i do think it would be fun to eventually have a rewrite for every total drama season so i made a little list of what those would be:
island - the courtney time travel au thats been in the works for 2+ years
action - would love to write something from leshawna's pov. honestly focusing on leshawna and beth's povs would be fun bc they're on different teams and did have a moment of bonding in tdi so id love to write tda from their perspectives and see how their dynamic changes. i have a soft spot for beth and leshawna deserved so much better that season
world tour - been there done that (slippery slopes)
revenge - probably the roti season in the slip slop verse that i have planned out somewhere
all stars - the platonic alecourtney fic that is sooo messy and painful for both of them but they become besties bc its what they deserve
pahkitew - just a straight up rewrite of pahkitew
ridonculous race - amicus curiae. and also operation nemma. but also i have an rr au with a bunch of different teams that might be fun to explore one day but not any day soon bc i need a looooooong break from rewriting this season
reboot 1 - honestly i can't see myself rewriting this season bc i think it was done really well. mayyyyybe i could write the playa de losers version of it but i kinda like it standing on its own
reboot 2 - oh this. this would fix a lot. bowie and emma reconciliation. mkulia. nichelle getting an actual arc. aroace caleb. maybe some prillie. damien being motivated. ripaxel? more like ripaxed bc i would not write it (no hate ripaxel shippers im glad yall enjoy it its just not my cup of tea). also mayyyyybe some zemma but i would want emma to spend time single so maybe just platonic zemma with the potential for more. i might actually have an outline for my rewrite of this season lying around somewhere...

Everytime I Hear You Calling
We live in dark times, dear Kiss friends, because there is a legend going around that can send cold shivers down many a spine.
Reason enough for me to now turn my attention to the one song, if you believe all those doom-mongering voices, that single-handedly destroyed the excellent studio album Revenge (1992). And what other evil song could I mean than Everytime I Look At You. The ballad. And where there is one, it should be easy to find more. So let's see what kind of sinister company that one comes from.
How about Beth from Destroyer (1976), for example. Yes, that's right, Beth! I mean, that's not exactly far-fetched. If you listen to the first vocal verse of Everytime I Look At You and compare it with the flowing verse-chorus of Beth, you should quickly realize that they are not at all dissimilar in melody. And despite both being set in the romantic realm, they are just endowed with slightly different emotions, which makes the essential difference.
While Beth is laden with that inch-thick, soft icing crust of a certain pragmatic inauthenticity, and is too good to be true for a plausible reason that Peter, at the heart of his hyper-sweet serenade, is just looking for an excuse to get rid of his lady because he actually wants to keep hanging out with his buddies, the exact opposite is quite aptly true of Everytime I Look At You.
And that sounds much more like an emotionally wiser and equally more grown-up echo of Beth, which asks for forgiveness and a second chance in a far more breathing, comprehensible and truly humane way on the basis of his somewhat late realization and insight. All in wonderful semi-acoustic instrumentation, culminating in a string ensemble that is allowed to reveal itself in just the right place, like a magnificent blossom opening in a ray of sunlight.
If that doesn't sound like a real, holistic sequel to Beth, then I don't know what does (1).
Side Note:
(1) Psycho Circus' I Finally Found My Way (1998) absolutely does not, and had to find its way back to the thickly applied icing. I suppose that didn't exactly help.

❤️
❓
so josh and loni right? its complicated. i already know shed like him probably and for sure up until that night. after i think shed be... wary of him? hurt because she didnt think hed do that to her. key word: her. given her mom having been her abuser as a kid its been hard to trust people so it would hit her hard. not saying he was like her mom, but just that feeling of not being sure she could trust? ANYWAYS complicated and her wanting to be near him but not understanding how to be close to him when shes got these strange feelings for him still but also wants to see him get better and succeed in life even if she cant be by his side???
simple shipping meme. accepting !! // * @bedlamology
❤️ - ROMANTIC BOND
❓ - FOR A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC (EXPLAIN)
with josh's mental health being at a crisis point after the prologue/into the game, it's definitely clear he's not thinking rationally or really about anyone else's feelings other than his own. if we go the route of that meme where he banishes her from the lodge/tells her to leave, then that would open up a lot of possibilities for her to kind of route herself through the game, interact with others, etc. before finally coming "back to him" so to speak?? if he manages to escape, which is my main verse or au for him that i follow to give him more ... well ... life ... rip ... then there's a lot of potential to follow after that, especially with how much josh goes into isolation after the events of until dawn.
it's interesting to remember that, at least after the prologue / that year between, josh is putting on an act for everyone save for really his parents, who i assume he is also trying to deceive, but he is also in and out of the hospital throughout that time and is struggling excessively with his mental health as it's rapidly deteriorating. he was a noted suicide risk in march of 2014, just shortly after hannah and beth go missing / die.
it's not even clear if he tells his parents he actually dropped out, which i play with both ideas that he's lying that he's still in school (as many people are able to do this, at least for a while) or that they know he dropped out with the promise that he would return. i even play with the idea that he uses a lot of excuses that, should his parents even notice the money is missing for his prank, that he's doing it all under the guise of a "comeback film" to get back into the game / back into school. that could be an avenue we work on, idk??
as for bringing loni into it, given that they meet kind of in that grey area of that year between prologue and game, it's a wonder how much of his authentic self he showed her versus what he felt was "natural and normal" to show her for someone in his situation. it's not like it was a secret his sisters went missing and were eventually declared like dead, at least within the family, and likely assumed in the public (in the beginning of ud, it mentions them as still missing in the media reports, though josh refers to them as dead, so it;s likely that most people assume them as dead despite the media saying otherwise, so).
if we're to assume he's playing her the way he is everyone else, then it's hard to say how deep and authentic his feelings are at first. as he gets to know her, that could change, but seeing as she somehow does become involved in the primary plot / the revenge prank, it seems that he's at least uncaring enough to let her get involved but caring enough to tell her to leave / that it was a mistake to let her come along.
post!verse opens an entire new can of worms. both of their individual traumas combined with josh's new extreme mental health regime + his isolation + his new work + his need to reach out to everyone he wrong (as i follow the everyone lives ending), that would likely include reaching out to her? which is where it would all pick up? since he goes into isolation, it can be taken either way. either she would be more involved with him immediately after or not. that's obviously up to her, of course.
overall, i see their interactions leading to a lot of different dynamics - very butterfly effect!

