Father Brown starts filming series 12

Father Brown starts filming series 12

Cosy afternoon crime series Father Brown has started filming series 12. It’s not a show I watch (I don’t watch a lot of afternoon TV, the last I can remember was Shakespeare and Hathaway), but it’s worth marking a show with such longevity. What’s more, the show is also getting a series 13! Here’s the lowdown from the linked press release: Mark Williams is back as Father Brown, the charismatic…

aro week 2024 reading challenge (with recommendations!)

i decided to only read books with arospec character during aro week, so i created a little challenge for it on storygraph! come join if you'd like <3

some recommendations (books that i have already read) under the cut! (this is by no means exhaustive, and there are a lot of books with characters that are both aro and ace bc i tend to read a lot of those. would love to hear your recommendations bc i do want to diversify what i read as well!)

main characters:

the priory of the orange tree & a day of fallen night (samantha shannon) - LOVE these books so much. both have a main pov character that is aroace. not explicitly labeled in the story bc it's fantasy but especially in adofn, it's really clear

vespertine (margaret rogerson) - ya, aroace mc, not explicitly stated on page but it's obvious imho

loveless (alice oseman) - is anybody surprised

tarnished are the stars (rosiee thor - all books have arospec characters) - ya, aroace MC, not one of my favorites but the rep is nice

common bonds - a short story collection with arospec characters everywhere (my favorites were "discography" & "a full deck")

the thread that binds (cedar mccloud) - this just the definition of cozy fantasy for me. multiple arospec characters (sorry i don't remember the actual identities and can't find info), qpr, found family, and so much more (there's also a prequel out now but i haven't read that one yet)

werecockroach (blake polenth) - idk what to say about this, cockroaches kidnap everyone except the mc and friends, aroace + agender mc

hazel's theory of evolution (lisa jenn bigelow) - middle grade, aroace mc but it's not the focus, really heartwarming "wish i had this when i was a kid" vibes

two dark moons & three seeking stars (avi silver) - ya, i LOVE these books, aroallo mc & found family but with lizards

baker thief (claudie arseneault - all books have arospec characters) - aroallo genderfluid mc, wasn't a big fan of the story but i really liked the characters

by your side (margherita scialla) - a queerplatonic short story, i'm not the biggest fan of short stories but it's about two people deciding to be in a qpr

convenience store woman (sayaka murata) - i'm not really sure if the mc is supposed to be aroace but that's how i read it. it's supposed to be funny but i thought it was depressing as fuck lol

elatsoe (darcie little badger) - ya, aroace native mc (it only explicitly says she's ace tho), this one was a lot of fun, it's basically a murder mystery in a really interesting world

goddess of the hunt (eileen shelby) - poetry collection about aroace artemis (we stan)

side and background characters:

summer of salt (katrina leno) - ya, very minor aroace character

sorcery of thorns & the mysteries of thorn manor (margaret rogerson) - ya, minor aro (aroace?) character (i have a special weakness for margaret rogerson bc i was at her book signing and told her i appreciated her writing aro/ace characters, and she wrote "aro/ace pride" in with my dedication lol)

aces wild (amanda dewitt) - ya, aroace sc, i LOVE him you don't understand. this is about a group of ace teens but gabe is my favorite, i would die for him. also i need amanda dewitt to write a million other books about these characters

hell followed with us (andrew joseph white) - ya, very minor aro character but this book is BRILLIANT, everybody should read it (after reading the trigger warnings)

wren martin ruins it all (amanda dewitt) - ya, mc is ace so that's the focus, but there's a side character who doesn't use labels and isn't interested in dating at all

a grim and sunken vow (ashley shutterworth) - ya, this is the third book in the series, demiromantic sc, absolutely loved his storyline (he appears in the first books as well but i hated him lmao)

and books i haven't read yet but am hoping to read during aro week (i'm therefore not 100% sure this information is correct):

city of strife (claudie arseneualt) - is supposed to have multiple arospec characters

every bird a prince (jenn reese) - middle grade, aroace mc

archivist wasp (nicole kornher-stace) - aroace mc, no romance

the black veins (ashia monet) - apparently no love interests!!! sounds like a dream

fallen thorns (harvey oliver baxter) - aroace mc

let me know if you have any recommendations! <3

[roguelibrarian]

books I read in 2023

Threw together a list of books I read this year plus brief thoughts about them Just Because.

The Marsh King's Daughter by Karen Dionne - I was so, so ready to like this book and then like one chapter in suddenly got hit with the reveal that the backstory to it is the racist trope of "big scary Native man kidnaps a pure, virginal white girl to be his wife." So....fuck that shit.

So Many Beginnings by Bethany C. Morrow - Heck yes. Excellent book. It's a retelling of Little Women set in the Roanoke Freedmen's Colony. The author leans into how aro-coded Jo is. Also Beth lives.

Renegades by Marissa Meyer - Yeah, I didn't finish this one. I got so bored.

Common Bonds: A Speculative Aromantic Anthology ed. by Claudie Arseneault, C.T. Callahan, B.R. Sanders, and RoAnna Sylver - I mean it's an anthology, so some of the stories just did not work for me, but I am ecstatic over the concept alone and most of it was amazing.

