We Are Mayhem
We Are Mayhem by Beck Rourke-Mooney
i have so much fondness for this book. it's feel-good, it's affirming, it's cheesy, it's earnest, it's queer. what a delight! plus i learned a little bit more about pro wrestling, which i only understood the basics of before.
i adored Bird, adjusting to a move to upstate NY and the loss of her hoped-for career as a gymnast (because she's "too big"), trying to find her place socially and trying to understand herself internally in the summer before her senior year. i adored Abigail Rose--feminist, disabled, ferocious wrestling supporter and promoter--fighting for her place in a family with a long wrestling legacy. i loved the side characters, each of them unique and delightful in their own ways.
but i think what i loved most was just the way this book so accurately captured the feeling of being an "outsider" teen. of being confused about yourself, of trying new things, of being torn between conformity (and popularity) and doing what feels best and most you. Bird's internal and external journey was so charming as they followed their gut into new friendships, a new look, a new approach to their body and gender expression and athleticism, and started to discover not only how complicated and unique they were, but how complicated and unique every person is, even the ones they had written off. it's definitely a book aimed very specifically at teen readers--more straightforward and repetitive in its affirmations and lessons than i personally needed, i've been out for 25 years--but for me that just added to the earnestness of it, echoing a time of life when everything is kind of new and confusing and important. (and i genuinely did not know a lot of wrestling names or vocab going in, so i appreciated the hand-holding in that regard.)
overall an uplifting read that's kept popping up in my thoughts in the couple of days since i finished it, i might reread it on vacation this summer just for the joy.
the deets
how i read it: an e-galley from NetGalley! i am running a little behind on my shelf there, but this was a quick read and i'm excited to order a physical copy.
try this if you: were, are, or know an outsider teen, love good friendship and coming of age stories, dig a training montage, or like a happy ending! (or ever watched GLOW)
a bit i really liked: felt this one hard!
"Shut up! Seriously?" Kayleigh shoves her the way only friends can without consequence, and I wonder if there's a maximum capacity for loneliness, or if it's the kind of thing that can keep expanding forever until it's completely overtaken all other feelings. Like an invasive species.
pub date: March 19, 2024! it's already out! go get it!

so much time has passed since we were kids,
so many things have changed,
but it's still the same. isn't it?
There is an accidental trend in my tmnt fanart. Its almost as if... many of my fondest childhood memories were spent playing games with my siblings. The rise & 03 ones have been posted before, I just wanted them all together.
#tmnt#tmnt 2003#rottmnt#tmnt mutant mayhem#teenage mutant ninja turtles#this one has been sitting in my drafts for MONTHS#my siblings. if you see this. ily. we need to play minecraft

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice
#jeeves and wooster#i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction#yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood#a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going#but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING#I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE#i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession#it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason#jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text#wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind#the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage#two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point#the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time
