Had a wild ride the other day reading a Moby-Dick blurb in which, among many a thing, Ishmael was described as "a normal young man".

Could you please help me point out what can be considered normal about Ishmael and his behaviour?

Oh, okay. Okay, cool cool cool. So Newt is the first one revealed to be not immune and Thomas has a full on panic attack and almost faints after realizing he loves him how much Newt actually means to him. Okay okay okay. Like, Newt not being immune was kind of an unacceptable thought that never crossed his mind, so Thomas never even considered that he might not actually make it with the rest of them. Okay. Cool cool cool cool

Big Me: I can't wait to start working again! I'm going to be able to actually afford things. Maybe I can get a gym membership, or save up for a car, or--

Little Me in the back of my head: GET PACIS!!!

Big Me: No, I need to get adult things. I can get a credit card once I can prove income, and then--

Little Me: AND THEN GET STUFFIES TOO!!!

Big Me: I was thinking more along the lines of my own apartment with no roommates

Little Me: Right, so I can play with blocks and color and use sippies and watch fun shows and--

Big Me: N o t t h e p o i n t

At the end of the day, Vessel gets to go home and take off the mask and be a normal ass man, and go to coffee shops and not be recognized, and me? I have to LIVE WITH BEING A SLEEP TOKEN FAN!!! sure I could be anonymous about it irl, but I already bought the fuckin sweatshirt. Vessel?? He gets to just go about his day, and be like ‘oh Sleep Token?? Never heard of them/not my thing’ and me?? I have to live with the fact that when I say ‘oh my favorite band is sleep token’ EVERYONE KNOWS IM HORNY, DEPRESSED, LONELY AND IN A CULT (basically).

Edit: I feel like I need to say, this post is Not about wanting Vessel to unmask, this is about how I have to live with being a Sleep Token fan. I am very much so an anonymous Vessel supporter (anonymous Sleep Token supporter) and I dont want people to think I am not lmao.

The read more is so this doesn’t ruin the funny goofy vibes of the og post.

the naturals series—a short (LIE) rant

just finished the natural series (still need to read twelve) and i have way too much to say. where do i even begin?

it ALL made sense in the end. at first i assume each book had its own plotline. each book was a different case. BUT NOOOO jlb managed to tie ALL of them together. and everytime i thought it was all figured out—there was a plot twist. there was always a plot twist.

the cast was my favourite. i love our mc cassie. shes so relatable and so human, not an emotionless girl like most books try to make their mcs nowadays. she genuinely felt empathy and understanding towards the victims.

the love triangle felt, to me, a little unnecessary. but i will say that i loved how it didnt really got in the way of the main plot, it was just smth to entertain and make us see that these are teenagers and not just random people solving cases.

my favourite so far (if u couldn't tell) is lia. i WILL be talking about her for the next 10 years of my existence, tyvm. i love how layered she was and how slowly throughout the series we see her open up and show who she is underneath all those layers of deception. i have sm to say abt micheal and lia, but lets keep it calm (for now).

bad blood was AMAZING. the cult and all that shit was so well written like??? im currently wondering if it genuinely is a real cult (who knows?). the ending was not expected, and im so sad abt what happened w cas n her ma.

anyway!! in other words, this book was amazing. im so upset that theres barely any content abt it. 5/5 stars (and def better than the inheritance games, JUST SAYING)

go read it. now.
