i will NOT be watching The Girl Before series... here's why:

WARNING SPOILERSSSSSS

I did not enjoy the book enough so i cannot put myself through watching a whole reiteration of it. i thought the book would be about obsession- and in a sense it was but it wasn't like the Netflix series "You" kind of obsession.

my main points so i dont ramble

meaningless characters + unsolved details

Edward tells about his stalker, a man that follows him and has a sort of obsession with his buildings. looking back, this man could have been simon, explaining his immediate hostility towards him when they first met. unfortunately, there is nothing to back this up.

edward is also made out to be very mysterious, closed off, secretly aggressive, repititive, and overall sus. but at the end of the book, all of the sus attributes are shifted from edward to simon once we realize that simon was the villian afterall. it feels incomplete and wrong in my opinion because why is edward a perfectionist? why is he so secretive? why does he go after women that all resemble his dead wife? why did he repeat the same phrases and go through the same routines with them? were these all meaningless but creepy details to make us suspicious of him? if so, i think that is a stupid way (i know that sounds rude but i cant think of another word) to get readers to not easily predict the ending. i think that in a book, everything should have a true purpose- edward's characterisitics never had any true purpose. he broke the teapot simon gave to emma when he thought that emma wasn't looking and there was no explanation as to why. yes, to prove he was possessive, but placing that scene in the chapter made it seem like foreshadowing that he was capable of crazy things due to his overwhelming emotions-- but no.

insufferable character attributes

Emma, one of the 2 female leads, mentions multiple times how Edward is the kind of man she prefers- an ALPHA man. Me personally, it was cringey and almost made me want to stop continuing my reading. I don't want to yuck anyone's yum, and the author may have done this on purpose to prove a point- but i was simply bothered by it. as the book goes on, emma even becomes more insufferable and starts calling edward daddy. to the point where i feel ashamed reading the book next to my classmates in school because i don't want them to peep over and see what embarrassing things i am indulging in.

no foreshadowing + poorly thought-out twist ending

these bullet points are kind of out of order but im too lazy to fix them and im sure u on tumblr dont give much a fuck. maybe i didn't properly go back in the book to search for these details, but simon never gave away that he could have been obsessed. Yes, it was obvious that he was deeply in love and attached to emma, but there was no sense of foreshadowing period- nothing to make the readers go "oh my gosh it all makes sense now!" or "how did i not realize before?!" maybe lack of foreshadowing was the way the author got us to not easily guess the ending but i think that a plot twist should at least SLIGHTLY be hinted at. because the ending , to me, seemed like it wasn't thought through all the way. I would have loved the plot twist of simon being the true killer if it had made sense. if edward's weird behavior had an explanatation,, if simon showed a bit more obsession beforehand,, if all the details in the book had a meaning that built up towards this plot twist... i would have been in love with the book. unfortunately, i cannot bring myself to sit through the show due to these details. (mostly because of emma saying daddy too many times for comfort.)

OVERALL

i am thankful for the journey of the book (mostly) but i could have had a better destination. i will not dismay people from reading it, but if i had the choice, i'm not sure whether or not i would take back the time i took out of my life reading The Girl Before by JP Delaney.

Progress is being made on the tyrannosaur block! Steve is removing pounds of matrix to expose the neck of Tantalus/Denver's Tyranno/Little Denver (nickname debate ongoing) with the ZPT-BR (ZOIC Bronto). This dinosaur was found in the "death pose", meaning its neck is bent over its back. The top of the head should be near the hip region.

Spaceships in the ZOIDS Franchise

The Globally III, from Zoids Bible Pt 10, a scout ship sent out for a 250 year journey with 200 passengers. The Globally crashes on Zi during the Central Continent War between the Helic Republic and the Zenebas Empire, and the survivors where taken captive by both sides in the war and their technology was used to improve existing zoids technology. (Source: https://theironbible.com/ZoidBooks/ZoidsBible/Part10.php)

The ZOIC-NOA, from the Concept Art Book released in 2010 (which tied into the app game Material Hunters). In this continuity humanity is facing possible extinction because Earth can no longer sustain life, so they evacuated the planet. The ZOIC-NOA and the ZOIC-Lab, a ship containing DNA samples of Earth animals, had an accident during space warp and landed on a planet laden with heavy metals and populated by primitive silicon-based lifeforms. The inhabitants of the ships used the DNA samples in their lab to integrate Earth animal genetics into the native lifeforms, thus accelerating their evolution and creating animals very similar to Earth. Essentially, this book is kind of a soft reboot detailing the origin of Ancient Zoidians as a group of human refugee-explorers rather than naturally evolving independently on Zi.

The Globally III, or GIII, as portrayed in Zoids Concept Art II.

Also a nice look at what I presume are normal, non-living vehicles:

The Whale Kaiser, based on the fuselage for a whale type zoid and using the propulsion system of the GIII. In the Zoids Concept Art book 4, this ship is sent out from Planet Zi as an exploratory vessel to look for off-world energy sources after the most recent war (Source and further reading: https://theironbible.com/ZoidBooks/ConceptBook4.php).

I'm back. Found three.

The first one, Zoic is a Adrienette fic set at Jurassic World during the whole Indominus Rex incident. Adrien is working there as a gift shop cashier, Marinette is visiting, and we never learn anything else because it hasn't updated in 8 years, having only two chapters.

Moving on, we have The Girl that Runs With Raptors, a Lukanette fic that has Marinette as the titular girl at Jurrasic Nation, the sequel to Jurrasic World. Which seems kind of a odd progression, but I digress. So she runs with raptors who also have the same names as the Kwami. Interested? Too bad, as it hasn't updated in four years and there's only one chapter.

Finally we have Into The Dinos Den, which I think is just putting the Miraclass and two OC siblings of Marinnete who were added to the class into the plot of the Camp Cretaceous spin-off. There's only one chapter which was put out October of last year. They haven't gotten to the Camp yet, if you were wondering.

I only really skimmed all of those, so I may have gotten some things wrong.

There were some other results on ao3 but they were all either one-shot collections or mass crossovers in which neither Miraculous or the Jurassic Park series were a focus.

Absolute rip

Odds are, you've been saying this children's book author's name wrong since you (or your children) were young. No, it doesn't rhyme with "Zeus." Instead, it rhymes with "voice," making the pronunciation "Soice."

Alexander Liang, a friend of Dr. Seuss, wrote a brief poem to remind people of the correct pronunciation:

You’re wrong as the deuce

And you shouldn’t rejoice

If you’re calling him Seuss.

He pronounces it Soice (or Zoice).

Back at the Lambeosaurus (Liberty) quarry! I've been using a ZOIC T-Rex and modified Chicago Pneumatic CP-9361 to trench around bones so they're able to be jacketed and collected.
