In the middle of reading Empire of Storms…

And I gotta say Lysandra and Aedion are my favorite couple, above Aelin and Rowan, Aelin and Sam, Dorian and Manon, and definitely Elide and Lorcan so far.

Like from the minute he meets Lysandra he immediately cares about her. I don’t care about slow burns or 500 pages of tension or whatever, he’s falling first and harder and I love it.

I’m just past the part in Chapter 37 where she >!battled the sea wyverns and he promised to marry her one day!<. She thinks he’s joking but this man is 100% serious like you can tell just by reading it.

From some of the hate he gets I know he screws up eventually, but like idk if anything could make me hate this man for how much he cares for both Lysandra and Aelin

My first ever doily 🥹

Before any blocking

It isn’t perfect, but I’m still so proud of it. I posted in r/CrochetHelp a couple times, so thank you to those who helped me over there!

It’s a gardenia doily, I got the pattern out of a magazine but there are are a few video tutorials that go through it step by step

Next project: a popcorn stitch purse, it’s time to learn how to sew on zippers 👀

What voices do you imagine the TOG characters with?

When I read the hardest things for me to imagine are the voices. The female voices are always too high, male voices sound the same, etc, so I’m wondering if anyone has a voice cast in their heads for each character

Is there any good fanfiction of Epic if Polites survived?

I’m just curious about how Polites would have influenced Odysseus’ decisions and how their relationship would’ve changed, especially when he needs to make the choice between himself or his crew during Thunder Bringer

I am confused about the last slip stitch of round two

So i crocheted the eighth petal of round 2 into dc stitch 15 of the first round, and now according to the pattern I need to skip the next dc, which is 16. Does this mean I need to slip stitch into the dc where I made the first petal? I tried this but it seemed so awkward and I must’ve either done that wrong or done something in round 3 wrong

I’ve been away from home for months now on an endless journey (college) facing foes (other college students) and challenges (my classes)

Meanwhile the love of my life (my cat) waits at home with suitors (parents) who believe they can take my place.

I can see the end in sight, my love is past these shores, but first I gotta face Poseidon one last time (finals)

Other notable characters:

Athena - my mentor who helped me a lot but ditched me after first semester

Hermes - probably my coach who’s made this year bearable and gives Hermes vibes

Zeus - that one professor who’s the bane of my existence

Polites - my orientation friend who left before the first semester even ended

Eurylocus - the friends I made who sorta aren’t friends and who’ll probably ditch me next semester

Scylla - depression

Circe - my other professor who seemed sorta intimidating at first but turned out to be rather helpful
