Overall Analysis of Ice Planet Barbarians

Ice planet barbarians at metabook24 is the book that started it all — Ruby Dixon’s cult fave series which mashes up sci-fi and romance to whisk readers away on one hot alien planet adventure. The story starts when a bunch of women are taken on board by The Mighty Gar (a naughty alien or seven) and an abductee crashes their ship on the frozen world that is far from home. Though large and powerful, the Sa-Khui are steeped in tradition. At first, Georgie and the other women are nervous by suspicion of these barbarians. But things take a drastic turn when they realize that those who had caught them cannot be sure to whom the women truly belong, as others are vying. At the center of it all is Vektal — a fearsome fighter who becomes Georgie’s chief love interest. He is strong, naturally protective, and holds a deep honor in his spirit. Read More…

also think both ends of the eddie speaking spanish discourse are funny. that man is always speaking spanish but he does it in a normal and occasionally (frequently) corny way
#i think its hilarious to suggest he wouldn't know the language his entire family speaks. that he also speaks all the time in canon#and also like 70% of the city he was raised in speaks. was he closing his ears to the world growing up#i also think it's hilarious to make it exotic and sexy and to act like it's his Main Language. Now why are you doing all of that#sorry every time i rewatch 315 i have thoughts. and this one stuck out to me. he speaks to his hispanic family in spanish. as one does.

hot take I think the sexes would be much happier if we just accepted each other as mysteries instead of constantly shaming one for not being more like the other.
like, personally, in my own life, the whole idea of romance & marriage became way more exciting and attractive when I ditched the notion that men are just bigger stronger women, or women are just smaller prettier men.
like. not only is it okay that men are from mars and women are from venus, it's good.
do I know what's going on in my guy friend's head? I used to think I did, but it turns out I don't. Turns out I've never known what was going through the heads of any of the men in my life. And you know what? what a relief. he can do or say things that don't make sense to me, and they don't have to make sense to me. I know he's a smart, good-hearted guy; I can safely assume he had a reason for saying or doing that thing. And if I listen to him over time, I may even start to understand what that reason was. But I don't have to. What I can recognize instead is that each sex has a wisdom in their way of thinking and doing which befits given situations. More often than not, a situation requires both.
But you simply can't get both from one person, and you shouldn't demand it. And what a relief knowing my guy friend doesn't expect guy thoughts and behavior from me.
#I think this is why I used to be so into foreign guys and the idea of an international marriage#because I was under the impression that men and women are fundamentally the same in the head#but I knew SOMETHING about marriage was supposed to be mysterious and exotic and self-denying#cue a language/culture barrier#M/F#x#(an added bonus is that I have gotten WAY better at writing dudes)#I think the focus on toxic empathy in our culture has played a part in this as well#where empathy is the process by which you put yourself INTO THE HEAD of the other person#well no one can do that. but that especially can't be done between sexes. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO#COMPASSION does not require the plumbing of someone's mind / heart

"I Brought Pets"
Damian comes home later than usual. Thank the Wayne Enterprises for keeping him busy all night so that he rarely spend his time with his son. It's almost ridiculous if it weren't painful.
The Batcave was louder than usual. Something probably happened when Damian was on work.
"Bane! Catch!" a loud bark can be heard downstairs. Along with a deep growl.
Damian quickly ran in case something happened to his son. And fuck, he was shocked to see the sight of the Batcave being a fucking zoo. Animals, a lot of animals, were sprawled across the cave.
And there is Bruce, his angel of small death. A bubbly giggles, soaked in sunshine. Toothy smile formed over his face as if he hasn't just play with a large dog, much larger than Titus nor even Ace the Bathound. And Damian's mouth were agape.
"Baba!" Bruce calle out with a sunny smile. "I brought pets!"
Pets...
A crocodile named Waylon, a giant German shepherd named Bane, a bulldog that is twice Bruce's size named Harvey, and a snow leopard named Khoa. The question is; how does this kid gets these exquisite animals!? Bruce is mostly in the manor, mind you!?
Alfred, with an exaggerated sigh, answered, "magic, Master Damian. Magic. Lady Zatanna wasn't kidding when she said that magic is a problem."
To put it on; these animals is a magical creatures. They're the result of Circe's spell. The magic will faded after a week, usually. Zatanna tried to contact Damian for his help to accommodate the animals, but it was only Bruce and Alfred in the manor today. And Bruce is going to cry for hours if his pets were gone.
So Damian doesn't have much choices rather than keeping these large animals in the manor. They were protecting Bruce as if they're some sort of bodyguards.
"Alfred, is this a mid-life crisis?"

