necromancy to win at beer pong. ath can text with her mind. there's a version of seal who can see in darkness with his eyes closed, though he doesn't realize that what he's actually doing is using the darkness itself to feel everything it touches. later he will use this to rescue an orphan but right now he mostly uses it to sneak around his roommate at night

thinking about how you pitch books to like The Publishing Industry by calling it book 1 x book 2, like harry potter x hunger games or whatever, and absolutely laughing my ass off at any possible combination for tsiy. raven cycle x jenna moran’s glitch. untamed x the bell jar. naruto x avi cantor has six months to live

tsiy drive me insane bc i feel like a chinese reader and a western reader are reading completely different books. the fact that the jang sect is like four students betraying their teachers in a row. are you fucking listening to me

hey i was rereading tsiy act 1 to check something and it was like pretty good. what the fuck

today i am thinking about this one poem in chuci that i was told was a poem for the dead, but which i just learned is more likely about a poet who was in such despair he thought he would die, and it is about calling to a ghost that has left the body and naming all their favorite foods and begging them to come back because the world is so dangerous, and i am combining this with a ritual tradition i read about where you could not bury the body for several days in case the ghost came back and you had to sing this sort of thing from the rooftops, and i am

someday. when tsiy gets big. some fucking joker is going to do characters as tarot cards and theyre going to try and put iris on the magician. and i will rise from the depths like the kraken to fucking attack
