top 5 moments in bad books you've read

there's so many directions and opposites so I'm going to just name things from max ride

When robert the lizard boy emerges from the decapitation of Mr chu, and when Robert the lizard boy is then never addressed, reacted to, or explained again

When the flock learned the manager of an African refugee camp was performing deadly scientific experiments on children in his way of playing God. Something Max calls 'nazi-scary' (the one ref ever to the taxis despite the nazi coding of Itex). The flock then runs away, and this is never mentioned again. Dr. God gives them Dylan and is friends with Jeb and no one blinks. Dr. God then goes on to create a plague in order to 'discover' the cure, an act which means Russia gives him control of their nuclear codes (he is not russian). Dr. God then triggers the apocalypse at the same time a meteor strikes, and one of the final humans on earth before being killed as final boss.

Total, a talking, flying mutant dog with the personality and interests of a middle aged man, marrying Akila, a normal dog who he explicitly cannot 'talk dog to'.

When iggy gained the ability to see the colour white, but only if it was in contrast to other shades of white. He could see Antarctica but nothing else. This is never addressed again

The fact the final book ended with every beloved child in the flick getting brutally murdered one by one, and that after that is VERY LATE revealed as an (obvious) trick, the reveal it was fake is capped by the revelation one of them secretly died for real

There are many many more

Ik ik Andrew claims to be allergic to the library but the bitch says shit like “Truth is irrefutable and untainted by bias. Sunrise, Abram, death: these are truths.” And Is your spine the spine of the righteous? Are you trying your best to step on my toes because you’re feeling the tragic weight of the holier than thou?”. He’s a fucking English nerd and I will die on this hill

tbh i'm thinking of writing a "bad timeline" version of NOTLC where evil!river is actually smart/careful enough to fool everyone into thinking he's the real river long-term, which allows him to actually gaslight zipper into being in a relationship with him, instead of going too fast and blowing his cover right away.

it's been two weeks and this is still on my mind, but i have no idea what to do with it. do i wanna go in the direction of creepy/condescending or affectionate?? bc if i do affectionate, i think i'd have to develop a relationship for him with a whole new character, and that's kind of a lot lmao.

but like. i did want him to get a lamb tattoo on his wrist after the events of NOTLC, so what if he met someone new but didn't get a chance to say his name so they started calling him "lamb" because of that? except he might find it a little bit condescending/annoying depending on his attitude towards that person lol.

got the idea that someone should use the nickname "lamb" for river (you know, because he's lamb coded), but tragically i do not have any existing characters who would call him that. i need to come up with a reason for someone to affectionately (or maybe condescendingly? that could be fun) call him "lamb" ASAP.

i hate you "pair the spares"/"everyone must be paired" tropes, i hate you forced last minute romances, i hate you implication that a happy ending means a romantic partner, i hate you amatonormativity
