I Read “Before I Fall” Because For A High School Class, And Let Me Tell You- I Have NEVER In All

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

Ok but Roma is such a pretty name. Roma. Roma Roma Roma. I could say it all day

I absolutely love Next Top Model. I have seen every episode of it so many times that I can't even think of a decent hyperbole here. It's an obsession. And I will rewatch it all many more times...except for ANTM Cycle 3.

I can't watch c3 again. I tried. I can't do it.

The way that Yaya, Toccara, and Kelle are treated is just so abhorrent and heartbreaking. It physically hurts me to watch it. Especially poor Kelle.

They took this gorgeous girl and broke her down to the point that she couldn't look at herself in the mirror without crying.

I will watch All Stars every day for the rest of my life before I watch c3 again.

Cassandra Clare drives me insane. Like. Her books had me insane for years. Then I read Queen of Air and Darkness and. Honest to god that ending.

So. I don't remember most of the books story (let alone how it made up 3 books over 400 pages at the minimum) except that if you were legally recognised as best friends you couldn't fall in love. No one knows the cost of this. The cost turns out to be turning into giant flaming naked people.iirc. That's the ending. No destruction, no one is saved. It's just a thing. That happened.

AND LIKE. WHAT THE FUCK. It's so anticlimactic. I don't get it. I don't get where it came from. I don't get why this was so foreboding. BESIDES THD YKNOW.

Also. What's the trigger for this to happen. Because Alec loved Jace (his legally recognised best friend) but that ended fine. Was it because it wasn't required? Because Alec fell in love with Magnus at the end? IDK. but also in the upside down world, they acknowledge their in love and have sex. Which a) really bad priorities. They're in a world where the villain of the Mortal Instruments committed mass genocide and they're having sex. b) WAS IT JUST SEX STOPPING TBEM?

I'm certain there must be an explanation in the books. But I was so confused even when I was reading it. So either this was made up on the spot or I'm going insane.

Oh my God, I just found out, like today, that the entire Mortal Instruments series takes place over five months!! Five!! Months!! That's it. That is so much in such a short time.

At some point, I am going to have to sit down with those books and comb through them to lay out the time line.

Cause I feel like this is going to be a Pretty Little Liars situation where they acted like Caleb was in Ravenwood for at least a year, but because of the PLL time line, he only visited for like a weekend.

Oh, Jace and Clary are so in love....girl, you have known each other for like a day, sit down.

Also, Clary is a stupid name that I will never take seriously. My brain always autocorrects it to Celery.

i often wonder how many ppl from 2012 tumblr are still active on here

are u also still here, lurking in the shadows????

a character can be as perceptive and insightful and intellectually curious as you can possibly imagine the fucking second they show signs of being a little rowdy or boisterous or just generally being cheerful and physically fit they instantly get slapped with the “dumbass” stamp because the faceless masses of general fandom trends still haven’t progressed beyond the immovable jock vs nerd dichotomy i guess

I’ll be going live with Final Fantasy XV at 11:30 EST

This is the dawn of my Chloe Gong Era

the catcher in the rye is horrible, the writing feels as a call for attention from a child, but a grown man writes it. It blows my mind that schools push this subpar book and demand kids read it. I have no idea why people consider this a classic

I promised not to judge, so I won't. I can see where you're coming from though

I am heading out of town for a few days and will have very limited internet access.

So this will be my last stream until at least Monday.

Please join me for Diablo III, a.k.a. The Easiest Game Ever
