#with ZERO sympathy

been reading a run of horror/thriller novels lately. i've specifically been looking for ones that aren't too intense, ones that are a bit generic or not intended to be especially earthshattering. and i've been largely enjoying it, but, for anyone else who also enjoys reading horror/supernaturaly thrillers, i just wanna stake a quick red flag over J. H. Markert's The Nightmare Man. Not gonna say "don't read". however. AM going to say two things: thought it was a first novel until i saw the six other titles at the back; was astonished at the amount of gratuitous ableism throughout. Also felt it was a bit racist and sexist but not in an overt way, in a nagging uncomfy way.
#details in tags bc i hate to openly hate on things#please allow me this sotto vocce bitching#so 1: the first novel thing.#i noticed a few typos - more than normal - and there were a lot of extremely confusing sentences that i felt an editor should have caught#there were a lot of just Off phrasings#and very little concrete character descriptions and connective action descriptions#so a lot of things were like - oh that happened already?#the plot was also really oddly paced and overly complex#the worldbuilding was also dripped in a way that was like. just uneven#so on that level i was just feeling like it's Okay but just not experienced#2. the ableism#so there's a central background semi-villanous psychiatrist who builds an asylum.#that CAN be done less horribly#i lately read the children on the hill which had the same conceit but was much more sympathetic#anyway. the portrayal of the many mentally ill (actually possessed by nightmares) people we encounterer was so ridiculously flat and cliche#like. to a point that was distinctly uncomfortable over and above the inherent bullshit#because these were. people who were literally supernaturally not in control of their actions. and they were described so animalistically#with ZERO sympathy#except for one woman who was young and hot and whose ridealong nightmare demon just seduced married men rather than kill anyone#and then the ultimate villain came from a deeply toxic family environment and was like the most stereotypical#bad criminal minds episode quote unquote psychopath#and there was ZERO narrative reflection on anything - the kid was just born evil apparently#the father of that kid also had a limb difference and a cleft palate and there was like. so much made of this#but nothing done with it except the guy's wife was cheating on him with his dad#and the narrative essentially justified it bc of this guy's differences#it was just sort of like. a really bad criminal minds episode meets arkham asylum meets what i think nightmare on elm street is about#it was also just blandly racist and sexist#ran out of tags. know i am fuming.

once again rich capitalists treat safety regulations as a pesky way for the government to take money away from them and not as the literal testament in blood of all the people that have died or been injured because of unsafe situations

One thing that genuinely astounds me is how certain people are under the impression that Aemma Arryn and Alicent Hightower are equal victims, who would comfort each other in the afterlife for what “big, bad” Viserys did to them.
As if Queen Aemma wouldn’t pull Alicent’s hair by its dark roots for what she did to her only daughter, Rhaenyra.
But seeing as how Alicent is in the Seven Hells, Aemma likely wouldn’t get her chance.

It’s incredibly funny that every single poster crying her eyes out over the poor sad lives of wealthy right-wing women living the lives they’ve chosen and are making bank grifting off are, consistently and without exception: terfs/radfems, and also rabid swifties. Every fucking time. Weird how their rotten little hearts just break at the very thought of a white woman with more money than they could ever imagine having the slightest inconvenience in the lives and images they’ve put huge amounts of work into cultivating. Truly these poor ladies have suffered like saints in the lives they’ve somehow accidentally fallen into (definitely not incredibly competitive jobs they’ve actively sought, why any woman could end up a billionaire housewife pop star ballerina!).
Like fucking clockwork.

I SCREAMED when I saw fulltacs post because of fucking course that user was going to stir shit up. Of course. And talking about how their friends encouraged them to make a call out post against you like they had no agency….like okay
I’m very petty and it’s actually extremely bad for me as a person but unfortunately I Do in fact remember things that happened earlier this year. And while I absolutely believe in personal growth, I also believe in hypocrisy and jumping on a bandwagon lmaoo

Guys I had a dream (nightmare?) about Mr Bonzo last night and let me tell you it was VIVID. I was in my backyard and I had to take something to Mr Bonzo except he started talking to me in normal speech and it was really scary and it ended with me having to fight him but I told him I had to go inside and get water before we fought (cuz I was trying to figure out how to get out of this).
so i went inside and was crying and was like "mom dad Mr Bonzo is trying to kill me" and they were like "that's rough, good luck" and then I woke up
????
What??? Jonny wtf??? I blame this on you???

 I have been seeing far too much content trying to paint Belos as a sympathetic character. 
He’s not.
You can be mad all you want, he is not a sympathetic character.
Want to know what he is?
A fascist, prejudiced, and overall delusional man who is designed to be seen as nothing more than a sad, irredeemable fool.
He was given a list worth 300 years of witches being nothing but peaceful so long as you returned the favor. People who were no different than him. He spent years mutilating himself with the explicit purpose of committing mass genocide.
 He was given a hand to reach to in the form his brother; the boy who raised him after he was dropped in his lap when he was a grieving teenager. Who, even after seeing countless acts of severe distrust towards witches, towards him, still loved and trusted Belos. Who asked for nothing in return but for Belos to trust his judgement in knowing what good for himself.
And what did Belos do? He looked Caleb in the eyes, spat him in the face for his kindness, and then stabbed him in the back. He then proceeded to spend centuries creating version of his brother to abuse and kill due to some strange mix of enjoying the pain of his brother, relishing in the suffering of all those around him, and a bizarre sense of entitlement to his brother life and loyalty.
He had more than enough time and resources to get over his own bigoted attitude. He just didn’t.
Don’t try and tell me that “It’s just how he was raised.” There are more than a few cases of people in History being raised in far more prejudiced environments, looking around and realizing “We are assholes actually” and changing for the better without nearly as much time or proof to the contrary as Belos.
Belos and his backstory is purposefully treated with a level of casualty that is designed to give off the impression that he is NOT sympathetic or complex. He is a sad man who baby raged for 300 years instead of getting over himself.

watching house is a trip but hearing the writers early opinions is so funny "he's not autistic he's just an eccentric jerk" "house isn't in love with wilson they're both straight" not only did you write an autistic bisexual you also gave him adhd and complex ptsd.
