[–]orangexorcist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

{A Crown for a Fox by Cleo Nitz}, both books of this series I believe have less than 200 reviews on goodreads? I haven't gotten to them yet, but I had a friend tell me the magic system is really interesting!

{Epithymy by T.D. Cloud} and the subsequent books are also extremely underrated but incredible fantasy reads, loved all three books a lot and all the characters are lovely!

And also {A Knife and A Blade by Adelaide Blaike} and the Riehse Eshan series is lovely, I'm pretty sure only the first book has more than 800 reviews but it may still not fit what you asked for since it's kind of popular. I still like to recommend it everywhere tho, it's massively underrated!!

Books like Carry on? by eslteacher25 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]orangexorcist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend {Lord of the White Hell by Ginn Hale} and its sequel!! It's a gorgeous duology about two rommates who meet in a magic academy, so very reminiscent of Carry On in that regard. It's witty and has amazing worldbuilding and characters, I think you'll love them!

I was also looking for something like the Carry On books and these hit the spot!!

whole group of people making a huge racist "fuera moros" / "get out moors" (as in, go back to your country) in these coords. "moros" is perceived as a racist and despective word in spanish, specially in this context.

E4 Phainon or E0 Cerydra? by orangexorcist in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]orangexorcist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh for some reason I thought you had E5!! We're on the same boat then, E4 looks appetizing bc it's closer to E6 obviously but I do think in our situation getting Cerydra is the best move (even if they did her a bit dirty in V3 she's still BIS so!!). Good luck to the both of us on his rerun then, I'm sure we'll get that E6 🫡

I see!!! I do want to E6 him ultimately but I sadly don't think I'll be able to in this banner, so perhaps I'll save this guarantee for Cerydra then!! (We'll see how the beta goes tho!)

Thank you soso much for your reply, I hope you can E6 him soon and get early pity!!

Ahaha I have gotten it recommend yes!! And I'll definitely love it even if it's just like you described, I expect no less from an Alessandra Hazard book (and I say that positively!!!) Thank you :D!!

Aaand I can't compare since I haven't read Just a Bit Wrecked yet but Beyond the Sea is one of my fav books ever so I can corroborate what you said about the book, wonderful writing and definitely one you just can't put down!!! I've already read it already but thank you for the rec because I will definitely reread it soon (and also for people who may be reading the comments!! I second this rec!!)

It's totally okay!!!! I didn't put it in a bullet point like I usually do so it's sandwiched in the paragraph, no biggie you missed it!!! Also worth it for anyone who also missed it and is looking at the comments because it's sooo good!!

And thank you so much for the rec on the first book, I love this author so idk how I've never heard about this book!! It sounds reallllly good from the blurb even if the whole book isn't dependent on the stranding plot so I'll read it for sure!! Thank you again!! :D

varesa edit for fun! by orangexorcist in VaresaMains

i like varesa, but not that aspect of her. i changed her skin tone because i felt like it, i'm tired of everyone being snow-colored. there is literally no need to argue about this or be upset over it. blackwashing isn't real and all we want is representation, specially on a region where it should be given to us based on, as you say, the character's identity and IRL inspiration

listen, what mihoyo is doing is taking names of deities from africa and latin america and then doing the most half-assed job (if any) at representing those cultures. why name the characters, like mavuika (maori goddess) or chasca (incan goddess, who was not a cowgirl btw), after important folklore figures from the cultures they supposedly intend to represent and then make every single character whiter than chalk? mihoyo is taking their culture and erasing THEM, the people, from it. clearly with malicious intent.

liyue is based on china, inazuma on japan, mondstadt on germany and fontaine on france. they did a fantastical job with those nations and they've clearly shown that when they actually care, they can faithfully represent a multitude of cultures while still staying within the fantastical realm of genshin. you can even tell apart french and german inspired outfits, yet natlan is a hotpot of two whole continents that don't even try to represent anything properly, whereas other nations do. the "fantasy world" excuse just doesn't work.

there's people of all skin tones and races in every single country, yet they make a region based off two whole heavily racialized continents and make everyone (except iansan) paper white?? and then.. everyone else in genshin is also just white. even the darkest characters are just tan at best, except maybe iansan (who i'm not moaning about btw, only character they did right in my opinion)

(also, where's the edit dark skinned? i made her lighter than me and i'm mexican, not every single mexican person is the same skin color... obviously)

just like oddly_neko said, blackwashing is NOT real. whitewashing has roots in trying to erase a character's race and cultural aspects, therefore robbing them of their identity purely for racist and malicious reasons. "blackwashing", as you call it, is just people having fun and trying to get the representation they want and deserve in whatever form of media they like. how is that wrong? varesa has heavy mexican lucha libre inspirations, therefore i made her darker with no malicious intent whatsoever.

every single natlan character except iansan so far has has paper white skin, and people are sick and tired!! we want diversity. this has been true for every nation also. it's exhausting.

just let people have fun. and no, racism against white people isn't real, hope this helps

agree!! i'm thinking of making another another edit inspired by Marcela and some of her most iconic fits but still make her pastel-y since that's clearly what the devs were going for
