#i picked it up half because the homestuck girlies have been raving about this series

[stemmmm]

i started reading gideon the ninth (first fiction book i've read in a decade, and probably the first im reading by personal choice in even longer) and not five chapters in im like oooohhhhhhhhhhh THIS is why i wanted to go into storyboarding. when an image, a sequence of images, gets caught in your head that's so vivid that it's all you can do to get it out. a half-baked script you get paid to draw doesn't really cut it when you try to make it a job though

#m.txt #tlt #i picked it up half because the homestuck girlies have been raving about this series #and half bc i saw a fanart of harrow that made me think 'this character was designed in a factory to be my favorite' #i'll let you know how that goes tho bc again. not 5 chapters in lol #so far this has been a magnificent first book to get into after not reading for years though #bc the way the language can be so evocative in so few words is magic for my poor distracted brain #theres very little struggle to catch back up when i forget everything thats happened at the end of every paragraph #and this all says nothing of the characters so far. who are magnificent
