kay so im currently reading good girl, bad blood in anticipation of the AGGGTM tv show coming out soon and i Have tm to share my findings...

(mild spoilers under the cut but they aren't even really spoilers but oh well)

im just going to rewrite the quote because it actually had me howling with laughter at a dead tree.

(in chapter 9)

[Ravi has handed Pip a Coco pops cereal bar]. "Eat that please, madam. Now."

Pip shot him a look of surrender and unpeeled the crackling wrapper.

"Breakfast of kings, that is," said Ravi, "Nice and softened by my arse-heat."

I love this book so fucking much! I haven't laughed at a book this hard possibly ever

Rewrite of one of my favorite few pages including Stanley in Ggbb💖 (To clarify this isn't all my original work, this is a page I'm copying from the book and including parts in) ⚠️Spoilers warning⚠️

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Is Stanley Forbes in?" asked Pip. "He should be." The woman finally located the correct key and slit it into the lock. "We've got the write-up of the memorial to sort out before we print today, so Stanley asked me to come in and help." She opened the door. "After you." She said, and Pip stepped over the threshold into the small front room.

"I'm pip." she said, following the woman as they passed two tired sofas and headed for the back office. "Yes, I know who you are," the woman said, shrugging off her jacket. And then, in a slightly less frosty tone: "I'm Mary, Mary Scythe." "Pleased to meet you, again." Pip said, which wasn't exactly true. She figured Mary was one of those people who blamed Pip for all "The Trouble" last year in their nice, quaint town. Mary pushed the door, revealing a small, square room, four computer desks lining its walls, as tight and claustrophobic as Pip remembered it. Guess that's what you got for a tiny town newspaper that ran mostly on donations from the family living in that mansion up Beecher Road.

Stanley Forbes was sitting at the desk against the far wall, his back to them, his dark brown hair in unkempt clumps, presumably from where his finders had tunneled through. He paid them no attention, leaning towards his desktop screen, which, judging by rhea white-and-dark-blue stripes, was on Facebook.

"Hi Stanley," Pip said softly. He didn't turn. In fact, he hadn't moved at all, still scrolling down the page. He hadn't heard her. "Stanley?" she tried again. Nothing, not even a flinch. He wasn't wearing headphones, was he? She couldn't see any. "Honestly," Mary scoffed, "he does this all the time. Has the most selective hearing I've ever come across. Tunes the whole world out. I have no idea how (y/n) likes him or can even stand to be around him as much as they are. Hey Stan!" She barked that last part, and finally Stanley looked up, spinning in his chair to face them. "Oh sorry, were you talking to me?" he said, his green-brown eyes jumping from Mary to settle on Pip, head perking up at the mention of that name.

"No one else in the room," Mary said irritably. "Wait (y/n) likes me?" Stanley said swinging from side to side in his chair with a coy smile on his face watching Mary as she walked away dropping her handbag against the desk farthest from Stanley's. "Hi," Pip said again, walking over to him, crossing the distance in just four large steps.

"H-hello," Stanley said, getting to his feet. He held out his hand apparently to shake hers, but then evidently changed his mind and drew it back, then changed his mind again and re-extended the hand with an embarrassed laugh leaving Mary holding back a laugh across the room wondering if this is how he flirted with (y/n). He probably didn't know how the appropriate way to greet Pip, given their fraught history and her being eighteen while he was at least in his late twenties.

"Sorry," Stanley said, returning the awkward hand to his side. It wasn't just the Singhs he'd apologized to; Pip had also received a letter from Stanley a few months ago. In other he'd apologized for the way he'd talked down to her and for Becca Bell taking Pip's number from his phone and using it to threaton Pip. He hadn't known at the time, but he was still sorry. Pip wondered how sincere he really was. "What can I...," Stanley began. "What do you-"

"I know the memorial will probably take up a lot of room in tomorrow's paper. But could you make space for this? I'm trying to spread the word to everyone in town." Pip dropped her backpack so she could take out the reserved Missing poster. She handed it over, watching Stanley read, his eyes furrowed and a hollow burrowing into his cheek as he chewed it from the inside. "Missing is he?" He looked down again. "Jamie Reynolds."

"Know him?"

