Would you ever consider a physical release of what lurks beneath? I adore this comic and would love to have a copy if it were ever meant to be!
yeah! (: My friend is resizing WLB for print!
It's slow going, these pages need a lot of editing. None of the night scenes in this comic would print nicely, so i need to lighten the colors in a lot of scenes. But i am actively working on it! (:
It's going to take some time.
#answers#first volume should be chapters 1-18#but with 17 pushed to the second volume because its a thresher chapter and its placement is flexible#It's over 400 pages its going to be beefy#I really want to end it on Trouts attack though

I kinda always forget the Rhuidean stuff happens this early in the Shadow Rising (I am 400 pages into the book) like I always think of it as almost like the climax of Rand's part of the book, but its not even the halfway point (I am 400 pages into the book) and happens before Perrin or the Elayne/Nynaeve arcs even really start (I am 400 pages into the book)
#its just like that memorable of a section that my brain rearranges everything to make it the climax i guess lol#400 pages into the book if you're wondering#wheel of time#wot book spoilers#the shadow rising

thinking abt how much karasuba hates the idea of an ashikabi so much. yume talking for hours abt how an ashikabi and sekirei bond so intimately and just the sheer horror that she knows she will have to be winged eventually. soulmate horror even
#everytime i open my phone gallery for my 400+ collection of sekirei pages is a new horror#yume being a reject of the system yet talking abt it so fondly because its ingrained in her#karasuba being a reject of the system by her own volition. the sheer horror of it all#like there are gay sekirei/ashikabi but theyre still a minority. the sytem itself is inherently patriarchal and heteronormative#a sekirei/sekirei relationship is by the literal definition of the word queer#honestly sekirei could have explored so much of its queer aspects (ie uzume/chiho and homura/minato) but the target audience isnt#mentally ill queer people its a harem manga#(im not counting east ashikabi/mutsu that one was. um. yknow.)#the queer reading of sekirei if you take it from karasuba/yumes pov is geniuenly horrific i dont think the mangaka was thinking that far#sekirei#•txt

also I cannot overstate the very surreal feeling of going from stormlight to other books
i went from the 1000+ pages four books back to back to back, a book took over a week (and I'm a fast reader AND unemployed, all I did was read)
and then uh. Edgedancer is 200 pages.
Well! that's okay! Edgedancer is a novella! It's ok that I finished it in like, two and a half hours! We love Lift!
And then I go to Mistborn era 2 again with 500 pages.
I fear I may be entirely caught up by the week's end. What will I do then???
#cosmere#after Mistborn what even is there???#well Yumi and tress#hang on#500 AND 400 PAGES NOOOOOOOOOO#this will NOT last me until wind and truth comes out I fear#ok yes technically I have a lot of books left#I have barely left the cosmere#but I LIKE the cosmere#and I guess I could go to wheel of time too#I need a job and QUICK or I'll run out of books#I started these books back in May sure been a second but like I've read most of them since becoming unemployed#with nothing to take up my time its just. book.

There are works which are not [genre] but works made that have read a lot of [genre]. YJ is not an anime but it is a cartoon that has watched a lot of anime. MTMTE is not a comedy but it is a space opera that has watched a lot of sitcoms. I’d like to learn the term for a work that is deep in conversation with a genre without belonging to that genre even as a hybrid. Specifically works that address, lampshade, satirize, employ genre signposts without obeying genre conventions.
#or another example. oofuri is a sports manga and it is also a bl and that’s perfectly fine#ao no flag is a romance and is not a bl despite hitting a lot of the bl tropes. it is a manga that expects you to know what a bl looks like#and it consciously evades that classification. the resolutions it chooses and the framing it uses aren’t right. aren’t the same#MTMTE is comic (hah) but unlike a true comedy the resolution never comes from irony or fun or a twist#discworld is a deadly serious fantasy AND a pure comedy because every book’s resolution is a trick of irony and deception.#each book is a 400 page joke that ends with a hell of a punchline.#MTMTE on the other hand resolves its arcs in a very straightforward way#there’s not necessarily a gotcha or a ‘you thought!’ even the plot twists are an act of drama rather than cleverness#so while MTMTE has a sense of humour it’s just a story with jokes rather than a comedy#I know I know Greek comedy blah blah in this post I’m using the modern sense of the term#kelsey rambles#or Star Wars—it’s a space western action series that has watched a lot of samurai movies (OT) and some wuxia (PT/EU)

