Reading adventures! The Lies of Locke Lamora

I am enjoying this book. It got really dark just now, but I know that Locke will be able to get his revenge somehow. I'm so sad Lynch killed off three of the crew. It seems rather unnecessary, but it is a dark book, so I shouldn't be surprised. I don't read a lot of grim dark so that's why it caught me off guard. I still am annoyed by all the flashbacks, but another reviewer said they all turn out to be important in the end, so now I read them with that in mind, and that helps. As almost everyone says, Jean and Locke's friendship is very touching.

I am confused by the assertion that it's Locke's fault the twins and Bug died because he didn't pull out of the Salvo heist in time? The Grey King would have found them anyway, and wasn't in any way connected to the Salvos as far as I can tell. Both Locke and other reviewers have said this and I don't get it. Maybe it's my undying loyalty to main characters.

From what I've seen online, the major consensus amongst HP fans is that Cursed Child is NOT canon ( and many simply pretend it doesn't exist). I remember when it first came out and was being promoted, both the stage show and the published script, and everyone was really excited for new HP material... until we realised that it just... wasn't canon... at all. Yeah, the idea of Voldemort as presented in the HP novels having any sort of romantic relationship with Bellatrix and having a child is simply ridiculous and certainly just exists as a way for him to have a secret child for reasons of the wacky plot... it's very tween fanfic and also very Disney channel sequel (like the og villains all having kids we never heard about is totally a real Disney channel thing).

I remember it being very clear at the time that it came out that any "pointers" or "ideas" JKR provided to the actual writer of CC must've been the very barest of bones, the tiniest of shards perhaps, because it simply read like a sort of AU fanfiction written by the most casual of fans... which, as I understand, it really was. At the time when it came out, it was pretty clear that she had very little to do with actually writing it, though I suppose more was made later of her 'involvement' to legitimise it. I heard since that someone asked her if it should be considered canon, and she said yes? Not sure how this interaction actually went down as I don't particularly care to look into it (since nothing will change my mind that the AU of CC makes no sense within the context of HP canon and lore and it was probably some kind of marketing tactic in support of the stage play) but as she clearly didn't actually write CC herself and it contradicts many things from the books she did write, I'm pretty happy to continue ignoring its existence.

What do you think of Fantastic Beasts in comparison? Personally, I put Fantastic Beasts in a separate category where I can kind of accept aspects of it as canon expansions of the lore and worldbuilding... I can see JKR's style clearly and the inconsistencies with timelines and certain characters being in places and times they shouldn't be don't bother me as much as the straight up character assassination we see in CC. To put it another way, I think CC feels like it belongs to a totally different IP and was written by a different author (because it was) while FB definitely still exists in Rowling's wizarding world, it's just the timeline is kinda off.

this is interesting context. I think she kind of has to say yes to that question in context, because like... who's going to shill out £150 to see some random dude's AU fanfiction play (if it isn't even good)? of course, JKR's stamp isn't nothing, but even she can't weld extra content into the canon by declaring it so. i see TCC like church ephemera: i'm sure SOMEONE finds it interesting or relevant to what we're doing here, but that doesn't mean it's part of the Bible.

i feel the same way about fantastic beasts, but to a lesser extent. i actually enjoyed the first fantastic beasts movie, i thought it was playful and charming and (with the exception of the dumb polyjuice plot) the perfect way to revive harry potter as a storytelling vehicle. like, yeah, it fucked up by trying to go too big too soon, but if you can remove one (1) subplot or narrative thread and have a solid movie, then as a writer, you've still done okay.

Fantastic Beasts also annoys me because it does feel like harry potter, in terms of tone and mouthfeel. it's got the sauce. it just heinously drops the ball in later installations. in particular, it starts getting nervous about holding the audience's attention and throws stuff in that just wouldn't make it in a natural, organic script — most of the shit from the original series is contrived and ill-suited to the dramatic tenor set by Movie About Funny Man Collecting Magical Animals. (e.g. going back to hogwarts? leta lestrange's secret white father revengeplot triple-rugpull? human nagini?? secret undead dumbledore brother raised by american evangelicals???). i like the idea of it very much. i'm honestly drawn to it as a creative space, because unlike TCC, there is potential there. it's just badly abused.

