Week 3 Thoughts on Lost Gods by Gerald Brom

Chapters 51-65

Thot Pocket: So Senoy be fucking that grandma huh?

Britney Smears: Lol. Do y’all suspect that? I didn’t at all.

Thot Pocket: Not at all!

Hell No Kitty: Nooooo.

Thot Pocket: So it sounds like Gavin discovered their affair and killed him. Well, that’s Senoy’s perspective. I bet she tricked him into a living body to bound him there and made Gavin kill him.

Hell No Kitty: Senoy, was a full blown human before that right? I was a little confused about what he is.

Thot Pocket: He’s an angel. Specifically working under Gabriel. But she made him “living flesh.”

Hell No Kitty: Okay this makes more sense.

Bomb Weasley: It was at twist I wasn’t suspecting tbh.

Britney Smears: Did Gavin kill him when he was an angel first?

Thot Pocket: No. After Lamia changed him Gavin stabbed him. His body is rotting, too from the sound of it.

Bomb Weasley: I didn’t catch that part. It sounds like she’s ready to bail on him as soon as she can. Makes me think there’s gonna be another twist.

Britney Smears: For sure, something else to do with Senoy, Lamia, and Gavin.

Thot Pocket: She used his ass like a tampon and chucked him into the nearest sewer lmfao.

Hell No Kitty: Yeah that scene where she just walks away and the little demon kid basically says "she is going to leave you" was brutal.

Britney Smears: Grandma is like this seductress child killer.

Thot Pocket: Well, in her defense he hid her from god at first to torture her and then his stupid ass got seduced.

Britney Smears: I wonder if Gavin is still in love with her.

Thot Pocket: Yeah he doesn’t really think of her. I’m wondering if he’s gonna be the sympathetic victim because he was set up as the villain. Also I’m so fucking happy Velles is ALIVE lol.

Britney Smears: Ditto I was a little disappointed at how quickly they got him though. Like I thought he’d put up a bigger fight.

Thot Pocket: It makes sense as an assassination attempt. They don’t want to fight him. They know that’s stupid. Better to be dirty and kill them off guard.

Britney Smears: I’m also curious how y’all feel about them going after the gods.

Thot Pocket: I don’t like it honestly.

Hell No Kitty: I don't like them killing the gods. Their parts of the story are not super interesting and I dislike Carlos so much. This is silly but like what is even the point of them killing the gods? Do they just want power of purgatory?

Bomb Weasley: I think so, it’s like a perpetual power struggle there.

Thot Pocket: They want to free the souls from what they deem as oppression. They see believers as slaves. Which is HILARIOUS coming from the confederate colonel. It’s also wild to me that Carlos is much more ignorant and even calls him a communist lol.

Britney Smears: Ooof yea that conversation they had made me cringe lol.

Hell No Kitty: Which like Carlos isn't a white name? Why is he on that guy's side hahaha?

Thot Pocket: This book is anti Mexican haha. I agree with you Bomb, at least on Carlos’ position and that demon Lord. Why is the confederate like “I just wanna help?” Fuck out of here. I don’t like that he’s supposed to be “good intentioned.” Bro died wanting to OWN people lol.

Bomb Weasley: Kinda makes me think of us liberating oil.

Thot Pocket: It’s crazy babies go there cuz they’re incapable of believing shit lol.

Bomb Weasley: It’s super sad, they are all alone.

Thot Pocket: We’re you guys scared for the Red Lady at all?

Britney Smears: No she seems stronger than the other gods. To me at least.

Hell No Kitty: Is the red lady the one on the cover? I assumed so, so I wasn't too worried about her. That is the only reason I thought she would be okay, not much deep literary thought put into that.

Britney Smears: Same that’s literally the only reason I wasn’t worried about her either and was like eh she’s strong and can take care of herself lol.

Thot Pocket: See, I trust NOTHING.

Britney Smears: Bitch is on the cover!!

Thot Pocket: And the main character of psycho is murdered halfway! You never know lol. Spoilers for Psycho lmfao.

Hell No Kitty: I gotta say my favorite line from the book so far was "Heaven is full of sheep. Hell is full of those who actually shaped the world..."

