a lot like if ao3 had more of a focus on original works - started reading a 205-chapter scifi/urban fantasy/slice of life kinda deal on there and got sixty chapters in overnight, i literally couldn't put it down to sleep it was that good. i've never been super into scifi or heavy worldbuilding fantasy because they usually overwhelming you by infodumping about a million bits of lore all at once but this story? so well written, feeds you the information really well through the story, beautiful characterisation and character interactions, funny and horrifying and heartwarming and just.... ahhhh i'm just so glad i found it! i'm very excited to start checking out even more works on there now, it's independently what got me back into reading original works

starlet it's called super supportive, by sleyca! would highly recommend - the first few chapters are great and it's an entertaining read from the jump, but i'd say it really starts to come into its own once we start to see actual alien culture, the author really thrives!

I used to struggle to find reading pleasurable so I switched to genre fiction. I read a lot of unserious hehe-haha books now, I get to explore a really fun and new-to-me canon, and take perverse pleasure in telling boys that I find Isaac Asimov a bit boring.
This is one of the collections I am slowly working through!

okay so I haven't seen any fanfic recs on here so ig I'll be the first but even if you don't read fanfic in general or you haven't watched teen wolf, I would read this fic on ao3. truly one of the best fics i've read on the site, the world building, the angst, the magical realism, its all just so good, i've reread it about 100 times by now, and I haven't even watched teen wolf

If we were villains:
it’s one of my new favs by ML Rios! It’s about a group of Shakespeare scholars that go to school in this prestigious university in BFE. They are doing a production of a play when someone turns up dead with no suspect. It’s super thrilling and an amazing use of shakespeare’s text to tie the story together. 100% recommend if ur into horror/murder mystery!
Crowns of Nyaxia:
This is a series by carissa broadbent that (currently) spans 2 main books as well as a couple spinoff books. The two main books are some of my faves in the fantasy genre. it’s hunger games with vampires! there’s amazing fight scenes, gore, poetry, and a little smut if you’re into that. I read both of these books this summer and this is the first time that i’ve read a spinoff in a series bc i loved the characters that much.
enjoy expanding your horizons!!!!!

i've been doing little things to make my life a little easier, like leaving a bottle of water, iron supplements and some belvita soft bakes right by my bed so i always have breakfast, water and iron in the morning, and keeping a very condensed set of skincare stuff right by my toothbrush - it might not be as effective as having more but getting myself to use a cleanser, moisturising sunscreen and vaseline every day has already made my skin feel so much better which has just gotten me more excited to do my routine every day. plus, getting body sprays and haircare stuff and just products in general that you really like the smell of is a game changer because now i get to smell like pineapples and caramel every day! it's such little things but it makes me happy and keeps me doing a routine of things that are good for me :))

i've been really into the idea of tking myself on little solo dates and being generally kinder to myself lately, i think i've been happier with myself recently than i have ever been (the joys of growing up, i guess). and the realisation that i have real adult money and free will and can spend it on whatever is fun! i've been going to more concerts and on little trips and i saw that this one comedy duo i've been seeing a lot on social media were doing a live recording of their podcast in glasgow later this month, and i booked a ticket! planning on taking the day to do a little walking tour of the city, check out a doughnut place someone recommended to me, find a cool looking bar and order myself a pretty cocktail and head to the show - just really make a day of it :)
i don't know, i guess i've been really leaning into the idea that of all the people in my life, i am the one i'll have to spend the most time with, and i've been learning to have more fun hanging out with myself, and i feel like i'm coming into my own a little which just makes me so happy <3 hang out with yourself more! life is short man

i love wearing clothes with fun colours and comfy textures, i feel like it just makes you so much happier walking past mirrors! i got this handmade chunky rainbow sweater with this lovely criss-cross decorative stitching on the outside that makes it look fun and patchworked, and something about the colours just makes me so happy! same with dungarees, i can't believe i only recently picked up a pair because they really do make you feel like the plucky main characters from the books we read at age eleven ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )~✩‧₊
