AHHH CHAPTER ONE OF MY STORY JUZST DROPPED I DID AN AUIDOBOOK TYPE VIDEO ON IT DONT BE SCARED GO WATCH

[barbarianiswriting]

sometimes i just gotta judge people and how they interact with books. if big words scare you, learn them. if long paragraphs upsets you, find a different copy with better accessibility or read the auidobook.

and because of how simplified our language, especially the written word, has gotten, any books who use verbose exploration of the language often get sidelined. or, on the other hand, you do get pretentious motherfuckers wanting to use something to sound smart (which then perpetuates the whole "god, big words or complex phrases are so stupid, why didnt you just say x"). its just all so stupid.

with the literacy declining as it has been for generations (some being an institutionalized problem with schools and how they teach kids to read, some being a societal and media problem, and some being an apathy problem. deadly cocktail and all that), we need better books to be talked about and read more- because writers are still writing them ! ones that use "big" words appropriately and without an air of pretentiousness, more complex characters and themes. we need to step away from content and have stories be stories again. real, living and breathing stories.

and im not saying everything has to be a rich and complex stories- i love my easy and schlocky horror, people deserve their soft romances or their written porn, we all want cozy mysteries. its just i think theres been a shift in whats prioritized. and no longer are these comforts just that- comforts. theyre expected to be churned out at a ridiculous pace that leaves no room for any care or personal connections. so even our easy stories, the ones that wed go to for peace and quiet, are impersonal and a bit cold, even. hollow and meant only to be read once- maybe twice- before being shelved. the only accomplished is having has read it at all and added another book to your growing shelf. the prize isnt the story, its the number of how many youve read.

and sure, maybe i do have a pretentious streak, maybe im talking out of my fucking ass. i get that. ive never wanted to pretend my viewpoint is impartial. its not, that much is obvious. but all of it is something i think about a lot.

its just. language, writing, conversation- its all an art and people are using it like some cheap pony trick. *mishandling it. cutting it up and hollowing it out as to digest better.

*but then again- is there even such a thing as mishandling art? can someone, with the ability to write (in any capacity, doesnt have to be good), mishandle words itself? no, i dont fundamentally believe so. because i dont think any of this is an individual problem, rather an industry problem. much like how a sequel or a remake to a popular movie feels like a cash grab. these things typically arent made because the artists (writers, directors, filmmakers) want to make them. theyre told to. and even in cases where they werent told to- i believe its commonly (not always) easy to see when someone made something for the money or for the passion. thats where i think the problem really lies. and i believe because those kind of products are typically easier to consume (as theyre directly made soley to be consumed, not thought about), the audiences want more of them. and so more are churned out. i dont think the corruption lies with the consumer but rather the capitalism that infects all art mixed with the decline in ardent love for literature (and, of course, literacy)

I understand not wanting read a sad scene lol, but personally I feel TBM expanded on Jasons character more than the multiple books he was alive in, or at least wrapped it up, (but that's just my opinion). Honestly other than Caleo the series is very good. It explores themes of redemption and the chain of abuse well without overly relying on romance to cheapen the plot. If you enjoy that and also profound character development, humor, and dampening the pages with tears, I would suggest to give it a try. The auidobooks are also VERY good. Maybe come up with your own opinion on the books if you do try to read them!! But I understand if not😄😄

Whenever someone says they refuse to read ToA because of (you know who's) death, I want to cry a little bit.

That's you, refusing to read peak fiction and comedic narration🙄🙄

(Not art, sorry)

Edit: Also everyone saying Caleo kinda ruined it that's valid lol did not like that. But there are many other things I think make reading it worth it!! Ofc everyone is entitled to their opinions, I know how messy tumblr can get sometimes so let's keep discussion respectful!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

🎙️which one of your fics would you like someone to make a pod-fic of?

I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know much about podfics. It's like an auidobook, right? Or is it more involved?

Either way, I would want one of my major fics, just because they're longer. If we could get three narrators, I'd love to hear Dark Mistress--I think that fic has the most intentionally poetic language in my catalog. If it's all by one person, I'd stick with one POV and say Golden Cuffs. On the House would be fun too, but that's not finished yet so I'm pulling it out of the running.

So that introduction of Frank's character was SO relatable (we all need at least two towels!) , so funny, and so brilliantly brought to life in the auidobook version that I STILL giggle when I hear it. I am currently on my (insert high number, possibly dangerously high) listen of the first three books and Frank continues to be one of my absolute favourites.

I wonder if Frank ever got his 2nd towel

Congrats @authormdneu on this cool audio! I got mine! Posted @withregram • @authormdneu Get yourself ready for this creepy tale about a group of friends and a small town. Steve Connor is back to narrate this wonderful story. Blurb: It’s been twenty years since the quiet Midwestern town of Lakeview was struck by tragedy. But every year on the anniversary of the tragic event Teddy returns home for ‘The Reunion’. Lakeview, like Teddy, has secrets and not all mysteries should come to light. "Not all towns should reveal their secrets." . @connorysh #audiobooks #auidobook #halloween #halloween2021 #spookystories #Ghoststories #books #shortstories #shortstories📒 #shortstoriesbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtGxbEPMhM/?utm_medium=tumblr

never posted my reasoning for the "already reads/has read" theory tier did i

fl4k: archivist job. easy access to books

gaige: canonically is based and listens to auidobooks. so she'd have it on audiobook

tannis: educated. and i feel like it

zer0: educated nerd of ambiguous age, def read marx as part of comprehensive philosophical studies

clay: smarter than he lets on. i think he read the manifesto and like 5 pages of lenin maybe. also because i think itd be funny

wainwright: canonically a massive bookworm, kind man and imho he's the likeliest out of every borderlands corporate character to be or become a class traitor

borderlands characters ranked according to if should they be reading leftist theory
