Oh come on, everybody knows that online is the exact same thing as real life, let's not pretend that chapo didn't singlehandedly ruin Hilary

What do you reckon about "debts"?

Man it's been a minute since I played Origins, but yeah I think I remember mage being a pain in the arse, super fiddly

Ohhh yeah that's a funny one lol. You even meet Sten again in a later game and he just kinda no-sells it

Dragon Age Origins?

Hasn't happened to me once, skill issue

Oh yeah, when I say enforced I very much mean externally imposed and not just self-enforced. No man is an island but all women can be North Korea (self-loathingly isolationist in pursuit of some fantasised independence as a defence against inevitably being let down/attacked by the Other)

Oh for sure. I mean it's even been years since I read Normal People so I can't really recall sufficiently to say tbh, I just have a general memory of my impression afterwards which was of sort of bleakness and enforced narcissism

Thinking back, I'm not sure that Rooney's so much giving way to men as almost making out like they're completely unimportant, which is a choice but not one that really turns out well in her books at least. Not read either of the others you mention.

/ but this is interesting too. I certainly came away from Normal People feeling kinda grubby and depressed without really being able to say why.

I mean I'll be real, I was just thinking about someone on twitter doing speech bubble retweet of a woman wishing that the attempt to make New Adult a publishing category had been more successful as she writes stuff that's probably too mature for YA's age bracket but that's what it'd get lumped into

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing us to be afraid of being cringe

So much going on here! All of it absolutely wild!

Jail²

Oh this isn't an angle I'd seen, what's this?

Oh it's an incredible item in the art of clickbait for sure, but definitely, get your purgatory in now
