Making trope graphics is too fun.

This ebook is basically #merthur with the serial numbers filed off and also it’s not Arthuriana and it ends a lot better.

My friend Rosina has made a book tag for her love of Critical Role, over on Lace & Dagger Books and she tagged me today, so I will be doing my best to try and answer all her questions as much as I can!

With today’s tag, I’m going to be listing all the members so far of the chaotic Hells Bells and giving you prompts relating to them!

• Ashton - A Non Binary Protagonist - Prince Sebastian from ‘The Princess & The Dressmaker by Jen Wang - I could literally talk about this book all day, as soon as I read it became one of my favourite books of all time. The story of a prince who keeps his secret life as a woman a secret, he is revealed and accepted by his family and it’s a wonderful story really meant for children but anyone can take from this book. I wish everyone got the chance to see this book.
• Dorian - A book featuring complicated family dynamics - Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher -Imean, I read this book recently and it still stays with me. A mother who arranges her daughter’s wedding to an awful prince, a sister who wants to save her even though the last words they spoke were not kind. It’s an incredibly complicated dynamic but it makes this book one of my favourite books of this year. An incredible new fantasy.
• Laudna – A spin-off book or one where characters from another book or series have popped in to say hi - The whole Love, Creekwood Series with Simon Vs The Homosapiens Agenda, Leah On The Offbeat and the novella Love Creekwood are the perfect example to me of how to explore a group of friends through a series of books. I loved Leah so much in 'Simon..’ and I’m so glad she got her own book and her own romance.
• Imogen - A Book That’s related to sleep somehow - My Year of Rest And Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh - I didn’t like this book, and I know books can’t be for everyone but it did make me think about how much I needed some rest and this book is about sleeping a year away. The main character induces? herself into a medical slumber for a year and I don’t know what happens as I never made it that far but everyone tells me it’s worth it. So yeah, here’s a book recommendation I guess.
• Orym - A book with moons on the cover - TheLittle Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - This story is heartbreaking and charming and a fairy tale for the modern day. I guess the moral of the story is no time you wasted in doing something you loved, is ever something that is ever wasted.
• Fearne - A book featuring an animal companion-The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb - I could recommend the whole trilogy of books for this, but I will say the relationship between Fitz and NightEyes in this series is incredible and the bond they have between the two of them is incredible and he deserves to live forever. The wolf I mean. All pets deserve to live forever to be honest.
• Chetney - A Book That Surprised You - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid - I’m not going to talk about this much because it’s a big one for many people’s TBR’s, but that damned twist and reveal at the end stupefied me. I didn’t see it coming at all. Deserved every star I gave it.
• F.C.G - A book you have a complicated relationship with - Much like Rosina, I also enjoyed House of Earth & Blood but I am not going to read book two. After being spoiled for it, I would rather not put myself through that, no matter how spicy it gets. The first book is a really great read, and I highly recommend the audiobook but nope, big nope after hearing what happens in book two.
• Bertrand - A book with a death that hit you hard - Familiar Things by Sok-Yong Hwang - Korean literature really likes to break your heart, well, in every book I’ve read from authors from South Korea, they hurt me like nothing else has, and the loss of one of the characters near the end of this book genuinely felt like someone had taken my heart and jumped on it. A really beautifully written book and poverty about existing in the only way you can, it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year.

And that’s it! Please let me know if you like Critical Role, I’d love to learn more!

And please let me know what you would choose for these prompts!

Vee xo.

That trope where Character A refuses to/hasn’t acknowledged their feelings for Character B but when they think about B with someone else they instantly hate the thought

Fave tropes

yeah yeah I love enemies- to- lovers

but the trope where one of them thinks they are a unloveable monster bc of the monstrous things they have done and the other person hates them for being the monster and being the worst person in the world.

but after awhile they’re seeing the real person behind the monster slowly falling for them, accepting them and their monstrous past but not wanting to and making it difficult because they are ‘bad’ and they cant fall for someone who has done all these bad thing but still falling.

and the 'monster’ also falling for the other person but not wanting to because the other person is the best thing in the world and they don’t wanna fuck them up with his monster shit and not deserving them because they are 'bad’ but being absolutely in love with them and wanting to be better and try to be better to give them the fucking world??

YEAH I GO ABSOLUTELY MENTAL FOR THAT
