If Sexual Activity Between Same-gender People Became Illegal, The Police Would Be The Ones Enforcing

Ohhhhhhhhh i have some RAGE against Normal People by Sally Rooney. Can I understand, intellectually, that there are legitimate reasons to like this book? Yes. Do I emotionally agree with any of them? ABSOLUTELY NOT. First off this book was impossible to read easily because of the lack of punctuation, what was up with that!! Beyond that the relationship between the two main characters was just bad and really imbalanced, and also I was not interested at all. Also the weak ass Marxist commentary??? Girl didn't even commit 🤣 And to top it all off, I read this for a bookclub for a college that I did all the precollege stuff for, and they DIDN'T EVEN LET ME IN!!!!!! Anyways fuck this book so much, enjoy my rant :)

I accept and appreciate your offering.

It's bullshit that they didn't let you in. Book clubs are supposed to bring people together, but some of them get so snobby.

There's also Yhara Zayd! She discusses various films and TV shows. She's very intelligent, insightful, and has a really soothing voice.

Anyway if you all are sick of watching White Lady (and White Dude) Leftist content talking about popular fandoms and internet culture, check out some of these creators on Youtube. Not an exhaustive list, feel free to add your own. I tried to stick to a similar theme, but there is some variation.

Harriyanna Hook, who focuses on nostalgic properties through the lense of a black woman.

Jacob Geller, a Jewish man who does deep dives into various media. Mostly horror and sci-fi.

Kennie JD, a black woman that does this excellent series called bad movies and a beat every week on Saturday. A series where she reviews bad movies (often terrible romantic comedies and bad horror movies) while putting on her makeup.

D'Angello Wallace, a black man that focuses on internet culture, media, and people of interest. Sometimes shorter videos, sometimes deep dives. He used to be an art channel but now focuses more on culture than art.

Xiran Jay Zhao, a Chinese woman in who looks at media and focuses on the tokenism and appropriation of Asian culture.

T1J, who talks about culture, media, and social issues through the lens of a black man. He also has big Dad Energy.

Lady Knight The Brave, a Jewish woman who does deep dives into various media, often ones that have big fandoms attached.

Ada on Demand. A black woman that talks about social issues and culture, with a focus on pop culture.

Reignbot, a Filipino non-binary person that focuses their content on horror and ARGs and true crime.

Tee Noir, who focuses on various media, culture, and social platforms through the lens of a black queer woman.

Hi I saw you asked for rants on ya books! I couldn't think of any I really hated but I wanted to talk anyway since you offered me a free chance to ramble! Okay so I read this book a while ago so I don't remember the details well but I remember that I complained about it after reading it. I did actually like the book but it's the first one I thought of to talk about so!

The pacing in the book is wild. I was interested in the book throughout but from what I remember most of it was low key and not a lot of action, then things pick way up right at the end. The book felt like it ended in the middle of the climax! Very few plot threads were resolved and the cliffhanger felt like it came out of nowhere.

I don't remember most of the book very well but I think the cliffhanger was the protagonist got kidnapped by a major figure who I think was introduced way late but I could be wrong about that? But he was planning to work with her to achieve both their goals, and he flew away with her on a dragon. And then she fell off. I can't remember if she did that deliberately or accidently. I think deliberately would have been out of character?

I really think it could have ended with them both on the dragon. That would have left the reader considering the character's situation and future and how they'll deal with this. I don't really remember the guys offer since it got overshadowed immediately after even though it should have been a big deal.

Her falling off the dragon did not leave me thinking about how that would be resolved, it left me thinking "what the fuck." I actually think it would have been a good way to start the sequel (which I know nothing about, I haven't read it, I don't even know if it's been published or not) since it would kick the story into action immediately. Placed at the end of the book, and just happening randomly, it's just bewildering instead of exciting.

Like I've said probably several times I don't remember the story well because it's been a really long time since I read it, but I remember complaining most of the plot threads aren't resolved. I don't think they felt set up to be resolved in a sequel, either. I think that and the pacing are what made it feel like the book ended during the climax of the story, plus the twist kidnapping? (Maybe she agreed to go, actually, I don't know.) and fall feeling like it came out of nowhere. I don't think the level of tension and the stakes were balanced throughout the story.

Maybe I'm being harsh on the book because most of what I remember about it was my complaints about it, because I did enjoy reading it (I only started having problems with it after I finished it, probably because the ending was wild but in a weird way instead of in a fun way)

I keep almost knowing what book this is, but then the title just flies away. Like the dragon at the end of this book, I guess.

If anyone recognizes this and knows the title, then for the love of God please let me know! This is going to drive me bonkers

hello there, just wanted to say I just followed you FOR THE JUICY DELICIOUS BOOK RANTS hae a good day, evening, or whatever time it is when you read it <3

Thank you!!

The book rants are delicious. I love them.

Also, sorry to everyone that I have been neglecting them lately. I accidentally let them build up a bit and got a little intimidated by how many there are. I'm going through them, though, and should have them responded to within the next few days

Bisexuals in media: "I don't really like labels, you know. I just date who I want. We don't have to call it anything."

Bisexuals in real life: "Hey, I'm bi! Have I mentioned that I'm bi? You have to understand, I am bisexual. Bi. I am bi. I love being bi. Did you know that I'm bi? Check out my bi pride shirt/poster/pin/shoes/tattoo. Isn't it awesome that I'm bi?"

so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)

I apologize greatly for the slur my idiot roommate said during the stream. Things have been thrown at him and I reprimanded him harshly. I am sorry he was such a dick.

I have switched over to playing Dragon Age: Origins, and you will not have to worry about his dumbass being involved.

I think I have a problem.

An Etsy problem.

There's just so much cute things being sold by awesome, hardworking people and I want to buy it all!

But I have no money.

Life is cruel.

to be perfectly honest, long before everyone realized jk rowling was a piece of shit, i thought her writing was terribad. fit for second graders at best, even with her aspirations to tell a "darker" story. i literally picked up a book, saw a character named remus lupin, said to myself and he's a werewolf hurr hurr. 400 pages later, big SURPRISE REVEAL HE'S A WEREWOLF. who was already named remus lupin before he even got turned. frankly get the fuck out of my face with that shit.

Dude I get it. I guessed the big twist of every single one of those books, and I was reading them back as they were coming out. Joanne does the most hand-holding foreshadowing I have ever seen.

I think everyone (including Baby Robi, I'm not innocent here) just fell in love with the sandbox she created and didn't want to look at all the cat turds that got mixed in

yall are a little too good at replicating the old tumblr fandom posts please stop i feel like a veteran on the fourth of july