teen elizabeth emily headcanons --
dressed solely like a 1975 stan
told everyone to start calling her beth at 16 but everyone ignored her
thought she was “”punk””
summer after junior year, she ran away to follow her bf’s band on tour
two months in she dumped him to date his sister
this adventure came to an end when she got arrested for drug possession
charges were quickly dropped & she wasn’t kicked out of school thanks to several generous donations from certain family members
“i’d rather go to juvie than be a part of this family”
realized being logan 2.0 wasn’t going to help the situation & got her shit together long enough to concoct the “burn down the family legacy” plan
at 18, halfway through senior year, she legally changed her name
refused to attend high school graduation bc they put emily on her diploma
was generally a brat but with more angst & childhood trauma
#*drags my own character*#i cant even take teen beth seriously bc she was a mess#and the idea that she somehow pulled her life together long enough to get into mit and start a company???#i mean damn girl you're really committed to that whole revenge thing#verse drop#narrative department ( headcanon )#v: the suburbs of our dreams [teen]

you know, I just thought about it... the darkest muses I have are banshee queen sylvanas, beth from hos//tel pt 2 and nadia in some verses. like they could be viewed as a villain at some points, but in reality they’re just morally grey and they have to do terrible shit just to survive. syl as a banshee under ner’zhul’s control was different, because she couldn’t do anything on her own willpower. she was being controlled to do awful things. after that, she was just doing things (as questionable some of them may be) for her people to thrive. and mostly to get revenge on arthas. she still supported quel’thalas and the blood elves, even though some of them wanted nothing to do with her because of what she unwillingly had done as a banshee. she still fought for her people anyway.
but in the end, they all tried hard to become better, despite their traumas. beth actually kills clients of the elite hunting club, because they prey on the innocent. she sacrificed the purest parts of herself to ensure no other innocent person would go through what she had.
then there’s nadia in the mafia verse with xtine’s isabella, she murders the don’s men out of vengeance and to weaken salvatore’s forces before she’d get to him and finally kill him off. because he was a corrupt asshole in a position of power when he shouldn’t be. isabella is the only thing that helps save her from falling apart completely and reminds her of the shreds of humanity she still has somewhere buried under the dark trauma she has to live with.
in the end, these three fought for their own sake and for other people, too. and I just get so emotional thinking about that.
#SYLVANAS HC » sealed in an iron coffin#BETH HC » no motherfucker it’s my money#NADIA HC » she wore a smile like a loaded gun#VERSE // kill the don [ nine lives ]

7, 37, and 38 for the writing game please! hope you're having a lovely day!
7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
37. Talk about your current wips.
well, delinquents is a lot of fun rn because originally i envisioned rio and beth at the homecoming after-party as really snarky and sniping at each other—arguing for most of the night until the tension breaks when beth's upset and finds him after a fight with dean and he slides into something softer and easier with her now that they're isolated and away from everyone else. however, chapter 9 ended with rio sliding into a different mood than i expected after discovering the truth about beth via elena, which means that he's going into the party in a much different mood. he's not itching for a fight or aiming to rile beth up. he's actually very much accepted his feelings, and while he still doesn't know for sure what he wants to do with them, it means that he's going to be much softer much earlier and beth isn't going to know what to do with that.
i'm also still working on i'll fall if you do and there's this tiny bit at the end that i'm so, so excited for people to discover. literally can't wait.
aaaaaaand i've been messing around with plotting collect/capture, actually, and think i have an okay thread to start from to actually do some real planning eventually? hopefully? we'll see!
and because i'm me and can't ever commit to anything, yesterday i started writing a smutty AU where beth meets rio on an app to hook up with strangers as a form of revenge against dean when he cheats.
38. Talk about a review that made your day.
i got this incredibly nice review a few months ago on delinquents far after i'd posted the last chapter where someone was voraciously diving into it after starting the show post-cancellation, and it was so wonderful:
THIS FIC IS PERFECT, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHERE IT GOES, I'VE BEEN REREADING SNAPSHOTS AND MAKING MY WAY THROUGH EVERY CHAPTER OF DELINQUENTS BUT GOING THROUGH THE LAST FEW MORE SLOWLY SO AS TO SAVOR THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND… IT'S PERFECT. the worldbuilding (good lord, no other author has ever made me actually care about OCs as much as I care about Mar and Elena and Mr. Stewart and Ms. Patel and Vanessa and ???? MY GOD), the characterization, the meticulous thought/details you've put into absolutely everything -- Jesus Christ, I've been going through the delinquents tag on your Tumblr and salivating knowing that this story is so thoughtfully planned out and it's a journey I'll get to go on as a reader I'm--
I also recently just got into good girls and am so very sad about the cancellation, so part of why im commenting is also to say that -- there will ALWAYS be new people getting into shows that have been cancelled, and once all the episodes are done and watched (or rewatched ;) fic is really the best way for these wonderful characters to live on and I'm just-- so GRATEFUL the brio fandom has this, and has this story, and I'm... floored, tbh. absolutely fucking floored. more coherent comments to come very soon but just wanted to leave this here as I'm still actively fangirling, AHHHH
i'm always extremely tickled when someone loves my OCs, when they mention trying to savor the story, but also just falling deeply into it and going through the whole thing. it made me v giddy and i so appreciate it. it definitely jump started my motivation to return to the 'verse because it came at a time when i hadn't been able to carve out some writing time for a while.

Every verse is flexible and I love plotting.
We can always change the family circumstances or the age. We also can always create a verse on our own or mix something.
Just know that I’m mostly not into supernatural stuff, also I don’t like ABO dynamics.
Some personal traits of Rick are constant like his jealousy and possessiveness (due to his fear of loss and low confidence), his loyalty and troubled mind. But he’s very flexible in his way of interacting in a relationship. He can be very subduing and romantic, but he can also be very brutal and dominant (TWD or Mafia, sometimes Professor verse).
