Guillermo, I want to peel the layers of your head like an orange and look at each segment of your brain. Watching that tender scene with the apples and horse apologies, from the shower?!
Another excellent chapter, just as I fully expected. There are so many lines that I could quote here that made me bark with laughter. We still have not hit a single joke that hasn't landed. I'm feeling much like Nandor right now, where I see you (my Dream Team) playing in the 1992 Olympics (the 2023 Valentine's Exchange) and must swear an unholy allegiance with your nation (inbox). I already know I'm on the winning team!
Here are some of the draft picks / heavy hitters (I don't know sports metaphors): [It’s what a cat might look like if they had the capacity to feel guilt; an air of superiority, but with added shame for flavor.] So good so good so good. This is one of many metaphors that I am just slurping like spaghetti. Yum yum yum figurative language, my favorite.
[Nandor’s off having his corn ground tonight] I am BITING YOU please that's the worst fucking euphemism I've ever heard (affectionate)
[“It’s true. Jinesh is a Yelp influencer now,” Marwa says. “He’s written nearly as many reviews as The Guide.”] First of all, I adore how you adapted the Djinn's name. Second of all, this is soooo sweet and such a small detail that says so much about a character? Crowdfunding for you to write the prequel where he embarks on an epic journey to be a Yelp influencer. Third of all, I love the additional Guide lore.
[toward the man attempting to unwedge his mammoth-sized body from the cramped vehicle with all the grace of a Sasquatch exiting a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe.] I have the Guinness World Records on the line for you? Yeah, they want your address so they can mail out the "Funniest Description Ever" award... I know, I know, I told them your trophy room is getting full, but please, they have to send this trophy out somewhere. It's a formality.
[looking a bit like a divorcee in a cardigan on a windy day.] Dead. Please bury me out in the field underneath that open, gorgeous sky.
[ Something in Guillermo’s hindbrain perks up to see that huge hand easily cradle two plump apples at the same time, but he banishes the thought before it can sink its feral claws into him.] >:)
I can't quote the whole thing because I need to get to chapter 3, but I just need you to know that their fight was so wonderful and infuriating and hilarious. There is sooo much history there. I'm prying that open with a crowbar, just itching to get in there.
