You can always tell when an author is trying to “deconstruct” something that they think is stupid or boring or otherwise beneath them because they’re unwilling or unable to develop the necessary understanding of the source material to properly rip into it and the end result invariably fucking sucks. You need to love a genre in order to truly do it violence.
Adaptations, retellings, deconstructions… you always have to love the story first. If you feel contempt it will show, and make you lazy. Nobody fights as passionately as a lover.

This is honest to god one of the funniest things I think I have ever seen. The idea of giving a baby a theme party based on a local personal injury attorney is something i am so jealous of I dont know how to properly put it into words.
Also the fact that the lawyer didn’t come to the party somehow makes it even funnier.
this is the kind of content i came here for
he didnt come to the party because he sees the baby as a future opponent
what the fuck
I admit I don’t know how a child’s brain works but as an adult the greatest sign of respect I feel capable of giving a child is to act as if they are prophesized to destroy me when they come of age.
