it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...
#the picture of dorian gray#lit#this is a pointless text post#guess what i read for the first time in the year of our lord 2023#and yes this is a real review on storygraph that i took a screenshot of. you people are so stupid god bless#girl he literally censored it himself did your edition have 0 introduction or background at all#greatest (s)hits#book discourse

THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR happy birthday @alicenthighstower ♡
I love you and I love you and I love you, on battlefields, in shadows, in fading ink, on cold ice splashed with the blood of seals. In the rings of trees. In the wreckage of a planet crumbling to space. In bubbling water. In bee stings and dragonfly wings, in stars. In the depths of lonely woods where I wandered in my youth, staring up — and even then you watched me. You slid back through my life, and I have known you since before I knew you.

Saw a gifset of Morpheus and had the random thought that he'd make a fantastic children's picture book mouse character— and now I really, really want a fic where he appears in a kid's dream as a Kevin Henkes/Helen Craig/Beatrix Potter -esque mouse as to not scare them or something. I think it's something about Morpheus' usual mousey moue and big wet eyes that make it work in my head lolll Mousepheus!!
#EDIT: This was definitely subconsciously inspired by Safe in the Palm of Your Hands by Cheshyr on Ao3!!! its so cute please read it#the sandman#dream of the endless#morpheus#dc#rex doodle#and i also want a fic where morpheus spirals and accidentally curses himself into becoming a little mouse -#- (inside reflecting in a la beauty and the beast) and he needs hob's help to break the curse and learn his worth etc etc the usual loll#mice characters are fun to draw its my favorite kid lit trope#anyway yes ill post this bc its been so long since ive posted anything and i need evidence that im alive lol#2024

i walk into the literature convention wearing a shirt that says ask me about the uniquely complex conditions of live improvisation, limitation of expression by narrative and physical constraints, meta-awareness of a specific audience, video editing/framing choices, and amateur enthusiast storytelling that contribute to virtual improv roleplay* being a fascinating nascent artform that is uniquely suited to telling stories that cannot be told in any other format and everyone cheers & claps & whoops & hollers and then they read the smaller text saying *especially within Minecraft builds, maps, servers, streams, and videos and then everyone boos & yells & shoots me with lasers and guns & blows me up with grenades & hits me with 2x4s
#for a second there the entire site almost understood when hlvrai was super popular#and then people decided that actually hlvrai was good but that's because it wasn't in minecraft#and that all minecraft related art is still morally and artistically bankrupt. i fucking guess#i should have a comp lit bullshit tag btw <- avi speaking#yt#txt#orig#solar scraps#edit hi to 100 of you. if youre reading this go watch skyblock kingdoms. or avid adventures. or deceit smp. or dominion smp.#or any myriad of things idk. still need to edit that avidventures miniessay to post here
