Status Updates From Ten Days in August (Gilded ...

// 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊!!!!

// I’m annoyed for an altogether different issue! Some authors, including this one, don’t seem to know what an epilogue is actually for … The epilogue is the cherry on what should be a beautiful sundae! End the book properly with a solid wonderful fantastic HEA, and provide an epilogue as an added bonus (an added HEA)/added insight into the beautiful HEA provided! The epilogue is not a post to be the ending!!!!

I’m pissed Stephens goes scot free with all his vile BS! I’m pissed that Hank didn’t defend himself and slam hard into Stephens! While everything turned out for the best, I’m annoyed for Hank in that he didn’t get the promotion even tho he didn’t want it, and while everything ended up being EXACTLY how he wanted it, I still feel it’s an injustice because Roosevelt didn’t know that’s what I wanted!!

// So this fucking pisses me off because the author is ensuring that the biggest piece of vile garbage on earth is going to be commissioner! It would’ve been awesome if she had followed in the suit of what she did to Brigham and made Stephens pay just as hard and in equal fashion!!

// WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Author, thank youuuuuuuuuuu for doing what you just did 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳!!!! Amen to the killing off of horrible rapist rubbish ... Brigham, may you rot in hell!!!
I’m high-fiving the author for doing this ... BIG time!!!! AWESOME MOVE!!!!

// Family is not family unconditionally in that if the shitty side of that family has a complete disdain and disregard and total lack of acceptance of who you are, then you are absolutely no longer family and you are definitely not obligated to helping them out! Considering the fact that Nicky‘s sister doesn’t agree with Nicky’s sexual orientation, she can fucking cunt off and go to hell!! NO BLEEDING HEARTS!!!

// 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡!!

// I’m really enjoying this book so far 😊😊😊😊😊!!

// A thought occurred to me … These two really need to be careful about where they go because Brigham could easily be in the crowd, could spot them, and cause a whole heck of a lot of trouble!

// Gahhhhhhhhhhh I hate Stephens 😡😡😡😡😡!!!

// “Amelia looked up and met Hank’s gaze. He understood her frustration with him was borne of concern. He knew she wanted him to be happy, but something about the way she expressed that, framing his happiness as depending on changing himself, struck Hank in the gut.”

~ Yeah that pisses me off! Still I have to remember that it’s 1896 and Amelia is still far better than the vast majority of people in 2020!!

// The irony is not lost on me whatsoever that doing anything and everything to uphold the law and being honest and decent and ethical and having principals and morals, and doing his job in the most honest way possible, with the most integrity, is exactly what is going to cost him his job!! Doing his job is going to cost him his job … Which is why so many corrupt assholes are in the police force!!

// I don’t get why Hank doesn’t pull rank on Stephens just to make a point, though I do definitely understand that it suits Hank’s purposes because he doesn’t want Stephens anywhere near him or any of his cases!

// Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊!!

~ That squeal ... I never ever ever ever EVER EVER EVER do that (it goes against everything that is ME) but this moment warranted it!!

// So many aspects of this book and so many ways in which these wonderful men communicate is so forward thinking that I am just sitting here with a big smile on my face! Authors could take a page or two out of this book and learn it for themselves!!

Nicky and Hank and Charlie and Andrew are ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️!!!

// When authors don’t strive for change even in fiction, it makes you wonder what hope there is for the real world!! This is your world, you can take a few liberties, you can serve true/pure/accurate justice, and yet you do as the real world does and you promote/reward the garbage, the vile, and the reprehensible! People who cannot even imagine a better world and/or a better system are very much the problem!!!

// It would’ve been awesome if the author killed off Stephens instead of having him promoted in any way shape or form!!

I get that you want to stick to what likely would’ve happened during that period. However this is still fiction and liberties can be taken; one being that the author should’ve killed off this fucking character instead of rewarding him and keeping garbage like him in high positions!!!

// They better fucking find and dismember the person that raped Charlie 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡!!

// It drives me absolutely batty that Hank, as a police officer, is absolutely surrounded by some of the most corrupt sadistic disgusting immoral reprehensible evil colleagues people around, and yet as a gay man [his ONLY secret mind you], HE is the one people will be ostracizing and punishing and persecuting if anyone ever found out 😡😡😡!!! Mankind SUCKS!!!!

“Hank knew all about that. He hugged Nicky tightly to convey he understood. He’d had his own late nights wrestling with the demon of his inverted sexual appetites and gotten nowhere beyond a reluctant acceptance he could not change himself.”

~ That’s awful, wishing you were different or made differently! Hank, G-d made you exactly the way you were meant to be made and he made you wonderfully SPECTACULARLY!!!
