Worm Is One Of The Few Pieces Of Media To Properly Show Why Its A Terrible Idea To Talk To Cops, And

i can legally be a prime number have a quick wolfspider 🥳

The thing about Alexandria’s death, right, is that I’m not sure if it’s, like, possible? If Skitter could literally have pulled that off given how their respective powers work, or whether you can justify Alexandria having lasted this long at all without someone pulling off something similar. It’s been a while since I’ve read Cell, and I should probably read it again.

 But I’m inclined to be charitable because of all the other levels on which it works very very well thematically. Skitter meeting (and killing) the woman she once looked up to the most, albeit at a distance and as a civilian. Skitter killing the personification of everything she’s come to hate about Authority, but then functionally taking her place as the person in authority strongarming and killing to advance the goal of saving the world. Skitter going apeshit because of how strongly Alexandria’s behavior maps onto the kind of person she hates most in the world, going apeshit because she believes her friends are being murdered, and at the end of the day, what else does she care about? Skitter consciously choosing not to rescind the kill order her bugs are carrying out before she passes out. On that note, the fact that Skitters bugs can operate independently of her, and that she’s abnormally difficult to read due to offloading her emotional reactions into her swarm, both coming back with a vengeance in a chekov’s gun kinda way. I like everything surrounding the killing! And I like everything that spills out from it. So if the killing itself does not work I Do Not See It.

texas is funny. this one time a guy(in his truck) yelled at me(outside)(in summer) for wearing a cowboy hat(to provide shade)(while working)(in the sun) while i was working in the garden (in summer)(in texas)(on a sunny day)

sorry i’m a #FakeCowboy for wearing a cowboy hat(in the summer)(in the sun)(while working)(in a garden) instead of wearing my cowboy hat(meant for working)(in the sun) while driving a truck(air-conditioned) like a #RealCowboy who does Manly Work (with his truck)(spotless)(unblemished)(with AC)

kick the jesse :)

i think after taylor first joined the undersiders when alec was teasing brian abt a hypothetical romance brian was like "Haha nah man she's not my type" and alec was like "lol ok what is your type then." at which point brian realizes that he's been too busy being the world's first 17yo 50yo twice-divorced single father who has never dated anyone to spend literally any time thinking about girls, but he doesn't want to admit that he doesn't know what his type is because it would make him sound gay, and despite it all, he is in fact a 17yo boy who really doesn't want to sound gay.

so he starts immediately stream of thought making something up but the entire time he's just thinking "hmm it would have to be someone who's ok with aisha living with me and she'd have to be responsible and good at vacuuming and..." so alec is just sitting there feeling more and more certain that there's something deeply, unfixably wrong with brian while brian describes karen, 41 from accounting, smooth liquidation, good dividents, at citibank they will meet accidentally, they'll start to talk when she borrows his pen,

New story, new Tattletale🖤🤍💜

OBSESSED with how Ward dives into Tats and how she’s changed since GM. Get this woman some industrial strength excedrin and a therapist please

Also just got to her interlude in my read through and lord, love me some good Ace rep. We do not get enough and I love her story’s subsequent focus on other types of bonds (familial/platonic). Anyway: she!

Dungeon Meshi...AH! Dungeon Meshi!

Thoughts on Pale arc one:

People seemed to like my posts about Pale, so here are my thoughts after finishing the first arc:

Oh my god, I did not know that this was a horror story. I thought this was urban fantasy + murder mystery and a lighter break from the author’s usual stuff. 1.z was one of the most tense things I’ve ever read. The devouring song was so wonderfully creepy and the ritual really felt unwinnable. Despite that I still expected Gabe to survive tho and the moment he threw up I was so shocked and had to stop reading for a bit.

That out of the way; I fucking love this story and I would be surprised, if this isn’t my favourite book, when I finish reading it. The characters, the dialogue, the worldbuilding, the magic and the pacing are all fucking amazing.

From the protagonists Verona is my favorite so far; she is so great: She is a weird loner who hates work and people (so relatable). Is she aromantic or just a depressed teenager with attachment issues? I don’t know and neither does she seemingly (very relatable). She doesn’t feel totally human and wants to leave all of her humanity behind (so very relatable (look I said it three times; it’s a curse now)).

Im binging arc two now.
