I am a bitter Fantasy fan (now with recs)

I have been reading Fantasy written by English and American authors ever since I was fourteen. It is my favourite genre, and most of my favourite books are Fantasy books. This genre was my cure for sadness, loneliness, and boredom ever since I discovered it. And even though I love that genre and spend quite an amount of time defending its literary ( Read more... )

Elizabeth I does not approve of this bullshit

Gee, maybe because the Victorians ( Read more... )

Biphobic is biphobic.
Transphobic is transphobic.
Ableism is ableism.
