????

spent the last few minutes looking into cockygate and "cocky" no longer looks like a real word

Sarah Lyons' twitter is followed by Barack Obama for some reason? That's...bizarre

So not only is SH an abusive, gaslighting, bullying creep, but they didn't even come up with their own stuff. They literally used people, groomed them like the weirdo abuser SH is, and then wrote their private conversations into books. Which they get acclaim for. So like...their books DON'T even "stand on their own" (a dubious statement anyway in most cases).

BLACK PANTHER!!!!!!!!

...anyone else's books showing up as (0) in all of their shelves except "all"?

...so how normalized is A/B/O outside of fandom circles? Because I just saw a book blurb that had it and I had a moment of "......huh.."

oh my god I'm so confused. did someone create a fake livejournal to fake out hassell but they're not...actually them?? gdi I Don't Even Know what sort of post-truth bizarro world DO we live in

okay you know what, I don't even know. I may be jumping to conclusions here on incomplete/faulty info. I'm going to try to chill and take a step back and get some more information before I get all indignant again. I think this also just reminded me too much of other stuff I am also very unhappy about, and some of that outrage bled over. @_@ what is going on..

Okay the Santino Hassell thing is really pissing me off. I don't know if I'm not looking in the right places, but a random twitter search just shows....people supporting her?? I mean this issue....isn't one of readers feeling entitled to know everything about an author.....but that a woman masqueraded as a bi man....to potentially gain an edge of legitimacy in this marginalized community......like yikes????

holy fucking shit hOLY FUCKING SHIT she's literally been catfishing this whole community for YEARS holy SHIT

oh my god every list that has been "m/m written by a guy" oH My gOD

Why does GR have "gender" up there on your profile under "Details?" is it really necessary for people to know what gender I am?

not 2 dredge up whatever the idiom is (dirty laundry? but old old stuff that's hopefully been put to rest now?) but someone mentioned riptide and I was vaguely reminded of the drama from a couple yrs ago I was only vaguely aware of, which led me to reading an author's blog post and there's a lot of interesting discussion on like how the industry works and stuff in it/the comments

I need to work on this paper, but I've spent the whole day Not Working on it, gdi

sometimes, brains are terrible

"Maybe he's not a cradle snatcher, maybe I'm a grave robber" is such a fantastic line

..but also, wtf was the entire last chapter?? some hallucination? a fever dream? I mean it was cool but also it was a bizarre trip down the rabbit hole but then suddenly you blink and you're back as if nothing had happened. ..what

mmmm okay, I really don't like this as much

Okay, see? This next chap is....a different section again. it's a continuation, not of the last chap, but of a different theme many a chapter back.

and it kind of is whiplash coming off the end of the last chap
which.......lowkey didn't make sense to me

is the author trying to set up a threesome? or is Jasper just some weird sexual tension (well I was going to say fairy but like...yeah..) phantom ...?

hmm....I kind of feel like this whole middle section was...a paradigm shift, somehow? I guess thinking back, they DID introduce Laurie with the whole..."he's got that nebulous edge of danger thing," but I...kind of don't feel like it was that for most of it? He kind of was more...cold than wild?

I don't hate it, but it's....odd

........this is going pls-do-not-go-there anime, I really hope it,,,,,stops that,,,and goes somewhere else,,,,,,,,

....this pouring-passing thing is confusing. but maybe it's Actually Really Important and I'm just too much of a casual American to understand or appreciate its seriousness and awesomeness

everything Jasper says and this scene says is true. there are times when I'm like academia is fucking cool, there's all this like...like with the humanities and hyperfocus on a specific thing that interests a person deeply and they care so much and it's so cool that they care so much

and then there's times when I'm like "academia as a concept pisses me tf off, what is this contrived fake BS lmao it ain't that deep"

Laurie is so outclassed here
amazing and I love it

ooooh, a wild American stereotype!

this is not helping the "god this is so anime" feel

now granted, I don't know much about alcohol either, but can a thing be sweet AND dry? I mean I guess yeah but a bunch of those comparison/primers would lead you to believe a scale of dry to sweet exists...

....has the vibrating stopped? granted I don't know very much about vibrating butt plugs, so maybe the norm isn't a "it turns on until you turn it off," maybe I'm here worrying about "does the button just do a pre-timed round? a set of pulses? what? is it still going on??"

Jasper is super anime and also relatable in a melodramatic way, but maybe I'm just suggestible when it's 2am
(but he's still super anime regardless of the 2am)

okay this part is way cool bc usually Laurie's set up as, like, the "older more cultured one" but actually Toby's way more in touch with all of the grandiose highfalutin trappings of academia

I love how Toby's like....magnetically drawn or whatever to Jasper, it's hilarious

also Jasper is so anime it's not even funny, who is this guy

okay I can see why he would call it a boob, but also, c'mon. domed buildings are hardly rare

(tbh I was hoping whatever the thing was would actually be uncannily like a giant gold boob. instead, I was disappointed)

aw, I like Toby making all of these little references. Bluebeard, Beauty and the Beast now. all of those random literature references he knows. Reminds me of when I was in school and actually had this stuff at the forefront of my mind and could pull up exact stuff. Now I'm just like ''I vaguely remember reading this thing and don't quote me on the details,,''
