"I like the in-betweenness of up and down, of being on the earth and of the heavens. I think that's where poetry should dwell, between the dream world and the given world, because you don't just want photography, and you don't want fantasy either." Seamus Heaney

There's something funny about thinking how Neo absolutely hates Atlas because of how cold it is lol

At least in my Neo's case, it was a very good excuse to try and get closer to Cinder to find warmth, but yup, at least my Neo hates the extreme cold of Solitas lol

Christos Tsiolkas Explores Love and Identity in New Novel The In-Between

Renowned Australian author Christos Tsiolkas, celebrated for works like ‘The Slap’ and ‘Barracuda,’ has unveiled his newest literary creation, ‘The In-Between.’ In this emotionally charged narrative, two mature gay men, Perry and Ivan, forge an unexpected connection in Melbourne, grappling with the intricate web of love and identity.

A Tale of Mature Love and Resilience

Perry, a Greek-Australian man in his fifties, returns to Melbourne after a European academic stint, while Ivan, a Serbian-Australian landscaper, carries the baggage of a past relationship. Their paths intersect through an online date, catalyzed by the lifting of Covid lockdowns. Both bear the scars of previous relationships, yet they decide to take a chance on love.

Navigating the Challenges of Love

Despite their compelling reasons to remain guarded, Perry and Ivan embark on a remarkable journey together. Love blooms, but so do their defense mechanisms and the fear of repeating past mistakes. Tsiolkas delves deep into their psyches, creating characters who are relatable and multi-dimensional.

A Unique Narrative Structure

‘The In-Between’ unfolds in five chapters, each spanning a day and night, a year apart. It commences with Perry’s jittery preparations for their first date. Tsiolkas skillfully explores the nuances of love, delving into whether two individuals with differing beliefs and opinions can truly find a connection.

Eros and Identity

The novel’s erotic scenes are pivotal, highlighting the significance of sensuality in the lives of Perry and Ivan. Tsiolkas underscores how, in their generation, gay intimacy was marred by illegality and shame, yet it served as a profound means of connection.

The Struggles of an “In-Between” Generation

Perry and Ivan represent an “in-between” generation, where the evolving norms of the younger world feel somewhat unfamiliar. Holding hands in public, a simple expression of affection for the younger generation, remains a conscious act for them. Tsiolkas adeptly explores themes of masculinity and identity through these gay characters, shedding light on the complexities of being a man in today’s society.

As ‘The In-Between’ takes readers on a poignant journey of love and self-discovery, Christos Tsiolkas continues to cement his place as a compelling voice in LGBTQ literature. His latest work challenges societal perceptions and invites readers to reflect on the enduring power of love, even in the face of adversity.

[ID: On a deep purple background orange words write, “When I wake up in a good mood for no reason, is that you? When I feel a pulse move through me like an electrical fire, is that you? I would like to think we can share these mode of biology the same way we share pixels on the screen. I would like to think regardless of the ether between us, together we can experience, even if in a semi-spectral sort of way, what it means to be human.”

an autistic aroace woman struggling with being told she’s not capable of parenting her son has to go on the run from his violent and dangerous fae father when he starts exhibiting magic

#In-Between #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is......cool idea barely comprehensible writing #i know ive said this about a couple books i read recently but this one was. yeah #plot is all over the place and clunky and the character motives keep changing #awkward dialogue #awkward handling of dark topics (flashback to her very violent SA very suddenly) #(actual SA not on page but the violent grabbing beforehand) #the plot is wrapped up extremely quickly like this should have been a whole trilogy #also there is no way she is the most fit to be regent lol #the aroaceness is like. not bad but because of the bad writing it's talked about weirdly #alsoactually they’re elves and don’t have pointy ears which is boring i’m calling them fae bc that’s a more accurate frame of reference lol #again there's like. cool ideas and concept? the shifting between worlds is interesting.

Expertise can't help you here.

#dungeon meshi #kabru #laios touden #falin touden #Happy Thistle Thursday once again. Have I been holding on to this comic for several weeks? Sure have! #I forgot how long it takes for Chimera Falin to come into play. #I still really love my 'better drawn' art of her - unfortunately it was several weeks too early for the anime only folks. #Slowly getting the hang of drawing Laios. I don't know why I struggle so much but I am getting...somewhere. #Meta time: God damn I love how the chimera shows off the expertise and gap between Kabru and Laios. #The truth is: they are both *right* and they are both *wrong*. #This creature is a combination of monster and human and they only have the skillset to deal with one of those. #Kabru goes for all the human vitals - but she isn't human. #Laios tries to approach her as a monster and is struck down by the humanity he sees in her. #She is something new that defies what they *both* understand about the world. And that makes her such a perfect antagonist. #The damsel was the dragon all along! #...She is really so cute though. Terrifying! But adorable. I am so excited to see the boom of fanart for her.

every genius who thinks mandatory two-factor authentication is a good idea should be forced to do tech support for a public library that serves a lot of elderly poor people

#there is a lot of crossover between people who don't have reliable access to a cell phone #and people who need to check their email at a public library pc #WHO KNEW??
