“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

The Book of the War (Lawrence Miles et. al.) Synopsis: "The Great Houses: Immovable. Implacable. Unchanging. Old enough to pass themselves off as immortal, arrogant enough to claim ultimate authority over the Spiral Politic.
The Enemy: Not so much an army as a hostile new kind of history. So ambitious it can re-write worlds, so complex that even calling it by its name seems to underestimate it.
Faction Paradox: Renegades, ritualists, saboteurs and subterfugers, the criminal-cult to end all criminal-cults, happy to be caught in the crossfire and ready to take whatever's needed from the wreckage… assuming the other powers leave behind a universe that's habitable.
The War: A fifty-year-old dispute over the two most valuable territories in existence: "cause" and "effect."
Marking the first five decades of the conflict, THE BOOK OF THE WAR is an A to Z of a self-contained continuum and a complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recordable time to the fall of humanity. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the historians win as many battles as the soldiers and the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past."
Propaganda: A text which purports to be a constantly shifting and updating guide to The War, a conflict so overarching and complete that every other conflict is but a pale shadow thereof; the Time War. Of course, since it would shift retroactively with the changing timelines, there is no way to prove or disprove this claim. Notable entries include cities built from days stolen from shifting calendars, the secrets of removing yourself from history while still leaving yourself free to interfere, Grandfather Paradox, the location of the exact center of history, how to weaponize banality, and Parablox.
Oh, and there's something else in there. Something that seems to be talking to you.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there (Lewis Caroll) "Both books have a similar structure and are spiral for the same reasons: little Victorian child Alice founds herself in a strange world with rules vastly different from hers (for example, there's no real geography and the scenery changes suddenly from one place to another very much like in a dream). The characters she crosses constantly defy her understanding of the world and applies logics she struggles to understand. Even though she ends up going with the flow most of the time she never ceases to question whether shes experiencing real life or a dream; sanity is brought up a few times, and there's also the popular quote "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad", delivered by the grinning cat that appears and disappears like a slippery distortion. Lastly I may add that the TMA episode whose title references the book (Mag 177, Wonderland) is a spiral episode."

Good Now, Mr Tetch !
Are you an amateur of poetry?
My dear, I most certainly am. Sonnets, haikus, elegies, odes, I’m fond of most all kinds. Reading them is always a treat, but I confess that my skill for writing them could be vastly improved.
One of my favourite poems would have to be The Valentine, by Lewis Caroll—a surprise to no one, I’m sure.

CS Lewis wrote an entire book (among a series of seven books with slightly different stories) to explain to children that even if your neighbour believed in another god than you, as long as he believed truthfully, he would go to Paradise, while a bad man, whatever the religion, would go to Hell.
He also wrote a main character being punished for having been mean to someone who deserved it, because the disproportion of the defense towards the attack made the main character the bad guy for this particular situation.
JRR Tolkien wrote thousands of pages about very different civilizations, who where each very interesting and thriving on its own, and different races or subspecies of humanoids being all as good as the other, with none superior, but each being the best at one or the other thing. And ''chill'' was a valid answer to ''what do you want to do as an adult'', as much as fighting a war or building gigantic castles. In fact, maybe more valid of an answer.
His only two evil races are formed of people who chose evil, because you don't get born evil or good, it does not depend on the people you are from.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an autistic-coded, aroace-coded character before either words were even a thing. Said character was very respectful of women and a good friend.
Lewis Caroll created an entire litteray genre out of the desire of a little girl to hear a story. Coincidentally, the heroin is the little girl herself.
Victor Hugo wrote thousands of pages of social criticism, taking the defense of people forced into prostitution or theft because of poverty, writing the most moving tale of redemption of his century.
William Shakespeare wrote a comedy which could have seemed antisemitic until the end when he revealed the only reason the bad guy was a Jew was because the heroes wronged him for being jewish in the first place, and making a moving plea against antisemitism.
Jane Austen wrote her heroins to be every girl of her era: one strong and witty, one just a hopeless romantic, one pragmatic and determined to marry well, one past her prime with low self-esteem learning to love herself... and none of them are put down compared to the others. Each has her own qualities and her own flaws and each deserves happiness.
Jack London gave a voice to native people of the arctic circle and wrote moving testimonies of a now-extinct world, the ''wild'' of Alaska and Canada. He wrote about hierarchical dispositions and behaviours in sledgedogs packs way before the whole ''alpha/omega'' bullshit went by and destroyed our understanding of dogs. Denounced white bad men as well as put native people as heroes or positive supporting characters.
But sure. The past is a dark place and only bigots ever populated the earth (particularly the *spits* christian ones) before the modern era set everybody free and more tolerant.
This is totally vagueposting to the people who told me (on another website) that we were soooo lucky that Netflix and Disney were starting to get inclusive because there never had been any tolerance in the world before today, that autistic kids and gay people were left to die in the woods or stoned to death and all white people from before the 70 were inherently sexist and racist.

often the girls ms potato me while i sleep that i can walk on my hands smelling the way it sounds and seeing the way it feels.
once in a while God gets involved by inverting gravity so i have to reassemble myself on the ceiling right-side up but upside down.
it doesn't remind me of my nightmare of the brakes going out on the freeway anymore, but my brain is ambidextrous and noncommittal now to the sensual haunting of it.

Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes) "After reading too many courtly romances, Quixote's perception of reality is warped, and he seeks to become a knight and restore the courtly chivalric graces. Also he thinks windmills are evil giants."
