in lieu of a commonplace book: holiday edition
monday, dec 5, 2022 ~ 9pm ----> thursday, dec 22, 2022 ~ 4pm ---->
saturday, dec 24, 2022 ~ 4pm
i’ve had this one languishing in drafts for so long that it’s now a holiday ilcb! stay warm out there, get yourself something nice to drink and light a candle or two or three, i am sending you a hug and a far-too-long post.
reading brrr what did i just finish. when i first drafted this post it was wintering by katherine may. fine premise, i generally accept her point about life inevitably having periods of winter and learning from them. i like the creativity of her different chapter topics. i am tepid to cool about the mix of research and creative writing, mostly because it wasn’t as scientific as i would have liked, and the bits of memoir turned me off at first. i’ve been reading more nonfiction the last few weeks, so i’m also here to report that index, a history of by dennis duncan was quite entertaining for being a book about a piece of book apparatus, and it will probably be a source of many good party facts for the next few months. i began listening to it as an audiobook though, and i must say the melifluous narrator’s voice was a) very entertaining because he had a really hard time with the latin and b) did his best with the fact that many of the examples in a book about indexes (indices?) were just lists of things and page numbers. switching back to print was a good move, imho.
book of the month and possible new entry in my top ten of the year, though, was the goblin emperor by katherine addison, which housemate G gave me as an early christmas present and which was absolutely my shit, between the shakespearean language and the shakespearean court intrigue. the emotional weight of a character shifting from the formal ‘we’ to the informal ‘i’ midsentence! the gradual building of a totally new world and language system! all the supporting cast coming to love the main character in ways that he can’t quite believe but which are clear to the reader! it reminded me of the best bits of the hands of the emperor in that way, and it ranks alongside that one as far as being ‘books that i didn’t want to end.’ the name of the ‘untheileneise’ court is evocative of ‘unseelie’, ever so slightly, and the flavor combination of reading this while also watching the d20 show mentioned below has been delectable.
watching couple of different contenders for this topic, surprisingly, between continuing to watch bossam: steal the fate with @hematiterings and fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood with @hematiterings and @pep-squad-lizzie, and having watched crouching tiger, hidden dragon and 20 minutes of a random episode of the white lotus on the plane, or now having been at my parents’ for a minute having started enjoying miss scarlet and the duke and three pines with them. on my own, though, it’s been dimension 20-- i bought a year’s subscription for myself as a present, and the entire visual and storytelling aesthetic of a court of fey and flowers has been hitting so right. i love aabria’s dm style, i thought this during exandria unlimited too (and i just did a cursory search of ilcb posts to make sure i haven’t said this already?? if i have please forgive me)-- there’s a richness and glitter to her narration and the details she chooses to highlight. and everyone in this group is doing such a great job, i’m in ep 2 ‘the great hart hunt’ right now and just, the different strategies each of the characters has selected to solve the puzzle, the combination of more court intrigue with humor and whatever earnest emotion peeps out sometimes, plus the slightly-different-but-equally-creative take on goblins from brennan and k.p. hobb here as opposed to the goblin emperor (they both have emotive ears!) is very good to me, personally.
listening mostly podcasts, if i’m honest. i put on an 8-hours-of-gentle-christmas-carols yule log youtube video today, but really i’ve been listening most to the WBUR podcast last seen when doing dishes or cooking or otherwise getting the streets of this city back under my feet. the episode on the jewel heist is where i started, while the one on chinese pie / pâté chinois and the franco-american/quebecois in new england gave me an emotion. this evening, though, there will be christmas music and yes that is a threat.
playing more stardew (while enjoying fey and flowers in the other window) but i’ve decided i can start a new game for a new year! while i work out how to download things from the itch.io bundle i bought literally two years ago, and scroll through the under $10 section on steam’s sale, recommendations are welcome. things i’m intrigued by: spiritfarer! a dragon age? i do not have a gaming laptop, a desktop computer, or a good gaming rig in any sense, and i will be choosing based entirely on Vibes (art / music / tone / narrative / writing etc), but input and suggestions are always welcome! also i tried to teach my dad 2048 and it went about as well as i could have hoped. also i asked for a zelda DS game for christmas like it’s 2013.
making there was a lot that could have gone into this section over the last few weeks, if i’d posted it when i initially started thinking about it-- i hung a poster! remounted a shelf! and now have dried orange slices for last-minute ornaments and made many (MANY) molasses-ginger cookies, and am in the process of mulling apple juice (california apparently not believing in proper cloudy apple cider). we’re travelling to see family the day after boxing day, so any real holiday baking will probably happen once we’re there, rather than being made now and then having to be frozen or eaten all in a rush-- so nothing to report on the bread / pie / candy front. yet. CIDER UPDATE: it tastes like hot apple juice. luckily irish coffee is also an option now.
working on but it’s christmas! i hear you cry. yes, and all free time is time you could be working on your journal piece, i reply. i’ve also been grinding through RAship hours before the end of the year, even though my contract continues until the end of april, because the more i can get done now the easier the spring will be. also i’m reading some diss chapters for a friend (self-serving also because his topic is close enough to mine that i can call this research!) and working on a letter of support for a prof who’s been good to me over the years and who is up for a teaching award. my journal piece is a cleaned-up version of a talk i gave, so really it’s a question of prettying-up the footnotes and inserting better citations, and trying to make it Good Enough while not too different / not rewriting it entirely. what does this actually look like? hell if i know, but unless someone gets back to me about image permissions it’s a moot point anyway. happy new year to me.

