This week, the two books we discuss are on the far ends of the spectrum - and by that, we mean "really good" and "really, really bad". We also chat about time limits before calling it quits, books that fail to meet expectations, and play a game of "Guess the Fake Name" with Ice Planet Barbarians!

Books Discussed: The Things We Do To Our Friends by Heather Darwin Wild Spaces by SL Coney

Books Mentioned: The Twilight of Democracy by Anne Applebaum Candide by Voltaire Wintersong by SJ Jones If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever The Secret History by Donna Tartt Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Morena Garcia This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone The Ocean At The End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Ice Planet Barbarian series by Ruby Dixon

Read two short books on a flight today, then starting the next October Daye one

Wild Spaces by S. L. Coney

I'm not sure why this was on my reading list. I'm guessing I saw it on a Tor email and thought "eldritch psychological thriller." It was not that. It's about a 11 year old boy whose mom's abusive dad shows up out of the blue to stay with them, and the family falls apart over the course of months. Then his grandfather turns into a jellyfish monster and kills his parents and dog

Awful experience. Why would you want to read a book where everyone's just miserable the whole time and nothing happens

The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler

This one was cooler. It's about an elephant conservation who gets killed by poachers. In the future, they restore her from a mind upload into the body of a cloned wooly mammoth to lead the new herd, since she's the last mind on Earth who knows what elephants and mammoths were like in the wild

Meanwhile, there's a group of poachers who get into the mammoth sanctuary and kill a couple, so she leads her herd to avenge them. The twist, kind of, is that the lead conservationist at the sanctuary is also selling tickets to hunt mammoths to fund the conservation efforts. This leads to a confrontation between the mammoth!conservationist and the human one, who knows he's fucked up

This one was a pretty heavy-handed commentary on the modern-day exploitation of the natural world for resources, and is kind of a downer. However, the characters and action in the book are compelling enough to carry it in my opinion

#book review #fantasy books #science fiction #wild spaces #the tusks of extinction #lgbt books #<- diversity win! the unimaginably wealthy sports hunter is gay! #i'm about halfway through the october daye book and she's already rescued the people she was sent to rescue #so something terrible is yet to happen

the infamous 'last sighting of a barbary lion in the wild' photo taken by marcelin flandrin (1925) haunts me to my core. there's something so achingly poetic about it.

#this is so random for me but i saw this the other night and it genuinley hasnt left my brain #there's a lot of debate around this subspecies and whether they are #extinct or w/e #hence my wording BUT #this photo and that kinda ....... 'last one in the wild' fact has sTUCK with me #so small. in the space. so alone. walking away. leaving their prints behind. #it honestly nearly moves me to tears if i think about it too much #straight up put this in my drafts last night and now it makes me TOO emotional

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 3: Enveloping Feelings.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 4 (soon))

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #I wanted to try out a different paneling style for this one - sorry I'm a day late! (there will still be a post tomorrow to keep on track) #The original 3 panel comic idea was fine but the point of this new schedule was to take time to push myself a bit more. #I was taking a look back through some comic artists I felt inspired by #and I really loved how Lynda Barry fills her gutters with patterns and doodles! #Obviously I'm not going as absolutely wild with it as she does but it was a great exercise! #I truly think the gutters are the most important and most overlooked part of any comic. There's lots going on in that space. #It's the same with timeskips. The implied movement between moments that we don't see changes depending on how wide that gap is #You're here for the funny tags so here's some that ties this time talk together: #I think LWJ was thinking about that second note from day 2 but it took him 7 days of hazing to commit it to paper. #I think he sends it a day later and immediately regrets it. Chasing down the messenger and everything. #You know if something actually happened to his brother he would never ever forgive himself for putting the bad vibes out there. #Third time skip was the hardest because there was so many possible flavours of jokes here. Day 8/9 was a personal favourite. #day 14 was also funny (week by week). I think the debate on 'how long does lwj take to catch feelings' is more or less: #'how long does it take for him to arrive at a particular stage of grief and yearning (and awareness of it all) #This is a symphony. There is an act by act structure. Every day he is fighting to keep his old sensibilities. He is losing so badly. #(I'll be returning to the main comic soon but there is more of this AU to come!)

#outer wilds spoilers #outer wilds #illustration #ciear’s scribbles #kinda iffy about some bits but eh i think it’s doing a good job showing how much i love this game #forever refusing to actually figure out everyone’s placement in the campfire circle they just go wherever i think they should #word of advice do not try and fit eight entire characters into a very narrow space #btw! prints available on my INPRNT for those interested :)

In the most 'Greek theatre' of ways, this is a tragedy. Tragedies are meant to teach onlookers: "See how these rich idiots, despite their riches, cannot escape the consequences of their actions, their hubris, and their defiance of the laws of common sense and decency? See their awful demise? Don't be like them."

#oceangate #titanic #I feel some pity for the 19-year-old because gods know that your sense of self preservation doesn't quite work yet #and maybe for the Titanic expert but honestly dude you should've known better #rest of them though? you fucked around and found out #like one of them went to space with the musk-rat #he clearly wanted his epitaph to be as wild as possible

Prompt 214

“I did an oopsie.” 

Clockwork paused in his work, gaze turning from his work towards his ghostling (it didn’t matter if he was an adult, he’d always be his ghostling) who was smiling nervously, avoiding his eyes. 

“Oh?” He kept his tone light, even as he worked on untangling a time knot. Honestly at least Danny was immune to any effect of time, even if he couldn’t look into his timelines in exchange. It came with being the other half of Infinity. 

“Yeeah… you know that corner of the multiverse you told me not to go to because you’re working on some time problems? I might have stumbled into one of the worlds in the corner…” 

He stopped his machinations, fully turning towards Danny- Space, his Core whispered and quivered in utter delight at having an Equal in power- with a raised eyebrow, leaning on his staff and silently telling him to explain. 

Danny poked his fingers together, giving a nervous laugh. “So uh, I was just exploring right? Well me and Ellie, you know how she gets when she can’t wander, and um… I er, we might have messed with some things in the creation of it… I didn’t know it was part of that universe, I swear! It was so far at the fringes and halfway into the Zone and I couldn’t just let a universe die before it began and-”

Oh- Oh! His ghostling (and his grand-ghostlings it sounded like) had claimed his first universe! He could put off these time knots, this was a grand milestone for any Ancient, nevermind such a primordial force as one of theirs.

And this is how a DC world came into being with humans evolving with more avian traits. Like wings. And claws. Look, Dan thought it’d be funny if they gave baby humanity wings and Ellie started rambling about how much farther they could travel if they had them and Danny thought it could be cool. Oh well, time to keep an eye on their itty baby world now…

#Prompts #DCxDP #DPxDC #Ancient of Space Danny #Space Core Danny #Moon Core Ellie #Sun Core Dan #Why yes Dan & Ellie call Danny Mom/Dad #Wings Au #They all have favorite bloodlines that they think are neat or they’re rooting for #They also make sure the speedsters (“Look at them! They’re hummingbirds! They can’t focus!”) don’t cause Time Knots #Sam Adores Gotham from the moment Danny shows his friends their lil DC world #And that’s not even starting on the rest of things not even on Earth #Dan appears by Clark’s crib unseen one night & gifts him wings to be able to blend in with his human family #They can’t focus on every little thing but they do their best since it’s their first world #Whenever a hero is revived their wings look like they’ve been dipped in galaxies for several months at least #Jason’s never goes away- they look like a crimson sunrise with stars #Billy got a gift from Ellie & his wings have moon patterns even in his normal child form #Go wild with this
