![]() ![]() “Sad Girl Summer” reading lists feature books about disaffected twentysomethings for those who, like the Sad Girl character, can’t get out of bed despite the warm weather.īut the literary romanticization of this kind of woman isn’t new, even if social media has made it easier to imitate. BookTok creators showcase a stack of Sad Girl books alongside coquettish, aesthetic symbols like lip gloss, pearls, and heart-shaped sunglasses while a Lana Del Rey or Mitski song plays in the background. Most recently, this archetype has been pathologized on BookTok, a subcommunity of booklovers on TikTok. Nothing can cut through the disaffection, the constant desire not to exist. She mostly, if not only, dates unavailable men. She’s either unemployed and broke or working a meaningless job that she’ll lose before the third act. A young white woman, unable to confront the grief, trauma, and/or mental illness that numbs her (think: Esther in Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar), makes a radical - albeit self-destructive - change (think: the unnamed narrator of Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation putting herself to sleep for a year using prescription drugs). It puts things into perspective and has helped me to embrace the more difficult parts of this uncertain era.During the summer of 2020, a certain kind of literary heroine regained popularity on social media. If you’re curious about the journey of another twenty-something and want an escape from your own, I recommend this book. Several weeks after I’ve finished this book, I’m still trying to make sense of the profound ending. We know it’s happening soon, but we have no idea how it’ll affect our protagonist. Lastly, the fact that the entire timeline is a slow build up to 9/11 had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Though I didn’t know her name, I felt the protagonist to be almost an extension of myself I felt her pain, experienced her triumphs, and wished her nothing but the peace she was seeking. In the end, though, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” was a page turner. Secondly, the part of the book in which she begins to experience positive change is quite brief, which I felt was unsatisfying. I think that this could be a dangerous message for some people, so anyone considering reading this novel should keep that in mind. I wouldn’t say this is a book that romanticizes drug abuse, but I think it certainly walks a fine line. However, this book does leave me with a few qualms. And sometimes, we need isolation and self-reflection more than the empty comfort that others provide, a lesson I’ve had to come to terms with recently. However, that’s what makes both of these books so satisfying-the brutal honesty. ![]() This is also combined with the fact that both narrators have a tendency to be insufferable. This book, in my humble opinion, is a modern day “Catcher in the Rye.” In both books, we experience the suffocation of family trauma, the frustration of existing around a bunch of two-faced “phonies,” and the anguish of mental illness. Worst of all, though, she can’t see the beauty in things anymore. ![]() Alas, each time she wakes up from her drug-induced blackout, she is still in love with a dirty older banker named Trevor who treats her like garbage and is still bombarded by her “best friend” Reva, a Long Island native who both loves and envies her. She walks us through the motions of growing dissatisfied with life as well as the reality of her addiction to a cocktail of psychotropic drugs that she uses to sleep her days away, all in an attempt to rebirth herself. We follow an unnamed narrator, a young, rich, and beautiful Columbia graduate who is living off her dead parents’ inheritance. “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” by Ottessa Moshfegh is a 2018 novel that takes readers to New York City before 9/11.

