In what I'm sure is in no way a nod to my current mental state, I've been reading a lot lately! Have been meaning to post write ups for a while... Sometimes I think about getting on Good Reads or StoryGraph, but the truth is I can barely manage posting here... I think taking photos is the best/only tracking for me. Thankfully the filenames are also timestamps...

2023-070- 29 : The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw - oh so very very flowery language-y. Felt like artwork I'd like on Tumblr came to life and acted out a tableau. How many different ways can you describe something as black? I mock it, but I did actually like it. Incredibly quick read, wonderfully gorey, felt different than my usual. Wouldn't want a lot of it, but it's a good dose. Got the title from some random top 10 New Horror blog post.

2023-07-29 : Open Throat by Henry Hoke - Friend mentioned reading a book told from the perspective of a mountain lion and I was, like, "SOLD! SAY NO MORE!" and immediately checked it out from the library. Was not disappointed. Wish I'd bought it? Interesting typesetting, I like the way the language feels very natural/spoken. Good cadence to it. Didn't love it quite as much as I'd hoped to, but still really liked it. Would recommend. Quick read. I didn't cry while reading it, but when I read the Wikipedia article for P-22, I maybe got a bit teary eyed. Features a bonkers interaction/episode that made me think of a Tumblr post/bit explored far more deeply and from the POV of not the Tumblrina.

2023-06-05 : Woman Eating by Claire Kohda - 👏 I 👏 like 👏 this 👏 book! 👏 More specifically, I recall vividly enjoying it while I was reading it. It hasn't lingered on the mind quite as much as I was expecting, but it was a damn good time. I'm absolutely not her, but also felt a strange occasional resonance that I enjoyed. I don't know if I'd broadly recommend it though. It's not action-y. The Patterson of vampire stories?

(I did not enjoy Reluctant Immortals, bailed early and skimmed it lightly. Weaving Explorer was cute and while I absolutely do intend to get into weaving at some point, I realized now is not the time...)

2023-06-03 : The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix - as part of horror bender I've been on, have read a couple others by him already. This sounds to be his most popular and 5th one of his I've read (I'll probably get around to My Best Friend's Exorcism at some point) and I feel only so-so about it. Primarily it makes me want a variant of the story from James's POV. There's bits about this that linger, but my distain for Patricia kept me from fully enjoying it... has that tangy sorta' flawed flavor that can induce fandom gnawing though. I imagine when/if the Amazon show rolls out, my interest will be piqued.

I find I enjoy contemplating/comparing both Woman Eating and The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires with each other. The notion of a leech and feeding and social ties and responsibilities. And art and personality and interests.

Post episode 4

#satosugu #geto suguru #gojo satoru #my art #fan art #I kept thinking of that Nakamura interview saying how in ep5 Gojo did notice something was up with Geto #Made me think Gojo knew something was off but couldn't quite put his finger on it yet #his new advanced six eyes would feel his energy is not as steady as usual #but his lack of understanding of others emotions wouldn't quite let him fully comprehend what is #At the end he would believe him that everything is fine #why would he doubt him #but you know how things go

also we need to talk more about how funny it is that most of the explanations ever given for “what the hell happened to the nho anyway” are that it’s scar’s fault but that he’s not even consistent about what he did. he might have eaten them himself! he may have fed them to the alien on purpose! he may have fed them to the alien on accident? he may have at least known something was up with the jungle? definitely his fault though no doubt about that. yep.

funnier still is that given bdubs in his season six death loop dies holding vex wings at least once it being scar’s fault is really actually very plausible, despite the fact he keeps. changing the story? for some reason? like at least one of these things is a lie? for some reason?

and then he works with doc anyway. don’t worry doc a little trauma is good for the soul he was just feeling sillygoofy you know how it is right doc no hard feelings right,

#hermitcraft #goodtimeswithscar #I am apparently in a vaguely season six mood don’t mind me #anyway this is so funny #like okay we talk plenty about ‘convex canon cannibals haha’#but funnier is the possibility that scar is just. lying about at least one of those things #for fun?#also what I’m saying is doc has very good reason to decide scar’s his nemesis.

Managed to make it to the Dicken's Fair this year! Twas the last three hours of the closing day but we still got our meat pie (delicious!), caught Brass Farthing (enjoyable even with only 5 members in attendance), basked in the glory of Edger Allen Poe's recitations, and caught the last run of 'The Naming of Uranus'.

The play was, as the name suggests, about the naming of the planet and an unending joke about its pronunciation. Was also a musical with an all ladies cast performing mostly male roles. It was dumb but it was fun and I did laugh out loud several times. It also sparked in my heart a desire to familiarize myself with more historical women of note.

