Not really a short story but we read Between the World and Me which I still think about a lot
We need to be more focused on fucked up short stories as a society. We've all read the yellow wallpaper, the lottery, lamb to the slaughter in middle school but then we never talk about fucked up short stories outside of "haha remember when Ms Johnson made us read that story about the lady killing her husband with a leg of lamb then feeding the murder weapon to the police?"
That ends today!! Appreciation for fucked up short stories time!! Comment your favourite weird story your English teacher made you read that still sticks with you to this day PLEASE I need to read more fucked up short stories
I'll start- the veldt by ray Bradbury, rappachini's garden by nathaniel hawthorne, and this one is a little bit of a cheat because it's a graphic novel but The Nesting Place by Emily Carroll still haunts me (every story in her through the woods collection really, but nesting place especially)
I just made the nastiest meal known to mankind
My greatest pleasure in life is mixing up sport terms with other sport terms to fuck with people. Like in basketball, “oh he scored a touchdown!!” In football, “oh so does he get a free throw now?” In soccer, “wait why didn’t the ref stop him for traveling?” In track, “so there’s no red cards?” It’s really too much fun and you can keep on going
I’m watching this series called Unbelievable on Netflix about a girl who was SA’d and people start to believe she made it up. Her previous foster mom talks to the detective, and she’s basically the first one to cast doubt which makes me hate her so much. She says that the girl had a past of acting out, she literally says “look-at-me behavior”. It enrages me so much because the girl should have been able to trust her. The whole show makes me enraged.
I’m watching volume 7 of RWBY and I 100% ship Qrow and Clover. The opposite powers, the tension, and the vibes. I love them and if either of them die I will cry enough to water a tree
Was talking about Pride and Prejudice with my friend and I haven’t seen it so I asked what it was about, and she said it was about a woman with pride and a man with prejudice.
I have never wanted to punch her more.
I’m watching The Incredibles 2 and Elastigirl said she had a Mohawk so now I’m asking someone please please please please please draw this.
I need a fic where Billy and Chrissy are accidental running buddies and just like best friends. Like obviously they bump into each other on accident at first, but then they start talking about music and hyping each other up. And then they hang out outside of running and he tells her jason is no good or whatever. And like everyone is surprised they’re friends and they’re just like platonic soulmates
