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

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.

What do you love about zachconnor? ^^

Ahhh thanks for asking! Here are some reasons why I would ABSOLUTELY DIE for this non-canon ship!

Their Chemistry: In both the books and show, I found they had pretty good chemistry with each other. I know we don't really see a lot of them (especially Zach), but I always found them to be such an interesting duo. Honestly, sometimes I wondered if they had feelings for each other in the books - especially in GGBB when Connor got nervous when Pip asked him where he'd been after the memorial. Like do you have something to say, Connor? Just admit you've got a crush on him.

Continued Point (See Above): In the show, specifically, I was completely convinced Zach had a crush on Connor. There's a moment when, during that game at the calamity, Connor gets chosen and Zach looks a little jealous. Do you have something to share with us, Zach? DO YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR CONNOR BY CHANCE? We may never know, I suppose. Connor probably also had a crush on him too cause he wanted to specifically stay up with Zach to watch for the stalker, and was carrying his bag when they were packing up (I know that seems minor but I DON'T CARE). Connor Reynolds, I know what you are, and it's 100% gay.

Friends-to-Lovers Trope: I do love a good enemies-to-lovers romance (I am literally writing one as we speak!), but friends-to-lovers is also pure excellence. This specific trope works so well with ZachConnor cause I think, at some point, one of them would've developed a crush on the other (my personal headcanon is that Connor fell first for Zach). I also feel like they were each other's gay awakenings, honestly. There's just something I love about two characters being each other's queer awakenings but they don't wanna admit it cause they're both best friends and don't wanna make it awkward.

Their Dynamic: As mentioned previously, I found them to be an interesting duo. I say this because I think that their personalities balance each other out really well. As from what we've seen in both the books and show, Connor is quite extroverted. While Zach, on the other hand, seems to be introverted. Introvert x Extrovert ships can work so well when done correctly, and I think ZachConnor works cause neither of these traits are overtly toxic (Connor doesn't push others too hard, and Zach's shyness doesn't stop him from speaking when needed.)

Potential Character Depth: Furthermore, the character depth that could happen if this ship ever got explored in the show. It makes sense for the books to not explore them further, cause duh, they're not main characters, and the books are focused on Pip and Ravi (love them!). However, I think the show could explore these two as well, since shows (e.g: Heartstopper) can expand further on characters who may have been sidelined due to a book's focus on the leads. I just keep imagining a storyline where they're both so conflicted with their feelings for each other since it's so obvious that they like each other, but they also don't want to act on it in case it ruins their friendship. Can you imagine the angst? The exploration of queer self-discovery? It would be so good. It makes me wanna write a fic about it now.

Overall, I think more people should ship ZachConnor/write fanfics for them. I would love to read other people's interpretations on their characters/the ship. They're such an underrated non-canon ship and it sucks that people don't wanna write for them. Just letting everyone know that I'll read your ZachConnor fics if you write them! I'll interact with your content! Make the first step and write for them!

Again, thanks for asking! Loved answering your question! :) - Em

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😭👉👈💖
