    @snortingsmarties8363 3 года назад

    Lore reminds me of the Fate anime series, there's a Holy Grail War, heroes throughout history are servants and are summoned by sorcerers who are called masters and its like a giant battle royale every 7 years to obtain the Holy Grail and is granted 1 wish. Its really good!

  • @draftacriss
    @draftacriss 3 года назад

    My fav thing about the Disney+ weekly release schedule is that it gives me something to look forward every week, but also it keeps the show in the conversation for longer! With Netflix shows that drop all at once they kinda pop up and disappear after a few weeks, but this way it allows a fandom to build, come up with theories every week, create art, new memes every week etc. The binge works with shows like Bridgerton, but Marvel already felt like a whole TV franchise building up to Endgame, so they have me trained to wait patiently 😂
    But also it’s cruel and I wanna know what happens ASAP 🥲🥲
    My first read of the year was The knife of never letting go! I really thought they were gonna release the film in January so I rushed to FINALLY get on this book’s train (8 years too late lol) and it was phenomenal. Not what I expected AT ALL. I’m in the middle of book 3 now and damn!! Also the Tom Holland-Todd, Daisy Ridley-Viola, Mads Mikkelsen-Mayor Prentiss casting is PERFECT.

    I read These Shallow Graves by Jennifer Donnelly and it was ABSOLUTELY fantastic I loved the characters and the plot and the historical fiction break the stereotype curve the main character has and I also read All the Young Dudes, an epic fan-written worthy-enough-to-be-called-a-novel fic and I still have not recovered. This Wolfstar fic is so heavy and lovely and well-written and the characters become so real and beloved and have such a bond with each other that I want to scream at them to stop and to just stay in their perfect little bubble at school and never to leave pls freeze these moments because I know how it's going to end and that's why I can't read the ending because everyone's going to die or be good as and Remus will be All. Alone. and he deserves so so much better and maybe you can tell I'm not exactly over this book but hopefully one day I will be
