jews: the friends we lost are dead.

I've been thinking about how to say this for a while. None of us want to hear it, but it's true. The friends we've lost since October 7th? The ones who suddenly went mask-off, or started spouting horrible shit without a second thought?

They're dead.

They're dead, and like a parasite emerging from the host, they were killed by the people who were revealed to be within them the whole time.

You're not mourning the loss of a friend who's antisemitic. You're mourning the death of the version of them that wasn't. Because that version? It's dead, and it's not coming back.

Oh, sure, they might grow a brain and/or a conscience, reform themselves, and come back full of apologies. But that won't be the same person. It'll be a person who looks like that person and has many things in common with that person, but is also a reformed antisemite. The version of them that was never an antisemite? Died.

Does this mean you shouldn't forgive them? There's no way I can make that decision for you. There are people I've lost that I would forgive in a heartbeat. (I miss you, M. It was hard to lose you, Ja.) There are people I will never trust again as long as I live. (You deserve nothing more, Ju.) But you need to admit to yourself that the person that you knew, as you knew them, is gone forever.

If it felt like your friend died when they betrayed you? This is why.

on a scale of 1-10 how hard would it be to take fox robin dick into cunt (im not going to mention anal cause that shit would HURT.)

Listen. I'm not gonna tell you it's gonna be easy. But he's a good boy he'll bring lube and go slow promising not to knot you two together. But once he gets over excited you both are stuck for about an hour and you're over full. You can try to take it out but something tells me he's working against you dispite the apologies

The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

As I often say, horror comedies are not easy to do. And for as cheap and quickly thrown together as this movie is, it manages to strike an almost perfect balance between the two. It never feels like they're trying to be funny, just being funny, delivering off-beat remarks in a deadpan fashion that would later be echoed in films like Airplane. If you're a fan of the musical version—or just the works of Roger Corman—this darker version of the story is defiantly something that will be worth checking out.

7/10

Just finished the ATLA remake and I have some thoughts so here we go

• I HATE how Sokka is a shell of his original character. Like yeah they wanted a more “serious” tone but Sokka is quite literally the comedic relief character and he’s nothing like the original—the worst part is as his lines have potential to be funny but it’s all said so monotone it falls flat immediately

• Katara is SO stoic?? I think she’s show genuine emotion in her face 3 times in the entirety of S1. Katara is a character that is showing emotions and reacting to things around her!! I’m not saying her actress is bad by any means, but I just wish she put more expression into acting out Katara.

• honestly for Aang I don’t really have a comment? he’s pretty similar,, I do like the cool swirlies on his tattoos though those are nice

• not nearly enough appa content—I NEED MORE

• i think iroh and zuko are my favorite parts of this show, zuko’s actor is AMAZING and he’s really good at bringing out all my favorite parts in his character!! also I love how all through the season iroh is just tolerating zuko’s angsty teen attitude IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERYTIME

• plus the environment is BEAUTIFUL and is genuinely so pretty to look at, I LOVE THE SET IN THIS SHOW

anyways overall rating for me personally is 7/10, it’s not bad but for a series like avatar it should be better

#atla #atla live action #atla aang #atla sokka #atla zuko #katara #atla katara #zuko #sokka #aang #avatar aang #uncle iroh #atla iroh #appa atla #appa avatar #7/10 #it could be worse #but it also could be way better soooo

Stockholm Syndrome

The plot : 7/10

The yandere : 7/10

The artwork : 8/10 (season 1) and then 6/10 (season 2)

Artist : Pache

Author : Kimpa

A household name for intense toxic yaoi smut, this title has been around for awhile. The official version of the manhwa is slowly catching up with Raw. A quite decent read, although it loses quite a bit of the steam in terms of plot cohesiveness as well as the quality of the art. This manhwa works best when it embraces the psychological dark goodness aspect, but it becomes quite heart-warming on the later chapters and in my opinion it was a poor choice of the author.

Jeong-in was left with no choice but submitted to Seung-hyun’s whim when the younger roommate extort him with a secretly taped sex video. The manhwa brushed briefly the taboo aspect of having a boy to boy romance, which could give quite a realistic flavor, but unfortunately the author did not really flesh out this aspect.

