Happy Meat Day
Peter S. Beagle I will love you until the day I die
i want to chuck this man into the sun
yeah it isnt even a have you read the book as much as "have you seen anything frankenstein related"
i've had pencil boy on block for a grip now, but: any thoughts on bluesky culture based around his treatment needs to factor in that he is a former SA goon, a true to-the-death poster, and would act like this anywhere. you could dump him into a warrior cats RP forum and he'd do the same shit

listening to heart shaped bed today and this whole album hits me where few others do lately
Nicole Dollanganger was so real for "I don't wanna be your girl I wanna be your gun"
anyway people are being weird about Lindsay Ellis again and while it’s fine to find her whole thing kind of grating, I think that painting her charity effort here as a cynical way to become un-cancelled is fucking bizarre and you should log off.
man, people talking about famous YouTubers/internet personalities as though they know them personally is so deeply creepy “They are my NEMESIS” do they have any fucking idea who you are? “I know just what they’re going through” you don’t, that’s a stranger

Yup
Every conservative principle that could have merit is already represented in the mainstream Democratic Party, not to mention fully abandoned by conservatives themselves. What's left? Bigotry, sadism, tantrums over corporate logos. This is what you're trying to find common ground with

… I wish I could tell Kai Ashanti Wilson, personally, that this is one of the most beautiful fantasy novellas I’ve ever read. It’s everything I want fantasy to be: strange, mystical, visceral, romantic in flesh and spirit, dense with suggestion and playful misdirection… and gay as hell.
Of course once it got out, his company took the hit. What a donkey.
these rich fucks cant even pretend to be normal for two seconds in public
to this day i have no idea why he did that. the guy was a real odd one.
it wasnt until the other party member was being dragged off that he was like "ohhhh shiiiitttt"
one of them stole an artifact so they got rounded up by the inquisition and interrogated one by one. the intent was to scare them. one of them would not shut up and just blabbed all their secrets for no reason. didnt even have to torture him, he was just talking away like they were pals
it wasnt even malicious they were just really stupid.
previous parties have let npc get torched in his own home sold each other out to the church for no discernible reason
so this being the third time ive attempted to run my dark fantasy campaign and this is the first time the party started a mob riot to save an npc's father from the church and then begun engaging in acts of terrorism i think this party might do okay
i miss making people mad for speaking the truth but i also don't
👀
that sounds like my shit
This review correctly notes that the thing that makes this novel really special in the current moment is how much the main character sucks at the beginning of the novel, and how much the novel's sympathies are with her no matter how badly she fucks up, how spineless or self-absorbed she can be, etc
i gotta read these
Ok let's talk about Gretchen Felker Martin's latest www.patreon.com/posts/black-...

i need this ass to become a shelf i can balance books on so they better!
We tried to tell people this would happen! And the further you go from sites that attempt to follow laws, the more likely you are to encounter content that was either filmed or uploaded without consent It actually creates MORE sexual abuse & exploitation
leg day today
oh shi gotta read this!
"It was the only genre that made sense for how I saw the world" is a beautiful way to describe horror
Anyway, @typebarmagazine.bsky.social had this to say about today's sci-fi discourse a year ago, and people in publishing got incandescently angry about it www.typebarmagazine.com/2024/03/24/n...

gonna say it now i dont think xmen 97 did this arc justice
The trick to being a new York times journalist is to have spent your formative years huffing spray paint. Only the most dedicated spray paint huffers get those prestigious jobs. It takes time, dedication, and a lot of spray paint to get to the top.
I think some jerk recently wrote an essay about just this thing for some magazine or something. Maybe toss Typebar a buck and give it a read. It's not the best video game essay in the issue, but it's the one that shades the most Kotaku/Aftermath writers. www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/c...
Harrison does this in Viriconium, and allegedly would introduce contradictions between stories and novellas so that the world would defy any attempt at categorization. And he is so good at sentence structure you hardly notice it happening cause you're too swept up in what's being described.
this is the vibe i hit when i write space opera
i need you to get to the simian labor union
you're welcome!
I actually don't think you need to know the answer so much as you need to make the audience think you do. Literary sleight of hand. The power of suggestion and implication.

And like initially you might assume the nameless things are the Balrog and no, no Gandalf talks about how the Balrog got spooked by them when he came back. We don't know what those things are. They were here before anything else. We never learn much else about them.
Another thing about LOTR I find interesting is for all of the obsession Tolkien imitators have with world building a lot of Middle Earth is painted in broad strokes of *implication* The nameless things in the deep are never elaborated on. They're referenced once in passing by Gandalf.
Scooby? Shaggy? Oh my god, Daphne! Frederick! Oh my god! Where is everybody? *shaking my boobs in mortal terror* Is it a man in a mask or is it actually aliens?!

cops sitting at a donut shop to make sure kids don't draw gay stuff with chalk our state is run by a cartoon villain
you opened up with war of the roses not fair
with a particular set of economic policies the US went from the depths of the great depression to dominant global superpower, subsequently the entire mainstream political spectrum resolved to never do anything like that ever again
the pacing of it is pretty slow but also the big fly around sequence of the enterprise works for me so i'm ok with it and regardless of rodenberry's footnote the "this simple feeling" scene comes across as extremely gay and nothing can take that from us
thank you
I also just have so many feelings about Spock's dramatic goth robes
Star Trek The Motion Picture is probably one of the best looking sci-fi films ever made. I don't think we've ever come close to this.
damn I can't believe that shunning reading, obsessing over corporate fandom, being super racist to Chinese people, and bullying anyone with anything interesting to say failed to nurture a thriving sci-fi literary genre
how soon before this induces another kind of psychosis where a person becomes convinced the soul of the deceased is well and truly brought back through the avatar and then is convinced to suicide by it. how soon before scammers start talking abt how these avatars have knowledge of the other side.
the best way to get out of that is when you find something that you think isn't getting the attention it deserves is to go around grabbing everyone by the lapels screaming "HAVE YOU READ CJ CHERRYH?"
My main literary opinion is that it's good to read widely and deeply. Old books, new books. And read them with a critical eye. You CAN write without doing that, but you'll be better at it if you do.
after a few days of fatigue, i'm finally working on a review for Gretchen Felker Martin's Black Flame. it should hopefully be up for patrons either tomorrow or later this week. in the meantime, give my stuff a look. $1 a month gets you everything www.patreon.com/c/doriandawes
