"why are people constantly making posts doubting the pages in tb/ob???" pretty sure its cos most people are flat out ignoring the possibility of them being fabricated+the contradictions that exist and like. trying to figure out what's real and false from a narrator that is constantly called a liar is engaging with the text

#like the book itself is the guy going 'hi!! the contents of this book appeals directly to you!!!! now let me trick you into a making a deal!#there's the sense of making the audience wanting it to be true and how that impairs their judgement #(like do i want the pages about stan to be true?? yeah duh but i'm still taking it with a grain of a salt)#i can believe that the pages themselves are forgeries but the emotions that are related to the events are true #anyway why is the drunk page full of messy chicken scratch handwriting but there's a perfectly drawn pic that accompanies it #love the parallels of both bill and stan oscillating between being really great liars and absolutely terrible ones #rantings rambles #altho my main take is maybe dont get too swept up by ships in a series about refinding family #i don't think ford's relationships with bill and mcgucket inherently becomes deeper or any more devastating if you add in romantic elements #know that i'm constantly blinded by my own biases but its okay 💖cos i'm a hater