The psychological extortion served as a great thriller fuel. I enjoyed a lot reading the horror of knowing that someone that the main character has always kinda looked down on now having the upper hand and using it against him. Scary premise and nice execution…

Until the separation arc in the middle and their reunion. It felt like the manhwa was written and drawn by two different groups. It is really disappointing, as this manhwa may get to be the next Lima Syndrome or Sadistic Beauty BL story in terms of its unrestrained approach to hardcore yandere thriller. There are elements of details in the earlier chapters that are quite nice to read, like the complex characterisation of Jeong-In. He is not the most likeable main character, but his way of thinking is realistic and believable. However he was rendered down to become a 2D shell of what he used to be when we arrived at the stockholm syndrome ark.

Anyway, such a pity for a quite promising story!

Robocop (1987). In a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.

This is a) so much better than I was expecting, and also b) so much better than it has any right to be? Sure, it's partly copaganda, but it's also a pretty scathing indictment of corruption in the police force and how capitalistic interests inherently treat people as disposable. Plus! It's a fun sci-fi movie! Plus the VFX are pretty darn sick. 7/10.

I had a dream last ugh where I was getting mugged outside my local seedy minimart right? And Fun Ghoul pistol whips the guy mugging me. So naturally I start thanking him, cause he just saved me right? But then Party Poison punshes me in the face, and Jet Star shoots me in my knee and foot, and once I'm on the ground Kobra Kid is kicking the shit out of me. My ribs specifically. The dream ended with all four of them spitting on me in creepy unison while I cried in the fetal position.

This whole dream mind you was incredibly realistic for no reason

BRO?? 7/10 your subconscious is wack

The Brothers Hawthorne Book Review

The Brothers Hawthorne Book Review 

You know, this book is pretty good! You might be taken aback by my surprise, but Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ series about the wealthy Hawthorne family has been fun at best and poorly characterized at worst.

The entire series has been carried on its entertaining elements: from the puzzles, riddles, and enjoyable (albeit predictable) twists and turns, only the plot and its labyrinthine lines has made these books enjoyable at all. 

However, this book tones down the puzzles and focuses a little more on the characters, a recipe that works really well for me and what I’ve essentially been begging Barnes to do since the first title, The Inheritance Games. 

This novel, called The Brothers Hawthorne, is a misnomer. It’s only about two of the brothers, Jameson and Grayson, leaving Nash and Xander as one-dimensional as they’ve always been. But hey, I’ll take it. Two brothers getting some characterization is better than the zilch we’ve been getting in previous books. 

The book alternates POV’s between Jameson and Grayson, chronicling different plotlines of them trying to solve two very different mysteries.

Jameson’s story follows a rather thin chain of events where he gets entangled with a secret club called The Devil’s Mercy. The club boasts clients of only the rich and powerful variety, a club that Jameson can’t help but be tantalized by. 

Jameson’s chapters simply follow him trying to get into The Devil’s Mercy, gain the attention of the man in charge, the Proprietor, and then solving a puzzle put forth by the Proprietor against other competitors for Vantage, a Scottish castle that belongs to Jameson’s estranged father. 

The focus on Jameson, for lack of a better description, is boring and ridiculous. It’s in my opinion that Barnes couldn’t think of anything better for Jameson to do than finding more rich people who are also hungry and who also love to play games. I like the bits with Jameson and his father, but there weren’t enough scenes of them.

Unfortunately, only a handful are sporadically sprinkled throughout the book. If there had been more of Jameson coming to terms with his complicated relationship with his mysterious father, it would have been much more interesting than anything dealing with The Devil’s Mercy. 

Grayson’s plotline, on the other hand, is handled with much more care and consideration. Even though the stakes are much lower (no Scottish castles or jumping onto bell towers) it's a hundred times more intriguing because I actually learned about Grayson’s emotions, his ties to his family, and his flaws. With Jameson, you kind of do, but it’s shallow and not nearly as deep as Grayson’s begrudging affection for his half-sisters. 

