a lot of people have asked me this question recently so I wrote a post on exactly why I hate dead gays so much

new discourse: all cats are fundamentally good

hi this book is going to lead to my death

I somehow just binged half this book over one free period lmao

my account, expectations: articulate reviews, polite commentary, a very reasonable user
my account, reality: montage of me screaming about every single queer book coming out five years from now and occasionally, possibly, finishing a book

this narrator is fucking creepy I love it

I swear this book should be great but it’s just so slow I’m bored

Roxane Gay, an Icon,

I love that Winter’s hallucinations are gone but she’s still got her quirky personality - it really shows that she’s got a personality far beyond being “the crazy girl” and that she’s super brave and strong

how the hell is this going to end

me, after writing approximately three of my 4664667745 outstanding reviews: I’ve done so much work, I need a break :))

this is really addictive??

resolution of the year: one star the books I want to one star, even if they offer good things

this bitch just kneed someone in the groin for touching her boob, and then promptly ruined the iconicness of the moment by apologizing for it and saying it was her fault

okay so I have like three hours to listen to the rest of this rip

I love morally ambiguous bisexuals

hey guys. so in the future, when I’m about to read a book that buries more than 50% of its queer characters, PLEASE do not hesitate to tell me. I am so tired of having to worry about being buried in every single book. I am so tired of finding out.

hey guys, I’m having a really bad mental health day so if I take a long time to reply to comments please know I love you the most ❤️❤️

is it really a 2014-era YA novel if the only villains with no point of view are a sapphic girl and a queer guy?

JOCELYN DAVIES REALLY BROUGHT IT WITH HER STORY. 400/10 A TRUE MASTERPIECE

listen... why can't these books just be 1000000 pages of Binti and Okwu chilling. that's all I want I do not care about this

okay okay okay FINE y'all were right the Emery Lord story is a masterpiece

wow I love Ahsoka Tano

remember when I planned on bingeing this over the weekend and then got caught up with Bright We Burn? I do

I just... still don’t care that much about this series

MEREDITH RUSSO OUT HERE KILLING IT

of the last five stories, THREE have been about the death of a family member being helped by love. I’m dead inside.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

ICANT BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING I DID NOT DARE TO HOPE I DID NOT DARE TO DREAM I AM SCREAMING

I do not understand why some people on this website act as if diversity is a completely nonexistent thing in media? yeah, diverse books are still not the norm and often don't get hyped much. but if you're reading entirely books about straight white people, that miiiiiight be a you problem.
