Gabriel's Inferno makes me hedgehog hiss.

I'm reading Gabriel's Inferno for a sporking project with Zelda Queen, and AUUUUUUUUGH it's the worst fucking book I've read since Fifty Shades. Though I think they piss me off equally so far. But god, Julia is an idiot and the writing is Tell-Don't-Show and there's slut-shaming and it loves to tease you with things that are Actually Interesting before immediately diving back into wangsty abusive bullshit. I FUCKING HATE EMERSON HE'S CHRISTIAN GREY 2.0 GOD WHAT A TEMPERAMENTAL SCUMBAG DICK HOW THE FUCK DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB

That’s when he saw her. He stopped, staring across the street at the attractive brunette.

'Calamity Julianne.'

Except she was not alone. Paul was holding her abomination of a book bag and walking with her. They were chatting easily and laughing and strolling dangerously close to one another.

'Carrying her books now, are we? How very adolescent of you, Paul.'


Hear that? Everyday politeness = adolescence.

FUCK YOU EMERSON. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. *deep breaths* At least I only need to spork Chapter 16...

YES I MISS STEPHANIE AND MICHELLE AND PERCY

Yeah, really! The heroine of my crack!novel is a blonde, another novel has a brunette heroine with a blonde sister who's a great person despite being 11 and immature, and then we have Lissa from FE Awakening. And Usagi and Minako, Nanami...

...what the HELL. God, the story of the Velveteen Rabbit was that love is a fucking powerhouse for toys. The rabbit became real because the boy loved it so dearly, it wasn't a matter of "fixing" the rabbit.