18: Which character from a book is the most like you?
30: Who’s your favorite author?
40: Name one of your favorite books from your teenage years
18. which character from a book is the most like you?
i know i've said this recentlyish on here but i did 100% base my personality on lizzie bennet when i was 16 and read pride and prejudice. it's difficult to pick anyone else because i mostly read fantasy and i am Nothing like those people lmao
30. who's your favourite author?
oooh this is tricky!! i love and adore tolkien so it's probably him but it also feels like a bit of a copout to say him (not really sure why but it does). however, i also don't feel super comfortable saying anyone else because i haven't read enough of their books. like fonda lee, robin hobb and silvia moreno-garcia are all so very important to me but i've read less than half of their catalogues so i could be wrong about saying they're my favs
i think i'm overthinking this lmao i'm gonna just say jrr tolkien
40. name one of your fav books from your teenage years
i was a teenager during the vampire and dystopia ya glory days so i feel obliged to say vampire academy (specifically frostbite) for the former and hunger games (catching fire my beloved) for the later

Visual artist and an animator with a Fine Arts degree by University of Seville and a Master’s degree in Animation by University of the Arts London.
Since 2008, her work has been exhibited in several locations in Spain, as well as Athens, Vienna and Lisbon.
Currently based in London where she has produced her firsts animation films using drawing as essential part of her works.
Director statement: ‘In Our Skin is a film about the beauty of the female body. Through the freckles on the protagonist’s back the viewer is taken to a world of morphing bodies. The simplicity of the line drawing brings us closer to almost abstract forms while describing forms, volumes of the body and folds in the skin. The title refers to the idea of the true self, In your skin you are who you really are. By the gesture of undressing followed by the entrance to the world of the skin, I aimed to highlight the exceptional and extraordinary from a routine gesture and create a connection with feelings and sensations available to us every day of our lives but often overlooked.’

BRUTALLY HONEST OPINIONS ON: Chidi/Eleanor (TGP), Wyndolls (WE), Brandon/Callie (The Fosters), Beadick (NMTD), Lizzie/Darcy (LBD)
Chidi/Eleanor
SO WHOLESOME, LITERAL SOULMATES! I’m so excited to see more of Chidi’s life in Season 3 and watch them grow back together again.
They just make each other better people and what more could you want from a ship than that? Chidi becomes braver and more confident in his craft; Eleanor becomes motivated by love, kindness, and justice instead of selfishness, bitterness and fear.
I love how no matter what version of reality they are in, they always are there for one another–>“He always helped you.”
Wyndolls
They deserved better. Dolls was sweet and gentle and didn’t judge Wynonna unfairly or throw her mistakes back in her face. Wynonna never gave up on him and fought to rescue him when it put her in danger. They were vulnerable and soft with each other when to the outside world they couldn’t be.
TBH I was so hoping the baby was his, it would have been a really interesting kink in their “so what are weeeeeee” relationship.
Brandon/Callie
So dysfunctional. So toxic.
Honestly, I hated Brandon as a character. He was so selfish and never had a lasting consequence for a damn thing in his life. Brandon had so much safety and privilege that Callie didn’t, and still took way too long to actually accept that being together would fuck up her life beyond repair. He behaved in petty and cruel ways out of jealousy whenever she was with someone else, even though he cheated on multiple girlfriends with her. She had to beg him to let her go so she could have a real family.
And then he blamed the lack of trust and stress of their twisted relationship completely on her, seemingly forgetting that he’s the one who told her “well, too bad” and “that would never happen!” when she told him that acknowledging their feelings would put her and Jude at risk.
They both pushed each other’s boundaries constantly and used the other whenever they couldn’t cope with the stressful and painful elements of their lives, even though it never actually helped and further destroyed their romantic and familial relationships.
I firmly believe that Callie’s relationship with Brandon was a coping mechanism, largely based in the sexual violence and grooming she’d experienced with Liam. It’s fairly common for survivors to replicate situations in which they experienced pain and trauma, only with them being in “control” so as to rewrite the ending. Many use this tactic to purposefully trigger themselves and “get it over with”, or to process the fear that the trauma will happen again by saying “I have control this time.” It also is a fact that sexual violence survivors are at higher risk for further toxic and abusive relationships.
I believe Callie enacted a relationship with Brandon, who was in the same familial position as Liam but was kinder/safer and not a rapist/grooming her, so as to process her earlier trauma. This clearly didn’t help their relationship be healthier; how could it, with Brandon’s control issues/pushiness + Callie’s wishy-washy reactions to stress and conflict + their mutual lack of self-respect and conflict resolution skills.
TDLR: It was maladaptive coping at best and a toxic mess at worst and I’m so glad the show is over so I don’t have to hear about it anymore.
Beadick
Bea and Bennnnn is perfect #relationshipgoals
Lizzie/Darcy
I loved the LBD’s take on Lizzie as a character. Darcy was a little bland but they had great chemistry and their big kiss was great! I think part of the way Darcy’s personality came off was bc we saw him through Lizzie’s eyes for most of the webseries. I think their relationship was very sweet and we would have been cheated not to have it followed through.
