I need to get this out of my system or i will blow up. LIKE DAMN.. DAMN. LIKE OKAY. Like damn. Like. Tears in my eyes . fistful of hair . rocking back and forth . damn. He is ruining my life. Guys on the count if 3 throw the biggest rock at me. I need to be stoned there is no cure to this. goodnight cruel world.
General reminder to other scrunched up sitters like me. Please do try and sit with your legs out and stretch your hamstrings once in a while if you can.
Maybe now even if you are able and have time
Brought to you by the startling realization I couldn't sit up at a 90° angle again without my legs screaming
And a few nights of wondering what I did to get sore legs turns out I just hadn't stretched
Thinking about a Steve who goes sober after the Russians
Once he's mostly recovered from his concussion, when the world still feels like it's closing in on him but his head doesn't feel like it's going to crack in two - Steve cracks open a beer.
He's tense, and paranoid, and it's all too much, and he swears he keeps seeing the silhouette of one of the Russian soldiers in the woods. So he turns the TV up loud, sits on the couch, and has beer with dinner. Take the edge off. Distract himself.
Except the beer just makes everything worse. What once would have been a nice buzz - just makes his stomach churn and his head spin.
The walls of his house are too pale and the lights are too bright and his vision is tunnelling and he's alone and he starting to feel that buzzed floaty feeling he felt when the Russians stuck that needle in his neck and oh god he can't handle this he doesn't want to lose control of himself he needs to be prepared he needs to be ready the floor is rushing up to meet him it's too cold everything echos he can't do this again he just works at scoops ahoy please
Steve throws up in the hall bathroom. He drinks water as he pours the rest of his beer down the sink
Hi kit! Any books recs or your favourite ones? I’ve been having a thought time at uni and I need a break
hmmm well not sure what you're in the mood for, but i just read what we fed to the manticore and i cannot recommend it enough!!! it's not exactly lighthearted but it is really touching, approaching environmental conservation and even military oppression through the perspective of animals. i also finally just finished pageboy, which took me some time to read but i recommend it if you're interested in celeb memoirs (emphasis on celeb memoir; while i liked page's stream of consciousness about his experiences, it's very raw and lacking introspection, imo. but still worth a read if you're interested).
otherwise i don't have much to recommend that i haven't already before, i'm trying to really get back into reading consistently this year (and reading books that are actually good lol) a lot of the books i read last year weren't really good enough for me to want to recommend.
but i did really like minor detail, but if you're looking for a break maybe skip it for now as it's a very heavy read. if you're looking for a quick and weird extreme horror book then i'd recommend to be devoured.
i'm now reading i shudder at your touch which i linked a few days ago, i'm about 3 stories in and i've really enjoyed the second and third one (sea lovers was like right up my alley), but the first one is kinda a slog to get through (or not, if you like stephen king i guess)
