New fiction! These are the 12 monthly picks from this year of the Belletrist website, I was commissioned by a book group who had been reading along with them!

I’ve only read a couple of these as I usually wait for paperbacks, but I liked both The Premonition and The Guest.

Tease #4.5: Bearing Our Burdens in the Light

"You don't even know what my power smells like. You don't know how all the knowledge tastes. The magic of it all is enough to make the earth rumble. I won't use it. I want to be better than powerful. I want to be unstoppable and blooming in love for forever and beyond that."

"Transcendence"

When do we go home?

"I'm not too concerned about all the things that have nothing to do with my agency. I'm fine being kooky, bizarre, or clinically insane. The secret of the universe is that I'm not any of those things. I'm just deeply devoted to life."

mere puttering moilers after fugitive and illusory wealth

  To the absorbed and extraordinarily skilled artists of this relic of Imperial dominance, crushing feudalism, and monkish sway, the inhabitants of bustling Osaka are mere puttering moilers after fugitive and illusory wealth; the bumptious Edokko (or Tokyoites), pleasurers and politicasters; and others of the Empire so unfortunate as not to be able live in Kyoto, more or less boorish folk out of touch with the finer ethics of Old Japan.

Philip Terry, Terry’s Japanese empire, including Korea and Formosa... with chapters on Manchuria, the Trans-Siberian railway, and the chief ocean routes to Japan; a guidebook for travelers; with 8 specially drawn maps and 21 plans.

I felt her arms around my body and her lips slowly touched mine. She kissed me, carefully, as if I was something to break. When she moved her lips away, she pulled me closer, so close, that I could feel every inch of her body – her breasts, her hips, her legs. Her forehead leaned against mine while her hand wandered through the hair on the back of my head. Feeling her warm breath all over my face I couldn’t think about anything but her. She felt like home to me, and I wanted her to never let me go.

Have any of these (probably white) men larping as classicist defenders of “culture” as an excuse to hate on Katherine Dee ever been to an opera or a ballet? Or is it just the next Tarantino film they feel is threatened by online culture?

Gioia has probably been to an opera, but it is funny that a jazz scholar has such a reaction. As your cinema reference shows, there seems to be a reliable modern trend by which pop culture (opera, the novel, jazz, rock, films, graphic novels, etc.) is assimilated into high culture after enough time goes by. I like how KD argued that TikTok was continuous with earlier forms of pop culture like vaudeville, but, to head off the classicist objection, I would have framed the online persona as continuous with earlier forms of elite culture, e.g., BAP deliberately modeling himself on Nietzsche, with Wilde and Emerson and other thinkers and belletrists also serving as precedents and inspirations. Similar to my cautious defense of Honor Levy as neo-modernist, in other words. Meanwhile, go back to the 1890s and see what Max Nordau was saying about Wilde and Nietzsche.

Goddess of Multimodal Creation 

Synergistic Pixelation 

Buzzing in my atoms

Euphoric energies running from 

The digital to my dendrites

Megapixel flowers 

Blooming into creation

Cybernated fluids flow

From Your brain to the screen

Differential of two or more

Colliding in electric rhapsodies

Divine Belletrist elegantly

Weaving words with

Sound and light

Blissful Creations

Rana den Vittra

First to go over to the dark Lord Gholan almost a thousand years "ago", only person to ever tame a dragon, hell-bent on her own path to either make her people change their ways and stop diminishing and dying, or help them die quicker. Died once, was brought back to life 700 years later when Lord Gholan came back, not entirely happy with the requirements to stay alive this time around, and very unhappy with her race. Seven hundred years and still no change.

Elves have started to join her side instead - don't deny your true nature, let your drive to rule and be first among equals out! - and they are known as the True Elves (at least among themselves).

More info at my DeviantArt page, where there's a different photo. I think her by-name should be... "the Belletristic"? "The Well-read"? "The powerful, wise and yeah yeah call me evil if you like, wimps"?

The larp campaign of Thule was celebrating its 25-year anniversary, I believe, and we all dressed up as characters we'd played in it. Rana is written into the fiction, long before I was asked to play her, but oooh she is fun.

Most of the costume is "right, what do I have in my wardrobe", because lo, I turned out to have made a lot of clothes that suit her when put together! The skirt was bought, the scarf also, and the brooches. The rest is handmade. The long vest is only lined in the upper part, because I didn't have enough fabric to do more. The blue overmost coat was originally made for Elenaria, but what the hell was I thinking with that colour for that character... No. Just no.

For many costumes/outfits, you'll want to stay within a certain range of colours or colour-family.

(In Sweden, larping is A LOT LESS about boffing around with swords than it is in the USA. Just... thought I better add that, for people who are not familiar. Well, not just in Sweden, I guess. Europe.)