a double flash event near empire territory has been detected by satellites
#unless eggman just doesnt test his nukes at all#although he could do underground tests#im actually a little intrigued by his decision to murder-suicide by launching an SLBM at station square while he was still there in sa1#why use surface burst? its like he wasnt trying to maximize destruction at all#moreover how was he able to get a ballistic missile submarine so close to station square#coast guard was sleeping?#also SLBMs are mostly used as second strike (retaliation) rockets since theyre more likely to survive a first strike due to being underwate#where are your normal icbms eggman#maximizing retaliatory capacity is beta nuclear power behaviour#dont you want to set the standard for what your enemy can strike? loser#unfortunately i was forced to read 400 pages about nuclear programs + development last weekend and its rotting my brain#tons of nuclear accident reports too#theyre kinda wild like these morons actually drove a bomber into a warehouse full of nukes that should have blown up a significant#chunk of england. and they just didnt go off so they got very lucky#also reactors used to catch on fire a lot#redposts

unexpected but callum might be one of my fave book characters Ever
#there has never been a character more pathetic than him and its perfect#like its not even pathetic in a funny way its just sad and kind of gross.and SO compelling#i think its very interesting how tristan i think is def the one most of the readers will relate to the most and we have something else#in common with him and thats that we spend so significantly much more time with callum than the other characters do inside the story#we have all his chapters that we read and tristans whole yknow. lets say Situation with with him. the readers and tristan are gonna have#a more complex view on him and be more conflicted#and i think callum is like a tragic sad boy asshole character perfected bc here it TRULY isnt done to make him more sympathetic#but its utilized succesfully to affect other parts of the story#and yet i cant help but in a way root for him bc he stands alone and as sort of a contrarian when all the others are falling over themselves#trying to mental gymnastics their way through everything and to different degrees fall into the cult way of thinking#like i said. complex. i think hes great!#im almost at 400 pages of the second book and im hoping to get the last abt 150 pages done before the turn of the month 💀#the small paperback version of the 3rd book was released in finland TODAY so ill be visiting the bookstore whenever i pass one

OH that was the end of the first book huh. 400 pages in how many days kjfg didnt expect that. the writing is............................... good? its very different. stylistically. from. danmei translations ive been reading for the past ~year lol. and also formally different in ways that mean im not having to absorb so much information with every line and can breeze thru a lot quicker. its been. soooo long since ive read sth like this. and anyways i like it and im looking forward to reading more. and im obsessed with moon (and stone. stone in every scene from now on please.)
#jr raksura#not to say the danmeis i read are particularly conceptually dense kjdfg (gesturing at my avoidance of stray u___u)#but like now that i can compare and contrast theyre generally Doing something with every line. whether like. setting up future info or#paying off on past info or giving me beautiful fanservice. theyre very. busy? no. efficient? hm#purposeful?#where as this one is nicely meandering and has a lot of deadends <- cant explain this#like i did just read 400 pages but what did i learn most out of it. the broadest strokes of this world and its people and this particular#society. but more than that. what the pagetime was concerned with. was moon and his Particular personality having Particular thoughts abt#everything going on. funny funny man

today in “historical depictions of male-male intimacy that made me cry”: inside a tent in the canadian rockies by john singer sargent
#currently reading the grand affair which is in many ways just a 400 page treatment of sargents queerness#and unraveling the difficulties of claiming him as a queer artist given the necessary lack of hard evidence in the era#and its handled very elegantly in the book but EYE am not a publishing art historian and so can say: this is SUCH a queer watercolor#just the warmth and intimacy and openness of this painting………………#you come in from a long day of looking at mountains and your beloved valet/nude model/traveling companion of 20 years is there#wearing his hat kind of silly in a pile of your shared belongings so you paint him like that………#jss you cant keep doing this to me

