Ok he just killed and ate an angel woooooow this is an angry fuckin doggo

Getting into some of the metanarrative of this now and it's making me think of that one girl on reddit who attempted to fight Mohammed in the spirit world this is insaaane

I'm beginning to see why people compare this to Watership Down 😰🦊

"A CAT DID THIS!?" UM yeah that's fucked up actually wow. Glad I don't have a cat now bc I would not be sleeping well after that.

It's like if Piranesi wasn't shit

The indifferent narrator and the complete futility of the culture vs nature is really getting to me wow need to have a breather and touch graaa

Incredibly deft of Williams to obfuscate the ethnicities and city on the table. Just hit the bit about the word "conspiracy" and the fall out between Jacob and Adam and went "ohhhh..." that's unbelievably clever writing. We know who's implied but Williams is being so gentle and careful and I'm astounded.

Raising a child with excessively high standards is a form of abuse and emotional neglect btw. Javier talking like Obi-wan Kenobi doesn't stop him being a hoooorible parent. Reid does a lot of early scenes where Javier prompts Carrie with questions and she replies in an extreme way to imply she's the one being too ambitious, but I'm unconvinced. Fuck Javier.

If Carrie loses to Nicky Chan I'll be mad. Would be such a cop out.

Casual use of the R slur and the shallow conflation of autism with comorbid learning disabilities and poor theory of mind in order to flatly support the (probably true) idea that there is something about cultural imitation biologically intrinsic to children, bc look! we have all these r slur children who are an exception which proves the rule! Disappointingly weak evidence from Pinker there. He's not wrong but wow.

Honestly, Shannon is a bit a twerp. She somehow believes Caleb is smarter than Natalie because he *made her* build the farm and the business?? Being lazy isn't cleverness, he's just a man. Then just sits there telling a woman she already thinks is mentally unstable that she isn't sorry for sleeping with her husband and thinks nothing bad could possibly come of that? She's not wrong but she is very stupid lbr.

"It looks like you're pretending" "isn't everyone?" "Yes but it's not supposed to be so obvious" -- autism coded protagonist if you even care.

Oh my god I don't know if I can do this protagonist with 0 self awareness oh noo

Oh my gooood. I know it's not Rosamund's fault she's so ignorant but the self-serving emotionally immature behaviour is absolutely infuriating. "I wish I had died with the baby" oh my god girl if only.

The hospital board meeting scene was giving me flashbacks to transcribing Poor Laws Guardian minutes I hope we don't get more of that can we just stay in Rome for a bit?

Apparently this has now turned into Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) what the hell do you mean it's flying
