Okay Ali didn't post any of the asks because apparently there were a lot of spirals. I just didn't want anyone to think I intentionally left the asks out but here is her response to the BTS season 7 video. I agree with all of this!

I'm not going to post any of the asks because people are having breakdowns in my box tonight. Most of the breakdowns are lighthearted and fun but the others are angry and mean so I'm not going to post any of them. Here are my thoughts on the video though.

We'll do the fun breakdown first because it was such a fun little video. Yay for an Anirudh sighting! I know it's from last season but I love Ravi so it made me happy to see a good bit of him in that video. Kenny is a treasure and we should all be so lucky to work with and know someone who just genuinely seems like pure joy to be around. Aisha and her spectacular smile. Ryan in those shades, 'hello fine sir' and Oliver with his little hippity hops can come at me with those tongs any day. I adore this cast 💗

Now for the other side, I'm going to first say that there were several cast members we didn't see. We didn't see Jennifer, Angela or Tracie so it's not like everyone was in the video. Secondly, and I am NOT going to be answering any rage asks that result from this part, he's not that kind of cast member. Period. There is no one sitting around combining through videos looking for frames of him to post. I'm not saying that in any kind of derogatory sense. He is a background character. They don't tend to get a lot of BTS focus. They weren't trolling you or him. He just honestly isn't at that level. I understand from all of the asks that he was clearly involved in a scene they used and you feel like he was deliberately cut out but he wasn't. Oliver was goofing off and Oliver was the one they would have always used from that scene. Lastly, we saw him in several BTS videos last season and he was never goofing off. He was either sitting alone or standing and waiting. We never saw him joking around in the BTS videos he appeared in. So I also don't think there's a ton of videos they have of him playing with the cast. Again, not saying that to be mean. We all saw the videos. He wasn't ever goofing off with them. I know people have posted videos of him goofing off on the SWAT set but that's an entirely different environment for him. He's more involved and has been around them more. It makes sense that he would be more demonstrably comfortable there. I understand that people allowed themselves to be talked into very particular expectations this off-season and people are becoming upset now that those expectations appear to have been off., at least so far. None of us have any guarantees about what's coming this season. Regardless of what anyone is telling you, none of us know anything for sure. I promise you no one has insider information. We're all just guessing based on what we've seen so far from last off-season up til now. The show is just under 5 weeks away. You're just going to have to wait. He was never going to be a main and he was never going to be a big focus. I'm sorry you believe you were promised otherwise. Again, I will not be responding to any of your angry posts. They're not helping anything. Allow people to enjoy what we are getting. It's not our fault you're not happy with the content. Try and take care of yourselves. None of this is worth the constant anger. It's a television show.

Thank you very much Nonny!

Okay, I got a ton of asks about that season 7 bts video they posted yesterday. All of them basically talked about the same topic of Lou not being in the video and what that could possibly mean. Some of you wanted to know Ali's opinion on this topic as well. I have, just like Ali, decided to not post every single ask about this topic separately, but to answer them all in one go here.

So, here it is! I agree with Ali on this.

There were a lot of actors we didn't see. We mostly saw the core 4 (Oliver, Ryan, Aisha and Kenny) and Anirudh, because they goof off the most. If you look at this season, we see the same thing. It's mostly the core 4 and some Peter in those bts videos and pictures so far.

I don't think we, as Buddie shippers, should pin all of our expectations on one video either. At the end of the day, none of us know the full details on what season 8 is going to bring us. Ali is right on that one.

But I will say this: from a Buddie point of view, I do think we have seen a ton of very promising signs at this point. The PR involving Ryan is insane at this moment and the upcoming Ryan interviews are definitely making me go: 👀👀👀👀. All of this reminds me so much of the intense Oliver promo we got right before season 7.

