i always crack up remembering that he said gay people should resist their urges the same way he has to resist the urges to fuck women who aren't his wife
just an extremely goofy and embarrassing way to frame your homophobia
already hated his ass for the stupid here's how to make a magic system watch my world building tutorial videos nonsense he's made people believe but i actually saw what the prose in his novels looks like the other day and i was appalled. just describing everything like it was a video game pop-up...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mor... these books by c. j. cherryh, the SFF author i'm currently obsessed with!!!
don't let the trashy 70s covers fool you, they're genuinely very good/complex fantasy (that's sci-fi in disguise)
HAVING FUN! ISN'T HARD! WHEN YOU'VE GOT! A LIBRARY CARD! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRTd...
okay i just finished my fourth CJC novel this is fucking crazy...
like i know cherryh is influential and well known *within genre* but it STILL feels like she needs to be talked about way more
i'm reading her morgaine books from the 70s and they're just as sophisticated and insane as her later SF π«
i drive a ford escape but spiritually? this is us

i saw something on tumblr about a scene in the sequel where elhpaba's bi son who has been TFed into an elephant furry starts using his trunk to grope his boyfriend's ass while his boyfriend is explaining to him how he almost got flayed to death while in prison and i was like damn i SHOULD read those
*reads one c. j. cherryh novel* yeah i'm a total cherryhpig
like i enjoy slow stuff and i'm totally used to "this is slow but i like that" but that is NOT how the first act of cyteen feels to me at all to the point it's somewhat hard for me to fathom... it's like the cilantro soap gene
anyway, great book that is going to live in my brain forever nowww π€€
reactions to cyteen are FASCINATING like setting aside whether you like it or not, i've never seen a book where half the readers say "it took 150 pages for anything to happen" while the other half go "150 pages in and this book is so tense and claustrophobic and it just keeps getting worse" before
jane fancher is into BJDs and her favorite is this little house elf creature... who she had outfitted in a custom tux when they finally got married in 2014
obsessed with the photo of the "kid's table" with all her BJDs as well as ones belonging to other guests...
getting invested in lesbian sci-fi author RPF again but this time instead of killing me x10,000 it's making me believe in love
i finished reading cyteen and then learned that it was during the writing of it that CJC and her (one day) wife started calling every night to discuss... and then U-HAULed π₯Ή
LOL the nostalgia stuff is one thing but adult women have been collecting teddy bears and fancy dollies etc. forever (well, probably since the 50s), it seems like a weird thing to suddenly start fearmongering about...
i guess it becomes scary when it's your peers doing it and not your grandma?
love when they have haruki dress like the prototypical teenage lesbian... these outfits are literally "babydyke couple at the mall"
hm, perhaps you can compliment the technical aspects of the artwork or how cute/cool/handsome/epic your oshi looks if they are involved while also indicating that you it is not... how you interpret things
example: "i don't usually go for 1294, but wow, 12 looks so cool there!!!"
as i was dutifully examining the display case of rare peko-chans a woman walked over and said to her friend "my mom used to collect this stuff!"
my old lady taste... π΅ (said proudly)
yeah they made everyone! they're called "γγ‘What!" cuz they can hold stuff
they were pre-order only and kinda pricey (i think about Β₯7000 each?) so a lot of people held off on buying them... and then got FOMO later so their resale value got crazy
here's my mochi SHHis and mochimine... now worth Β₯Β₯Β₯Β₯Β₯
my mochi nichika plush is now worth enough to cover my rent...
and she wasn't even the most expensive mochi in the case! mochi meguru was going for over Β₯150,000
i learned about the precious moments chapel today which is insane in itself but maybe the craziest thing was learning that they have precious moments kigurumi there... finally, american kigurumi
cracked open the joanna russ short story collection i just got and immediately had to close it again upon seeing that she used an alice sheldon quote as the epigraph... π€
they loved each other so much! whatever!
not actually an uklg hater but as someone actively seeks out SF written by women i get annoyed by the fact she's the only female SF author most people seem willing to read for some reason... and i do have to laugh when people try and say she was somehow queer. you haven't read the letters i have!
everyone waxing poetic about the #symbolism of what book she's reading but all i could think about was my friend reading it cuz their GF asked them to and NOT liking it and then them breaking up like two months later and telling me "what the hell was i thinking?"
it really added to the whole vibe π«’
pretty common but it mostly depends on when the building was built, i'd guess that the vast majority of apartments built after 2000 or so would have one
the apartment i work at (built in the late 70s) doesn't have them but where i live (built in the early 00s) does
funny as hell that carol ended up going WAAAY further than baru did re: this. 23 year old dyke vs. 53 year old dyke. truly it's been an honor to have a woman like her on my telly vision and i'm excited to continue seeing her for years to come... everyone should read baru cormorant before next season
sad to see carol sturka be so widely misunderstood because the masses don't know what a "tsundere" is
yeah!!! he directed the music video for don't let's start too
i discovered the connection when i was watching it while planning this video and it blew my mind! like hold on a second i just saw that name somewhere else... all things are delicately interconnected π
i've got a weak heart!
and i don't get around how you get around
(i made a pluribus AMV #pluribus)
as i was saying...
like she's such a freak... the bit in the drugging scene where carol goes "is it making you sad not giving me what i want?" and loopy zosia NODS in response with the biggest puppy dog eyes in the world is some of the craziest dyke shit i ever seen on my TV
