Finished All The Parts of You That Won’t Easily Burn….
Blargh.

Seedling was a very foul and uncomfortable, yet intriguing look at the idea of grief/ how it brings us closer to people.

And then the guy is shown to have just fucking murdered his dad.
It kinda to the steam out of the metaphor….also the repeated use of the word “wound” make me want to peel my own skin off.
I don’t think I really fw this one either, it still has the problem of being totally stilted.

Side tangent: I don’t like the writing style, dialogue, or characterization.
I started the story thinking, possibly, it was an effect of Jillian’s trauma.
I do not think that now. It’s just kinda wonky, stilted writing.

I just finished This Skin Was Once Mine. Low-key…kinda ass cheeks. I understand what it is going for, but I feel it misses the mark entirely.
The story feels awfully convoluted while also being terribly predictable.
I know the message is “hurt people hurt people” but blegh. I do not think it is handled well.

It’s low-key incest torture porn in my opinion. To be blunt.
