Thank you Jenna Jackson for this amazingness

Forever indebted to @mostlysignssomeportents for this one.
I actually do [somethinghere] with a vague description of what i need between the brackets. You never really use [] or [[]] in writing so it’s VERY EASY to ctrl+f and find it, and it stands out to your editor if you forget (which i have a lot)
since the whole Gay Babadook thing got popular, i’ve honestly gotten less paranoid being home alone in my (pretty creepy) house. whenever i hear a bump, i just think “oh that’s just the babadook in my basement, doing his gay shit” and it’s suddenly not scary
Thank You, Gay Babadook
My dad told me when he was in grad school they'd have to race to the library to get the class readings on reserve, because the Chilean students would steal the readings and hide them. "It was like a state secret of the Chilean government!"
Parks & Rec, Pretty Little Liars and the Fast & Furious films all exist in the same universe
And SCANDAL WTF
Oh jeez, SCANDAL….
….and BATTLESHIP too, apparently. It’s a goddamn conspiracy
Oh god. He’s on REVENGE too. How deep does this rabbit-hole go….
Oh my god. DEXTER.
THE ACTUAL NEWS
I read an interview with this guy (who is a real news anchor), and he said he told his acting agent that he is ONLY interested in parts where he plays a new anchor. This is no coincidence. This is by design.
what is his plan

#Spider Man Homecoming looks so good #what an original revision of Spider Man
I see this in parking lots and it makes me sick. It’ll be 90-100 degrees outside and people will leave their Hugh Jackmans in the car with the window cracked only a little bit. If you see this please call someone so the poor thing can be taken somewhere safe
yeah seriously
make sure your hugh jackman is more like a leo dicaprio
Hate-Read Book Club: This Victorian Life - Ch 2 & 3
Sarah begins Chapter 2 giving a lesson on the history of the Thanksgiving holiday. Honestly, it’s fine. The holiday does have decidedly Victorian beginnings, so it makes sense to go over it. But I will reiterate that she and her husband moved into their new Victorian house in the middle of a snowstorm the day before Thanksgiving (which is why she brings it up), and as a person who likes to enjoy holidays with family, and once had to move in the middle of an ice storm that delayed everything a day or two and never ever ever wishes that on anyone, I think they’re nuts.
There's not much to this chapter - she quotes a story from an old Good Housekeeping about a couple moving into their new house, and follows it up with her own contribution to Victorian prose. She's definitely immersed in the style of the period and it's affected how she writes. That's what happens. But it's a style that can get trying very quickly to the modern reader.
Hate-Read Book Club: This Victorian Life - Ch 1
Here’s where our heroes regale us with moving into their Victorian era house in the middle of a snowstorm. On one hand, the tale sounds rather humorous and could be a cute little write up in a magazine about buying your first house and not knowing what to do that first night when it’s freezing and you have no furniture. On the other hand, this just seems like a bunch of foolishness, which is the way I ended up taking it. Because Sarah did not write this in a “oh my gosh, what were we thinking?!” way, but more of a, “look at us being adventurous and not taking better care of our well-being!” kind of way.
This is how you know a kid born in the 80s is a little wacky -- the electricity going out and NO TV OR NINTENDO?! I don’t think most of us realized we wanted that peace and quiet until we became jaded Millennials who are constantly around screens and mostly don’t want to deal with texts from an ex or email from work.
Hate-Read Book Club: This Victorian Life - Introduction
Having just started this book, I can already tell you I’m annoyed with everything about Sarah Chrisman and she’s barely revealed anything. She has a very flowery way of writing that lends itself better to a novel than a memoir. It’s part of the pompousness of her being that I can’t stand. We can all enjoy our weird selves, I’m all for that, but putting down 99.999999% of the population for not being your brand of weird is just you being an awful person.
Here’s our intrepid couple, ready for a spin around town. I’m already irritated and we haven’t even started.
She starts off with her elevator pitch. But I have five words: indoor plumbing and air conditioning. Also Pamprin and the ability to wear pants. That’s what makes me comfortable.
The Hate-Read Book Club: This Victorian Life, ORIGINS
I don’t know about you, but I’m in desperate need of something non-political to channel my frustration into. Then this book appeared as a $1.99 Kindle deal, and it dawned on me that hate-reading a book from the Insufferable Victorian Couple would be a perfect way to do that. And my social media leads me to believe others would be entertained by it as well, either by reading it and contributing thoughts too, or just following along for the ride. I’ll read it so you don’t have to, as they say on The Worst Bestsellers. (Shout out to my friends at The Worst Bestsellers Podcast for inspiring this. You should give them a listen for more book reading shenanigans.)
No real hand-and-fast structure, just me reading and posting about how weirdly superior these folks are about their funky lifestyle, with you, fellow reader, contributing as you will. I’m more often on Twitter, so I’ll primarily post there, but Tumblr will fill in for longer thoughts. I’ll start posting about the Introduction and Chapter One starting Monday May 8th, and play it by ear after that.
If you’re interested in joining in, feel free to tag your posts on Tumblr and Twitter (you can find me @miss_amandamae) and join in on the fun of our own Victorian Rabbit Hole!

