To tide y’all over until the bracket is finished, here’s a list of every fandom in the tournament! Sorted by when each got its first submission.

It takes time to make the bracket cuz I gotta arrange all of these to be at least semi-equal in popularity to each other, and then make all the edited photos. I’ve been rather busy lately, but it should be up by tomorrow night :)

A Paperback Comparison

Modern Penguin paperbacks

vs.

Vintage Penguin paperbacks

vs.

Oxford paperbacks

—————————————————————————————————————

As we can very well see, the vintage paperbacks (Le Morte D’Arthur included) put a greater emphasis on the artwork of the book—from the selected painting to represent the publication to the placement and choice and font type and where they placed their logo therein. The modern Penguin paperbacks places their logo now in an almost lace binding the book as if you are buying their brand rather than the work. Even the new Oxford paperback is nearly mirrouring a print-on demand Amazon sludge book. The craft of paperback died when the scourge of bookmaking came at the advent of the internet, and furtherances of the maligned, soul-sucking device like the eBook or Online Libraries. The system would like to take more power away from the Hand of Man. Thus making a cheaper product which advertises the brand over the work of art.

—————————————————————————————————————

Book listing:

“The 120 Days of Sodom” by The Marquis de Sade, 2016 print

“The Three Theban Plays: Antigone, Œdipus the King, Œdipus at Colonus” by Sophocles, tr. Robert Fagles (1984), unkown print (but definitely 2010s)

“The Romance of Tristan” by Beroul, 1987 print by Penguin

“The Song of Roland” tr. Dorothy Sayers, 1984 print

“Le Morte Darthur: The Winchester Manuscript” by Syr Thomas Malory, tr. Helen Cooper, 1998 print

“Justine, or the Misfortunes of Virtue” by The Marquis de Sade, tr. John Philips, 2012 print

35, 54, and 87!

35. How are you feeling right now?

physically fine; mentally dreading all the cleaning I need to do before my cousin comes over for Sad Bitch Thanksgiving tomorrow; secret, second level of mental feeling is very tired and run down.

54. What would you tell your 12 year old self?

you need to eat more and maybe try drama classes because that Antigone monologue is going to stick with you more than you realize and there's nothing wrong with you and I love you very much

87. Meaning behind your blog name?

fair warning that this is a very dated story and is going to sound weird.

I met one of the Tunisian student leaders of the Arab Spring in late 2011/early 2012 after a panel discussion at my university. I do not remember this guy's name but we had a immediate, really intense connection and the conversation went on for over an hour, just sitting and talking until we got kicked out of the building. we were talking about organizing online and the importance of this website called Twitter, which I had heard about a bit. one of the things he said was that Twitter had "eggs and trolls" and I thought it was corny but special because it was something said just for me by a person who felt very special and made me feel equally special. we left the building and I walked one way and he walked the other way and that was it. I think I signed up for tumblr that week at the suggestion of some friends (hi Annie!) suggested it and. here we are. there are other phrases that are more meaningful but it's interesting to have an 11-year reminder of an encounter that lasted less than four hours.

The mention of Anti-gone in your new chapter made me only think of Ninjago vs Antigone fandom stuff that’s been going on

Do you think if the TMNT 2012 turtles had access to Ninjago would they like it?

I'm being so dead ass I didn't even see that until after I posted the chapter

I think they would tbh. A tmnt and ninjago crossover would go crazy bc the turtles would be like "why wouldn't you just kill Lord Garmadon that would make your lives so much easier" and then Lloyd would be like "He's my dad I don't want to kill him" and Karai is like "I've tried killing both my father figures, it's not that bad"

[bettygemma]

In no order, here are my reading highlights for 2023

Best literary page turner (LPT)

This is a tie between 'I have some questions for you' by Rebecca Makkai and 'Birnam Wood' by Eleanor Catton. Both about moral quandaries of some sort, both really well written and extremely readable.

Best fantasy

'Babel' by R. F. Kuang. After I finished Babel I had to stare into the void for a little while to recover. One of the questions the book asks is, is it actually possible for those with power to be truly friends to those without power, and it answers pretty firmly in the negative. Which I remember being sad and sceptical about when I first read the book in August but now, on this side of the Voice to Parliament Referendum, it feels extremely prescient (*laughs bitterly*).

Best Australian fiction

'Love and Virtue' by Diana Reid. Also best campus novel of the year (I read lot of them in 2023 coincidentally!) I was devastated to end this book, not only because parts of this novel are set in my home town #representation but more importantly its genuinely brilliant and empathetic and recognisable. Also has multiple moral quandaries.

