idk if anyone else is like me, but for a long time after reading the Locked Tomb series, I had absolutely nothing else like it to scratch a similar itch. Over the last 2 years I've found two other awesome books that give me a bit of the same feeling. One is "Charon Docks at Daylight" by Zoe Reed. It's a HARDCORE enemies-to-lovers book. They're PROPER fucking enemies at first. The other one was only released this year, it's "The First and Last Demon" by Hiyodori (although it's subheading of it being a romance is burying the lede a little- there *is* romance but it's definitely not a romance novel). If anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them 0u0

    The heavens rumble with the anger of the gods, the sky is not obnoxiously bright and chipper, the rain patters on the roof calmingly. Exquisite.

    I have no idea why anyone would ever think "hey you don't match my negative stereotypes about x" would be an ok and sensible thing to say, really with regards to anything, not just autism, sexuality etc.

    Me, still trying to get myself to reply to my friends 3 months later.

    I've never listened to Italian trap music but your comment made me laugh. You've got me curious: why is Italian trap music specifically is so terrible?
