“[The writing style] lent the book an unsettling feeling that wasn’t overwhelming but still put me on the suspicious side the entire time. The short chapters also kept convincing me to continue, to read just one more chapter. Just one more. Or three.”

“I’m dying.”
His tone was matter-of-fact and his expression perfectly serious, but Karys had the feeling he might be making fun of her—exaggerating, or telling a strange sort of joke at her expense. Her mistrust mounted as she scrutinised his face.
“You talk a lot for a dying man,” she said.

Did I go into #TheTerror fully knowing they’d probably all be dying off horribly?
Yes, of course, it was in the premise.
Was I still unprepared for the emotions? Also yes.
Why did nobody warn me abt Jopson though💔

Finished my binge watch of The Mentalist yesterday and I’m in shambles?
I was not expecting to get this attached to this show nor how much of a comfort it would be.
The writing was excellent throughout and the ending was perfect instead of tired and needing to be wrapped up?
The hangover is real😭

The epilogue of #TheBookOfSpores was always meant to embody #TheLine by #TwentyOnePilots as a lot of its visuals & themes were directly inspired by both the song itself & the scene it was written for in Arcane.
