    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD????

    a wild premise illustrated by insanely vivid poetic prose and extremely fucked characters. also, the author does NOT hold back on any account. easily the most messed up book i’ve ever read, and that’s a good thing!!

    sole is a complicated, compelling character, and i still cheered him on even when he was doing terrible terrible things. that’s how well he was written.

    i really appreciated the exploration of cultism and religion, and the exploration of the relationship between art and the body. i’m also obsessed with how this book used body horror and visceral, gross imagery to both break down and enforce the connection between the body, the earth, and the divine.

    all round a difficult, horrible, messy, disgusting, beautiful clusterfuck of a book. i have recommended it to all my trans-body-horror-enjoyer friends.

  • favorite creepy plants?

    though i personally do not have much experience in biology (or plants, specifically), one of my favorite hyperfixations as a kid was strange looking plants! things like the corpse flower, venus flytraps, etc. are all very well known (and i personally LOVE them, they're so cool), but in 4th grade, i did an extra credit presentation on cobra lilies/california pitcher plants (darlingtonia californica) 🤩🤩they're just so bulbous looking and weird (which i love), but also very oddly beautiful. they're carnivorous and tend to grow near bogs and are considered quite rare! also, unlike other pitcher plants, they don't catch rain water to fill their pitchers; rather, they store water they draw up from their roots in their pitchers. apparently, they also smell really bad

    cobra lilies

    what is everyone's favorite creepy plant? what drew you to creepy plants 👀👀

  • What colour is your mermaid tail? 🧜‍♀️

    You know when we were kids in the pool and you'd have those conversations about what your mermaid tail's colour is and what powers would you have?

    Well, my mermaid tail is dark purple (i will concede lilac to you @lizzyy) with an oil slick sheen and my power is the ability to sing to make other mermaids less anxious.

    What about you? 💜

  • Have you ever read a book where a character had the same job as you?

    If so, what was the job? Do you think the author knew what they were talking about, or should they have done more research? If they made any mistakes describing the job, what were they? Were they major or minor details?

    I'm especially interested in hearing from people with unique jobs, jobs involving forensics, nurses/doctors, etc. but I want to hear from everyone of course!

    Have a great day everyone :))
