Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.

Knives Out: Autumn in a country house

Glass Onion: Summer on a private island

Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town

So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.

pro lifer blocked me on twitter for asking this but if embryos have souls, and then they're aborted, exactly how sapient are they in the afterlife? Are they forever doomed to float around with no thoughts in their heads? Is it like just animal intelligence like a little happy goldfish? Do they still have an embryonic form? I've always seen an assumption that child souls are still in child form so I guess so. Do the other people in the afterlife keep abortions as little pets? Will they stay in a fishbowl or are they too stupid + intangible and float right out again?

Thinking back to the first story I ever started writing down (I was 7 or 8) about a group of stray cats who, every full moon, took the form of human kids. They actually were human kids, who had been killed (all at different times/by different people). Their bodies were each dumped by the side of the road where a cat had been hit by a car previously, and their souls landed in the cats' bodies. Eventually they all found each other and decided that every full moon, when they shifted, they'd try to solve each other's murders one by one. It was going to be a series, with each book focusing on a different kid's murder mystery. I told my mom about it once, briefly, and she said "Those cat books (warrior cats) are making you creepy."

[filmnoirsbian]

Just finished writing this manuscript, the first story I ever started. 23 years in the making. Never give up, even if your mom calls you creepy 🖤

[t4tvampireisms]

I say this as a neurodivergent that gets overstimulated a lot, y’all have got to learn how to be adults and solve your own problems. There’s this girl I saw on TikTok, and she had on a bunch of jewelry and cool necklaces, and she was on a plane. People in the comments were getting mad at her for wearing jewelry that made some noises, saying that if they sat next to her they’d be overstimulated, implying she was being “too much”. 

Other people don’t exist to cater to y’all’s comfort. Other people don’t have to dim their sparkle because YOU think it’s a lot. Be adults and solve your own problems; put on headphones, download movies, listen to music, but don’t make your issues other people’s problem when it’s so easy to fix.

I’m about to buy and read the crow plastic romantasy book

Help

[squidong]

Welcome to the fae future, where you can never use a vibrator again.

[squidong]

He recognized her as his ~mate~. She’s Australian, so she keeps casually calling him “mate” as he gets increasingly flustered.

I genuinely cannot tell if this book is terrible or brilliant.

[squidong]

I have many questions. For instance, if his job is to destroy plastic but he spends most of his time hunting monsters, does that mean the monsters are made of plastic? How does that work?

[squidong]

I GUESS

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This looks amazing actually

[resmeae]

I tried to find this book and found several crow romantasy books, none of which match the description. Halp.

[squidong]

The Company of Vengeful Crows: Season of the Crow, by Lana Pecherczyk

The plastic thing isn’t actually all that central to the plot as written.

[squidong]

[squidong]

“I’m sorry” and “thank you” are words that create a debt bond that fae can cash in on?

[squidong]

Also I forgot to mention - our heroine is in her mid to late thirties! She was married to an asshole ex-football (soccer) star for 15 years before the apocalypse happened, he dumped her, and poof she woke up in the fae future.

Blake (the character) is from Perth, and definitely low-brow - that’s why she got dumped in the first place. Shoutout to the notes for introducing me to the term “bogan”. Half the aussies in the notes are like “I know people who talk exactly like that” and half of them are convinced the author has never met an Australian in her life. I’m inclined to side with the first half, since the author is Australian.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Australians seeing something that Australians do in a different part of the country and declaring that no Australian does that is, in itself, very Australian.

[hollowedskin]

Look if she's in Perth this may very well be happening in real life. They do weird shit over there.

PREV TAGS WAIT DO THEY PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN AUSTRALIA???

I read “footballer” & thought “okay it’s not the US so that means soccer” but the way he’s described does sound more hulking and brutish than I generally think of soccer footballers.

Edit: looked it up. Australian rules football is more like American football than it is like soccer. Neat. This book is teaching me so many things

[squidong]

Did you just call us the c-word?

[squidong]

I’m not confused, dad! I’m just Australian!

River is the MMC, Talo is his dad. Our main couple are still not together despite the soulmate bond thing. She called River’s friend Ash “mate” to get under River’s skin because she was mad at him, and his family misinterpreted drastically.

I love this book with my entire heart. I’m posting the goofier excerpts, but it is genuinely a delightful romp. Not a satire or parody, quite genre-typical in fact, but extremely clever and heartfelt while still being willing to laugh at itself. Highly recommend for those who enjoy het romantasy.

WHO TOLD HER

[squidong]

Word of god, y’all, it sounds like the microplastics aren’t addressed 😔

[squidong]

I don’t think I can describe how poignant the context to this scene is, but I have been enjoying the crow-UV-color layer of worldbuilding immensely. Also, I was wondering about her colorful hair in the original viral post.

[squidong]

THE CULTURE CLASH WORDPLAY CONTINUES

[squidong]

So for context he carved a tree to represent her ex and—

[wiping away a tear] Blake baby you are so fucking perfect

[squidong]

River’s mom is trying to get Blake dolled up to seduce River, and preparing to chew her son out for failing to give his mate a proper orgasm (they still aren’t really together). Meanwhile River’s sisters are like “stop mom you’re so embarrassing”. Sex seems to be a much less taboo subject among crows.

[squidong]

The author posted a FAQ and it is delightful (link)

[redstonedust]

to be honest even if vaccines did cause autism i would rather live in a world where everyone is vaccinated and some of those people have autism than an unvaccinated autismless world. like ok whatever. would you rather have autism or polio. autism or measels. idk about yall but im choosing autism every time. its not even a hard choice.

[bigscaryd]

That is what they're saying. They believe dead is better than autistic.
