#its just a dumb book

[cursedzucchini]

You know what? Fuck it

DC x DP prompt #3

I think at least lmao.

Anyway! Jason starts making videos on YouTube for one reason or another (is really stressed, no one listens to his rants Abt books who cares). His content is mostly bad books he read or really really really long rants Abt pride and prejudice. Like 3 hours on one tiny detail he noticed on his 214th read through.

He's kinda popular, mostly bc his terrible books videos. He talks Abt the ones that made him the most mad, which coincidentally are mostly romance and supernatural. Like he's one of the well known figures in the supernatural romance critique group (whcih is pretty small, but well). (Also he doesn't show his face on camera, bc secret identity and stuff, it's just his voice over a video of something mundane, like the sky or a room in which is a fly or something)

And now this can go two ways, that i can think of (w dead on main in mind at least)

1) one day Jason finds a book which is supernatural romance and is actually good. It has a kidna cliche system for the supernatural stuff, but with a refreshing twist. The characters have depts and flaws, yet are still very likable. The plot is actually interesting and overall the story's theme is death, not belonging anywhere and overall stuff that is very close to Jason's heart. The story doesn't shy away from violence and it is suprisingly accurate.

(I'm.gonna reblog this w pretty long idea of what this book could be Abt, bc i don't wanna annoy ppl lol)

Anyway Jason kinda falls in love w it, and it becomes famous for being the first novel Jason rated positively or something.

Meanwhile Danny, who was told by jazz writing is good way to get his feeling out, and just wanted to make a quick buck, is really fucking confused how tf did his book become so popular and who tf is this nerd who rates books for a living.

(basically big fan Jason and suspicious/awkward Danny lmao)

2) there is a famous series on Jason profile. It's the worst fucking series he ever read and it's just fucking awful. All the characters are fucking terrible, always going on and on about one thing, the romance sucks in a way that isnt even funny. Jason would love to believe some wrote this as a joke, if it wasn't for the absolute cringefest this was, and it wasn't a whole ass series!! Like who writes 12 books for a joke?

Danny ducking Fenton that's who. Dude was so ducking annoyed at his rogues, he threatened them w writing a terrible romance novels abt them. The ghosts, knowing his terrible grade in literature backed off for a moment, before someone crossed the line. And write Danny did. It was the worst thing he had ever written, the love interest was perfect caricature yet still faithfully go the original. And Danny, because fuck them he lost sommuch sleep over that one prank, decided to publish it. (The book was pretty thin so it didn't take that much time writing it). Unfortunately it became immensely popular in the infinite realm. So the ghosts started crossing lines on purpose. Before Danny figured it out, he had already published his fifth book and was writing another three. After some bargaining, getting a book written Abt them as a piece of shit love interest became a reward.

And while yeah, he had to say his writing was terrible and the books sucked, some small part of him was kinda proud y'know? Like a mother of her twelve ugly as fuck toddlers.

So when he saw some nerd on the internet not only shit talk his book, but also get money of it?

Danny decided to haunt him (just like his books did him, now that everyone knew Abt them thanks to this guy)

(enemies (sorta it's not that serious tho) to lovers ala terrible writer Danny who hates his books and kinda famous YouTuber hasn't who also hates Danny's books)

--

Fuck this is way too long wtf. Anyway imma reblog this w 1) book idea. Might add whatever i think the twelve books could be Abt. Pls if u want to add anything to this pls do!!

"I want Annabeth to be blonde :(" then pick up a PJO book and read it you dumb fuck

#pjo fans stop being weird about black annabeth challenge IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #first off annabeths race isnt important to her story. annabeth could be any race. her skin colour doesnt actually impact her. her hair does #now im not blonde but im a white girl so let me explain why some pjo fans need to stfu. i have grade 9s. im called stupid for my appearance #im not insulted bc im white or bc i have blue eyes or brown hair. im insulted bc women are judged on their appearance. im insulted bc SEXIS #annabeth isnt really called dumb for being blonde. shes called dumb bc shes female. and ppl are more likely to stereotype women than men #this is especially true for black women! whatever sexism white women get is always horrifically multiplied for poc women #black hair frequently gets called unprofessional untidy unhygienic etc. its VERY likely that show annabeth has been called dumb for her hai #does this make the casting “accurate”? no. but castings don't have to be accurate. they have to ADD to the character. #annabeth being black ADDS to her character because it showcases how women (esp black women) are devalued for their appearance #movie annabeth wasnt bad for having brown hair or white hair she was a bad adaptation bc she was ooc #i just think its ironic that a core aspect of annabeth was being judged for her looks. and now show annabeth is getting judged for her look #like. you guys really missed the point here. #anyways disagree all you want but book annabeth is still blonde. no one is erasing her. theres a new PJO book w blonde annabeth SEPTEMBER 2 #GO READ CHALICE OF THE GODS IF U WANT BLONDE ANNABETH OMG! adaptions and source material can be separate and coexist! #rant over sorry #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo show #percy jackson and the olympians #the lightning thief #discourse #shitpost #percy jackson show #pjo discourse #riordanverse

