Trashedlight

We took an unplanned summer break in July, but we are back! Apologies for the delays! 

Tris is still fully insane, in case anyone was wondering.

Everyone is sketchy and confusing in this chapter.

There's some better writing and storytelling in here! Should we get optimistic?   Folger's incest commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMwFWDIFVCU

We learn so much more about how Amity rules (and a few ways in which maybe they drool...)

New book, same us, same b****y Tris! 

Interlude time! We talk all the normal stuff but about a property we actually like.

This was the most sober we've sounded on a drunk episode - we must be getting older.   The Michelle Wolf bit we talked about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcyPVW5WrFI The interview with Veronica Roth we quoted: https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/10-questions-with-veronica-roth-author-of-the-divergent-trilogy-part-2-elizabeth-baird-hardys-questions/

We made it!!! Chapter 38 is about four pages long and mostly contains said character so we've lumped it with the final chapter of the book.  Tune in to see how Veronica Roth wraps it all up and how we think it ends!

This should be the climax of this story! It's deeply disappointing! 

We get re-introduced to Tris's dad and brother in a bunker and who else could be there but Marcus!  Tris makes some mental leaps that are too big for her and we discuss ~Identity~

It's almost like reading Stephanie Meyer again for the worst reason (women who want to die)!

In which we discuss bodies, villains, and how Rebecca and Colleen could very easily destabilize a regime?

And the second after we learn of the twist the plot pops off!  We compliment Veronica Roth on her pacing, we once again get lost in the IMDB page of the Divergent movie, and we go on lots and lots of tangents.

Plot is happening! Teenagers are happening! 

I apologize to Christians everywhere for saying Jesus only spent 30 days in the desert. It's 40. Excommunicate me.

This one's beefy, ladies, theydies, and gentlemen.  Buckle up for the next act to kick off and for five million things to happen in one chapter in order for that to happen! This club has everything - cult talk, dtr, jokes at Four's expense, inconsistent characterization of Tris and so much more.

Both of these chapters are...4 pages long. We swear. 

We ~learn things~ about Four (that we already knew); what a ~mysterious and sexy man~

tw: suicide and suicidal ideation for the entirety of the episode In this chapter we talk about Al, his incredibly fucked up memorial service and we touch on our favorite topic - cults.  We also talk about how Colleen's dad invented a boyfriend for her whole-cloth over Christmas so it's not all doom and gloom.

Happy New Year! You still can't beat up or hit on your students! 

Should you fear God? Should you have a name? Should you talk to adults? 

This one is TOO LONG. TOO MANY THINGS. WHO ARE YOU STEPHANIE MEYER.   CW for the last 10 minutes: physical and sexual assault

Thank you for your patience with our getting this episode up a day late - we battled end of year stresses and a migraine to bring you this delightful entertainment today!\ In this episode we finally get more (but not better) information about being ~Divergent~ from both Four and Tori!  We also have more information about how deep the cult programming in this compound runs!  We get introduced to an...

Why are teenagers terrible at handling each other? We simply don't know. Article referenced: https://clickhole.com/heartbreaking-the-worst-person-you-know-just-made-a-gr-1825121606/
