I’m sorry for the people here for the memes and posts. The bio says “personal” so that was to be expected, but posting will be erratic and ranty for a while I fear

Here, have the best thing of this week

Oh, hey! The locus 2023 recommendation reading list is here

I will see shit like this and think “oh just like Xenophon’s Anabasis”. And I will think “the boring research you did for your literature class with most boorish professor ever know to man really stuck with you all those years uh”. And I will think “the sense of wonder is something so universal, so ingrained with us that you can find it in classic literature written 3k years ago and it will resonate even today uh”. But mostly I think “yes, yes, you prententious prick of a brain, now drink your coffee”

It’s official, I’ve been with my gf for more than half my life today

Back at it again with my soldiergender blorbo

I lovelovelove how TJ Kingfisher writes trauma, how she presents you these sensible, down to earth, capable protagonists who are deeply scarred and whose mind won’t ever be the same after what happened to them.

And that’s almost expected when you’re writing horror, but she does it so well even in fantasy, and romance, and children books

Stamattina a colazione stavo parlando di una fanartist su Twitter (as one does) e ho detto “sai è pure italiana, e ha un patreon e pensavo-“ mi ha guardato negli occhi e detto serissima “tesoro, è tuo dovere morale sostenere l’eccellenza italiana” e ho riso così tanto che potrei valutarlo davvero
