Hell Followed With Us by Joseph Andrew White mini review

What I liked:

Complex relationships

Fast-paced

It's gory

What I didn’t like

Repetitive inner monologues

Weak side characters

Overall, it was one of the best ya books I read in a while. It’s violent and cruel, and it doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. Recommending for anyone looking for a horror book!

j'ai l'intention de lire tout ces livres un jour ou l'autre, l'ordre seulement est en question.

il y a une réponse incorrecte et c'est du côté de chez swann. j'ai déjà lu les trois mousquetaires et madame bovary, mais seulement en anglais. j'ai regardé le film hiroshima mon amour, et j'ai lu quelque poèmes des fleurs du mal. quant au reste, je n'en connais pas grand'chose.

you can vote in this if you don't speak french btw. roman=novel, scénario=screenplay, poésie=poetry, pièce de théâtre=play, dictionnaire des synonymes=thesaurus, ouvrage de référence=reference work, roman-mémoire=autobiographical novel

People on here are always talking about Tzimisce fleshcrafters as Vampire Gender Affirming Surgeons but no one ever once mentioned to me that that’s explicitly a canon Thing Thin-Blood Alchemists Can Do??

I love ao3 as the next person, but I'm on germanys side when they banned it, because of the sheer amount of child pornography on the site. (Mind you they distinguish between child (under 14) and youth pornography (14-18), so we're talking VERY young)

I do appreciate that there's a space for people to write freely about whatever they want, and the tags do allow you to avoid fics you don't want to read about, but I still feel sick about what some people write about.

Because why, why are people writing about 4 year olds getting r/ped in graphic detail? Why are people READING about that? What made you look at the tags and think "oh yeah, THAT'S entertainment" ????

Like, sorry, but the only possible reason I can think of is that the people behind it are actually sick and read this because it's arousing to them.

Nowhere on the internet can people post cp so freely, without it literally being illegal.

The fact that tags like "extremely underage" are widely used, is SICKENING. And I know that the site was literally created for writing sick shit, but where does this cross a line? Is it impossible to cross a line on this website?

Being aromantic and finding that out in ur 20s is soooooooo funny bc I met the 3 people I consider my soulmates (one of whom is now my qpp) in october of 2016, and both before and after this i dated a few people but as i grew closer and closer w this group and also came into my gender and sexuality over the yrs, id sometimes wonder why i didnt crave romantic fulfillment anymore, and not fantasize about having a long term bf or anything. It didn't really worry me? Like, I wasn't concerned about it, but I would go like huh wonder what's up w that. Oh well not my problem!, every now and then

And then thru making friends w a bunch of arospec folks I was finally like oohhhhhhhh it's because my emotional fulfillment needs are already met and these people and our friendship is an intrinsic part of my being and i love them more than i can ever hope to describe. Got it!

ok genuine question i do want your guys' opinions on this

do you think it's worth it for me as a high schooler to read all of narnia when i haven't read it before? is it the kind of book that's only enjoyable if you read it as a kid so when you put on the nostalgia glasses it gets good again? or is it actually worth reading even when i'm older

for some perspective — i love PJO but i would never recc it to someone who hasnt read it by high school because it's just not the right age range anymore. that's the kinda perspective i have rn

when u have the time hoc can u tell me more about ospreys :o i think we have some by where i live but i dont know very much ab them

*rubs hands* if you wish...

Ospreys are the only (living) member of the family Pandionidae and genus Pandion. The etymological origins of "osprey" remain obscure, but they're often referred to as "Pandion haliaetus", haliaetus being a mix of the greek roots for sea and eagle.

Which is basically what they are! They're the only hawks that eat fish (they can eat other prey too. Actually there are recorded mentions of ospreys eating a deer because they were hungry). But that alone has made them evolve in such interesting ways they can't really compare. They have closable nostrils. They have reversible toes (only owls can do that). They have a 70% range of success (other hawks can have ONE IN TWELVE success rate, for comparison). There is also this thing which I just learnt but I find it funny.

They also migrate. Seeing you're from the US you have haliaetus carolinensis in your area, those migrate to South America (unless you're in California or Florida because the climate is Just Right for them there and they can't be bothered to leave). Other than that they're creatures of habit- there are osprey nests that are still being used that have over 60 years. Nobody bothers trying to find a new one if you have one right here from dead great great uncle Bill right next to you lol.

They also mate for life! But as with most hawks there are instances of switching mates and even multiple mates. It happens rarely though, which has lead to multiple cultures, such as the Chinese, to see them as a symbol of fidelity.

They're actually one of the most difficult birds to train according to most falconers. Which is ironic because they're also absolute failures and the #1 natural reason for osprey death is them DROWNING before catching the fish.

Have this image from my favourite falconry book of all time. This was the exact moment when little hoc suddenly fell in love with ospreys
