13. Which books disappointed you?

Two main ones come to mind.

The first was Incendiary by Zoraida Cordova. It wasn't bad, but the person that rec'd it overhyped it I think (some random person on the internet, so that's on me). Also it'd been sitting on my shelf for a few years, and my taste definitely finally tipped more into adult instead of YA over those years. I probably would've liked it more if I'd read it sooner

I'm still probably going to read the sequel since it's just a duology, but it just didn't have that oomph I wanted. I remember the pacing being off and the story really relying on events from the characters backstories, and I just didn't find them convincing enough to explain peoples' actions.

The other was the Sacred Throne trilogy by Myke Cole. I have a few posts from when I was reading it.

My primary gripe with the series that had me tearing my hair out was the lack of worldbuilding--or at least how poorly it was explained to the reader.

The entire trilogy is this 16 year old girl thrust into faux sainthood to lead a rebellion against this tyrannical religion/empire, and they spend practically the entire series physically fighting this threat. But it's structure is not explained at all. I cannot emphasize enough how much we don't know shit about The Order. The different sections are introduced as soon as they're relevant--and we know the characters know about them based on their reactions. So it reads like threats are appearing out of thin air and we were just supposed to understand it from the beginning

I think the series also fumbles in its conclusion. (Spoilers) At the end, when they've revealed this emperor to be the sham he is, all the atrocities perpetuated in the name of nothing, all the struggle not to become her enemy and to not sink to their level...and the series ends with her becoming the new emperor?? SERIOUSLY??

Not to mention all the gratuitous violence. And the way the MC fights through lethal injuries. She just casually describes her eye popping in her socket and continues on. She gets stabbed and is back at it again the next day. like girl sit DOWN

I'd rate the series like a 2-2.5, but I'd expected better of it based of descriptions.

#ask game #quil's queries #we-do-bones-bitches #mostly because my dad said it was good. not like GOOD good. but good.#and we tend to know each others' taste pretty well #but also. he was getting rid of the series and i just grabbed it cause I could #so like. he was also getting rid of it for a reason #there were some others i rated pretty low but these were the main let downs I think

What's your favourite candle scent?

What's your favourite childhood moment? (Or something lkle that, I forgot)

I actually don't get candles that often so I haven't had many, but I usually go for a vanilla smell or if it's Christmas I'll get a festive one! (Ngl I like the smell of a candle just been blown out more XD)

And favourite childhood memory Is probably drawing with my dad when I was little

Harrowhark Nonagesimus. The Ninth Saint to the Serve the King Undying, the Reverend Daughter of Drearburh and Heir to the House of the Ninth.

Also known as Desiccated Mummy of Hate, Gloom Mistress, Sunshine, Hideous witch from hell, Bone Empress, Skull-Faced Fruitcake, etc...

Oil paint on canvas panel, 30x40 cm.

Seriously, The Locked Tomb is one of the best book series I've read recently. It's complex, funny and Harrow is an awesome character.

Who decided the drow should have so much fucking lore anyway.

('I should've been a drow.' You can't fucking stand Cazador or your 'siblings' you would not fucking want to be a drow. Although I guess Astarion would make a fair Vhaeraunite.)

#babbling #I'm still working on it and the many many fucking novels I don't really want to read #but at the same time my dwarves are calling me away from the elfyness #there was a giant red cardinal loose in the mines until it ran into the tavern in a panic and the human merc staying there killed it #I wanted to catch and tame it to make a dwarven aerial cavalry of giant blood-red passerines #now there's dead bird everywhere and nobody actually wanted to do cleaning work and everybody's being sick #possibly because half the work force is severely disabled #because they ran off to beat a giant snapping turtle to death and got limbs torn off #I told them not to fucking go fishing but nnOOooo #that's slowing things down a bit #We spent weeks huddled in a hole in the ground eating raw horseflesh and staring at nothing due to trauma #bleeding through amateurish stiches done by a dying one-handed dwarf with no medical training #while one of the dwarves sat in the other corner carving bone into jewellery while seething with homicidal rage #We have no textiles industry; some of the dwarves are wandering around swathed in bone jewellery and crowns like morbid monarchs #But their clothes are tattered rags clinging to their heavily scarred flesh by threads #the mining team has to double as the militia because they've grown to crave violence for some reason - especially the medical staff #Can't wait for the elven diplomat to turn up and start bitching about the logging industry #Like look you cannibalistic fuck; these dwarves are a hairsbreadth away from descending into berserker-rage and slaughtering us all #I am not making them sleep in the dirt because you oppose me turning the odd tree into a bedframe or a barrel because we are ALWAYS #ALWAYS on the verge of running out of alcohol #...#Either this sounds insane or you know exactly what I'm talking about #I'm going to make a DnD session out of this methinks

