today’s warmup sketch
Hello, this is a longshot saving life call, I am Imonje from Gaza. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, just an injection for today to save my life please I beg. I was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes and due to the current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. My donation link is attached in the pinned post, I might have sent this ask to you earlier but kindly consider donating and sharing. This is the only option I have at the moment to save my life from going into a coma.
If you have the means, please help donating.
The biggest plot twist of this book is revealing that Kevin Day isn't the biggest drama queen in exy.
thinking about Todd Anderson
Sirius who never thought he’d live to see 18. His family would kill him by then.
Remus who never thought he’d live to see 18. The wolf would kill him by then.
Regulus who never thought he’d live to see 18. He would kill himself by then.
Sirius who ran away early and made a new family.
Remus who outlived them all.
Regulus who was right. And killed himself at 18.
I completely agree. I've seen many people say that aftg's writing is bad, but I really don't see why
There are super deep characters with soooo much to find out about, with so many quotes that are full of meaning and sometimes we barely notice it, but its there anyway
Besides the fact of how, even being a third person narrative, its almost like neil was writing the books himself. you can CLEARLY see his personality in every line. "oh but there are stuff about the protagonist's life that we don't even know until the other characters find out" so???? you can't tell me that that's not the biggest neil josten thing to do. come on the guy lied so much that he was almost believing in his own lies, HE'S NOT A TRUSTABLE PROTAGONIST, THAT'S THE FUN PART, LET HIM BE.
"oh but there are so many characters and the narrator still only talks about his past, andrew, kevin and exy" again. three words. neil fucking josten. he was running away from his serial killer father, he had to do his best not to get attached to everyone and everything because if something happened he was ready to run away right in that second
And the point only proves itself when we get to TSC and in one book Jean talks about a thousand different people all the time
Don't FUCKING argue with me. "Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. He didn't want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother." Is a fucking dynamite intro!! Is it edgy as fuck? Yeah. So? Is it hella melodramatic? Probably. So? Is it bad writing? Motherfucking NO! It's damn near expert level execution of several writing principles!
Who is the story about? First two words, next question.
Catch the reader's attention as soon as possible? "Why the fuck is he wasting a cigarette?" Intrigue successfully demanded, next question.
Raise questions that will keep the reader hanging long enough to have answered? "Why the fuck does acrid smoke trigger his mommy issues?" + "Wait it's because he burned her corpse??" Many many more questions raised + blind sided reader via preconceived expectations being subverted, next question.
Character establishing moment? What other characters use for physical and emotional regulation, he uses to fucking reminisce and wallow in his feelings, next question.
Set the tone for the rest of the story? Edgy, melodramatic, and emotionally gut wrenching, NEXT. FUCKING. QUESTION!
The Muses asked Nora to roll for Hook and she rolled a nat 20 five times in a row in 30 words or less. Hook, Line, and motherfucking Sinker bitches
Some of y'all need to stop ragging on AFTG's writing and start using it as a fucking case study cus this shit has the addiction capacity of heroine and god help the goddamn saltine cracker throwing stones
wolfstar and conan gray will be the end of me
My favorite Conan song with my 2 favorite boys 😤🙏 @conangray-marauders-fest
My biggest roman empire is the connections between Dead Poets Society and The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Todd Anderson and Mr. Anderson
How Mr. Anderson cared so much for Charlie because he saw so much of his old self in him (Todd)
How Charlie's best friend (Michael) killed himself
How Todd's best friend (Neil) killed himself
The presence of a teacher that would change everything for Todd and Charlie (Mr. Keating and Mr. Anderson)
How reading is something so apreciated for the characters and so essencial in their lifes
How both Charlie and Todd were so lonely and the family they find in their newest friend group
Honestly, I could talk about it for hours in a row and it would still not be enough
Grant Chapman is so "all my love" by Noah Kahan
can anyone tell me if is there going to be a TSC Vol. 2!?!?!?? I physicaly cannot live without it, I'm obsessed, I haven't been able to read anything else because I just won't stop thinking about it, it's getting unhealthy
Remus would joke with James saying that he had a crush on Fleamont just to mess with him, change my mind (he was not joking)
