In Coke, the soda, as well. Let's keep in mind, Freud was contemporary with phrenology, malaria therapy, hydrotherapy, chemically induced seizures, insulin shock therapy, and ideas à la Henry Cotton. It helps contextualize it, so Freud was bad- but many contemporaries were *significantly* worse.

Or... leave jail ?? -Time moves like a kids cartoon that only has a 10 minute time slot -No consequences whatsoever

When you started referring to “Diesel” as “Destiel”, I nearly fucking threw up from laughing. It was like my soul was trying to rapidly vacate my body.
Side note: I am a stripper and we have lots of younger people, including groups of cis women, come in because they feel safe at a place where the men won't hit on them because there are strippers. Most of them are also into girls and like the strippers, too.
Are the drinks any good? I think a good idea for a funny local restaurant would be a bar that makes the best cocktails anywhere, but nobody knows because nobody wants to come in, because it's also a strip club.
I’m pan, and when I rarely go, I just love the physical prowess, mastery and empowerment that can be brought from it. Like anything, there is good and bad, sad and happy, but those women work fucking HARD and deserve respect and a safe place to earn that money because they provide it for us too. Very insightful and thoughtful perspective of that demographic. Love it. Also, when it doesn’t bother them, I prefer talking to the employees over a cigarette like a regular person. They just have a dope skill.
I'm a straight cis woman and I love going to strip clubs. I'm not sexually turned on really, but I appreciate the beauty and how they move. We always tip well, have some overpriced drinks and go home.
Hearing all of that insanity and then "it's only ninety pages" made me feel every single negative emotion a human is capable of all in the same instant and I think my brain tried to hit the kill switch.

- MC is seen as ugly because glasses - shitty comic relief character - dead/missing biological parent/relatives - abusive foster parent/family - protagonist is OP, does good things (like killing villains), and no one notices it (example: protag kills a powerful mafia boss and all of his cronies. the next day: no one talks about it in the news.) - *everyone* loves/hates the MC - if *everyone* hates the MC, they'll prove the haters wrong by saving the day, everyone changes their mind and suddenly likes the MC. even the people that have good points against the MC. - an OP female character with no personality because "girl power" - the author doesn't do their research on the subject they're writing about, and it shows

I like that Aeons says that dark/nasty topics shouldn't be "disallowed" in fiction, but you also shouldn't mislead your audience like this book is doing. Like, if I only looked at the cover and heard about it being erotica, I would think this was about a young woman who likes to tease guys/girls and has fun doing it (which is a super hot premise for an erotic book, erotic doesn't need to be super deep). This is the same as someone writing a gory violent fic and not putting any tags about it having gore and just describing the story as "action packed" ajkhfajkfhj
@@salem-01 "dead dove: do not eat" is a joke from arrested development. the main character sees a bag on the fridge labeled with that, opens it, and then says "i don't know what i was expecting".

The unconsciousness thing really gets me because the writing club i was in in *middle school* would joke about how the easiest way to write a fight was to have a character bracing for it at the end of one chapter and waking up from it in the next.

apparently r*pe roleplay is a kink sometimes used as coping mechanism, for trauma with this kind of abuse. like writing books on it or making art. so i guess that might be it? as well as how she internalised the trauma and maybe doesn't want to admit to herself what happened to her was non-consensual. which, you know, is the experience of most victims :c i genuinely hope she's better now

"Goddamn it Priscilla, that same man comes in here every morning and buys $10 oatmeal which is like $9.50 straight profit for the business, just for an excuse to propose marriage to you, an employee. And YOU have the nerve to flirt with him when you're off-duty? You're fired!"
The ugly vs hot Mary thing has more potential than any other idea in this book. Hot Mary is Ugly Mary's "Tyler Durden" and HM killing UM is her psychotic break into her own fantasy life. Meanwhile, she's still working at the diner and Preston exists only in her dissociative fantasy.
the bible imagery is so interesting - mary is a bible name, so is priscilla, her stripper name, and destiel as well,, there's something there but my mind is not big enough to understand what
Mary means "bitter" or "rebellion" in which obviously after what happens in the story to Mary...it makes sense. Priscilla is a name that was intended to make anyone who had the name have a longer & fulfilling life, in which Mary tries to empower herself through her alter ego Priscilla to fill in a void through her life. Note: Mary meaning "bitter" can be a symbol of Rival! Mary as her bitterness gives her drive to bring upon the downfall of MC! Mary (bitterness can also represent her murder in which justice for her is in vain), who is the symbol of rebellion (becoming a stripper, a hooker, & a basement dungeon sugar baby) but in the end, both meanings intertwine as bitterness eventually takes MC! Mary over. Rival! Mary was the side of the coin that on the table, but as it flipped eventually MC!Mary took both meanings
@@enderkatze6129 It's a horror movie about a girl who is murdered and through some means (it's explained at the end of the movie, I just don't wanna spoil it for you) comes back as a murderous succubus. Decent horror film.
My Aunt's name is Candy and she's an Elementary school teacher not a stripper. Since she's not here to take offense to that, I will do so on her behalf

Hold on - we’re brushing past the: “We can’t continue our sexual relationship unless it’s right in the eyes of god and the state of California.” Just gonna brush past it? Say it once and just slide on by like it didn’t happen? My brain hurts more than the onion boy books because those at least have some semblance of sense and continuity.
I don't remember honestly what this is a reference to, but it's definitely from something, only there's a slight difference of phrasing that I can't remember? I think it's something like "in the eyes of God and the state of "? But it's just a jokey way to refer to a marriage being official versus just cohabitating.