I will update more about the verses with the time, but if you have any questions always hit me up. Again: I love plotting and am flexible and I absolutely don’t mind having more threads in different verses. But I don’t see Rick in every role, that’s why I just wanted to write a few down.
The Walking Dead
Story: a mix from comic/show canon and whatever we decide
Age: 35-? (depends on the season we decide to take place in)
Place: Alexandria (or wherever we decide including CRM)
Family: Lori (ex/wife), Carl (son), Judith (stepdaughter)
Preference: switch
Currently writing with: @xgoldxnhour @thesongbiird @mettleborn (Adelia) @unheald (Rosita) @elpida (Aelin, Eris) @theirmadness (Beth)
Police
Story: Rick is either finished in the academy or is still in and depending on the age worked his way up to be the Sheriff of his hometown. Shane was his former partner but started an affair with Lori which brings Rick into the hard struggle between filing for divorce and getting a bad reputation in his small town, or staying in the marriage which leads to more and more frustration. That’s why he often hangs out in bars alone at night cause he doesn’t want to go home or overworks on criminal cases and often risks too much in difficult situations cause he feels like he has nothing to lose anymore.
Age: 25-? (depends what we discuss)
City: Georgia
Family: Lori (wife), Carl (son)
Preference: switch
Currently writing with: @xgoldxnhour @smokinmirrors @lovelylostminds (Charlotte) @thesongbiird @wiinestories (Ava)
Mafia
Story: shortly after marrying Lori she gets pregnant and tells Rick it’s not his child. Rick assumed the named underground boss called Shane assaulted her, cause he couldn’t imagine in his naivety that Lori would ever cheat on him. Out of control he uses his position as a police officer to find the named guy and kills him in a rush, while Lori is in the hospital to give birth but dies under the process with her unborn child. Since Rick lost everything he built for himself and loses himself in self blame for not being with his wife when she died, he decides to take over Shane’s former position and becomes the next big mafia boss of Atlanta. With his connections to police and the defense of his former colleagues, he rules the underground and focuses on using their force for true justice in form of vengeance. Mostly his group “Black Hands” takes in or captures women who live with him then cause they need protection (victims of abuse, rape, prostitution etc) and then they take revenge on their abuses whenever law fails to do so. Despite the gratefulness these women gift him with (the reason why they often stay after justice is served and offer themselves to him), he turns into a cold hearted man surrounding himself with sex, drugs and a lot of money, but nothing seems to make him feel anything anymore. He goes under the nickname Blue (cause of his eyes, his fashion and the “blue attitude” since his heart is broken). The name Black Hands comes from him wearing black leather gloves all the time cause he simply is too afraid of touching someone with his bare hands again (cause he feels a lot through his hands and doesn’t want to get soft again).
Age: 37-?
City: Atlanta
Family: Lori (deceased, wife), Rose (mother, he broke up contact to protect her), Luna (cat)
Preference: dominant
Currently writing with: @lovelylostminds (Charlotte) @emeryfleming @xgoldxnhour @elpida (Sienna) @hcneygaze
Headcanons: Interior 1 || Interior 2 || Fashion 2
Journalist/Photographer
Story: Ricks parents always wanted him to become an officer in his hometown but he always wanted to travel the world and decided studying journalism and photography to do something creative. His conservative father doesn’t accept his decision and while Rick went to New York, his father dies one day under a heart attack without them being able to speak to each other again. To make his father proud he decides to become the best in his job and lives together with his best childhood friend Daryl who supports him wherever he can. Most of his saved up money he sends to his mother Rose who is now living alone in his hometown and since Rick can’t be with her, he decides this is the only way to support her. He has a very close relationship to her and that’s probably one of the reasons why he seems very soft to the most people and since he always had to focus on his family and job first, he never had the chance to get experience in flirting or dating, that’s why he often seems like a shy loner despite being around Daryl.
Age: 25-?
City: Flexible
Family: Rose (Mother)
Preference: sub
Assassin/hitman
Story: Ricks life started pretty normal with leaving home by going to college to study literature/art. Early on he knew that studying wasn’t really his life plan but for the sake of his parents he at first didn’t go to the police academy like he wanted. During his college times his father passed and he met a friend (or more, depending what we discuss or if this person should be your muse) who encouraged him to follow his dream and so he went to the academy after all. Early on he was able to show his skills and got respected. One of his supervisors was working in the detective unit and connected to the underground where he saw Rick fitting in perfectly. At first Rick just wanted to work undercover, but before he even finished his academy he got in too deep for seeking justice when the law failed and became an assassin nearly accidentally. His first target was Shane and just as he wanted to take him out, he used the chance to run since his lover Lori stepped in front of him as Rick shot. Therefore Ricks first victim was Lori, a woman too pure for this world and trusting the wrong person. From that point on he couldn’t stop hunting Shane and just followed one rule: not killing a woman ever again. To remind himself of what he did, Loris name was the first tattoo he got and from then on he got more and more (especially important are the tally marks for every target he got so it never gets random for him to kill). He continued with the goal to one day take out Shane and uses every last mission to get closer to him so he can finally leave this business. Rick is pretty closed off in this verse and never got involved in real relationships cause he considered that to be too dangerous for everyone. Emotions are something he rarely allows himself and he more or less just follows his urge for revenge since he killed an innocent woman just because Shane sacrificed her. He’s working mostly from the shadows, doesn’t leave a sign or any clue who it was cause he’s not involved in the personal stories of his targets and therefore doesn’t care if they see who did it or leave a certain impression. He always wants to stay in the shadows and since nobody ever saw him (he’s also completely dressed in black wide clothes with a hoodie and a scarf covering half of his face and gloves that hide his tattoos) he’s called Umbra (Shadow). He doesn’t care about delivering messages or anything personal, but sometimes he has to work with other assassins who got hired too when they face a bigger mission. Now and then he gets sexually involved with them, but only to let out some steam at night cause he knows there are no friends in this business. Since he mostly lives in hotels in New Orleans and gets flowers in a small flower shop owned by an old lady called Marcy, he got closer to her and one day she offered him a place to stay under her apartment across the street since he had been always kind and supportive in her shop. It had been a simple basement not visible from the sidewalk and therefore he accepted the offer. In this verse Rick is pretty handy and renovated the basement himself to turn it into a little one room apartment with a little bathroom and kitchen corner. Marcy sometimes comes by when she needs help or brings him flowers and something to eat since Rick never leaves the place besides when he has to work and then disappears for days or weeks. Sometimes he just pays some bills for Marcy without her asking for any money just to show his gratefulness. Marcy openly doesn’t know about his business and never asks about it either, but Rick suspects that she has a guess or maybe was even involved in some underground stuff in her past too cause how else could she own such a big house without a visible family or husband and just with the earnings from the little shop? When authorities come looking for Rick, she even makes up stories for him and defends him, so there might be more knowledge than she would admit. His style is pretty different from other verses, you’ll see that in the aesthetic tags.
