Yeah, I really felt like the just 'mental health club' title was fine on it's own

Yeah it does! I just misunderstood with the context of the other thread popping up lol don't mind me it's been a long day.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

OOooooooh okay thank you I guess I thought you were tryna separate the mental health stuff from the neurodivergence stuff, but that makes sense too

I leave for one day chat one day (jk)

The title for this one changed and now there's a new one ?????????? also isn't that talns PFP?????????

wait . . . . . did this split into two threads?? Am I going crazy?

y'know when you have a really weird icky dream and it leaks into the morning after and now you're depressed for no reason? yeah . . . . it was a stupid dream too but here I am

They're are so cool!! I love Jinx and Deku

Yeah, that's what we call it in America because it's less standard for citizens but the military uses it for clarity (I think). My friend has it that way on her phone too lol, so it's not like it's uncommon or anything. I was just raised with AM/PM

It took way too long for my poor American brain to decipher the military time loll. Sorry it's been a bad night

The Jinx pfp probably isn't helping my case, actually . . .. GO TO SLEEP

(If the eventual movie adaptation doesn't give him the most outrageously thick French accent I can and will walk out of the theater/j)

I'm still sane, don't worry

hehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehe heyya yeah I have no idea whats going on man

These are amazing! I personally love the "You will be warm again" piece of Hoid and Kaladin, the illustrative elements and composition are really nice!

Me when I walk into the schools lobby, banana in hand, and they've decorated with massive Olympics themed decorations everywhere because they're raising money for a Christmas charity: w h a t

Oh interesting! I've heard a lot about xxxHolic because I was a really big Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles fan in middle school. I haven't gotten to it myself, though my sister said she really liked it.

"Let's go!" Sharlin said impatiently. "I don't want to miss any of the action "

Hehe that's amazing! They're both favorites of mine as well .

Finished The Lie Tree by by Francis Hardinge last night. It was . . . it was a book. I generally don't have much to say because above all it was just really bland. I don't think any of it's ideas were bad, but it carried them out with very little grace and sometimes the narration strayed into angsty middle schooler writing. It's a good thing that I wasn't particularly attached to the concept, otherwise maybe I'd be more disappointed and have a stronger opinion. I want to make it clear that I didn't hate it, there wasn't anything really to hate just as much as there wasn't anything to like. I did however appreciate that the author did her best to write with a prose style that fit her historical setting. A lot of YA books are written in 21st century language even if their contents are very far removed from modern day, and I find that extremely annoying. This book actually had a unique voice, and It did feel like I was reading the thoughts of a 19th century teenager. In reviews of the book, a lot of people were complaining that this was one of those 'historically based' books who's main character is way too progressive for her time, and that the girl power message is unrealistic. I kind of dislike that criticism in general for certain reasons, though I understand where people are coming from. I actually felt like this book did things pretty well. While the message lacked much needed subtly and perhaps even nuance, I felt like it was realistic for the time. The main characters conclusions about women and women's rights are good first steps towards modern day ideas, not shoehorned in modern ideas that a 19th teenager would never think of. The message just comes off wrong because as I've said, it's not written very well. This book also chooses to tackle the topic of religion vs science and I don't know if it was handled very well. Obviously, this was a hot topic at the time and definitely an interesting topic for a YA historical story. But, as someone who has personal opinions on the subject, I felt like the topic wasn't given enough time and was reduced to a black-and-white version of the actual issue. I'm fine with reading books that may come to a different conclusion then my personal beliefs, I can completely respect that, but I felt like this book just didn't give the issue the care and attention it needed. I hate to say it, but it felt stuck in for added drama. I'd actually love to read a historical book that tackles this topic with skill and care. I gave it 2.5/5 stars last night, not because it was worse then a 3 star (which is a typical average) but because it was just so bland that I have a hard time rating it higher. I'll probably forget about it in a few months, honestly. (Btw, this whole time I'm using the term 'historical' pretty loosely because it takes place during the late 1800's, but there are magical elements, so I guess it strays more into magical realism).

I actually love this meme RIP Hoid you would've loved cosplay conventions.