Guys, you know what we should do? We should start a fandom on AO3 for this and Satan Was A Lesbian, but instead of making smutfic, we should just make this monstrosity as wholesome as possible instead. Fluff fic and coffee shop AUs Edit: update its expanded to all the Strange Æons-reviewed books
"It wouldn't be right to continue our relationship unless it's right in the eyes of God in the state of California" love the implication that God has different rules for relationships based on where you're located
I read this comment as I was watching the video for the first time and thought "no way its THAT bad" but it's and incredibly accurate description, good job
Sliding into DMs now like "girl, I would pay a $10 oatmeal everyday for you." ok this is what happens when you comment before the video ends that guy is not good enough for $10 oatmeals
They say you shouldn't judge a boots by its cover, but when the cover is a reference to Lolita yet still labeled "erotica" that really says it all on how f**ked up the contents must be.
Having worked at a sex shop under a strip club, college aged guys tend to come to strip clubs either after finals or graduation. Usually the only women who go are either bi gals with a boyfriend or a bachelorette party going there for a laugh, and both cases are actually pretty rare. At least in my area. However, I'm sure if strip clubs were co-ed or there were more male stripe clubs (cause those do exist), women would be at them more often.
@@MrTrombonebandgeek Of course you do still see women sometimes. The one near me sees a few women every week. I remember the one time I went a woman got kicked out for trying to grab the guy on stage. Technically women are only allowed because the club can't operate unless they allow women in.

The heart-shaped sunglasses and lollipop on the cover, and the horror elements (or anything involving Preston) gave a vibe that the book was intentionally referencing Lolita and actually understood that Lolita is not a romance novel.

@@zawrator4457 I don’t think they were saying to congratulate her or anyone for it lol just pointing that out. It’s honestly surprising knowing Trisha tho

Ah, yes, the signature elements of self-insert fiction:
-Main characters falling asleep/unconscious for plot convenience
-Protagonist being attacked and tormented for no reason
-Every line of dialogue is a one liner
-Characters can just... leave the hospital ?? Or... leave jail ??
-Time moves like a kids cartoon that only has a 10 minute time slot
-No consequences whatsoever
I mean, I've seen people leave the hospital before 🤷
To be fair they discourage it but unless you're in state custody you can definitely leave the hospital
You can just leave the hospital, against medical advice unless you are being held for being a danger to yourself or others.

she wrote the book while she was on drugs and a lot of it does reflect her real experiences
Stephen King wrote books while on drugs & doesn't even remember writing them, didn't brand them as romances though
she is very traumatized, so it is scary! shes doing a lot better now though :)
apparently r*pe roleplay is a kink sometimes used as coping mechanism, for trauma with this kind of abuse. like writing books on it or making art. so i guess that might be it? as well as how she internalised the trauma and maybe doesn't want to admit to herself what happened to her was non-consensual. which, you know, is the experience of most victims :c

Mary means "bitter" or "rebellion" in which obviously after what happens in the story to Mary...it makes sense. Priscilla is a name that was intended to make anyone who had the name have a longer & fulfilling life, in which Mary tries to empower herself through her alter ego Priscilla to fill in a void through her life.
Note: Mary meaning "bitter" can be a symbol of Rival! Mary as her bitterness gives her drive to bring upon the downfall of MC! Mary (bitterness can also represent her murder in which justice for her is in vain), who is the symbol of rebellion (becoming a stripper, a hooker, & a basement dungeon sugar baby) but in the end, both meanings intertwine as bitterness eventually takes MC! Mary over. Rival! Mary was the side of the coin that on the table, but as it flipped eventually MC!Mary took both meanings

