#im so scared to read this book

[franken-loser]

I ordered the gay clervalstein script book (Monster by neal bell) and there was a preview of it with like 5 pages and i was like "omg!! Let me read this!" And two pages in victor is talking about how he tore into one of his sleigh dogs and ate it IM😧😧😧😧😧

i am upsetting myself at ungodly hours by imagining how the scene in apple and raven's dorm room must've looked like after raven refused to sign.

like imagine apple sobbing the night away and raven tries to comfort her only to be rebuffed and she spends the entire night awake and staring at the ceiling while the guilt eats away at her as she hears apple's quiet sobs.

and apple's there feeling so hurt and angry and alone, and in that moment she probably wants nothing more than a friend, a comforting presence, but she can't even look her bsf in the eye because she's just so upset about what's just happened.

idk there's something about the two of them being so steeped in distress and sadness because raven can't force apple to understand her and apple can't comprehend the reasons for raven's decisions.

and the two of them love each other SO MUCH, but right then they're just stuck in that suffocating dorm room with only each other for company, wondering what they're going to do next.

I got System Collapse for Christmas and after reading it I decided to reread the series and I'm rereading Network Effect and like.

The bit where Three volunteers for the rescue mission... Three's inner monologue feels less "mature" than Murderbot's. Maybe it's the 4-something years of being jailbroken and watching soap operas, maybe it's their differing deployments, base personalities, maybe Three is actually chronologically/experientially much younger, idk.

But Three is flailing. It has no clue what's going on or what to do. Depending on how B-E would respond to the broken governor module, it may have put itself in horrific danger on the chance to save its clients, on the word of killware with some fun stories. Three is relatable because I, too, tend to flounder in social situations where I don't know The Script.

Three is peeing its goddamn pants at ART's general everything, which is fair, especially since it's much more agitated than it was when Murderbot came aboard, and Three has had free will for like 20 minutes, not the multiple technical years MB had.

And while scared of this obscenely, impossibly powerful AI - after having finished helped its clients and done its specific task - with no real external motive:

Three looks at a situation where someone -the root of the killware that freed it, come what may- someone it technically doesn't know. Not a client, not even a human. Someone whose loss is making the terrifying transport incredibly upset; someone is in trouble.

And Three, who doesn't know the protocol for a situation as absolutely buck wild as this, approaches ART while ART is angry, and volunteers to help.

Can you imagine the fucking gumption of that? Three doesn't even know what it means to want things - it's never been allowed to want things before. It is terrified and confused and at a total loss. And it steps up to the scariest, angriest person in the room and says: let me help.

i really dont understand studying at all like genuinely i don't know what it is . i know about "taking notes" and "reading the textbook" and that's it . quizlet doesn't do shit for me because i don't know what to. do. with the cards. look at them ? am i supposed to just look at them . No one bothered teaching me actual skills bc i got good grades when i was 8 and now i am so hopelessly lost . why did no one think to teach me this for when stuff got harder than four plus three

For any horror fans out there that haven't read it yet: The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher is SO GOOD. I don't remember ever being so scared by a book

one of the lesser talked about fun things about intentionally reading more books is finding new stuff to be a bit of a hater about tbh
