I have a condition called bisexuality which means I’m hot and whenever I see a bisexual Osemanverse character I gain more power

fortunately for us, i’m excellent at faking being okay with things, even when inside my brain there is a tiny screaming gnome who is definitely not okay

I just finished I Was Born for This for the first time
And holy shit every time I read one of Alice's works I am fucking destroyed emotionally
My eyes are swollen from crying so much and I couldn't put the book down
Alice Oseman really is incredible

“Most adults see teenagers as confused kids who don't understand much, while they're the pillars of knowledge and experience and know exactly what is right at all times. I think the truth is that everyone in the entire world is confused and nobody understands much of anything at all.”

I'm just saying out of all of Alice Osemans books I Was Born for This is the one I would most love to get a sequel. Even though Solitaire is my favorite there's just so much more possibilities for an IWBFT sequel. Also I just would love to see what happens to the characters after IWBFT.

INKTOBER DAY 7: Drip
Bliss is a milk-drinking icon. We know this. (I didn't google 'drip outfit' just to be sure, that would be silly)

Times in I Was Born For This where Rowan+Jimmy (and the occasional Bliss) really don’t know Lister at all. (an incomplete list)
“Wait, don’t tell me,” says Bliss, holding up a hand. “He’s already throwing up in the bathroom. Or he’s already found someone to have sex with.” (page 87)
*****
“You’re the one who does this stuff all the time.” [they were talking about Jimmy kissing Magnet during Lister’s party] (page 93)
*****
“Fuck off, thinking you can help us, thinking you have any fucking understanding of what it means to care about someone, you fucking sex addict!"(page 103)
*****
“How d’you get away with it?” I ask him.
“With what?”
“Getting with so many people.” (page 125)
*****
“We thought he was having sex with someone, or several someones, at every party we went to. And we’ve been to a lot of parties.” (page 127)
*****
"Neither of you get it. It's different for me." He turns to me with one last pleading look. "You and Rowan have each other, but you have to see that its different for me. Being Lister Bird."
I just shake my head. "What does that mean?"
The final bit of hope in his expression drops, and he walks away from the bed and towards the door.
"Why else would anyone want to be around me?" he says. "I'm Lister Bird. Why else would anyone want to be around me other than to get with me?" (page 130)
*****
“You know what he’s like. He’s reckless. He does what he wants.” (page 322)
*****
“Why are you always like this? You just don’t give a shit about literally anything, do you?” (short story at the end)
*****
special mention: “If I [Lister] tried to talk to Rowan about serious stuff, he’d probably just roll his eyes or laugh at me.” (short story at the end)
*****