Age: 37-?
City: New Orleans
Family: none (he broke off contact to Rose his mother who he wants to protect, but Marcy his landlord and owner of the flower shop across the street is nearly like a mother to him)

Farm
Story: Rick left the small town Rhinebeck to finally be free from his imperious father who owns the big farm that provides the whole town with vegetables and some dairy products. To learn about the big city life, Rick moves to New York to become a police officer. He succeeds early on and is a highly valued member of the police department, but before he can take over the detective unit, his father dies. While visiting his hometown for the funeral, he discovers that his mother got sick and never told him so he wouldn’t come back, but being the responsible son knowing that Rose can’t take over the farm alone, he moves back to take care of his mum and the farm. At first he hates living the small town life, craving to get back into the big world. But with the time he finds out about the corruption evolving around their small paradise and slowly builds a connection to the villagers to find out more about the history of his home and how he can support them to preserve their culture. With the time he starts liking his new responsibilities and finds out more about how his fathers real intentions looked like.

Revolution Theme, Part 3: Lone Ranger
So, several weeks ago, I got a hankering to rewatch the Governor’s episodes (4x06-4x07) because I hadn’t watched them in quite some time and I suspected that based on what we’ve learned in the past year, I would find lots of new and exciting things. I’m going to get to that tomorrow, but first I wanted to post this short theory to sort of bridge the gap between all the Revolution stuff I’ve been talking about the past few days, and the Governor.
Let’s talk the Lone Ranger. And I keep calling it Lone Ranger symbolism, but it ties into the Smokey and the Bandit trailer from S7 and all the western/cowboy type symbolism we’ve seen.
So, as I said in my Fear writeup (for ep 6x16) I noticed that right before Daniel executed Rollie for being a traitor, Sarah called him Kemosabe. It just caught my ear and the first thought I had was, “isn’t that the Indian guy from the Lone Ranger?” Well, I was close, but it’s not. (Clearly, I’m not terribly well versed in the Lone Ranger universe.) The Native American character in TLR is Tonto. Kemosabe is his nickname for TLR, which depending on the source usually means something along the lines friend, trusted scout, ally, etc.
So, in general this was just a mention of the Native American theme. But then I thought about how she called Rollie that right before they realized he was a traitor. And I wondered if TLR symbolism could be about that.
That’s when I had a lightbulb moment. If you think back to that trailer in S7, it was Daryl and Richard hiding behind it. And what happened there? Richard was planning to kill Carol, which he backed off of because, um, Daryl. But he still ended up hiding the melon and betraying Ezekiel, which got Benjamin killed. Do you see?
Rollie betrayed the group in Fear, and Daniel executed him. Richard betrayed the group in S7, and soon after, Morgan killed him. So, this symbolism is about betrayal followed by death.
But I also wondered why they would use The Lone Ranger or Smokey and the Bandit as betrayal symbolism. So, I looked them up.
Again, not terribly familiar with the Lone Ranger, but it’s origin story will definitely make you side-eye. Apparently TLR was one of six rangers out riding, looking for some outlaws, but they are betrayed by one of their own group and ambushed. (Hence why the writers of TWD use this for betrayal symbolism.)
Side note: even the ranger thing is important. They’re law enforcement officers who could be thought of synonymous with “sheriffs.” And what state is most famous for its rangers? That would be Texas.
Anyway, the six rangers are ambushed and all of them are “killed” but when Tonto comes upon the scene, he finds that one of them, the youngest and younger brother of the leader, has survived. *coughs Beth* Left behind and left for dead.
So, Tonto nurses him back to health and they become besties. So begins the series, with TLR mostly on a mission to get revenge for his fallen brother. And get this, he and Tonto bury the rangers, but to aid in the deception, they even dig a 6th, empty grave so the bad guys will believe all six of the rangers did, in fact, die. Remember that grave that was supposed to hold Maggie in S7?
Anyway, Smokey and the Bandit is less clear. There’s not an obvious betrayal plot, but I still side-eyed when I read through it. It’s about driving contraband alcohol from Texas to Georgia. Yeah. And aside from the obvious TD symbolism, it made me thing of Fear. Of Sarah and her distillery and her semi-truck. I mean, it’s practically the same plot. Okay, not really. But close enough. I think it’s safe to say that, at least on one level, the S7 trailer was pointing toward Fear. But other things, too.
Can we all say Beth-ish origin stories?
Okay, that’s it for today. Come back tomorrow for how this ties to the Governor and how both tie in to the Revolution theme.

Top New Fantasy Books in August 2020
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
It’s summer. Lots of people are staying home. It might be a good time for a book. Here are some of the upcoming books we’re anticipating:
Join the Den of Geek Book Club!
Top New Fantasy Books August 2020
The Tyrant Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson
Type: Novel Publisher: Tor Release date: Aug. 11
Den of Geek says: The Baru Cormorant series features as its hero a mentally ill accountant with the fate of an empire at its fingers. The third book in the series promises more dark, twisty introspection and grim, creative world-building.
Publisher’s summary: The hunt is over. After fifteen years of lies and sacrifice, Baru Cormorant has the power to destroy the Imperial Republic of Falcrest that she pretends to serve. The secret society called the Cancrioth is real, and Baru is among them.