Came home and unearthed the 1975 book Women in Mathematics by Lynn M. M Osen that I'd picked up years ago at a Friends of the Library booksale. Had only read one entry prior (the very depressing tale of Hypatia) and breezed through the rest of it in two days. Kinda' enjoyable, to my surprise?

The typesetting is rather hideous (blindingly white paper, funky margins) but easy to read language with very high level takes on various ladies. What I particularly enjoyed was how old several of the women were when doing a majority of their work. Enjoyed learning about Mary Somerville (1780-1872) and Caroline Herschel (1750-1848, whose brother discovered Uranus). I kinda' want to know more about Emilie de Breteuil (1706-1749) and am bummed I can't find a free, translated version of her "Discours sur le Bonheur" online.

Anyway, note to self: I should get ahold of a copy of Seduced by Logic by Robyn Arianrhod and read that next.

This is Paths Left Untaken! She/Any, Aroace.

She's an Iterator OC that I love so much and inflict endless horrors on. She's just your basic Iterator, made to find the Solution without many particularly noteworthy quirks. Really, she's nothing special. And that fact is agonizing.

Paths Left Untaken was made primarily out of obligation rather than genuine passion. Her creators were a group of people interested in finding ways to streamline the Iterator construction process, and since more Iterators is always better, they were always working on one Project or another. As such, her creators and administrators never particularly cared about her all that much. She was just another Iterator Project they had completed, and now it was time to take the lessons they had learned when building her to move on to the next.

Even worse, this approach to Iterator construction resulted in Paths Left Untaken being relatively poorly constructed. There were two notable examples of this. The first was a persistent bug in her priority queue that would occasionally cause new priorities to either completely overwrite everything else in the queue or fail to be properly added, resulting in her being extremely distractible and having issues with focus.

The second was the arrangement of all of her most important components—including the entirety of her AI—, being concentrated completely in the core of her structure, within her Central Cortex, instead of distributed throughout Her creators reasoned that this arrangement would allow her quicker processing speed and power, but the end difference was negligible from standard Iterator processing. Rather, it inadvertently ensured that if anything negative happened in her Central Cortex, Paths Left Untaken would be incapacitated.

As a result of the neglect she faced, Paths Left Untaken was desperate to earn her administrators’ approval. She would spend long stretches of time focusing only on the Great Problem, ignoring everything else (including her own wellbeing) to run countless simultaneous high-intensity processes so that she might achieve results that would make her creators notice her as more than “just another Project.” But it was extremely difficult on account of her trouble with focusing, and it never really worked anyway. It only ever left her burnt out and hurt from repeated dismissal.

After a very long while of this, it occurred to her that she was never going to be anything but just another Project to her creators and nothing she could do would ever change that. Out of spite and pain at the rejection, she turned in the exact opposite direction and decided that if her creators were never going to acknowledge her efforts anyway, then she wasn’t going to do what they built her to do. She instead turned her focus to getting acquainted with her own Local Group, hoping to find validation in her peers rather than in her superiors.

However, she was received with caution, as she had never actually made any efforts to talk with them before. From their perspective, she was focused only on the Problem and didn’t care about them at all, and this sudden change was jarring and suspicious. But Paths’ neglect of her groupmates wasn’t out of malice like they thought; she just genuinely forgot they existed for a while as she focused on seeking approval. The only exception to this was her Senior, who was barely tolerant of her anyway on account of her extreme distractability and overly eager to please demeanor.

In the end, her groupmates never really welcomed her. She acted a lot younger than she actually was due to her neglect, and was turbulent between extreme people-pleasing and bouts of pain-fueled anger at them and her creators for not acknowledging her. She was a mess, to put it lightly, and her groupmates were just… uncomfortable around her. So they stopped engaging with her, and eventually she got the hint and stopped trying to earn their approval, too.

The Mass Ascension was a horribly traumatic event for Paths Left Untaken. It basically proved to her that she meant nothing to any of her citizens, if they could all abandon her without a second thought. Now she could never earn their approval, and she was left drifting without purpose or acknowledgement. Her pain meant nothing. All of her groupmates were hurt by the Mass Ascension. She wasn’t special for having been traumatized by it. She was still unremarkable. She was “Just Paths.” And that’s all she would ever be.

Paths Left Untaken was alone for a while following the Mass Ascension.

