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

Sorry, no stream tonight.
Twitch and OBS are both being absolute dicks and I've spent the last hour trying to fix it to no avail.
I'm really sorry everyone
You ever read some angst and then just....sit there staring blankly at your screen trying to think of anything but what you just read because the emotional scars are too deep and if you don't become distracted soon a floodgate of emotions will open that you are in no way prepared to deal with?
In conclusion: tag your fucking angst people, wtf?!
Projeto Identidade (Project Identity) is an exhibition in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil that is recreating pop culture images using people of color.
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
Teen Wolf has the best fucking soundtrack since One Tree Hill. And OTH had a banging soundtrack
Here’s my book rant for you. Boneyard by Seanan McGuire.
It’s set in the Deadlands setting, so basically Wild West but with monsters and some magic.
The book is about a traveling circus and the woman who has to tend to the monster exhibits while raising her mute daughter and running from her crazy narcissistic and abusive husband.
Overall, I’d say the book is really good, but there one thing that really sticks a thorn in my side.
So the circus has a collection of various monsters. There’s these red pirhanna things with teeth so sharp they bite themselves constantly, sending them into a feeding frenzy. They’ve got crazy poisonous spiders with skull patterns on their backs, they’ve got wasps the size of your forearm, an ENORMOUS catfish, a corn stalker which is this this pumpkin headed plant person.
Then, there’s the bloodwire.
What is a bloodwire you might ask?
I can’t tell you because apparently the author can’t either.
Throughout the ENTIRE BOOK they are constantly alluding to the bloodwire as a creature they have, but never once is it described or shown in action.
At one point the book even goes “and she told the little girl about the bloodwire” but NEVER ONCE DO WE AS THE READERS GET TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
It seemed like for the entire book, the author was building up mystery around the bloodwire, deliberately concealing it so she could reveal it at the end as the circus’ most dangerous monster, maybe it would come in handy in the book’s final confrontation.
Literally all of the other circus monsters are used, except the bloodwire. I’m half convinced the author forgot about it halfway through.
That’s my book rant
I feel like a curse has been passed onto me because now I desperately want to know wtf a bloodwire is but I know that there is no answer. It is a curiosity that cannot be satisfied