![]() Glamrock Chica was the only Glamrock Animatronic whose design was still not revealed until Funko's leak.If the player had obtained her voice box via the Chica's Feeding Frenzy minigame, then Cassie will insert it back into Chica, who will loudly exclaim "I smell pizza!" before deactivating permanently. She remains there for the rest of the game. Later on, Chica is also momentarily encountered in Roxy Raceway, where she goes into a bathroom and collapses on the ground. Chica is not seen until much later where she walks around the Bakery area. Chica is first encountered in a kitchen area, where she jumpscares Cassie before shutting down. The key difference is that, like with Roxanne and Monty, she can be lured to certain areas using the intercom system. During the final bossfight, Chica will simply walk down the left doorway, and the player must shut the door to stop her.Ĭhica's behavior in RUIN is mostly similar to her behavior in the base game after her shattering. In her shattered state, she seemingly runs slightly faster, with the only other notable difference being the louder noises she makes in favor of her usual dialog. This will trigger Chica to enter it, and activate the trash compactor in the Kitchen, which will lead Glamrock Chica to get shattered underneath it. To decommission Chica, the player must find a box of Monty Mystery Mix within Bonnie Bowl and place it inside the trash compactor. When inside Glamrock Freddy, she doesn't notice the player at all, and will continue to wander aimlessly. Bot is alerted, where they will spawn a slight distance away, Chica spawns directly behind Gregory. Additionally, while Monty and Roxy will teleport nearby when a S.T.A.F.F. Chica will also occasionally check hiding spots to see if the player is within one. However, when she is close enough, she will start sprinting instead, making Chica very dangerous in smaller rooms. Instead of immediately charging after Gregory at full speed upon spotting him, Chica will simply walk towards him. While Chica has the most basic behavior of the main three, she can still be quite a nuisance to the player early in the game. Glamrock Chica wanders around the Pizzaplex aimlessly until spotting Gregory and giving chase. Finally, her upper arm, torso and right shin are covered in a sticky, stretchy substance that appears to be moldy pizza cheese. The entire right half of her head is missing, exposing her endoskeleton. Her legs and torso are significantly more cracked and damaged than before, and her torso has a garbage bag stuck inside it. Her left arm is almost entirely missing, and her right arm is missing all of its suit. After being shattered, Chica also makes loud mechanical noises, possibly trying to speak but not being able to due to her voice box being gone.Ĭhica received the least amount of damage in her Ruined form, being mostly similar to Shattered Chica, with a few minor differences. Chica remains this way for the rest of the game. Finally, her hair, bow, earrings, legs and feet hold multiple smaller cracks. Chica's eyes also become slightly cracked and her right eye is not being controlled. The plastic casing on her left arm is entirely missing with the exception of her wrist, and she has a sizable hole in her right forearm, exposing more of her endoskeleton underneath. Her torso has multiple large holes in it, one of which spreads throughout her whole torso, going from shoulder to shoulder. ![]() Her beak is gone, with a large hole in place of it, revealing the endoskeleton jaw underneath. Shattered Chica's body is cracked and broken, with some paint scraping off on her legs and face. Just like all the other Glamrocks, her eyes can be seen glowing red at times. She wears black, studded bracelets on both of her forearms, and dark green, triangular earrings.Ĭhica holds a blueberry blue and hot pink star-shaped guitar. ![]() She has a dark green, leopard print right leg, and a magenta, zebra print left leg, meant to resemble leg warmers. She has a light pink chest piece, a narrow, dark pink, metallic waist, small dark pink shoulder guards above her segmented arms, which end in green, fingerless gloves. Just like her Toy & Funtime counterparts, Glamrock Chica's body is noticeably curvy, giving her the generic athletic build. ![]() She has a few stray feathers that stick out from the top of her head with a pink hair bow, pink triangular marks on her cheeks, pink eyeliner around her right eye, and pink lipstick. She is a white-pink chicken with an orange beak, purple eyes, pink eyelids, long eyelashes, and orange feet. Just like the other members of the Glamrocks, she is dressed in a 1980's vibe. ![]() ![]() An additional pocket on one end also has an ID card slot for writing your and your cat's information on. When not attached to a suitcase, the bottom of that pass-through zips closed so it can be used as a pocket instead. When all zipped up, the Porto kind of looks like a sophisticated duffle bag and there is a luggage handle pass-through on the back. One of my cats has been lounging in it like this frequently, though it hasn't made it easier to start closing it around him-cats just don't care what you want. This could also be good for traveling or moving, serving as a safe space if you have to stay the night in a hotel room. With the Porto, you can unzip one side completely, and then unfold the faux shearling pad to make a little bed for your feline to relax in. The generally accepted advice for getting cats used to carriers is to leave the carrier out around the house so they'll feel confident to explore them before you go anywhere. ![]() Instead of trying to pull them out, just unzip it around them. While getting them into the carrier is typically the biggest battle, getting them out can be just as hard if you've arrived somewhere they're scared of, like the vet. ![]() I could see this being a huge help for disabled pets who need a little bit more care when getting into a carrier. It's customizable to make it as easy as possible on you and your furry friend. Or maybe you need the top and one end open, or even the entire side. If your cat prefers top entry, you can open the entire carrier like a box instead of trying to squeeze them through a small rectangular door. This gives you more options for loading, unloading, and lounging. It can go from totally flat to completely zipped up and structured. ![]() The biggest difference between the Porto and other carriers is that it's framed with zippers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Get my own kitchen eventually and was taught how to cook by Masterįilipino cooks whom cherished the Masonic ways.
