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
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
“Who kisses who first” “who pursues who” “who realizes first” you’re all wrong. Who is the first one to call Christopher “our son”

Eddie posts this on reddit and doesn’t understabd why people keep telling him his beyt friend is in love woth him
My name is Eddie Diaz and last week, my best friend who I adore and who's been my rock and my lifeline for seven years, who offered me more love and unconditional support than anyone sabotaged me because he had big feelings about my move and I said something to strangers I was trying to sell my house to that set him spiraling. I didn't even know he was listening.
He retracted his support and replaced me with a dog. Me. And okay, I already think I'm a horrible person and I'm literally battling with myself right now because I am a horrible father and I can't let my son, my world, grow up without me so I'm going back to the worse city on earth and leaving behind my life and any sense of identity I found for myself in seven years.
I leave him behind. My best friend who's literally been the other half of me since the day we pulled a grenade out of a guy (super badass).
BUT HE REPLACED ME WITH A DOG. And he was so distant. He didn't even tell me about the dog and whoo? We say everything to each other.
He outed me (not like that)
But he wouldn't yell at me. And okay, if he wants to be hurt, and ruin the last good days we got together. I am all for it. It hurt less to choose my son if I can push him away. So I pushed him away.
I tried. For like 5 min.
But he didn't yell back. And then all our friends were there.
He's subletting my house now. Because he's choosing my son too, he knows that I'll always choose my kid, and he's happy I finally take it upon myself to mandle things with my baby.
He did that for me.
He did that for me.
What am I going to do without him?
Hockey AU!! The new guy is irritatingly perfect, and Buck seems to be the only one who minds it. Which just makes everything WORSE. Why is no one else bothered by his stupid perfect face and his stupid perfect shots and his stupid perfect everything?
Inspired by all the Hockey AUs I've been reading recently. Good shit lemme tell ya!!!
started watching 911 and tbh at first I really was like "ah it can't be that bad!!" about buck and eddie. it is. it is that bad. what do you mean they had a textbook rivalry to best friends arc. what do you mean buck is basically a second dad to christopher. what do you mean he would get legal guardianship of christopher because no one would fight for christopher like him. what do you mean hes living in eddies house. what is going on. why has buck looked at eddie like that from day fucking one what the shit
The love I have for this Thurvishar guy is too much to handle.
I am weird.I am here. I am in so many fandoms i honestly can’t even count it anymore. Also let’s go a-spec peeps!! Idfk what im doing
