Okay Bluesky, which of these books should I read next? Tideborn is a sequel to Fathomfolk; SEAsia-inspired maritime fantasy. Dunvegan Castle: 3rd installment of Edinburgh nights. Gothic dystopian Scotland with magic and Zimbabwean-inspired folklore. (continued below):

Idk why a lot of Asian supernatural fantasy involves death and the afterlife, but they just do. And they’re not always horror. This one was a fun adventure. I liked our lead female chara and it has a cast of delightful eccentric supporting characters. A few flaws, but didn’t stop me enjoying it.
I have so much LOVE for this. Queer female lead, supernatural elements of Malaysia (and Singapore). Yet what I loved most was the dialogue cos of how familiar it felt (to me). This was a Ride; Ah Ma was wonderful, and the story hit just right. Brilliant stuff. Would read again.
Goodreads really took down all the comments pointing out a book is AI slop because the thief went crying to them about their sloppery being pointed out? After the author of the original book that was stolen talked about it. What absolutely useless cowards.
Throwback to an older SDCC (looks like 2022) and Benjamin Walker reciting the "Fall of Gil-galad" poem - because of course he's memorised it. #TROP #RingsofPower

They… couldn’t even get it to generate Bayverse Optimus. That design is Rise of the Beasts Prime. A film where the human leads were a Hispanic man and Black woman. Also, Peter Cullen was Canadian. Also, Autobots are not American. They’re literally illegal aliens. These people have no literacy
Weird the US government are previewing the new Michael Bay Transformers movie...

"But if what her grandfather had said of the Moriondor were true—and what Adar had said—that would mean that what she had done here in Middle-Earth, all these centuries, had been a kind of… Kinslaying." #TROPReforged 1.6: Blood archiveofourown.org/works/738491...
I’m almost 100% sure the cover of the new Smyths Toys catalogue is ai generated. It has that ugly sheen on it.

I don’t really have any feelings on whether romance books as a publishing genre are Supposed To Have happy endings or not, but I will die on the barricades before I see it spread as a broader expectation to AO3. WHAT is this fuckery, I ask you.
‘SHŌGUN’ Season 2 has wrapped filming. • Set 10 years after the first season • Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis will reprise their roles
After Fëanor departs with Amrod and Armas despite her pleading, a heartsick Nerdanel is consoled by Indis; surrounded by statues of those who are gone and doomed.
Advertising myself feels wrong and obnoxious, but the truth is I need to become properly obnoxious about it 🙂↕️
And they said “ooooh I’m blinded by the light; no I can’t see, that Silmaril’s too much!” (I’ll see myself off the nearest cliff - caw-caw!) 🦜

The Dwarves have a Group Chat for @middleearth.quest ?? Oi! Gondor people! Why don’t we have a group chat??
I was actually shitting bricks when I saw that the Dwarves not only had the highest strength, but they have like, a group chat. They're worthy foes and I feel like we lucked out here. Good hustle Mordor gang. I won a god damned waterskin from this btw.
This is every Rainbow Brite episode where Murky robs all the colours and makes everyone depressed until Rainbow restores colour and joy again.
NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOO
When Scraplet started P1 last year (4-5yos) much of the homework they were given involved using a screen to do online puzzles + a couple of actual writing letters exercises. End of the last term they sent out a homework survey and I duly informed them that I would be continuing to send homework ➡️
This reminds me of an article I saw recently that a kindergarten teacher, at least once a year, will have at least one kid who has never written or drawn with anything physical. That kid has only ever been on an iPad for their entire short lifespan that they don't even know how to hold a pencil.
Sorry folks, please bear with us while we get this issue fixed. Time to yell at the printer again.
Hi Everyone, So it turns out the printing error was not a one-off... as a result we are going to delay the release date until we get it sorted and have them resend the correct versions. We will update on a sales date as soon as we can. #TROP #TROPsky #RingsofPower
Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring. Bluey on the other hand is too easily corrupted by magic. And Muffin is just pure chaos. Rusty though. Rusty is another contender.

Can’t believe even the elves would be speaking against ChatGPT. Don’t they know it’s the future..? #TROPRewatch
Time then for this week’s #TROPRewatch, and time to be predictably tedious. It is a lovely spot, though. So good they filmed there twice…
Right then, time for #TROPRewatch S1E8 finale! And the first time it began with me and the Llama screaming at the TV screen cos we knew that location where they filmed the Stranger and the Mystics. Cos it's the same place they filmed the Trollshaws for An Unexpected Journey, and we'd been there.
