I really love snowy woods-blood red sky encroaching dawn- creature lurking in the dark-dreamcatcher-wendigo/child/phantom-howls in the night,type literature. I've spent some time in an isolated setting like this one, and I was not disappointed in my own person connections colliding with this one. I had jumps reading it in the light of day hearing the occasional bumps and scratchings in my own house.

I was hooked from the beginning, though it does start to wane in the third act. The epilogue could've been less literal, truncated to have more power perhaps.

Blackwell writes with an economy of language, relying on action, with just enough set-up to carry you through. It's engrossing, though you could argue that a better writer might instill more descriptions into the shadows, making the terror and characters more pronounced.

Nothing beats the prologue though. Seriously. Unbelievable dread inducing prologue.

Do your worst!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Season Recap

Starting with arguably our most exciting draft challenge yet, Trusting Tuna to not rig the draft order, culminated in the 1st overall pick being an Autodraft. Speaking of Autodraft this season was a perfect example of how autodraft can make your team amazing but also suck balls. Which is Ironic because My balls team was amazing with three legitimate top flight RB's as well as great complimentary WR's and a top 3 QB. while Seton had injury after injury after injury after under performer. Not to mention that of the 9 RB's drafted in the first round only Jonathan Taylor has been both consistent and healthy.

Brady Gives me a Chubb

Starting off the schedule with an L is usually not much of an indication of how your season will go as much as the randomness of the first week of the NFL. IF anything it shows that there's no where to go but UP! Dancing the fine line of rooting for your real team and your fantasy team Joy took loverboys Brady and Gronk and it worked out like Lamb and tuna fish. To the point where he was able to trade his "backup" Tight end Mark Andrews for a top flight WR in Diontae Johnson and soldiered on the rest of the season strong to finish 9-5. Not to say that there weren't bumps in the road when Gronk inevitably got hurt but the emergence of a legit talent in Jaylen Waddle and Najee harris gave Chubb a solid rookie one two punch. Sitting in the playoff hunt at 5-5 Chubb rattled off 4 straight victories including a week 14 top score to finish in 4th place facing off against the renewed spirit of Greenberg's White Lightning. In addition to making the playoffs for this two time champion he also maintained a level of integrity in not voting down a clearly good trade.

Covid is a Hoax

Having about as much success as you can imagine a current sacko to have BK started off this season about as successfully as an unvaccinated person trying to convince Zack that Joe Rogan makes some really solid points. Deciding to take back to back losses against Kyle and Joy instead of the vaccine that is Victory he finally relented and not only beat my balls but got $20 to show for it with a top score. A source close to Dr. Kennedy has said that he plans on using the $20 he has won to get an NFT of a PS5 as he's not allowed to actually have one. Clawing back to 500 by week 6 he had the playoffs in sight, but unfortunately two performances that against Commish and Big Brotha showed he wasn't quite ready yet and proceeded to finish t

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Joyce Price was a terrible mother and she did not deserve Max’s worship or the fandom’s adoration and she is as much fault as David for how Chloe turned out.

Joyce does not understand her own daughter’s grief nor hear Chloe as her daughter or a person dealing with the loss of their father.

Her first instinct was to bring a new man in their lives. Not be there for her daughter emotionally or mentally. Even something as small as going to Blackwell’s Guidance Counselor could’ve been enough. Joyce couldn’t even do the bare minimum. Instead she brought in someone who doesn’t understand, respect or care for what her daughter is going through.

Joyce might love Chloe, but she doesn’t know or understand what Chloe needed. I get that she has it rough and all but she just doesn’t see or hear Chloe. Even when I get Chloe to try and do her best in BTS.

I honestly blame Joyce for how Chloe turned out. Joyce shut down, met and fell in love with the absolute worst man in the world and chose her own interests over the well being of her own daughter. Joyce in BTS keeps forcing David on Chloe. Just give the girl some space and show her some love. That’s the most important thing she needs. She needs her mother to be a mom!

Joyce guilt tripping Chloe about how expensive Blackwell tuition is. First of all that is wildly inappropriate for any parent to discuss financial issues with their kid, they’re a child that’s an adult responsibility and it doesn’t help Chloe. It just makes her feel worse. Second Chloe also constantly complains about Blackwell and how much she hates it there, so the obvious answer is pull Chloe out of the expensive school and transfer for her to free affordable public school.

When Chloe gets expelled Joyce does nothing to get her into a new school. What the fuck?! What kind of mother let’s their teenage daughter become a high school dropout? That’s insane! Joyce should’ve immediately called all the local public schools and look for a start date so Chloe could go back immediately. Like okay as sweet as the love confession in the play was why did Joyce let Chloe leave the house? She even congratulates her when she’s banned from the school premises! That does nothing to help her, Joyce step in and be an actual fucking adult!

Why did Joyce never get Chloe a proper grief counselor? That’s the first thing any kid should get when they go through a sudden and immediate loss, a grief counselor would’ve done wonders for Chloe's mental health. If she couldn’t

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

Nothing, it just waved

Bob

Him: I can explain everything!

(It's his best joke yet I think)

So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
