I Saw Your Other Thing So I Guess Should Ask-will I Like Gregor The Overlander If I Liked Suzanne Collin's

I saw your other thing so I guess should ask-will I like Gregor the Overlander if I liked Suzanne Collin's more famous later work (Hunger Games, if it wasn't obvious)? Are you a Hunger Games fan, idly, as well?

I actually read hunger games before I read Gregor The Overlander and loved it! And while I don’t think I’ll ever be involved in the fandom, Hunger games holds a special place in my heart. That said, I enjoyed Gregor the Overlander even more. It was well written with a interesting cast of characters and I’d recommend this book to pretty much anyone who likes fantasy/fiction. It’s also kind of similar to hunger games with a lot of fast paced battle scenes and an MC very close to his family. The only criticism I have is that the first book is a bit slow in the first couple chapters. But once you get passed the beginning the series is pretty fast paced.

So yes, if you enjoyed Hunger Games you’ll probably like Gregor the Overlander as well.

You know how sometimes books, movies, TV shows etc. are named after the main character? How do fandoms differentiate from posts about that specific character and posts within that fandom using it as a way to tag the fandom as a whole? Do you just have to wade through other things to find fanart and stuff for that character specifically? It seems so inconvenient.

Not super into Dear Evan Hansen but…

does anyone know the song Talk Good by Grace VanderWaal? Because it’s literally Evan. I would kill for that animatic.

⚠️Spoilers for the Be More Chill book!⚠️

so no one talks about this so I will.

it is canon that the entire Be More Chill book is a apology letter to Christine. Because in the book the SQUIP messed up and makes Jeremy do something stupid and ruins the play. And after the SQUIP suggests that Jeremy tell her the truth and Jeremy says that it would take a book to tell all of that and the SQUIP says “well I’ll write it for you.” And Jeremys like “how would you do that?” And the SQUIP goes “ I’ll have to take control of your body.” (This is the first time it’s mentioned he can do that) and Jeremy’s a bit reluctant but he agrees and then the SQUIP says he will shut itself down after writing the book and that’s how the book ends. And this ending explains a lot of strange stuff. There’s some meta humor in the beginning that feels out of place wear the SQUIP says Jeremy should curse to make him sound cool and then Jeremy does that but later he says “I don’t want Christine to read me cursing so much” and the SQUIPs like “good point” and the rest of the curses in the book are blanked out but they are regularly used.

man i'm so fucking glad they didn't go with the original title for Cell 25, which would have been Michael Vey and the Electric Cheerleader. I cringe just looking at that.

I had no idea that was considered! I’m so glad that didn’t become official that is the worst book title I could possibly think of and I couldn’t have that on my shelf.
