if the title got your attention, you’re the right person to answer this question.

i’ve been inspired by the himbos quest and have been thinking of making a list of butch himbos but only have gideon nav in mind… any suggestions? can be in any and all genres! thank you all for your help with this urgent question <3

As many of us are, I'm gradually planning for and chipping away at my HRCYED and I am at an impasse that I need an assist on!

For the birthday challenge, I was born in a Year of the Horse. Here's the thing- I fuckin hate horses. They freak me out IRL, I've never understood the hype even as a child, they're too big and they're legit scary and people are too chill about them. I'm not a mean hater and they do have my respect- but from a distance because I don't fuck with them. So what book am I to read? I know if I leave it to figure out later, I'm going to put it off until the end and have to hate read a cowboy romance because I can't think of anything else.

Mostly, I'm curious about whether there are authors whose work you like that you would not want to spend time with.

For those I would want to spend time with, Virginia Woolf is easy, since she wrote my favorite book. I'd also like to spend time with Jane Austen and Shirley Jackson. I think they'd both be fun, and probably funny, company.

An for author whose work I like but I would not want to spend time with, I'll go with Lovecraft, who comes to mind because I'm re-reading some of his stuff. Between bigoted viewpoints and some of his other mental issues, it doesn't seem like he'd be much fun to be around. Not that Woolf didn't have some problems of her own but I think she'd be a fascinating person to be around whereas Lovecraft would not.
