ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ

ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ

ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm not even sure what to say!!! other than it lit my brain up lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i love a rambling introspective narrative (anyone who has rped with me knows.....................)
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
SPOOKY
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
this understood me on a body horror level
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
this character!!! no one has names it's insane that's amazing
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i am still wondering why like that is such a choice
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
This is EXACTLY the experience
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
The same thing happened to me when I read it the first time
𝕘𝕒𝕤💡 🚧𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡 👧𝕕𝕒𝕕
GOD YEAH have you seen the movie
𝕘𝕒𝕤💡 🚧𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡 👧𝕕𝕒𝕕
Straight up rewired my brain
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i have not seen the movie but i want to see the movie
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
I’m so glad you loved it!
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅. : you did post a very compelling recommendation that time lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i have been told that the next book is a little weird but trust the process lmao
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
It’ll also have been me who said the next book is a little weird lmao, but the third one wrecked me to the point I couldn’t finish it (positive)
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
I need to go back to it
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
PROMISING
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
The movie is a great adaptation of the first book - people were kicking off when it came out because it’s quite different but imo the changes were v appropriate, especially since they made it a single story rather than a trilogy of films
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i finished a dance with dragons earlier today because i was like
i need to start reading something new
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i love asoiaf but i did the entire series all in a row which took me a LONG TIME
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
and actually the last uhhh 40% of that was good IT WAS JUST REALLY LONG
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
so it was kind of nice to not have to read something 1100 pages long
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
OH IT'S ALEX GARLAND
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
PROMISING x2
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i only recently learned that this man is attached to a significant number of movies i like very much
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
tomorrow's dinner movie
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
it is 2:30 and i am Awake and poking at my inbox but also keep remembering little details that were mentioned in passing that i will continue to think about
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like how when they went past the lighthouse it took them seven days to go that far but only four days to get back
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the rule where you're not allowed to bring advanced technology in there
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
the door that is wrong and horrible that she couldn't get closer to
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
but i will also say this reminded me very much of another book series that i read before and am now tempted to reread
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
in that it also had like an encroaching sort of trippy alien landscape that transforms anyone and anything that goes inside it and redefines what it means to be human etc etc
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
Drop this other series name please
ANTI-HERO.
goddamn i need to READ THIS ffs i've been procrastinating so hard but i adore... annihilation...
ANTI-HERO.
(the movie)
ANTI-HERO.
so i feel like i'd fucking love the books
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
ANTI-HERO. : I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY IT FROOT
ANTI-HERO.
I TRUST YOUR TASTE IN EVERYTHING WITH MY LIFE

sometimes it shows up as evolution's shore but i think that's the US title
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i'm always like ahhhh when i suggest anything to anyone because i'm always like "unsure if this is actually good or if i developed a weird hyperfixation on it"
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
literally a book i found at a thrift store once lmao
because my mom would let me do like the 10 books for $5 deal and i would just pick up shit with interesting covers
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i read a lot of questionable medical horror mysteries
𝕘𝕒𝕤💡 🚧𝕜𝕖𝕖𝕡 👧𝕕𝕒𝕕
UGH MIN THE MOVIE IS SO GOOD I saw it in theaters and it was such a good watch I highly recommend
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
so
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i am about 60% through the second book and really enjoying it lmao
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i described control earlier as "negative space" because he's defined by all the characters around him the writing style is just so neat and the way the characters unfold does stuff to my brain
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
GOOD I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’m now even more inspired to try the second one again
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅. : lmao yeah i think it is perfect to follow up the first book so far
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like i get the criticism that it feels weird and different from the first one
and also that control can be dull lol
but i like that contrast
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
I remember feeling like the breaks had been slammed on SO suddenly and it was all for the most boring man in existence - but it's been 10+ years and I'm excited to read it as like ... a different person lmao
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
I fully believe 20 year olds know nothing
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
i like this weird little cast of characters and the juxtaposition of this extremely mundane underfunded government entity with area x and the horror that is created just by those things existing next to each other constantly lol
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
Rubs hands together
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
like area x is extremely, viscerally real for all of them and the government keeps cutting their budget lol
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
I bet I wasn't even registering that at all - I'll have been wanting the fast-paced horror hit of the first one, not getting it, and having a tantrum about it
𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒅.
Fortunately now I've experienced the horrors of working in an underfunded place while the horrors persist outside (customer service lmfao) so I'm certain I'll find it more engaging
ᴛʜᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ᴡʏʀᴍ
lmao yeah i believe that 100% i would have felt different at 20 but now i know the horrors of capitalism and office jobs
