i wish this was 800 pages long.

phewwww this rocks. the art captures the atmosphere so well, i'm fixated on cindy being drawn genuinely youthfully, not like... she's 19, so she's the doe-eyed sexy bimbo of the group. makes the horror of her particular experience that much more impactful. grounded and chilling but friendship will always prevail yay Ɛ> 🎉

both really fun reads!! for me they moved at breakneck speed, but i'm just more into introspective slow-burn stuff -- whatever whatever. predictably was way more into kill your boyfriend which had me tearing up a little by the end, eep. perhaps hitting a little too close to home. crown jewels: all the vimanarama sketches at the end, immortal god-beast throwing back a molotov cocktail as if it were a shooter

something something loss of innocence something something not necessarily believing in a god more than believing in someone that will listen. oyasumi punpun, the creed of hopelessly lonely and fucked up children worldwide. coming of age but in the way that there's no future to grow into. 

finally done phew. it was driving me insane to have this in progress for so long, but also i liked knowing i could always take a break from whatever i was reading to hang out with the worst people i know. kinda piddles along after catherine dies, honestly. as an aside: ellen is the funniest character ever written. anyone in this book will voice the most poetic musing on obsession or love and she'll just be like, "shut up! you're a maniac! be normal!" which, to be fair to her, in most cases she was 100% right to do that.  overall, solidly alright.

gah so sweet. had me giggling heavy at my desk but then the last page   😀(weeping.) love the detail of the martians looking cat-like instead of humanoid that had me chuffed most of all

fun + light read from one of my fav artists :D nicely makes the horrible awful point of "there is no such thing as being a real artist/musician/whatever and there's no point in worrying about that! just do things!" which will only spur me to do evil things with my time

pretty speedy read, language was brutal and succinct which made the tone so deliciously apathetic. plot itself is lacking though :/

what's up with spanel. she seemed so much more important than just introducing marcos' destructive nature.

i don't know, i have problems with characters in this coming and going and making no impact, but maybe marcos is so self-centered that it makes sense no one was of any importance

except for the women he could mine a child from, whatever. there's something to be said about marcos putting real value into only his father and his unborn male child, never extending to the women he could get fulfillment from (cecelia and jasmine) it was good as a character study, but beats felt rushed at times and no one felt...whole. but i guess who has time for growth when there's capital to be pushing

great excerpts and well researched but not a lot to add to upon that. snzzzz oh sorry zzzzz wait hold on i'm up 🛌snooork mimimi sn
