My blog is going in a really weird direction I had not expected when I created it. But this is what I do now! I rank things! Well, I ranked two things (sci-f worlds and fantasy worlds), so this is obviously the logical next step. I'm gonna rank supernatural creatures by how fuckable they are! It'll be great. Trust me. There are about a million different types of supernaturals out there, so I...

Hades and Persephone have both been crushing on each other from afar for a while, never able to say more than a few words because of Demeter's interference. But when Zeus finds out, he decides to play wingman and help push the two...
I know I technically did one of these posts last month (even though I skipped some parts), but it feels like it's been so long since my last update. I became Twitter famous since we last talked! Just kidding, but I did have a tweet go viral. It was a wild experience for someone who normally gets 10 likes on a good day. Anyway, if I was going to have a viral tweet (or thread, in this case), I'm...

Years later, she's given the chance at a better life, in exchange for becoming a weapon of torture, and she'll have to decide if she's willing to pay that price or if she'd rather take her chances on the run with the only boy who's ever shown her...

I recently did a ranking of types of sci-fi worlds based on how much I'd want to live in them, so I figured, why not do fantasy worlds too? Fantasy is my jam! This list was surprisingly difficult to put together because it's not about specific worlds, but rather subgenres and the types of worlds they're about, and there's so much variation and overlap. I did my best to come up with ten options...
