this is such a novel thing truly that has never been done before and i think the idea of swapping the time on your phone with the time spent reading is worldchanging, your genius never fails to surprise me
love it when you’re far away from the camera and your aim for the lens is so off that it feels like a grandpa with vision problems is talking to me but looking past me
was lying in my bed rotting like a plague-ridden, depressed rat and the first few mins of this were genuinely so inspiring that I’ve gotten out of bed and am now watching as I get my ass up and out of the house (it’s 5pm) BUT THANK YOU I APPRECIATE U SO MUCH LOOK AFTER YOURSELF KING
Swapped my screen time for reading and ended up in a whole new world-no loading screens or ads, just pure adventure! Thanks, Shawn, for inspiring me to rediscover the magic of books!( I did this challenge in my mind).
I started reading *My Heart Is a Chainsaw* because it was on your currently reading list, and now I’m questioning if my heart might actually need a chainsaw to cut through this literary nightmare :)
One of my all time favorite horror esc movies is Pulse (the original Japanese version, NOT the American remake!!) it’s so incredibly psychological, and so eerie and unsettling. The buildup of some of the scenes are so well done. The sounds, the atmosphere, it’s literally perfect. Highly HIGHLY recommend
hereditary, the vvitch, and the lighthouse are some of my very favorites. im not a huge slasher person but i enjoyed X! not my favorite but not bad. also i loved the end of everything!! hozier wrote no plan and put her name is there and she thanks him in the acknowledgments
i wanted to came up with some funny comment to make you smile shawn but i cant think and i have brainrot so ill just say that your videos always make me feel like my life will be better someday and you really light up my day! thanks!!!
It's a coincidence that I had just started Another Country yesterday as I had finished Giovanni's Room. I hope Shawn makes a video about his review on this book or about James Baldwin, he's really an amazing author!
I really like the idea of replacing daily average use of screen to reading, I think I am going to try it this week. thank you Shawn u always light my day up.
I know My Heart Is a Chainsaw, or, really, Stephen Graham Jones's writing, is divisive, but I still get excited whenever I see people picking it up, only to get heartbroken when they hate it 😂 I love SGJ and I think MHIaCS is so well done, but I also 100% understand why people don't like it. When it comes to his work, it very much seems to be you either vibe with it or you don't. That sounds so awful and like I'm making excuses, but like you said; both haters and lovers tend to bring up the same points, and it's really all about either you're feeling what he's doing or you don't, and if you don't, that's it, nothing really to be done about it. Something I do think might help some people is truly accepting and understanding that Jade is, like you said, a deeply hurt and harmed child, who lives in a completely dissociative state, and the story isn't just her point of view, the whole storytelling is done through that lens. So as a, presumably, relatively mentally well person, it can be very difficult to get into that frame of mind. Another book from SGJ that utilizes this perspective is The Least of My Scars, and I always recommend this one to people who think Chainsaw is too slow. The Least of My Scars is just as weird, weirder, even, but with a lot more going on. So, if you're willing to give SGJ another shot, maybe try that one. There's a lot more to say about his writing and why it is the way it is, and why the way it is isn't actually 'bad' (he's a very skilled writer), but if you want to read an essay about him and his work, I'm sure you can find that yourself, I'm not here to lecture (I say as I've written out this massive comment) or imply that you are 'wrong' for disliking this book.
it is encapsulating that you feel everyone thinks the world is crumbling because so do i, thank you for legitimizing my irrational thinking and strengthening my internet bubble
As always, I enjoyed watching this. It also gave me some motivation to be more active and try to get my life together. Since it's in shambles rn. Trying wouldn't hurt anyone, I guess🤷♀️.
Loooove this. I had finally gotten my screen time down to 3 hours a day (much better than a few months ago, which was 22...) and started reading loads of books. But, I've been in a slump lately so it's taken me a month or two to finish ONE book. Idk if It's the books I'm reading, or I'm just chronically online.
us by jordan peele is one of my fave horror movies! and with slashers i love the scream franchise. tbh it’s horror but also it feels like a comedy, that’s why i love it haha
2:15 This is literally what I did, coupled with intense anxiety about running late so I’d leave my house piss early. And now I’m just stuck a ‘morning person.’ If I don’t wake up at 6am I will fucking end it all. Highly recommend ^_^
i feel like you would like braid (2019) based on the horror movies you said you liked. also longlegs which just came out seems up ur alley. if you want more of a straight up slasher try halloween, nightmare on elm street, and scream
“I want to reduce my screen time” he says to the gay little people in his camera
it's the beginning of the end...
The world may be crumbling to literal pieces but at least we have a Shawn upload
a 40 minute long one at that
fr my first thought lol
i still strongly agree to ur last comment about the victorian ankles lmfao
@@AmbushOptional I feel so seen, you’re a real one 😭
🫶
There's something so comforting watching Shawn try and get his life together whilst I'm simultaneously doing the same
we got this
Felt
Shawn really living that 'that girl' aesthetic lifestyle
this is such a novel thing truly that has never been done before and i think the idea of swapping the time on your phone with the time spent reading is worldchanging, your genius never fails to surprise me
i mean its literally a trending challenge on booktube but yeah😭😂
@@0tung498 they were joking because its so popular😭
@@0tung498its satire
@@annaalexandra that is so true how could i forget
@@0tung498woooooosh
Why does it always feels like you're the only one in the world? Just a man and his dog
Omg this is so true
Now that it’s July 42nd, I think we can all say that Shawn has kept us sane the whole summer
love it when you’re far away from the camera and your aim for the lens is so off that it feels like a grandpa with vision problems is talking to me but looking past me
LOLOL i was mostly looking at the camera i was using as a mic 😸
you look like someone that would compete in swimming at the olympics
was lying in my bed rotting like a plague-ridden, depressed rat and the first few mins of this were genuinely so inspiring that I’ve gotten out of bed and am now watching as I get my ass up and out of the house (it’s 5pm) BUT THANK YOU I APPRECIATE U SO MUCH LOOK AFTER YOURSELF KING
SAME😭😭😭😭
my therapist canceled my appointment today, home girl knew you’d drop a video and decided to save me some $$
Swapped my screen time for reading and ended up in a whole new world-no loading screens or ads, just pure adventure! Thanks, Shawn, for inspiring me to rediscover the magic of books!( I did this challenge in my mind).
with all due respect, you radiate european girl vibes
you're like if Fred Figglehorn was literate
He really does give Fred
LMAO
LMAAOAOAOAOO
hmm that's mean
Lucas is pretty cognitively sharp idk
Watching Shawn Mccomb feels like misusing Adderall in the best way possible
i love how priory of shawn has morphed from an elite secret society to a sort of alien ufo that's taking prisoners...
Reading East of Eden while on the come-up is soooo beautiful !!!! Yes Shawn your life might be a movie
just as i was about to read.... well now i can procrastinate that for 40 minutes thank u king
I started reading *My Heart Is a Chainsaw* because it was on your currently reading list, and now I’m questioning if my heart might actually need a chainsaw to cut through this literary nightmare :)

