Actually obsessed with how tiny Olivia is compared with the adult rangers. They didn’t need to do the lineup like that but I’m eating it up
She’s so tiny I love her

stop no way NO WAYYYYYYYY
THE BOY IS BACK YAYYYYYYY ANS EVERYONE’S CRYING AND I’M CRYING AND IF THAT DID NOT HAPPEN I WAS GOING TO THROW THIS BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM
Yay I’m so happy yay

I am going to THROW UP
TOMMY’S SUCH S GOOD PERSON OH MY WORDDDD

Ohhhhh she’s so CUTIE I LOVE HER

Oh, Billy, my beloved. I forgot how bad with words he is

This is crazy because it’s funny but in the most random moments. Also, Wukong is a crazy little guy

Positively eating this up! Clark being nice but just a little bit done with the whole situation. Bruce straight up pumping knock out gas into a room to prove Clark’s Superman. Perfectly in character. Wonderfully done

“How can I thank you? For the gift of tethering me to myself”

“I have to play it off fake and dramatic because otherwise I feel so transparent I can’t stand it.”
This is so real. Sometimes we have to pretend that we don’t like things as much as we do so we don’t feel stupid

Such perfect portrayal of nostalgia ahhh and then coming home after seeing family!!

Such a comfort read ahh

Yo what were those last like 3 stories??? Hello?? Why were they so degrading to women?? Why were they all about slimy men taking advantage of pretty girls?? Who wrote this??

Yo okay that one was fire

Huh.. that one was much more pleasant. I lied the little character studies and the way it bounced around between them

Well that was a crummy story. Guy moves to the city, immediately gets taken advantage of, and (probably) goes to jail for a crime he’d been tricked into committing. Real uplifting stuff here

“Art has become exotic, a thing apart, an indulgence, something to be possessed. … modern life has forced art into being a mere adherent upon the practical affairs of life … the result has been that hopeless confusion of values which mistakes sentimentalism and irrational day-dreaming for art.”
Yo slay that’s such a good take

Yes girl get your life back!! Rekindle friendships!! Recover!! Be a good person!! Go girl!!

Shout out to Nobu for still being the best character in the book. He’s still kinda creepy for just really enjoying hanging out with a teenager, but at least he’s not abusive
… the bar for a good character here is really low …

That was surprisingly distressing. I know Hatsumomo deserved it, but that just felt wrong. I feel so bad for her

Oh my gosh! Is that? Is that a compelling moment?! Is that a good use of character to drive the story forward?! Is that some genuine emotion and personality?! Oh my word! I didn’t know it was possible! An interesting and genuinely heartfelt moment that (I hope) will drive Sayuri to become a better person and to stick up for herself for the first time in her life!! Oh Nobu, I knew I liked you!!

Well that was horrible. I’m more angry on Sayuri’s behalf than anything. This is the kind of book that seems to want to make the reader hate men. It’s disgusting the way it treats both its characters and its readers

Well, gang, that was deeply unpleasant. Believe me, I’d erase this from my mind if I could

This book is wild to read because I’ll be chilling and it’ll be talking about school and tea ceremony and I’m like yeah this is okay and then it hits me with the most objectifying and disrespectful thing I’ve ever heard and I just get angry. Rinse repeat

I really don’t know how I feel about that… like yeah he’s a nice guy but you really don’t have to make it your life’s purpose to be noticed by men like that. You’re 12!!

Good heavens what a terrible book. This is so sad bro when does it get good???

Also, I Hate the way that this writer described women. Like bro why are so many naked women described in such detail. I do not want to know that. I do not want to have to imagine it myself. Eww please leave me alone

BRUHHH I HAVE ABOUT HAD IT WITH THESE WOMEN
GOOODNESS ME HAS NO ONE HEARD OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS?!?!?! I get it was common practice but WHAT THE HECK

Oh my

This is so interesting but I am so worried that the girls are not going to be adopted but forced into something else
