I'm convinced Vera Valentine is on a mission to write the weirdest romance stories known to man that are STILL somehow more interesting than famous mainstream romances😭
The genre isn't for me, but I always have to respect weird art just for existing. Sometimes the best way to push your craft forward or re-ignite the passion for it is to do something really out of pocket and really commit to it.
Maybe that is the point of these books. Like perhaps she got mad at the genre and the crap that gets served to us. That the internet is gaslighting us into thinking its good. She stood up for the genre like here gold my beer. Tie my arm behind my back and watch me work.
Not to be dramatic, but I would kill and/or die for Beans. So glad you’ve got a terrible/bizarre novel support cat, they really are indispensable. Mine tried to smother me when I was attempting to read 50 Shades, presumably as a mercy. I notice Beans’ approach is more “destroy your property to distract you”, which is a valid way of getting it done.
With the warnings it’s funny to think about the person that reads them and goes “I can excuse having relations with a jar of punch, but I draw the line at step-family romance!”
i mean i find that reasonable? relationships between objects and people can't be abusive, but in-family relationships almost always are (with the smallest edge cases).
@@ohsarcasmi have to say i agree. while it is incredibly bizarre, i wouldn’t say that object/human sexual relations are morally wrong. but sexual step-familial relations? yes, morally wrong and somehow more disturbing to read 😂😂
@@ohsarcasm It’s a totally valid reaction to have! It was just funny to think about. Also the warnings made me think of that one meme “I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty!”. Maybe I should’ve said it the other way around bc step-family romance is the more objectionable thing, but oh well.
@@moss_yt nah dw it's still hilarious, just explaining why someone might be totally cool with object romance (i personally think it's really interesting to explore in the way vera does, and surprisingly healthy) but be a little put off by in-family sexual/romantic relationships.
Vera Valentine thinks a little too hard about the logistics of her wild stories and honestly? As a big fan of little details, I appreciate it. Shows she cares. "Make me your little cup" or whatever fuckin KILLED ME THOUGH.
I didn’t recognize the author’s name until you mentioned they also wrote the door book lol. I also love that she’s found her own little fun niche that is entertaining without harming the readers.
Her request not to receive video re-enactments froze my blood....what has this poor woman witnessed against her will (How did a pitcher of punch become her legal step-brother?? Like talk me through how that works. How does he sleep without emptying the pitcher?)
@@amonrawya3064 he probably sleeps sitting up. He did say though, that nothing bad happens if he's empty, that he fell as a kid and spilled out all his punch and he was fine. 🫗
My ex used to marinate hot dogs in Kool-Aid to use for fish bait. It would stink up the whole fridge. That's the scent memory you brought to mind when you said "his fruity essence."
I feel like Vera Valentine & Chuck Tingle needs to do a collab because you know honestly I’m absolutely here for it. Door handles & bounded in the blah blah and all that
So I'm writing a book and every time I wonder if my writing is too corny, I just imagine you reading it out loud in your bro voice. It really helps. Also, I would low key die for Beans.
Not me taking until the end of the video to figure out the chill-assist/kool-aid joke: "What's another word for chill-assist? Cold-help? I don't get it....."
I think this is the first of your videos to bring me to tears from laughter. This is killing me. My family seems concerned, and I just cannot ruin their innocence with this knowledge. lol
Have you ever stumbled across Chuck Tingle? I get the feeling he'd be right up your street. He's a very talented author behind such literary classics as: Space Raptor Butt Invasion Bigfoot Pirates Haunt my Balls Pounded in the Butt by my own Butt ... And of course the sequel: Pounded in the Butt by my Book "Pounded in the Butt by my own Butt"
i screamed when she begged him to make him her good little cup and then oh yeah'd. actual tears are falling good god. im concerned about her getting a uti or something tho xD
I just watched this, not knowing this book existed before today, and right on the heels of a very contemplative conversation with my nine year old about the biology of the Kool-aid man and why his glass doesn't break when he breaks through walls. Including, whether the liquid inside was his blood, organs, both... having watched this, I'm now traumatized. Keep up the good work.
I love people who have a cooky idea and aren't afraid to share it. This story is bonkers, but it's creative and entertaining which all writing/reading should be sometimes.
"She has a death grip on his ... RIM" If I laughed any harder, I think I'd be dead by this point. Legit question though, I wonder if Vera Valentine knows/is related to/is a pseudonym of our dear beloved buckaroo, Chuck Tingle? 🤔
@@HazelSageHPthank you!! Her full legal name is “Melon Pan” or sometimes Melon Loaf because I wanted to name her something to do with bread on account of how Siamese cats get “toasty” as they get older 😂 And of course a dessert because she is just the sweetest. I wish I could share a picture!
Ever since I've found your content months ago, I've been hooked, you have such an incredible balance of humor and, when it comes to more serious content, a wonderful level of respect and grace, I'm always looking forward to new videos from you
YES, please do! Also, whether it's rant worthy or not, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Camp Damascus - it's been on my list, but sometimes I can be really bad with horror because I'm a chicken, so it's been pushed a little down on the tbr 😂
Hello Beans!!! I love you Mr Kitty!! How is it that Vera Valentine can write the craziest stories and the male characters are still more functional than a lot of those in mainstream romance.
Omg, I didn't even make the Kool Aid connection until you pointed it out. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, since he has fruit drink...um..output, wouldn't that be an invitation for infection? 🤢 Oh, the book actually brought it up. At least it was acknowledged!
I've never been ashamed of my wildly vivid imagination... until now. Why am I so invested in the existence of this sentient glass pitcher of punch? Does he need to drink more punch to survive? What would a hospital do if his pitcher cracked? Could he be murdered by someone just drinking him? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi, I just wanted to say I love your videos a lot! Came here for your Haunting Adeline review, stayed here for you. Your humour is always on point and never fails to make me laugh. You’re literally the funniest person ever lol. Keep doing what you do because we’ll never get tired of it 💗🫶
I'm embarrassed to say i was so confused at the beginning visualizing this because i was picturing a glass version of Master Shake from ATHF, but then as it went on and I realized it was supposed to be the KoolAid man THE CONFUSION DID NOT STOP. NO LID???? JUST SLOSHING???? i cannot-
okay wait the cover art is driving me to hysterics. somehow throughtout the entire thing i blanked out on it being a punch pitcher and not just a vaguely-made-of-glass guy oh my god.
Loved this one so much! I’ve been around since you had about 400 subs, so happy this channel has blown up! You deserve it! ❤️❤️ Also…have you delved into the realm of monster romances? The spiders mate trilogy comes to mind 👀
@@weirdobookclub I unironically love that series! It’s got a fun jungle setting, language/culture barrier, and the writing doesn’t make me wanna cry lol, I say read it girl 👀
Not me watching this at 4AM & having to bite back my laughter to keep from waking the hubbs up🤣 ugh, thank you so much for that soul cleansing laughter, girl. Needed that
Thanks for introducing me to Parade! I love their inclusive sizing and they're hella cheap. But the quality is decent, and even the mesh feels like it's not going to fall apart like I thought. Perfect for lounging around or even running light errands. So happy they ship to Canada!
Oh. My. God. It took me way too long to get that chill assist is cool aid. 😂 My lord my only excuse is that my brain is fried Rona fatigue but damn it. Ahhhh I love your reviews of Vera’s books. She’s always so delightfully unhinged - it’s a joy to see you giggle and laugh while reading :D
It took me several moments of staring into the middle distance to understand "Chill-Assist", but I'm going to blame that on not having, uh...Chill-Assist where I am, and not on the several braincells I lost contemplating how I thought punch would be his semen but actually it's also his blood, and his spit? I need Vera to write us a Red's Anatomy for this.
Another weirdo book club video!! This is such a refreshing channel to me, her sense of humor is hilarious and even though I don’t read much anymore I love to watch her videos while I clean or play games or cook
Had to subscribe!! As a millenial those oh yeahs were my child hood. Koolaid commercials were always on. That touch was hilarious, but perfect for the story.
My theory for the “””quenching””” liquid versus whatever his blood is, is that he’s got some of that thicker sludge that you get from not mixing drink mix thoroughly enough settled at the bottom of his pitcher lmao
Even with him being "sugar free", I still somehow doubt cherry punch is particularly good for the delicate ecosystem of certain people's nethers... she better put a pause on the cherry punch and start drinking some cranberry juice 😬
I started the video as soon as I saw it (because you’re on my insta-watch list!) … and then remembered my husband was working from home today and decided waiting til later was the better part of valor 😂)
she really wrote a whole ass fanfiction for the Kool Aid man i cannot
“Good door” ✍️, “My good little cup”✍️, got it. Got it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What's next? A sentient armoire with a bad-boy streak?

