>Before you write me off as a delusional psycho, think about what it's like to be thrown into a situation where everyone knows everyone... and no one knows you.Here's Peanut by Ayun Halliday and Paul HoppeI really hated the protagonist of this book when I first read it back in high school, let's see how it holds up
Disclaimer, the following pages weren't from proper rips or scans (which this book has neither to my knowledge) so if you notice any blur that's the reason whyIt's still mostly legible though and while I initially swore off doing more storytimes without proper scans or rips, I think this could be an exception
Bump if you're reading
>>150352633What's this about? Silly meaningless woman problems?
Skipping pages that are blank
>>150353874he looks like john eggberd the homestuck kid.
>>150352633This isn't Charlie Brown? I feel misled.
>The writer of this apparently dated Colbert in the 80sHuh
>>150353363damn what happen to the quality of the page?
>>150355660That's what happens when you don't have proper scans or rips and aren't reading them through the Internet Archive itself
>>150353773god he's so based
And that's the endNormally I'd direct people to go rent it off the Internet Archive for better quality but it's not available to borrow so you'll have to make due with the official release either through a used copy or on KindleThanks for the bumps
Is it safe to say Sadie is a bigger fuck up than Nikki Maxwell?
Oh damn, I was in that Scholastic thread where you got the idea to storytime this. I'mma read up!
Bumpan
>>150356174I remember you saying you were going to dump this. Thanks OP!I probably would've been annoyed by this as a kid too, but growing up I've come to appreciate flawed characters the creator doesn't apologize for. This girl went on an epic crash out.
>>150359216Yeah I feel the sameI think what soured me on her initially was that the moment she reveals she's faking having an allergy for attention it sets up the whole book as one big liar reveal plot but I can admittedly appreciate she's not immediately forgiven in the end.I don't dislike Sadie as much as I did back then but that might just be more open to accept more flawed protagonists like you said
If Sadie was my daughter I'd disown her
I was really expecting some type of assault to happen, idkw
>>150352748She looks cute
>>150359573kinda fucked up thing to say
>>150352678Reading
Thanks OP
>>150352748She's cute.
>>150352848>I'm not really allergic to peanuts.I am willing to where does one go with this premise.
>>150359216>I probably would've been annoyed by this as a kid too, but growing up I've come to appreciate flawed characters the creator doesn't apologize for.apparently i was the fucked up one as a kid cause i always loved it, as an adult i was genuinely shocked to learn that people get offended when fictional characters act like fuckheads
>>150353363I thought there was something wrong with my screen for a sec.
>>150363946It's because people don't get there's a difference between unlikable and unpleasant
>>150355380dude's got a way better highschool challenge run than her's.would require immense commitment, but that could've been fun to do irl (though I probably only think that since I only used email back then when everyone else had early smartphones)
>>150352748Cute
>>150353423>Wet dreams, maybeDrawfriends, you know what to do.
>>150356174thanks for the dump, reminded me of when I pretended to know japanese when I was in middleschool
>>150365002>when I pretended to know japaneseDid you buy into your own kayfabe?
>>150365364for sixth grade we had to do a similar "introduce yourself essay" that wasn't verbally read and I straight up took words from the japanese dictionary (kanji and all) and artificially injected them as substitution words.thought I was all that since I taught myself hiragana and katakana but shit was so retarded even then. Actually took up japanese tutoring lessons after the first semester and eventually ap class in highschool
>>150365635Huh, a girl I knew did something similar in High School given she was a colossal weeb but apparently she was actually good at it and lives in Japan now
I feel like if this comic take place in the modern day Sadie would've gotten a lot more shit for what she tried to pull
>>150366273Gonna be honest, the repercussions were largely personal. Yeah it was a farce for attention, but she never made any ill-gotten gains from it nor forced any upheaval for her sake (she changed her eating habits as opposed to petitioning a cafeteria menu change and the nurse was already prepped).Probably the only real substantial consequence was a false alarm for first responders which is more than humiliating enough.Gotten more shit? I don't know, being completely ostracized already seems pretty adequate. If there's more flame to be had, it'd probably max out at the level of the Balloon Boy scam.
>>150353520>>150353538>stacys lusting after chadaccurate
>>150366698eh, he just seems like a chill dude who got a tribal so that's doing a lot of heavy lifting
>>150366653>Balloon Boy scam.What happened there?
>>150352633Heh, 'Halliday' almost sounds like HOLLIDAY.
>>150367493They pretended that their kid died after hiding in a home made air balloon and falling somewhere. He was really hiding in the attic.
>>150369655Yeesh
>>150365635Well at least it ended well
>>150369655>They pretended that their kid diedThe father didn't pretend he actually thought his son was in there. His other son told him he was in there while older son hid in the attic. It was a prank that went out of hand. And the dad got royally screwed over because of it.
>>150372382That's fucked
pee nut
>>150372382Bullshit he absolutely knew. They were a family desperate for media attention and they found a way to get it. Any lie they tell now is just cope.
>>150375591Deez Nuts
>>150377081goteem
>>150353671Messed up to throw her friend under the bus for this weird lie.
>>150377081kek
>>150379014Her friend became a Chud the first chance she got and started hanging with homophobes. Fuck her anyway.
>>150380168>t. HomosexualDie, faggot
>>150353773Interesting perspective.
>>150379014Not like any of them are actually gonna meet her
>>150352633Jesus Christ, I checked this out from my local library a few weeks ago because I was feeling nostalgic. I liked it well enough and even thought about storytiming it. Thanks for reading my mind and doing it for me, I guess
>>150382369/co/ hivemind
>>150382369You can still do it if you can do/want a storytime in non-potato quality
