The books were originally published in two different...categories I guess you’d say.

The normal, numbered books, and then the other books, including Megamorphs, Chronicles, ect.

Now, you’d think, logically, that you could just read all the numbered books and then all the extra, right? That’s what I thought the first time I started reading this series.

But no. No, for some reason the authors decided to make things difficult. If you just read nothing but the numbered books, you will be missing about half the plot of the series. I created my list so that other people don’t have to go through the confusion and frustration I went through, reading the numbered books, and then I get to the next book and suddenly they’re talking about ALL THIS STUFF that I’ve never heard about before.

Also, I don't know if I think he's queer coded per se? They did have a gay couple  die . And he made more of a move on Daniels than Walter. But I see what you mean. 

that’s a fair interpretation. i could totally understand it that way too. but the reason i didn’t consider david as representing religion as well is because many people consider scientific advancements to this level - making an android that’s completely human, genetic modification of advanced organisms - to be science “playing god” in a way that will ultimately harm mankind forever because it goes too far. so i thought david was more of a representation of that, of science playing god and people dying as a result.

david was absolutely queercoded because queercoding goes far beyond sexual preference. firstly the statue david by michelangelo is considered a part of gay history bc michelangelo himself was gay and there are a lot of references to the statue and to greek and roman culture within the lgbt+ community. within film the stereotype of the European Dandy(TM) - someone with a british/german accent, is highly educated often to the point of pretentiousness, is constantly making references to highbrow art, music, & literature, etc. which derives from the covert gay male scene in england, france, and germany from the 19th century up through the 1920s - fits david’s exact characterization. so even though sexually david was more overt with daniels, a woman, it’s understood to be due to compulsory heterosexuality and heteronormativity because the villain is so heavily queercoded.

also i didn’t mention the gay couple because i honestly thought i imagined it, i wasn’t sure if it was just implied, but regardless the Kill Your Gays trope is extremely homophobic as well so :////

@espressonist was NOT thrilled when she figured out what’s going on with Holly. Oops. I get that a lot, though, LOL.

Awesome!