Best retelling

'Home Fire' by Kamila Shamsie which is a retelling of Antigone. I knew nothing about Antigone going in so found it super intense and surprising. Just like 'Love and Virtue ' I could have spent a hundred more pages with these characters.

Best Lenten read

'Passage' by Connie Willis. Willis is now probably my second favourite writer after Dorothy Sayers, and this book is up there as one of her greats, along with 'Doomsday Book' and 'To Say Nothing of the Dog'. A book to read to when death is near and you are in need of hope.

Best memoir

'Educated' by Tara Westover. Also wins the prize for being the book that made me the most thankful for my parents and for them sending me to a normal public school (honourable mention for this prize goes to 'I'm glad my mom died' by Jennette McCurdy').

Best feminist read

'Wifedom' by Anna Funder. Part biography of Eileen O'Shaughnessy, part novel, part memoir, this book is possibly the best investigation of the toll domestic inequality has on women I've read for a number of years. Read it if you're interested in biography and women's history and the literary canon. In one of the many passages that jumped out at me, after praising her husband for his modernity and equal mindedness, Funder writes:

"This was not enough to protect me. The patriarchy was too huge, and I was too small or stupid, or just not up for the fight. The individual man can be the loveliest, the system will still benefit him, without him having to lift a finger or a whip or change the sheets. This is the story I tell against myself. And against the system that made this self, as well as my husband's, and the system that put her into his service. Wifedom is a wicked magic trick we have learned to play on ourselves."

I mean??!?!

And finally, Book I recommended the most

'This is not a book about Benedict Cumberbatch' by Tabitha Carvon. I hyped this book to nearly every woman I know. Extremely funny if you were in Tumblr in 2012 or have ever participated in any fandom. A great companion read to 'Wifedom'. May it inspire you to find joy.

I've been asked (hi there, @notasapleasure) to say what I think about the movie Wet Sand / სველი ქვიშა (2021, dir. Elene Naveriani) once I see it. I watched it recently and actually like to share my feelings with someone so...

My impressions follows:

Inspiration by the greatest ancient classics such as Antigone by Sophocles in modern popular culture is rare and always welcomed

Even more praise for showing love among elderly people - which somehow needs even more courage than showing young queers

I believe if the movie was more mainstream this jacket would go viral

Making the same actor saying similar text as in And Then We Danced seemed somewhat cheap to me at first, but then I thought it was kind of winking to ATWD fans: "Hello, we know you're there!" - so okey, that was kind of nice...

...and besides obvious similarity - the line still sounded different due to its intentions and conditions. So might it be condidered some kind of polemic with ATWD line even?

I really liked the way the title never was explained directly "in your face" - yet somewhere in the end you are shown a wave coming and going over the sand: leaving it wet, then slowly drying, then wet again, and again, repeatedly... And suddenly you realise how much it fitted the character's life

I wonder if the girl's comment on the photo (that was not itself shown to the audience) was a hint of that person being trans? (it was something like "beautiful as his mother" but I don't remember exactly)

The scene with the letter and the wine bottle has the potential to make me cry my eyes out everytime I think about it... (because yeah I definitely needed to elongate my "sob-on-demand" list, thank you movie makers...)

Yes of course I am going to compare Wet Sand and And Then We Danced even though such comparison can ONLY be justified by the fact that those are only two georgian movies I know and both happen to be queer

Best thing is that those are two very different and independent stories😋

I've seen some reviews complaining that in ATWD there were too many social issues at once, suggesting like it was forced or something... But it is Wet Sand that is literally overfilled with those, not only homophoby but also domestic violence and generally intolerance and prejudice toward everyone and everyone a bit different than the rest of the conservative community.

And no matter the kind of "happy ending" that was in Wet Sand and not so much in ATWD (more "open ending" it was than a "happy" one) - still to me ATWD felt a tiny bit more hopeful. Alright, the film concentrating on death and funeral obviously had no chances of being overall optimistic. Especially when ATWD was showing the point of view of joyful freeminded young people who still have hopes and chances for the better life before them. And we were not shown any really terrible scenes there, only hearing about poor Zaza, like it was just gossip and not a person of flesh and bones. Also I think when living in the capital city one may count on more support from community of people alike - simply because the community is larger and stronger than a tiny group of "outcasts" in the province can ever be.

There's a short description of Wet Sand on IMDB using a phrase "friendly people" and now after watching the movie it makes me feel sick to see it...🤢

...especially as some of the most terrifying acts of those "friendly people" so much reminded me of Aftermath / Pokłosie (2012) dir. Władysław Pasikowski...

