My Oblivion character just tripped off the pier and fucking died???

(Not pictured: the adoring fan finds him and then suddenly the plot of Oblivion turns into Steven King’s Misery)

Had an intrusive thought and decided that it felt too much like the concept for a poem I’d need to analyze in high school. (The thought itself was “those rocks are teeth. You’re walking on teeth. Teeth. Teeth. Teeth” while I’m just trying to go to forensic anthropology)

Elizabeth Sanctus. Ballerina, rebellion leader, overpowered genekinetic. She's got it all (except a stable family life, could she get one of those please?).

Yknow what really grinds my gears? Really whips my nae-naes? Rumbles my jumbles? (I could go on, some of these are funny).

I'm a college student. I pay tuition, I pay for housing, I pay for my meal plan. So WHY, in most institutions, is it NOT ALLOWED for me to take food from the dining hall?

Seriously, why? And don't say "quality insurance" because we all know dining hall food is 50/50 regardless of if I want to add more seasoning to my chicken or not. I paid for this food, this is my food. I swiped in for this. Whether your dining plan is unlimited or you have a certain amount of swipes, THE FOOD IS PAID FOR.

And it's not abusing the system. It can't be. What are we going to do? Take the food from the dining hall and then... not eat it? Big whoop!

My campus has a dining hall where you're allowed to do "take out" and you're given a little cardboard box thing to put food in. But if you do the take out option, you're banned from swiping into a dining hall again for that same "meal period". So if I get take out just as the lunch rush starts, but then I'm starving a couple hours later after class, TECHNICALLY that's still lunch and I CAN'T ENTER A DINING HALL.

And I'm not about to dox myself but like... Kutztown pull yourself together. And all colleges/universities.

you are so pretty

thank you for being so pretty

Ah, my homosexuals. It got so much weirder and worse.

Let's start with Jessica. I assume she's meant to be the love interest. This is a man writing this, after all. Jessica is nothing more than a sexy lamp. She does nothing. Replace her with a lamp? The story does not change. Honestly, the story would better.

Alicia. Oh, Alicia... Once again, a man writing about a girl being sexually abused and that's the crux of her power fantasy. She wants to be in control, to the point where no one else could be more powerful. So does every man, try something new babe. Also, goes without saying, men stop writing about female characters getting raped challenge, level impossible.

David remains a Gary Sue, evil weird company guys want his spinal fluid to... *checks notes* cure cancer?? THIS ISN'T EVEN THE MAIN PLOT BY THE WAY it just comes out of left field with 5 pages left.

Oh my fucking GOD it's a series, too. Look at the goodreads reviews...

Not to sound pretentious, my writing is nothing to write home about, but there is NO CONCEIVABLE WAY all of the books in the series are rated 4+ stars. Camp Damascus, the book that made me WEEP and I connected deeply to, is at an average of 3.92. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, which I'm willing to bet is the next Edge of Tomorrow, averages at 3.81. This book? Just this one? 4.01. I'm sorry, there is absolutely no way.

Self publishing is great, good for you for writing a book, truly, but I'm not going to rate it highly because of that effort. Did I enjoy it? No. Did I like the characters? No. Was I concerned for the wellbeing of any of the characters? No.

Like I said, this is something I would have written in middle school (derogatory)

The Witches of Scotland: Dream Dancers 1

Oh boy.

I don't do proper book reviews, I just throw it on goodreads and call it a day. But this shit? Bear with me.

To begin, it reads EXACTLY like something I would try to write in middle school. That would be absolutely fine if this was a book for middle-grade readers. It most certainly is not. The main character is obviously a self-insert and the magic system is elementary, at best.

Nothing wrong with having a SIMPLE magic system, but now it's been complicated by weird titles and making the main character overpowered. Not just having high level magic, but being THE highest. "But, Kay, wouldn't someone being all-powerful make it more interesting to follow?" NO, and here's why.

David is a fucking Gary Sue. He doesn't work for his powers, he doesn't struggle for them. It's that Onision book all over again, Reaper Creek. It's one thing entirely if the character is powerful but struggles with it, I eat that shit up. But when it's effortless? Give me a character with wimpy powers that's STILL our protagonist. We had Sky High, we can do it again.

I am... *checks progress* 62% done. I'll be back when I finish. I do not expect it to get better.

So I got this weird letter from Ancano

[kaywithbeans]

the story of kfc fucks me up man. the colonel founded this gas station that expanded to restaurant, the chicken at the restaurant gets popular, makes KFC, it gets big and he sells it to a corporation for a lot of money. realizes he got sorta scammed out of the true worth of kfc so tries to get more money and they refuse and the courts side against him. then he starts a new chicken restaurant claiming the corporate people were not making chicken to his standards and kfc sued him because kfc owned the colonel's likeness and the courts agreed. a corporation owned this man's name and appearance. he wasnt allowed to use either, thus legally erasing his reputation making it harder for him to get taken seriously in any food venture. the man, to the day he died, was going into kfc's and throwing fits because the food had fallen into such bad shape he hated it was associated with him. and it's like, whether he's a bad man or a good man or whatever, a corporation owned his identity, stopped him from using his reputation and identity in other businesses, and refused to acknowledge his outrage that they changed his recipes and still attributed it to him. this is literally the obnoxious plot of a jay and silent bob movie, but it was this dude's real life. what the fuck.

Anyway stream rät by Penelope Scott-

The fact that Tesla autopilots abort self driving 1 second before a crash so the company can state “self driving wasn’t active during the collision” should be grounds to dismantle the entire company.

Like, seriously, if you’re making 4000 pound death machines, and you program this shit to work on a technicality? Your company should be dismantled. Gone. No recourse. Just terrible shit dude

fantasy story: but we grew complacent, indulgent, arrogant, spoiled by this era of prosperity and splendour, and in our short-sighted greed and vanity, we ended it. me at 15: I hate this stupid trope. People aren't going to just turn stupid and ruin everything just because things have been "too good" for "too long". Why does this author think that people are inherently stupid and evil? people on social media in 2024: I'm not going to vaccinate my dogs or my children because polio, measels and rabies are so rare they're not a real threat anyway uwu me at 30: Ah. I see.
