my dealer: got some straight gas this strain is called ‘the southern reach’ youll be zonked out of your gourd beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit

me: yeah whatever. I don’t feel shit

5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw a rift in reality in the tunnel tower

my buddy Control, pacing: The Voice is lying to us

“The effect of this cannot be understood without being there. The beauty of it cannot be understood, either, and when you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you.”

— 📚Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer // 🎞 Annihilation, Alex Garland (2018)

Trying to read more fiction and the Autism and Queerness and Transcendent nature of these books truly has me in a chokehold. Like there’s something so liberating in The Weird, the eco and the body horror, the undefinable, The transcendent nature of area x ugh

the biologist, 20XX

"the biologist’s hair had been long and dark brown, almost black (…) she had dark, thick eyebrows, green eyes, a slight, slightly off-center nose (broken once, falling on rocks), and high cheekbones that spoke to the strong asian heritage on one side of her family. her chapped lips were surprisingly full for such a thin frown (…) even sitting down at the table, she somehow projected a sense of being physically strong, with a ridge of thick muscle where her neck met her shoulders."

there is no official art of the biologist from the southern reach trilogy, so i quick whipped up my own for the character inspiration meme i did! above is her physical description from the second book.

to me, she is one of the best written characters in any media i've consumed. one of my all-time favorites, undoubtedly. the southern reach trilogy is one of the best things i've ever read too, i encourage it for anyone that hasn't. it's probably my biggest inspiration, as well!

background is eric nyquist's inside cover artwork, just stunning. i thought it fit the symmetry theme of her portrait.

Annihilation completely masters being disgustingly beauitful. Like Midsommar is a beauitful horror movie, intentionally idealic. But Annihilation is beauitful in the way that the poisonous mold growing in your fridge is beauitful, or how a gas fire in beauitful.

Like, Annihilation cannot just give you a Snow White deer mutated with antlers that are branches full of blossoms. There needs to be two of these deer that move in parrallel, but one is rotting

Annihilation can’t just give you a wall of fungus, or a corpse. It has to give you murals of prismatic, colorful fungi sprouting out of a corpse so violently it snapped him in half

You like Annihilation in a "ooo creepy wilderness" way, I like Annihilation in a neurodivergent "I can relate to the biologist and I would also feel a weird sense of belonging in Area X and then proceed to be found in a parking lot" way

Have you read...

Area X has been cut off from the rest of the world for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.
