How Does it Feel to Read Classic Sci-Fi?

Orson Scott Card: Two of the most interesting books you’ll ever read if you’re willing to look past a handful of things. And then you find the planet of Chinese people who worship having debilitating OCD. And the Mormonism. And the fact that the author is wildly homophobic and ought to read his own books.

Robert Heinlein (or at least the Wikipedia Summaries): I guess that’s a neat concept—oh, it’s a sex thing. Um. Gotcha.

Ray Bradbury: Man, I gotta read this thing for class huh. Well here’s hoping it’s good! *three hours later* oh. that’s why he’s famous. this will stick with me forever and I will never look at the phrase ‘soft rain’ the same again. christ. And then repeat 3x.

Isaac Asimov: Wow, this is such an interesting concept! I wonder how the exploration of it will influence the plot! Wait, hey, are you going to add any characters? Any of em? No like, with character traits other than ‘robot psychologist’ and ‘autistic’ and ‘woman’? None of em? No, ‘detective’ isn’t a character trait. Those are all just facts. Aaaand now I’m bored.

Ursula K. Le Guin: Hah, get a load of this guy! He’s never heard of nonbinary people before. Lol, what a riot; how dumb do you have to be to comprehend that these people aren’t men *or* women actually? Oh, wait, what’s happening. Oh shit, it was about society and love and learning to understand each other? And now I’m crying? And perhaps a better human being for it??

Andy Weir: Alright, this guy’s a really good writer. Funny, creative, knows so much engineering stuff…ooh, a new book! …I guess he can’t write women. Well, he wouldn’t be the first sci-fi writer…ooh another new book! And it’s more engineering problem solving and—wow. It’s not just women he can’t write. Please stop letting your characters talk to each other.

Lois Lowry: Oh, I remember this being fun when I was a kid! Wouldn’t it be fucked up to not see color? …upon reread, it would be fucked up to have your humanity stripped away, replaced with a tepid, beige ‘happiness’ for all time. Yeah.

Tamsyn Muir (let me have this ok): Haha, “lesbian necromancers in space” sounds fun. Lemme read this. Oh wow, yeah, this is right up my alley. OH GOD WHAT. NO. FUCK. OH SHIT WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING AND WHY IS IT REFERENCING THE BOOK OF RUTH AND HOMESTUCK BACK TO BACK!!! AHHHHHHHHH!! Now give me more please.

I love the running gag that’s Norm just does some crazy shit and then Doof is like a “damn really? I gotta read that instruction manual “and norms like “Yes you should.:)”

First Commisson!

This is my very first commission! It was free and requested by SkyTheToaster. This is his character, a protogen named Sky. I do my best to pay attention to the smallest details, as seen in the extra blobs of seafoam, shading for each side of every house, ~𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈~, and even tiny pebbles on the roads of the village. This is the best thing made by my own hands and I am extremely proud.

I'm unsure how I should price my work for this skill level, so please tell me in the comments!

the more effective place to really complain about this particular venn diagram of fatphobia and misogyny in media character representation is with live action characters rather than anime, probably and obviously, but the Fairy Tail wiki says Lucy is 47kg (104 lbs).

No. Just no.

man . i get that this is just talking into the void but its so weird to come back to old blogs or old online spaces and just look at the gallery of who you used to be. i used to be so...... self obsessed? or at least obsessed with how terrible i felt all the time back then. and now? i feel pretty good. im eating some cheese and crakers. im taking a freaking ceramics class baby... hrt saves lives and also getting off the puter a little bit

[elequinoa-world]

tbh lack of choices in datv is a bit disapointing but it was to be expected. i'm just happy that 1. our inquisitor shows up and is customizable and 2. their love interest is one of those choices cause boy if they forced me to have a solavellan default state world i'd go fucking feral

my inky is happy living a domestic life with dadwall okay you solavellans can keep the angsty stuff okay okay (im so worried something's going to happen to them let her be happy ffs) i don't care about solas one bit, i've made my peace with him being such a central character in datv, but i really don't want to have to fake such a special relationship with him because i really have no attachment to him at all

i'm also hoping onto the tinyest bit of hope that hawke still shows up as a surprise motherfuckers we lied AGAIN and the cc screen pops up when we're about to meet them but it's really copium yeah

[rainbow-arrow]

talked to a vendor at the con today and when i mentioned miraculous, they said 'i just finished season five last month' to which i said, 'oh i'm sorry.'

first time ever someone was confused by that reaction

THE BIKES OH MY GODDD like my hometown being a small shitty town (a historical town no less like she was NOT built with modern infrastructure in mind) isn't huge on bikes so moving to my uni city was ENLIGHTENING. i have had surprisingly few run-ins with actual cars considering my frankly bullshit methods of crossing roads but the BIKES????? i cant hear them coming and dont look bc of aforementioned bullshit the way ive almost died several times bc of cyclists they try and wipe you clean out they have BLOODLUST inside those helmets

and the deliveroo cyclists that just. RIDE UP ONTO THE SIDEWALK??? LIKE??? they have no excuse then, i’m not in their way or anything!!! i’m minding my own business on the sidewalk!!! where i’m supposed to be!!! they fully just want to murder everyone i think!!! i’ve almost gotten taken out by more than i can say because they just come SCREECHING in and park their bike on the sidewalk

[osanzo]

if i had a nickel for every time an old lady told me wearing a mask doesn’t do anything but force me to breathe my own carbon dioxide and that i’d eventually get sick from it no really she was a nurse for x number of years then i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s alarming that it happened twice

Wait, fidget spinners. I never understood why people like them, they get boring in like 3 minutes tops. And in school kids kept going "Hey Isaiah, you might like this, it'll help you focus" and I had to pretend it was worth a damn because clicking a pen was "too loud"

There needs to be a word specifically for the kind of things that you've autisticly decided you Do Not Care About. Like a game or a show or band or whatever where you have nothing specifically against it, you don't hate it or anything, but you've done that thing where you decided you don't care about it at all.

So you get very mildly annoyed when it still manages to show up on your dash, as it's purely a waste of your time. Just something to scroll past.

(I have no idea if more neurotypical people do this, but I know (and am) several autistic people who've done the "THE COUNCIL HAS DECIDED WE DO NOT CARE EVEN SLIGHTLY ABOUT... HALO. ANYTHING WE LEARN ABOUT HALO (AGAINST OUR WILL) IS A WASTE OF MEMORY SPACE AND TIME. You can play and love it all you want though, we have nothing against it. It's just not for me.")
