Maybe I am just a big larper or the author just whated to make murder bot special but why is thare not a person that gos full borg. Like they are always speaking on and on about how sec units are just better but I genuinely think at least once we should see a person go full borg to fill that hole. thare are cyborgs but none of them are cool they are just lame or annoying.

To the author of the murder bot diaries my soul is yours if you can make a full borg person I just what to see them interact with n murder bot.

Book 11 of he who fights with monsters, part 2 to be more specific, really brought me back in to not dropping he who fights with monsters because I am so tired of the main character being trapped in some kind of pocket world. I what to see what really drives the characters. I am a big fan of his writing when it comes to what drives them, (I do t remember names I just know who is who when it happens in the book) the dragon guy and the slave girl have a great relationship and her leaving to push him to gold is vary cool.

Please give me more of that. No more pocket worlds give me more power struggles because some diamond ranker what’s something or more likely gold but you know what I mean.

And I hope to god I hear less of “it’s kind of my thing” please stop

screenplays and breaking the rules.

I found the screenplay I was telling you about after class last Monday. It is called NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. You can find the full thing online. But as I showed you with House of Leaves, it also breaks the rules of screenplays in an interesting way. I don't remember much about the movie itself, but on page 73, you can see what I am talking about.

He Who Fights With Monsters 1-6

I have my roses and thorns for this crazy long book series. How you get powers is interesting. I really like that there is an easy way and a hard way, and that you can explain why everybody doesn't have powers. the big thorn that stabs my thumb when I read this is how often it tells us what a power does; we are on book 6. I do not need you to explain the ins and outs of every skill whenever it is brought up. I do like that familiars have a personality outside of being a thing the MC has to use to beat the next big bad guy. It reminds me of the Cradle books with Little Blue and Vorthos.

I do recommend this book to others if they like Dungen Craler Carl, but I do like Carl much more than I like Jason.

For fans of Twilight and Netflix's You comes Something's Amiss at Juniper's House (@somethingsamissatjunipershouse). A new full cast fiction podcast with a supernatural romance! I've been longing for a podcast like this, equal parts horror and romance, and all suspense. Kayla, Dustin, and their team have really made something special!

About the Show

Finley’s met someone… and she is everything. Their dream girl, Juniper Sumac, might be too good to be true. Is young love just that magical, or is something sinister brewing? Between the bodies in the basement and some pretty intense earthquakes, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that things aren't as they seem.

But hey, who doesn’t have baggage?

The first two episodes are available now, with new episodes every other Saturday. Listen on Apple Podcast, Spotify Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast app!

Woodbine EP 14

This episode was great! going back and forth from following the transport of the book to the person who wants the book. Explaining why we need the book by having the problem follow them is something we really only see on TV, because you can get a bit more hints on who is following. But doing it in a podcast puts more mystery on why they are following, who sent them, or if they are a part of the book, what makes them follow.

The Wondering Inn book two interlude

I am not the biggest fan of the way that the author had the clown's story end. the whole time that the little boy is dying in his arms i am thinking, "Oh, he is going to use the potions that the knight gave him after being hurt, showing that his care for others is more than skin deep, like the other folks in his party" but as the sean gos on the aurther keeps pushing the clown to be a crazy violent person. Then, in the fight, he uses the potion for himself, which is where it lost me. And so I skipped it. I hope we see more of him, but instead of being crazy, he comes back to an interesting world singger.

music and how I visualise it

As I get older, the more I am disappointed in music videos. When I was in elementary school, I would sit at the family computer and watch AMV for hours until one of my siblings kicked me off so they could play Club Penguin or something to that effect. After a while, I began to develop my own taste in music, and every time I listen to music, even now, I make the most over-the-top ideas for what I think the music videos should be. To make an example of a song that I loved, the idea of which was my thoughts on the song Natural Disasters by Enon. I think of this song like a fancy party, we start out with it being very tame, all the folks looking prim and proper. We see the band in the background playing, it stays like this till the line "so sorry that you're crushed, goodbye to you today." after this we see a drop of a cup this holds as the song winds back down it then pops back to a hard dance party almost a rave with a black tie theam, when we get to the line "well keep the conversation keep it clean and dry". We will use this time, in which we keep the same energy, to show as many interesting outfits as we can, as bodies jerk to the music. I think the best way to end this song is to have someone enter the party room, like all that energy flowed out like a draft. We will hold on to them, going through the destroyed room, with trash and food all over the floor and them selfs.

The third and final part of the NQD Q&A is wiggling its way to your phones and preferred listening devices!! It has an announcement at the end: I will be running a crowdfunder for NQD S4 in March 2025!!

You can sign up to be notified about the launch here:

Coming soon: Not Quite Dead: A Show About Vampires Season Four

The 4th season of an original vampire audio drama good enough to sink your teeth into. By Eira Major.

I'd be super grateful if you did, even if you aren't intending to pledge in March or if you're not sure if you'll be able to. The more pre-sign ups I get, the more visible the campaign is to Kickstarter, and the more likely the campaign is to be successful!

science class labs

In either 8th or 9th grade, I was in an end-of-year lab where we dissected a frog. At the time, I was not a big talker, so I had no friends in the class, and my lab partners were folks I did not know. One of these in our motel group of three was another, not a big talker, no idea what her name is now, but she had a shit-eating grin as she cut this frog open as if this was what he was waiting for. She did all the cleasha shit you can think of, making it talk, walk, cutting it more than needed. If that day opened a door in her, it would be better to stay closed. Taking dissecting frogs to dissect humans, maybe not in an official way if you can read between the lines. Perhaps she will be the next Zodiac, Bundy, or BTK.

I have never got to THE END.

No matter what game it is, I never get to the end of the story, never beat the final boss, never save the princes, never save the world, I get there or get close, but I never beat them, let them end the role, and put their costumes back in the closet. No matter what kind, open world, RPG, track-based, puzzles. I will never beat the Ender Dragen, never beat the Elger brain, never kill the Elden beast, and become the Elden lord. Not even in person-to-person games. Monopoly, Yahtzee, magic the gathering, coup, smash bros. I can just say that's luck.

But I had fun all the same.

I have explored the lands in between and the city of Balders Gate. I made some of my best friends play these games, and even talking about them has improved my life.

yaoi and my hate

I was in the mall looking at the new bookstore after taking my sister to get her a new water bottle she wanted. But I saw yarichin bitch club, so as a joke, I sent it to a friend of mine, not Capshen, just a pick. And he told me to read it and write something about it, so I did. I read up to chapter 5, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that this is a waste of ink and paper. First, I knew going into it that it was born in comic clothes, but I did not think it would be that bad. No matter how much I bought into it, the MC did not understand the world around him. It is a high school club he can leave anytime; he sighed nothing; at least they did not show that. He expresses that he does not want to be around the others in the club, so why does he keep going back? HE GOES TO A NAKED STUDY SHESH!!! There are kernels of things that are interesting, two characters in the club, one has sex with whoever he whats the other only has sex with him. This is something that can be interesting for a gay story. It's not something that is out of the world of reason; then we have a love triangle that, if this was not a porno in the skin of a comic, is trying to get us to think about incest, and I don't like that.

if you take out all the sex, I think it would be an ok B rate gay comic A if they take out the incest.

what made the author think that incest would make us want to ship them is gay incest? That hoots there. There is no centering either. You see cock and all as they have sex in school.

I hope that book dries roots on that shelf and is bought, then crumbles in the loser's hand.