*Trigger warning for eating disorder talk*

I hate how whenever I eat anything my brain is like "You should kill yourself. Now." Like what's your fucking problem

#tw ed #it's like bitch the body needs nutrients to function. idiot. that's how flesh vessels work. what are you an alien?#but my brain is always like 'booo you are a disgusting ugly bitch and as a punishment you can't eat at all tomorrow.'#like...ok then. i guess.#the funny thing is that it's also like two people fighting because like i hate what i see in the mirror from both sides #like one part of me is like 'ahhh we are far too skeletal it looks kinda creepy and Not Good'#and the other is like 'wow ew we're so disgusting and big and our bones aren't visible enough. what would our family say?'#so there's like no winning at all because if i don't eat one side will get mad and refuse to look in the mirror #and if i do eat the other side will go into total hysterics and I'll have to sleep completely covered up and will have to avoid #all mirrors because it will completely distort our perception of ourselves and will claim changes that aren't there and it will #force me not to eat for a day or two and probably also to walk everywhere #it also sucks because i think not eating enough might be contributing to me feeling so shallow and fatigued and disinterested in everything #but i have no idea because I don't know how many calories I'm actually getting #and it's really Bad™ for me to count because I'm a little bit too competitive and my brain has historically always made it #a challenge to eat as few calories as possible. because I'm insane and treat literally everything as a competition that i have to win

words pale to express how much I hate macron at this point

#thoughts #my grandmother was sent home with an unexamined broken bone #because she is old so not a priority and the public services are fucking drowning #then obviously she fell again and broke two more and got open wounds #then she was taken in and stored in a *corridor* for days #and the operation on her shoulder is being stalled because they have zero openings #AND THIS BITCH is out there speaking of cutting 10 billion more funding for hospitals #you are selling us to private US interests like there is no tomorrow #forbidding us from protesting for our rights and maiming and killing your own citizen when we try #gassing up the far right to try and win by comparaison EVEN THOUGH you do the EXACT same thing as them AND criminalizing the left #pussying out of saying you 100% support Israel when this is actually what's happening because you're a coward #AND prepping us for a war with russia that I'm fairly sure has nothing to do with genuine solidarity with ukraine #but far more with the european political chessboard and your own mark upon history because that's the kind of person you are #and doing your little ego parade for the olympics as though this should in any way shape of form be the priority right now???#as if it's not unbelievably dangerous given the current state of the world??#I want to eat a wall every time I see him on my screen #I am. very angry about many things at the moment. :)

Production of American Psycho where all the instrumental tracks are just played from yt or spotify and Bateman goes on semi-scripted tangents about each product, and a few nonsensical ads for poisons industrial weapons etc are sprinkled in with increasing frequency as it goes on. Also all the songs are different because I fucking hate what they did with that show.

#I'm in the camp of the book is interesting the movie's great the musical blows chunks #When you have a song called 'you are what you wear' sung by the two main high-society women and their guests #and Bateman enters the party without getting his own verse or even joining in. nd Bateman enters the party #In fact is busy calling Jean in a moment played as sweet or smth because he calls her peasant clothes acceptable and asks her out #you have lost the plot are you fucking kidding me #He doesn't really consider himself a god and he absolutely isn't one. He tries cooking human sausage and fails at it and cries about it #He pulls a dumb prank on his fiance right before breakup. He does dogshit doodles and fills out a crossword with MEAT BLOOD BONE. Unserious #They give Jean a song about how nice it could be to settle down with him. Bitch that's the Hamptons era with Evelyn and guess how that goes #Having his spree when he gets back be countless bodies just writhing beneath him while he sings a power song...disgusting. Repugnant.#And having him make a public scene right at the beginning and implying the homeless man to be his first victim is so fucking stupid #And I swear I hate how they do Louis so much. Feels like we're supposed to be laughing at him #And his confession coming from guilt over Jean? Bitch what are we doing here. What story are we trying to tell?#At points it feels like he's supposed to be even more of a monster who sees himself above all of humanity than in the book or the film #And at points more of a tragic figure than the fuck has any right to be. Where's the satire?#Anyway. On a positive note I got this idea from watching a small (coincidentally 80s-themed) production of Hadestown #and I really liked it overall but sometimes the tracks had awkward blips in between. Not their fault tiny tech issue didn't really detract #But I do think it could be interesting as an artistic choice to go to the logical conclusion of like #using music from a platform where access to art is so openly mediated(?) by commerce. Just not paying for the premium #american psycho