...but still one of their most horrible actions - accidentaly turned out to be the right thing to do - so that was kind of a spark (nomen omen) of hope

So generally it was a good movie. Maybe not a great one. But definitely GOOD.

And, when I think about it, it reminds me of so many other good and great movies I know and would gladly recommend to anyone interested (most of them also being on my "sob-on-demand" list BTW)

Organising funeral of a lonely man a bit like in Still life (2013, dir. Uberto Pasolini)

A story about relationship and loss seems like a reversed version of the one shown in A Single man (2009, dir. Tom Ford) (my very favorite queer-themed movie before watching ATWD, now my second favorite)

Of course a bit of similarity to Brokeback Mountain (2005) dir. Ang Lee as well

And The Bridges of Madison County (1995) dir. Clint Eastwood too...

Departures / Okuribito (2008) dir. Yôjirô Takita is a similar not only because of the burial theme but also the atmosphere. No kidding, when watching Wet Sand I felt like watching a japanese movie, only with strangly not-japanese looking actors in it.

And that will be it for now.

What is it about that Antigone production you like? Asking as someone who doesn't really know the play or wtf Jodie Whittaker is doing in it.

Finally....the question I've been waiting for....

For me, it was just a perfect storm. Despite my love of Greek myths and adaptations, prior to this production, I had never ventured into greek theater. I wiiiish I could tell you what brought this production to me in the first place, but in 2020 I watched it for the first time and....Man it was just truly life changing theater. Every word just felt crafted to appeal to my specific tastes: Tragic, Complex relationships between siblings, Questioning of State and Authority, Compelling dynamic between Divinity and Man!

Oh, and Jodie...my God. The text is strong but from the moment Antigone beings to speak I was so taken by her. My pinned gifset takes place not even 10 minutes into the play and is the exact moment I fell in love with the show itself and Jodie as a performer. Jodie Wittaker's Antigone is a perfect Immoveable Object to Christopher Eccleston's Unstoppable Force. The righteousness of her anger and love makes me honest to God lightheaded. It kind of has to be seen to be believed. Like she's only in 3 scenes and yet captures the audience with every second. Perhaps I'm extremely biased, but it astounds me every time I read someone say that Antigone is un-relatable or even an unlikable character, and even more aghast when someone would voice disdain for Jodie's performance!

Alas, as someone who is an extremely hard headed, self-righteous and confrontational youngest sibling- It's no shocker to see why I'm constantly collecting characters who fit that bill for my collection

#not mentioned is that this show to me is so deeply a police brutality story so you can imagine my absolutely delight to learn about #2019's Antigone which left me in absolute shambles #I think a lot of my love boils down to Recognition of the Self which yk...draw your own conclusions #truly thank you for asking im always trying to trap people into asking me about this play LOL #antigoneposting #char.txt #antigone 2012 #answered

Soirée Fantastique

Houdini arrived first, with Antigone on his arm. Someone should have told her it was rude to chase my brother in circles with such a shiny shovel. She only said, I'm building the man a funeral. But last I measured, my brother was still a boy. 　　The doorbell chimes and chimes. 　　Other guests come in and out, snorting, mouths lathered, eyes spinning like Spyro Gyros. They are starving, bobbing their big heads, ready for a party. They keep saying it too, Man, we're ready for a party! In their glorious twirl and dervish, none of them notices this is no dinner party. This is a jalopy carousel—and we are 　　dizzy. We are 　　here to eat the horses. There are violins playing. The violins are on fire— they are passed around until we're all smoking. Jesus coughs, climbs down from the cross of railroad ties above the table. He's a regular at these carrion revelries, and it's annoying how he turns the bread to fish, especially when we have sandwiches. 　　I've never had the guts 　　to ask Jesus, Why? Old Houdini can't get over 'em—the hole in each of Jesus' hands— he's smitten, and drops first a butter knife, then a candelabra through the gaping in the right hand. He holds Jesus' left palm up to his face, wriggles his tongue through the opening, then spits. says, This tastes like love. He laughs hysterically, Admit it Chuy, 　　between you and me, 　　someone else is coming. Antigone is back, this time with the green-handled garden spade. Where is your brother? she demands. She doesn't realize this is not my brother's feast—he simply set the table. Poor Antigone. Bury the horses, instead, I tell her. What will we eat then? she weeps, not knowing weeping 　　isn't what it used to be, not here. 　　Poor, poor Antigone. I look around for Houdini to get her out of here. He's escaped. In the corner, Jesus covers his face with his hands— each hole an oubliette—I see right through them: None of us belong here. I'm the only one left to say it. I ease the spade from her hand. I explain: 　　We aren't here to eat, we are being eaten. 　　Come, pretty girl. Let us devour our lives.
