Annihilation Was Such An Experience. The Book Was Beautiful In The Most Powerful Meaning Of That Word.

Annihilation was such an experience. the book was beautiful in the most powerful meaning of that word. It was beautiful.

It was so unnerving too. I have a fear of body horror as well as mold/fungus/sprouting/growth unease, i cant stand being near a fuzzy fruiting body. It icks me, and yet it was so worth it to endure for the book. It was so well crafted, it was such an amazing experience. I think it was the deepest way a piece of literature has touched me yet. Its a love letter to nature with an apology of how we ruined it embedded in it’s center.

The movie was awesome but the book is so so much better. Its everything you could possibly want. I cried when i finished it because i knew that i would never be able to experience it for the first time again (of course if i werent to sustain some concerning brain damage but still tho just how hard do u have to knock me over the head to knock this piece of work that rewired my soul out my being?? I think ever if i were to loose all recollection of reading the book there would still be pathways that my neurons formed around it, id still know a part of it somehow. u would have go thru some real sci fi shit to remove all the growth my cells have gone through after finishing consuming such a media) . Its just shmactaculous, truly honestly surreal

I wanna talk and talk about this and im stooped that theres such a small following around this!! like kumon theres a bigger fandom for my immortal and not this jaw dropping-knee buckling-mouthwatering-brain altering-heart smackening piece of work??! please if youre even a smidge bit interested go check out Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

(either the movie or the book, cause if theres any intent the movie will become a highway to the book trilogy (absolutely not speaking from experience))

Also if you could i actively suggest avoiding the movie before reading the first book, theres a few spoils and it sets your mind to where you think the story will go and it will ruin a lot of the craftsmanship which goes into the setting and creating the story, plus the movie has like 20% of the content the book has, its very watered down and as good as it is it can never compare to the book

Glad i find out the day after

Greetings! :)

This is a place for me to spew out my little thoughts like smoke from a rampant wildfire but in a neater way

My page may include the following (tw)

Discussions of horror, sci-fi, war, ongoing conflict

Swearing (im sorry i try)

Ceaselessly elaborate and longwinded explanations with peculiar words included for no other reason than to make me sound smart and pleasing

Nature, animals, mammals, insects, weather stuff like that

Me being bad at tumblr

See you soon genital men, women and gentlefolk 🫶

Nature has its laws that we cant just overthrow because we feel bad fir the animals

But yk who we can overthrow

Parasites

Banish that shit to the underworld

Every few months twitterinas bring back the “carnivores are a problematic element of nature and we should feed them synthetic meat and make it so they don’t eat herbivores. this is completely normal, feasible and won’t have any kind of repercussion on the ecosystem” discourse

I made my good friend a little crochet cow and while driving to give her the gift i saw a little caterpillar sitting on the ear of the cow

It did a little swirl

My friend has a new neighbor now! :D
