Spoil Me

Huge thank-you to Michael for commissioning this episode, as well as for commissioning the voyeur episode of me watching live on Facebook live! This episode is BONKERS. We finally get more information on what happened to fuck poor Peter up so bad on the night that Mikkel disappeared, and it's even more tragic than I thought because this poor dude just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! This series of chapters is absolutely packed with different small mysteries pulling the reader in different directions. I'm really hoping that I start to get answers to some of these questions soon, because I'm starting to lose track. The most pressing issue, for me at least, is that Raymel Tacsis is possessed by something (or something...

Thank you to Abbey for commissioning this episode! Soooooo...funny story. Here's the thing. I got a little overexcited and I just...kept reading. So this one episode is actually going to cover 100 pages rather than the usual 50. MY BAD! I just was so INTERESTED. We start out in the well, with our crew heading under into the dark. It's not so bad at first, because we've got Lirael's light to see by...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning these episodes! This duo contains perhaps my very favorite episode of the series so far, which is all about life at the Gravity Falls public pool. There's so much to love about this, from Dipper's temporary new job, to Mabel's temporary new boyfriend, to Soos's determination to free the duck floats from slavery, to Stan's rivalry with Gideon for the b...

Many thanks to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode, and for introducing me to the whole series. It's been THA BEST! This finale episode made me cry and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I know that the relationship that the girls have with James has been fraught with bullying and whatnot, but also there's something more and I'm glad that the show has decided to address it. Also, there's something s...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! This was an interesting series of chapters because we jump ahead in time and get to see Nona a lot further on in her studies. And by "studies" I mean her ability to kick ass and take names. Unfortunately for her, when it's time for her to use a blade she decides to grab the same knife that she hid in blade storage after it was lodged in...

Thank you very much to Jacqui for commissioning this episode! Well this was a really weird one, but I liked it because of how much it focused on the overall bus plotline, which is the thing that I'm absolutely stymied by every time I try to piece things together. Turns out that Kendall and the Fitzpatricks might have been in bed together (heh) this whole time, and possibly were in cahoots to take...

Thank you to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm really flummoxed by the way this fight goes down. There's not the big climax that I expected, and instead of really being in the middle of things from the perspective of someone actually fighting, we instead look on from the sidelines while Tessia stays out of the way and Hanara pees his pants. Weird choices. Then there is the seemingly imp...

Enormous thanks to Jill for commissioning this episode. I'm absolutely floored by the events of this episode. I had no idea that Ulrich could get arrested. I assumed that he would attempt his little child-murder, and then dance his way back into 2019, and then we'd have to deal with him realizing that Helge is still alive and the fallout from that. Instead we're getting this bonkers replay of him...

Thank you to Karyn for commissioning this episode! Wow. So this one was pretty fucking intense, huh? Being abducted is one of my worst fears, and I'm sure a lot of women can understand that fear. But in this case, the gang is experiencing something much worse than a run-of-the-mill abduction and hostage situation. They've been snapped up by a professional, and are being kept in a facility that see...

First of all, huge thanks to Michael for commissioning this episode. I AM NOT READY FOR THIS SHOW. Like, as a whole, in general, I am growing more and more aware of how deeply unprepared I am for these writers and their bonkers ideas. There is a ton going on in this episode, but the main event for me at least is that fucking Ulrich is out here going back in time and then jumping to some HUGE concl...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! Y'all, I am so sad that there's only one left after this. Shit, what am I supposed to do?! This episode, there's a new student named Mae from a strange and distant land (Ireland also lmao), and all the girls in school are trying to be her friend. She's fully aware that being Asian is the big draw, and intends to make the most of it, f...

Thank you very much to Martin for commissioning this episode! The last episode of coverage was when the book really seemed to get cooking, and we can see the influence of some of those revelations in these chapters. It turns out that the almighty prophecy may not be anything like what everyone has believed. Far from originating hundreds upon hundreds of years ago, it apparently was made much more...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I loved this episode so fucking much. Oh my god. We start out at a wedding, and there's a confrontation between Mary, Sarah, and their Auntie Bridie that ends in Bridie keeling over dead in the middle of a damn group dance. We move on from there to the funeral, in which the girls (and James) desperately try to collect all of the pot s...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! In these chapters of The Magician's Apprentice, shit is really starting to reach a boiling point in Kylaria. There is a whole other crew of Sachakans closing in from another direction because the Emperor is pretty much planning to take over the invasion and take credit for it. I am interested to see how Takado copes with this. Meanwhi...

Thank you so much to Martin for commissioning this episode! These chapters are INTENSE AF, Y'ALL. First of all, we get that shitbag High Priest rolling into town and demanding that Nona be executed and Abbess Glass be thrown out of the church (oh yeah, and that her tongue be split in two). Ugh. The archons whom he has brought with him are meant to vote in favor of his own rulings in a show of supp...

Thanks so very much to Denise for commissioning this episode! I can't believe I'm on the last book of the series. I'm dying to know how things end up, but I'm also going to be really heartbroken to say goodbye to these characters. This book begins almost exactly where the previous one left off. Essun is still passed out from her efforts, and Nassun is literally still standing over her father's bod...

Thank you so much to Melanie for commissioning this episode! I'm so delighted to get back to Mabel and Dipper, and I'm really surprised at how much I missed them. These episodes deal with Mabel's conviction that you can be super nice and still be a good boss, and she's slowly proven wrong as she continues to give inches, and then feet. Pretty soon she's doing everything herself, and she's pretty d...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! So this episode was kind of amazing because I found out DURING the recording that the whole thing with the escaped polar bear actually happened. This is what Mary latches onto to keep her girls from going to the Take That concert, and they rebel by "lying their holes off". What follows is a series of unfortunate events that culminate in...

Thank you so much to Abbey for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited to be starting this book, because damn but it starts out with a serious fucking gut punch. Sabriel and Touchstone are killed, abruptly and brutally, in a prologue that's just kind of a shock and which I had to reread to be sure that I wasn't misreading. Because GODDAMN. Then there's the tension of what's going on with Lirael...

This is the last episode of Obelisk Gate is here, thanks to Denise, who is wonderful and I thank her so much. The way this book ends is really something, lord almighty. We find out exactly what it was that Alabaster was talking about when he told Essun that she had to work on creating a "network". Initially, when she's tapping into the power of the other orogenes, she thinks that's what he must ha...

Thank you to Abbey for commissioning this entire book! I can't believe this one is the last episode of the whole of Lirael, and I'm sitting here absolutely dying to find out what the hell is going to happen to Poor Nicholas (that's his official name now) whom I suspect is just kind of being eaten alive from the inside by a dark force. Fucking Hedge. I hate you. Meanwhile, Lirael has found out that...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! Oh my god, y'all, can I tell you how much I want to know Sister Michael in real life. Y'all have no idea how much I need her no-nonsense attitude in my life. And even though she's a fan of hideous religious art, I still can't hold that against her. I loved that this episode was finding out that someone was talking complete shite the who...

Thank you forever to Ashleigh for commissioning this magnificent show. I love it so much and I am gutted that there's only 6 episodes per season. This start of the new season is strong, and begins with all of our faves getting ready for a retreat they're about to go on with a bunch of protestant boys. It's insane to me that this is allowed, but there it is. And it goes about as well as you'd expec...

Thank you again so much to Jill for spearheading the coverage of Dark, I can't thank you enough for getting me into this mind-bending show. This episode, we follow Jonas around as he tries to get a handle on what is going on in 1986, and he's doing fairly well staying calm...until the time comes when he has to lie. Then, not so much. He runs into the strange man, which I continue to maintain is Jo...
