[itzmshadow]

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THE OVERSEER PROBABLY FEELS- LIKE HE HAD TO WATCH AS THE STEVES BECAME WEALER AND WEAKER AND AND HE KNEW IT WAS BECAUSE OF ORGIN STEVE.

Like galaxy and Sabre didn't live through it but still suffered the horrible consequences of missing out on so much time- but like the overseer had to be there and live it-

THAT WOULD BE HORRIBLE- LIKE MAN- IMAGINE WATXHING THE PEOPLE YOU WATCHED FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE JUST BECOME WEAKER AND WEAKER- LIKE TALK ABOUT ANGST.

I think it should defintly have affected them more- and them show it.

I'm rewatching The Steve Saga because I remember that I never finished it-

BUT WHAT IS WITH THESE SOUL CRUSHING EPISODES?!?!

Like when origin steve was introduced Sabre and galaxy went to go defeat yeah THEY LOST GOT TRAPPED IN A BUBBLE OUTSIDE OF THE TIMELINE.

Sabre ends up in the spirity world and finds rainbow steve (I WAS CEUSHED DEAD THAT EPISODE LITERALLY HARMED ME. )

AND LIKE WHEN RAINBOW WAS LIKE "you know I can't leave here"

"How did you know I was gonna try and bring you out?-"

"Sabre.. how long have we been friends for"

MY HEART SHATTERED. IM SOBBING

AND NOW SABRE LEAVES ONLY TO FIGURE OUT HE WAS GONE FOR GENERATIONS.

He saw the purple steve in the spirit world and he realized he missed out on his adventure BECAUSE HE WAS AT THE END OF HIS JOURNEY. IM SOBBING.

Imagine going back to a world you thought would stay the same only to realize that the bad guy won and and and the world IS GENERATIONS AHEAD OF WHERE YOU LEFT IT.

this thing is CRUSHING ME

Book Review: Now and When

Rating: ★★★½☆

Blurb: Skyler Finch hates everything about Truman Alexander, pretentious debate geek and her sworn enemy. She does her best to avoid him and focus on the important stuff: friends, school, and her perfect boyfriend. They’re all wonderful, and the future is looking bright. Or is it?

For some unexplainable reason, Skyler's phone is sending her notifications from the future . . . a future in which, to her horror, she appears to be with Truman. She can’t let that happen. But trying to change the future means messing with the present, and what Skyler sees keeps shifting. Forced to work with Truman again and again, Skyler finds that people—like glitchy phones—are full of surprises.

I have mixed feelings. I ended up liking this book, but I'm not quite sure it was worth it the frustration. This is just, at its heart, a frustrating book.

The main character is like "I can't believe I'm so drawn to this guy who's not my boyfriend! Maybe me and my boyfriend aren't as good together as I thought. Maybe I really like this other guy." And you're like, "So you can hold off kissing the new guy until you've dealt with the boyfriend situation, right?" And she's like "Oh no I absolutely cannot. That's a no go. I will be kissing him now." And you're like "That's what I thought you'd say, you typical YA high school plot."

Despite how much I dislike the "cheating out of sheer inability to resist this other person" trope, I think the book handles it pretty well. You can feel Skyler's guilt, and you get the sense of her relationship going downhill even before anybody else gets involved. It's not a great plot line to me and I enjoyed it more once that drama had been resolved, but I don't think it's badly written.

Truman himself is convincingly dislikable when necessary without being an asshole, which is kind of outstanding—so often "enemies to lovers" books have a love interest who was truly cruel to the main character and treat it as a quirky "they are equally to blame!" situation. This isn't that. This book is like hey, they both have reasons to think the other one is aggravating and mean, but neither of them have ever tried to assault, humiliate, or otherwise ruin the other's life. And I'm like cool, I can deal. I am also very inclined toward this kind of "love arguing with this person so much that I might just have to kiss them about it" dynamic, so that’s fun.

I like how the future social media aspect was handled. For example, how the stuff Skyler can see goes beyond instagram to linked webpages, and that how well those webpages are organized and maintained says as much about the future as the photos on them.

