ok a quick break from boguś posting i need a palate cleanser

I said cocona was a woman who shaved her head 'cause she was a woman who shaved her head.

he came out like a few days ago, so I don't stand corrected.

the problem is me? I think the problem is the random awful people who say this "I've never listened or cared about their music, but now I'm fan because cocona is a transman"

those comments are disrespectful, those so called new fans are fetizing cocona, don't give a fuck 'bout their music.

if you call me out for calling them aliens it means you know shit 'bout their music.

dear new fake fans, their damn concept is aliens who come to earth, most songs and music videos are them traveling from outer space to planet earth.

I'm proud of listening to their music before the coming out, it means I like their music and talent for real instead of fetizing their personal lives.

I love The Darkest Minds so fucking much. It's about found family. It's about trust and friendship. AND IT CREATES SOME OF THE BEST CHARACTERS I'VE EVER READ.

So obviously the setting. I like how much effort Alexandra Bracken puts into designing a world that I could definately foresee myself in a couple of years, especially with the rise of GMO food (agent ambrosia) and how it dives deeper into corruption and how a government works being that it never truly will care about it's people unlike many other dystopians I've read. I hated Shatter me (sue me, sure.) despite how similar it is to TDM because I didn't get a strong grasp of character and setting and it was mostly romance rather than an exploration of setting and our world.

Moving forward I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! They're realistic and lovable and flaw...ful? Whatever. The characters have a realistic representation of trauma in all its forms, and many of the characters have real feelings and you can really understand and love them. In many YA books I feel like the main hero doesn't really have much personality, but seeing the world from Ruby's eyes is a breath of fresh air. She's not bratty, but she's not perfect either which are the two swings in YA. She constantly feels guilt, and feels real just like if you and I were in the book together, we'd understand what Ruby is going through. And Liam who on the surface is the perfect dude but really, he's trying to deal with his trauma and guilt while simultaneously trying to keep an unhealthy, perfect facade to keep the rest of the group motivated. He has to live with the guilt of Caledonia and Cole as well as the childrens league and he learns to stop putting out a facade and just truly process his emotions. And Chubsie? My stubborn arrogant loveable grumpy bean. He's stuck with Zu and Liam for ages and now theres a total newcomer who may or may not be a threat. How would he feel? He learns to adapt and becomes bestiessss with Ruby which is extremely wholesome. And Zu. She's so sassy, and amazing, and a queen and yet she's also dealing with trauma by voluntarily going into silence because she doesn't have words to deal with her pain. She learns to speak up and become a force for good. I'd go into Vida, but I don't think I have enough time.

-Ruby has a thing for mugs. At haven she has a cupboard absolutely full to the brim of them and everytime Liam or one of the kids goes to open it, its like a fucking game of jenga trying to keep them all balanced so they dont fall out

-Chubs and Vida practice the fine art of scrabble every Wednesday night. Chubs is the only one that plays properly though because Vida makes words up on the spot and tries to convince Chubs that they're real. So now, as they play he sits with a dictionary on his lap for when he needs to prove her wrong. She'll put down a letter and all you hear is the furious flicking of pages from across the table.

-Nico destroys everyone at mario kart and he does it with a completely straight face. Not once has Liam ever beat him but he still hasn't given up. Sometimes they even get small crowds of kids observing as Liam gets his ass handed to him every damn time. But of course to preserve his dignity he tells everyone he lets nico win out of the kindness of his heart.

-Roman takes incredibly hot showers. So whenever Zu or Priya go to use the shower after him they have to turn the dial allll the way down otherwise they get absolutely scorched. But sometimes, really early in the morning Zu decides to wash her hair but because her mind is still foggy from sleep she'll forget roman was the last to use the shower. So instead of a nice, refreshing morning shower, the firey pits of hell rain down upon her.

-After all the kids move out Cate adopts a small tabby cat to keep her company. However Vida is allergic to both dogs and cats so whenever she goes to visit she returns home sneezing with puffy eyes. And then she has to immediately throw her clothes from the day into the wash because cat hair gets everywhere and WILL spread around her home if she doesn't put her hoodie in the washing machine the second she steps into the door.

-Zu wanted to give meditation a try because lets be honest she needs to destress. She asks Roman and Priya to try it out with her because she feels weird doing it alone but turns out that was a massive mistake. Roman thinks it'll be a good idea to play relaxing music but Zu and Priya, for whatever reason, start pissing themselves with laughter the moment it starts. So romans sitting there actually trying to meditate whilst trying his best to ignore the dying sounds of his girlfriend and best friend behind him.

For the sake of my sanity let’s pretend that most things are similar to the series (the infection, the powers, the camps, the shitty government, etc.)

HOWEVER!! Instead of escaping cross country, it’s everyone living out at sea and on island nations

Kinda just imagine the US as being a series of islands and large land forms

Ruby comes from a quiet seaside town when the Psi infection sweeps the nation, wiping out most of the kids

Our lovely Ruby ends up wiping her parents memories and is sailed to Thurmond, an absolute behemoth of a man made island, originally created to house criminals, but the government thought this was a more pressing matter

Cate escapes with Ruby and M (can’t even say his name, yuck) via rowboat and a whole lot of determination

Ruby does not stick around long and hits the ground running first chance she gets, AKA them docking at a nearby island where she runs into, you guessed it, Zu

Zu runs, Ruby runs after her

All else happens the same, and they hit the road with an unknowing Liam and Chubs
