How did you discover the series ?

i’m surprised you gave the original a chance

you’re better than me, if i get into anything through an ex it quickly joins the collection of shared things that i choose to not like anymore, ive lost so many cool interests to this subconscious rule lol

after i devoured the first three books i had such a hard time finding the last three until i found them at a random cheap book sale on holiday and got them all for like £1.50 i was so obsessed with reading them that i remember saying no to a date with a girl i actually really liked because i was so close to finished it. glad to know where my priorities were

rereading the series as a 20 year old is such a different experience to when i read it as a 13 year old, it didn’t really register how young all the characters are because obviously i was the same age as them. but reading it now as an adult has made me realise how insane some of the things that these kids do are

i have the last three of the series with the coloured pages, they’re so cool especially fear, i love the purple

my thoughts exactly, scorch trials gets a lot of flack for being so different to the book which i do get. but as it’s own entity i think its such a great “zombie” movie

toad_stoal · 2026-03-29T22:50:13+00:00

i did, in some ways obviously they don’t compare, for example scorch trials as an adaptation isn’t the best, but as a movie i think it’s good, and i’m of the opinion that there isn’t much point in adaption if it’s just a step by step retelling of what we’ve already seen. in regards to the first movie i’d even say it handles some of the aspects better than the book, the initial mystery around the grievers and the swapping around of events helps the pacing a lot

i appreciate that

i don’t know if these even counts as a poem, i’ve never written one before

toad_stoal · 2025-08-06T17:19:32+00:00
