tamysn muir really cooked with "you cant take loved away." i'm quoting that shit like it's a generations-old idiom

the state does not need to assign you a sex, nor does it need to keep inalterable record of it btw

a very interesting terf objection to this one boils down to "but how would the state know who to protect?" because it speaks to the incredible privilege of being in a class the state actually ever remotely wants to protect. most oppressed groups do not want the state to have a registry of them, lol

the patriarchy has done a great job convincing white cisgender women that it's in their best interests to maintain it

While "the enemy was defeated by a blorbo from man's own poetry" is the funniest way a problem was solved in tlt, I do think a good runner up is "vital information is learned because the protagonist's friend, a 12 year old drug dealer, was stealing stuff in the tunnels below the city"

they would NOT fucking have communication skills that good

the reason i have not yet written a The Locked Tomb Analytical Essay is because ppl think i’d write it about the eighth but they’re wrong. i would write it about the seventh and their view of chronic illness as beautiful. and then i’d have to talk about how that directly parallels the catholic church’s view of redemptive suffering and the passages of the catechism that speak on illness specifically. and how john’s treatment of cytherea paints himself as the Suffering Christ figure and her as the pious and devoted sick sharing in that suffering by which her illness is made his own. and then i experience an emotional fit so violent that my vision whites out. so i will not be writing all of that

You disassemble John? You disassemble John for eating peanuts and also doing countless atrocities? Oh! Oh! Disintegration for Mercymorn! Disintegration for ten thousand years!

ranking of the tazmuir short fiction i’ve read so far: the deepwater bride > chew > the magician’s apprentice > the woman in the hill > the house that made the sixteen loops of time > union. floralinda not included because of her novella status and because she’s my specialest ever monster-slaying monsterprincess and i have bias

a person from 150 years ago would be terrified by modern stuff . however , a duck from 150 years ago would just be all like ,still got lakes? yes ? okay cool

Reblogging again because I thought they changed the quote so I decided to look up the actual quote and it’s not fake that is very much the actual quote
