Dear Dad,

I am finally going to the after life and Charon’s ferry moves so fast that my heart doesn’t have the time to leap out of my chest and into the ocean below me. No one told me the flight would be so lonely. I have not been alone since the moment I was born. I cannot wait to see you again.

IM SORRY FOR THE WAIT 😫😫😫

THE SLUT STRAND

EDDIE DIAZ

I want Josh to get a boyfriend and I don’t want to be there for it.

I want it to be like a background thing we get to hear about through break room conversations with Maddie. I want them to have met completely normally— like maybe they struck up a conversation in a really long cafe line.

Maybe they have a fight or something and Josh goes into work and they have a tough day at dispatch where he does what he always does and is the voice of calm and reason for everyone else and then goes home and even though they had been fighting he still gets to lean on his boyfriend.

And I want Sue to notice he doing well and to hug him and say she’s HAPPY for him.

I just want the background character who supports everyone to be HAPPY AND SUPPORTED.

Let’s put aside Buddie for a second…

Guys what do you want from season 9? Because I’ve got one thing I really want and I’d like someone to ask please.

For the character portraits series (which I absolutely adore btw) maybe BJ? I’d have to think of some other iconic BJ moments but the “whatever you want” line about his name is a potential one that comes to mind.

Thank you!!! I’ve been really enjoying making these. BJ’s apathy towards his name is so funny any definitely on my list for him is “what say you, ferret face”

I think that settles it. BJ next

I’m a contestant in the first ever season of “College Cooking,” a culinary show in which university students battle it out in front of top chefs using only the combined ingredients and materials found in their kitchens. I approach the judges with my first dish— the prompt was simple. An easy, nutritious dinner that can be packaged and brought to school for lunch the next day.

I am too old for pity. There will be no mercy tonight.

“As you can see,” I say, presenting a pot fresh off the stove, “I’ve made a basic chicken soup. Because I haven’t been taking my iron pills, I’ve included as many vegetables as I could get my hands on.” I set the pot down on the table and hand out spoons.

“It’s essentially your typical chicken noodle soup, but I’ve added my own personal twist.” All the judges look up to meet my eyes and it takes a moment for me to realize that they’re waiting for me to explain. “Well, you see, it’s a fun little soup tradition I have, where I don’t actually know how much broth to add. If you turn your attention to the dish, you’ll see that it’s not really SOUP soup as much as it’s soggy soup ingredients. I think it adds a novel element. I hope you enjoy.”

Then I turn around and walk straight off the set.

I JUST FINISHED THE WINNERS AND THERE WILL BE MINOR SPOILERS

when I say just I mean like 15 minutes ago— There are still dry tears on my face.

The way Mr Backman spoils the book for us over and over is flawless at giving individuality to the story as a narrative, giving it its own voice, but it’s also a top notch literary device to cultivate plot twists. I was so preoccupied with him telling us—from the beginning—who was going to die that the things that Bang the dog, Mumble’s ending, and all the other little tragedies we watched happen took shocked me to my core

On the subject of the compassion and hopefulness— I can’t even begin to put into words how I feel about the “Time travel can’t be real” lines and the lines written on all the different tombstones in the story, or Alicia’s story

Cannot deal with how the story of Beartown knows itself inside and out and how it tells itself so nonchalantly, spoiling things left and right, and killing our notions of a happy ending before we even get the stupid idea to hope.

"She won't succeed." "It won't be enough." "He will be too late."

But what gets me is how the story also so obviously cares. Cares about the people, about the events that went down, and it knows that the outcome can't be changed but it wishes so damn hard it could be.

"Obviously we still hoped. Dear god, how we hoped." "The people in this town who loved him. There were so many of us."

It's not them, it's us. Almost like the town itself is telling it. Fredrik Backman I am in your walls.