But the Cancrioth’s weapon cannot distinguish the guilty from the innocent. If it escapes quarantine, the ancient hemorrhagic plague called the Kettling will kill hundreds of millions…not just in Falcrest, but all across the world. History will end in a black bloodstain.
Is that justice? Is this really what Tain Hu hoped for when she sacrificed herself?
Baru’s enemies close in from all sides. Baru’s own mind teeters on the edge of madness or shattering revelation. Now she must choose between genocidal revenge and a far more difficult path―a conspiracy of judges, kings, spies and immortals, puppeteering the world’s riches and two great wars in a gambit for the ultimate prize.
If Baru had absolute power over the Imperial Republic, she could force Falcrest to abandon its colonies and make right its crimes.
Buy The Tyrant Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson.
Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley
Type: Epic Poem Publisher: MCD x FSG Originals Release date: Aug. 25
Den of Geek says: Headley got an intimate look at Beowulf in the modern interpretation The Mere Wife. She turns the intellect behind that inventive, scathing novel about complex and furious women to a translation of the poem featuring new research.
Publisher’s summary: Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf―and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment high-school students around the world―there is a radical new verse translation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements that have never before been translated into English, recontextualizing the binary narrative of monsters and heroes into a tale in which the two categories often entwine, justice is rarely served, and dragons live among us.
A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist’s eye toward gender, genre, and history―Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation of Beowulf, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation. Buy Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley.
The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe
Type: Novel (Reprint) Publisher: Tor Books Release date: Aug. 11
Den of Geek says: Gene Wolfe is a modern master of fantasy. This reprint of a 2004 duology provides both original stories in one paperback package.
Publisher’s summary: A young man in his teens is transported from our world to a magical realm consisting of seven levels of reality. Transformed by magic into a grown man of heroic proportions, he takes the name Sir Able of the High Heart and sets out on a quest to find the sword that has been promised to him, the blade that will help him fulfill his ambition to become a true hero―a true knight.
Inside, however, Sir Able remains a boy, and he must grow in every sense to survive what lies ahead…
Buy The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe.
Top New Fantasy Books July 2020
The Book of Dragons: An Anthology by Jonathan Strahan
Type: Anthology Publisher: Harper Voyager Release date: July 7
Den of Geek says: I’m always looking for a good book about dragons, and this incredible list of authors promises adventurous and unique stories. Anne Leckie, Zen Cho, Seanan Maguire, J.Y. Yang, Patricia A McKillip, Brooke Bolander … it’s an astounding, literary-flavored list of people qualified to write cool creatures.
Publisher’s summary: Here there be dragons . . .
From China to Europe, Africa to North America, dragons have long captured our imagination in myth and legend. Whether they are rampaging beasts awaiting a brave hero to slay or benevolent sages who have much to teach humanity, dragons are intrinsically connected to stories of creation, adventure, and struggle beloved for generations.
Bringing together nearly thirty stories and poems from some of the greatest science fiction and fantasy writers working today— Garth Nix, Scott Lynch, R.F. Kuang, Ann Leckie & Rachel Swirsky, Daniel Abraham, Peter S. Beagle, Beth Cato, Zen Cho, C. S. E Cooney, Aliette de Bodard, Amal El-Mohtar, Kate Elliott, Theodora Goss, Ellen Klages, Ken Liu, Seanan Maguire, Patricia A McKillip, K. J. Parker, Kelly Robson, Michael Swanwick, Jo Walton, Elle Katharine White, Jane Yolen, Kelly Barnhill, Brooke Bolander, Sarah Gailey, and J. Y. Yang—and illustrated by award-nominated artist Rovina Cai with black-and-white line drawings specific to each entry throughout, this extraordinary collection vividly breathes fire and life into one of our most captivating and feared magical creatures as never before and is sure to become a treasured keepsake for fans of fantasy, science fiction, and fairy tales.
Buy The Book of Dragons by Jonathan Strahan on Amazon
Or What You Will by Joe Walton
Type: Novel Publisher: Tor Books Release date: July 7
Den of Geek says: Jo Walton is a writer’s writer, highly praised but still generally skating under the radar. I found her 2014 My Real Children to not nearly live up to its very high concept, but she’s one of those authors with technical prowess who is at least worth checking out for context for women’s science fiction. The metafiction plot sounds fun.
Publisher’s summary: He has been too many things to count. He has been a dragon with a boy on his back. He has been a scholar, a warrior, a lover, and a thief. He has been dream and dreamer. He has been a god.
But “he” is in fact nothing more than a spark of idea, a character in the mind of Sylvia Harrison, 73, award-winning author of thirty novels over forty years. He has played a part in most of those novels, and in the recesses of her mind, Sylvia has conversed with him for years.
But Sylvia won’t live forever, any more than any human does. And he’s trapped inside her cave of bone, her hollow of skull. When she dies, so will he.
Now Sylvia is starting a new novel, a fantasy for adult readers, set in Thalia, the Florence-resembling imaginary city that was the setting for a successful YA trilogy she published decades before. Of course he’s got a part in it. But he also has a notion. He thinks he knows how he and Sylvia can step off the wheel of mortality altogether. All he has to do is convince her.
Buy Or What You Will by Jo Walton on Amazon
The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal
Type: Graphic Novel Publisher: First Second Release date: July 14
Den of Geek says: The Adventure Zone is a wildly popular humorous fantasy podcast. It’s part of the big 2010s wave of Dungeons & Dragons coming back into the geek space. Especially for someone who might not want to listen to hundreds of episodes of a podcast, the illustrated version does a good job of smoothing out the story into a graphic novel format without removing the goofy chaos of the original podcast.
Publisher’s summary: START YOUR ENGINES, friends, Clint McElroy and sons Griffin, Justin, and Travis hit the road again with Taako, Magnus and Merle, the beloved agents of chaos from the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novels illustrated by Carey Pietsch, The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins and The Adventure Zone: Murder on the Rockport Limited.
Our boys have gone full-time at the Bureau of Balance, and their next assignment is a real thorny one: apprehending The Raven, a master thief who’s tapped into the power of a Grand Relic to ransack the city of Goldcliff. Local life-saver Lieutenant Hurley pulls them out of the woods, only to throw them headlong into the world of battle wagon racing, Goldcliff’s favorite high-stakes low-legality sport and The Raven’s chosen battlefield. Will the boys and Hurley be able to reclaim the Relic and pull The Raven back from the brink, or will they get lost in the weeds?