1, 4, 12, 24, 25!!! for the historical asks :D @brawngp2009
Ask me about my historical interests :D
TAN!!!! Tysm for the ask 🥺🥺 God, I'd love to answer all these questions tbh, they're so fun!!!
1. Who is your favourite historical person?
I have a few 🤭🤭 HRE Charles VI, Napoleon Bonaparte, T.E. Lawrence. There's others I like of course, but those are definitely the three I research the most! Also I'm inherently fascinated with most Habsburgs from like, 1400 to 1800, but its tough to research in depth about all of them :,)
4. Favourite historical era?
Right now, either the late Baroque period or WWI, since that's what I primarily read about these days. But I have a huge love for the Napoleonic Era, and I'd really like to delve deep into it soon, but it's just so vast! I also have a fondness for the early Rennaisance period of the Habsburgs, its genuinely so funny and unhinged, I need to read more. But yeah the Baroque period in Austria/HRE and right now, the Middle Eastern Theater of WWI, since I'm deep in a book about it rn. The latter haunts me all the time, I have too many thoughts and feelings about it ;;;
12. Would you take part in reenactment? In what era and as whom?
Maybe??? Gah, honestly the opportunity to dress up in any kind of historical clothing or uniforms is sooooo appealing to me. I get so incredibly jealous watching vids of people who only wear historical clothing or people who get to dress in full historical uniform. I think it'd be fun to either go to a Baroque masquerade or to participate in like a Napoleonic Wars or WWI reenactment :D I'm mostly just interested in the clothes icl
24. Most underrated historical figure?
Hmmm honestly I think so much about the narrative in this one J.C. Leyendecker book I have. How Norman Rockwell did everything he could to copy what Leyendecker was doing. Yet everyone only ever really talks about Rockwell now, in terms of America Illustration, and Leydendecker is so much lesser known, which is frustrating. So yeah I wish people would give him more credit for how much he shaped American imagery and advertising. He popularized, to name a few: depiction of Santa as a bearded jolly man dressed in red, the New Years being represented by a baby, etc. As well as popularizing an idealized look for men through his advertising art.
25. Most overrated historical figure in your opinion?
I've talked about this a lot but I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Franz Joseph and Sisi and the era of the Austro-Hungary monarchy. They're not necessarily uninteresting, but it pisses me off how over-represented they are when discussing Habsburg and Austrian history as a whole, and the way people act like its the only meaningful era of Habsburg/Austrian history to study. If you go to Vienna, they are Habsburgs fanatics, BUT MOSTLY ONLY FOR THAT ERA.
I swear to god, every Habsburg biography dedicates half of the book to Austro-Hungary and crams ~400+ years of history into the other half. Theres so many fascinating figures and moments in those 400 years but nope, let only talk about Franz Joseph. The infernal rage I feel opening books titled "The Habsburgs" and yet its just the late 1800s-early 1900s. All of this combined has really soured me on that era and I have no interest in it really. Also I kinda despise most if not all monarchies post-Napoleon, they become unfun to me after that point.
#the book thing pisses me off soooooooooo fucking much#i just want a book about only those prior 400 years thanks#THERES SO MANY INTERESTING THINGD#yet they devote all those pages to one era its so annoying!!#i even saw a book review about some history book that covered like 1400-end of their rule#and the reviewer was like: 'its a slog till you get to austro-hungary' SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!!!!!!#it makes me never want to read any more about that era just as protest#catie.asks.

Reading is so strange for me bc if a book REALLY interests me I can finish it in a day or two, no matter how long it is. But if a book is slow or doesn't hit the right happy sensors it could take me months to finish
#me reading almost 400 pages in 2 days but struggling to finish a childrens book bc im bored by it.#i hate my brain & its selective smarts >:(

ONE MORE PARAGRAPH AND THEN IM FREEEEEEEEEEE (kinda)
#i still have to write figure legends and do the citations#but figure legends hopefully wont be too bad once the main text is written#and the citations are. well. they are what they are#at least all the reading is done i just have to get the library set up and figure out what goes where#its annoying but at least i can listen to music again while im doing it#but the writing. this last paragraph. the end is so close and yet so far#i need to juice another. idk. probably 400 words out of my brain and then im done.#i get to send it off to my advisor and wait for edits#or. hopefully. hopefully she doesnt just tell me 'write it better' again#as it is we are at 9 full pages of DENSE text. like 3 line breaks per page dense#and yeah sure 2 of those pages are methods section stuff that my old coworker wrote#but like. girl there are so many words. so many. i am pressing my brain into the juicer and getting only dust#please. please. just a few more drops of juice. thats all i need just a little more juice#oh god and then i have to write my dissertation after this......
