every transmasc deserves an Etienne. i’m about to cry over his kindness 🥲

already giggling and kicking my feet

just bought the illumicrate edition of Starling House because i have no self control

me when a house is used as an allegory for generational trauma: 🎉🎉🎉‼️‼️‼️😍😍

i’m sure this is allegorical but i don’t know in what way yet

the amount of effort that has gone into this book is apparent. the citations and the fake wikipedia article, goddamn. it’s so effective in making the Starling House real that i’m tempted to google it.

wait oh my god this has illustrations???

this is straight up cheeks

i would call Alexei an edgelord but that would be an understatement

let’s see what KU blesses my eyes with this time

“‘To live and see you again is a wonderful thing,’ Cui Buqu said.
Feng Ciao’s heart instantly softened.”

ohmaigah

“[…] One person rose in his mind’s eye. […] Thanks to this man, Cui Buqu had discovered the true meaning of living in the sunlight. Each time he drew near, Cui Buqu felt a step closer to the exhilarating world of life— even if that man was neither gentle nor kind, and challenged him at every turn. […] It was a constant irritation, yet it breathed life into his days.”

just went into B&N for the in store 25% off everything sale and i’m not leaving my house for a month. it was so busy jesus christ

Noel’s dad being obsessed with the Philadelphia Eagle’s christmas album is sooo my dad

i think i hate romantasy now but will that stop me from reading the next popular romantasy? no

that was the weirdest, bordering on gross, meet-cute i’ve ever read.

“‘Who says I like you?’ A faint smirk tugged at Feng Xian’s lips. ‘What could I possibly see in an invalid like you? Don’t be so full of yourself. Maybe you’re the one who likes me.’
Cui Buqu snorted. ‘You think I’d like a featherless peacock who’s gilded on the outside and rotten on the inside?’
They locked eyes for a moment, then both looked away and ignored each other.”

“‘How do you manage to speak such shameful words so boldly?’ Cui Buqu asked, entirely sincere.
‘I learned from you of course.’”

i would unironically die for fengcui

“I waited for his revulsion, for him to throw me to the ground and wrap a hand around my throat, but he only looked at me with bewildered awe. The seconds seemed to stretch until finally, he pinched his eyes shut. He reached for a blanket and quietly extended it towards me.”

CHIVALRY IS ALIVE!!!!!!!
