thank god i'll never been 15 ever again

ouuuuu drama. i like this, great dialogue. and i ADORE how assured our fmc is. compared to eden and the one from brutal truth, the younger fmc (Sienna) is firm in her values and very discerning. she still has that sunshine feel to her character but wow. i love her

her mom making amends 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

i smells a scandal. Winter does love her twists and drama. AND her emotionally unavailable love interests oh boy (and i devour it every time)

“He says if I fall in love with a woman, he would walk me down the aisle, and to hell with what anyone says.”

☹️☹️☹️ the dream

A low, deep chuckle sounded against Sienna’s throat, where Jasmine’s mouth had now trailed. “I just like to make you say it.”


hehehehhee now we’re talkin

“So…the daughter,” Jasmine said, for something else to discuss. “How close were you?”
Out of nowhere, Sienna blushed.
Oh. They were that close? She raised an eyebrow. “I see.”
Sienna blushed even harder.

awwwww wait she’s so cute

“He was a tall, well-rounded man with thick black glasses.”

bro this is strike FOUR. well 🤣🤣 rounded 🤣🤣

Winter, this isn’t you !!

i appreciate how fact based this is. the comparison between the west’s reporting on Chavez’s death (critical and approving of his death) and King Abdullah (sympathetic and naming him a peacemaker when he killed children, criminalized religious freedom + other human rights abuses) was crazy but insightful. it’s always about US allies vs enemies.

looool the reference to the squeegee arm that would twist and resweep the never ending red liquid

lowkey like whats with all the “she was found/spherical/rotund” descriptors…surely there’s alternatives

“TERRIBLY CHUFFED” LMAOOO i find Winter’s writing of british characters to be hilarious

only 1 page dedicated to Costa Rica which was interesting (didn’t know much about Figueres) but would have expected Blum to at least mention how unique Costa Rica is as a demilitarized state !

also i have little tolerance for a guy that a accommodated those evil multinational fruit companies. he’s ok but i can see how he was considered a “moderate socialist”

“You still did not say why you would not own your idea. Did you not want to impress me?” She lifted a mocking eyebrow. “And to think I thought everyone wanted to impress me.”
“Are you saying my idea did impress you?” Sienna asked with the tiniest hint of teasing.
Jasmine narrowed her eyes. “I am not sure I said that.”
“Maybe next time, then?”

i enjoy Sienna’s character! smart

i gotta try this internship-acquisition technique

loool Winter back on her DWP fic grind. honestly i’m not a fan of age-gaps, don’t like em, don’t find them interesting. but for Winter i make the exception (but please give us more couples like Cynthia and Suze 🙏)

“After the coup, the US doubled its funding to the same groups that had organized the coup, continuing to fly coup-plotters like Maria Corina Machado to the White House at taxpayer expense.”

and she’s STILLLL at it omfg

very interesting and clear so far, the history of Venezuela is very new to me. hearing them talk optimistically about UK’s Labour party following the footsteps of Venezuela’s then successful socialism is pretty devastating considering the actual BULL the Labour party is up to rn. i suppose it’s probably due to being part of the imperial core but 🧐 damn

omg i has ZERO memory of the lesbian rep here. didn’t know BJ to include queer rep, but love her for it.

Beverly Jenkins, the woman that you are

back to my ROOTS ❤️‍🩹

THE COOKIES 😭❤️‍🩹

The urgency in Hannah’s voice cuts through that. “God, baby, what happened? Who did this to you?”

hannah, the woman that you are 🫦

“World class mother, best barista in the city, incredible cook, architecture expert, and my personal defender.”
Hannah blushes and Caroline’s never been more charmed by a woman in her entire life. Even as Hannah rolls her eyes. “Yeah, that’s me.”

sooo sweet to revisit this one 💟💟💟

my girls 💟

omega verse is not usually on my menu for a couple of reasons (mostly falling into corny territory & relying on the fate factor to convince us of character connection) but this has been fun so far. yes it is corny but im willing to work with it
