Status Updates From Crank (Crank, #1)

Hey Ellen what the fuck made you think this was an appropriate place for a weird anti-abortion take

I was not prepared for a pregnancy plotline

Real gross take on the aids crisis

Some extremely weird and gross takes about virginity in here

"is there really such a thing as brain death?"

Why is she asking this like it's a deep philosophical question and not the dumbest shit I've ever heard

She's not even high at the moment

I know the protagonist is meant to be unlikeable but I could do without the lesbophobia

Snorting drugs is so weird to me because I have a negative physical reaction to even the idea of doing it

Keep stuff out my nose thanks

The audio quality is weirdly variable it's

Not great

"adhesive eyes"

Girl

Oh you can FEEL the parts that are just Hopkins being bitter lmao

Ellen go to therapy

Describing someone's eyes like "extravagant eggs" is insane

Okay I do think Hopkins' writing is significantly less obnoxious when you're not looking at the dogshit unnessary and annoying formatting where it doesn't pretend it's not just mediocre prose

If this turns out to be where "but you have to love the monster, the monster has loved you longer than anyone else" is from I'm going to be Deeply upset

Also if my mom wrote and published a fictionalised account of my struggle with substance abuse I would lose my fucking mind

What if we didn't use saneist slurs that don't help the narrative idk

AND THAT'S JUST A SLUR

Hey Ellen?

I know you probably have some feelings about your kid having been a drug addict but good Gd go to therapy don't publish this

Alright let's see how this is bc I hated the last one of this lady's books I read bc I think terrible prose disguised as poetry sucks but idk maybe it'll be better if not in text form
