Studying hard and trying not to get angry at the book I am reading.  Recently, my favorite way to blow off steam has been writing a grumpy review on Goodreads📖😤 If you want you can follow me here: goodreads

i've been inconsistent on tumblr regarding posting content. last time i posted was before 18th june for the exam. then i ghosted tumblr. well, i started to do extensive skin care and self care, and started to invest more time in my career and earning money through private tuitions, hence rarely got time to post anything. the exam went extremely well and then it got cancelled because i live in 'that' country where everything has been associated with multiple scamming projects for the corporates. the re-examination is on august and idc, i'd give the exam out of spite and get the fuck out of this country.

here's however, a glimpse of my work on a book review. this is where i work, on bed, with huge back pain and posture defect, with minimal food and bad lighting and endless distractions [from books around, also i'm neurodivergent] i've been immersed in coffee, red tea and cigarettes for the past 3 days and still 200 pages back. today is the deadline! and i'll be finishing off this fucking work like my life depends on it [it does, i'm getting paid]. back to work. Xby.

book recc - castes of mind, nicholas dirks.

Someone suggested Aaron deserves a chance in a rage room but now I'm just wondering... what would every Fox be like if offered an hour in a rage room? Like I know those things usually give you options so like,,, what would they do?

OTHER NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID:

'Hilarious' - Matt Young, co-creator of Hello from the Magic Tavern

'A joyous, delightful romp...filled to the brim with clever jokes - perfect for anyone looking for a Pratchett fix' - Caitlin Schneiderhan, screenwriter, Stranger Things

'More please' - SFX

‘High Vaultage is exactly what I've come to expect from the Sugdens - inventive, imaginative, and hilarious’ – Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions

‘There are some very big concepts in this novel, ambitious settings, and amazing new discoveries. The satire is even more smart, the wit even more sharp’ – @skyfullofpods

'Absolutely overflowing with imagination and creativity . . . I also loved how witty and clever the writing and dialogue was and I found myself genuinely laughing' - @foreverlostinliterature

'High Vaultage is endlessly entertaining - a classic mystery adventure with 10,000 volts of mad science put right through it. It's not just the type of story I wish I could read every day, it's the type of story I wish I could write. Reading it would make me furious with envy if it didn't keep me so busy grinning from ear to ear' - Gabriel Urbina, creator of Wolf 359

The early reviews are in, and your favorite fiction podcast creators are the first fans of Dracula: The Danse Macabre!

Lauren Shippen, star and creator of The Bright Sessions, calls it, "a tour de force for all involved," and raves about how, "the two actors at the center are in turns charming, terrifying, sympathetic, and grotesque."

Christopher Dole, co-creator of Arden, calls it, "a haunting triumph," and, "a wonder of sinister menace."

Find out what's waiting for you at the dark castle... tomorrow.

It's difficult for me to see Stede suddenly being okay with killing people (due to how he handled just being around when the Badmintons accidentally died), but what I can definitely see is him being self-appointed emotional support and director during boardings of other ships.

He seems to have no qualms about violence in general (except against animals, love you Stede), so he would just dash around while the crew fight and maim and kill and be like "Bullets, anyone? Anyone need more bullets? A freshly loaded pistol? Knives? A glass of water?"

"Oh, you dropped your sword there, Pete - here, I brought extras!"

"Those maims are really coming in well, Wee John! You can tell you've been practicing your burn skills."

"Ah, great work, Roach - a cut over there, don't you think, to balance it out? Maybe a modest flogging as well?"

"You're doing so well, guys! It's really coming together!"

He could shoot someone in the leg or stab someone in a non-lethal place if necessary, but I imagine he would "outsource the big job" and then have group reviews and therapy sessions afterwards

Arguably the only dynamic that is more sub-textually Horrifying than Artemis and Butler’s dynamic, is Angeline and Butler’s dynamic.

it is actually so unfair how being quiet is treated as a character flaw that needs fixing in every area of life

[wrenhavenriver]

overhearing the students i was helping in class today say "she's so sweet!" as they leave and then the professor coming up to ask me if i'm going into education because he thinks i'm really good at teaching

[perilegs]

so once again i don't really have any clue as to where higurashi's story is going as i've never seen Anything about the entire game besides maybe one or two sprites. i didn't even know it would be horror. but i'm very interested in seeing how this game continues as i still have 7 chapters to go?
