Books and Ghosts

@booksandghosts

This is not a good book blog. I am terrible at reviews, I just reblog books and quotes mostly cause I'm lazy. If you use the tag 'My Bullshit Opinions' you get to read original posts. Or use the tag "Other Peoples Valid Opinions" for intelligent people I have reblogged and follow them. I use to have these as links but they stopped working and I can't remember how to do it again.

Back in 2013, I posted a Welcome to Night Vale fic and someone commented, “I’m autistic and I see myself a lot in the way you write Carlos. Did you intend for him to autistic?”

And I was like “I’m flattered you think so! No, he’s not intended to be autistic, but I’m glad you can see yourself in him.”

Now twelve years later I spent some time this evening trying to track down that comment to give a very belated clarification. Whoever you were stranger, hey. I only said no because I based Carlos heavily on me, and since I wasn’t autistic, Carlos wouldn’t be either. Well. I’ve learned some stuff in the intervening decade that strongly support your literary analysis.

I’ve seen people pass around the “hold up, I’m googlin’ something” image but it cropped out the part where he was googling “how many guys can one guy take”

"The literature of imagination, even when tragic, is reassuring, not necessarily in the sense of offering nostalgic comfort, but because it offers a world large enough to contain alternatives and therefore offers hope."

- Ursula K. Le Guin, 'The Critics, The Monsters, and The Fantasists'

I finally finished the Grim Squeaker!

Here's the Death of Rats on Threadless!

>Predominately Black led piece of media becomes popular.

>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.

>White tumblr users focus entirely on said White characters.

>Tag of Black led piece of media is filled with posts about White character(s)

>Rinse. Repeat.

the-stormwagon

I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.

It’s still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (I’m not trying to justify, I’m trying to come up with an explanation)

Please don’t make me say it.

We don't need you coming up with an charitable interpretation.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Mel Brooks on taking studio notes:

iubirea-bot

I love that there's a story that Murderbot is simultaneously telling and retelling and also pretending isn't important at all about how it 100% got run over by a haulerbot once. Might not even officially remember it, but knows it happened. Probably not that big a deal. Definitely doesn't have any trauma about that, that'd be silly. Fuck those things though. Runnin into shit all the time. Can't trust 'em.

perihelions-babyteeth

There's a very casual mention about what actually went wrong at ganaka pit and what all the haulerbots were doing while the secunits and comfort units were busy. Murderbot moves on immediately and barely mentions it, and then goes >:((( every single time haulerbots are mentioned throughout the rest of the series.

silvergryphonart

@maggotsandcream you’re so right

Except I don’t think it was so lucky. I think it would be grateful to the haulerbot for stopping it, even involuntarily

I’m imagining it frantically trying to hack itself while trying to limit itself to mercy kills on people who got run over :(
