There is nothing anymore. The ships are gone. There is no way through. No route. No passage.

When Tuunbaq's domain was finally invaded by the pale people — the kabloona — it would be the beginning of the End of Times. Poisoned by the kabloonas' pale souls, the Tuunbaq would sicken and die. When the Tunnbaq dies because of the kabloona sickness, its cold, white domain will begin to heat and melt and thaw. The white bears will have no ice for a home. The whales and walruses will have nowhere to feed. The birds will wheel in circles and cry for help, their breeding grounds gone.

This is the future they saw.

Once, we did see a ship, cutting through the ice, flying a white flag with a red cross. Blood on her sails like the blood on their hands. But she is gone now. A ghost.

This is the future they saw.

One way or another, the world turns its face again towards corruption and darkness. White men take their control, and we are slaughtered at the hands of their hubris and their lust for imperium.

The ice will melt. The water will run red. Power has corrupted us all, and our world is lost.

Holy shiitttt go off Melville House

(screenshot from Melville House Books email to indy bookstores and booksellers)

^^^THIS is why we say support small indie presses.

Big companies are already caving left and right to this administration. Even from the bigger publishing houses we're seeing fewer political books in their catalogs for the next year, though they are standing up in other good ways.

But small presses like Melville House Books can take risks like this^^ in their commitment to our right to freely access information.

Support small presses, indy bookstores, and libraries. They are on the front lines of free press and free information these next four years.

thinking about the sith shrine in the depths again, with special note to:

the blight is attacking the back wall of the chamber of the sith shrine in the depths. i don't think that the chamber that the jedi acknowledge as the extent of the sith shrine is the extent of the shrine. i think it's an antechamber.

because the architecture isn't correct. a truly sacred space is within the temple, is separated from it. it's a second enclosure. a ziggurat has its on the top, after successive levels and outer rooms. a peripteros has its portico, then the entrance chamber, then the interior chamber. even rock-cut temples have a division between the 'lay person' area and the 'priests only' area. look at the interior of the only sith temple we've seen: the tomb of darth bane on korriban (in rebels, they went up outside of the temple). there's the great chamber in which his coffin sits but also the coffin moves to reveal the sacrificial chamber, the sanctum sanctorum of that particular temple (which is probably several millennia old, since zannah isn't going to stick around to build her old master a whole-ass temple on korriban, especially when they're supposed to be hiding. also the lettering on that sarcophagus is gibberish, which fits more as a 'these letters are magic, we don't know what they do, but they're magic so we're putting them here' way that writing is treated when it's still a very new invention. so a very new importation by the exiles).

not to mention that it allows the whole 'no one has set foot here for 5000 years' from tarkin to be accurate as well as the jedi of the high republic using the shrine to purify objects. what they think is the inner sanctum is not the inner sanctum. the inner sanctum is behind that wall, and whatever is behind that wall has enough of the living force imbued in it to be the focus of the blight. the blight spreads outward from it.

anyway, that's my ted-x talk on the sith shrine in the depths.

it seems like my book obsession tendencies have transcended even into the realm of my kpop obsession 😂 like from what I gather most fans are after physical albums to get the photocards (like the goodies).. on the other hand there's me going "oh I want the pHOTOBOOK!!! it feels so amazing in my hands and I love flipping through it--" and before you ask it's not because I enjoy the beautiful pictures within (although it is a nice bonus, always makes me appreciate the art of photography more ✨): "I like the weight of the pages and the scent of a new book no matter the type 😃"

my art obsession has also highkey snuck its way into the kpop obsession like half of my decision when I decide what albums to get is "OK, but can I use the outfits the group is wearing in the phonebook for ARTISTIC REFERENCE??? 😀" (after first briefly skimming through unboxing videos) (this is real thought I have had. multiple times.)

Ty years after the fact when he finds out that Kit's "I love you" was meant romantically and that Kit left because he thought Ty rejected him when Ty had assumed those words had been said as platonically as when any of his family members had said the same thing to him:

I’d never seen this cover before…

I swear Tincrow get gayer and gayer on these illustrations the further into the series they get~

The words, projected against the sides of the enormous funnel, were pitched high above the blast, and, reduplicated by a thousand echoes, reached the ears of those above.

This is something I keep coming back to, prompted by various things (the most recent of which being writing in video games) and I gotta ask…

Why is the novel put on a pedestal?

Im asking as someone who does love reading books, as preferred media goes the novel is definitely number one, so I struggle to understand how people who do not seem to like reading nevertheless use ‘novel’ as a benchmark to determine whether writing is good or not

Or, for those aspiring to create, why non-readers seem to feel the novel is the only format to express their creativity? Like… and I mean this sincerely… but why on earth would you want to force yourself to write something in a format you already don’t enjoy?

It’s more than the practical issues — if you don’t read (and I am including audiobooks in this, listening to a book counts as reading to me), and you don’t *like* to read, you’re going to have a hard time writing due to that lack of exposure to the mechanics of writing. It’s also the fact that… the novel is but one of many genres you could be exploring, and learning about, and writing in, for things you might actually enjoy.

Video game writing should not be judged on the merits befitting a novel because video game writing is not the translation of a story from novel form. It’s a script.

Television, movies, radio plays, musicals, plays… it’s all scriptwriting/screenwriting. So why are they being compared to a completely different genre?

If you don’t like to read, but you do enjoy movies, tv, video games… why not look into scriptwriting? You don’t have to be an artist, you don’t have to be an actor, to write the script of a thing.

Why write in a format you don’t enjoy, when you could be learning more about the format of things you do?

Putting some positivity out there about the election

Harris has raised a record amount of money from small donors after Biden dropped out, in addition to being able to access all the funds from their campaign they already had

Trump is deeply unpopular and people have already seen the chaos that 4 years of his presidency would bring. A lot of people have been energized to vote against him, even if they're not fond of Dems

Polling showed a red wave for Republicans in the 2022 midterms, and yet they only barely had control of the House, and couldn't even agree on a Speaker for a historic amount of time. Dems also increased their lead in the Senate. Historically, midterms favor the opposition party and have lower turnout, so this is a good sign for the House in 2024

Dems are fighting back in swing states. PA and GA both put in Democratic senators in the midterms

In my home state of PA, I am from Bucks County, which is a swing county for the state. Moms for Libery took over the school board and used it to attack queer students, enact book bans, and funnel money to themselves and the superintendent. At the most recent election, Dems turned out and took back every single open seat, ousting the board and superintendent. Worry about similar takeovers in surrounding school boards also increased turnout

Abortion rights are on the ballot in many states, which has been a winning issue for Dems and increased turnout

Republicans were prepared to attack a feeble old Biden who isn't the strongest speaker. I don't think they expected him to actually drop out, and they now have to put an 78 year old convicted felon up against a prosecutor

Awareness of Project 2025 and it's contents has entered the public sphere and is being much more openly discussed on the news. While Trump has insisted he has nothing to do with it, most of the authors worked in his administration and Trump has worked closely with the Heritage foundation

Feel free to add more things on this thread, but the most important thing is to get out there and VOTE

Vote for President

Vote for Senators

Vote for Congresspeople

Vote in your local elections

Vote Blue down ballot