I don't think I could write a fic where Steve doesn't end up choosing a career path (minus teacher) that has him working with his hands. Cook, hair stylist, artist, woodworker, mechanic, etc. School is hard and sure I think if he really tried he could get a degree but honestly, school isn't for anyone. Let him have a career he doesn't have to go to school for. Let him struggle like some people do. It normal and to me, it feels right.

Another bonus point if you let him have this with El. The girl is brilliant and badass but you can see how she struggles. Let her do art or cook with Steve. Let them be buddies and find a hobby that makes them feel smart in a different way than the rest of the party. Let them show off and be partners when Els older. Let Steve be an older brother for her and find another sister in her.

#sorry not sorry #im not calling them dumb i just need everyone to understand that its okay if they are smart in a different way #they can show off their skills while their friends show off their book smarts #stranger things #steve harrington #el hopper #steve and el are siblings agenda #knightly talks

"hot take but I think Luke was kind of right even though i know he was bad" STFU STFU THAT WAS THE POINT!!! HE WAS WRONGED AND MISTREATED AND HE WAS USED AND MANIPULATED IN HIS VULNERABLE STATE BUT ALSO HE MADE HIS OWN CHOICES TO FOLLOW A PATH THAT WAS DESTRUCTIVE AND VENGEFUL

#god its like yall didnt even pay attention to the books!! #its not a hot take if that was the whole point #izzy speaks #its pjo hours #god yall need some critical thinking #hater hours #pjo #percy jackson #luke castellan #percy jackon and the olympians #no one thought he was WRONG #just that his solution was fucking dumb because it would literally kill everyone 🙄

All fic writers writing Sirius and James needing help from Lupin for passing exams and making the charmed mirrors and every other achievement S & J did should just tag their fics as OOC and be done with it.

Sirius and James were incredibly intelligent and accomplished individuals and this shit of wrong tagging and ooc characters is getting really annoying now.

#sirius black #james potter #harry potter #its canon that they were smart #its canon that they were creative and top of the class #flying motorcycle anyone? #and the thing is its not only ships which have remus which is doing it. i just saw a prongsfoot fic which had this #why? why would you make your characters dumb? what will it achieve? what is the point here #prongsfoot #and its not only one thing you know #who charmed the mirrors? apparently lupin. who got the potion for the animagus? apparently lupin #who got the spell for the map? apparently lupin. who did they copy their homework from or who helped them study? apparently lupin #And I honestly liked Lupin in the books. He was relatable even if he was a bit of a coward but who isn't right? #But fanon Lupin is someone i have started hating so much

I always see posts about people needing a break from Tumblr to escape the toxicity of the sjm fandom (respect, do what u gotta do) but for real that could never be me. I love this shit, tell me why I'm so passionately fighting on the internet with strangers about which fictional characters are gonna end up together 😭 it's so funny to me I love fighting with people (respectfully lol) and it will be even funnier in the end if i'm deadass wrong about all my favorite ships.

#I cannot be stopped #the toxicity fuels me #I love anyone who replies to my posts to tell me im wrong and dumb #im not ashamed of my passion for books #its just so fun #I may sound like a hater sometimes but I actually love sjm's books so much #sarah j maas #acowar #sjm #acotar #acomaf #a court of wings and ruin #a court of thorns and roses #a court of mist and fury #lol #acosf #a court of silver flames #acofas #a court of frost and starlight #elucien #elriel #gwynriel #nesta #pro nesta

I. Hurt.

And I was hurting anyway, I'm pretty down this morning, but this hurt came from an outside source, and affected me in a way I'd honestly not have expected.

