I don't like the carving knife, Mr. Hindley," I answered "it has been cutting red herrings. I'd rather be shot-if you please." "You'd rather be damned!" he said [...] "open your mouth" He held the knife in his hand, and pushed its point between my teeth but, for my part, I was never much afraid of his vagaries. I spat out, and affirmed it tasted detestably-I would not take it on any account.

Nelly is is so hardcore

these people... *smh*

Chapter 20... this... fairy spring ritual... I fear it's gonna be some Midsommer shit...
Unlke Feyra, I don't want to find out and I would have stayed in my room. *smh*

[...] social power (being seen as warm and caring) is women's 'consolation prize for renouncing competition with men' [...] Social power for women is therefore intrinsically incompatible with professional power: if a woman wants to be seen as competent she has to give up being seen as warm.

oooooh it's a The Beauty And The Beast retelling! Well it was one of my.favorite fairy tells when I was a kid so i lile it so far. I like Tamlin :)
I Feyra always tried to avoid Tamlin and think of a way to escape everyday and everytime they eat she thinks about how scary he is BUT the moment he gets a lil cut on his hand she feels pity and treats him... I wished he'd done something more to deserve pity from fmc

What a peace of shit Feyra's family is. Sisters are so useless, a burden but still demanding and haughty. They treat her like cindarella was treated by her stepsisters.
Father is useless and egocentric.
I don't know how old Feyra is, but she feels like the sole adult in this family. I found Feyra cool in the woods but why would she let them trest her like that?! The author went overboard in pity farming for fmc.

[...]be grateful that you are not a health worker.Research has found that nurses are subjected are subjected to 'more acts of violence than police officer's and prison guards'

//oh goodie, let me change my occupation real quick

Sweden discovered a male bias in the way they'd been planning youth urban regeneration. The usual procedure was to create spaces for skating, climbing and painting grafitti. The trouble was, it wasn't the 'youth' as a whole who were participating in these. It was almost exclusively the boys. In 2010 before they began work on their next project, city officials asked the girls what they wanted.

// W Sweden <3

[...] women and men respond to similar environmental conditions differently, with women tending to be 'more sensitive than men to signs of danger and social disorder' [...]
This fear impacts on women's mobility and their basic right of access to the city.[...] They avoid specific routes, times and modes of transport. [...]

// absolutely correct. I take a longer trip with a bus to not have to transfer to a subway

Лицо Чоу Лицзы уже начало синеть, когда рука Тан Цзэмина вдруг схватила его за волосы и рванула вверх. Распахнув глаза, Тан Цзэмин зло прошипел, свысока глядя на него:
-Kaково это, быть обманутым слабаком? Hpaвится, a?
Чоу Лицзы, сжав зубы, хрипел через силу, задыхаясь у его ног.
// Damn I forgot how badass and psycho Tan Zhemin can get when someone is messing with his Yifu. Finally something exciting is happening.

The reality of human-on-human lethal violence is that it is overwhelmingly a male occupation. [...] 96% of homicide perpetrators worldwide are male.

// shocking 🫢

Chou Lizhi chopping wood in the morning barechested was sus af. If Xiao Wen had the instincts of a woman he would know that he is being seduced, but instead he just kept staring and drooling over Lizhi's musculiar back XD I felt the chemistry between them and I was glad to see a handicapped main character, but then it turns out the cute,new, blind guy is actually an evil asshole who let his wolf almost hurt Zhemin

I'm not ready for new main character. I already have troupble following the 10 we've already got and now there is a new mysterious blind man with a big black wolf...
Right now the character I find interesting are the City Master, Tan Zhemin and the Leader of Guards. All.the others are just so so, just average chracters, no special title and no imteresting backstory.

Я не хочу так подробно читать о пытках! 😭

The chapter of Anna's husbands POV after she confessed to the affair was really interesting. I even wrote 3 pages of my thoughts into my common place note book (I hate writing by hand. I never write so much at once but I needed to 'explain' to myself why I liked this chapter :D )

I know the book is about Queen Elizabeth and her affair with Robert Dudley but IDC!
Dudley and Cecil have chemistry! XD I feel the gay in the air when they speak. But its probably bc Dudley flirts with anyone XD

Robert could not speak, he was so appalled. 'You want me to labour in the field? Like some peasant?'

My beautiful horse was shot out from under me by a cannon ball. I fell under him as he went down, and his body shielded me and saved my life. He died in my service. I promised him that I'd be a kind master to him, and yet I took him to his death. I called him First Step, but I have stumbled and fallen on my first step. I have lost my horse.

// I need a man who would grieve his horse like this.

Vronsky left the chat

Because [Ma Yun] dealt in so many areas, people liked to call [him] a "jack-of-all-trades" , or, for short, Jack Ma"

This was such a heavy atmosphere but then the author pulled this 4th wall shattering joke. I was lmao-ing XD
Lifted the atmosphere a little so I forgot they're going to mount doom XD"
