Jesus grinding on a stick, just got offered an administrative post in my dept, turned it down so fast I nearly catched flames.

There is no way I can handle that, I will crash and burn after a year of that kind of work TOPS.

Been in that boat before, didn't like the ride.

I... suppose that fits this site.

Trisha Paytas meme. And something about eternal life. Sure.

I love chapter 30. The formatting is impactful.

One short sentence. Lengthy footnote.

It happened so quickly, and the aftermath lasted for so long. Like dust refusing to settle. Like waves still rippling. Like giant chasm of an impact with its edges crumbling around it.

Well I'll be damned, I was wrong. The bastard didn't lie, mostly. He did omit some details, but overall? Surprisingly true.

Guess that shows what I know.

Some spoilers about Hermes incident in the middle of the book under cut

So Lovell tearfully tells Robin the story how Griffin killed poor innocent brilliant Evie buy detonating a silver bar with chinese matchpair, and I smell bullshit. Not only because this man never cried before, but because we know that Griffin is Shit at silverworking, and didn't even get into the program. We SAW him fail to make invisibility bar work in the very beginning.

Lovell is full of shit. I wouldn't be surprise if he killed Evie himself.

Robin is such a good protagonist. Not only because his train of thought and feelings are easy to follow and understand on a personal level, but also because he is Not Stupid.

Spoilers for ch. 21 under cut

When Prof. Playfair started dropping big hints and winking with both eyes that he was with Hermes I was DREADING that Robin would go stupid route and fall for it, because somehow I grew to expect that. But he didn't! And he navigated the situation very well, definitely better than I would have, and that elevates him in my eyes.

Are my standards too low? Who knows.

Negative amount of effort was put into this. Amazing.

Flabbergasted by this one. The sponsor, the text, the picture. What is going on.

Holy shit, the bastard is dead! And by the same bar, what a poetic turn.

Good job, Robin.

Mr Frank Close, I understand very well that for your non fiction incestigative book about Cold Fusion research you needed a catchy title, but maybe calling it Too Hot To Handle was not that great of a choice considering how many smut novels are called the same. Just sayin.

My body dysphoria is getting worse due to my weight situation, and since I already need to shift to better diet (i.e. being less indulgent in junk food) I'm goin to try replace my boredom spawned cravings with something that's stimulating in other aspect.

It's been a while since I held a pencil, so maybe I'll try doodling when those happen.

I love painkillers sooooo much

I would never have predicted I'd see making of a pipe bomb in a "worst wii games" video but here we are I guess

So is anyone else gonna sit with me in the fact that Curly, who has 0% OF HIS SKIN LEFT by the looks of it, is put into cryostasis....? Did they even think to test it on someone who had cuts or skin loss at the Pony Express??

Like.... imagine how much more being frozen alive would hurt if the nerves were even *more* exposed to the cold? Forget freezer burns, he'd be FROZEN TO THE GD CHAIR TONGUE-ON-A-POLE STYLE. I just can't help but think that, even at the end, Jimmy didn't gaf about Curly enough to think that far ahead. He just thought he did....

Or is this my cross to bare? qwq

That... actually went way better than I imagined. Crisis averted (for now).

Robin is about to go to fancy wine party with rich cohort, and I cannot express in words how terrified I am. The cringe, the mortification of secondhand embarrassment are doing a preemptive strike on me. I have to force my eyes back onto the page. This is humiliating.

Low key exploded on a coworker that I despise for professional reasons because they kept asking me the same question and refusing to accept the answer because it's not aligned with what they wanted to hear.

Low key fuck them, I don't regret it.
