TJ Klune keeps asking, “what if a real life disney prince fell in love with the human equivalent of a wet paper bag?”

And I keep reading to find out the answer

Still thinking about how a lot of asexual characters in media are like... aliens or robots or some other Non Human Entity™️ and how In The Lives Of Puppets by TJ Klune was like "actually fuck you the one human is the asexual one!! :)" like YESSSSS 🎉😭🥳

it’s very stupid but i feel very safe talking about my passions here on tumblr. i mean twitter is fun and chaotic but in here there’s a sense of comradeship, almost like a “oh hey i know this things you’re saying you love, i love it too. here’s a funny comment about it that will leave you giggling and spiraling because how could you not think of that before????” and it’s funny because i have like 3 followers and i have this account for YEARS lmao (and i still feel seen i love that for me

if tj klune can do one thing its write a middle aged man whos unhappy with his job (but doesnt know it) has a lonely unfufilling life, and wears mostly suits; then send him to a completely new place where he meets a weird eccentric guy who has a weird house with a bunch of weird people in it (old man yaou)

he's looking at Linus 👀👀

[ID: a digital drawing of Arthur Parnassus who stands with one foot propped provocatively on a stool as he looks down and away from the viewer. His wings of fire are out and lighting his body. One hand rests on his lifted leg as his chest (with visible top surgery scars) is turned slightly towards the viewer. The only thing he's wearing are a pair of blue socks with clouds. End ID]

I DONT NEED YOU TO BE AN EXTRAORDINARY NICKY NOT WHEN YOURE ALREADY EXTRAORDINARY TO ME

[ipredictcats]

this line that linus constantly comes back to is all i think about now that i live by the sea side. and i get it, i completely understand, how everything far away seems romantic and beautiful and if only i could be there, in the ideal, and not here, in the mundane, things would be fine. but it's not the place, it's never the place.

I loved in the lives of puppets so much, but I do just have thoughts! Like idve loved to have seen more development of their new home at the end, but also it wasn’t a bad length. I think the thing I’d really have liked to see would be a longer journey in the first half. What do they discover on their trek? More fleshing out of the world would be neat. More time for Hap and Victor to develop a relationship maybe? I’m not gonna say I dislike how it actually was written, I’m just musing. I do, however, quite like the way the ending leaves things open; especially since one of the big things Victor decided for himself is that he isn’t the savior of mankind or god or anything like that. We can assume they eventually start to engineer more humans, but he doesn’t make it his burden to remake humanity, he just focuses on being alive and with those he loves and being human and all that. Will he fall victim to the same mistakes as his blood before him? Maybe, maybe not, but he wants to be better than those that came before him. Alright I’m gonna end this tangent here. All in all, loved it, totally recommend it. Are there bits where I’m like “hmm idk if I love the pacing/plot choices here” but it’s not early enough to break my immersion.

Edit: I am once again shifting some opinions and I do actually agree that I would’ve liked to see more about what happened to like,,, all of robot society after the Big Ol’ Wipe, like I kind of went with the way it was written like sure but also like,,, a little more even just like thought on it from victor might’ve been nice? Like there are a lot of implications there and like he does weigh that decision like was that right of him to do, but I think it’d’ve been worth taking more time to explore.

Hell followed with us has taken over my brain. I want a beaded lizard so bad. The autistic rep in this book was a little too relatable in some places, it made me realize that I have infact gone non-verbal before. Also the religious trauma💫. I didn't grow up in the same church in the book but its also a high demand Christian church.

I need to shove this book in everyone's face. It was on my to read list for almost a year before my friend told me to actually read jt.

Im.about to annotate my copy so much, mostly just highlighting my favorite parts. I'm so exited for Andrew Joseph White's next book to come out.

Reading In the Lives of Puppets just reminds me of how much I’d rather be reading Under the Whispering Door
