i have a needling curiosity about mcelroy fans. i myself am a mcelroy fan and while of course i love them all and saying that i have a fave would be an absolute crime when i was first introduced i sort of, idk… clicked with justin first? as in his humour was the closest to mine and i Got it most quickly, while that happened later with griffin and travis. my brother, however, clicked with griffin first. i am the oldest, he is the youngest. now, that is a very small sample size but i have a hypothesis that the mcelroy brother a fan clicks with first tends to be the one that shares said fan’s position in sibling order (also my friend who is an only child clicked with travis first so i want to know if that’s a pattern too)… idk folks i’m desperate to know so i guess reply to/reblog this with your experience to satisfy my curiosity?

an early 2000s YA novel funny moment: stephanie meyer writing a sci fi novel about sapient little wormy parasite aliens taking over the world by controlling the bodies of their hosts and one of the parasites grappling with the memories and consciousness of its human host, which sounds surprisingly promising until you read it and understand that despite everything stephanie meyer is still mormon

this post is literally holding a shaking gun to my head. but i absolutely need to hear more, please continue

nothing particularly striking like twilights weird abstinence themes, the disappointment is more in how unremarkable it is. the basic concept is a really strange and interesting scenario and then you actually read it and its just really boring boneless YA dystopia that somehow manages to feel exactly like twilight and ends with the alien parasite brainworm het dating

also they say that there were giant spiders but “whoops all the giant spiders died flying to earth, sorry :)”

i honestly thought i had no expectations low enough for meyers to disappoint, and yet here we stand
