You ever read a book and it has content that makes you wonder if the author is okay? I adore Sayaka Murata but I wonder how she's doing.
Sam from the recent Star Trek series is a gift. She's the best!

I just finished Ward and now I'm hoping Wildbow writes more Parahumans. I need more of this universe.

I've read that putting your phone in greyscale mode is also a good way to decrease the impulses a smartphone can cultivate. That could also be an easy thing to try. I personally deleted a lot of social media and instead got to reading some Wildbow works online when I want that phone distraction.
6 million American kids have Long Covid.
This isn’t fringe.
It’s now more common than asthma — the #1 chronic condition in U.S. children.
Do you even know what Long Covid refers to?
On this day in 1999, Kittie's debut album SPIT released on Ng Records. When the label merged with Artemis shortly after, the album was released in 2000. In honor of this legendary first outing, check out our review of SPIT XXV: numetalagenda.com/review/ep-re...

Text,/audio versions of Worm. It starts out a bit immature, but the author grows quickly with the practice. It's long, but the chapters are short & digestible, and definitely obsession inducing. The character writing also improves progressively.
If you want a 'not healthy' one that I like to read (not exactly a dark romance a la Blood of Hercules) Imp and Regent from Worm have an interesting arc.
I'd say write something that appeals to you first, with no expectation of turning it in, and then ask someone trusted and versed in romance lit to review it. I'm not a huge romance genre fan (not saying I can't be convinced) but my favorite romances are from series that aren't romance forward.
I like it when there's overlap in values but enough difference (in degrees, in conflict handling, etc) I'm yelling at the couple to talk instead of just breaking up, like in Good Omens w/the main characters. I'm not fond of it when the story says 'you're here, now kiss.' It's a tricky balance.
"SERVANTS."
Emotion manipulation powers are underrated in superhero fiction. Cherish from Worm is an example of a terrifying villain whose whole power set involves detecting and manipulating emotions to very effective ends.
This may or may not be a controversial opinion, but I believe the remake of Fright Night is better than the original. While the original has its charms (such as practical effects), everything is punchier in the remake.
Happy Nightmare Night!
I know she's not portrayed as a 'likeable' character in Ward, but I really enjoy it whenever Sidepiece pops up in the story. (For context, I am halfway through)