This is the most accurate gif of Florida I have ever seen.
”What the fuck?”
She’s not even scared, she’s just mad and confused.
baby gators are basically confused sharp bunnies who wander into other people’s pools for a dip and some sunbathing and might gnaw on u. mommas are the scary ones.
confused sharp bunnies
i’d argue that you don’t even have to worry about mommas. alligators are literally stoners. like don’t fuck with their stuff and they’ll just chill and leave you alone.
i grew up in florida. i was riding my bike once and managed to fall over and into a swamp full of gators and they just stared at me like ‘what the fuck did you do that for?’ they are some of the calmest creatures ever.
Alligators have not evolved in two hundred million years. They’re too lazy.
not sure what should happen next in your story?
Embarrass your protagonist. Make them seem weak and vulnerable in some way.
Shoot someone. That always takes the reader by surprise.
In relation, kidnap someone. Or, rather, make it seem to your protagonist like someone has been kidnapped.
Have one of your side characters disappear or become unavailable for some reason. This will frustrate your protagonist.
Have someone kiss the wrong girl, boy, or person, especially if you’ve been setting up a romance angle. It’s annoying.
If this story involves parents, have them argue. Push the threat of divorce, even if you know it won’t ever happen. It’ll make your readers nervous.
Have someone frame your protagonist for a crime they didn’t commit. This could range from a dispute to a minor crime to a full-blown felony.
If this is a fantasy story involving magic or witchcraft, create a terrible accident that’s a direct result of their spell-casting.
Injure your protagonist in some way, or push them into a treacherous scenario where they might not make it out alive.
Have two side characters who are both close to the protagonist get into a literal fist-fight. This creates tension for the reader, especially if these characters are well-developed, because they won’t know who to root for.
Make your protagonist get lost somewhere (at night in the middle of town, in the woods, in someone else’s house, etc.)
Involve a murder. It can be as in-depth and as important as you want it to be.
Introduce a new character that seems to prey on your protagonist’s flaws and bring them out to light.
If it’s in-character, have one of your characters get drunk or take drugs. Show the fallout of that decision through your protagonist.
Spread a rumor about your protagonist.
If your protagonist is in high-school, create drama in the school atmosphere. A death of a student, even if your protagonist didn’t know them personally, changes the vibe.
If your story involves children, have one of them do something dangerous (touch a hot stove, run out into the road, etc.) and show how the protagonist responds to this, even if the child isn’t related to them.
In a fantasy story, toss out the idea of a rebellion or war between clans or villages (or whatever units you are working with).
Add a scenario where your protagonist has to make a choice. We all have watched movies where we have screamed don’t go in there! at the top of our lungs at the main character. Make them go in there.
Have your protagonist find something, even if they don’t understand the importance of it yet. A key, a document, an old stuffed animal, etc.
Foreshadow later events in some way. (Need help? Ask me!)
Have your protagonist get involved in some sort of verbal altercation with someone else, even if they weren’t the one who started it.
Let your protagonist get sick. No, but really, this happens in real life all the time and it’s rarely ever talked about in literature, unless it’s at its extremes. It could range from a common cold to pneumonia. Maybe they end up in the hospital because of it. Maybe they are unable to do that one thing (whatever that may be) because of it.
Have someone unexpected knock on your protagonist’s door.
Introduce a character that takes immediate interest in your protagonist’s past, which might trigger a flashback.
Have your protagonist try to hide something from someone else and fail.
Formulate some sort of argument or dispute between your protagonist and their love interest to push them apart.
Have your protagonist lose something of great value in their house and show their struggle to find it. This will frustrate the reader just as much as the protagonist.
Create a situation where your protagonist needs to sneak out in the middle of the night for some reason.
Prevent your character from getting home or to an important destination in some way (a car accident, a bad storm, flat tire, running out of gas, etc.)
