#ragged dick

[readingbooksinisrael]

Prompt: Tbr vet (square 5)

Book read: Fame and Fortune/Horatio Alger, Jr (Ragged Dick #2)

Why: I first found a bind-up of Ragged Dick and the third in the series-Mark, the Match Boy-at around 10 years old and I loved them. It’s clear in Mark, the Match Boy that there is a book previous to it, but as Alger wrote them as serials in magazines as first there was no confusion. Still, I wanted to read the second one, but, for whatever reason, it was only pretty recently that I realized that it’s probably on Project Gutenberg (I also discovered that there are more in the series after the third book!).

What I Wanted: I first and foremost wanted to know what was happening to Dick in between the end of the first and the beginning of the second and how he managed to move into a new boarding house. I also wanted to see if I would continue to like these kind of book first read as an adult.

What I Got: I really enjoyed it. Are these actually good books? No. Are they incredibly fun? Yes. Many absurd things happen but the world that it happens in is a world where the absurd things that happen can happen. I’m really excited to reread Mark, the Match Boy now. (I did also get to discover how Dick moved to a new boarding house :).)

Ragged Dick

A Chinese adaptation of Horatio Alger's bildungsroman, but produced expressly for the Chinese market. Except the producers aren't Chinese, and didn't bother to actually check if there were any native Chinese rags-to-riches stories they could've adapted instead, and the story is largely full of stereotypical and frequently racist portrayals of Chinese American signifiers rather than anything meaningful to a mainland Chinese audience.

Tfw your favourite faux-leftist liberal shill turns against you. 🥲

#WE HAVE VOX #hahahahahhahahahha #you don't understand look at the Vox stories promoted on their twitter feed the last six weeks and now look at this #this fucking bootlicking shill turned against Biden #although now I'm thinking the Dems are setting him up to be fall guy #as though this is his circus instead of a bipartisan collusion with the military industrial complex #still it's a sure sign of the tide turning fast #ideally I want Vox bombed along with CNN but. Baby steps #Can't wait to see which dick-riding rag turns next #media manipulation #free Palestine #genocide Joe #fuck Joe biden #us politics

Man, Vicki Vale, Metropolis, and the General just gave Clark enough material to make his own supervillain origin story.

The General: How dare you pretend you're a good person!

Clark: You know, if I wasn't a good person, you would not be alive right now.

"You can't write that! That's not canon"

That's the point, it's not canon, it's fanfiction meaning you can create/write whatever you want.

Things don't always have to be canon either, just have fun with the characters and do what you want.

#fandom wank #adjacent #saw a comment earlier where someone was ragging on the writer #baby make everything au if you want #rewrite the shows history for your fic #have fun and dont be a dick to others

You guys think Duke and Damian would be insecure about wearing skirts and dresses and ur wrong

#they don’t even see it as a big deal or statement it’s just something they do #Kon also! but this ain’t abt him #not that seeing it as a big deal or statement is bad btw it’s quite the opposite imo #but like I think Duke was a cosplay kid and the transition from wearing dresses for the cosplay to just doing it irl was seamless #and I don’t think Damian has any shame in his femininity in general #Damian appreciates Duke bc even tho he loves the support he gets from his other family members it feels a bit like coddling sometimes #Duke is not afraid to say Damian’s skirt is ugly #it’s not discouraging him dick it’s prompting him to make better choices 🙄🙄🙄 #btw you don’t understand how much Duke and Damian rag on eachothers clothes #like I stand by fashion icon Duke but we all make mistakes and Damian is very happy to point them on #damian will never be angrier that dramatic eye looks fell outta style btw #what is with this soft glam shit?? the POINT is to look different if he wants to look like himself he just won’t wear makeup 🙄 #Duke wants to strangle him
