It’s December so everyone put in the tags what your favourite book(s) you read this year is (are)
#My surprise hits were the remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro#the uncommon reader by Alan Bennett#And homage to Catalonia by George Orwell#The best book I read this year was probably men who hate women by Laura Bates but it was not my favourite#Really good but upsetting and disturbing#But the first three are just really well written and really surprised me with how much I enjoyed them#Especially as I picked them all up at random

rusty lake as a game series deserves more popularity. like c'mon, an indie game about a supernatural lake that chooses people, dooming them to join it one day. The fight to earn the gift of immortality, ascending to something more than yourself. Rebirth, new beginnings.
it has themes of struggling with mental health, exploring it in an artistic and abstract way. it shows how even yourself can feel like a stranger in a time of hurt. how mental health can make you an unreliable narrator in your own story. how losing someone close to you can affect you, both when it's recent and decades later. and it does all this through an escape room setup.
and this is all without mentioning that there are furries. tell me that's not awesome

having thoughts and feelings about perc’ahlia and their could-be-but-would-never-allow-the-other-to-destroy-themselves-enough-to-actually-become-the-briarwoods parallel/foilism. particularly with vex and delilah and potential places this season might go but also just vex’s “it’s like i’m a bad omen” and the fact that like. vex has full awareness of her feelings for percy and alludes to them to him. but then after she has sex with him it is so so compelling to me that vex is like. this is all i can have with him and i’ll take just this even if maybe it’s flying too close to the sun. and something something the shot of delilah embracing sylas after she’s brought him back, looking over his shoulder into a mirror where it looks like she isn’t holding anything at all and just . god. the like oppositional threads of delilah refusing to lose sylas and holding on tight at any cost and vex holding herself so far from percy to deny the pain that would come with losing/hurting him and the like. venn diagram cross over of something is lost anyway.
#this is almost certainly standing out to me because of the simple like. visual aesthetic thing of#vex and delilah dark haired women with designs inspired by laura in some form and thus looking not dissimilar#but like . delilah’s hair being down in the only scene where we see her as vulnerable as when she brings sylas back#vex’s hair down while she (on my read) pretends to be asleep while percy touches her with care that is even more intimate than the sex they#just had . idk man it’s rotting me#i’m just always obsessed with vex and percy both kind of falling for each other because they see how terrible the other one is#and they see how terrible the other thinks themselves to be and they both go. ‘well you aren’t as bad as i am.#and i won’t let you worsen yourself’#versus the briarwoods which are like. that but full send Let’s Get Worse babey#anyway. this isn’t super coherent i’m just vibing#vex’ahlia#percy de rolo#delilah briarwood#sylas briarwood#percy + vex#delilah + sylas#perc’ahlia#critical role#tlovm#tlovm spoilers

I feel so vindicated knowing that we all read those many microexpressions correctly. Laura was really playing an anxious queer woman in love with her best friend so accurately that we couldn't help but pick up on all the little nuances.
#critical role#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers#cr lb#laudna#imogen temult#imodna#laura bailey#its just nice to know we werent reading into it too much#and that what we all saw was real#maybe some of it wasnt intentional but so much was#laura has been acting her heart out and i love her for it#now i just wanna know when imogen realized she was in love with laudna#personally i think it was when laudna almost went down the first time with fhe shade mother#i think she realized then that laudna could die#she definitely knew by the time they left for the heartmoore bc you cant convince me she wasnt pining when she was holding laudnas hand#she had it inna death grip and wanted laudna to go into her dreams#thats so gay shit right there#anyway

