Twig Liveblog for Arc 20 + Epilogue

i finally did it! after over a year of slogging through ball-stabbing battles, i have finished reading wildbow's "twig." in the future i'm gonna write a goodreads-review-style overview of my take on the whole thing; this post will merely focus on the final arc and epilogue.

i basically think it was the worst arc of all time because the infante lost.

but seriously: the first half of the arc, despite the presence of the infante and the striking landship imagery, was quite boring, more ball-stabbing, etc. not to mention kind of an anti-climax--the infante falls too easily, too tits-engravenly.

the latter half, though, the search for hayle and fray, was great, albeit a little drawn out--the most fun i've had with twig in months. the whole time i was thinking "isn't this a little oedipal, wibblybibble? kind of a retread of worm?" but then there's that beautiful moment in 20.18 when sy "splits"--it recalls the moment in gravity's rainbow wherein slothrop "becomes a crossroads"--and goes from first-person singular to first-person plural and kills hayle in one of those nerd-chill-inducing Wildbow Epiphanic Moments. and the thing is, it is oedipal--it's only that it takes Oedipus seriously. sylvester comes of age exactly at the moment he breaks the triangulated repression-mold (hayle-fray-sy) that has tormented him these past 1.5 million words.

i found it to be a powerful meditation on the revolutionary potential of transindividuality, a theme present throughout the book that here achieves its sublime conclusion. being revolutionary not only means flesh and blood battles but a revolution of the mind, overcoming the fascist strictures of individual "subjectivity." this is possible, as sy demonstrates, through love.

the epilogues were great too. this is a point i'm stealing from @bug4932 but the emily chapter was great, especially because of its transgender content. and the final epilogue chapter was so fun and triumphant and funny. twig is great because wildbow puts his most interesting ideas--a kind of deleuzoguattarian transhumanism--on display, and they are nowhere more felt and interesting than in these final passages.

more thoughts to come, but thank god i'm done with all that--parts of it sucked but it was very rewarding, and i'd recommend it as a next read to anyone who loved worm!
