#if your stupid fucking book or podcast contains medical horror or psychiatric imprisonment and YOU KNOW THAT

[starblaster]

honestly i do like to antagonize those people who recommend media to me in that obnoxious “it’s about queer characters and all these tropes i know from fanfiction!” like. hello, annoying acquaintance; before you is a sheet of paper and a pencil. you have twenty minutes to provide an adequate synopsis of this book without using the words “friends to lovers” or “found family” and if you cannot, the metal beam above you will fall, crushing and killing you. your time begins now.

#you fucking know better! i know you’re not stupid! #the fact that people can’t even effectively tell you anything of actual substance about most of these YA novels is #dare i say it; indicative of their emptyness #and yes this is one of those cases where it’s not fucking ‘snobbery’ #if you can’t give me even a sparknotes ass summary of your favorite book’s plot… maybe… just maybe… you might need to take a lit class #this is anti-intellectualism at its most annoying #also one of the reasons i need a substantial plot summary is because i have triggers that affect me significantly if tripped #if your stupid fucking book or podcast contains medical horror or psychiatric imprisonment and YOU KNOW THAT #and YOU DON’T TELL ME that’s the kind of thing that will get me to hate you immediately #i will never trust you again #like if you can’t at least give me a fucking heads up because your literary vocabulary is now limited to trope names #please for the love of god do something to save yourself and learn something for once
