SheepyReads April Round-up!
Sci-fi/Fantasy
Tumblr media
Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb: This book is brutal in the best way. It is from the old-school brand of fantasy that starts with "I was born, and then it got worse." The main character is the bastard son of a prince, and he becomes an assassin both to serve his grandfather, but also to protect himself by becoming indispensable. There is a trend right now for sexy assassins in fantasy. I won't pretend I don't understand it, but it was so important to me that in this book every one of the main character's actions has weight. He isn't traipsing around playing cloak and dagger for the fun of it, he is trying to survive and find a place in the world. Every death in this book was important and emotional, and despite my general distaste for dark fantasy I am already reading the second book and have plans for the third. Recommended (unless you really can't stand animal death. I meant it when I said this is brutal.)
Rouge Protocol by Martha Wells: This is the third book in the Murderbot series. I was glad to see the return of the very tensely plotted sci-fi action we got in the first book, mixed with Murderbot's evolving feelings about itself and its relationship to humans. I read this in one sitting and am excited to see where Murderbot goes next. Recommended
Non-Fiction
Don't Call Me Princess by Peggy Orenstein: I picked this up because I've read almost all of her other books, so I figured I might as well. That was a bad call, because most of the essays here would go on to be expanded into her books, so there was little new ground here for me. Not Recommended (read Cinderella Ate My Daughter or Boys and Sex, instead.)
Unmask Alice by Rick Emerson: This book sets out to explain who actually wrote Go Ask Alice, how it became a smash hit, and why no one ever really bothered to fact-check it. The writing is incredibly immersive, and the story interesting, if deeply depressing. There actually isn't much mystery as to who the real author is, and more of the book is about the events which led to Jay's Journal (the "sequel" to Alice which was also portrayed as nonfiction) and how its popularity intersects with the rise of satanic panic. The book drags a bit when we are suddenly launched into "Jay's" biography, but it's worth it to understand how terribly Beatrice Sparks twisted real events for Jay's Journal. Recommended
Graphic Novels
Be Gay, Do Comics by The Nib: A very fun, eclectic collection of comics about the queer experience. The diversity of styles and opinions is very refreshing. Recommended
Scum Villain's Self Saving System-I finished reading this series in May, so stay tuned for the review on that!

honestly one of the main reasons I like dc is that they can’t keep a storyline straight for shit. anything I don’t like is just *not real*. that’s different storyline babes what are you talking about???
like at this point I can consider shit like wfa and hell even well written fanfics as canon bc who knows what’s going on with those funky little people?? certainly not the dc writers

Anointing
Something to hold you guys over until the next pages. Anoint is fun to say.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OP, what?? Let me explain:
This was partly inspired by another comic, got me thinking of how anointing worked. People kinda do this too, stealing your partners jacket for example.
Anointing is when hedgehogs find a smell they like (in some cases a poison) and proceed to lick it and create a saliva foam before covering their spines in the smell/spit.
Scientists don't really understand it but it may have a role in removing parasites, mating behavior or something to do with predators. Free lore.
Mobian 'hogs do it too, but a little less messy...
A special oil in their quills is released as they rub their spines together and even non-hedgehogs mobians can smell it when up close. It's a way to broadcast their partnership, with some considering it a huge leap in a relationship. Many just kinda do it without thinking, as they cuddle.
What do they smell like? Im not joking:
If sonic smells like citrus and leather (official perfume) and shadow smells like lavender (also canon) and coffee (coffee because oils in the espresso beans he canonically eats), do you think they would smell like Lady Gray tea with a hint of smoke or a dark musk underneath?

Woah what’s this? Cheesus draws a background??
So I wanted to draw Burn and then it occurred to me I could draw a comic of the first book prologue cuz that’s honestly when she’s at her coolest.
I’ve never really drawn comic panels before so sorry if it looks weird.
I’m genuinely surprised I finished it - it took like 20 hrs for some reason.
