Vampires Are The Sexiest Monsters

we're over halfway through 2026. what are everyone's most beloved books of the year so far?

the plot chickens (becomes scared of its own premise)

no way i just saw people in tiktok comments crying screaming throwing up at the idea of aslan being a jesus figure. worsties the lion literally dies to save edmund (the sinner) and then rises from the dead. he tells the pevensies he can be found under a different name in our world. what else could this have meant

A second 'Soldier Poet King' has hit the tiktok.

"dni if you engage with irredeemable media! dni to kill a mockingbird stans" ok well CLEARLY you have never read to kill a mockingbird if you think it's irredeemable media and also having a book that was published in 1960 on your dni stan list is kinda ridiculous actually

i literally do not think any of you have ever read a book published before the 2000s before in your entire life

#'Dni if you've read to kill a mockingbird' what's is this the Florida banned books list #Who r u Ron DeSantis

You really buried the lede by only mentioning To Kill a Mockingbird

it’s infuriating when the customer is wrong yes we all know this. however it’s probably 10000x worse when the customer is right, because what do you MEAN my coworker deleted 7 of your fucking accounts off of your profile when you just wanted to edit them and now I have to deal with it??? i can’t even be pissed that you’re being a bitch about it because i would be too!!! fuck!!!!

imagine being one of daniel molloy’s daughters and finding out the deadbeat asshole you hate bagged the hottest guy you have ever seen in your life. and on top of that, the gorgeous man is rich, which means he’s not going after that old man’s book money. you can’t even make fun of your dickhead dad for being a fool falling for a sugar baby scheme. worst of all that gorgeous interesting rich guy seems to genuinely be deeply in love with your horrible dad and you have never seen your fuckass dad look happier. i would be so fucking mad. no amount of therapy would cure the bitterness in my heart. the old bastard doesn’t deserve all that, is just not fair, what the fuck man

put yourself in the shoes of daniel's daughters. your shitty dad that you hate has just committed career suicide, going from winning two pulitzer prizes to publishing interview with the vampire as a work of nonfiction. thats bad enough. but now, from your point of view, hes larping as a vampire alongside a bunch of other guys who are themselves larping as the vampires FROM THE BOOK. and now hes posting videos with one of them with incestuous revenge porn. i think id mail him a bomb.

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such

Men who talk shit about gold diggers underestimate the grit it takes to put up with an insufferable man, even when money is involved. We should be thanking them for their service like they are veterans.

Armand really tried the sad sappy sincere doe eye confession technique with Daniel and it didn't work so he immediately pivoted to lets be evil, you be my companion in villainy and it immediately worked on him. Oh Daniel I love your evil ass.

I know we are all like "people in caveman times would drill holes in their head to relieve headaches" andwe go oh that's so stupid that's so dumb but like. then I get a headache and I'm like.ooooh I get it I get it. Grug prepare the drill.

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.
