🌧️ August books 🌧️
Yeah so I have no excuse this month, and actually the boat problem is worse than we thought...
🔹 The Island of the Day Before - 3⭐
A seventeenth century nobleman is shipwrecked on the date line. I don't know about anyone else, but I find that with Eco's books you need to already know something about the subject in order to appreciate them. While this one does touch on the search for a method to reliably establish longitude, it's also about seventeenth century mysticism. There's lots of long descriptive passages which go over the same thing over and over again. I've had it for years, so at least I can now say I've read it...
🔹 The Lieutenant - 3⭐
To set the scene here: my friend wants to tour the little free libraries of Mildura. I'm going along, but have no intention of picking anything up this early in the trip. Then I see this title... 🤦 It tells the story of the establishment of Sydney, NSW, and how one of the settlers becomes disillusioned with his own culture after making friends with the native people. Based on true events!
🔹 Out of the Ice - 2⭐
Laura is a scientist working in Antarctica, sent to do a survey of an abandoned village near a secretive base. Terrible secrets are uncovered. It's engagingly written which gets it an extra star, but the rest of it isn't up to it. The abandoned whaling station is a great setting, although the plot turns on it being built on the ice. Not on land like they actually were. The mystery is extremely OTT and not even remotely plausible. It's very Modern Fear ™️. Disappointing because the setting has such promise.
🔹Phaedrus - 3⭐
Do I actually have to rate this? I have no opinions on this as a translation and we know I'm not really here for the philosophy either... 😂 It has been useful though. I have a lot more context for some of the things Ralph is saying in The Charioteer, especially the line about "trying to turn it into a religion". I'm even more convinced the poor boys are doomed to fail when they take this as their model.

Hi so in case anyone was dying to know, this is what i think some of the cast of the terror would look like as animals :3 notes under cut
From left to right:
Crozier- Irish Terrier
Silna- Polar Bear
Goodsir- ryeland sheep (known for tasty mutton ;3)
Hickey- red fox
Franklin- old english game rooster
Fitzjames- red deer
I had fun coming up with them :) and I kinda wanna doodle some screencaps but with like a lil short sheep goodsir and his bestie the giant polar bear lady silence whom he thinks would love England. Or like hickey on his bullshit but with more flair bc he would have a fox body and tail to really fuck up that line of action
Anyways heres some closeups and sketches

I was in a movie theater with my family, watching Across The Spiderverse, but a bunch of polar bears suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started attacking everyone, and the world was sent into an apocalypse because there were murderous polar bears everywhere.

*banging fists on table* more mentally ill characters in stories that aren't just about them being mentally ill! More mentally ill characters in sci-fi, in fantasy, in romance and fun and high stakes situations and everything in between, as the heroes, as complex individuals, multifaceted and treated with respect, not having their needs and differences ignored or skirted around but, again, not having them be their only trait or plot point/entire premise! Please, I'm begging, on my hands and knees, there's a place for these topics and characters in realistic, reflective and literary fiction, yeah, but there's also a place in those magical, mystical, action packed, mysterious and alien worlds, give them to ME

when the terror amc has its pivotal decision in episode one and after they make the wrong choice (which without the power of hindsight wasn’t even that bad of a choice) nothing anyone does matters everyone is going to die there is no escaping it they just have to live with the horrifying consequences of their own actions. because they made the wrong choice.

i feel like I've talked about this before but I wish blazblue dipped more into the horror of the situation. Whether you wanna go cosmic or existential both kind of work, though I guess the theme is a bit more despair than horror? Those two feel like they marry together pretty well.
Like. Think of CS. You have Noel, becoming what she always was, something inhuman. Literally screaming and crying after having the truth of the world and the PFDs revealed to her. You have Ragna, also learning the truth, and that he has tried so, so many times and failed every single time. You have Terumi, relishing in the hopelessness that should cause, yet being just as stuck as everyone else, and painfully aware that if he wants out of this hell, he has to claw his way out.
Idk, I just think there's a lot of stuff in blazblue that lends really well to horror. There's already themes about loss of autonomy, just play a little more into that, emphasize the helplessness before the Master Unit, and then the satisfaction of finally being free.
Hell, the Master Unit/Origin still is sympathetic in this interpretation. She's suffering, she's not doing anything out of malice, she just wants to be a person. Not even the Origin is immune to the horror of being a thing, strung up to watch and desperately try for another ending this time. This time, it'll work.
