People of Tumblr, please, give me a good romance book rec. I need a stand alone. Reverse grumpy x sunshine, optional. Ooh, or or or. I want to try dark romance, also optional. Pleaseeeeeee

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".
Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.
It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.
Lol ikr. Like, babe, what do you think motivates me to keep trying?
I hate that on shifttok they keep saying you need to be happy with this reality before you can shift. Like, no.
I totally understand that James did nothing for Harry, for the most part of Harry's life. But it's not like he didn't do anything willingly. If I am not wrong he seemed a pretty decent dad for the time he was alive after Harry's birth.
And yeah, people don't talk enough about how what Severus did was brave and all that. But that's because they keep talking about how he had no right to be a dick to children just because he was bullied too, your trauma doesn't give you any right to traumatize other people. And at the end, what he did against Voldy was for revenge and for some sort of apologizing to Lily by "protecting" her son. He might have loved Lily, but it wasn't too long before that was turned into obsession. I empathized with the school boy Severus. But after that, it was a bit too twisted.
People get mad that Harry named his son after Severus. However I’m leaning more towards the fact that Snape did the most thankless job even after being mistreated all of his life by the people he was saving and working with and the only thanks he gets- the only time anyone has decided to remember a single thing he did- it’s when Harry is naming his spawn.
Severus is not even the spawn’s first name, it’s his second name. Oh yeah and he threw in some half-baked dialogue about how Severus was brave. Wow truly what a fucking treat, what an homage.
And people are complaining that he didn’t name his kid after Hargid (or Lupin I don’t think which is pretty sad and also thankless). And I agree, but instead of switching out Severus’s name, take out James’s.
He named one of his kids James Sirius Potter (which is just so cringe) and like my question is why? Sirius is perfectly understandable but why James? James has done absolutely nothing-and I mean-NOTHING for Harry apart from get compared to him and has basically acted as a sperm donor to Harry. No- not a father, because being a father actually requires raising ur kid- no James’s only merit is that he had a wizard messiah in his ballsack. Brilliant.

Everything else aside, you know what else is fucked up? How Athena let ECHIDNA, the literal MOTHER of all monsters and the freakin CHIMERA into her "temple". And for what? Annabeth "embarrassed" her??? By letting her demigod quest companion do what he wanted with HIS battle ruins??? AND SHE KNEW THERE WERE CIVILIANS???????
I am having such a hard time picturing me wanting to take the Gods' side in season 5. I just don't see it happening.
No, but, how come his ribs didn't? Was that on purpose? Hmmmmm 🤔
The fact that she hits Cardan so hard her weapon breaks? LMFAOOOOO PLATINUM
And we love his iconic ass
Annabeth: Someone has to stay back to slow her down and buy everyone some time. Help him down the stairs and get him to the river. And don’t stop. Not till you get to Hades, not till you have the bolt, do you hear me?
Percy:
I'll help alongside dad and be the second hardest shipper. Arghhhh. I need itttt.
The fact that I had expected him to be a lil weirded out by Nico liking Percy but still would have supported him. This one is so much more juicy, jekskxidkemfkdk
Oh, I desperately need this Hades-Percy-dynamic in regards to Nico/Percy though.
This Hades? Who saved Sally Jackson, instead of danging her as a bargaining chip right away?
This Hades? Who offered Percy sanctuary and protection, instead of antagonizing him?
And this Percy? Who accepts the quest to retrieve Hades' helmet for him?
This opens the door to such a positive spin on their dynamic - and now imagine Hades' reaction when he learns that his son is hopelessly, obsessively in love with Percy Jackson?
I need Lord Hades, number one Nico/Percy shipper, captain of the ship, in my life right now.
I'm crying like obviously we know Percy's powerful but this show has held back in the fight scenes so him threatening Ares is. SO funny. baby you've got nothing to back that up. you're just a yappy little baby chihuahua right now.
