posting a million progress updates today because Ethic II is gagging me 😨 omggg

😨😨😨

"the sun burned orange in the sky as it began its descent in the distance. the tranquility of the upscale neighborhood was the perfect stage, it was a lovely night to die." 💀💀💀 afhahfakjhdfkjahfka please

cringing so bad reading this studio dance scene idky lolol

"he said it so casually, as if he were talking about the weather. it was 70 degrees with a 100% chance of murder" skajsdhfadshfjashdfjhasdfhskj good mf bye 💀

"this wasn't the Cream she knew but still she didn't blame him, didn't judge him." WHY TF NOT?! KILL THIS MF, OH NAW

if I was Morgan, I’d be crying, screaming & throwing up atp because WHO tf is LC really? gimme back my body you dirty, sheisty bih 😩

"I know you're knocking little Morgan down" 🤢🤢🤢 the word little has me gagging, yuck

Erzulie mentioned! ☝🏽 her riding the FMCs, influencing their progression, going back & forth in spirit & time & Bahni Turpin’s Haitian accent > OKAY?? my attention is grasped a bit more!… I won’t say I’m enjoying the story yet though… it’s something

Alani in this bathroom with these scissors......... I'm going to SCREAM at the circulation desk... this is starting off so intense, omg. I already KNOW I'm bouta go through it smh

would you give your blood as sacrifice to a river of blood in the Catacombs of Paris to have all your dreams come true?... 🫣 ballet + spooky ooky things gives Suspiria a bit, but I'm enjoying this so far!

& they’re starting off with my namesake ballet Giselle 🩰 I’m into ittt

starting as an audiobook 🎧 & the author’s note has me in my feels already. yesss, let Black girls express their anger

🧐🧐🧐 LC, tf you got goin on?!

"her inexperience intrigued Messiah" ...🤨 I bet it does! Messiah is too grown for Morgan, idc

& it just got worse… cuz why the motherfuck are you eating dried umbilical cord from a dead baby to get some love out of it?… I’m starting to hate this story cuz why is it so NASTY?! for what?!

this book is so gross constantly mentioning salt, stank coochie, piss, birthing fluids, blood & now genital mutilation?… all this has been in cultural/ historical context, but DAMN 😒 it’s disturbing

IDKY I thought this was gonna be anything but EMO when I went into it already familiar w/ Jeanne Duval’s life & death from syphilis in a mental hospital 💀… the other FMCs include an enslaved healer on a sugarcane plantation in Saint Domingue & a Nubian-Greek prostitute in like 300 BC… like girl, DUH!

Noah + Greyson might be better than True with either of them 👀

Greyson is lowkey annoying. I know he's struggling with other things, but I just can't with him... it's them damn suspenders

lots of bodily fluids being mentioned… kinda nasty 🤢… still intrigued with the characters. tragic undertones, this story might do me in… the audio eats. I’m loving Bahni Turpin’s Creole & French-accented English

starting audiobook! 🎧 the RANGE Bahni Turpin has. she's SO GOOD!
this has sooo many elements and characters I love. I hope it delivers 🤞🏽

intense & nasty. I kinda feel like I’m missing something, but it’s just short

I really like the FMC, True. she's defiant & bold buttt, I kinda can't with the one of the MMC, Greyson... he wears suspenders on the regular? he's a classic man, BYE. I'm sorry my brain imagines Steve Urkel

I’m more a fan of instalove than “I like him & I want him but I’m too afraid to take it there” …I know the beat has to build but gah damn, get to fuckin already

"God, this man is energy, she prayed. Please, help him let me in." Alani... Miss ma'am, you sure bout that??

omfg Morgan 😣😭

committed to finishing this today 🤞🏽Florian... Jacquotte... I wish I could say I could see how this will end, but idk who will come out on top. I'm nervousss

finally starting this series. keep me lifted in prayer

WE BACK IN BLISS PEAK, IT’S UPPP 😩