The Companion by Katie Alender - Creepy as shit in the best possible way. My one complaint is that after 200 pages without a hint of romance, suddenly a character showed up who was so obviously meant to be the main character's love interest and that part was exhausting. Otherwise excellent, amazing, chilling as hell, and you know I love me some abuse narratives.

All These Bodies by Kendare Blake - I wanted to like this one so bad and it's not that I didn't like it, but it was just kinda...mostly okay? I felt like I was supposed to be creeped out and scared and tbh I should have been because there's some pretty disturbing shit in this book but all just fell so flat.

Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Everything Else by Sarah Costello and Kayla Kaszyca - Bad. Just bad. Oh my g-d this book was so bad and irritating and just...if you want to learn more about aspec people or think you might be aspec yourself, please read literally anything else. I won't go into detail because I wrote a whole post about it here, but just...bad.

Ace and Aro Journeys: A Guide to Embracing Your Aromantic or Asexual Identity by The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project - So, this was definitely better than Sounds Fake But Okay overall, but there is a thread of deep discomfort with the existence of sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed aspecs that keeps popping up throughout the book. It is pretty clear that at least one of the authors (and probably more than one since there were several and apparently no one raised a strong enough objection to get any of this shit scrapped or rewritten) really Does Not Like sex-repulsed and romance-repulsed people.

The Wicked Remain by Laura Pohl - Second part of a duology, and the first book was definitely better. I low-key suspect that this book might have just been Once Upon A Time fanfiction with the serial numbers filed off. That said, I am always here for queerplatonic relationship rep and stories where the Cinderella character ends up single.

Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce - Series of four books, but I'm putting all of them together here because a) my thoughts are kinda the same and b) this post is already too long. I'm not gonna say much because I have a whole post about this series in my drafts already so I'll just leave it with yeah my nostalgia for these books has worn off quite a bit.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - This was another reread and yeah it still holds up just as good as the first time I read it. Literally this is one of my favorite books.

The Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo - Another reread. Excellent. Love a sequel that's just as good as the first one. Also one of my favorite books.

King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo - Yeah I was on a rereading spree this year. This one is also so damn good.

Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo - Last Grishaverse book on the list, I promise. So good. Nina went completely off the rails in this one and I love every second of it. Really everyone went off the rails a little bit but Nina most of all.

The Pomegranate Gate by Ariel Kaplan - I have a post about this one here so I won't say too much in this post but g-d I love how unapologetically Jewish this book is. No stopping to explain things to any goyim who might be reading. No coddling goyishe feelings while portraying antisemitism. This book is for Jews and that's beautiful.

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson - Yet another reread. Actually, genuinely accurate portrayal of how PTSD triggers work. First sign of healing not being a romantic relationship but being the main character telling a shitty friend to fuck off. Literally the only thing stopping me from wholeheartedly shouting "I love this book so much" is that there's a random use of the r-word because this book is from the 90s and back then it was basically illegal to publish fiction about teenagers without having your characters use that word.

We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation by Eric Garcia - So I've got mixed feelings about it but ultimately I'd say this book is a net positive. Definitely recommend it for nonautistic people and for autistic people whose only exposure to the autistic community is through spaces like tumblr. Just don't have this be the only book you read about autistic people, you know?

نقد و بررسی سریال Man Vs Bee

اگر از شما بپرسند کدام کمدین است که شما را در هر حالی باشید بدون اینکه یک کلمه حرف بزند، می‌خنداند؟ قطعا یکی از گزینه‌هایی که نام خواهید برد، مستربین است. مستر بین نام هنری روان اتکینسون، بازیگر این نقش است که سال‌هاست مردم جهان را با فیلم‌های کمدی خود می‌خنداند. روان اتکینسون پس از اینکه در فیلم سینمایی  Johnny English Strikes Again نقش آفرینی کرد حالا با یک سریال کمدی دیگر، تحت عنوان “ مرد در برابر زنبور “ بازگشته است.

داستان میکرو سریال Man Vs Bee درباره مردی دست و پا چلفتی است که تلاش می‌کند تا از یک خانه مدرن و هوشمند نگهداری کند. در این بین یک زنبور بدجنس او را دچار مشکل می‌کند و او با چالش‌های مختلفی درگیر می‌شود. این رویارویی برای بسیاری، یادآور یک قسمت خاص از سریال Breaking Bad است که در آن یک مگس بازیگوش وارد محل کار والتر وایت می‌شود و او در آن قسمت از سریال سعی می‌کند تا مگس را بکشد و محیط را از آلودگی نجات دهد. در ادامه این نقد و بررسی با گپ فیلم همراه باشید تا این سریال را عمیق‌تر مورد بررسی قرار دهیم.

