G." Wells Characters: Myka Bering, Helena "H. G." Wells, Pete Lattimer Summary: Takes place as if written between S4 and S5. Cancer arc.

(This was supposed to be a one-shot, but I've added a second chapter.)

Please tell us why you like this fic so much!

The psychology, Helena's twisted reasoning in this makes so much sense. It is heart wrenching because it is so realistic. All the characters are! But all the heart ache gets soothed so well and soon, so this one is healing.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

Light and fun with some unexpectedly heart wrenching moments. The variety of species, all distinct, is done very well and is enjoyable. The crew were fun and easy to get attached to individually and together. The plot is engaging without being overly complicated, so this is a good book for decompressing after reading something with intense world building.

My only “complaint” is just a personal issue I often have in sci-fi - that there are time skips based on a made up date system. I find this really difficult to follow since I can’t conceptualize how much time has passed.

This doesn’t rank as highly for me as Psalm For The Wild=Built, but that’s just a matter of personal preference. I’ll definitely end up reading the next book in this series eventually.

“In many ways, the idea of a shared stock of genes drifting through the galaxy is far easier to accept than the daunting notion that none of us may ever have the intellectual capacity to understand how life truly works.”

Truly there is nothing like rolling along through a perfectly entertaining mystery series and running headfirst into the sturdy brick wall of an installment in which:

- the author states that all Pashtun women have light eyes (later she backtracks to say that light green eyes are “common”). The plot ends up revolving around Pashtuns being essentially white.

- the author refers to “the traditional Muslim shalwar kameez”

- the author thinks that there are areas of London in which there are so many women running around in burkas that you could lose a burka-clad woman in a crowd— I would think that she’s confusing burka and niqab, since that is true of niqab, except she describes the mesh of the burka, so she must know the difference? Except she also describes the burka as “black”! So maybe she doesn’t?

- A Pashtun woman from rural Takhar Province is named “Maya.” (Most of the names are dodgy; I will give the author “Pari” because it could be short for “Parisa.”)

- Illegal immigrants are coming up the Thames in small boats… I’m very tired.

- The murderer is a sworn virgin (called “narkhazak” here, not “bache posh,” a term that the author got from the single book she read, and which I have never seen associated with the bache posh tradition elsewhere), which psychologically damaged her so badly (because, you see, GENDER) that she ends up murdering beautiful young fertile Afghan women. The other suspect is an Afghan trans woman who became trans because she was born with physical disabilities, which psychologically damaged HER, I guess. I GUESS!!!! Because, guys, the thing is that these orientals, with their defective ideas about gender. If they could just UNDERSTAND gender like WE do. That’s basically the thing.

- I’m sure it will astonish you to learn that no Afghan people are mentioned in the acknowledgements.

In conclusion, I am once again begging Western people who write about Afghanistan to talk to just one (1) Afghan person.

Some old traditional art I made 10 years ago when I got obsessed with Monsters University. It also had me rewatching Monsters Inc. as well.

Is it weird that I find the smell of old books really horrible? Everyone seems to romanticise the smell. But I’m reading an old book right now and I feel like I can hardly breathe…

Submitter's comment:

I love Dick's Blüdhaven police partner, and her damaged, but still barely alive, sense of hope and ethics. I love how Dick challenged her, and she rose to the challenge. I love how she supported Dick during a time when he DESPERATELY needed it. And I love how even during the periods where it seemed every female in Blüdhaven needed to flirt with Dick, their relationship was utterly platonic. This story is a beautiful depiction of all the things I love about these two.

It's an incredibly compelling AU that uses the time dilation of space travel to amazing effect. One of my favorite Bering and Wells AUs!

Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson

Book 2 of the Stormlight Archive. This book takes the momentum of the end of The Way of Kings and does not waste it. Started it and could not put it down. So many intense moments. So many funny moments. So much second hand embarrassment.

“Expectation wasn’t just about what people expected of you. It was about what you expected of yourself.”

[agentravensong]

was just reading about the history of physics for my postmodern literature class (don't ask), and the first chapter of this book called "the quantum moment" talks about how issac newton's work led to a fundamental shift in how most people of his time saw and related to the world, allowing them to understand it as an ordered system where everything that happens is caused by forces that obey unified and consistent laws, with those underlying laws being something people could learn and grasp rather than chalking it up to the world working in "mysterious ways"

and my rotted, poisoned brain went, oh. that's why they gave rosencrantz those newton moments in the movie version of r&g are dead*. to coincide with his and guil's dawning realization that they live in a world where fate is (seemingly) fixed, and their attempts to figure out their world's rules and limits.

i could throw screenshots from the script of the play here to draw the comparison, from any of guil's monologues where he philosophizes and tries to make sense of the situation/setting they've found themselves in, but i need to be getting to bed. y'all get it though, right?

*while the apple falling on ros's end is arguably the only direct newton moment, i'm also lumping in some of his inventions, because of this bit from the same chapter of the book:

A short scene of Tim, Vicki Vale, and Damian verbally sparing with each other. Such a delight!
