Living in a Black and White World

Digging through the mazy warren that is the Geranium Lake Properties archive, I have unearthed several files dedicated to GLP comics that appeared in various zines, amateur fanworks and DIY media. Most of them were printed in black and white, and the two illustrations in this post were from a chapter in Words and Word Balloons, a thick (216 pages!) book-sized zine from ZC Pictorials*, edited by…

The Wings of Hermes by Elizabeth Tern

Oxford don Joseph Quill prefers to remain safely ensconced in his books, but when he is called upon to authenticate a supposed piece of ancient Greek statuary, he suddenly finds himself at the center of a deadly web of intrigue that involves murder, theft, and letters that threaten vengeance from the gods of Greece themselves. Multiple shadowy parties are willing to kill for this statue, and if Quill doesn't uncover them soon, he may just be the next victim ushered into the afterlife.

Will link future pages here as a master post as I complete them in the future.

Had my own thoughts on the whole Astarion + The Last Unicorn thing, and ended up drawing a whole comic about it. So yeah, hope you guys enjoy and stay tuned!

Reblog and tell me about your favorite book (I want to say classic, but let's just say published before the year 2000) that has never gotten an adaptation.

#books #(time frame added to eliminate new releases that haven't had time to get adaptations yet) #(this is about stories that have gotten overlooked) #after reading 'ruth' i am thinking about how much i'd like an adaptation and how much it will never get one #so let's build up the project list for my imaginary film company that adapts never-adapted books

Kinda wild to use female plight of being raped through history for your agenda against rhaenyra while keeping an actual serial rapist from the same show as your icon. that even in his book canon he’s caught with a little girl pleasuring him while he watches his bastards or whoever in the children fighting pits to compound his depravity. I don’t like rhaenyra either but be consistent

Kinda wild to use the testimony of a known liar, jester and unreliable witness such as Mushroom to attack Aegon, when Mushroom also claimed that Daemon had Rhaenyra pleasure him when she was 8, a little girl. He also claimed to have advances with Rhaenyra himself. So if you use Mushroom’s testimony, bring up his whole story, be consistent :)

#sunny answers ☀️🍳 #aegon ii targaryen #canon book aegon is not a rapist argue with the wall #mushroom is obsessed with little girls giving blowjobs and that is something we should question too #both claimants got tampered with similar claims (rhaenyra with daemon and aegon with an imaginary child)

Double Double

Not only do we have more unpublished mask designs by Alice Aroumbeyski in this post, but we have two excerpts from an almost-unpublished book, which exists only as an illegal pirate edition from an unidentified source in Chile: “The Jackalopian tradition of two-faced masks, called ahnye akammaro, can be expressed in two forms: as a double-headed mask, ilma isseksee, with two masks attached to…

Mercator Must Walk the Plank by E.G. Delaford

After reading a few too many tales of high seas adventure, Victorian gentleman John Quackenbush is inspired to purchase a ship and go in search of treasure. His ship is a wreck, his crew is inept, and he's not exactly sure how one reads a map, but the intrepid traveler remains undaunted, even as they battle storms, shipwrecks, and pirates, and often find themselves sailing in entirely the wrong ocean. After they rescue a sensible young woman from a shipwreck, she takes it upon herself to rein in the captain's flights of fancy and get them all safely home, but the Quack is not so easily controlled. He will have his adventure, and those on the ship can either join in the quest--or walk the plank.

In the 1960s, Ursula K. le Guin represented a changing of the guard in science fiction literature. She was part of a generation of novelists who questioned the colonist mindset which had influenced American sci-fi for most of the 20th century. Le Guin came to this understanding not just as a moral stance or an intellectual exercise. Issues of racism and colonialism were personal to her. This episode, originally titled "The Word For Man Is Ishi,” comes from the podcast The Last Archive from Pushkin Industries hosted by Jill Lepore and Ben Naddaff-Hafrey.

It’s always embarrassing when a character in a book is a writer and publishes a book that you’re told is incredibly well-written and a best-seller and you get a suspicious amount of fawning over how brilliant the character’s book is and how clever the title is and how glowing the reviews are, until you realise you’ve been ambushed by an insidious form of self-insert fanfiction in what looked like serious literature. I once read a book in which a character was writing a book whose plot was “structured like a cathedral” and I was like well that sounds nice, I wish I was reading that book instead. It’s fine to have a character who’s a successful writer but as a rule it’s not a good idea to frustrate your reader by making her feel like the book you wrote is inferior to the fictional book

#one of my least favourite books i read this year had a character that wrote a book with a title that was honestly not that clever #but the author (of the actual book) went on and on explaining how deep and subtle the hidden meaning of the title #of the imaginary book was #and you're like we get it and 2 chapters later the writer character is giving a radio interview to a journalist who #raves about how intelligent the book's title is and ugh

it’s so depressing how online book influencers will encourage people to consume as fast as possible and listen to audiobooks on 2x speed and skim entire passages just to reach an insane reading target. at that point reading doesn’t become enjoyable anymore

#like why are you treating it as a competition. let go of your imaginary audience #read short poems slowly. read books in other languages you’re trying to learn. we as humans need to live a little slower
