Obscure #NonfictionReviews “Capital Gaines”

“Capital Gaines″ by @chipgaines (Part Three)

Parting thoughts:

There is something compelling about watching someone incredibly good at something be incredibly good at that thing. While it’s true that I personally am not particularly handy at any activity that requires me to use my anemic skills in that regard, I can appreciate results. Some of the things Chip and Joanna have pulled off are beyond impressive. Aesthetically they can create some beautiful homes, and there is an artistry to that which demands respect.

Coincidentally, I spent a lot of my time listening to this book while installing a self-adhering vinyl floor in a basement—and I hated every single moment of the exercise. I kept thinking to myself, I bet Chip could have done this in an afternoon while snapping yet another piece by accident. But even I have to admit after finally finishing the main room with it, that it did indeed look good. So I can understand why some people like this kind of work with their hands sort of life. Even if it would drive me insane.

This leads me to my concluding thought, and really just another thing that I loved about this book—I know I already did that section, but the balance must be observed. There is a section of this book where Chip talks about digging a hypothetical ditch with a stranger who is very different from himself. It’s my favorite part of the book because he imagines not agreeing with everything this stranger has to say or even completely understanding their worldview. Yet, they share a meal together and depart as friends. There is power in that because of the empathy it shows. I’ve said before in earlier posts that intelligence, while I value it greatly, isn’t the primary thing utilized to build the modern world. We are cohered into massive societies with numbers of people beyond what we can numerically understand because of a leap forward in empathy.

Hatred is incapable of building anything. It only tears down.

i love jesper sososososo much. with all my heart. he means everything to me.

BUT HOLY SHIT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR THE WAY HE TREATED KUWEI.

kaz was pretty awful too but like that's just kaz so I'm not as upset by it. jesper was just mean.

Even when he's saying something not inherently mean to him. like his tone is so belittling it makes me wanna GAASFAHSHDAS

and like, i can forgive the teasing i guess, because that's kinda how jesper talks to everyone, including wylan. (it's a little different since kuwei is literally their hostage and they shut him in a tomb for weeks and then tried to sell him so kuwei probably wants nothing to do with them at that point, but he does end up having kinda a crush on jesper so maybe he didn't mind idk).

BUT OH MY GOD. when jesper said "those shu soldiers can smell us. YOUR father made that possible" I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM. kuwei watched his father die in front of him. parem was an experiment meant to help kuwei hide his powers. and then kuwei got dragged off and kept in the ice court for god fucking knows how long and was forced to make the formula for a drug that would massacre his own people. Jesper knows all of this and still decides to say that. As i said I love jesper but that moment makes me so mad at him.

then later in another jesper chapter, he internally says "The sooner Kuwei got on that boat, the better. The tomb was starting to feel crowded." KUWEI DOESNT WANNA FUCKING BE THERE?? literally leave him alone wtf did he do to you.

then in the entire black veil scene, jesper responds to almost everything kuwei says with some little dig at the fact that kuwei's dad made parem and everything is kuwei's fault to the point where kuwei is basically begging jesper for understanding and jesper dismisses him like annoyingly easily. I felt for kuwei so hard reading that scene. I wish we got at least one chapter from his POV just to know how he's feeling.

mostly i think jesper is just projecting his internalized grisha-phobia onto kuwei which i get is part of his character growth and stuff but it's just so unfair to kuwei. all kuwei is trying to do is relate to him and find some common ground on some level but jesper just acts like such a jerk. and when he kisses him and then just runs of and leaves him there... that was,,, like im not gonna act like jesper was 100% in the wrong for that situation because he wasn't but he definitely could have handled that situation better.

He also is probably doing it to impress kaz too because there's a lot of moments where the 2 of them gang up on kuwei like middle school playground bullies. Those parts probably infuriated me the most, because like... you kidnapped him. obviously he's still in a better situation than the ice court but i would at least expect jesper to have some sympathy.

but one thing that really gets me is how the fandom acts like wylan and kuwei are enemies and like, wylan despises kuwei. that's just so out of character for everyone involved. wylan and kuwei are the closest to being actual friends than kuwei + anyone else. jesper is the one who hates kuwei. I hate when people project their kuwei hate onto the crows but at least do it to the one who's actually shown being mean to him. when wylan said that "push you in the canal" thing he was running on broken ribs, a dead friend and like a half hour of sleep so he would have said that to literally anyone.

this was a really messy and unstructured tangent but i just really needed to get this out there. lmk your thoughts

#bishangzoy #shadow and bone #six of crows #wylan van eck #wesper #kuwei yul bo #jesper fahey #kaz brekker #kuwei is treated like a bargaining chip and an object and a punching bag by everyone involved and it upsets me so much #he has no agency #even nina is only nice to him because she can use him for her own personal gain #i LOVE the crows with all my heart but what they did to kuwei was not ok. #crooked kingdom should have been called 'kuwei kingdom' as far as im concerned #obviously not but ykwim

ive gained like.. 15 lbs since i got on anxiety meds. my goal is like 60 more but UGH its so far away..........