Why is it he didn't just burst through the wall of the sauna? My only wish for this book while I was reading was to hear an "oh, yeah".
OMG you’re right. He should’ve just busted through lol
He did say “oh yeah” though. But I feel like it was a miss to exclude him smashing through a wall!
@@weirdobookclubhe should’ve done what now?
Well, now we can definitively say that even the Kool-Aid Man is a better love interest than Dollar Store Megalodon (Zade)

Beans had no clue what was in store for him.
I can hear his purring… what a sweet baby
“we’re having fun,” nat says through tears.

"What are you doing, step-pitcher?" 💀
I’m just so happy that you and Beans found each other, and that you could support each other in these dire times of sentient pitchers of punch ❤️
He really did come in handy while I was on this journey. He’s been very helpful with Hunting too
Does the step brother also smash through walls and say "oh yeah" when he finishes?
Eta: should've known, should've waited
Cackling
Beans:
Beautiful
Empathetic
Amazing (at cuddling)
Not afraid of kool aid smut
Super good (at being cute)

But he's sugar-free

My favorite part of this is the subtle shade to your mother
No I lied. It’s beans. My favorite part is Beans.
i think the “chill assist” follows the same logic as stephanie meyers’ vampires where venom replaces every fluid in their body.
I think this is the first of your videos to bring me to tears from laughter. This is killing me. My family seems concerned, and I just cannot ruin their innocence with this knowledge. lol
