I just finished Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay and it's a fantastic read if you like high fantasy. It's dense in the best possible way: characters who are confused by their own reactions, nuanced takes on love and trauma and tyranny. Dianora has my whole heart and I can't stop thinking about her Dive.

My fic "It Being Late..." pulls a lot from my life during that time period, including the part about SNAP. This scene has always been near and dear to me because I really had to navigate it with my then-bf.

A few more chapters along in my Bird & Bayonet re-read (#B&BReread looks like I'm terribly misspelling "bread") and I'm enjoying the early tension between Rey and Ren. I just wanna shout at her "YOU'RE GONNA KISS THOSE LIPS"

Ren (not to be confused with Kylo) is such an asshole, I love him

Ch. 1 Review: I still like this intro! There are definitely some loose ends I'll need to tidy away once everything's over (Maz, Rey's motivation for being in the army), but I like the vibes of this whole first encounter.

I wrote this intro in 2020 and 5 years later Kylo has only touched Rey's butt 🙃

The Challenge: Re-read Bird and Bayonet with me so I don't get bored re-reading 150k words I wrote.
The Reward: Chapter 21 finally finished(?)

Published #Reylo rec: Sarah Hawley's romantasy series! Servant of Earth was a great 2024 read: ACOTAR/Cruel Prince vibes without being a retread & with a focus on fae society, all with a bangin' cover. Also don't think I didn't immediately clock the broody dark-haired dark magic guy as endgame.

I just remembered the Reylo Thirst Bracket I ran during the early pandemic, and it's funny to see how many iconic movies/photoshoots/press junkets Adam HADN'T done yet. But these are my favorites from each category (Onscreen, Suit & Tie, Photoshoots, Candids)

So difficult to choose one since there are so many sub-genres, but this one's already on my phone and captures the bf appeal

YEP not even a contest really. And I'm so glad you know it too! I rewatched it in the past few years and tbh I still loved it.

I kind of wish people would rediscover The Mask of Zorro (1998) because it has the same action romance energy of The Mummy and I truly struggle to say if Antonio B or Catherine ZJ is hotter.
(It's her. Definitely her. Antonio gets a glow up but that sword fight in her night gown? Whoo boy.)

Can we take a moment to appreciate the poetic cinema of Rey saying you'll turn and Ben saying no YOU'LL turn and both visions coming true when they fought back to back 🥲

For anyone with a K*ndle looking for really well written fantasy romance, Jemisin's Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is 1.99 right now. Yeine is a warrior queen unexpectedly thrown into a political battle between her murderous relatives and their even more murderous enslaved gods. I love this one!

I finally have space to shelve some of my favorite childhood books, and unboxing them is making me genuinely misty-eyed

-Muscle is my most played song because it bops AND the lyrics perfectly fit B&B Rey and Kylo.
-Mastermind is #2 bc somehow it also became a B&B song in my head (especially the "you knew the entire time" part 🫣)
-Choreomania only fell 4 slots since last year!

To celebrate the new chapter of B&B, here are dual portraits of Rey I commissioned from the inimitable @tarzelladraws.bsky.social! I love them both, but especially Farm Rey 😍