I am also always here for complex female friendships! Skyler is often motivated by what her friends want and what she thinks they need, which is a cool part of the book, and one I don’t see a whole lot. But I also had some issues here.

Skyler’s friend Harper gets a decent amount of development and is pretty compelling—she's dealing with depression, recovering from self harm, trying to go back to normal life while everyone else can't stop walking on egg shells around her. She gets to be three-dimensional, sweet and determined and sad and tired. Their friend Jordan, on the other hand, isn't as developed, and I feel like there was a dropped plot line here. Her and Skyler's friction, partly driven by their different ways of coping with Harper's self harm that happened before the book began, seems like it must be driven by more than that, because she gets annoyed by things about Skyler that are completely unrelated. For that reason, I feel like they needed more conflict resolution than the scene about all three of them, because I think there was more, between just her and Skyler, that needed to be addressed.

I look back on the book with much more good to say than bad, but it was just not the most enjoyable reading experience for me.

According to the Internet, this thing doesn't exist.

I couldn't find the listing on the Amazon app, where my mom most likely got it. Going to Google and finding the Amazon listing that way, I found that it's not available anymore.

Wealers has a site, but they don't even sell skateboards. Did they once? No idea. It's mostly camping gear now.

I used Google Lens, and the only board that shows up in this color combination is made by Penny. No Wealers ones to be found.

This makes me think of that one person I saw on YouTube who ended up with an Aibo prototype in their possession, handwritten serial label and all. Like, I wonder if I somehow ended up with the testing prototype or the model that they used to make their molds.

I wonder how much I can get for this on eBay.

So, I got a skateboard for Christmas. Been meaning to learn how to ride one for a while, and my mom chose a purple one for me.

Pretty neat. I like purple. Riding is gonna take a bit of practice, but whatever.

But I became confused as Hell when I opened it and...

I got a board somehow reminiscent of both Barbie, and an axolotl.

The fact that it's not even a selectable option on the box like some kind of cryptid just reminds me of @biggest-gaudiest-patronuses.

Also, here's the helmet in all its clashy glory:

Purchase from Indiebound

There's something about Truman Alexander that Skyler Finch finds incredibly annoying. Actually, several things: his voice (grating), his arrogance (total know-it-all), his debate-team obsession (eyeroll), and his preppy vibe (does he iron his shorts?). She does her best to avoid him and focus on the important stuff: friends, school, and her boyfriend, Eli. His promposal was perfect--just like he is--and the future is looking bright. Or is it?

For some unexplainable reason, Skylar's phone is sending her notifications from the future . . . a future in which, to her horror, she appears to be with Truman. As in, romantically. As in, Skyler cannot let that happen. But trying to change the future means messing up the present, and what Skyler sees keeps shifting. Classmates disappear and reappear, swap partners and futures. Turns out there are no actions without reactions, and life doesn't come with a road map. But sometimes the wandering leads you exactly where you need to be, and people--like glitchy phones--are full of surprises.

Something strange is happening with Skyler Finch’s phone: it’s sending her notifications from the near-future, in which she’s apparently dating Obsessed-with-the-Sound-of-His-Own-Voice Truman Alexander.

Glamorous, moonlit parties fill Lou’s nights, and thoughts of Robert fill her days. But is a high-society life what Lou actually wants?

The bestselling author of Genuine Fraud and We Were Liars returns with a love story that spans the multiverse.

Yongsun taking care of sick Wheein

Wheein fell sick again. She was having a bad flu this time. It was a week since having a cold. Her imunite system has gotten wealer since she started to get anxious. It felt like she was chained to the bed. If it wasn't for Yongsun she wouldn't even move.

Yongsun was an angel. She took care of Wheein through all of her sickness. She made herbal tea for her, holding her hair when she needed to puke, cooking for her, tucking her in and cuddling her.

They just had lunch and now they're laying in Wheein's bed. Wheein had her head on Yongsun's shoulder, her arm around Yong's middle. Solar moved Wheein closer, kissing her forehead and checking if she still had fever.

"Are you feeling any better, Wheeinie?" She smiled, showing her dimple to the older women.

"I am, thanks to you unnie."
