Ok, hear me out…

“Great pass”

“Great goal”

THIS IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN A NUTSHELL!

- Ilya makes the first move in the showers, but Shane is the one who lets him into his room and drops to his knees

- Ilya is the first to use their first names, but once Shane starts, he can’t stop

- Ilya is the first to suggest leaving Boston, but Shane is the one who stays up all night forming a ten-year plan

- Ilya is the first to say ‘I love you’, but Shane meets it with ‘god I love you so much’ and ‘this is Ilya… I love him’

All through their time together, Ilya moves first, but Shane moves further

“Great pass”

“Great goal”

MAG 70 “Book of the Dead” review:

JURGEN FUCKIN LEIT—ner???

Wait what? He’s not connected to this one? Hmm. Strangely enough that feels like it takes all the fun out of it. Anyways. This episode was truly horrific.

Horror can be scary, but true horror is gross. It’s sick, it leaves a dreadful, iron ball sinking within your stomach. The all too certain knowledge of the gore that is before you. That is horror. Knowing when you’ll die and how is already a horrid fate, but for it to change for the worse with every read? That’s extremely Kafkaesque, making it so that it can only ever get worse. I feel for Mr. Murray. Given the supernatural, when some of it has it out for you, the only way to save yourself is to use something also supernatural. So has he died a horrific death, or sacrificed something to live an unnatural life? We may never know.

Also real quick let’s go back to Sasha and her computer problems. The bit Sims says is specifically ‘authentication errors when attempting to connect with external devices or networks.’ Sims is too much of a dumbass to realize what this means but luckily I am a slightly more knowledgeable dumbass. Clearly Not!Sasha is trying to connect something that isn’t usually part of Sasha’s normal devices to the computer for some unknown reason. We know that there’s horror in the digital now thanks to MAG 65, but what use does some body double made from a weird table have for technology? I guess more-so why does one have use for a fake boyfriend but whatever. We won’t know until we know. Ugh.

I’ll give this episode an 8 gruesome endings out of 10 blank pages, would go missing as to make sure nobody else dies a horrific death again. Hey wait what if you had terminal cancer and you used the book while in the late stage, woudl it prolong your life for a gruesome death? Idk

Statement ends.

Supplemental Review: so obviously whoever actually makes these books has to have at least one law: it has to exist as a book. That means that we can at least date the existence of these supernatural texts, as they require some form of parchment. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the first “book” according to the internet, but the oldest our culprit could be also gives a location of possible origin: Egypt. Papyrus was basically the first paper, which is the first and immediate connection to the Supernatural Books. I could ramble on more but all my energy for this just flew out the window. I’ll get to actually reviewing the supplemental.

Oh wait, there’s next to nothing to review here. Gertrude burned down the Solomon book in that one room. I swear we’ve been to that room before? I remember somebody talking about a room with wooden chairs before. Aside from that, Sims has the first level all mapped out. I honestly didn’t think there were multiple. But since this book was confirmed burned, but one other around, Sims is left searching for the rest of Gertrude’s Leitners.

End supplemental.