Based on the beloved blockbuster podcast where three brothers and their dad play a tabletop RPG in real time, The Adventure Zone: Petals to the Metal has it all: blossoming new friendships, pining for outlaw lovers, and a rollicking race you can root for!

Animated
The Croods - Underrated movie, I really liked it. It’s about a caveman family/girl meeting a more evolved cave-Guy and then trying to escape danger together. I don’t even know who my favorite character is, but shout out to Guy’s Belt, and really all of his hilarious inventions.
Joseph: King of Dreams - Didn’t expect to like this as much as I did! Thought it would be too religious, And I’m all about a good revenge, but I actually liked the ending and how people forgave each other!
Christopher Robin - So this is a kids movie I guess, but low-key I think it’s for grown ups! It’s about how Christopher Robin grows up and becomes all sensible and forgets what’s important (see: Hook and also so many other movies). It’s a happy movie and I liked that Pooh and friends finally ventured out of the woods to London!
The Willoughbys - About a group of kids who get together to kill their evil parents but it’s fine because they totally deserve it. I think the Cat is an underrated character, but everyone who loves Tim is RIGHT and we must PROTECT TIM AT ALL COSTS. He’s the eldest who tries to look after his siblings and make sure they don’t get hurt. Also I really liked Nanny and her backstory. Also, did not know this was based on a book, but Lois Lowry is amazing so the source material was probably excellent.
Open Season - The least good movie on this list but still good and fun! I felt really bad for Boog and Beth and SO ANNOYED at Elliot because it was his fault they had to be separated, but of course Elliot was redeemed by the end and Boog learned some valuable lessons.
Turbo - This is the story of a snail… who becomes FAST. Honestly if that doesn’t sell you idk what will. There are two pairs of dreamer/sensible brothers: the snails and the humans. Turbo the snail loves speed and racecars, they are his dream kind of like how Remy in Ratatouille wants to be a chef. The villain is pretty predictable, but is nice in that you have something to root against. Also, the snail ensemble is star- studded.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - The only part of the trailer I remember seeing was the inexplicable Porky the Spider-pig, so idk what I thought it was about but I didn’t want to watch it. But then so many people (and so many people who enjoyed different kinds of movies) were like this was great, you should watch it. And I was like okay fine, I’ll try. And honestly, it was really really great, you should watch it. Also explained why other Spider-Man movies have different kinds of plot lines and characters, which was not even an answer I thought I could get!
The Adventures of Tintin - I liked the mystery! I was a little bit familiar with Tintin as a character but not a superfan, but as far as I can tell, they really nailed the bringing the character to a movie, from the nod to the comic in the portrait at the beginning, to the inept cops, to the fun mystery! I also liked the way the chase scenes were animated.
All of these movies were good and fun and happy and I would recommend them to others, proving that children have better taste than adults. If you have to only watch one, though, I say Spider-verse.

so i did a reading challenge this year and i wanna talk about what i read
transcription under the cut
i did Popsugar 2019 and wanna talk about what i read: Book Reccs and Anti-Reccs
1.) Becoming a Movie in 2019: Umbrella Academy (vol 1) by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba
4/5. A fascinating take on superpowers, dysfunctional families, and the apocalypse. Can get pretty gory, confusing here and there and you have to pay close attention to panels for lore, but overall an entertaining romp.
2.) Makes you Feel Nostalgic: Circles in the Stream by Rachel Roberts
4/5. Middle grade novel about the magic of music, belief, and of course, friendship. Definitely written for kids, and has some unfortunately clumsy Native rep, but overall an absolute joy to dive into once again.
3.) Written by a Musician: Umbrella Academy (vol 2) by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba
4/5. Ramps up the confusion to ridiculous degrees with some absolutely bonkers, unexplained arcs, but still fun to watch this dysfunctional family do its dysfunctional thing.
4.) You Think Should be Turned into a movie: All That Glitters by Rachel Roberts
4/5. Continuation of Circles in the Stream, but with more unicorns, more rainbows, and more fae, which makes it automatically even better than the first.
5.) With At Least 1 Mil. Ratings on Goodreads: 1984 by George Orwell
1/5. I understand why it's important and all but wasn't prepared for some of the more graphic scenes and the overall hopelessness of the message. Would not recommend or read again.
6.) W/ a Plant in the title or cover: The secret of Dreadwillow carse by Brian farrey
5/5. A fantasy world where everyone is always happy, save for one girl and the princess, who set out to solve the mystery of their kingdom. Poignant and great for kids and adults.
7.) Reread of a favorite: Cry of the Wolf by Rachel Roberts
4/5. Yet another installment in the Avalon: Web of Magic series, which clearly I am obsessed with. Please just read them.
8.) About a Hobby: Welcome to the Writer's Life by Paulette Perhach
5/5. A welcome kick in the pants, chock full of great advice told without condescension, and full of hope and inspiration for writers both new and old.
9.) Meant to read in 2018: The Poet x by Elizabeth Acevedo
4/5. Absolutely beautiful coming of age novel told in verse. Do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook version.
10.) w/ "pop," "sugar," or "challenge" in the title: Black Sugar by Miguel Bonnefoy
2/5. I think maybe I just don't understand this genre. Or maybe the translation was weird. I was confused.
11.) w/ An Item of Clothing or Accessory on the cover: Our dreams at Dusk by Yuhki Kamatani
4/5. It had a lot more slurs/homophobia than I was prepared for, but otherwise is a very touching, relatable collection of queer characters living in a heteronormative world.
12.) Inspired by Mythology or Folklore: Ravenous by MarcyKate Connolly
3/5. A girl goes on an impossible quest to save her brother from a child-eating witch. Really wanted to like it more because I loved the first one, Monstrous, but it dragged a little.
13.) Published Posthumously: The Islands of Chaldea by Diana Wynne Jones
3/5. I adore Diana Wynne Jones, but this one was missing some of the magic of her other books. Not sure if it was because it had to be finished by someone else, or if I just grew out of her stories.
