Small update, I didn’t finish 1.

Bookstore owners everywhere wondering why sales of "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" have suddenly skyrocketed...

it's so bitter to watch how many people are only now realising that the censorship of "morally bad" things will never stop at just the things they personally find repulsive. the problem with morals is that they're not a fixed norm that everyone agrees on and that they're a very easy argument to be used by bigots against marginalised groups. that's why it's dangerous to call for censorship on moral grounds - whose morals exactly?

There is a candidate named Tiffany G. in the current Ao3 board elections with a pro-censorship position for getting Ao3 unbanned in China. This is ship and kink agnostic: the only way to get Ao3 unbanned in China would be the removal of all explicit queer content to bring it in line with the online censorship policies of the CCP Pre-ban, Chinese writers used Ao3 to host LGBTQ+ and explicit content due to being censored on Chinese websites, and writers of danmei (m/m) stories have been sent to prison in China for publishing queer content.

anyways if you’re as upset about the first kill cancellation as i am, here’s a list of sapphic books and books featuring queer girls to check out! for those i haven’t read, i’ve heard they’re worth reading, so please check out any of the books on this list!!

I think this is a controversial opinion but the reason throne of glass is so underrated are the first two books and well … the fact that it’s sjm’s first series and it shows in her writing at the beginning. but everything else about this series, especially starting with hof, is just outstanding. plot, pace, characters, character dynamics, lore, humour, sadness, tragedy. it’s so good and I will never stop declaring this as her best work despite disliking the beginning of the series. also no other ship, imo, reaches what rowaelin have. with them, you really get the feeling that it makes sense, that it’s meant to be.