***WEDNESDAY REVIEW*** I HAD FEELINGS AND THEY WERE GOOD ONES! One of my bestest friends suggested I watched this, and I did, and I loved it. The plot line is revenge, with a Long Island Ice Tea kind of mix. Every sip is a different flavor of crazy. You’ll see at least ONE familiar actor and be ready to have your gut punched right when you think everything is working out. I am also a fan of her nail polish. Adding on to this, I have been in the brain fog this character is in. You become engrossed and obsessed with one thing, or like in my case, nothing at all. Others continue to say there is something desperately wrong with you, but you either remain fixated or go full on self destruction. I enjoyed it. Let me know if you have a movie you’d like me to watch.

The Escape Room by Megan Goldin

The ultimate workplace revenge story! 😯

Vincent, Sylvie, Sam, and Jules are the best at what they do. Working in finance has afforded each of them a life of extreme luxury. When they receive a compulsory team building exercise in an escape room, they all dutifully turn up eager to show off their competitive sides. When when the AC switches off along with the lights and the time ticks past 70 minutes, they know this is no ordinary escape room. Who will make it out alive?

I loved the alternating POV on this cautionary tale of workplace opportunism and greed gone wrong. As someone who works in corporate America, this definitely resonates and it was easy finding myself siding with Sara and even frustrated by her blind allegiance to the company. I recommend this for those looking for an unconventional corporate thriller.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 4/5

WARNING: (Slight) SPOILERS. Today I want to talk about The Count of Monte Cristo. I read this at the end of 2020 because of my grandads recommendation and was expecting it to be a drag, but I absolutely LOVED it. It literally has a little bit of everything. It’s long, and the beginning is a little slow, but it’s honestly worth the time invested. Has anyone tried this? What were your thoughts? Did you love it as much as I did? #thecountofmontecristo #alexandredumas #classic #classicbooks #revenge #revengeplot #revengeplots #5starreview #favouritebooks #favouritebook #booksilove #bookstagram #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/CRRzAStj6_N/?utm_medium=tumblr

So, this happened tonight.

I will not apologize.

[revolutionary-dragon]

Law was really upset at the beginning of this chapter (940) and the one a couple chapters back when we last saw him. It’s probably the most genuinely upset we’ve ever seen him (and rightfully so). And I'm glad because, hopefully, we’re finally going to be learning the kind of dynamic that really exists between him and his crew in this arc (Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi, in particular, considering they’ve basically grown up together) and how Law behaves in a post-RevengePlot world. It’s obvious that he deeply cares about them and to see him get upset when their loyalty, dedication, and reliability were called into question tells us a lot. He had a right to be upset about that and I hope that his being upset doesn’t extend to the Straw Hats themselves, but the present ones never exactly spoke up for them either. Then again, we only caught the tail end of what was apparently an extensive and escalating argument between Law and Shinobu on the topic.

I’m gonna ramble a bit:

Law has been through a bit with the Straw Hats (even if it was only a few days in crisis and a few weeks in total) but he trusted them. Despite his insistence that alliance does not necessarily mean friendship, Law seems to take his alliances very seriously in regard to trust. Trust in others’ trust seems like it’s important to him as well despite his seemingly ‘cautious’ nature (cautious for a D.). So for Shinobu to question his crew and suggest either killing them or letting them die even after he told her they can trust them and when he’s never once called her or the others into serious question like that?... and for none of the Straw Hats to really back him up either?... had to have hurt. If I remember right, He seems to take people’s word for it when he askes if someone is trustworthy - only having to ask once to be convinced and satisfied by the answer (like Luffy) as long as he believes that he’s not being lied to and the person he’s asking is being sincere. So for someone to argue him on this point... is understandably frustrating. I don’t think that Law is upset with the Straw Hats themselves following that argument but he’s upset none the less.

(There is like an 93% chance that Law is literally going to go and save his crew right now and I am Here For It. There is a 7% chance that he’s engaging in his favorite hobby of taking walks to cool his head/think. But he’s a D. He’s probably going to save his crew like he said he is. I hope he doesn’t get captured again. Japan has a kink for Law getting hurt tbh so I won't be surprised if he’s damsel again but we’ll see)

We’ve gotten so used to just having and seeing Law by himself and outside of the context of his crew that it’s sometimes easy to forget about how close he may be to them. He was away from his crew for months already when we first encounter him on Punk Hazard and who knows how long the separation really was. Related, we also have how he told his crew to head to Zou and ‘wait for him there’ (despite him having no intention or hope of ever surviving his confrontation with Doflamingo and/or Kaido). That’s also telling. One could easily suggest that he sent them there to keep them from getting hurt or killed in a revenge plot that they had nothing to do with and possibly, in Law’s mind, didn’t deserve to get hurt by. So he sends them off to a phantom island that can’t traditionally be found just in case. They also very clearly love and adore Law as their captain. Which is just... fantastic. I’ve been dying to see more of Law with his crew for a decade.

