Monique Snyman’s Hall of Horror: Werewolves, Witches, and Mothman, Oh My!

Monique Snyman’s Hall of Horror: Werewolves, Witches, and Mothman, Oh My!

I am proud to present a new segment on my website: Monique Snyman’s Hall of Horrors. 😊 Now, I bet you’re already wondering what I’m going on about this time. Well, sit back and get comfortable, because from this month onward, I’ll be curating a list of either upcoming or recently released horror books that you absolutely, positively need to read. I’ll also be telling you why these books should be…

Love how you shamelessly hate Aang—I mean this totally as a compliment by the way! I’m so tired of seeing “I ship Zutara but I LOOOOVE Aang he’s a cinnamon roll baby!!!” and “you can like Zutara and also like Aang” and “it’s the WRITING that’s bad not Aang!” takes…ugh. Please. He’s a cartoon character and I don’t like him. That isn’t a crime. He’s boring at best and an entitled borderline abusive little shit at worst. I don’t like him! It’s so refreshing to read your blog, I don’t understand this fandom’s obsession with acting like he’s a real child we have to coddle

I don't understand it either. Then again, I will go to the mat to defend some pretty controversial characters, so who am I to judge (justice for Mr. Collins!) ? I don't mind that other people like him -some of my favorite people in the fandom like him- as long as they don't come after me for not liking him.

But yeah, the defense of him boiling down to "bad writing" always felt off. To me, bad writing is when the character suddenly takes actions that seem to come out of nowhere. Aang's actions in the back half of ATLA and into the comics and LoK track. They track very well with who he was even in the first season. Yes, he got worse as the series progressed, but the seeds were always there. I guess, if you want to make an argument for it being bad writing, you could talk about how his bad traits in the first half seemed to be setting up a growth arc that was abandoned in the second half. There's an argument to be made there, but it's not an argument that Aang's worst traits were OOC for him. I am not shocked at the kind of family Aang ended up having. I'm not shocked at how Kataang the couple turned out. I'm only shocked that Bryke managed to be that honest about Aang without realizing how awful he was.

The saddest thing about Natasha and Maria dying is that Natasha died before Maria could send her the MUNA and Phoebe Bridgers hit song Silk Chiffon like "this you? 😉" and then she had to live knowing she would never be able to text this great text until she died in the birthplace of her girlfriend.

So pretty 🤍