See, we bought Nimona last week. After seeing the movie, my kids wanted to read it. And I ended up reading ahead, and I just finished it.

Bonus content at the end, it said, and I was like, oh, an epilogue to the epilogue maybe? That'd be nice. I don't love bittersweet endings, I'd rather...

...no, it's not the conclusion.

It's CHRISTMAS.

In a book that'd had no religion that I noticed up to that point, BOTH bonus extras...were Christmas.

Ya know, usually it doesn't bother me. Usually I just suck it up. I think it helps that I was raised around mostly Jews and people who, if Christian, it didn't matter much to them. I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the descendent of Lower East Side immigrants, and while the world outside was brutal - my grandfather was a World War 2 veteran and among the soldiers who liberated Dachau, I can't remember a time when I didn't know that most people would look the other way if people like me were slaughtered wholesale - my bubble was safe, we were accepted, we were insiders.

I honestly can't think of another time I've interacted with a piece of media and felt so immediately, instantly knocked across the face by OUTSIDER as I just did when I excitedly turned the page to see what these fun extra bonuses were...and it was fucking Christmas.

I didn't even read them.

I'm honestly. So disappointed.

I don't have a thick armor for this kind of hurt. I'm Jewish, and as an adult living outside my old UWS bubble, that's often meant I've felt like an outlier, but I've hardly ever had this feeling where I was welcome to something only to be suddenly, violently shoved out the door.

And I've heard nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. but praise for this book. And on another day, it might not have bothered me. I've never really felt like I had to fight to be seen, especially since I'm tremendously secular. I mean, I've celebrated Christmas my entire life, for starters.

But why. Why was this fantasy setting suddenly Christian? Why was this the touted extra content? Why is THIS special, when the areligious world established to that point was apparently not special enough?

I can't say yet if this ruined the story for me. It's far too soon. But I'm *intensely*, viscerally let down, and...I hurt.

Christians...maybe stop doing this shit.

#unforth rambles #im not sure how to tag this #i dont want to tag fandom since its kinda anti #and i dont want to tag antisemitism cause its not really #and i dont want to tag microaggressions cause thatll just show my privilege that ive been lucky enough to not have this feeling more often #but seriously WHAT THE FUCK #im genuinely considering rereading just so i can see if it was always christian and i just missed it until then #because its so fucking ubiquitous that it slides right off #but i dont think it was!!! #WHYS IT GOTTA BE CHRISTIAN WHAT THE HELL #and why have i never heard this mentioned surely im not the only person to notice this #maybe it was less jarring for people who rwad along with the webcomic #since these were extras released along thw qay #not shoved in the back of the book like in the print edition #i dont fucking know #i just know i hate it #this special fun thing could have been anything #and instead it was for one specific segment of the audience #and thats honestly so unnecessary and kinda yicky #dont you guys every get tired of making everything about your fucking dumb holidays you stole from other cultures #give me back passover i demand you turn over easter as a reparation

book runs based on tv shows are usually mediocre at best, like star trek, torchwood, doctor who, etc etc, but i would give anything to get a book run of the BBC Ghosts hotel i need to know what shenanigans those guys get up to in there

#bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts spoilers #six idiots #i think a hotel would be so fun for them #like enrichment #absolutely nothing that happens in there matters in the slightest but they all care so much about everything so really #the weight of any hypothetical plot does not matter #a short story series for example would be great #give me 5 pages of the captain deriding robin about the mouse family he follows and then stalking off to go watch his ants #give me 20 pages of fanny and julian watching something unsavoury going down in one of the rooms only to discover they were wrong #and actually what's happening is totally innocent #give me 15 pages of julian battling for TV remote control with a guest who can't figure out why the remote is malfunctioning #give me fanny accidentally getting in a teenager's selfie and the teen facetiming with her friends about the haunted room she's stuck in #while her parents are on this dumb golf trip #and kitty is jealous that fanny is getting all the attention because this is supposed to be girls night with the teens she's decided #captain and julian watching golfers out on the green #thomas cooing over a blossoming romance and subsequent breakup like its his new personal soap opera #pat sitting in on games out on the lawn and getting way too into it prompting julian to start making bets with him on lawn darts #fanny snooping in guests' luggage and being scandalized by perfectly normal things she considers risque #give a book deal to ben and larry they'd have a ball with it i just know it

