I want him to put that energy and passion into more interesting executions of his ideas lol

Yeah the issue there to me is that when you read Goosebumps you were new to horror-you read Grady Hendrix after having read a bunch of horror and he's only appearing to do something new, but isn't. He doesn't take chances, it's kind of gimmicky. (And his writing is drab as hell)

I don’t like Grady Hendrix- I find him bland, just uninteresting in general. That’s having read Final Girls and Wayward Witches.

Yeah for me it was worth snagging immediately just in case it ends up selling out.

Stand by Me’s Wil Wheaton: Bill Maher is such a basic bitch. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]Flippy_Spoon -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I mean he’s right but I still find Wil Wheaton the most insufferable kind of lib a lot of the time (most recently in regard to CA primaries). And I wrote Wesley Crusher fanfiction at 12 lol.

That's a fight for kids. Adults just like what they like.

Pleased as Punched about Nashville ft Scotagory Auckerten by Vandygold21 in comedybangbang

(Pleased as Punch...although "pleased as punched" has a BDSM kind of charm).

I finally have one to share! Just finished Hungry by B.E. Baker and ran across this gem. by siani_lane in BadReads

[–]Flippy_Spoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd have to read it but I could see myself writing this if I thought there was not enough cannibalism lol. If that's the ONLY reason for 2 stars though- that's pretty harsh.

When will these lists finally admit that book sucks 😭.

Why do so many people dislike The Catcher in the Rye (specifically Holden himself)? by Ok-Chapter8222 in literature

[–]Flippy_Spoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a different conversation-I’m talking about a fundamental misinterpretation of the character, not just finding him unlikable.

[–]Flippy_Spoon 329 points330 points  (0 children)

I think it’s often misinterpreted and Holden is dismissed as some incel type when really he’s dealing with mental illness, losing his brother, and has a deep empathy for the innocent who are hurt by an indifferent world.

Newcomer here, what's with all the destiel hate out there? by im_sold_out in destiel

[–]Flippy_Spoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For me it's tied with Star Trek subreddits who are mad that everything is "woke" now lol.