14.) Set in Space: Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
4/5. Powerfully written story of a girl straddling tradition and innovation, who wields power through mathematical magic, surviving on a spaceship alone with a dangerous alien occupation after everyone else has been killed.
15.) By 2 Female Authors: Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian
2/5. Ostensibly a story about a revenge pact in a small island town, but leaves far too many dangling threads to attempt alluring you to the sequel.
16.) W/ A Title containing "salty," "bitter," "Sweet," or "Spicy": The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith
3/5. It's okay but I literally just never know what anyone means at any time. Are they being reticent on purpose or do i just not understand communication
17.) Set in scandinavia: Vinland Saga by Makoto Yukimura
2/5. Technically and historically accurate and well made, but the story itself is not my cup of tea. Very gory.
18.) Takes Place in a Single Day: Long WAy Down by Jason Reynolds
4/5. A boy goes to avenge his murdered brother, but ghostly passengers join him on the elevator ride down. Stunning and powerful character-driven analysis.
19.) Debut Novel: Nimona by Noelle Stevenson
4/5. Charming and then surprisingly heart-breaking comic about Nimona, a shapeshifter who wants to become a villain's minion. Really love the villain/hero dynamic going on in the background, along with the dysfunctional found family.
20.) Published in 2019: The Book of Pride by Mason Funk
4/5. A collection of interviews with the movers, shakers, and pioneers of the queer and LGBTQ+ community. An absolutely essential work for community members and allies alike.
21.) Featuring an extinct/imaginary creature: Phoebe and her Unicorn by Dana Simpson
4/5. Incredibly charming, Calvin and Hobbes-esque collection of comics featuring the adventures of Phoebe and her unicorn best friend.
22.) Recced by a celebrity you admire: The Emerald Circus by Jane Yolen
2/5. Recced by my fave author Brandon Sanderson. An unfortunately disappointing anthology proving that any story can be made uninteresting by telling the wrong section of it.
23.) With "Love" in the Title: Book Love by Debbie Tung
4/5. One of those relatable webcomics, only this one I felt super hard almost the entire time. Books are awesome and libraries rule.
24.) Featuring an amateur detective: Nancy Drew: Palace of Wisdom by Kelly Thompson
4/5. REALLY love this modern take on Nancy Drew, coming back home to her roots to solve a brand new mystery. Diverse cast and lovely artwork, though definitely more adult.
25.) About a family: Amulet by Kabu Kibuishi
4/5. Excellent, top tier graphic novel about a sister and brother who have to go rescue their mother with a mysterious magic stone. LOVE that the mom gets to be involved in the adventure for once.
26.) by an author from asia, Africa, or s. America: Girls' Last tour by Tsukumizu
4/5. Somehow both light-hearted and melancholy. Two girls travel about an empty, post-apocalyptic world, and muse about life and their next meal.
27.) w/ a Zodiac or astrology term in title: Drawing down the moon by margot adler
3/5. A good starting place for anyone interested in the Neo Pagan movement, but didn't really give me what I was personally looking for.
28.) you see someone reading in a tv show or movie: The Promised NEverland by Kaiu Shirai
4/5. I don't watch TV or movies where people read books so i think reading an adaptation of a TV series after watching the series counts. Anyway it was good but beware racist caricatures
29.) A retelling of a classic: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy by Rey Terciero
5/5. We can stop the Little Women reboots and retellings now, this is the only one we need. In fact, we can toss out the original too, this is the only one necessary.
30.) w/ a question in the title: So I'm a spider, so what? by Asahiro Kakashi
4/5. Cute art despite the subject matter, and a surprisingly enthralling take on the isekai genre. Love the doubling down on the video game skills.
31.) Set in a college or university campus: Moonstruck (vol 2) by Grace Ellis
2/5. An incredibly cute, beautiful, and fascinating world of modern magic and creatures, but unfortunately falls apart at the plot and pacing.
32.) About someone with a superpower: Moonstruck (vol 1) by Grace Ellis
4/5. Though nearly as messy plot-wise as its sequel, the first volume is overwhelmingly charming in a way that overpowers the more confusing plot elements.
33.) told from multiple povs: The Long way to a Small, Angry Planet by becky Chambers
4/5. Told almost in a serial format, like watching a miniseries, a group of found-family spaceship crew members make the long journey to their biggest job ever.
34.) Includes a wedding: We Set the dark on fire by Tehlor kay mejia
4/5. Timely and poignant, a girl tumbles into both love and resistance after becoming one of two wives to one of the most powerful men in the country.
35.) by an author w/ alliterative name: The only harmless great Thing by brooke bolander
3/5. Much deeper than I can currently comprehend. Beautifully written, but difficult to parse.
36.) A ghost story: Her body and other parties by Carmen Maria Machado
4/5. It counts because one of the stories in it has ghosts. A sometimes difficult collection of surrealist, feminist, queer short stories.
37.) W/ a 2 word title: Good omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
4/5. Charming, touching, and comical, probably the best take on the apocalypse to date. Also excellent ruminations on religion and purpose.
38.) based on a true story: The faithful Spy by John Hendrix
4/5. Brilliantly crafted graphic biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and his assistance in fighting back against Nazi Germany.
39.) Revolving around a puzzle or game: the Crossover by Kwame alexander
4/5. The verse didn't always hit right with me, but the story is a sweet, melancholy one about family, loss, and moving on.
40.) previous popsugar prompt (animal in title): The last unicorn by peter s. Beagle
5/5. Absolutely one of my all-time favorite books, it manages to perfectly combine anachronism and comedy with lyricism, melancholy, and ethereal beauty.
41.) Cli-fi: Tokyo Mew Mew by Mia ikumi and Reiko Yoshida
4/5. Shut up it counts
42.) Choose-your-own-adventure: My Lady's choosing by Kitty curran
3/5. Cute in concept, a bit underwhelming in execution. Honestly, just play an otome.
43.) "Own Voices": Home by Nnedi Okorafor
3/5. The storytelling style was definitely not my style; while the first book was slow, too, it felt more purposeful. I found my attention wandering during this installment.
