Depression is such an effective tranquilizer that it creates a great opportunity for plot twists in your real life. I have a pretty consistent opinion of myself which is "low" and "never ending guilt and shame for reasons I don't understand."
Recently received feedback from two different editing clients that started with "Please pass along to your editor that she is phenomenal at her job" and "I was blown away by the evaluation I received."
You always hear about how depression (and anxiety) lies to you and distorts reality, but there is logically knowing that and then there is like, physical proof of it and you are suddenly Neo in the Matrix jumping out of the fucked up little tube machine.

Any book recommendations?
Hello, hello, friends of the Pod (pondering mortality), I am once again looking for books that hit just the right spot. I've gotten some really great reccs in the past that love like The Lovely War and Nettle & Bone. (This my Goodreads too if you want to connect.)
I've been in a big fantasy mood lately so I've read a lot of that, but I'm happy to get into some romance or really excellent memoirs/historical nonfic as well.
Stuff I'm done with: Other books I've been really into are House of Hallow, A Dowry of Blood by S.T. Gibson, A Memory Called Empire, The Flatshare, The Green Bones Saga by Fonda Lee, anything by T. Kingfisher and Naomi Novik, and if anyone knows similar titles to that! Big fan of unhinged fucked up ladies and their Determination.
I've been deciding about reading The Stolen Heir by Holly Black since I enjoyed the Cruel Prince series, but I can't decide if I like Holly Black's writing or if I just REALLY loved Jude. (No shade on H. Black of course).
I'm also down for some literary fiction in the vein of Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka, but it has to be like, really thoughtful blew-you-away. (Notes on an Execution did change me)
Stuff I'm not that down with: No YA please! I am taking a break from YA (outside of maybe the Stolen Heir) since the genre has not been sparking joy for me lately. It has mostly been sparking rage. I am probably just too old now.
Other authors I just don't mesh with are Becky Chambers (idk), Mackenzi Lee, Olivia Waite, and a lot of historical fiction just rubs me the wrong way--I studied history in college and everyone should be caked in a lot more manure and plague tbh. You don't want to kiss that man, Claire. He doesn't brush his teeth.
Though, if the book is good I am also down to suck it up.
Thank you all!! I am always overjoyed to shared reading with people and finding out what people having been loving lately. 🥰

the sunny s7 finale makes me so crazy because its such an interesting delve into every characters thoughts about themself but specifically the way it portrays charlie and mac makes me so unwell. aside from the kid nicknames, and the teasing, and the always being together in the episode, the moment that really gets to me is not nearly the most emotional from the eps. its the scene where adriano is handing the marker to charlie to make fun of him and theres this immediate sense of urgency from mac that wasnt there before. because "theyre adults charlie" theyre safe from this crap now. and in the script of mac running over before charlie even was supposed to smell it like jesus christ. mac looking at adriano with such a genuine anger when he says charlie doesn't have to, almost threatening in his stance before adriano makes fun of him too. the childhood devotion and loyalty is so clear, more than usual, and it makes me so crazy. you can so clearly envision these two in this exact scenario as helpless kids. they were each others escape from the world and first unconditional loving friendship and in that moment you cant help but picture two scared little boys holding hands in the school yard. it really solidifies them holding onto those pieces of still being just ronnie and dirtgrub, small and dirty and hiding from the world together

"Please don't give up on me yet." "There's a time for saying who did what where it went wrong. I wanna hear all that, but right now you know it's not where we're going."
"I only drink to get drunk, scared of everything... please don't give up on me yet." "There were problems in this empty bottle at the bottom, but we drained all that, so right now, all I need you to know is you'll be okay."

