Tell me a show you watched that you think would have been better with a 20 episode season instead of whatever it got. I’ll go first:

Dead boy detectives

Dead end paranormal park

Inside job

Cuphead

Hazbin hotel

Man I sure miss 20 ep seasons :(

Anons Astral Adventure (2011)

[malichev]

I don't know what happened to the Patitos on the tweeter, but are they attacking the CC´s again? Literally, I want to understand why they think that the CC are obliged to make public speeches in defense of Quackity on topics that they are not related to, what fanaticism is this? The first thing that appeared on my Timeline today was attacks on Cellbit and his project( Ordem Paranormal), saying that Ordem only had quality content because of Quackit, (In other words, the person belittled everyone else involved, including other players like Roier, Foolish, Pac, Baghera… just to say that Quackity is the one who gave a lot of quality to the project, which is one of the biggest, if not the biggest RPG from Brazil.)

Peoople calling Cell a bad friend because he never came to defend Quackity in public, but people....Do you understand the meaning of reciprocity? Quackity never went public to defend him, or any of his friends from the mass attacks they suffered, and it's not like the streamer should take care of that, in fact, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the community, especially on Twitter, doesn't It's the CC's responsibility, they have to make an effort to take care of their own chat on Twitch, but for example Twitter, and these more public places are no longer something that is in the hands of Streamers exactly because of "freedom of expression/freedom of speech", people will attack each other on Twitter, it's their territory and they use it as they see fit, no streamer will have control from there. They may even say something, but that doesn't guarantee anyone's control. I'm shocked that mass attacks have started again for free..

I said about writing something spooky… I wrote this in a Sam draft and I’ve been non stop thinking about it.

Let me know what you think 👀 also should it be reader being just friends with Sam and Colby or reader having a secret (kept from the fans) thing with both of them??

While I’m on a Toga kick, it’s interesting to me that this arc for far seemingly sees Toga give up on romance & being like her crushes, yet she’s is acting more like Deku & Ochako than ever now. But specifically at their worst by putting her interests and happiness aside to right a great wrong; paralleling Ochako putting her feelings for Deku aside for a long arse time now, and more pressingly, Deku’s whole self destructive mindset in the Dark Hero arc.

Although what’s interesting with Toga is, it’s ambiguous & debatable if this is really that kind of self-destructive downgrade for her. She hurt the ones she loved & innocent people before, consuming blood and ostracizing her from normal society in the process, and so lived only for herself. But now putting aside love seams to mean putting aside blood. In looking for revenge, she also pursues justice, and now only attacks those complicit...even if that does work out to mean “all of the heroes.”

In the past I joked that it seems like she just can’t win because her behaviour is seen as toxic no matter what; but really, I’m curious which behaviour the story will ultimately say is worse for her.

Reading the first Mercenary Librarians book for book club (Deal with the Devil by Kit Rocha), which is very funny, we usually do loose month themes and I'm guessing this month's theme was romance (I missed the reveal I was at ski week) because this is shelved in scifi but it's clearly a romance book, written by a romance author duo, it has that sort of particular world and character building and dynamic that romance novels do (this is not a bad this it's just very. Telling? The conventions of the genre you see) and is VERY spicy. But of course my stupid ass, who is a romance book reader, did that thing that I do literally every romance book series where I get super attached to the secondary slow burn couple who clearly is going to get together during a later book. Like uhuh yeah ok instant chemistry main books one couple suresure but tell me more about the two characters who are like. Staring longingly at each other and having meaningful moments but not touching due to their Tragic Backstories.

Like oh my god I am so predictable.

Anyway yeah I got the second book (digitally because I am on quarantine!) and they don't even bone until like almost the very end of the book and then it immediately careens into whump and ooooough yeah baby that's what I like to seeeeee. Tell your love interest that you'll never be used against her while you're being tortured and dying from your supersoldier brain implant!!!! Which she later has to save you from!!!! I love to see that shit!!!! Who cares about book one smouldering insta-attraction betrayal-angst when I can have the slow buuuuuuuurn I want them to brush shoulders during training and both need to go away to their private rooms to swoon and angst.

I'm super curious as to how the conversation will be steered in book club. The romance is very much the driving narrative, paired with a pretty standard "here is the group of bad guys we need to defeat using the power of the connections we've made with our FOUND FAMILY of couples who have gotten together over the course of however many books are in this series" (this time it's Evil Future Company Government) which is feel is pretty typical of most (paranormal) romance I've read.

Not a perfect series but a fun read, at least through books 2 of 3. But also like. As noted I'm insanely biased towards the ship dynamic that the second book is entirely focused on so like. I cannot be trusted in this.

Man I really like idea of richas as plural because in spite of me liking the paranormal, when it comes to stuff like demonic possessions I think it's my least favourite, esp because of the history of treatment possessed (or rather mentally ill people in distress being deemed possessed)

Like even just taking it as fiction I never really got the appeal of possession on people and exorcisms. I think for me I don't like ideas of concrete malevolent and benevolent spirits in the world (evil demon from hell and blessing angel from heaven, etc.) It kinda implies almost anything is either good or evil in the end through death and it's not great. And demonic possession treatment just kinda adds to that, and it hurts the possessed too in many ways. Like

I'd much rather itd be discussion of mental health rather than a demon but eh that's my personal preference

[spring-lxcked]

btw william absolutely had a fascination with death even in secondary school and college. the difference is that in secondary school people were like "that guys going to end up being a serial killer" and in college people were like "what a strange interest for that nice young man"

Tomorrow a new article, discussing the next segment in the 'Beardo Live' series, will be uploaded to the world's largest database of paranormal research 😄

3 ANNÉES SUR YOUTUBE

Il y a quelques jours, c'était les 3 ans de ma chaîne YouTube, j'ai décidé, pour Halloween, d'avoir une petite discussion avec vous sur ma chaîne et mon rapport à l'étrange et l'horreur.

[marblesarelost]

Oh that's fun.

I admit in my own writing I've avoided vampyri sex. It happens, yes, because I have dhampyri, but so far I haven't WRITTEN vampyr sex. I think in my world they would have to have fed very, very recently (probably with the partner in their arms, or in the case of vampyr/vampyr within the last hour or so) in order to make things work properly.

Shifters, though. Shifters are always DTF.

Never fear, your friendly queer and bisexual book blogger has your back with 5 books all under 300 pages. Plus, I have discussion guides…