one of my favorite things about learning language and culture is studying the ways the people of those cultures and languages break and/or transgress the rules of their culture/language for self expression reasons. i like learning about the aspects of their own culture that people dislike and want to change. im just in love with the world as a continually changing process in which nothing is certain or set in stone. the parts we like and the parts we dont
#willow#sometimes i feel like the american culture is too focused on selling other cultures as a static exotic experience to be consumed and then#not thought about. when in reality culture is something you engage with and change as it changes you#we're all people. even if a language doesnt have the exact same words we do that doesnt mean they dont experience the same things#especially in regards to queerness. like its a concept only invented in certain places for certain reasons rather than a universal#experience that some cultures are just more adapted to expressing#but that doesnt mean that if a culture doesnt have words to express it that they dont have it there

what’s your favorite thing to write about? :0
i love love love writing characters who, for one reason or another, are WILDLY out of their depth (yxy in r&r/[REDACTED] wip getting sent ~300 years further into the past than intended, bai hua who just has no idea about genre conventions, what the original plot was, etc, while Also being 1000+ years in the past), and also women ^^ all of my novels are from the pov of women* (and all of them are lesbians as well! most of the women in my novels are lesbians or unlabelled but not interested in men, unless explicitly stated otherwise). oh and time travel i guess, since that features in 2/3 of my novels, can’t believe i forgot about that
#i say women* because some of them definitely have some gender going on but for the purposes of casual conversation are women#games#inbox#indigo ink#also i guess a lot of my writing focuses on asia and asian characters and experiences (because i’m asian) but i’m not sure that’s#if that necessarily counts#it’s mostly because i was tired of there being so many english language novels set in the usa or canada or europe or Vaguely Western Lands#where the concepts are really interesting but only ever set in the west#and english language novels with asian characters or settings if they’re mainstream#are usually either The Diaspora Experience or Translated Literary Classics#and like that’s all good and great but it’s not what *i* relate to you know what i mean#i think we deserve fun whacky english language novels about asian characters and experiences#make westerners learn some Exotic Oriental Words it won’t kill them

can we talk about how english speakers pronounce chinese places like beijing and szechuan?
why. why are you pronouncing it so insane. i was watching the hbomberguy video and the tommy guy kept saying "bei SH ing" instead of "bei Jing." Like, it's pronounced EXACTLY like what it looks like. Sure not a bunch of chinese words are so direct but this one is. WHYYYyyyy
SZECHUAN SOUNDS CRAZY IN ENGLISH WHAT IS THAT LIKE I DONT EXPECT ENGLISH SPEAKERS TO GET IT RIGHT BC ITS VERY CHINESE SOUNDING BUT WTF IS SESH SHUAN LITERALLY COULD NOT RECOGNIZE IT AND I WORKED IN A SZECHUAN RESTAURANT
something helpful. ZH is typically pronounced as a hard J sound like giraffe. that one i admit is a lottle odd! but it really is a sort of J sound
#coral yaps#rant#delete later#i dont get itttttt even if youre english you would NOT default to that#wHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT FROM#i read that its overly trying to exaggerate how it would sound bc its foreign of exotic#like a french sound or something#plz dont 😭#this isnt a croissant situation we have very different phonetics#from just european languages

When will this fandom stop calling a ballad everything that's not dance-pop, folk or rock?
#eurovision#esc#I'm so tired of the anti-ballad sentiment#and the anti-jury sentiment#also the calls for reinstating the language rule#every artist should be able to sing in whatever language they want#if it's their own language - good#if it's english - also good#just admit that you like how “exotic” the languages you don't know are and go
