Visitors before sunset

Running through a jungle without knowing where to go is not very funny! But I think I've shaken off the strange animal. In any case, I don't hear any creepy panting anymore. First sit down and rest … Oh man, if only I wasn't still so hungry!

What a lucky guy I am! I have found some sweet fruit. They grow in an area where there is also a small lake with a waterfall and mushrooms as big as trees! It's really cool here. But … I think this animal is following me again, at least I can hear something. I wonder if I should stay here!

Okay, now I've had enough! Who's hiding in the bushes and wants to eat me for dinner? I made myself a bow and arrow today, with a sticky fruit on the tip of the arrow. Whoever or whatever is lurking in the bushes should just come out and try to attack. I'm ready!

Book Review: The Gravity of Us by Phil Stamper

First off, I need to say how much I love the cover design for this book. It's stunning. (And excellent chapter formatting, too!)

Okay, now that that is out of the way, onto what I think about this book.

I loved it. I love how Stamper helps release the stigma of mental health. This book deals with some pretty severe mental health issues, and it shows us that it's okay not to be okay. Cal handles Leon's depression and his mother's anxiety very well for a teen his age. Learning about this subject from Cal's perspective is very important to readers of all ages.

As for the story, it was adorable. I do think that Cal and Leon fall in love a little too fast, however. But, I will say that I do find it believable that they fall for each other in the time that passed. It was cute watching their relationship grow. I also love that they got together early on so that we could see them as a couple more often. A lot of books I read have the characters get together only near the end, and then we have like maybe a chapter or two of them being cute and couple-ly together. Which, if written well, is still cute. I just like seeing characters together for longer than a few chapters. (Even in a slow-burn. It's possible! Look at my novel, SOUTH, as an example).

I will say, Stamper really did have me believe that Flash Fame was a real app. It's not, apparently. I looked it up in the app store, and it wasn't there. But it should be an app. And Cal's reporting style is something we need more of in today's media. I'd totally watch him. He low-key reminded me of Philip Defranco if he went live instead of recorded shows.

All in all, this was a great read with a cute couple. We need more queer Astrokids.

Astrokid really thought they cooked with this one.

While I do agree that Mary could have been fleshed out more and that it could be some subconscious bias, I think you’re looking too much into it, G. Grizzly always writes extensive backstories with a lot of side characters that the DMs don’t get to sometimes. There was a male football player npc in Kian’s backstory (same relevance as his ex-girlfriend because he was an ex-boyfriend) and he was never brought up in the campaign. Sometimes characters just get forgotten when they’re filming, I don’t think it’s misogynistic. They forget about a lot of relevant shit because there’s a lot of info.

Also, your opinion about Edward being funnier as a girl and being played by a girl is an opinion. I think he’s funnier as a guy because he epitomizes Edward from Twilight better and is playing off the stupid, toxic masculinity and male creepiness that Edward is to make a villain. Maybe he would be cool as a girl, maybe in your opinion he would be better, but it’s not fact that male Edward being a character is misogynistic or less funny.

This entire conversation was this person making some valid points to you and you deflecting and saying “well idrc” and “it was lighthearted” when you clearly do care. I don’t think you’re a radfem or towing the line, but I do think that you’ve been watching a lot of video essays about valid misogyny and implanting it into any media you see.

That’s not to say jrwi has never had misogyny. It has. But I don’t think this is what you think it is.

mary davis and vanya hemlocke would play VERY different roles if they had a woman playing them...just saying one perception check for vanya would making the world of difference.

just saying if mary didnt run up to a grimslayer and get unlucky would make a world of differnece.

just saying, mary wouldve been more upset at arthur and wouldve brought up him going away for trying to kill vanya (literally running to another woman) IM JUST SAYING!!! IM JUST SAYING!!!

and edward twilight would be a woman if a woman was running the suckening and i would love to see her one day..IM JUST SAYING!!!

A TRIO.

[chaoticrystal]

actually, fun fact about him, back in his homestuck/undertale days, he did occasionally show up in public!!

he was a big part of the hs music team, and most of the pictures of him are with other music team members

he usually goes by the pseudonym "radiation"

also here's a sick video: he jumps in on musician eric "jit" sheele's playing to duet megalovania.

kinda like tony hawk, he'd be hard to recognize out of context, so he's pretty safe I think

also pictured here is him dressed as dave strider in a music team photo :)

I love Toby Fox’s absolute dedication to not being a public figure. He made what a lot of people consider to be one of the best videogames of all time, raked in a bunch of awards, and then promptly fucked off and kept his mouth shut. He tweets once every several months. He won’t appear in public without a mask. We do not, to my knowledge, have a single photo of him. He’s finally going to do some commentary over his work for Undertale’s anniversary, and he will only do it via text-to-speech. An utter refusal to concede even an inch on maintaining his privacy. King shit.

Hi yes I've been catching up on the show since my last ask and I am decidedly a Nora stan 4 life. She did not have to go THAT hard on the scorpion.

Oh, Nora is a DELIGHT and she continues to get better and better lolol

fun fact! She’s based off of Thor! every character is based off a story/person and hers is Thor

her semblance is VERY fun and you get to see it in volume 3 ;)
