Stopped by my friendly local (extremely large) bookstore and found three (3!) books signed by @charliejaneanders!! I knew she'd been by a few months ago but I wasn't expecting there to be anything left!

after keysmashing to name approximately three different new species of creature i have decided that @charliejaneanders' brilliance cannot be matched, the way she named the animals in The City in the Middle of the Night (which you should all read like DAMN that's a BOOK) was a stroke of absolute genius in addition to being the straight-up boldest and funniest move i've ever seen. 100/10 ma'am you have ALL my respect okay back to keysmashing i hate this

#no i'm not telling you how she did it you gotta read the book for that #the city in the middle of the night #charlie jane anders #worldbuilding #writing #writeblr #speculative fiction #speculative biology #sing-you-fools

thinking about The City In The Middle Of The Night. thinking about adapting your body to a new world, a harsh environment that you weren't made for and which should easily destroy you, except. except you lived through the worst thing that could possibly happen to you. you suffered and you're changed but you lived. and there's something out there in the dark, in the night, something living and breathing and thriving in this place that has pushed your society to the brink of collapse. and that thing can change you, can make this place habitable. changing and growing can save your society, but first it can save you. so you become something else, something that is you but more-than-you, something that scares the first girl you ever loved. something she thinks is monstrous.

but if you're a monster, then you're a monster that was always meant to be, and you're the one who is going to survive here. you're the future, while her way of life leads to nothing but dead ends. and you and your new friends can remake everything together, can change these fragile bodies, can transcend them. you're not trapped anymore. you're free.

anyway. never has a book been more obviously about trauma and transgender identity and i think everyone ever should read it but especially people who love sci-fi.

Annoying how the way this book communicates "this settlement has rules constructed to make people aware of the passage of time" is by just having the narrator, a random girl living there, tell you it. If it's a defining feature of the society, the author does not need to be worried it won't show up in the natural course of events; the book does not need this intrusion of the author-as-narrator into the literal dialogue.

Like, if you want to be obvious about it, do something like divide chapters up into subchapters each starting at a specific time on a specific date. You could also have the characters' awareness of time be a piece of an early piece of plot. I'm sure anyone reading this post can think of 2 or 3 other options.

[ID: digital fanart of Charlie Jane Anders’s book The City in the Middle of the Night. The left side is yellow with an abstract clockface and gears in orange. The right is blue with stacks of houses in white and light grey. Diagonally across the bottom is a “tear” of a black, star-filled sky and a white crystal-like built structure. In the middle is the following quote in white: The gears on all their timepieces keep chewing through moment after moment, and they can’t stand to walk under this cruel sky any longer.”] deeply enjoyed this book and definitely going to read more of her work :D (finally finished a drawing thing and can feel temporarily satisfied about it)

This is an impressive achievement, with similar style and tone to masters like Ursula Le Guin and Octavia Butler. An adventure with breadth and depth, with layers and philosophy. Contemplative and heartful. 10/10 #WhatsKenyaReading

I put together a list of books that rekindled my faith in humanity and gave me the boost I needed to get through the first lockdowns. I hope they do the same for you 💜

Bruce after yelling at all his kids, now turning to Jason specifically: And anoth-

Jason: You ever raise your voice at me again, and I'll start a gang war so elaborate and large scale that you'll be forced to call in the Justice League.

Bruce:

Jason: And I'll do it whilst you're in the middle of an ultra important WE meeting, too.

#jason: i will not hesitate at any given opportunity to embarass you in your own city in front of the justice league #jason: and can you imagine asking a green lantern for help? your reputation will never recover. #jason 'i like to cause problems on purpose just cuz my dad is a loser' todd #jason wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking 'bruce is feeling too at peace rn. how can i change that?' #jason: im gonna make you wish i were dead again. #bruce crying: why would you say that #batman #bruce wayne #batdad #jason todd #red hood #batfam #batfamily #dc comics #incorrect quotes #crack #batkids #fanatical posting