"Don't think so," Stanley said. "Might recognize the face. Is he from Fairview?" "Yep. Family live on Cedar Way. Jamie went to Fairview high, with Andie and Sal."

"Missing since when?" he asked. "It says there." Pip's voice rose impatiently. Mary's chair creaked as she leaned closer to listen in, interested in the different than normal (y/n) rambling topic. "Last seen around eight o'clock at the memorial, until I learn more about his movements. I saw you taking photos, could you email those to me?" "Er, yes OK. Police?" asked Stanley. "A missing persons report has been filed," Pip replied "Polive response is nonexistent right now. So it's just me. That's why I need your help." She smiles, pretending like she didn't resent having to ask.

"Missing since the memorial?" Stanley thought oloud. "That's only, like, a day and a half, right? "Thirty-seven and a half hours," Pip said. "That's not very long, is it?" He lowered the poster. "Missing is nissing" she countered. "And the first seventy-two hours are critical, especially if you suspect foul play." "Do you?" "Yes," she said. "The family does too. So will you help? Can you print that notice tomarrow?" Stanley looked up for a moment, eyes spooling as he considered it. "Suppose I can move the article about potholes until next week." "Is that a yes?" Pip said. "Yes I'll make sure it goes in." He nodded, tapping the poster. "Though I'm sure he'll turn up OK." "Thank you, Stanley." She returned his polite smile. "I really appreciate that." She pivoted on her heels ro leave, but Stanley's voice stopped her before she reached the door.

"Mysteries always seem to find their way to you, don't they?"

LOOK AT MA BF😭👉👈💖 Comments and reblogs are appreciated but not expected!💖

Can we just talk abt the scene in ggbb where ravi saw pip covered in stanleys blood and ran over to her.

Like im imagining him squeezing through the crowd after he saw the fire, and when he wasn’t able to find pip imagine how panicked he probs felt bc he probs thought smth happened to her. And then imagine the relief he felt when he saw she was alive but then the relief being washed over with panic again when he saw the blood on pip, stanley’s body, the grass covered in blood, and how terrified pip looked.

I've been thinking about AGGGTM ships again. This series isn't meant to be ship heavy (as it should be, because I barely survived the shipping madness from HSMTMTS) but I love writing about both the canon + non-canon couples. So I've decided to talk about ships I've seen for AGGGTM in this post because I have uni assigments due and I wanna procrastinate.

Disclaimer: These are just ships I've seen on Instagram or Twitter. My opinion is my opinion and if you don't like it, then just move on. This is only gonna be non-canon pairings so don't expect PipRavi or JamieNat here (because I ship those and this is only about non-canon pairings).

Pippa Fitz-Amobi/Connor Reynolds: eh... I can kind of see it. I see it in the sense of them being childhood crushes that fade in a week. Connor did canonically have a crush on Pip in book 1 that faded after book 1 (it wasn't mentioned again). They wouldn't have anything long-term as they're better off friends.

Jamie Reynolds/Stanley Forbes: This ship has four fics on AO3 and I've actually enjoyed them. I'm personally more of a JamieNat shipper but this one is pretty cute. I see it as Stanley being Jamie's bi awakening (I hc Jamie as being bi). They'd be cute if you know... Stanley didn't die.

Ant Lowe/Connor Reynolds: UH NO FUCKING WAY. Even if we're going based off book 1, they'd still be awful because of how Ant acted in the series. He was so disrespectful towards Connor when he pulled that prank in Kill Joy, knowing that they were running on limited time. He's also so nasty towards Connor in Good Girl, Bad Blood when Jamie went missing. I can't even imagine these two working out in an alternate timeline because I fucking despise Ant Lowe. Fuck Ant Lowe I hope Jamie beat his ass when he found out about how he treated Pip and Connor during his disappearance.

Cara Ward/Lauren Gibson: I really like this ship! I'm still not Lauren's biggest fan (she reminds me of a former friend), but I think the show might change that since Ant's not there. Asha and Yali have lovely chemistry from what we've seen in their posts. I also feel like Lauren having a sapphic arc would be better than that Ant/Lauren nonsense. Seriously, wtf was that???