#trying to not be defeated u_u gotta celebrate how far ive come! #at my heaviest ever (still not my goal though) i very much hyperfixated on gaining weight and did Nothing Else. this was like.. 2019...... #when food wasnt $700 for a bag of chips </3 #OH WHALE! ill just try my best to juggle all this shit fr #txt

[encouragepiggies]

buying fast food after you go shopping is so nice because then you can gorge on the food already made for you and when that isnt enough you can stuff yourself on chips and sweets you already bought until you have to sleep off all that eating

#im still grazing on chips n ice cream rn #fatter is good for you #fatter is better #glorify obesity #promote obesity #eat up #weight gain #eat eat eat

[zombiifyd]

this post but i accidentally had a thought that the reason why chip isn't as tall as the others is because of the lack of nutrition he had gotten as a child. who knows how long after the whirlpool was his next meal? did he have to steal for food? escape near death experiences? dig through trash even if the food in there could give him a deadly illness?

because arlin didn't teach him. he had to learn it himself. how to steal, how to take without people noticing, how to pickpocket. how to scope out what was good or not. he had to become a swindling thief to survive.

and if i remember in the early episodes that grizzly brought up that when chip was younger, chip would often pass out due to not getting treatment for his sicknesses. but he would always be brought in and cared for. there he would get some decent meals. but when he was released back out (maybe because he didnt want to stay there any longer. an orphaned boy not liking staying in one place for a long time. it makes him antsy. because what if they recognize him and he gets caught?), how else did he get food?

its so heartbreaking to think about, even though, knowing chip, he would've smarted (and also bastarded) his way through it and persuade people for food. for money to buy food. steal to get food in anyway possible. and then obviously banding with the price gang for a while.

its just. yeah.

mayor rolan loffin's deal with niklaus was that he would gain his hearts desire, but lose what he valued most, and it makes me wonder if all of his deals work in a similar way.

#my post #jrwi riptide #like even if the terms of the deal are stated to be something else. what if thats still the give and take of it #like look at malice #she gained her fame. she lost the ability to play music to anyone #im just putting it out there #its been so long since i rewatched most of the series so idk how it holds up for other deal-makers #but it worries me! #bcus i wonder if its what they value most at the time of the deal? or at the present time? #like is the undersea doomed bcus gill made a deal in episode 8. or are chip jay n gill doomed bcus they love each other more than anything #else. idk man!! #maybe this is nothing and it was just for the mayor #like maybe nik just made that the deal for the drama. for the theatrics. itd be in-character of him. #idk was just a random thought i had. made me think of chips deal where he has to save arlin no matter the cost

Obscure #NonfictionReviews “Capital Gaines”

“Capital Gaines″ by @chipgaines (Part Two)

What I don’t love about this book:

This book isn’t so different from “The Magnolia Story” that it couldn’t have all been combined into one longer book. The focus I get is more on Chip’s journey through life, but a big part of that life is Joanna, so it isn’t like she isn’t featured—a lot—which is good. Don’t get me wrong, I like her just as much as Chip. What I’m getting at is that when I moved on to this book after reading that first one, I felt like I was reading the same book. Part of this is unavoidable—reading a memoir written by the same person, of course, both sound the same because they’re written by the same person.

Chip puts himself into many physically perilous situations for little to no reason other than to see if he can pull something off or for a bet. Maybe it’s my inherent cautious nature, but often I find myself thinking—buddy, what are you doing? This goes for the show and the book, by the way. I’ve seen him eat a cockroach for fifty bucks. Champ, you’re a millionaire—and cockroaches’ exoskeletons can be home to fun things like Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus, which could present as strep throat or necrotizing fasciitis, aka FLESH EATING BACTERIA. One would think that after surviving bashing his face into the ground from an ATV accident would lead to a more sober, cautious appraisal on mortality and the chances of bodily harm, but I guess not.