44.) During the season it's set in: Pumpkinheads by rainbow rowell
3/5. Cute art, but precious little substance. The concept simply wasn't for me in the first place.
45.) LITRPG: My next life as a villainess: All routes lead to doom! by Hidaka nami
5/5. An absolute insta-fave! Charming art, endearing characters, an incredible premise, and so much sweet wholesome fluff it'll give you cavities.
46.) No chapters: The field guide to dumb birds of north america by matt kracht
3/5. It started out super strong, but the joke started to wear thin at a little past the halfway point.
47.) 2 books with the same title: Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roger
4/5. A brave and enduring personal story of growing up in and eventually leaving the Westboro Baptist Church. Really called to me to act with grace and kindness even more in the future.
48.) 2 books with the same title: unfollow by rob williams and michael dowling
1/5. How many times do you think we can make Battle Royale again before someone notices
49.) That has inspired a common phrase or idiom: THe Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
4/5. Definitely good and deserves it's praise as something that pretty much revolutionized and created an entire demographic of literature.
50.) Set in an abbey, cloister, Monastery, convent, or vicarage: Murder at the vicarage by agatha christie
3/5. I just cannot. physically keep up with all of these characters or find the energy to read between the lines.
ok that's all i got, what did y'all read and like this year? (oh god it’s gonna be 2020)

hello! how’ve you been? just wondering if you’d ever consider writing captain shakespeare and Captain nemo into the Little Pirates ‘verse? i love your fics btw
Hi there!
Thanks for dropping by and thank you even more for being patient with me as I’ve been hanging out with some amazing people ( @killianmesmalls, @queen-mabs-revenge, @thesschesthair and @effulgentcolors) this week and because I’ve had such amazing company, I’ve had very little time to actually hop on my laptop and actually answer questions.
Have I considered writing Shakespeare and Nemo into the Little Pirates universe? Yes. You have to understand that this time, there’s a least 20 different Little Pirates universes running around in my head because I sometimes run into amazing ideas that just don’t fit the prime universe canon. Adding Fathership is definitely something I’ve thought about and I even have some musings on how those relationships would go down.
(Like Nemo would definitely take Harrison under his win and try to make him more confident in himself and possibly take him on as a member of his crew for a period of time just to get him away from Storybrooke and find himself a bit. I think he would have a talking to with Wes about his behavior and his self-esteem and how his destructive behavior doesn’t help how people will see him and how he needs to clean up his act a bit. I think Shakespeare would really love how dramatic his grandkids are and even help encourage Beth’s pirate aspirations by helping her find a dramatic wardrobe. He would be all over her red coat and even suggest things from his own wardrobe. He also totally be willing to play catch with Ned and probably lecture him on the state of his baseball uniform and probably even iron his pants for him because he can’t have his grandson looking like riff raff)
However, the likelihood of Shakespeare and Nemo showing up as a couple in actual prime universe material is kinda small mainly because it does try to somewhat follow what’s set out in the s1-6 canon (regardless of whether or not I agree with it, which is another matter entirely) and Shakespeare exist as Killian’s parent in this universe. However, with that being said, Nemo does exist as a close honorary member of the Jones family in this universe. I actually have a semi-written fic with Liam Jones 2.0 being super uncomfortable and not knowing how to really interact with his niece and nephews, who honestly prefer Nemo to him anyway because LJ 2.0 can’t catch a fucking break and honestly kinda gets wrecks by his demon relatives. They’re brats, ungrateful and spoiled brats who aren’t afraid to tell their poor emo uncle that he sucks at giving gifts and he’s boring.
I mean, I am willing to write Shakespeare and Nemo interacting with the kids but it wouldn’t be considered a lot of the Little Pirates prime universe canon that has been shared currently, if that makes sense.

Romance Meme
name : Elikapeka Ailine/ Elizabeth Irene Riley {{Morrians}}
nickname : Beth
gender : cis-female and guilty about it
romantic orientation : As far as she knows...in theory...she’s hetero-romantic.
sexual orientation : Demisexual, hedging towards Ace. {or as people have said to her ‘oblivious’}
preferred pet names : If Beth knows you long enough, you will receive a unique pet name in her native Hawai’ian tongue. She might tell you what it is, and she will use it almost exclusively.
relationship status : Main verse: Very Much Married. {{single outside of main verse.}}
opinion on true love : Beth absolutely believes in true love. But she also absolutely believes in aliens, unicorns, dragons, and pirates with hooks for hands, so maybe take it with a grain of salt.
opinion on love at first sight : The concept is completely foreign to Beth, and she has no empirical evidence that it can actually exist.
how ‘romantic’ are they : Beth lives a simple, dreamy, and romantic existence all of her own and when she trips through someone else’s life even if just briefly, she tries to bring that softness and gentility with her. Beth also has a shallow concept of what’s ‘too close/too personal’ in regards to physical proximity.
ideal physical traits : As she doesn’t experience primary sexual attraction as most people do, she doesn’t realise she has ideal physical traits but she finds tall, dark haired and long hands to be aesthetically pleasing.
ideal personality traits : Beth gravitates toward salty, snarky and razor sharp intellects. Sense of humour and wealth of patience is essential.
unattractive physical traits : Too much perfume/cologne. Too polished an appearance, too perfect teeth, soft hands.
unattractive personality traits : Cruelty for the sake of it, dishonesty, a lack of charity toward other people, disregard for the environment, the inability to understand no means no.
ideal date : Picnic on the beach before or after surfing/swimming, quiet conversation. A shared desert, a bottle of wine over candle light. A long walk somewhere green.
do they have a type : In a word, yes; tall, dark, and at least a little murderous, not that she realises that.
average relationship length: When she says ‘forever’, she means it. But that’s what you get when your immortal in love with a Life-witch.
commitment level: Beth doesn’t do casual.
opinion of public affection: It honestly depends on the other person, she has a child like sense of innocence and wonder and doesn’t believe that anything is truly harmful or that appearances need to be maintained.
past relationships : ...
favorite canon ship : The Queen Anne’s Revenge
favorite non-canon ship : The Flying Dutchman