So, let's focus on that content and the fun bts the cast and crew are posting almost every two days now. Let's enjoy videos like the one talked about, for what it is: happy bts with the cast we love! Let's keep on speculating and analyzing. I'm sure we'll have lots to talk about once those Ryan interviews drop. 😋

It will keep up the positivity. God knows we need every single scrap of positivity in fandom these days. 😉

IMPORTANT! Please don't repost this ask and/or a link that leads straight to my Tumblr account on Twitter or any other social media. Thank you!

Heads up! For anyone who is giving me the shifty eyes for reposting Ali's updates instead of reblogging. Read this.

Remember, no hate in comments, reblogs or inboxes. Let's keep it civil and respectful. Thank you.

If you are interested in more of Ali’s posts, you can find all of her posts so far under the tag: anonymous blog I love.

ok some thoughts for a ‘what if’ reboot:

vice kings: julius, tanya, pierce, johnny.

ben died in the 70s & julius inherited the vice kings. he was unable to walk away from such power.

pierce is tanya’s best friend, the only guy who doesn’t want something from her except friendship and respect. she’s trying to convince him they can overthrow jules.

johnny is a professional boxer beholden to the kingdom come entertainment conglomerate. they have many times covered up his crimes and arrests.

saints: angela, lin, aisha, miguel.

angela takes offence at jules’ perversion of her brother’s memory, the things he’s doing in ben’s name. worst of all, she never saw any profits for the part she played in his rise.

aisha, lin and miguel are lieutenants with their own crews.

miguel is carlos’ older brother.

brotherhood mc: maero, victor, troy.

a biker gang.

the carnales were completely wiped out in the 70s, so victor was never affiliated with them. he was good friends with maero and followed him when he started the gang.

troy is undercover for the stilwater pd.

stilwater tongs: wong, donnie, shaundi.

the saints and wong strike up an alliance to take on julius and swap members to ensure the other behaves. wong receives shaundi, a 17 year old techie who gets along with his nephew.

colombians: manuel, luz, dex.

dex is the colombians’ man on the ground in stilwater.

June Reading Recap

Heaven Official's Blessing: vol. 6 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. BOOK FOUR OF TGCF BABY, WE LOVE A DOWNWARD SPIRAL

I'm not saying that book four and all of the continuous trauma and misery that comes with it is my favorite part of TGCF as a whole, but I am saying it's very good for me personally and has some of my favorite moments.

Urban Jungle: The History and Future of Nature in the City by Ben Wilson. I read Darwin Comes to Town some years ago and was very struck by it (drove people around me crazy by referencing it constantly in conversation), so when I saw this book on a new releases table I immediately put it on my to-read list. I ended up being...not dissatisfied with it, but not really satisfied, either. A solid 3-star read, for some interesting stuff around how cities have and are dealing with the question of nature in an urban environment. Read interestingly paired with Fuzz by Mary Roach, which I also read recently.

I felt like in some places the author veered a little more into apologetics for why cities are good for nature, actually, than I found strictly convincing. But I'd say if you've got some spare time and any interest in urban infrastructure and the natural world, it's worth a read.

Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati. A second book in recent memory that was a retelling of a Greek myth and didn't make me actively angry! I don't know that I'd say I recommend it either, though. There were things I liked about it, and it was certainly interesting to see an iteration of the story of Clytemnestra that makes use of the version where Agamemnon was her second marriage and she had a previous husband and child. I think what I lost with that version, though, was that it ended up with an Agamemnon who was never anything but nasty and brutish, which, while I don't necessarily mind that as a version, I think makes for a slightly less compelling story. A genuine betrayal is always more fun than vindication of existing hatred, don't you know.

If you're as obsessed with Clytemnestra specifically as I am then I'd say to read this even though it's not the best work of Clytemnestra lit I've read, but otherwise I don't think I'd recommend it more broadly.

Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini. I checked this one out from the library and was deeply self conscious as the librarian was looking at the title, because boy could that go a lot of directions. Ultimately, I appreciated a lot of what this book was doing, and learned a great deal, but I don't think I'd say I enjoyed it, even in the sense that one can enjoy a book like this. I felt like it dwelt a lot more on the history of race science than I was expecting it to, and didn't dig as much into the current (as in, past 10 years) resurgence as I would've liked. She got into some of it, but it felt like most of the book was more about the 20th century than the 21st. Still, though, a compelling and thorough overview of the history of race science in Europe and North America.