I’m also concerned that Oda is prepping us for the end of the alliance. That he’s starting to drive a wedge between the Heart Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates so that by the time the Wano arc ends, the two groups are back to being rivals and the Heart Pirates can go their own way and possibly clash with the Straw Hats in the Future or something rather than continue to be allies in the way that the Straw Hat Fleet is. Distant friends to call when/if you need help and all that. But who knows. We’ll see what happens.

Arabian nights

so i had to summarize an arabian night tale for school. this is what i did

A story within a story within a story

the barbers fifth bro

So Dude bro, Who's name is Alnaschar, gets a hundred bucks. So he goes out and spends it all on these glass pieces and plans to sell them. While he waits for people to buy them, he accidentally thinks out loud how this is gonna make him rich, and he's going to marry the daughter of the grand-vizir. Then he continues, saying how he's gonna emotionally and physically abuse his beautiful wife for no apparent reason, and then he accidentally kicks his basket of glass over and everything breaks.

Alnaschar is sorrowful and stuff, and the dude in the stall next to him is laughing because he heard Dude Bro narrating his plan and stall dude tells Alnaschar deserves his fate because he planned to treat his wife so horribly.

So some rich lady is riding by on a donkey, see's Dude Bro crying and she tells her servant to give Alnaschar all the money he has. so Alnaschar gets 500 bucks. Then he goes home, and later, there's this old woman at the door asking him if she can use his house to pray so he lets her in. when she finishes praying, she thanks him and he notices that she has these old ugly raggy clothes on, so he offers her two coins. She refuses, because she says she has a lady master who's more than enough rich. Then she offers to take Alnaschar to her master and he can marry her for helping the old hag.(random?????)

So he stows his 500 coins under his robes and follows her and Whoop wouldja look at that it was a scam. So this huge black dude comes in and takes his money and cuts him up like a piece of sushi and then a slave comes and rubs salts in his wounds, and Dude Bro does something smart. He PLAYS DEAD.

Well playing dead works, even though salt being rubbed into your wounds hurts like a b*tch and he has to internally scream the entire time, and they dump him in this dead people pit they have in their house. So he stays there for two days, recovering from his wounds until he can escape. eventually he gets out under the cover of night and waits till day brake and he escapes to his bro's house.

REVENGE PLOT.

SO He's a little pissed off that this old chick stole his money. He goes and pretends to be this rich old lady who needs a scale to count her money. Except, instead of money, he has a sword. And death. and revenge. Old chick says her son has a scale and is good at money counting. Thus, Little old lady chick takes him to the same house as before, and brings out the black dude as her son. So the dude takes the disguised and pissed off Dude Bro to the back and Alnaschar just chops off the black dudes head. Now there's a body he needs to get rid of so Dude Bro takes the body and the head to the dead guy pit and throws it in. well the salt slave sees this so he has to kill her too. And then the old lady chick see's him and he kills her.

So the aforementioned rich lady master is somewhere in the house completely oblivious that her crew has been killed, and he finds her and she's terrified. She begs for her life and says she was forced to do this scam stuff. HE BELIEVES HER. And she takes him to the vault full of sweet gems and riches. So he leaves to get guys to come carry this stuff out and wouldjalookatthat she left and all the money is gone. So he steals her furniture instead, and forgets to lock the doors when he leaves which then, for some reason, alerts the neighbors that he's a thief. Like, a non thief would lock the doors after there's nothing inside???what if a thief locked the doors after he left?

He gets taken to court, and instead of being killed for his crimes, he manages to convince the judge guy to let him live. Well judge guy does, but kicks him out of the city for good. Alnaschar is now walking away from the city and BAM HE GETS ROBBED OF HIS CLOTHES AND ANYTHING ELSE HE HAS. So his bro comes and picks him up and sneaks him into the city and then takes care of him.

What I don't get is why didn't Alnaschar just take the judge to the house and show him the pit of bodies???? Like, case closed, he's a free man and he gets to keep his revenge furniture.
