then i guess this book is based on a very improbable premise...

happened in an episode of supernatural and im curious too.. sounds very awkward tho 😭

maybe that ep inspired the book

and do people actually let them in?

yeah, i agree about the village thing as well! it's defo normalized and i guess it's a good thing? at least where i am from, it's very much about hospitality like a random person coming and asking for some water and it will be given.

in an ideal world yeah
even canada i think has changed quite lot at least when it comes to the big cities. when i lived in toronto, i didnt really feel safe on the streets.

i didn't expect you to have lived in toronto, omg? i also live in toronto but, more in a suburban area so, im good there but, sometimes when i go to certain sketchy areas in downtown, i have some trepidation or have just seen weird shit that makes me feel unsafe 😭😭

it depends on that person. in big cities mostly no. but where i live a suburb people don't mind and sometimes we even offer tea and sweets to strangers.

yeah i lived in canada for 3 years and left in 2024.
and i know which areas u mean lol i hated going downtown - there was always something going on there. i lived in the annex which was nice and quiet, most of the time. overall i enjoyed my time there but canada is deffo not for a single person - surviving there on ur own would be tough as balls.

that's so neat! an unexpected connection for me. and i've been there a bunch of times, defo agree that it's one of the most peaceful areas. i can understand what you mean - i was born in toronto and my whole family is here so, ig this is like the only life i basically know 😭😭 but, there are a lot of things that i can see would be problematic for someone living on their own.

noo, i've been there for i guess vacationing/cultural reasons. i'm eelam tamil 😊 (more understandably, srilankan-tamil but, i don't refer to myself as such for political reasons) so, i've been to tamil nadu because of that.
