dear god yes yes yes to everything you said Carly

I actually didn’t dislike him at all in the first reading, but then this time I decided to use a “what would I feel if I were to work with them” point of view, and hot damn would I hate Liam as a colleague so fucking much. Imagine working with someone like this on a matter of life and death.

I know Cole can be shitty in his own way but I now have even more appreciation of him every time he didn’t chuck Liam off a cliff.

Because after re-reading (the first 3/4 of) In the Afterlight, and noting down all my thoughts along the way, I realized that my notes marked a slow disintegration of my sanity and my faith towards the man, the idiot, the legend, Liam Michael Stewart.

These are the ones where the faith was still there. I also called Cole the third wheel a lot because let’s face it he kinda is

(3/3, I think)

And here’s the finale, where the faith is completely gone, and replaced by full-blown fury

Here’s the second batch, where the faith started to shake:

2022 ending strong with Andr*w fucking T*te arrested and a newsletter from Alex Bracken!

(I apologize for putting their name in the same sentence, which is why I censored the piece of shit’s name)

I cannot wait for Silver in the Bone! I’ve always love Arthurian legends 🥰

Let’s do this baby!

ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”

more cis feminists should have this mindset

I just reread the last part of Never Fade on christmas eve

I must have mentally blocked this bit the past couple of times because I read this part and felt like someone had punched me in the throat

y’all remember what tomorrow is?

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Discussion time!

We know that Ruby’s call sign/code name in the League is Tangerine, and Jude’s is Sunshine, both based on their Psi color, and Cate’s is Sunflower. What about the others? What do you think Nico’s, Vida’s, and Cole’s call sign would be?

[apherod]

I did not realize that! I was the same age as Liam at that time

(And yes I might be the oldest The Darkest Minds fan I know)

ten years!! it’s been ten years since the first book of The Darkest Minds came out. how old were you all when the first book came out? I was twelve

Rereading The Darkest Minds series (as you do) and searching for related things when I finally realized why I thought Liam was 6’1” and Cole was 6’3”:

In one of the behind the scenes of the movie, Harris Dickinson, aka actor of Liam in the movie, mentioned that a prop yoga mat in the Betty van has to be specially made for him because he is 6’1”, and for some reason I brain farted and forgot that I got this info from the actor and just treat it as canon.

Cole cuddling with his flareon is so cute I’m gonna combust

Ruby: Espeon She spoils her pokemon. She has one of those bubble back packs that are for cats for her Espeon.

Cole: Flareon all the way. He trains with his pokemon. They go on 3 mile runs together. Cole has been caught cuddling with flareon and claims it was only cause he was cold, and the pokemon was warm.

Vida: Mankey Vida's pokemon team consists only of fighting types. She has a strict training regiment for her pokemon.

Liam: Vaporeon Cole was pissed Liam chose an eeveelution like him. Liam also spoils his pokemon. He bought Vaporeon little boots because he doesn’t want his precious pokemons little feet to get hurt.

Chubs: Persian He feeds his pokemon only the best food. They are getting all the vitamins possible.

Zu: Flaffy Its cute, it's pink, its an electric type, what else needs to be said. Zu ties little bows around Flaffy's horns.

Jude: A duo of Plusle and Minus They match his energy. Jude let's them have his sleeping bag even if it means freezing to death. Buys them all of the treats at the store. They all have matching hats.

Nico: Pysduck Bolth Nico and Psyduck are always in a state of anxiety. He saw that no one wanted Psyduck and felt bad and chose him. Nico also has a soft spot for psycho  psychic types

If I’m going to be honest, I feel that this wouldn’t be a problem because the scientists never meant for any of them to leave outside of a body bag…

But on a brighter note, they could also be prepared to just justify the scars as part of the treatment.

do the other kids at Leda have scars?

I know they didn’t leave any on Clancy because he was the Presidents son and people would notice. But also I don’t think they wanted to leave scars on the other kids in case they escaped, so they couldn’t accuse Gray of anything.
