so if you've never heard of fight club, first of all good. that means nobody broke the first or second rules to you. well before me anyway.
Fight Club is a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk in the grand old year of 1996. It follows this guy, whose real name we don't know until presumably the second book (there's a second book??) as he navigates insomnia, brokeness, crashing cancer support groups, his house blowing up, starting a cult, you know how it is. All with his bestie westie Tyler Durden who runs a fight club at the local bar. There's also a movie that's apparently a cult classic for the 2000s? I have yet to watch it.
NGL at the start of the book, like first page, I knew for a fact those two were intimate. Again I've never watched the movie but there's no setup in my mind that's not even the tiniest bit fruity about that first scene (yk when you don't actually know how deep those two are connected). Like come on, his gun in your mouth?? The knowing things just 'cause Tyler knows?? "I want Tyler"???? "ownership"???? alright let me shut up about this.
Anyway so we get a long thing of context for that scene (the whole book almost) that starts with joe's lack of a name ugly crying into a guy's chest. Okay but like seriously tho bros at some testicular cancer support group because he wants to hit rock bottom for some catharsis or whatever??? He does this with a million other terminal illness groups. And then he meets Marla who does the same and suddenly that's a bad thing because these are My Emotional Support Support Groups.
But yeah then [ERROR:FILE CORRUPTED]
