just saw someone say "some war crimes can be forgiven" @ a genocidal fascist bc said genocidal fascist is hot to them and YOUR HONOR I'M ABOUT TO MCFUCKING LOSE IT—
just finished reading "renegades" by marissa meyer, and i'm sad to say it really disappointed me :/
i'll put up my review in a bit, but i really liked the pitch (enemies-to-lovers, cool superpowers, futuristic dystopia, anarchists) so it's sad how shallow the worldbuilding & characters ended up being. i'm also like 99% sure marissa meyer did zero research into what anarchism actually is as an ideology, which is even more :/. i don't want to have to be a buzzkill here but if you're going to use an actual real life ideology by name in your writing you should at least do a vague google search on that ideology.
just found a copy of the original throne of glass draft, queen of glass, and Oh Boy Am I Having A Bad Time. a quick read through of the first several chapters has reminded me of why i took so long to read throne of glass.
[hint: the dialogue reads like a pompous asshole's approximation of formal language, it's so painfully not-like-other-girls-TM, & the infodumps might just kill me. also you will never convince me that sarah j maas came up w/ the erawan-is-perrington twist before she started writing perrington.]
i can't believe how terribly i just failed on a math question,,, it wasn't even the hard,,,,, i just completely forgot to convert watts to kilowatt hours,,,, Fuck.