I think I underestimated how cool it is that Little House books are a "woman remembers her childhood" children's classic by an author from a working-class and rural background. Most working-class books of the genre have urban settings, and most rural girlhood classics come from a family that's in a fairly stable community--maybe not rich, but comfortable enough that they don't have to worry about whether they'll make it through a winter.
Laura Ingalls grew up dirt poor in a family that knew how to grow or build or hunt or make everything that they needed, because they had to. Yet when she grew up, she got into a position where she could publish about it. Which is pretty astounding, because people in her situation are usually too busy doing the farmwork to write about it--they don't have connections to the publishing industry. Yet she did, so we get to hear from someone who knows that farm and small-town setting intimately, and not because she grew up and and ran off to the city as soon as she could escape, but because she still lives it and loves it and advocates for it.
She knows the details of that life and loves it. Like, she genuinely cares about raising the chickens, not as a housewife's hobby, but as an important source of meat, eggs and money for the family. It's grounded, earthy, sensible, but also romantic, because she while she's doing farm work or house work she's noticing the little moments of beauty or thinking about the big issues of life. But it took a long series of coincidences to get this ordinary farm wife into a position of wanting to write, being able to write, and having a national audience for her writing, so I just want to appreciate how amazing it is that it happened.
#little house#laura ingalls wilder#of course now that i've said this i'll think of 157 other authors with similar backgrounds#but it's something that comes to mind a lot while reading her columns#especially in the '20s it's like reading her blog#specifically my blog#in the sense of the entries being 'here's an interesting thing i saw/heard about and here's the bigger issues it made me contemplate'#and her background means that she shouldn't have had an outlet for this but she did and that's pretty cool

“The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when their tormentors suffer.”

[“I told my mother I thought I might be trans in a lengthy and overly apologetic email, which she didn’t quite know how to respond to. From her perspective, my transition had popped up out of nowhere, with no prior warning signs. She was convinced I had been brainwashed into transitioning, and agreed to meet my counsellor for a joint meeting with me, primarily to meet the person she felt had brainwashed her child into transitioning.
My mother describes her first meeting with me presenting as Laura as very difficult for her, due in no small part to her inability to see me as anything but her very traditionally masculine son in a dress. For a while she knew but did not talk to my father, which she found very difficult. She told me years later that she went through a period of mourning, feeling like her child had died, and that she was left with a stranger she did not know. It put a lot of strain on her, and on our relationship as parent and child.
Why the assumption I was brainwashed? Because of autism infantilisation.
Before we talk more about my journey coming out as transgender, we have to rewind a little bit to something else that went on at around the same point in my life: my diagnosis of Asperger’s. By the time my mother attended that appointment and met me as Laura for the first time, I had already been diagnosed with Asperger’s, which was part of the reason she was so worried about me. She was not aware of any statistical link between autism and gender dysphoria, and in her eyes I was a vulnerable young person with an autism spectrum condition who was being manipulated into transition because I was easily swayed, or lacking in ability to assess my feelings on the matter properly for myself. This is depressingly common: an adult’s assumption that having an autism spectrum condition means you’re incapable of proper self-understanding, or that you’re susceptible to being manipulated into believing things about yourself that you did not previously. You’re not trusted as being of sound mind to make choices about your own life, out of fear you’ve been manipulated.
Speaking to my mother years later, now she has somewhat settled down and got used to me going by Laura and female pronouns, she told me that her biggest fear, and the primary reason she agreed to attend that first joint session together, was that, as a youth with Asperger’s, my therapist was influencing me into believing that I was trans. She feared it was some kind of brainwashing that my gullible mind could not resist the allure of, rather than believing my own account of what I was experiencing.
I also faced this same issue with doctors when trying to access medical support through the NHS. I would have general practitioners, mental health doctors and gender specialists alike raise an eyebrow when I acknowledged my Asperger’s diagnosis, and then proceed to take plenty of extra time asking me lengthy questions about how my autism symptoms manifested, to ensure I was of sound enough mind to make permanent choices about my body. Apart from the obvious infantilisation of people with conditions like Asperger’s on display there, I always just explained it as being like the decision to get a tattoo. I am an adult, over the age of 18, who has been deemed sober and mentally sound, and as such I have every right to permanently inject colours into my skin that may never go away. Why should I not be trusted to take slow-acting meds that are somewhat easier to reverse? Still, the fact I had to fight to be believed that I was mentally sound enough to make that choice says a lot about misunderstandings about autism spectrum conditions, but highlights that to assert that transition is unique in the permanent nature of its change to the body is completely inaccurate.”]