تقریبا اکثر ما با شخصیت عجیب و غریب مستربین را که سوار بر ماشین کوچک زرد رنگش، درگیر پیاده کردن تاکتیک‌های مختلف برای غلبه بر چالش‌های روزمره خود است، آ��نایی داریم. همانطور که پیش‌تر هم اشاره کردیم، بازیگر نقش اصلی این شخصیت کمدی، روان اتکینسون است که اغلب منتقدین همواره هوش سرشار او را در بازی‌هایش ستایش کرده‌اند. شاید برای بسیاری جالب باشد که بدانند، اتکینسون دکترای مهندسی برق دارد اما به دلیل علاقه‌اش به بازیگری، مسیر زندگی‌اش تغییر کرده است. او در دوران جوانی خود به گروه‌های کمدی کوچک انگلیسی پیوست و عضو انجمن درام دانشگاه آکسفورد شد. همین موضوع باعث شد تا او با ریچارد ک��رتیس آشنا شود که بعدها شخصیت مستربین را نوشت و با اتکینسون همکاری کرد.

تقریبا کمتر کسی است که اعتقاد نداشته باشد، اتکینسون برای کمدی فیزیکی ساخته شده است و در این زمینه منحصر به فرد است. او با سریال مرد در برابر زنبور به قلمرو تخصصی خود یعنی کمدی فیزیکی شخصیت‌های درمانده بازگشته است. اتکینسون در این سریال، نقش پدری با نام ترور را بازی می‌کند که آموزش دیده تا از یک عمارت هوشمند گران قیمت، مراقبت کند. زمانی که ترور با یک زنبور تهاجمی مواجه می‌شود که وارد خانه شده است برای مبارزه با زنبور و در زمان تعقیب و گریز با او شروع به آسیب زدن به وسایل خانه می‌کند و این یک چالش بزرگ برای او است.

مرد در برابر زنبور درون خود یک مستربین نهفته دارد که در آینده مدرن رها شده است. این همان آینده‌ای است که بسیاری متصور بودند مستربین در آن گیر بیفتد و اکنون در قالب این سریال ساخته شده است. نام این شخصیت اما مستربین نیست و ترور بینگلی نام گرفته است. ترور مردی میانسال است که از همسرش جدا شده و به معنای واقعی شکست خورده است. او برای اینکه هزینه کمپینگ با دخترش را جور کند، باید سخت تلاش کند و به همین دلیل این شغل را گرفته است. وجه اشتراک این شخصیت با شخصیت مستربین این است که هر دوی این افراد در واقع کودکانی هستند که در بدن یک فرد بزرگسال گیر افتاده‌اند.

اگر یک قسمت از این سریال را ببینید متوجه می‌شوید که اتکینسون با بازی خود، اشتیاق خود را به فیلم‌های کمدی کلاسیک که اغلب بی کلام بودند نشان داده است. او نوعی زیبایی شناسی صامت را با استفاده از شخصیت مستربین به جهانیان معرفی کرد. او همچنین از اولین کسانی بود که طرح‌های خنده‌داری را اجرا می‌کرد که اغلب بدون دیالوگ بودند. اتکینسون اکنون ماموریت جدیدی را در نقش ترور پیش رو دارد که منتقدین معتقندند بسیار خوب از پس این ماموریت بر آمده است. او در این کمدی، نسل جدیدی از خود را به همه معرفی کرده و همین موضوع باعث کنجکاوی بیشتر طرفداران او در مورد آینده کاری‌اش شده است.

سریال مرد در برابر زنبور نتفلیکس یک بازگشت زیبا برای روان اتکینسون است که توانسته میلیون‌ها بیننده را از سراسر جهان به سوی خود جلب کند. آنچه تاکنون توانسته این سریال را به موفقیت برساند، طرفداران مستربین هستند که علاقه زیادی به بازی اتکینسون دارند و به خاطر او جذب این سریال شده‌اند. منتقدین اعتقاد دارند که این دست ساخته‌ها ��رفداران زیادی را به سوی صفحه نمایش جذب می‌کند و تماشای آن تقریبا برای هر کسی لذت بخش است اما باید این موضوع را هم مد نظر داشت که این دست کمدی‌ها، عمق احساسی بالایی ندارند و نباید چنین توقعی از آنها داشت.

این سریال محصول کشور انگلستان است و در ژانر کمدی، ماجراجویی، مهیج و خانوادگی جای می‌گیرد. بازیگران دیگر این فیلم را افرادی مانند Jing Lusi، India Fowler، Julian Rhind-Tutt، Claudie Blakely و Tom Basden تشکیل می‌دهند.

به احتمال خیلی زیاد شما هم از علاقمندان مستربین و فیلم‌هایش هستید و با خواندن درباره این سریال به آن علاقمند شده‌اید. ممکن است بپرسید، برای دانلود سریال Man Vs Bee باید به کجا مراجعه کنید و چطور می‌توانید این فیلم را تماشا کنید. این سریال را پلتفرم مشاهده آنلاین فیلم و سریال نتفلیکس به بازار عرضه کرده است اما به دلیل اینکه ساخت بریتانیا است زبان فیلم انگلیسی است و ممکن است این موضوع برای بسیاری که به زبان انگلیسی آشنایی ندارند، دردسرساز باشد. اما نگران نباشید.
