Status Updates From A Compendium of Supernatura...

“It was a truly impressive thing. S.T. Priya could be in the most magical place, a place fraught with supernatural energy, possibility, and wonder, and still be the same girl who was always passing sarcastic comments.”

She's me

“S.T. Priya had always wondered about Thamarai. She knew Thamarai was genuinely lost, not just in academics but in everything.”

Highly relatable

“Researchers have noted with some surprise that one of the biggest questions people have regarding the supernatural in the GGHSS is whether it will make them gay. The answer is yes, it will absolutely make you very gay. If you are reading this right now, it is because you are gay.”

‘“I don’t know what it is,” said Prasanna. “I don’t feel like doing anything.”

“I never feel like doing anything,” said Thamarai.’

Lol relatable

“Is this going to be a regular thing? Will you take the entity out for ice cream? What about children? What would they even look like? What if something happens to your genitals? We do ask that anyone considering this kind of fornication to please consider all these and more questions before taking any steps. We also ask that you discuss your intentions with our medical administrator.”

I'm dead

“4. Being firm supporters of eugenics and the caste system, we cannot in good conscience encourage fornication between the normal and paranormal, specifically between archivists/ researchers and supernatural entities.”

Lmao wtf

“Karisal Kaattu Black Holes – The most common element to present itself during The Crusades are the Karisal Kaattu Black Holes, which shouldn’t even be here in the first place. While endemic to the Karisal Kaattu region of Tamil Nadu, these black holes have often appeared on The Crusade grounds and swallowed girls....”

?????

“She underlined things in pen and pencil, with wavy lines, single lines, and double lines with a dot at the end. The problem was that she underlined everything. She didn’t like the idea of leaving some words out simply because they were considered to be unimportant. In her opinion, every word was important, and as a result every single word in her textbooks was underlined.”

Relatable

“Name – The Sand Worms of Patriotism.

Danger Classification – Harmless but extremely moody and unpredictable, given to sudden bursts of wild energy during which they toss 6th standard girls up in the air at random.”

“It wasn’t that Thamarai loved to eat; she was simply hungry all the time. Prasanna had once asked if Thamarai had tapeworms. Thamarai thought she probably did, because it seemed like no matter what she ate, she was always hungry afterwards.”

Relatable. Minus the tapeworms

“There were the girls who studied half-heartedly , did badly, and didn’t care, because they were just going to get married once school was finished. There were the girls who studied doggedly and did badly. And there were the girls who did not study at all, using the endless number of free periods to pick lice, draw kolams in their notebooks, play the bangle game, and chat.”

“The old woman turned and looked at Thamarai. Her face was nothing but a mass of deep wrinkles. She had no eyes or nose, and her mouth looked like a sloppy gash across her face. Thamarai watched with growing dismay as the old woman’s lower jaw began to drop until it was touching the floor. Her mouth hung open, black as tar, looking like it was about to swallow everything.”

JFC

“...Really I’m saying. You’re a nice-looking girl. Even though you’re dark.”

Girl noooo lmao

“Another day, she had been alone at home when she had stumbled into a wall and remained stuck inside it for the whole afternoon.”

Hate when that happens

“Other events were inexplicable: a crowd of children who all had hands where their heads should have been had once chased her while she cycled to school. Another time, while fishing in her bag for her pen, she had repeatedly pulled out handfuls of old teeth which tried to bury themselves into her palm like they were shy.”

Oh hell NO

“We have always encouraged such individuals to view absolutely everything as supernatural, and work backwards from there. For example, if one comes across a chair, one should understand that it can also be an undead carnivorous bird at rest, or a community hall haunted by paranormal mushrooms.”