Shawn uploading regularly has made my summer so much better ngl.

im a simple woman. i see a shawn video, i click
the scream at the beginning. felt.
It's a coincidence that I had just started Another Country yesterday as I had finished Giovanni's Room. I hope Shawn makes a video about his review on this book or about James Baldwin, he's really an amazing author!
He's dedicated that's for sure
shawn set as his alarm tone what we all feel waking up
East of Eden was an absolute revelation for me. Glad you loved it🫂💕
I really like the idea of replacing daily average use of screen to reading, I think I am going to try it this week. thank you Shawn u always light my day up.
This feels insane I should do it but also this is dangerously relatable
When Shawn was explaining what’s the book about, talking about humanity it reminded me of the song Human by Christina Perri😅
thank YOU so much for being here
I’m so glad i’m not the only one that feels this way about My Heart is a Chainsaw 😭 I was feeling crazy trying to read this book hahaha
Leo getting his tail stuck, what a hapless little cutie
Omg I'm dying in my bed because im super sick and seeing a new video literally brought me to live🙏🙏🤲🤲 thank you for this blessing
Pausing everything I’m doing, the king himself has just posted 🏃♀️💨
Shawn is my favorite little creature
In my brat summer era but can't stop that Shawn mccomb grind

A tour of the best spots in bc, canada would be cool😊 with leo 🐶🐕
4:22 i fully thought shawn was gonna say cathy from dance moms
I also have UA-cam playing in the background to battle the loneliness
There’s an East of Eden movie with James Dean that I lovvveeeeeee! I wouldn’t say it’s the exact same vibe as the book, but I still love it
happy shawngust may we be blessed with more shawn
Just randomly clicked on this video with this guy I don’t know and he needs 2 million subscribers.
When you’re home alone and scared and God made you feel safe (by giving you another Shawn McComb video)
OMG ( going feral, foaming at the mouth. I’ve been dying for a new video )
38 minutes of material... what a feast
Happy late birthday leshawna!
ooh cant wait for you read Another Country. changed my life...
comfort channel frfr
the scream movie series are great slashers!! there are six movies i think and i personally love them!
2:15 This is literally what I did, coupled with intense anxiety about running late so I’d leave my house piss early. And now I’m just stuck a ‘morning person.’ If I don’t wake up at 6am I will fucking end it all. Highly recommend ^_^
Starting the video with p!nk blasting gave me whiplash
You represent me every time I wanna do something, you're so iconic ✨
Ughhhhh i need you as an alarm to remind me to read…I’ve been on crime and punishment for like three months.
i wanna see a reading while flipping in the air like P!nk video
oh watch Scream. Also I relate to the not being able to watch movies thing and you're the first person who I've seen has that problem too!
me when im a brat but i also like reading brat books
Not me watching this doom scrolling on my phone; definitely also redeveloped my phone addiction this year, while also having the worst reading year 🙃
Slasher is SO GOOD
drinking coffee while watching shawn is like drinking double the coffee
my life is a mess but… i could watch shawn 🎀
The razor’s edge is one of my favs
I LOVE a tale for the time being, I just read ittttt
bro thats crazy
i feel like you would like braid (2019) based on the horror movies you said you liked. also longlegs which just came out seems up ur alley. if you want more of a straight up slasher try halloween, nightmare on elm street, and scream
0:54 if i ain’t drinking my iced coffee like that then i don’t want et😜😜😜
10:43 you kinda look like Jacob Elordi in this shot omg
