ARE YOU HUNGRY?

A story about those who revel in the grotesque- about the inherent contradictory nature of dogma- about the red string of fate being pulled so tightly that it strangles. Nothing but meat and candy.

the carnivalesque and Ghost pt 1 of ???

"[The gaping mouth] is, of course, related to the lower stratum; it is the open gate leading downward into the bodily underworld. The gaping mouth is related to the image of swallowing, this most ancient symbol of death and destruction."' (p. 325)

"The medieval public centered its curiosity on [the gaping jaws], expecting the most amusing and comic protagonists to emerge from them." (p. 348)

...Do you think that Mikhail Bakhtin would have Thoughts about the "furry transformation apocalypse" subgenre of fetish fiction as a manifestation of the Carnivalesque?

What was your favorite read of January?

I read 5 books in the month of January. Two review books, one reread, a manga, and a semi-new release. I'm quite proud of my start for the year.

I'd recommend all of these books, but The Whispering Dark was my absolute favorite read this month. So many of my favorite things in one book and Colton Price is my favorite!

Books include: • Wotakoi vol 2 by Fujita • A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske (reread) • Above the Fold by Tamara Girardi (eARC) • The Whispering Dark by Kelly Andrew (favorite!) • Midnight Duet by Jen Comfort (eARC)

Eloise by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight

Eloise, and other bratty rich kids in picture books. (Why do I love some and not others?)

Eloise is a classic 1955 picture book written by Kay Thompson, illustrated by Hilary Knight. Writer Kay Thompson (1909–1998) was also a composer, musician, actress and singer. Illustrator Hilary Knight was born in Hempstead, Long Island, New York, in 1926. Most popular picture books endure because they appeal to a dual audience of children and also to the adults who read it aloud, night after…

Shigaraki laughing wholeheartedly is so so beautiful to me it always reminds of whatever Bakhtin said about carnivalesque laughter and how it destroys conventional word hierarchies and creates new ones I think both the grotesque and destructive aspect fit shigaraki oddly well

#there’s a lot of philosophical and literary theory about laughter but I forgot most of it #but again bakhtin and I are like this 🤞🤞🤞 #shigaraki’s body in the latest chapters ja also very carnivalesque kyaaaa well whatever #I like his laugh it’s one of my fav covers of not my fav #it’s poetic to ME #bnha read #tenko

gotta say, 'poetry recitation as pain management' is not one i was expecting on my just-like-me-fr crawford of lymond bingo card and yet here we are

#it's not even so much the specificity of it that reduced me to awkard helpless laughter (though that is part of it) #because I imagine this is not that uncommon a thing to do #but the way it was DESCRIBED; the MELODRAMA of it all!! #like yes objectively I see what you're going for! but also it feels so hilariously at odds with how this feels in practice #and that contrast is deeply funny to me in an almost carnivalesque sort of way #which is not the effect this scene was aiming for but it sure is the one it achieved #neuxue reads lymond

you can tell i'm too deep into shakespeare studies because i've started developing a mental list of plays that are not good, not bad, but interestingly bad maybe on purpose in a way that makes them somehow loop back around to being good

#the two main ones at the moment being #all's well that ends well #and henry iv part 2 #listen all's well is bad at being a satisfying comedy but it's bad at that on PURPOSE. to me <3 #it's a comedy directed by female desire rather than male desire and helen is fighting tooth and nail not to let the genre break #despite doing things in a very unorthodox way #and bertram is trying soooooo hard to escape the ending but he cannot <3 #but does that make the ending happy? shakespeare voice idk man you decide #and 2h4 (to me) is like. here's how hollow the world is after hotspur died and took chivalry and honour with him #it's all just hollow carnivalesque parodies where there used to be heart #and in both of these cases i think that's really INTERESTING. even if the play isn't necessarily. good. #but i may just be too far into shakespeare loving territory where i'm like 'even the plays that are bad are good actually' #mine

why do so many tiktok dancers try to keep a comically straight face when dancing like do you know how strange this is. no yeah don’t let me know you experience joy as a human being or anything. what

#is this a critique on capitalism or do u just think it looks cooler not to smile #it’s like uncanny valley almost. but damn why should i demand such a big expressive performance from u i guess #abby talks #i think i need to see more weirdo freaks who are into theatrics and the carnivalesque lolol and shit

historical, theoretical, contemporary context

for. over a year now. I have been working on this document my uni calls a "confirmation of route" which is sort of like a contextual review or a lit review and also a crystallization of my project.

so I have 10k words to talk about my methodology, the structure of my proposed thesis document, as well as the historical, theoretical, and contemporary contexts my thesis will build on and sit within.

and it has been. so fucking excruciating. trying to parse that out?

I know I'm looking at identity, freedom of expression, and some element of spirituality/spiritual freedom. I know I'm building on Black feminist ideas of identity and politics without biology. I know I'm looking at Gothic fashion and self-expression, as well as self-expression and community in punk. I know I'm looking at queerness and anonymity, or more like pseudo-anonymity... ghesties are playing at being ghouls bc to be ghouls is to literally wear a mask, to have a persona, right?

I think, at this point, three years in, if I had to explain my thesis to you in one sentence, it would be

Ghost is the carnivalesque space where gender and sexual euphoria can manifest.

we use words like "rabbit hole" to describe how we came into the fandom, because (whether we recognize the linguistic tie or not) we fell like Alice into a topsy-turvy world where Satan is good and everything we thought we knew (about what a band that looks like Ghost could sound like, about what we thought we'd like, about who we were) turns out to be incorrect or warped slightly. this is ghnosis - reflecting on the truths about ourselves as Papa or the Ghouls show them to us.

If you were given the opportunity to explore your authentic self in an anonymous setting, would you take it?

Thank you to @wisewolfbooks for the free review copy of Above the Fold by Tamara Girardi. Out today in ebook and paperback from Amazon and B&N!

I absolutely loved this slow-burn romance. It features Mackenzie Davis, an intrepid young journalist, who finds herself in the middle of a carnival of epic proportions trying to find the perfect story to kickstart her career. The only thing is, the carnival is completely anonymous. Everyone has to wear a masquerade style mask and dress in costume; use an alias; and the actual location is a complete mystery. So you don't really know who anyone is or exactly where you are. Cellphones and electronic devices of any kind are forbidden. Mac starts out attending the carnival with a story in mind, but does she end up finding more than she bargained for?

Girardi does a fantastic job at weaving Mac's outside world with the carnival. It's fast-paced and so full of heart. Grab a milkshake and cozy up on the couch! We're headed to Carnivalesque. Can't wait for book 2!

I'm not sure if I'd have the guts to try shedding who I am. Even in an anonymous space. I so very rarely do things on my own when other people are involved. It could be fun, though. Too bad Carnivalesque isn't real.
