I love Ana's books, i love the characters they make me laugh, squeal, kick my feet and all that shit but since i started my degree i cannot fucking reread her books anymore without analyzing the characters like the post i made months back on here about my psychoanalysis take on Ava's character.
'oh Jules is behaving this way because blah blah-" 😭 MAKE IT STOP
does no one else do this? buy stuff that remind you of your characters and use it as like props, i just got the armillary sphere (big bronze in the back) and the globe today and im buzzing with ideas. my mum thinks im crazy🤣. I took photos from different angles so its easier to view.
People might hate Lightlark and love powerless but at the end of the day one was heavily plagiarized and the other just trope-baited. 🤓☝️ lol this is based on a conversation i had with a friend do not take me too seriously
theres a bunch of books i want to read but not by myself, heavenly bodies, daughter of no worlds, belladonna, babel (doesn't count as romantasy Im aware), Alchemised, the once upon a broken heart series. so if thats anyones taste let me know we can read it together and yap about our thoughts throughout. <3
I get Miss martian isn't the most well liked character shes like the character in a show where the entire fandom can agree on hating her. however I was rewatching YJ s1-3 and i found her so interesting she stole the identity of a character from a show, (Hello Megan) and has probably manipulated the rest of the team telepathically so they never go against her or question the morally questionable stuff shes done in later seasons (excluding Connor's reaction and her frying that things brain) idk tell me what you guys think.
I am a first year psych student entering my second semester psych Block B and political science block A, I bought 3 notebooks because i plan on using one of them for philosophy and mythology research (for fun) the blue and pink have dividers the brown-red doesn't, which is good for what?
I showed this to my friend, she found it funny
is there any books with art scenes I dont mean descriptions of characters doing art, like actual drawings in-between pages as a standard edition.
BEFORE READING PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM A FIRST YEAR PSYCH STUDENT, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL
Ava Chen is a vibrant, ambitious photography student and social media manager known for her sunny, optimistic exterior and fiercely loyal nature, she is the female protagonist of Twisted Love, the first book in the twisted series, an interconnected standalone series by Ana haung.
However this post isn't going to focus on why booktok loves her or how she's an amazing main character, instead it will focus on the repressed trauma that results in her fear of water, referring to Sigmund Freud's theory on repression which is seen as the cornerstone of psychoanalysis.
In simple terms the mind buries painful traumatic memories as a defense mechanism as seen in the book where Ava remembers exactly why she's afraid of water the memory of her father attempting to murder her was repressed by her mind in order to protect itself.
Now the interesting part is the big question of why is she drawn to Alex who is the cliché morally grey grumpy MMC, the attachment theory coined by Mary Ainsworth (1985) Ava shows traits of anxious-preoccupied attachment (referring to the book where she is described as a little miss sunshine people pleaser) while Alex is the textbook dismissive-attachment type, he blocks out his emotions and relies solely on himself. (due to him witnessing the murder of his family as a child)
Ava is drawn to Alex because his emotional distance triggers her anxious attachment system so the push-and-pull dynamic feels intense and familiar and his intense protectiveness becomes a safety net.
Theres 2 other books behind Katabasis BTW
"I dont have time to write a book, I'll just have Ai write it for me—" dont bother to write at all then. Ai written books are not books they're trashy summaries of a story with dialogue, I'd rather just stare at my phone all day then read an ai 'written' book.
I am a first year psych major and now i cant reread ths twisted series or the KOS without pyscho analyzing the characters like 'hm, [char] was conditioned to ___" MAKE IT STOP😭
(the pink book in case anyone can't see the name is 'drowning in the name of love' and the blue one is a wrath beneath the tides.)
this is based on a late night thought process and maybe too much fanfiction, if they add Raven into YJ would they change her personality and backstory? like maybe make her a normal teen/young adult who gets hit with her powers and heritage later in the season, make her bubbly-ish and nervous like how the writers made BB more mature and serious than his TT counterpart. However, I do hope they dont add her into the story this is soley a theoretical headcanon.

I dont care what some of yall say, Even if its monotone and boring especially for romantic/smut scenes its the funniest thing ever to play in the background while i study and confuse the shit out ot my siblings, because I am a first year psych student so instead of hearing about the different theories on youtube they're hearing a monotone recitation of a smut scene😭🤣
tropes to consider: one-sided love, angst, hurt no comfort, slow burn.