Left side of left foot hurts when I put pressure on it but I can't figure out how I could have hurt myself there

#also i hope it fixes itself soon.#morgane's talking alone #pressure or i move my foot so it pulls the muscles inside #two theories so far #my boots decided to be bitches (rude)#(i did feel i needed to loosen the laces on this side but i didn't wear them for long either.....)#or i hurt myself going out of the toilets because my leg fell asleep and i put pressure on it the wrong way this time #i don't think it's a bone issue because touching the foot and pressing my fingers on there does nothing #anyway it makes walking hard and painful #and also we wanted to do a 10km trek this sunday 👉👈

love brianna saying this as if we both don't know the only thing keeping me from being the hannibal fan is the fact I don't watch tv. if it isnt convoluted or codependent and/or doesn't have some weird psychosexual bs going on. what's the point

#jillian talks sometimes #i am insulted she said chess though like cmon the poll said POOL and POKER #throw me a bone #it's about watching and reading your opponent you bitch not looking at the BOARD #and i get that you have to do that while fighting but fighting is so Fast theres no time for anything to build. LEAST sexy option 2 me #<- btw brianna did agree with me here. in case anyone thought one of us would ever have a decent opinion on sensuality (impossible)#she picked cigarettes which is very much objectively correct #however. when the long game is an answer. we play the long game

I’m always so fascinated by people’s bad roommate stories. I’m not sure I’ll ever live with someone I haven’t vetted extensively beforehand ever again

#every living situation where i’ve been assigned roommates randomly; i always seem to get one person who is an absolute angel #and 1-2 people who are honestly fucked up #i lived in halls 1 year of undergrad and everyone was kind of equally insane. honestly no one stood out as particularly bad #because everyone was just constantly screaming. i dealt with it by going home most weekends and getting noise cancelling headphones #3rd year of undergrad i lived in a suite which.. honestly was basically an apartment. had a living room/kitchenette; a toilet; a shower room #and 4 bedrooms #one of my roommates i’m still friends with to this day but honestly they were and are kind of a ridiculous person #like they were actively dealing drugs most of the year and their boyfriend was around most of the time and they would bone LOUDLY #and that’s the good roommate. so you can imagine the other two #one of the others.. honestly wasn’t a bad roommate; she was helpful and clean and civil #she was loud as hell though. she used to have attacks of insomnia and decide to rearrange her furniture at 3 in the morning #and we shared a wall. she also had an illegal pet rabbit.#our personalities just didn’t mesh well; like it became clear pretty fast that we were going to spend as little time together as possible #third roommate was loud; rude; annoying and gross. she’d be calling people at 7am just to yell down the phone to them about her problems #i was like who is picking up the phone to this bitch. she also picked up on my homosexual vibes in that way that homophobic straight girls #always seem to have; and was convinced i had a crush on her. and she bought a betta fish (allowed according to dorm rules) and then it died #because she didn’t want to take care of it properly. and she refused to do anything for herself #like she was always breaking shit and leaving it because she didn’t want to email or call maintenance. so then i’d have to do it #because it was always something we specifically shared. like a set of shelves she put a fucking 5lb shampoo bottle on. twice.#in grad school it was almost the same thing. one angel roommate who was kind of messy but otherwise fantastic #she rolled the best joints i have ever seen. and i still miss her cat cali #it was the men that were the problem. one was an international student who left after a month and bothered nobody #like to the point i didn’t notice when he moved out because he was so innocuous #the other two though….. so one of them started hooking up with my favourite roommate and immediately became SUPER annoying #the other one stole shit; left lights on all the time; left fridge and cupboard and freezer doors open; tried to guilt trip me #into giving him my weed; played mariah carey at 2am; never bought a single cleaning product or household item for the collective #unless you told him to…… he was even using my toothpaste at one point. like. sir.#oh and he was always dirtying other people’s dishes and cookware and leaving them in the sink for days. and leaving big chunks of food #in the sink. it was fucking gross #personal