Grayson’s story essentially revolves around keeping the true nature of Sheffield Grayson (his father) dead and buried and away from his sisters. He sabotages their efforts in learning what happened to Sheffiled Grayson with the mentality of protecting them. However, the more time he spends with them, the more his affection—and his guilt—grows. 

While not the most novel of plotlines to exist, the emotions feel real at the very least. It’s the first time in the entire series where Grayson and Jameson feel like different, distinct people to me and not just pretty archetypes for Avery to agonize over.

Grayson’s family dynamics fascinated me much much more than any cockamamie game Jameson was playing in England because he’s constantly hungry due to an inferiority complex stemming from childhood. 

The relationships Grayson builds with his sisters and their mother, in addition to coming to terms with the fact that he’s not perfect and certainly not okay, is a heavier reckoning than Jameson trusting Avery with a secret that’s not that deep and not that interesting. 

Speaking of Avery, her bits were so painful that it hurt. 

Every time Jameson or Grayson mention her I wanted to retch. Her and Jameson are just so perfect together. Perfect to the point that it’s unrealistic and fake. Every time Jameson solves a riddle, Avery is right there with him, equal in terms of logic and intelligence. 

I get that Barnes wants to portray Avery as smart, but the idea that they’re completely and utterly synchronized every single step of the way feels so paltry and disingenuous that it makes me actively dislike any part of the book that contains both of them.

Jameson on his own is tolerable. Jameson “burning” for Avery and “breathing” for Avery is absolutely stupid. Thank goodness she was just a side character in this and didn’t have her own POV. 

Other than the complaints about Avery, The Brothers Hawthorne is an enjoyable read. Could the characterization be more complex and sophisticated? Yes. Is the plot pretty foolish and duplicitous? Yes. Is it more enjoyable than the last few books of the same series? Also, yes. 

Will I read the next installment? Unfortunately, yes. 

While The Brothers Hawthorne is a step in the right direction, these books are still more candy cotton fun than true substance. You know what though? Sometimes that’s okay. Not every book you read has to have an intricate plotline with heavy elements and intense characters. 

Sometimes books can just be fun. 

Sometimes all you want is cotton candy. 

Recommendation: The Brothers Hawthorne is probably my favorite book in the series since The Inheritance Games. If you’re still on the Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ bandwagon, don’t jump off now. Read The Brothers Hawthorne and enjoy the morsels of characterization that get tossed your way. 

Score: 7/10

A specific kind of pleasant morning:

Bach (heavy on the violins) on headphones, a hot breakfast you didn't have to work very hard to make, trying a new tea from your "advent" calendar, and adding your review of it to the spreadsheet your tea-sampling friends all share. Reading their reviews from yesterday. A glass of cold well water, warm socks.

#this morning brought to you(me) by Seasonal Unemployment #among other blessings #it was jasmine green tea today #7/10 #yesterday was oolong #8.5 #tomorrow - who knows? #probably a weird herbal #i wish upon all of you the kind of friend who makes you an advent calendar of things you both enjoy #to then enjoy together separately #if this isn't nice i don't know what is

Gill Grunt

Gill Grunt is a water core from Spyro’s Adventure. His primary attack is to shoot a harpoon from his harpoon gun, while his secondary is to shoot a stream of water. His tertiary is activating his water jet pack so he can fly a short distance above the ground. His upgrade paths enhance his harpoons (top) and his water spray (bottom). I would recommend the water spray path, as it unlocks the ability to have the water gun and jetpack never run out of water, which is very useful. His water gun does good damage with fantastic knockback. I definitely enjoyed him, but I think he's a little basic. Gill Grunt is a true longranger with a dash ability. It's noteworthy, and he's very beginner friendly, but he's a little boring for an experienced player. Overall: 7/10. I enjoyed him, but there are better longrangers in later games.

If you want to play a similar skylander, Gill Grunt plays similarly to other fast longrangers, like Flameslinger and Trigger Happy (both of Spyro's Adventure)

If you like to play co-op, Gill Grunt would play well with a shortranger, like Stealth Elf or Terrafin (both of Spyro's Adventure)
