Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson. Adventures in the Scottish Highlands.

Queen Demon by Martha Wells. Always love Martha Wells' emotionally repressed protagonist voice. Is it wrong that my favorite part of this was the feral, claw-hooved omnivorous Arike horses? <3

In TV, I re-watched Arrow (season 1) and yes it is a silly show but I do really enjoy season 1 where Oliver is just going around shooting people with arrows and we get the Slade and Oliver relationship before everything goes fully insane. I watched the show for them and then season 2 betrayed me so bad! Literally considering a sequel to my now 8-year-old season 1 AU fic where everyone lives and stays friends. Also, shout out to Chris GM51 who collected the flashback scenes into a YouTube playlist so I can just watch the backstory.

Aww, Arrow S1! Blast from the past! I also adored the early stuff with Felicity, they were so charming together.

Oliver and Felicity were so wholesome. Meanwhile I'm over here focused on Oliver and Slade who spend a season basically trying to kill each other lol

You are entirely valid, they had a fascinating dynamic and a ton of chemistry! I am just weak for banter lol.

I loove all the early season 1 where Felicity doesn't 100% know Oliver is the Hood yet but he keeps bringing her increasingly weird stuff to research with idiotic reasoning. Like the 'I need you to analyze this "electrolyte drink"' and he hands her the Vertigo and she's like 'whyy is it in a syringe' and he's like 'I ran out of sports bottles..' is peak dynamic to me

I also loved the horses with claws :)

They are so cool! I became immediately attached to them :)