Zach Chen/Connor Reynolds: YES YES YES YES. If you follow me, then you know how much I love this ship (I created their AO3 tag btw). They would be so cute together! I kinda feel like Connor had a little crush on Zach in the book (he was acting pretty secretive about where he was after the memorial in ggbb. Like dude, nobody cares if you were playing Fortnite with Zach. Is there something else you're not telling us???). I would love for them to make them canon in the show (especially since Zach is there... and why would you add him but cut Ant?), but it's unlikely.

Pippa Fitz-Amobi/Max Hastings: EWWW DISGUSTING. IF YOU FUCKING SHIP THIS GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU WEIRDO 🤮 (Yes, this is a real ship I've seen when looking through the ship tags on ao3 😭).

That's all I can think of. Some of these were fine... except Ant/Connor and Pip/Max. Anyways bye! - Em <333

More Reynolds family headcannons. Btw i love your blog sm.

Hi, anon. Thank you so so so much. I hope you enjoy these:

So someone reminded my dumb ass that Joanna (Connor’s mother) does have a daughter named Zoe that I totally forgot about.

We don’t know much about Zoe, except that she agreed with her father that nothing was wrong with Jamie. So she’s definitely a daddy’s girl who believes that emotions misguides people’s judgment.

I think this causes a distance between her and her mother & brothers who are very sensitive and sentimental.

Despite that, I think she still loves them all dearly (especially Jamie who is closest to her in age).

When Jamie returned home at the end of ggbb, she called home and the moment she heard Jamie’s voice through the phone speaker, she bursted into tears.

“You idiot! Don’t scare me like that ever again!”

Zoe & Jamie definitely used to terrorize and embarrass Connor in front of his friends.

“It’s our duty, as the older siblings.”

Arthur (Connor’s father), despite rarely showing emotions, cried the first time he held his babies.

Joanna and Arthur definitely married for love, but I think that love started to fade with the years. Jamie going missing then getting him back, was definitely the thing that reignited that love.

Since they got Jamie back, Arthur would take Joanna on dates every week. He says it’s to compensate for all the time he let their love get cold.

Zoe’s first reaction when meeting Nat would definitely be something like “You deserve so much better!” and Nat is like “…..” thinking she was talking about her and Zoe would be like “I was talking to you. You deserve better than Jamie.”

Nat & Zoe would definitely get along (they’re both emo).

Zoe being one of Nat’s bridesmaids and Connor being Jamie’s best man.

Jamie definitely has a tumblr blog where he posts rants about his personal life.

Just imagine his first post after coming back!

“LMFAO YOU GUYS WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED! So I got kidna-“

Arthur, Jamie & Connor would definitely start to do more father-son bonding activities after ggbb.

I literally believe that the fact the Jamie went missing was the thing that repaired their family.

The siblings’ favorite bonding activity is playing video games. Zoe is definitely the best and Jamie & Connor would join forces to defeat her.

The family playing monopoly (tables were thrown and children were disowned).

AGGGTM Series Review

WARNING: Spoilers for the AGGGTM series and book

Late last year I finally caved and read 'A Good Girl's Guide To Murder' by Holly Jackson after months of hearing my friends praise it. I really wasn't expecting to like it and was just looking for another book to read over the winter break. Much to my surprise, I loved it and finished it in one day. So, when I heard the BBC was making a series I was more excited for the show to come out than I had been with any other adaptations of books I love.

Now, I have watched all six episodes and I want to give the pros and cons of the show (based only on my own personal opinion)

Pros: To start with, the casting is fabulous in terms of appearance. Nearly every character looks exactly how I imagined them. I also think, on the whole, the acting is superb. I found the pacing mostly satisfying and I often found myself itching to press 'Next Episode' every time one finished. Although it's entirely superficial, the soundtrack was a real highlight for me. As it mostly stayed true to the book, the actual plot was very gripping.