Thot Pocket: LOVED IT. Any predictions?

Bomb Weasley: Yes. That is was a trick the whole time. And the angel wants to use the key to run into the sunset with the demon grandma.

Hell No Kitty: I love this.

Britney Smears: I feel like Chet and gavin will get along. Even though it may be a trick Chet could still save Trish.

Bomb Weasley: I think she dies. And the baby.

Hell No Kitty: I do think the baby dies.

Bomb Weasley: And gets dropped into the River.

Thot Pocket: Dear God that’s sad lol. What if him and his grandpa team up and do expendables in Lamia’s house?

Bomb Weasley: Plot twist. This was really just propaganda to make people baptize their babies.

Hell No Kitty: Totally possible.

Thot Pocket: I think the opposite. I think Trish and Baby live, but everything else goes BAD.

Bomb Weasley: Like how bad?

Thot Pocket: Like he doesn’t get her when he needs to and maybe she runs off with the baby or something. It keeps implying she’s about to leave.

Bomb Weasley: That would probably be the best outcome, she just leaves.

Britney Smears: So senoy just said that if Chet gets the key he could save Trish and baby, right? Not Trish baby and himself?

Thot Pocket: Yeah he’s dead as fuck. I don’t think there is any coming back. I don’t think the key is gonna help them anymore, I think it’s just Senoy manipulating him.

Bomb Weasley: Does he have Lilith blood?

Britney Smears: Yes!

Bomb Weasley: Maybe that will kinda help him and he’ll be stuck like the angel. I know that’s pretty obtuse.

Thot Pocket: I guess the reason I doubt that is if she could reanimate corpses why couldn’t she take over her dead daughter’s ya know? But I could also just be flat wrong. But I’m still intrigued regardless.

Bomb Weasley: Good point.

Britney Smears: Chet becomes an angel and him Trish and baby survive. And Lamia dies somehow. My prediction.

Hell No Kitty: I really want Trish to be the one to kill Lamia.

Britney Smears: That would be good.

Thot Pocket: Killing her ass with that nail board would be pretty metal.

Bomb Weasley: That would be a good ending.

Hell No Kitty: Maybe somehow Trish also dies while killing Lamia and then Ana somehow gets to take care of the baby. Fin. I just like Ana.

Thot Pocket: She’s awesome. I really like her character and I appreciate that Chet doesn’t abandon her. I also like that there’s no weird tensions. They’re just two people in the after life.

Bomb Weasley: Yes I love that too!

the real MVPs of arcane

[pirateprincessjess]

When I was a kid my family pretended to get raptured so I would think I was left behind on earth while they all went to heaven.

I was like 8 years old and my sister and mom had gotten really into the Left Behind novels (bible fan fic about the rapture). In the books when the rapture happened the clothes that people were wearing when they got raptured were left behind in neatly folded piles.

One day when I was getting home from school my family decided that they would leave piles of neatly folded clothes around the house, and then hide in the basement.

The intended effect was that I would get home and see the clothes then, think that my family had been raptured and that I wasn’t good enough to get into heaven… or something?

The problem was that I had never read these books, and didn’t really think about the rapture very often. There was no reason that I would see some laundry on the floor and think “The rapture happened and I’ve been abandoned by God! I’ll never see my family again!! Oh nooo!!!!”

I just sat down and watched cartoons and eventually my family got bored and revealed that they were all hiding in the basement.

It’s a good thing I didn’t understand the joke, otherwise that shit would have been traumatic.

For many of years I had this tradition of drawing Wirt and the beast once a year to see how much I have improved, then depression hit in 2023 and couldn't continue, but it left so really amazing art in the process

Augustus makes him tea and tells him to lie on the couch, to stay there as long as he needs as if that isn’t what he’s already been doing, says he’ll order pizza and does he want anything right now, he’s got leftover beef pho, he’s got canned tomato soup, he’s got stale animal crackers but those are still edible right? Harrison says nothing which is what they both expect or maybe it isn’t because Augustus takes Harrison’s face in his hands the same way he holds clay and stares at him, unblinking, for a long while.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)