[dumbbullet]

if you are a creator of any kind I would highly encourage picking up "The Creative Act: A Way of Being" by Rick Rubin the next time you see it in a bookstore

I haven't been able to read a book in YEARS and this thing has me annotating like some sort of book pervert

#dumb babbles #book rec #Idkbif its just that I've been more active in smaller creative circles lately but this is HITTING time and time again #ESPECIALLY if you're a younger artist #I feel like I'm gonna end up using this like some sort of artist Bible to whip out knowledge whenever someone is ragging on their own art #Its good stuff

i think it's really funny how people just go on the internet and tell lies

#this post is about nightheart #i went into every book following river horrified that theyd ruin him #but man im just #not #seeing it #at all #nightheart is a misogynist? nope! thats the writers #nightheart doesnt respect sunbeam's boundaries? wrong! nightheart has done nothing but respect her boundaries #nightheart undermines frostpaw's problems by comparing them to his? wrong! hes empathizing with her #its to the point im wondering if im reading the same book as you all. how did you get this impression of this dude. #i think the last one in particular stems from nightheart's conflicts not being taken seriously. yes #its dumb #this was never a prior issue for any of firestar's kin #but it is happening #and that shit is so damaging let me tell you #and also #calling him a misogynist is just gross im gonna be so fr #the AUTHORS are misogynistic. we know this. this is not our first rodeo. #that fact just seems to be projected on to nightheart instead of pointing the finger at the erins #it is misogynistic that these characters are being conveyed the way they are. but the fact remains is that its whats on the page #and nightheart has every damn right to be upset about it #AORRY I AM LIKE. PASSIONATE. ABOUT THIS. i like nightheart a lot and see myself in him #i dont think its bad if people dislike him #but a lot of the reasons ive seen arent even valid reasons because they arent accurate representations of his character #tldr; stop blaming the authors' shitty writing decisions on nightheart pleaseee 😇 #nightheart #warrior cats #i would not blame anyone if u said i aint rwading allat tbh this was not meant to get so out of hand

I'm like two and half chapters into The Picture Of Dorian Gray and like, by chapter 2 it is immediately clear that Lord Henry is literally the devil, like this man needs to be stopped 😭😭😭 Idk if this a little too niche, but who cares

Anyway, the man went on an entire rant to Dorion about how he should enjoy his beauty (or, as Wilde referred to it, his "strange panegyric on youth") and Dorion went into a downward spiral over it, and like, I would too if someone told me that my youth was all I had and someday soon it would disappear, like damn

#the picture of dorian gray #oscar wilde #gay #because c'mon #books and reading #im also annotating it and its so hard to take this book seriously #half of my notes just say “you're literally the devil” to some dumb shit that Lord Henry said 😭 #tpodg

#i need to shut up and finish the books bc i might be fucking wrong #and maybe him leaving was just. better for the narrative #but i just. waugh... he had potential #ive said that like ten times but please its true #fetch is such an interesting story and his whole thing in the hospital seems so fun i wish we'd had more of that before he just. left #and in general the way he left was dumb to me im sorry #fnaf

[perenlop]

thinking about the animal literature class i took last spring that was pushed as a class all around symbolism but it ended up being an ARA focus and my professor and i were talking about my black beauty paper and she said something like “you dont think of all the ways the author is actually promoting animal harm though… like why doesnt she criticize the use of carriage horses at all? does she think its ethical for animals to work for humans instead of alternative means?”

well besides the obvious bullshit there… THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE IN THE 1800s!!!!!! THERE WERE NO CARS!!!

#fuck you black beauty author why didnt you predict henry ford you dumb bitch. CLEARLY you actually hate horses! #like. tbf she couldve been nitpicking bc she was very nitpicky in class on a lot of stuff #but like it lives in my brain. the book was published 10 years before the car wtf is she supposed to do #i didnt even care for the book im just bewildered???? #also realizing we were supposed to read the breaking in scene as gross and immoral in the class bc its the only scene we actually read #before we moved on to other book samples. bc btw we only read two full books in that class. #one of them was charlottes web. #we mostly read really short samples and articles besides that. #echoed voice #i was kinda joking like ‘’oh boy wonder what she thinks of service dogs’’ and then i learned ara’s hate service dogs #so. damn ok
