Artemis - Andy Weir

I enjoyed this book in a kind of trashy, easy-to-read way. Jazz is a protagonist that I entirely don't understand, and never really do, even though I completed the book. She feels like she was originally written as a teenage boy, and then the author just swapped the name and pronouns. The author attempts to add diversity through the Muslim and gay characters, but they're played up to such an extent and tie into common stereotypes in a way that makes it much less enjoyable, and completely breaks down any sense of relatability for people from those groups reading them. This is kind of reinforced by the fact that she's the only significant female character in the novel. A decent amount of the subplots never really go anywhere and are slightly shallow and unnecessary. As a whole, it reads pretty much like a first or second draft before its been sent to the editor. But to be completely fair, I did enjoy it, and read the whole thing. I was invested pretty much the whole time I read it and I really enjoyed the worldbuilding and the setting of the moon. The book kind of encompasses both the best bits of Weir's humour and the worst.  Hence the 3 stars rather than lower.

I love love love when trans women* give advice to trans men* about """manly""" things and when trans men* return that kindness with advice about """womanly""" things. I love the intracommunity commitment to supporting each other <<3

If ever svsss gets a s2/reboot/stars forbid a live action, one of the things I'd most LOVE to see is Sqq being beautifully poised and elegant and aloof on the outside, but then there's a translucent version of him slightly to the side and up that's entirely unafraid to scream and does all the narration.

Sqq: *fan in front of his chest, straight backed, not a hair out of place, slides a cutting glance towards some idiot and goes back to ignoring him*

The transparent Sqq png: *gripping his hair and stomping his feet* HOW ARE YOU STILL TALKING?? Your chickens are ashamed to have such a dumb owner, your own mother must cry herself to sleep at night worrying about how you'll survive in society! ILLITERATE! Wilted spinach for brains! *rapid fan brandishing* I can FEEL my IQ points dropping by the second! This is not a conversation!! Shut up so I can tell you HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!!

*Disciple lbh appears*

Sqq: *glances at him, slightly angles his body towards him, expression warms*

Inner Sqq: *perks up like a bribed 5yo* BUNHE!!

OH YEAH HIS TAIL ALSO LIGHTS UP

here's a bunch of quick reactions to some of the smaller bits, while I work on bigger things for the bigger bits and obsess over Silver's breakdown some more. don't be fooled -- this is only the beginning of my descent into pure diasomnia hell.

(I also need to figure out how to draw OB Mal better)

the thing about wicked eyes & wicked hearts is that if you DIDN’T read the masked empire you feel like you’re missing out on context because you didn’t do your dragon age homework on time, but if you DID read the masked empire it’s like every single we&wh characterisation is designed to say fuck you in particular for doing that. everybody loses!!

Someday the "if you still read Harry Potter fanfic you are LITERALLY funding transphobia" crowd is going to realize that Brandon Sanderson tithes to the Mormon church and that's probably when I'll just delete my account
