Widowmaker: You see life in everything, you're a fool thinking you can save it....

Lifeweaver: Well it’s imposible if you do it alone. Yet if you have people around you who care about it, than life is worth saving.

Widowmaker: *looks away from him* Well you can’t save everything

Lifeweaver:*smiles softly at her* Well that maybe true yet life is everywhere. Too save life you need to tend too it and nurture it that’s how you can protect a life. Life is everywhere no matter where you go, Which is why I see you can be saved too

Widowmaker: Well you’ll be wasting your breath because I don’t feel anything nor do I care about Life

Lifeweaver: Well I don't think that's true, besides it’s basically the same thing as tree’s can’t feel anything

Widowmaker: *rolls her eyes* And they don’t

Lifeweaver:*laughs softly* They do and they talk to one another, they’re also alive it’s been proven besides life is precious just like yours.

Widowmaker:*is a bit flustered* Like I said you’ll be wasting your time.

Lifeweaver: *smiles softly and hands her a biolight rose* whatever you say but like I said life is everywhere which is why it has to be saved.

Widowmaker:*takes it and looks away smiling softly* how foolish

@valkylander this is INCREDIBLY funny because every single person that has ever tried to get me into Negima just describes the beginning as awful and horrible but then it gets good and i'm SURE i'll like all the shounen stuff too but it's very very funny that you're one of the few people i know that has given Negima a chance now that has the exact opposite experience

Started, 1st Hundred Pages or Less:

-

Finished Books (rating for my sanity)

- Code of the Lifemaker by (18/20; highkey recommend for those who wanna read silly older scifi)(honestly if you read nothing else of it, the prologue is phenomenal)

- I, Robot by Isaac Asimov (17/20; great starting point for people who wanna get into scifi classics, love the short stories. only points off is for things that ultimately are somewhat arbitrary due to me being a modern audience (structure wise))

- Dark Matter by Blake Crouch (14/20; solid but i personally found the emotional stakes a little weaker than could have been and was a little forgettable for me personally. A very solid novel though)

- The Employees by Olga Ravn (20/20; existential, unique storytelling structure (told thru interviews) that was thoroughly engaging, couldn’t put it down, and i go back to it every so often. It’s also a pretty short read.)

- Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (17/20; lesbians. Usually I’m not great at reading writing that’s style is a little more “young” (I am trying to describe it without sounding disparaging), but this one was so good I almost didn’t even notice.)

- Harrowhark The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (19/20); (Love the use of second person and the way the writing style changed. The twists were awesome. Loved the worldbuilding)

- Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao (15/20); (thoroughly enjoyed and had my eye on for awhile. Loved the main character and the concept; Wish there was more worldbuilding, but am excited for book 2. The end was craaazy. Didn’t see it coming. Part of me wants to call it a little heavyhanded at times, but then I look at the people around me and change my mind)

- Do You Dream of Terra-Two? by Temi Oh (15/20); (I tend to be biased against YA, but this was lovingly existential, and kept me engaged. Read it a while ago and remember it fondly. Very well characterized cast that unlike a lot of scifi didn’t feel like it was skimping on anyone in particular. The pacing was excellent and I am excited to look for more books by this author.)

- Time Future and Time Past by Maxine MacArthur (18/20); (Fantastically alien aliens, well thought out diplomatic relations, and utterly intriguing. Debating rereading in all honesty with everything going on lately. I hope she writes more books someday.)

- Less Than Human by Maxine MacArthur (14/20); (A little gimmicky at times as a cyberpunk novel set in Japan, but I enjoyed it pretty thoroughly. I really liked some of the worldbuilding(particularly the housing). Came together well.)

Books I Couldn’t Finish:

- The Coming of The Quantum Cats by Frederik Pohl (Trust me, just read Dark Matter by Blake Crouch instead)

- Hank Green’s Scifi Series (Wattpad grammar and somewhat condescending protagonist ontop of that (which i usually don’t mind) made me stop 30 pages in. Hank. Hank where’s your editor? Why is an entire paragraph in italics. Please, I can’t do this.

Funny story with this one. I accidentally read the first 100 pages of his second book, which made the first book more unbearable. I actually enjoyed it, and even went so far as to annotate parts of it to give to my girlfriend at the time for her to see while she read. Then I realized. And started book one. I still gave it to her because i wrote little notes for her and stuff in it but warned her lol. I tried really hard not to be a hater.)

I'm annoyed that the article didn't go touch on how so many fad diet and gimmicks are aimed at women. Ladies, every healthier choice you make gives these conartists less money.

Rid the World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day is celebrated every Tuesday after the third Sunday in January, which starts Healthy Weight Week. This year, it takes place on January 16. It seeks to promote weight management and encourage people to eat healthily and have a balanced diet.

Weight management includes specific techniques and physiological processes that enable one to attain and maintain a certain body weight. Most of these techniques comprise long-term lifestyle strategies that promote healthy eating as well as daily physical activity. It involves developing meaningful ways to monitor one’s weight over time.

HISTORY OF RID THE WORLD OF FAD DIETS & GIMMICKS DAY

By the standards of the early Greeks and Romans, a healthy body was equated with a healthy mind. Being “fat” was not only considered ugly — it was also regarded as a sign of mental imbalance. The Greeks were so obsessed with physical fitness that wealthy people who had free time would spend eight hours a day working out in a gymnasium, usually naked.

Hippocrates, a Greek physician (acknowledged as the father of medicine) who lived around 400 B.C., believed fat people suffered from lack of restful sleep, aches, pains, and a number of other illnesses. He then recommended that overweight individuals follow a strict diet, increase their exercise rate, and — believe it or not — vomit! The ancient Greeks admired ideal bodies, with their ideal look being chunkier and more muscular — a far cry from the “skinny” physique being pushed by the fashion and entertainment industry.

In the mid-1800s, the ideal masculine and feminine beauty gravitated toward thinness. Overweight romantics got the short end of the fashion stick as clothing became form-fitting for both sexes. From 1850 to 1920, women’s dresses required a tiny laced-in waist. Men wore tights or breeches with tight-fitting jackets until close to the end of the 19th century when the vogue switched to looser pants. Being overweight was such a social handicap at the time that a book published in 1881 even suggested that governments arrest and imprison overweight people.

[krakenartificer]

the fact that someone believes in this “rule” so strongly that I can only be neutral on this poll is genuinely confusing to me. I love a good prologue. I agree that they can be misused — but not any more than any other literary device. Yes, some prologues are bad and detract from the book. But Incryptid books, Psalm for the Wild-Built, and Code of the Lifemaker would all be substantially worse — substantially worse — without their prologues.

Prologues

I was having dinner with a good friend last night, who is currently working on a redraft of her novel; she's taking a workshop that sounds awesome, but she was nervous about having added a prologue, because she'd heard from the other participants that prologues can be offputting. Apparently one person said that if there's a prologue to a novel they just don't read the novel, which absolutely floored me. (It turned out that people liked her prologue, which is just more proof that once you know the rules and reach a certain level of skill, you can break them with impunity.)

I don't read prefaces to books anymore, because usually they contain brutally detailed spoilers, but I still read the actual book. I doubt I even notice a prologue normally. But I know that a book having a particular element that's offputting to a group of readers also isn't confined to commercial fiction -- a lot of fandom won't read fic in the second person or the present tense, for example.

So I told her I'd put up a poll and report back on the results! Tell me all your thoughts on prologues!

I'm setting it to one day because I'm going to be seeing her tomorrow and I figure I can report back then. :D
