They're Living Together When They Go On Their First Date But Buck Is Dead Set On Doing It Right. It Has

I cannot say how much i fucking love these books. I read them when I was still pretty clueless about queer things, still thinking i was “straight”, and i found many things fascinating about the worldbuilding and the characters. And now, years later, I’ll be laying in my bed trying to sleep and then suddenly I’m throwing my covers back like “YOU MEAN THAT WAS T4T????????” “Wait was that ASEXUAL REPRESENTATION OR AM I HALLUCINATING???????????”

I’d like to go back in time and hold little me’s head like “baby. You’re a faggot. There’s a reason you like this book and it ain’t just the dragons”

Oh and also! How could i forget! The third book in the series was literally the first book I ever read in English, bc it hadn’t been translated into my native language yet, and i was NOT GOING TO WAIT YEARS TO READ IT TF???? Literally i went

“Have I read a book in english before?”

“No.”

“How long is this one?”

“…640 pages.”

“……….Fuck it we ball.”

Man i gotta reread them it’s been too long.

Okay I said I'd make a more expansive post about this so here it is.

If you like high fantasy, check out A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons.

It's got

magic

dragons

demons

gods that aren't gods

a main character throuple

platonic marriage

distinct characters of various ages

just general diversity

the most incomprehensible family trees

sassy footnotes

and more!

There are five books and the worldbuilding is so neatly woven into the story so as not to overwhelm the reader. I was learning neat facts about the world even in the last book.

The overarching plot is a bit complicated to explain, but it's basically "Ancient mage with an ego has secret plans centuries in the making and must be stopped, but in the meantime there are demons wrecking havoc, terrible shitheads vying for political power, shapeshifters with dubious morals, revenge schemes, slavery, a god of annihilation that has slowly been consuming the sun, and so much family drama."

The five books are:

The Ruin of Kings (aka will someone please tell Kihrin what's going on)

The Name of All Things (aka the adventures of Janel and Qown, a horsegirl and her emotional support atheist priest)

The Memory of Souls (aka Oh My God)

The House of Always (aka Group Therapy tries to stop the apocolapyse)

The Discord of Gods (aka wtf is even going on--OH)

So in conclusion:

great characters, great pacing, great worldbuilding, great antagonists

2x06 “Everyone and their Brother” is one of my favourites so far!!!! Love the Paul storiline with his siter it was so sweet <3333

And also I fucking knew TK was paramedic material I FUCKING KNEW IT he for sure would fit that job so well I’m so serious. Very happy for him.

Also little brother!! Yay :DD

Just a very cute ep overall

8x11 is the buddiest episode we've ever gotten and one of them isn't even in it

"So, Eddie pays the tab, we both run out to the parking lot, and there's a boot on my front tire". Thanks for including the detail that Eddie paid for their food or drinks. Oh this was a date. Wish we could've seen it. "We're not gonna make the game". That was the Lakers' game by the way. A gift from Buck's ex-boyfriend for their 6 months anniversary. They're crazy for this.

Yeah same, this is exactly why i think they might make us wait until next season to actually get them together: there’s just (possibly) too much buildup to do in just half a season. But hey, if we get canon buddie im really not that picky about when :)

ok so not really criticism but a bit of concern: how will the show make it obvious to the audience that Eddie has feelings, is queer and this has been going on for a bit? Or how will they show it believably that he just realized all of that in his 30s?

Like to me it is so obvious, and they have been setting it up for at least half a season now. There are hints in the show (him being ultra monogamous & catholic about relationships and not having true chemistry/romantic feelings for most of his female partners, they're more of an obligation) and it makes so much sense to me that he's a repressed gay man, and the acting supports that. But it's harder to see/believe if you contrast that with Buck's realization who has been making googly eyes at everything and everyone, and is an open book, wears his heart on his sleeve. A casual audience will be able to go back and see it. They won't immediately see it when they look at Eddie, because the acting is way subtler and the queercoding more subtextual as of now, the queerness is in the narrative and possible feelings are explicitly labelled as a deep platonic bond between friends.

Which, in and of itself, no problem! There have been wilder revelations in film and tv with no textual buildup that have been very believable. It all hinges on how the show explains and shows it to the audience. I just don't know if I can trust this show to do a storyline like this justice? Like having someone have a multi-layered revelation and solve some of their emotional struggles within the span of a few episodes. Am I making sense? I love the characters and how they've been portrayed, but I might have grown overprotective of them. I just don't see yet how the show will do it in a believable way. It's one of the reasons I hope they let us steam a bit longer and go for it in the next season

DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson are engaged!!

Congratulations to Garth and Benny, the best werewolf/vampire duo in cinematic history, even though they never met <3
