If anyone ever wants to find out what it feels like to be FERALLY GASLIT, play The Final Scene.
Not only is the first 10 minutes Nancy trying to find help and NO ONE (including and especially the police) believing that her friend was just kidnapped, but also at almost every turn to another person minimizing and dismissing her worry (ie Nick saying they won’t hurt it, or it’s just a prank, the police CONSTANTLY saying that Maya probably wasn’t kidnapped or probably isn’t in any danger, and to go home and rest, and Joseph saying Maya probably isn’t in the building or that she probably didn’t ACTUALLY see those empty pizza boxes and MAYA’S LITERAL FEET MOVING, even the dead owner was out here lying to women and getting away with it all willy nilly)
Other than certain moments with Joseph, all four game characters can be boiled down to people who are too full of themselves to see anyone else’s opinions, fear, or suffering as anything other than an opportunity for them to capitalize on.
Even when they all stand on completely opposing sides of the issues at hand, they ALL find a way to benefit from the kidnapping.
This game has Nancy’s most BEASTLY comebacks, and she spends half of it literally YELLING (depending on what speech blurbs you pick, but I’m always yelling). Her anger is always intensified when no one will listen, which causes people to literally tell her to calm down.
There is so much of what women, or anyone who finds themselves belittled, have to deal with all the time BAKED into the game.

The clouds part once more at the arrival of another tale, for Fins Above: Flight has finally been released!
Tumblr media
The ocean has been healing for 3 years since the Battle of Wing and Fin, yet, the Vek'her'tai Shoal still sufffers the memories of the past. Silvur can't shake the need to have a purpose and she reaches out to Sarga in order to fulfill that. She reveals that she hasn't always been herself, and that he true goal is to have the power of reincarnation. Unbeknownst to her, the importance Sarga plays is bigger than she'll ever imagine.
Connections and legacies will be put to rest, new swimmers will join us in our journey, and old friends will depart for a new world in Fins Above: Flight.

H2G2 - book 2
Alright! Now I get it! Book 2 is funny as hell. Also I gained a blorbo. Mr President my beloved. He's such a problem, and he has two heads, and so many brain cells and all of them are devoted to making the most choice choices in space and time.
So Book 2 -- I enjoyed it wholeheartedly, with none of the mixed feelings I had with Book 1. So I'm really glad I decided to keep going.
IT'S FUNNY!

Tiny Review: What We Find on the Road 2024. Nonroad road story.
Tumblr media
Meh. I should have gave this a miss. The poster looks shoddy. And most importantly, it’s missing a wikipedia page.
But I am a sucker for road stories. This is a horrible example of one. Where is the backstory? The dark history? The family we find along the way? The conflict even. 🙄
Tumblr media
What We Find on the Road is a 2024 road drama movie, directed by Chaysen Beacham and written by Bill Haney. It stars Fin Haney, William Chris Sumpter, Paul Guilfoyle and Katherine Laheen.

I do definitely mean what I say to be taken literally, yes, to make people aware of the true criminality of our times, to wise up the marks. All of my work is directed against those who are bent, through stupidity or design, on blowing up the planet or rendering it uninhabitable. Like the advertising people we talked about, I'm concerned with the precise manipulation of word and image to create an action, not to go out and buy a Coca-Cola, but to create an alteration in the reader's consciousness. You know, they ask me if I were on a desert island and knew nobody would ever see what I wrote, would I go on writing. My answer is most emphatically yes. I would go on writing for company. Because I'm creating an imaginary—it's always imaginary—world in which I would like to live.

📚February 2024 Book Review (Part 3/3)📚
Tumblr media
The final three books of February! Not much to say as an introduction except a quick disclaimer: I read Coraline (as well as American Gods later this year) before the accusation against Neil Gaiman had been made public. I do not condone sexual assault and have since taken my distance with his work. Coraline is included here since I had already read it, but if it make anyone uncomfortable feel free to contact me and I'll remove the review altogether.
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Tumblr media
Coraline has just moved into a new, wierd, old house. With her parents busy with work she is left on her own to explore it until one passage led her to another brighter, happier version of her home with a caring, loving mother which looks just like her own, only with buttons for eyes. But as nice as it seems, this Other Mother might not have the best mind for Coraline
It took years between the first time I started watching the film adaptation and the time I watch the end of it. Much like Spirited Away it was too scary for sensitive 9 year old me.
Therefore it took years before I learned that it was based on a book and since I heard everywhere that the book was scarier than the film I postponed the reading for a really really long time. It might be that I am far less sensitive to horror in written form or that I was a little too old but it didn't find it that scary.
The anticlimax made the read experience... not disappointing but less thrilling than it might have been: It wasn't nightmare inducing but there is tension and suspense and a strange atmosphere which pulls you in. I love a good twist on a fairy tale classic and the Passage To A Magic World But Wrong works really well here. The Other Mother grows more off putting the longer the story goes, I have to admit she creeps me out!
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Tumblr media
Algernon is a mice which has undergone a new type of surgery to increased his intelligence. After this succes, Charlie Gordon, a mentally disabled man, is the first human subject to undergo the same treatment. His story is told through the diary that marks his progress and Algernon's, until one day Algernon starts declining: what does it means for Charlie?
As much as possible I try to read book by English speaking author in English but this one intrigued me at the public library so french translation it is!
This is a really emotional story: the title is the saddest part but you don't know it until the very end of the book. It has a really clean symmetrical construction and once I reached the peak and realised where it was going I couldn't help but think I should have expected it. This is a tragedy of the "It was always going to end this way" kind.
I had to excuse the not very ethical jump from one (1) successful test on a mice in the last few weeks to human subject, but it asks some really interesting questions on the treatment of disabilities, especially mental ones and n what intelligence can or can't bring to someone. Charlie's description of his inner "less intelligent" self and it's struggle to fight him and later accept him touched me deeply.
Paradoxically the thing that made the book so interesting: The story is directly from Charlie's point of view and use diary entries to show his progress (he describes it, but the improvement of his spelling, grammar, and vocabulary really makes it feel real). But as time passes and Charlie becomes a genius he grows apart from people around him (some he needed to cut out of his life, some he drove away) and he becomes condescending, cold, altogether not a very likable. As a reader I felt pity for him but he doesn't want it from other characters so like them I felt kinda uneasy. I softened as the end grew nearer but the middle part wasn't all that fun to read.
I don't want to end on a bad notr because it wasn't a bad read! It's a rather short one too so go ahead, it deserves your time!
Et à la fin ils meurent by Lou Lubie
Tumblr media
The version of popular fairy tales we know today are often really softened versions of the original. Lou Lubie trace them back for us with a bit of blood and a lot of humour.
I hadn't realised I read that many comic book in February! This last one is in french and more educational: it is a research on the history of fairy tales and how much more violent and dark they were in earlier versions, long before Disney.
The author also asks the interesting of the "original" version of fairy tales? How do you pinpoint the first form of an oral story? If a similar story exist earlier in another culture should it be considered more original than the occidental Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault? (I actually discovered that some version of Cinderella existed as a Chinese tale). Like any academic worth the title she has found lots of sources and cites them, so I trust
However it is also really funny : I still remember the panel with Bluebeard holding a traveller pigeon to his ear like a cellphone! This makes it the most entertaining essay I've read ever.
Unfortunately I don't think it had been translated in English but I'd you speak even a little french (it is not a hard read) check it out to learn some funny/bloody anecdotes on fairy tales!