Im literally watching this alone in my dorm because my roommate moved out with no explanation
Avoid ten dollar oatmeals at all costs
good luck paying your rent at the end of the month
teya destroying the book was such a therapeutic moment and i wasn’t even the one who read it
I feel that
The fact that the cover mirrors Lolita just raises every single red flag in existence
This book crosses the line of horrible that is Onision’s writing and into the territory of horrible that is Onision’s real life.
onisions murder is basic but huge events that he is numb to. trishas is graphic gorey personal murder
fifty shades IS the dollar store fifty shades. this is the found in a dilapidated home fifty shades
I CACKLED reading this
"garbage canister outside a sex shop in Shreveport" Shades
@@Wrexywrex328 yes lol
It's the penny store fifty shades
@@Wrexywrex328 like fifty shades was bad enough, then this exists
I just realized. She literally watched "Jennifer's Body" and thought "oh okay I can do this too"
But with none of the nuance and meaning! Yay!
@@tinygriffin467 Exactly!
What's Jennifers body
@@enderkatze6129 I wont tell you.
@@enderkatze6129 It's a horror movie about a girl who is murdered and through some means (it's explained at the end of the movie, I just don't wanna spoil it for you) comes back as a murderous succubus. Decent horror film.
The head slam and then the "Hey Bestie" is TOO funny to me.
I use that joke all the time.
My cat is named “Mittens”. When I adopted her , her name on her paperwork was Priscilla 😆😅.
Her stripper name is Mittens
@@cur1ouscatf1sh Oh no
My Aunt's name is Candy and she's an Elementary school teacher not a stripper. Since she's not here to take offense to that, I will do so on her behalf
There are a fair amount of older women (most in their late 60s) who are named Candy/Kandy, it was a fairly popular name at a certain point in time.
@@QtPieMarth I know a lady named Taffy around that age lol
@@BELHARZ4 yikes
Are you sure?? Sometimes people have side jobs
Had a teacher with the name candy. She never used her first name always a first letter and her middle name lol
I put this on in the background while I was drawing and the name "Destiel" made me make the biggest splotch over the whole lineart as my entire body cramped and shivered.
Rip your lineart😭
I hope that was digital :')
truly a name that evokes a visceral physical reaction
I fell off my chair Lol
Hold on - we’re brushing past the: “We can’t continue our sexual relationship unless it’s right in the eyes of god and the state of California.”
Just gonna brush past it? Say it once and just slide on by like it didn’t happen?
My brain hurts more than the onion boy books because those at least have some semblance of sense and continuity.
Minus book 3 💀
Honestly wtf does that even M E A N??! "The state of California" TRISH WHAT???
I don't remember honestly what this is a reference to, but it's definitely from something, only there's a slight difference of phrasing that I can't remember? I think it's something like "in the eyes of God and the state of "? But it's just a jokey way to refer to a marriage being official versus just cohabitating.
I thought the title said "Trisha Paytas's Gross 50 Dollar Shades," and I was like, damn, what can be so gross about some sunglasses lmao
i read it as that too lol
I mean, factory conditions? capitalism in general prioritizing the profit over individual workers?
Saaaaaaame. I assumed she was selling shitty glasses.
@@ZimLikesPastaAnimation That's not a problem with the actual sunglasses though, it's the companies that produce them.
I thought someone released a new foundation shade at the dollar store that had 50 shades lol
i cant believe this all happened in 90 pages. i feel like ive personally now been through years of trauma😭
edit: as a psych major, i would actually thoroughly enjoy seeing a psychologist go through and analyse this book ngl
As a licensed psychometrician THIS BOOK IS A TRIP AND A HALF....the dick biting really got me. I CAN FEEL FREUD ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE
@@astralptm7310 ohgod i cant tell if this is freud’s dream or nightmare😭😭
Same, that would be cool as hell.
Well, I know what I'm doing when I finish residency!
Guys, you know what we should do? We should start a fandom on AO3 for this and Satan Was A Lesbian, but instead of making smutfic, we should just make this monstrosity as wholesome as possible instead. Fluff fic and coffee shop AUs
Edit: update its expanded to all the Strange Æons-reviewed books
fuck yeah let's do it
Love that
Yes please
I love this idea so much.
I've never been more in favour of something ever before
"It wouldn't be right to continue our relationship unless it's right in the eyes of God in the state of California" love the implication that God has different rules for relationships based on where you're located
Ah yes, Tease. You mean the mixture of Fifty Shades, Killing Stalking and 365 Days. A true classic
kind of off topic, but i say “are you lost 🅱️🅱️ gorl” at least once a day and idk how to stop
@@furbys_prey_on_transphobes4065 I relate. I do that with so many silly quotes
Oh my God you're right.
I read this comment as I was watching the video for the first time and thought "no way its THAT bad" but it's and incredibly accurate description, good job
killingmesoftlywithhissong
This is seven books of action and plot stuffed into 90 pages and I feel like I've been hit in the face with a bat.
I only having watching this video I wish I had been hit by a bat
Sliding into DMs now like "girl, I would pay a $10 oatmeal everyday for you."
ok this is what happens when you comment before the video ends that guy is not good enough for $10 oatmeals
They say you shouldn't judge a boots by its cover, but when the cover is a reference to Lolita yet still labeled "erotica" that really says it all on how f**ked up the contents must be.
Having worked at a sex shop under a strip club, college aged guys tend to come to strip clubs either after finals or graduation. Usually the only women who go are either bi gals with a boyfriend or a bachelorette party going there for a laugh, and both cases are actually pretty rare. At least in my area. However, I'm sure if strip clubs were co-ed or there were more male stripe clubs (cause those do exist), women would be at them more often.
Least where I live, the only male strip clubs around me that I know of are gay focused strip clubs
@@MrTrombonebandgeek Of course you do still see women sometimes. The one near me sees a few women every week.
I remember the one time I went a woman got kicked out for trying to grab the guy on stage. Technically women are only allowed because the club can't operate unless they allow women in.
You recapping an absolute roller coaster of a tale and then saying "chapter five" almost broke my neck from whiplash whAT
“The police arrest me, and put me in a mental ward”
Strange Æons: *nods*
Like...so much said in that nod