And if I draw anymore I think my hand is actually going to explode, so! I'm just going to wrap this post up here. This was a basic overview of Paths Left Untaken pre-MA, and a lot more happens to her after the Mass Ascension. Like, a lot more. Girlie was selected by the universe to Suffer A Lot, Actually. Like she did absolutely nothing to deserve any of it but sure I guess.

Anyway! Feel free to ask me stuff about her so I have prompts to talk more! And maybe draw! Time and hand permitting! I am so mentally ill about the silly little characters <3

#faux art #iterator oc #rw oc #paths left untaken #the sillayyyyyy #everything bad happens to her ever #like.......... girlies when we're doomed from the start </3 #i'm so insane guys #i have been doing stuff with her for like. SIX MONTHS. just. all in an rp server #the rp got so fucking intense #so many things happened #though i hesitate to say any of it's “canon”#i'll be picking and choosing parts from it to incorporate and changing them around :3 #looking forward to seeing how this goes

six of crows is so incredibly hozier coded and to prove it ive assigned each character/couple a song and given a specific section of the lyrics

(i feel entirely normal about this i swear)

the books in general are 100% eat your young

There's money to be made, whatever's still to come Get some Pull up the ladder when the flood comes Throw enough rope until the legs have swung Seven new ways that you can eat your young Come and get some Skinning the children for a war drum Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns It's quicker and easier to eat your young

kaz brekker - arsonist's lullabye

When I was 16, my senses fooled me Thought gasoline was on my clothes I knew that something would always rule me I knew the scent was mine alone All you have is your fire And the place you need to reach Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep 'em on a leash

inej ghafa - would that i

With the war of the fire My heart moves to its feet Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat Feel it soft and as pure as snow Fell in love with the fire long ago With each love I could lose I was never the same Watch it still live in roofs Be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Lay in waste of my lovin' long ago

jesper fahey - someone new

There's an art to life's distractions To somehow escape the burning weight, the art of scraping through Some like to imagine The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do Would things be easier if there was a right way? Honey, there is no right way

wylan van eck - through me (the flood)

Any time I've struggled on Against the course Out on my own Every time I'd burn through the world, I'd see That the world, it burns through me

nina zenik - angel of small death and the codeine scene

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh, I Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

(this is so nina post-parem)

matthias helvar - foreigner's god

Her eyes look sharp and steady Into the empty parts of me But still my heart is heavy With the hate of some other man's beliefs

kaz/inej - work song

When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her

(this is just so i would come for you and if i couldn't walk i'd crawl to you i cannot)

matthias/nina - in a week

A thousand teeth And yours among them, I know Our hungers appeased Our heartbeats becoming slow We lay here for years or for hours Thrown here or found To freeze or to thaw So long we become the flowers Two corpses we were

(they're also incredibly work song coded, it was a struggle choosing between helnik and kanej for that one)

wylan/jesper - like real people do

So I will not ask you Why you were creeping In some sad way I already know I will not ask you where you came from I will not ask and neither should you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do

#i know i say most things are hozier coded but THIS BOOK AND THESE CHARACTERS OMG #i spent an hour making this post #im so normal about them #six of crows #six of crows duology #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #kanej #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #wesper #nina zenik #matthias helvar #helnik #hozier #music

@turianspeedjunkie

Siska had bought down all the blankets and pillows he could find. He wanted Cato to be able to build a proper nest, it had seemed important to the boy. So he put them all on the bed and went into the shower. Only stopping long enough to pull Cato into his arms on the way there, and give him a long kiss. He couldn't get those tones out of his head and Siska did a deep dive among his memories as he stood in the shower, cleaning off today's mishap.

He found it in a box he'd stashed away, labeled private, secret, dreams. The first time he told Dius he loved him.

Siska came out of the shower a few minutes later, got into the soft clothes Cato had put out for him. Face deep in thought, he padded on soft feet out to see what the boy had built.

......

Siska had more blankets and pillows than Cato would have thought and at some point, he promised himself, he'd go see what other neat things were in the attic. But not now. Now, he was busy arranging said pillows and blankets.

He fluffed the pillows to make them softer and made sure that only the softest blankets were near the center of the nest where they would lay. Cato purred to himself as he worked, making everything perfect and comfortable and just right. He'd never made a nest to share before, not in the same context. He'd made them with friends and family, little places to curl up and nap or just snuggle and talk.

This nest was different though. It was to show Siska that he loved him.

#turianspeedjunkie #indomitable!au #Nesting Day #(I will say that my bed nest consists of thus #six pillows two blankets and an uncountable amount of stuffed animals lol #and my bed's against the wall so I can pile things in the corner #it's great
