I Wonder What's Next From Streamers Like The One I Talked About In This Post

There's this book I read as a kid. I don't remember what it was called and I don't remember the author.

It was about this princess who had long, curly red hair. I don't remember her name. She had three older sisters, two of which were twins. She was being tutored by the eldest's love interest. I don't remember why, but her family got put under a curse, and her eldest sister turned into a weeping willow tree and the twins into swans. So she had to run away, and she cut her hair to pretend to be a boy. And there was a girl named Megan or Meghan with her (the only character whose name I remember), and Meg(h)an had blonde hair that was slowly turning black because she was infected with evil raven magic. I don't remember how it ends.

Anyway, it's not so much that I want to read it again but more that it bothers me immensely that I can't remember what book it was.

I tried to look up what book this could be. There are endless books about older brothers being turned into swans, but I couldn't find anything where it happens to older sisters. The tree one got me a lot of recommendations for parks and botanical gardens. And the hair search returned a bunch of articles about Megan Thee Stallion.

So I have no idea what book this could be.

But I did find a website that might be able to help you out

“you can’t ship that, it’ll never be canon!”

look, when I was your age, we shipped characters who never even met in canon. uphill. both ways. in the snow.

If the Ancient Aliens/Ancient Astronauts theory is true, then aliens must really hate white people

People really out here replying to my posts and immediately blocking me

Literally learning how to speed read just so I can get through The Secret History faster. I just want to be done with this terrible book

There is something really annoying to me about magic systems that are dependent on the sex of the user. Especially since it always seems tied to sex assigned at birth rather than identity.

Like, there's this super powerful force permeating the universe that allows those who harness it to perform amazing feats that no human would be able to perform otherwise.

But it all depends on what genitals you came out of the womb with.

i went to the YA section several years ago since i needed a book to read to pass some time. there was this one called "the border" that had a nice looking cover that i ended up buying (was a good choice for me specifically since it taught me a few things about immigration that i had never exposed myself to, though i don't recommend it otherwise. like, at all.). the only female protagonist offered to show her tits to a kid so he'd buy her something from the corner store, and did the same thing for the main protag in the middle of the desert because she liked him(??? they were both teens, but it was still strange). ended up looking up the author years later, and yes, it is a grown ass man. the A in YA stands for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH??????

Sometimes I think we need to ban grown men from writing teen girls. I've never seen a demographic so convinced that sexualizing children is super normal and okay

Why the fuck do guys seem to think that every conversation is an argument of some kind??

Like, Zan and I were talking about the usage of the word "simp" and that the online circles I move in tend to use it as a sort of compliment rather than an insult. Like, "oh, a guy who's kind and is willing to help me out and stand up for me when needed and doesn't treat me like garbage or meat? Fucking neat!" and he starts talking about how that's "anecdotal evidence" and that it isn't "admissible". I'm confused af at this point, cause when tf did we go to court over this?

I had to actually explain to him that I wasn't arguing over anything. I was literally just pointing something out. There was no counterpoint or opposition in that instance, no argument. Just a thing I had noticed.

And, fucking hell, this happens a lot when trying to talk to men. They always assume whatever I'm saying is some form of argument that they have to take the opposing side of.

WHY????

Why can't a conversation just be a conversation? Why does it need to be an argument or debate? Why can't we just talk?

I am so frustrated. It makes me not want to talk at all.

All I can think about is Fenris and Solas glaring at me, arms crossed, demanding that I explain exactly who this "Astarion" is that they've heard so much about

I love it too and I want more of it. Might Blaze that post again to get some more

I got this book, "The Girl Who Drank The Moon" by Kelly Smith. It made me SO mad. It's super well written, the plot makes sense. It has poetry and the poetry is nice too. You root for the characters. But it randomly switches perspectives between the two storylines endlessly and discombobulates you so bad you lose all momentum. Now all of sudden you can't read. In the end I had to just skim the fight sequences cause my brain stopped brain-ing thanks to the sheer amount of perspective shifts suddenly colliding into one.

10/10 would recommend.

It's always disappointing when there are multiple perspectives, but only one of them is actually interesting. Especially when they're very disconnected from each other
