Talk:The Terrible Tale of Mrs Blunden/@comment-34462591-20180125060111

I'm not trying to be mean but I really didn't like it. It's not without any merit, it's competently written. It just lacks realism for me. Not because things like this didn't really happen -- they did. It's subtle things like the fact that you never gave Mrs. Blunden a first name, or take this sentence: " Today, the exact location of Mrs Blunden's tomb is unknown, but the story certainly seems to be true." That's sloppy like something you would read in a chain letter. Another thing, what's with all the fat shaming? All we know about this character is that she's fat and gross (presumably because of her fatness) and apparently has no first name. The bizarre tone the she's "so fat she's buckling the wood we placed her casket on" bit was particularly off-putting. I felt like I was reading something from the fat guy strangler on Family Guy. Also, as an aside, the etymologies of the two phrases you mention are both incorrect.
