Going from Ancillary Sword into August Kitko and the Mechs from Space is such like... whiplash to my brain. Ancillary Sword was challenging to read in a way I wasn't expecting but man was it rich as hell, the depth of the worlds and characters in that book are insane. Meanwhile reading AKatMfS is like... the premise is so cool and seems right up my alley but something about the writing is just not gelling with me for whatever reason. I want to get through this book so badly because I am interested but like... part of me is just wondering is this it?? Is this all there is to it?
#cat rambles#spoiler talk in the tags now because I'm just thinking about this too much#like... I think around the same points in either book is when the big bad is revealed or like... shows up more prominently I think#and in AJ it's like FUCK that's Anaander Mianaai and holy SHIT she's such a huge threat but she's really only a threat to the main characte#she doesn't become a bigger civil war threat until a lil later and thats like god damn okay now people are really dying because of that#then in AKatMfS the threat is humanity ending like it wants the humans to go extinct and like SHIT that's pretty intense and it wants#humanity's knowledge and memories and shit which thats cool!! I enjoy that!!#Why the fuck does that not feel like as intense of a threat in my mind as like... the Lord of the Radchs????#it's weird... it's so weird because I WANT to enjoy this book I really do#it reminds me of pacific rim in all the good ways but also it just like doesn't go over the details I'm really interested in#and maybe it's just that I'm not as into Gus and Ardent as main characters as I am Breq but then again how the fuck do you top Breq#i also don't think it helps that the creator of the mechs/what is killing humanity was revealed so fast in AKatMfS#Like I started reading that chapter and.... I felt udnerwhelmed???#the twist was kinda neat like we've known about this AI since the beginning parts of the book#but idk.... it's like.... okay... AI knows it's going to be archived once it's no longer useful bc it was built on the corpse of its#predacessor and THATS INTERESTING!!! I LIKE THAT!!! so why then does it feel like such an old cliche#maybe I just gotta read more but I just feel... underwhelmed I guess for lack of a better term#fucking mitchells vs the machines did this shit and that had so much heart in it#back to the pacific rim comparison#this book is also about climate change and war and how bad humanity is and like???? fuck man.... idk do you have anything else to say#besides humans do bad shit and are unredeemable???#I'm sure it does I'm like so sure it does but god#anyways at least I get to read another Andrew Joseph White book after this :]#sunk cost fallacy has my ass unfortunatley#wow this got to be long

are yall THICK this is the LAST time im talkin to you cause you obviously are fuckin dense and not worth my time
1) “a person cant go from bad to good?” billy isnt bad hes fuckin EVIL the duffer brothers wanted to create a human antagonist who ISNT reedemable they tried that with steve but then saw how amazing joe was and were like “he needs to stay and grow” they finally got that unredeemable antagonist with billy theyre not gonna make him a good guy after that theres literally NO WAY someone could form a good relationship with someone they tried to kill theres literally NO WAY for someone to redeem themselves after almost killing some after being racist towards a child after being ABUSIVE towards children thats FINAL
2) my grammar literally has NOTHING to do with this conversation youre just being petty this is TUMBLR not a fuckin college thesis go fuckin read about abusive relationships if my grammar bothers you tht much and stop actin childish
3) “who said i was glorifying” anytime someone ships an abusive relationship its a glorification it normalizes the abuse it desensitizes the audience from said abuse and it makes ppl think tht what billy did (really what any abuser does) is fine bc hes “going to get better” thts shit abusers say to their victim to get them to stay and its disgusting so yeah youre glorifying abuse
4) steve cant help billy become a better person that shits toxic and cliche the victim of abuse should not be expected to help their abuser in any way ??? besides saying shit like “so and so can help this person get better” is just false ??? its like saying the only way your mental illness can get better is if you find a significant other ?? which is FALSE stop spewing bullshit its getting annoying
5) “we dont know why billy is the way he is” that doesnt excuse abuse. EVER.
6)”im not trying to defend him” i just spent a good thirty seconds reading your trash of a paragraph in which all you did was (except for trashing my grammar which i remind you this is TUMBLR) defend him so have fun shipping this disgusting excuse of a ship but stop coming on this post trying to defend him when theres literally NOTHING redeemable about him
this is the fuckin LAST time i’ll say it stop comin on this post and puttin your pathetic excuse of a defense for your trash ship its getting annoying to read the same “im not defending him but...” or “hes racist i know but...” like just stop and go back to hell or wherever you came from
people actually ship steve and billy ??? in this economy ?????
