was that I had my heart dead set on a rampant mess of a climax but everything hashed out pretty reasonably and sedately, which wasn’t exactly my jam but wasn’t a bad time for what it was. Made me very excited to read A Marvellous Light, which I understand was written later! (2/2)
I’ve been reminded that bluesky exists so I’m here to finally report on Swordcrossed (Freya Marske) for the 🌶️📚💙 crowd.
It was fun! I had fun!! It was sweet and sexy and I enjoyed hanging out w everyone in it enough to forgive some philosophically nonsensical underpinnings. Problem w the end (1/2)
this is a public callout for the suffering you’ve caused and by suffering I mean cliffhanger
Cool cool cool this is fine we didn’t need a friendship anyway
“I’m a murderbot, I don’t give a crap about boats”
I would die for Murderbot 💙📚🪐
Update I took a lunch break and closed my door and I’m OBSESSED. The tone is impeccable. The vibes are exact. (It has been pointed out to me that it is in fact precisely my brand of energy and I’m being predictable by losing my mind.) (What can I say I have good taste.) I’m SO excited #murderbot
(Could fit this in between MB trailer rewatched tho 👀)
It’s OK you’re safe bc I watched the trailer and discovered that I will have to watch it twelve more times tonight, it’s ART
Is this a trick question that relies on the expectation that I’ll be tied up with watching a trailer that I’m about to give in and close my door to watch on my lunch break? Bc if so you played yourself and now have to develop a oneshot for me
Tragedy of my life that I cannot watch this until I get home today
Pinning this as a reminder to self to think about it once May hits and the show starts airing. @Apple+: do not mess this up for me
“Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?” babe is the heartless killing machine in the room with us #murderbot 💙📚🪐
SecUnit resting its head against the wall. Probably because one of its humans brought up its feelings or tried to hug it.
I cannot explain how happy this photo makes me.
I’ve heard this take a lot, and have developed the opinion on this book that if you read it framed as long-form poetry it’s a joy vs if you read it as narrative prose (as it’s marketed! So hard to avoid!) it’s frustrating. It totally prioritizes vibes over sense
It’s gonna be SO GOOD if it’s good!!!
Concept: bait & switch where we all pull up the first episode of this show and what plays is a soap opera called The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon that exactly matches what we’d expect except for the unremarked upon addition of a heroic SecUnit. None of the creative team acknowledge this
Murderbot the TV Show’s one job is to be a tv show that Murderbot the character wishes it could watch 💙📚🪐
I absolutely had this experience, you’re not alone
Murderbot my beloved please. I do not have the emotional fortitude to relate to you tonight. And yet 🪐📚💙
Willing to try anything! Thanks for the rec!!
*Murderbot. Why is it murderbot specifically always gets me so enthusiastic I stop being able to spellcheck
in other news: MURDEBOT! MURDERBOT! MURDERBOT! (i’m gonna read the rest of murderbot) 📚💙🪐
I have ruminated on my prev post and found myself willing to broaden out to any book that ends in a disastrous wedding. #booksky 💙📚 (& 💙📚🌶️ & 💙📚🪐 etc): ruined wedding finales? Taking recs to scratch an itch.
Why is this so hard to find? Is this the right place to ask? Should I be poking reddit with a stick. Desperate reader seeks answers
help #booksky 💙📚🪐📚🌶️💙 I’m iso satisfying romance novel that starts with promise of a marriage that shouldn’t happen (between characters who are not and never will be romantic leads) and ends with a messy emotionally fraught trainwreck wedding that is utterly RUINED. Preferably queer and fantasy
DS9 baseball episode, soothe my soul, heal my wounds, ease my fears, restore my love, amen
I’m genuinely obsessed w the compare/contrast between Janeway&Tuvok’s relationship and Chakotay&B’Elanna Torres’s. Like we’re all ride or die here but in extremely different flavors

Or, well. They’re emotionally bad. Which is acceptable under the circumstances
This is incredible tho???
