HELLOOOOOOO???? OMGGGGGG WHY DO MY REVIEWS KEEP DISAPPEARING???
Like, I wanted to put this on Reddit but r/bookshopcryptid banned me because they're like “uuuuhhh Jes, you shouldn't keep posting about your ships” AND LIKE OKAY BUT TEEEEEEECHNICALLY ISN'T THE WHOLE LOVE THING SUUUUPER RELEVANT TO THE WHOLE THING????
Ugh but like, okay, here I am! At-ing @LiviaThan because I'm hoping you see this because I know technically you can't read all your comments on youtube AND THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! Okay, I know I don't sound suuuuuper coherent right now, and I swear I'm gonna pull myself together!!!
BUUUUT LIKE, this is the 3rd try to post this and, like, it doesn't even get deleted, it's more like after 5 minutes it disappears as if I've never even written it??? If I post this often enough, technically there HAAAAVE to be 5 minutes where you happen to see this!?
OKAY! MY THEORY!!! WITH RECEIPTS!!!
So first: AppleJSnek = AppleSerpent = the bookseller's husband with the sunglasses!
Technically, this is super obvious, but I'm gonna mention it anyway because it's gonna be mega important for later.
You have AppleSerpent talking in the comments to AZFell_books as if they know each other preeetty well, like for example in their posts from 2007:
0/10 I came into this shop half an hour ago and I'm being ignored because the proprietor is reading.
Well, if you don't like being ignored, maybe you should consider not arriving an hour early.
Didn't you use to have a different name on this homepage?
Firstly, it's not a โhomeโpage, for Satan's sake. Secondly, did you just downvote my review?? Thirdly, I used to have a different name until this site decided to adopt two-factor-authorization and I can't access my email.
Like, you can see that AppleJSnek admits to changing his username in 2007 and if you go to the profile of AppleSerpent, that account hasn't posted since March of 2006. (Also, the names are suuuuper similar and they have the same icon!)
So then yesterday, AppleJSnek was answering peoples' reviews as if he was the one who served them in the shop. And when I asked someone who was actually there irl, they told me that sunglasses guy was the one selling books at that time!!!
HUH???? WAIT WAS HE WEARING SUNGLASSES AND DRESSED ALL BLACK????
SO!!! APPLEJSNEK AND APPLESERPENT AND HUSBAND = SAME GUY!!!
But what you diiiiidn't know: SUNGLASSES HUSBAND IS ALSO THE NOODLE-PUPPY!!! See, I told you it would become important that AppleJSnek is AppleSerpent and Husband! Okay so the noodle-puppy is first mentioned in 2018...
I asked the shopkeeper if he can get me a book from the upper shelves. He whispered โI can't get up; the little darling has fallen asleep in my lap.โ I thought it was a cat, so I went around his desk to see it, but it was a bloody snake! A disgusting, giant python! Do not go into this shop if you have any regard for your life!
...which is aaaalso the time when, like, a lot of photos on instagram showed up of the noodle-puppy in the shop. Not a single photo showed Husband and the noodle-puppy together!!! EVEN THOUGH you can see the actual sunglasses by the entrance sometimes! :O :O :O SIDE-EYE!!!!
And like, obviously the guy calls himself Serpent and Snek and has a snake tattoo on his face.
AND LIKE, the snake is red and black and Husband has red hair and black clothes!
AND HE HAS A LISP!!! YOU KNOW, LIKE A HISS!!!
Aaaalso, Husband gets suuuper defensive about the noodle-puppy:
yeeeees this is where the noodle-puppy sightings start!
What's with all the insults?!
Now, okay, maybe that's not weird enough for you. And, like, you've all seen the portraits on Reddit of the shopkeeper in 1800 who looks exaaaactly like the bookseller today! You know, with the Keanu Reeves memes! Ooooobviously that's the same guy.
BUT! DID YOU KNOW that Husband was also there? And he is technically also 200 years old? Look at this:
[โฆ] As I cast my eyes upon the exit, another very well accoutred gentleman showed up at the door, bearing what I can only presume was a posy of flowers and a rather sizeable box of chocolates. However, he did not venture inside, for he espied the two other fellows engaged in discourse with the vendor (all of whom were clad in raiment of pure white, as was he - the proprietor - whilst the latest addition to this spectacle was entirely clad in ebony and sported an uncommon pair of dusky-hued spectacles.)
YOU SEE??? THAT'S HIM!!! THEY WERE ALREADY MARRIED AT THIS POINT! This was probably their anniversaryyyyyy :O
And, okay, now you're probably like “Oh but Jes! Technically, people don't live for 200 years!” Yeah I knoooow! Obviously! But, like, technically, they're not human!!!! Because, like, they can go without sleep for 4 weeks:
im not durnk. havnt slept in 4 weeks n my fnigers r hurtng
And they can do MAGIIIIC!!! :O :O :O
[โฆ] And get this โ turns out our missing friend contacted my brother while I was on my way home! Obviously I'm not saying that this bookseller had anything to do with it with some hoodoo or whatnot.
There should be 50 quid in front of your entryway. Now bugger off.
I don't know how you did it, but there really is a 50 pound note here! Thank you. It really was the least you could do.
AND TURN BACK TIME????!!!
Read the room and show a bit of compassion. This shop burnt down just five days ago.
lol what are you on? i was there yesterday
And I knoooow you're gonna say “oooh but that's all not really proof” like this could have been all just coincidence with
โช ๐ AppleJSnek has rated the above review as โHelpfulโ ๐
Well, isn't this absolutely fascinating? You should open a detective agency. Or write a book. You have a way with words.
Oh, and let me help you. Hey @LiviaThan here is something you should definitely give a read. And take a screenshot. Just in case it goes missing.