The Gathering Storm / Towers of Midnight / A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan. I feel like I have no way of objectively assessing Wheel of Time as a series because it is so intensely intertwined with a whole bunch of really strong emotions and I recognize that. That being said, I did cry during A Memory of Light so I was obligated to give it five stars by my own rule, even if overall I don't think it's one of my favorites. I spent too much time during this readthrough thinking about Brandon Sanderson-isms and I would have appreciated if I hadn't been doing that, but I wouldn't have been doing it if it didn't feel so obvious to me.

I think of these three The Gathering Storm is my personal favorite. Reading Rand in it got really rough, though, and I think I'm sort of in the minority in not hating the catharsis on Dragonmount at the end. I can see peoples' points with it, but for me personally I don't think the tension could've gone on any longer and I don't know that I have a tone-consistent way of releasing it that I would've written.

That's all for June, which was a pretty slow reading month...probably going into another one for July. Currently I'm reading Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin by Timothy Snyder (a historian I've read before and really liked); I'm not sure what I'm going to read next but leaning toward one of the SFF new releases waiting for me on my shelf. Maybe Witch King by Martha Wells. I do want to try to finish QJJ this month, also - I'm very close to the end, just need to sit down and read the rest in ~an hour or so.

Also: taking horror novel recommendations, I've been feeling a hankering lately.

!!!FOR THE WRITING ASKS!!!

What writers have inspired you the most?

(p.s. you inspire me ❤)

Ohh thank you so much! I'm really touched and very, very happy to hear I have inspired you. It means a lot!

As to my inspirations:

A few years ago I had a Holy Trinity of Authors:

--Angela Carter. Exquisite baroque prose and weird stories. Uncategorizable. There's no one like her. While writing one of my fics, I would read a passage from one her short stories before writing to put myself in the mood I wanted to capture.

--Dorothy Dunnett. Exquisite baroque prose and angsty stories with excellent plotting and characterisation. Really dense writing. Not an author I easily recommend tbh. She inspires me to write clever, competent characters.

--Donna Tartt. Exquisite baroque prose (you might notice a pattern here). I've only read two of her novels, but the impact The Secret History had on me was enough to put her on this pedestal.

If I was to revise my Holy Trinity, Mo Xiang Tong Xiu would go up there. I love how she ostensibly writes about two dudes falling in love but also explores really deep themes in her stories. She is really funny, but not afraid to bring out the knives--and when she does? Boy, she doesn't pull any punches. I'm completely in awe of this author, ngl.

Also, I love:

--Zyranna Zateli. A Greek author of stunning, magical realist, convoluted and rambling stories. Unique.

--KJ Charles. Writes fab queer romance and her writing is going from strength to strength. Excellent sense of humour that is evident in her witty prose. Awesome secondary cast, nuanced characterisation.

--CS Pacat, for her Captive Prince series. Such delicious tension! It inspired me to try and ramp up the tension in my stories. My goal is to write a romance one day that will have the same kind of UST as CaPri.

They're so many fic authors I love and have been inspired from that this list would be a mile long so I'll stick to two:

--frayach, because (guess why) I love her prose. I've read her Bound Skerry fic upwards of 20 times.

--astolat. I'm a huge fantasy author and when I read astolat's drarry fics, I fell in love with the way she created a new fantasy lore in each of her stories, either a type of bonding or a spell or the erosmancy thing etc. She inspired me to try and create something similar in my stories, to come up with a unique type of magic or lore. That's when I was writing The Full Monty and I created the Lust Leaks. Also, why I created the Incubus lore in my Hush, darling fic.

Thanks for the ask!

Metempsychosis - SP23 Final 3D Moving Image Screening for Digital Bodies Class at NYU Tisch from Snow Yunxue Fu on Vimeo.

