jessa ༒︎ > Recent Status Updates

15 yr anniversary of the TV show, no better time to start my GoT journey 🫡

aaaand in this one, the mmc's choice of quirky unique petname for fmc that he comes up with within 0.056 seconds of meeting her: Moonbeam

slow start but it's picking up slowly - the characters aren't anything special and the plot isn't super unique but the world is very lyrical and celestial !

yawwwwn. i was promised dragons...where r they !!

cringing out of my skin with every use of “male” or “female”

‘“well, he knew how to salsa dance. Salsa! You should’ve seen the way his feet moved, and his hands …”
She was breathing heavily now, either from the effort of confession or the memory of Dan’s salsa hands.’

'Hasten then to the end which thou hast before thee, and, throwing away idle hopes, come to thy own aid, if thou carest at all for thyself, while it is in thy power.'

‘“In order for me to be a homewrecker, you would have to have a home for me to wreck, and you don’t. You don’t even have a family.”’

‘“I was just busy with Jessa. She took a huge poo, and then I got her all changed, and then she did it again! Didn’t you, Jessy? Do we have to clean you again? Yes we do!”’
my bad my bad

the mc’s daughter’s name is Jessa… *turns to invisible camera in room* am i on a reality show

‘That’s my husband,’ I thought merrily, ‘saying hello to everyone at a private school in the middle of nowhere, not a concern in the world, while his wife uses her last five brain cells to power wash a baby’s butt crack—‘
this is real horror

'For a man cannot lose either the past or the future: for what a man has not, how can any one take this from him?
Forhe present is the only thing of which a man can be deprived...'

'Whatever this is that I am, it is a little flesh and breath, and the ruling part... See the breath also, what kind of a thing it is, air, and not always the same, but every moment sent out and again sucked in... no longer let this be a slave, no longer be pulled by the strings like a puppet to unsocial movements, no longer be either dissatisfied with thy present lot, or shrink from the future.'

‘The lady of darkness and her dishonourable knight? He would be loyal forever, until he was offered double.’
always gonna choose the villain, even if he backstabs me… esp if he backstabs me, nothing more deviously romantic ψ(｀∇´)ψ

"evil's just sexier" frfr

‘As you might imagine, the choice between “stay behind to face possible crucifixion for piracy” or “escape with the large, armed woman promising riches” was not a difficult one.’

‘“She looks like a giant.” His companion squeezed my bicep. “By God, woman. What do you eat to be built like some sort of warhorse?”
“Your father’s—”’

‘“You do not need men for companionship. And Kamran tried to stab you. Twice.” “Yes, but in my defense, it was my first marriage, and he was distractingly pretty.” “You threw the second one off the Marawati stark naked.” “…he was an excellent swimmer. Besides, I upgraded to Salih after…”’
LOL i love nefarious widows who have mysteriously outlived their multiple husbands…amina you scallywag<3

‘“…friends do not murder each other without warning.”’

‘“Happy sixteen-year-olds are rarer than just kings.”’

the audiobook narrator’s delivery is so good! i can already tell this is gonna be such a fun ride ( ・∇・)

‘The father is a cuckold. One of my favorite human words, I must admit.’

bouncing between the narratives of a handful of broken, lost & hurt characters, super reminiscent of fredrik backman's style

‘“You are the future queen, kitten”’
how am i supposed to take this seriously with that nickname HDDJJDKD

‘My gaze jumps unwillingly to that dark room off the side, where the unmade bed is. I think about the crack that Tomison made about Stark once—about how he seemed like the type who’d do all the riding.’
what does this mean. the man is straight. unless…PEGGING? ORZ

‘the goal of tonight for the Bonded is to look as sexy as possible in front of all the nobles there to ogle them.’ this is so trashy im eating it up

'Great. I’m cooked.' the random gen z slang LMAOO??
