"I began to seek out Humans. I avoided large parties of them, but it was easy to find individuals and small groups.
I followed them silently, dissected and enjoyed their scents, listened to their conversations. Sometimes they became aware that they were being followed, though they never saw me. My coloring had darkened and I hid easily in the shadows. The forest understory was usually wet or at least damp, and it was easy for me to move silently. The Humans I followed often made much more noise than I did. I watched a Human hunter make so much noise that the feeding peccary he was stalking heard him and ran away. The Human went to the place where the peccary had been feeding and he cursed and kicked the fruit the animal had been feeding on. It never occurred to him to eat the fruit or to collect some for his people. I ate some when he was gone."
- Octavia Butler, Imago, Exile, Chapter 5
can't get over people misgendering Jodhas. Like if you're gonna call it he or she just stop talking completely until you read the book again and grasp the most basic fucking concepts it has to offer you.
How many times does Jodhas have to correct people who call it he or she or insist it's secretly male or female and you people still can't just do the bare minimum of calling it by its pronouns?
On the third book? In a trilogy?? which has had characters who uses it/its pronouns the whole damn time?
Are you really this dedicated to shitting on nonbinary people? Really?
And you claim you support trans people? But you can't even do the bare minimum of respecting a fictional character's pronouns?
And you expect us to believe you'll respect real trans people in real life?
When you literally refuse to not sort someone from a literal third reproductive sex from an alien species from outer space into the white western gender binary?????? You really expect us to believe you that you're an ally to trans people?????
Aaor being so depressed and lonely they basically turn into a gelatinous blob is such a mood
Love the Lilith’s Brood art! I love seeing how people imagine the oankali
Thank you anon! 😊
You motivated me to finish my Tate/Kahguyaht picture, sorry if you don't ship them 👽 Octavia Butler forever 💙

I honestly cannot expect a response, but!! I am searching out anyone interested in an RP involving the old as ass ScFi book series, Lilith's Brood (Dawn, Adulthood Rights, and Imago) by Octavia E. Butler! If interested, please be well over 21 (I am 31!!!) and primarily in search of world building, long term character growth rather explicit or sex driven plots! OCs are fairly obviously welcome since it's got such massive world building elements. In total, I'm just enraptured by the entirety of the society, the deep alien culture of the Oankali, the vast dangers, the building of family, and most of all the Oankali and everything about them. They and the Constructs are pretty thoroughly fascinating to me, and I am looking to write them mostly, to be honest. Anyways, just let me know! If you haven't read the series, there's about a dozen free PDFs out on the web, it goes for a very interesting read! As it is I'm a pretty advanced/age old RPer and fanfic writer, big fan generally of long term and plenty of writing per response, but prefer quality over quantity if that's more your style. I will be pretty darn nitpicky about the world of the Oankali and the already established and in depth facts related to their species tbh, but if you’d prefer me to RP them generally, I have no problem doing so! Really half the reason I'm here is because I'd love to keep digging into this series and having difficulty that it's only got the trilogy. Also obviously queer representation and otherwise is more than welcome, we can figure out a way to play it into the series at large, and it could be fun to play with.