I know that Act 3 of BG3 could use a lot of fleshing out in so many areas and that this is such a minor thing, but it bugs me to an absolutely unreasonable degree that the Planar Ally summons don't have anything to say.
So, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, the Planar Ally cleric spell lets you summon either a deva (angel, basically), cambion or djinni. The three of these are all sapient beings of fairly high intelligence, possibly higher than the one who summons them. For context, the deva has 17 Int as his lowest stat, with Wis 20 and Cha 20. I think the djinni has 15 Int. The cambion I'd have to check, but you get the point.
Unfortunately, they don't have any dialogue, not even basic voice barks. 😒 This is especially annoying to me because you get dialogue with Us, Shovel and can talk to a bunch of temporary companions like Glut or the random Harpers who help you in Moonrise. You get all sorts of ambient commentary from the Sentient Amulet ghost monk, and you can talk to him at will. He doesn't have a lot of dialogue, but still! Come on, man!
Do you mean to tell me that a literal angel from heaven, summoned to help you, has nothing to say about your situation? (And keep in mind that this is a cleric spell. If you're playing as a good-aligned cleric, this is very likely a servant of your god.) You're saying that a devil isn't looking at this situation like 👀 ? A djinni may shrug and be like "this isn't really my problem, I'm just along for the ride," but even they're still (chaotic good) sapient beings who you'd expect to have thoughts. Even if it's just about the audacity of this random bitch (gn) to summon them from whatever they were doing without even offering them anything for their trouble.
And that's not even getting into the potential drama. Like, can you imagine taking a literal angel into a brothel and then going upstairs to the devil's private room to discuss a deal? Or the incredibly catty response Raphael would have if Tav brings another cambion into the meeting, or perhaps more explosively, to his house to steal from him? You mean to tell me the annoying djinni at the circus wouldn't prompt a summoned djinni to say something?
Argh! The missed potential! *tearing out hair*

bonnie kelly as a character makes me so crazy because shes so much more, real? than some of the other parents. it's still a comedy and everyone's actions are exaggerated but there's a sense of upsetting realism to her character compared to luthers genuinely frightening front or franks behaviors in episodes. she genuinely cares for joyce and it isn't fake or to get something from her but it's so manipulative and unhealthy in it's existence of sweetness. i genuinely don't believe she's not an evil person or purposefully manipulative, i think shes a really damaged person but the consequences of such are so much more evident. she cares for her kid in the way none of the other parents in the show do but also puts joyce into this caretaker role instead of taking accountability. she had not much of a choice in some of the ways she raised joyce, having to do work to survive and thus leaving her with her brother due to shelley not being around, but it's like shes stuck in that time period still of not acknowledging anything being wrong with the situation at hand but joyce is growing older and older and things have already clicked into place for her on her childhood and some of the stuff she went through.
she's unstable and it isn't her fault, but in acting like she does it puts joyce in such an awkward situation. she doesn't want to leave philly in case something hapens, but she can't go home because her mother won't stop inviting over her uncle who she begged her mother to see had hurt her and she couldn't do it. her sisters abandoned the family as soon as they could, taking up jobs not unlike their mother did, and joyce can't really blame them for doing so but now is left entirely with the responsibility of the family and nothing to say for it. she didn't have anyone else besides her mom as a kid besides mac, none of the other parents cared so she had to take care of herself and her mom growing up but she doesn't hate her for it, because at least her mom stuck around.
i think in recent seasons especially post s15 finale, joyce has started like. letting herself realize how messed up her family situation is, not as a joke, or as a comment offhandedly. her dad is dead, and all she has left if her immediate family so she heads back home in grief.
going to her moms house literally resulted in pulled teeth and blood on the kitchen table. bonnie hurts herself, physically, a repentance or distraction or victimization of herself for joyce's sake instead of apologizing or fixing the situation at hand and it's such a visual look into their family dynamic. bonnie wants s much to keep this image of herself as a good mother to her little charlie that in the process she doesn't even treat her like a real person. they go to the kelly house and she's putting on a birthday party for jack but joyce didn't even remember how old she was, never getting parties or big celebrations from her mother and the ensuing scene of joyce slamming the phone over and over is so painful? like certainly in the show she's gotten mad at her mom before but there's this genuine rage at the situation, before having to inevitably take care of her mom and apologize, holding the rag to her bloody mouth. it's such a literal picture of the continous cycle of violence in the home but not actually fixing any of the issues at hand
