i used to know a couple people who had like, never been anywhere near hay or a barn and therefore had no clue what the smell was. also watched someone go to the pumpkin patch for the first time and be like 'oh my god THAT'S what hay smells like' so
On the topic of Bad YA Books, does anyone remember Matched?
It felt like shitty fanfiction of The Giver
I tried a few times to read it and I couldn't get into it
OH MY GOD
I read that entire series when I was like 14, before I knew the difference between quality YA and shit YA
It's been years since I read it so I'll drop the Goodreads page here:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7735333-matched?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=777daqp3YJ&rank=1
I remember that the first book was a fun-ish but generic popcorn read, but the sequels were bad
I wish there was an app to design board games. I wanna play Maetakai.
Make it by hand you coward
I don't want to carve 28 pieces.
Also remind me to Rant about a shitty thriller I read earlier this year once I'm done with dinner

How does the game work?
I might be able to scribble down some concepts, obviously can’t carve wooden pieces but if the Etsy shop/commission page thing works out I could create clay ones at some point
plus it sounds really cool regardless and I want to know the rules
unfortunately i read the first couple chapters of that book and got bored as hell
were all those books that were really popular in middleschool just….shitty bland ya?

Tell me it was The Wives
No, I'm not that self-loathing
I spent 45 minutes ranting to my dad about Frozen Beauty last night and tbh I can't summon up the energy to rant about it now like I promised lmao, sorry
Although I need to say that I hate hate hate the trope in shitty, usually YA mysteries where the killer is someone we hardly even know/see. In Frozen Beauty, the "killer" isn't even introduced until the final third of the book also the way that the sisters find out how the older sister died is ridiculous
Also the trope where there's the painfully obvious suspect who the author is basically throwing at you and going "see?! SEE?! don't you think it's them?? they're so creepy and menacing, you know it has to be them!!" and then it isn't. But anyone with a brain can tell it wasn't going to be since, y'know, that's just shitty writing.
Like, the killer reveal should be surprising in an "oh shit, it was them?!" way, not an "oh shit…it was them…" way. You should be shocked that the character you've grown to trust committed the crime, not because their second cousin three times removed who showed up for half a scene at the funeral and was mentioned twice in passing committed the crime, or because the perpetrator ended up not being Lucifer S. Atan, the hot bad boy who's been in and out of juvie and rides a motorcycle and has abs and no alibi.
That was a bit exagerated but still, I hate it.
coughthat one brenda song moviecough
I'm home alone for once in a blue moon
I could be watching things I can't when my brothers are home
I could be watching things my parents might not approve of
But instead, I'm watching Classic Disney
So far, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid
hey, is eris back yet?
and if not, do any of you know how to get rid of a killer headache that drinking and eating won't get rid of?

mint, sleep, soft controlled noise
She's not :(
I'd try sleeping if you can (maybe with one of those eye cover things?), logging off of various electronics, and dimming the lights. Try to avoid eye strain like being on your computer/phone/whatever and reading, maybe just listen to music?
i want to feel asleep but I can't. I think I'll be up for a few days.
I'll try the other suggestions though. thanks y'all.
If you can't fall asleep, I'd just try laying down with the lights dimmed/off. Also make some sort of tea if you have/like it and curl up under some blankets. Basically do sleepy time things and hopefully it'll at least be sleep-like?
