She's Had A Long Day

I like the idea of putting my blorbos on the Infinity Train. Force them to go through a harrowing experience specially fashioned to make them work through their issues (and leave them with a new set of issues afterwards)

So here's Bonesaw! She needs to stop thinking of other human beings and little more than art supplies. And being stuck on the Train for an indeterminate length of time will forcibly separate her from Jack, so she can begin to build an identity of her own for the first time in her life.

The thing that absolutely kills me about Ianthe being a main character is that nobody fucking invited her. She’s not involved in this shit beyond her forcing herself into it. Harrow is connected to the soul of a murdered goddess who she’s also in love with, and Gideon’s the daughter of the man who murdered a planet to become god, and Ianthe is…? Here? I guess???

Ianthe has no connection to this plot, she’s got nothing to do with any of it, she’s just so FUCKING desperate for the spotlight to finally be on her that she’ll do anything for it.

I feel so stupid rereading the Blue Heron arcs because I'm constantly like "omg blorbo beenis from later in this story" and I get excited every time

two thinkers are better than one

she did the unthinkable to you and shes the only one who can fix it. wanting her is written in your very bones and its because she did the writing. she needs to do it again. youve spent years fighting to come to terms with what your life was going to be and the everythings changing so much and shes right there and you feel sick and you feel happy and shes sorry and shes telling you shes going to make it better now and youre starting to get a sense of deja vu

Everyone deserves a someone to help them through the dark

I just cannot believe that nightblood is gendered male. That does not make sense to me and I cannot accept that

Thoughts on Pale arc one:

People seemed to like my posts about Pale, so here are my thoughts after finishing the first arc:

Oh my god, I did not know that this was a horror story. I thought this was urban fantasy + murder mystery and a lighter break from the author’s usual stuff. 1.z was one of the most tense things I’ve ever read. The devouring song was so wonderfully creepy and the ritual really felt unwinnable. Despite that I still expected Gabe to survive tho and the moment he threw up I was so shocked and had to stop reading for a bit.

That out of the way; I fucking love this story and I would be surprised, if this isn’t my favourite book, when I finish reading it. The characters, the dialogue, the worldbuilding, the magic and the pacing are all fucking amazing.

From the protagonists Verona is my favorite so far; she is so great: She is a weird loner who hates work and people (so relatable). Is she aromantic or just a depressed teenager with attachment issues? I don’t know and neither does she seemingly (very relatable). She doesn’t feel totally human and wants to leave all of her humanity behind (so very relatable (look I said it three times; it’s a curse now)).

Im binging arc two now.

alec would be a huuuge soyjak poster. he would say soyjak meme things out loud all the time. sending them in the undersiders group chat. it would be awful. cherish would come to recruit him and he'd be like cringe slaughterhousecels seething over based undersiderchads and cherish would just leave right then and there. to the disappointment of the rest of the team who were all secretly wishing he'd join the nine so they could legally kill him

Worm is one of the few pieces of media to properly show why its a terrible idea to talk to cops, and how it will only incriminate you further. It also shows one of the best alternatives which is to fill their lungs with spiders until they die.