Cons: While I understand quite a lot of cutting had to be done to the story in order to fit it into 6 45 minutes episodes, I feel so many plot points were skipped over, meaning a lot of conclusions Pip came to seemed to be purely based on her intuition. As well as this, most of Pip's answers were handed to her by other characters. I was really sad she didn't make the 'TT' discovery herself, and it often felt she wasn't investigating, so much as being fed the answers. Another issue I have, (and no shade to Mathew Baynton here, Horrible Histories was my childhood) but Elliot seemed to be so much more menacing. I watched the show with my parents and they immediately picked up on it, making them suspicious of him from the start. I think a big part of this is that parent-child and student-teacher relationships cannot be manufactured, so the conversations he had with other characters often felt stilted or weird. I also found it really interesting they completely removed Stanley Forbes from the series. While he doesn't play a vital role in AGGGTM, having him in the book really helped set him up for GGBB, where is easily one of the most important characters. I'm sure the show runners have a plan for a potential next series, but nonetheless I think they should have just included him to save time next season. Finally- this is nit picking- I wish we had seen Barney more, as he always felt so present in the book which made his death feel so much more devastating.

Overall, I was honestly a little let down by the series. However, the main cause of that is probably that this time round I knew everything that was going to happen and didn't feel suspense the way I did before. I'm looking forward to the next series, which I think will be more exciting on screen.

Random headcanons about me and Stanley's life after Ggbb

⚠️Spoilers⚠️

In this Stanley lives because I say so👍

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Me, Stanley, and Jamie would absolutely be the trio

We'd probably all even end up living together at some point

FAMILY DINNERS WHERE STANLEY BEING THE SWEETHEART HE IS ALWAYS ASKS ME AND JAMIE WHAT WE WANT FOR DINNER

Jamie: "So are you gonna propose to her soon orrr?"

Stanley: "W-what?"

Jamie: "Well I mean it's kind of a give in after everything that happened that you two are gonna stay together, so I was just wondering when"

Stanley: "Well, as true as that is, I don't wanna rush it, I don't want it to feel like I'm proposing because she accepted me, I want to do it right

Idk how to explain this but like in those edits/videos (Like a specific one of Pam Miller I saw with a guy dying laughing at her acting, in a good supportive way not like she's bad😭💖 If I can find the video maybe I'll include it here) (I FOUND IT https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8hTvPdQ/) there would be so many little things I do and little idiosyncrasies of mine that would either, if they could tell I was agitated at someone, (And they'd defanitely always be able to tell) they'd sit there awkwardly eyeing eachother or just dying laughing at random shit from me

US BEGGING STANLEY TO LET US GET A PUPPY

Me finding random animals and bringing them home

*Stanley looking at Jamie* "This is what I have to deal with"

If anyone comes for Jamie Reynolds they're gonna have to go through me

My family and Jamie's family would absolutely volunteer themselves as Stanley's new adopted family no ifs ands or buts (Doesn't matter that he kidnapped their son😌)

I'd probably end up hiding some of my own personal issues with my family from Stanley for awhile, not wanting to add any more to his plate family wise, especially compared to what he's been through

But he'd fond out eventually and be the absolute sweetest about it

He'd still fully be welcomed into my family though, by everyone

If Stanley ever feels like he has to pay someone to keep his secret again I'm absolutely being the one paying for it this time, he's never having to work two jobs again. Even if there wasn't anybody he felt he needed to pay I'd still be willing to have two jobs just so he could have a break after doing it for so long and not have to work at all

Cara would come over all the time to flirt with me infront of Stanley

Cara: "Her hair is so shiny have you seen it? It's hard to miss"

Jamie running his hands through my hair: "No knots either damn"

Obviously one of the main reasons Stanley has such a good security system at our house is because of his past but it's just a very big bonus that he gets to make sure I'm safe

I'd also probably have the effect of everything that happened to Stanley in Ggbb building up inside of me and the thought of losing him before I break down infront of him but again he'd be so sweet

So many moments of Jamie catching random marks/hickies on the both of us

These last few headcanons could really be either be before or after the events of Ggbb give or take Jamie being there but I really like them so I wanted to include them

I feel like I'd try to be super sweet upfront but an absolute cunt when needed so I can completely imagine Stanley reassuring people I'm nice and telling then how adorable and stupid I really am with him if their first impression of me was during bitch mode

I'd be standing there with Stanley, Pip, and Cara (MY BABIES) like "😄" and then someone I knew was awful would come up behind me and call my name and I'd have to close me eyes and switch before spinning around with an eye roll like "😀/sar🤬"

I had another one I think including Jamie but I can't remmeber😭 But if I remember I'll include it

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Stanley deserves the best life and I'm gonna do everything in my power to give it to him😭👉👈💖
