YA books: There are 2 boys, the protagonist girl HAS to date one, but how can she choose? They are so incredibly different in every way!

The boys:

25-35 is such a weird fucking age because you’re 100% a bread-and-butter Standard Edition Millennial but the cool teens are like “ok boomer” because you have a Real Job but the actual Boomers at your job are like “I’m not going to listen to a literal fucking child” as they download 16 self-replicating viruses and meanwhile the Gen Xers are telling you to refinance a mortgage for a house you don’t have and you’re sitting there at the Adults Table with the pretty tasty casserole you cooked because you’ve finally figured out how to do that now but everyone is eating the Boomer’s store-bought macaroni instead and admittedly they do sort of taste similar so it probably wasn’t worth all the trouble of cooking from scratch and you’re trying to comfort the freshly-graduated sobbing 22-year-old next to you because she just woke up here and doesn’t know where she is but you have like maybe 5k dollars in a savings account labelled RETIREMENT that grows approx. twelve cents a year and you keep eating dry macaroni while smiling incomprehensibly and periodically blacking out like ??????????

You know maybe amatonormativity exists but it's hard to say that when I'm 90% sure gay people were not being encouraged to seek out relationships by the wider culture until maybe 2005-ish

Baby Yoda

the child is so funny to me because he’s a weird little gremlin with unimaginable mystic powers but he’s also basically a toddler. He can pick up a giant furry space rhino with his mind but can’t climb stairs. His only article of clothing is a dish towel that’s way too big for him and people just keep picking him up and putting him places because he’s the size of a rotisserie chicken. He gets plunked down in a cockpit or a classroom or a shrimp farm and he just goes “well, guess this is my life now.” He has killed a man but if you get tired of him you can stuff him in a sack. If you leave him unattended he wanders off to eat baby cave spiders. He has witnessed 37 murders and his primary caregiver is a heavily armed religious fundamentalist whose face he’s never seen. This kid is gonna be soooooo weird when he grows up.

Omg anon I am so honored! My partner and I just watched the final season last weekend and I was reminded of him and his pure love of frogs and I love him so much. This made my day! 🐸💚

There’s got to be a term to describe that like. Extremely specific era of children’s literature where all the books were novellas printed on low quality paper, pumped out on a near monthly basis, and made for series that sometimes stretched into hundreds of books

Animorphs. Goosebumps. Bailey School Kids. Babysitter’s Club. Magic Treehouse. Series that plague public libraries and second hand book stores to this day. A genre that was nearly wiped out overnight by the success of Harry Potter, and the newfound desire for kids to read long form literature

It was like pulp fiction for kids

Could you draw me a toad or frog? It can be really small and simple, I just wanted to request a small pick-me-up!
