Graceish ✨’s Reviews > Carl's Doomsday Scenario > Status Update

[My original plan was to have Donut stay outside while I went in solo. She absolutely refused.

"You promised me that I wouldn't die alone," she said. "You can't keep that promise if you die before me. We do this together."]

["I don't know why I go on. I wish I hadn't chosen this body. I should've remained true to myself. We all die anyway. How can we make it to heaven if god doesn't recognize us?"]

Again, the profundity in a book that is largely action- and comedy-based. Pure genius.

["No, I'm serious, Carl. This guy could be the second coming of Chuck Norris, but we can't have him in the party. People would laugh at us."

"You know you're a Persian car, right?" I said.

"What is that supposed to mean, Carl?"]

["Well, fuck you very much," I called back to them.]

My man!

[We were about to cause a very large, very loud ruckus.]

Lmao, the understatement of the century.

["That's what they're gonna put on my tombstone."

"Don't be silly, Carl. They don't give us tombstones here."]

CARLLLLL, YESSSS!! All of this.
Gods I love this book and Carl and Donut.

[Donut scoffed. "How the heck should I know? I'm a cat!" More laughter. "But I do know this, Butler. One, I know that I don't know enough about this subject to voice a proper opinion on it, unlike you, who is obviously talking out of your behind. And two, I know my partner here has a very poor opinion of you. Isn't that right, Carl?"

"Yup," I said. "You're a dipshit."]

I want to be both Donut and Carl.

["We'll give you three, and you also give me the potion to stop the world from being wavy," Donut said sleepily. I hadn't even realized she'd been paying attention. "Oh, my word. Carl, I think I might vomit. You didn't warn me about this." She took another drink and then started growling at the bowl.]

Drunk Donut was not on my 2026 bingo card, but I am delighted for it.

["Yeah, I want to try that one."

“Cats don't drink cocktails," I said.

"Cats don't shoot lasers from their eyes, either, but here we are, Carl. Mama needs a night off."]
