As my official first post on this blog, please enjoy as many reasons as I can think of off the top of my head for people to read Rebecca Roanhorse's between Earth and Sky:

Written by a female Black and Native American author

The same author who wrote star wars: resistance reborn

Has tons of characters of colour

Has tons of queer characters - bisexual, unlabeled, and several under the trans umbrella, with a culture of normalized neopronouns

Based around a narrative of decolonization

Set in a fantasy world inspired by the pre-contact Americas instead of a ten millionth medieval England.

Pretty please?

Beats the good/evil light/dark dichotomies to death with a stick

Theres birds :)

Serapio.... is there. My baby.

Deeply critical of religion without being dismissive

Adult fantasy in the sense that the characters are adults and not that its just 90% porn

(There is still some spice if that's your thing, but it doesn't feel forced on me in the same way it does in other adult fiction)

It's full of twists and turns that throw you for insane loops even when you think you've totally called it, down to the last page, but those loops are still very rooted in what you do figure out. It's not red herrings it's like a normal fish and then you turn around thinking "wow I totally called that fish" and you turn around and theres a shark behind you

I'll love you forever if u do

I'm gonna start making playlists and mood boards and I would prefer they be for a larger audience than *checks notes* me.

Best. Birthday gift. Ever.

I have to assume that nobody is reading between earth and sky because it has no fandom and there is absolutely no world in which people are reading these books and then just. Being Normal about them. These books have Making Me Feral juice in them and I cannot comprehend reading them and not Getting On Tumblr about it.

for the sprint challenge, trying to pick some fun random words! how about any of peanut, saxophone, kitty cat, or doorknob.

Oh these are creative ones! Thank you!

I didn't have peanut so I did a sprint with false confidence and added 232 words with it:

“Should’ve never shown the team that video,” Roy said.

“You're right. But that’s my fault too.”

Roy raised an eyebrow at him, “how the fuck do you see that?”

“I was stuck in my head that week. More stuck than that time my hand got stuck in the peanut butter jar. You ever got your hand stuck in one of those? It’s all sticky so you think you’d get unstuck but then you’re just stuck stuck. Shoot, I’ve said stuck too much now, you ever done that? Said a word too much now it lost all its meaning? Stuuuuuuuuuck. Stu-”

“Jesus fucking Christ, Ted. Get it together before I stick my head through a fucking wall.”

saxophone I also did not have, so I sprinted with Dear Leslie and added it (and wrote 378 new words):

“Okay, well let me use a different example then. Did you know before I played the bass I played saxophone?” Higgins asked.  “No, I wish I could play a saxophone. Or bass. Or anything really,” Keeley said.  “Turns out I could not play saxophone either. I was bad. Tremendously bad. But I played until my saxophone was run over by a car.” “Shit, Higgins, did you leave it in the drive, or it fell off a bus or something?” “No, my father threw it into the street and repeatedly ran it over with his car.”

(kitty) cat from that star in the sky who watches over you:

“You’re a 20-year-old professional footballer, so why do you look like someone kicked your cat?” “I don’t,” Jamie tries to defend, looking away from her.  Georgie gently grabs his face and forces him to look at her. She’s struck by how old he looks suddenly. Twenty years old and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. She stares into his eyes, and that’s when she notices. Georgie can’t believe she didn’t notice it before, see it clearly, but she’d been caught up in the day.  “Jamie, why are you wearing concealer?” “What?” he says, pulling his face from her hand and taking a step back. “I’m not. That’s for fucking women.” “Women and people who are trying to hide bruises,” Georgie said, and she reached for her son again.

This fic is one I need to dive into edit mode with so it's not really sprintable. But I did sprint an AU I’m working on and added 148 words, here is a small snippet from the chapter I added to.

“Another problem,” Higgins said, grimacing. “We can cover these new additions for now but–”

“But we’re going to run out of money for next season.”

“Exactly. We haven’t been selling out even half of the tickets. Half the marketing department left with Rupert or should have never been hired to begin with.”

“So we need a new marketing agency,” Rebecca smiled. “Let me take care of that.”

I did have doorknob in old habits die screaming:

“Jamie, open the door,” Willis tried again.

He started picking up various rocks and potted plants, searching for a hidden key but couldn’t find one, even tried the doorknob in case Jamie hadn’t locked the door.

“Just go, Coach, please.”

The pleading tone made it clear how desperate he was for Beard to leave, but it only increased Beard’s need to get inside, or to at least lay eyes on Jamie and see for himself he was okay.

“Jamie, I’m not leaving until you open the door.”

And I added 355 words via sprint!

Beard sighed to himself. It was interesting now being in London, coaching without Ted. He had been an extension of Ted for so long, he hadn’t bothered making his own relationships with the team. Maybe he should have. Maybe he wouldn’t be sitting at Jamie’s bedside right now.

Ted always said be curious not judgemental. That was them, Ted was curious, Beard was judgemental. Ted had his own tragedy in his life, but Beard hadn’t had the luxury of being curious, so he was judgemental. It helped save his life in prison.

You can’t be curious in prison.

But he wasn’t in prison any longer.

These tags from @aregebidan actually reminded me that we do get bits and pieces of Saaya in some of the epigraphs throughout the first book! Off the top of my head the snippets are mostly about crow behaviours and observations, and are attributed to a child named Saaya, but I wonder if they could give us any insight into her own perception of things. I would add them here but I loaned my copy of Black Sun to a friend 😭

At some point I would like to go through and group together all the epigraphs by their sources, because a ton of them are from the same places and I think it would be cool to try and piece them together. That's a project for after the semester though.
