retrieved my copy of zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance from my parents house purely so that it could go on in the “in conversation with plato’s phaedrus” section of my bookshelf, but it has a weird stain on the cover so now i have to decide if it’s worth it to re-purchase a book i don’t actually plan to reread, purely for the sake of the bit

if a characters name is just a word related to their powers or job then they are transgender. because obviously their parents wouldnt know that information the second theyre born so how would they have those names. its because they named themselves

The kid looked up. There was a girl watching them. People were passing up and down the street, and some of them walked between the kid and the girl, but she stood stock still and just stared at him. And at Maurice. She had the same nail-you-to-the-wall look that he associated with Peaches. She looked like the kind of person who asked questions. And her hair was too red and her nose was too long. And she wore a long black dress with black lace fringing. No good comes of that sort of thing.

The back of Discworld novels: wowee terry's whipped another wacky and wild adventure for us this time! there's so many silly shenanigans and witty wordplay in this book that you're sure to have a hilarious time!

Discword novels: a cynical alcoholic navigating and overcoming the pointlessness of his job, a transparent metaphor for racism and gun violence in the police system and in general, an intelligent young girl overcoming the ideas she's been taught by her culture and the media she consumes, just an entire novel made of commentary on war and gender, using talking animals as a way to explore what defines personhood and contrasting stories vs reality, an ex-convict coming to terms with the damage he's caused and fighting monopolies that are trying to do the same thing,

Based on Patience and Sarah (1969) by Alma Routsong and Maurice (~1914) by E.M. Forster.

I drew something similar a couple years ago but have been wanting to revisit it — both are some of the earliest lgbtq books with a happy ending and I cherish that a lot. Also, trying to post a version without the panels with nudity to see if Tumblr will accept it this time
