I Have To Say, Kirkwall Seems Like Such A Nice, Respected, Not-at-all-terrifying Town.

No stream tonight. Sorry. I have hit the "can barely move" stage of exhaustion

For the book rant- Fahrenheit 451

ITS SO UNDERRATED and listen I don't know if there's controversy about the book or the author, probably, but HOLY CRAP THAT ENDING BLEW ME AWAY

I literally had to put the book down and cry because I was just so taken aback by how devastating and totally world ending that is for the characters. I mean come on, the whole city? A WHOLE CITY? The way it's described is beautiful and I read it over a year ago, that scene is permanently engrained in my brain. It's just so...real. I just felt so bad for them. I can't help how frustrated I get over the lack of love for it.

Its appreciated as a work of "classic" fiction but not for how emotional it is

Well this was entirely unexpected.

Let's all take a moment to bask in some positivity

Also, have you watched the movie? The one from the 60s, not the newer one. It's very good, and has a much nicer ending

Anyone else think Joe Hill might have a problem with women?

I just finished The Fireman, and I've been reading through the short stories in 20th Century Ghosts, and, uh....I don't think he likes women much.

I'm thinking of re-reading Heart Shaped Box next and see if the issue is as prevalent in that as I remember.

Also, I could rant for hours about all the problems I have with The Fireman. I might just do that soon. But thinking about that book too much makes me kind of mad, so I try to keep my mind on other things.

Come join me on twitch for some more Far Cry 5

Not me only now watching Teen Wolf like 5 years after it ended

I'm watching Phantom Blood again, and I like to think that Dio Brando decided to do one nice thing for Jonathan.

And that one nice thing was killing George Jostar.

Like, Dio spent years watching how George treated Jojo and was just like "Damn! I might hate Jojo with every fiber of my being, but no one deserves to be treated like this by their own dad. I'm gonna spend the rest of my time destroying this guy, but I'll at least do him one favor and get rid of his asshole dad for him."

Hate the Maximum Ride series I hate it. It had so much potential but James Patterson wouldn’t know consistency if it hit him in the face. Like the part where the gang went to Antartica? It felt like I had missed a book with how much had happened. And Izzy’s mom going from dead to actually being married and thinking he was dead? Whack. Within a couple of chapters too like. I could be remembering wrong but what kind of inconsistency was that?

I've never read this series, but because my brain is utterly broken, I have watched multiple hours long videos about it. And even then, with all that knowledge, having it all condensed down to it's most straightforward and coherent, I could in no way give you a cohesive plot summary. Like, I think they stop the apocalypse, stop the climate crisis, and then it doesn't matter because the apocalypse happens anyway? Maybe? I don't know.

I don't think even James Patterson knows.

I'm starting to think he's not even a real person. Just every now and then, a book appears in the world with that name on it. It never goes to an editor, no publishing house actually handles it, it's never even been to a printer. It just appears in bookstores and we as a society just don't question it

We've taken the valley, now let's head into the mountains.

Join me on twitch for Far Cry 5

Hogwarts Legacy is really bringing out all the fair-weather allies, ain't it? All the people who will totally say that they support the trans community, that they're willing to fight antisemitism, and talk about how important it is for the non-marginalized to stand up for the marginalized.

But ask them to not buy one single game out of the hundreds that will be released this year? Then it's all "you can't tell me what to do; you're never satisfied with anything; this is why people don't support you; buying the game doesn't support rowling at all; no ethical consumption under capitalism"

Like, thanks I guess for letting us know that you don't actually care about marginalized people. Now we know who actually gave a shit and wanted to help and who just wanted a new space to dominate
