Status Updates From We Are the Ants

He’s an angry drunk that just beat the shit out of you. What do you mean you think he would’ve been a good dad? He told everyone that you were being abducted and your life has been terrible since? I’m so confused why is he acting like Charlie has nuance when he’s been nothing but a pos that had a moment of clarity bc he thought he was gonna be a dad

Have they grown at all? Why is this book so long

Don’t understand the the logic behind fatherhood making Charlie a better person, but making it so that Henry has to work on himself before he can be better because a relationship can’t fix him. What the hell is the author even trying to say anymore

Another sciencey dead-pan metaphor to explain Henry’s current state of life. Rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat every chapter

Turn every time the author mentions pee in this book into a drinking game and it might kill you. I think he has a piss kink or something

They have the same conversations every chapter just with different words. The author makes the same three points every chapter with different words and edgy metaphors

It’s like a gacha life video. Who trauma dumps to their situationship’s family over dinner on Christmas Eve. I think the author snuck into earth or has genuinely never met another human being

God it’s agonizing

I don’t think the author has ever worked in an Apple Store because ik Apple employees can’t do that. Plus how would he even know Henry was going to the Apple Store that day did he just like have photos saved on every model phone in the store just in case of the off chance Henry walked into to store?

Yes keep complaining about how worthless you are to people so the feel obligated to make you feel good about yourself while you go through attention seeker Olympics and the author wants us to empathize with you yes yes wonderful exactly yeah

If I took a shot for every-time the author repeated something he wrote in every chapter, specifically pertaining to Jesse, or repeat Henry’s stagnant character growth with the same ideas he’s been spouting since the first paragraph of the book I would be dead

Dude these shit metaphors and similes could actually kill someone

The tone in this stupid story shifts every three seconds. Rushing a sibling bonding arc in two pages over breaking a wall that is an in your face metaphor about why Henry’s problems are enough reason to end the world for everyone else wonderful wow amazing