We invite you to a journey of Metempsychosis, an ancient Greek philosophical concept that speaks to the transmigration of the soul from one body to another, and it highlights the idea that our existence is not limited to our physical body. We intend to lead the audience to embark on an immersive journey into the world of digital simulacrums. The screening itself can be seen as an attempt to reconcile our symbiotic coexistence with a world beyond our biological sensation. Keep in mind the questions that are simultaneously embedded in the Metempsychosis “experience”: to what extent can we push our existence beyond our physical bodies? How do the blurring boundaries between the physical and digital worlds influence our self-perception? What role do digital simulacrums play in shaping our perception of reality and consciousness? ….

The screening is organized by the students from Professor Snow Yunxue Fu’s Emerging Media Studio - Digital Bodies (2023 Spring) course at NYU Tisch School of the Arts to showcase the final Digital 3D Moving Image Artworks. Digital Bodies is a studio class that examines and explores the current technological applications and conceptual implications of the post-photographic digital human 3D simulations.

Exhibiting Artists: Helen Chen, Rolin Dai, Amy Gao, Seyeon Jeong, Olivia Macagba, Lamar Mufti, Aldi Jaramillo Lara, Jesus Ulloa, Rachel Chenlei Wang, Tiger Wu, Tong Xie, Angela Xu, Daisy Ao Zhang, Jerry Zhao, Phoenix-li Mchayle

Medical student teaches radiologists and her professors about X-rays and Black hairstyles

Temple University medical student Angela Udongwo is turning the tables on her professors and becoming the teacher. Udongwo identified issues with how many physicians and radiologists misidentify Black hairstyles — like locs, braids and twists — in X-rays. This can lead to further perhaps unnecessary scans and more radiation exposure for Black patients. Udongwo joins host Scott Tong to discuss the…

ive recently looked down the rabbithole of modern radical feminism, as a genderqueer person. ive come to the conclusion that i fucking despise radfeminism and all its collaborators. more than half of the people ive come across who tout themselves as radfems are genuinely deranged and horrifically racist/transphobic individuals, even the so called "tirfs".

now, the problem is, is that i still want to theoretically learn about radical feminism. sorry if thats bizarre and weird, but i dont want to delve into witch-hunting hate of an ideology that i dont even fully understand. i dont think i will ever stop hating radfeminism, something i perceive as a downright cult, but i still want to try and understand it? if any of that makes sense.

so, that was a really longwinded way to ask; do you have any advice on this? whether it be just telling me to give up, or giving me some educational resources that might help a person like me. if this is too stupid of a question feel free to ignore!! but i still wanted to try, because my research into this has genuinely given me a lot of anxiety and dysphoria, as silly as that is.

Not a stupid question at all! Despite my qualms with the radfem community, I still find some of theory useful. And it’s very helpful to read theory of ideologies you disagree with so you can better understand where/why they falter.

And not all of radfem theory is bad; some of it, I think, is absolutely indispensable for a principled critique of heterosexuality (Catherine Mackinnon and Carole Pateman specifically). You just gotta go in with a critical eye because a lot of it is white-/middle class-centered.

My tips would be to first learn about the history of the second wave to get some historical context. Rosemarie Tong’s “Feminist Thought” is good for this. Then I would recommend looking into Dworkin, Millet, Firestone, Mackinnon, Pateman. And once you feel like you’ve got a good understanding of what the main ideas of radfeminism were, then you can move onto the critiques (mostly from feminists of color). For that, I recommend:

Women, Race, and Class by Angela Davis

Audre Lorde’s letter to Mary Daly

Radical Feminism and Feminist Radicalism by Ellen Willis

White Women Listen! by Hazel Carby

Feminist Theory by bell hooks

The Incompaitble Ménage a Trois by Gloria Joseph

Feminism, Moralism, and Pornography by Ellen Willis

You can always reach out to me with questions or requests for more recs :) good luck! Tbh I think it’ll be a very interesting journey for you because you’ll end up realizing how many radfems online actually do not know shit about the theory lol
