Live Blogs Modelland: A Blind Sporking

This chapter is incredibly short. Only about six pages on the Kindle, which is about 3-4 pages for a paper copy. It's a big contrast to the other chapters, which are normally much, much longer.

We begin with Ci~L hyperventilating due to the reveal that the BellaDonna is her mother. I guess other women had already used up the fainting quotient for the book.

Creamy is still covered in dirt, while the BellaDonna is still wearing her black dress with spikes.

Surgery can be used to fix cataracts in real life. Modelland has anti-gravity and magic. There is no reason for her NOT to get surgery to fix the cataracts, unless there's some "anti-surgery" magic field around her.

Ci~L gets mad that the BellaDonna threw her away, and the BellaDonna said she did it because she was tricked. Creamy fires back that Ladonna ruined her. The BellaDonna accuses Creamy of being jealous and says that no one could ever love Creamy because her "heart is black inside."

The BellaDonna then acts like a little kid and snatches the doll away from Creamy. This starts a fight. The two knock over the Flashback Females and Persimmon while fighting over the doll. Until . . .

Creamy frees herself of the comically-long dress spike and falls to the floor, bleeding profusely.

No one in the room attempts to stop the blood flow or administer any form of first aid. Creamy continues to bleed all over the place and get weaker.

Tookie kneels down beside Creamy. Creamy whispers something inaudible, and Tookie gets close to listen.

So we finally get Creamy's backstory only for her to be killed by ugly supervillain fashion? Naturally, without resolving any of the lingering issues involving her relationships with other characters, or revealing little details like who Tookie's real father is and why Creamy loved Tookie as a baby but hates her now.

I'd like to say that the book can't get any worse, but I don't want to tempt fate.

Then again, if one of the characters gets smart and applies some pressure to the wound, it might not be too late to save Creamy. Heck, Ci~L could teleportal them to the infirmary and get Creamy treatment within a minute or so. That might be expecting too much of these characters, though.

This book is vile. This book is loathesome and despicable. I know it's a mug's game to extrapolate a writer's mindset from her work, but I can't imagine anyone without a thouroughly ugly heart writing any of this.

anti surgery magical field. lol. And I agree, them helping Creamy would be asking to much of them. To warn you all, it's gonna get stupider, if that's even possible. So, does Creamy's backstory make her more villainous/ evil, or does it destroy her character? Personally, it's a little weird.

My God, this is so absolutely terrible.

The writing is juvenile and pretentious, and it sucks. The characters are boring and flat. Almost every chapter has more Unfortunate Implications.

But these last few chapters have been worse than all of that. Everything else wrong with this book takes a backseat to the incredible, disgusting, convoluted shit Tyra has given us. I want all of these characters to die.

Yeah, you know your book is bad when the bulk of your book stinks and you somehow make the ending worse.

Honestly this is a rare that of book. It's the kind of book that should never have existed, and has writing so bad it turns the book into an eldrich abomination. Modelland belongs in the category I call shitfest.

Why is everyone in this book getting skewered by improbably-placed spikes?

I don't know. But i'm sure it's Tyra's twisted mind and poor writing to be blamed here. And I'm recategorizing Modelland under shitfest disaster or shitfest apocalypse, which ever suites the book will do.

^ You need to settle on one or the other, since you'll have a hard time finding the file if you then decide to add a category for "Shitfest Catastrophe"
