Święty Józef

Andrzej Bursa

Ze wszystkich świętych katolickich najbardziej lubię Józefa bo to nie był żaden masochista ani inny zboczeniec tylko fachowiec zawsze z tą siekierą bez siekiery chyba się czuł jakby miał ramię kalekie i chociaż ciężko mu było wychowywał Dzieciaka o którym wiedział ze nie jest jego synem tylko Boga albo kogo innego a jak uciekali przed policją nocą w sztafażu nieludzkiej architektury Ramzesów (stąd chyba policjantów nazywają faraonami) niósł Dziecko i najcięższy koszyk

Happy STS! What is your favourite genre to read? Is it the same as your favourite genre to write? What subgenres within that genre are your favourite to read? Are they the same ones you like to write?

Thanks for asking! My favourite genre to read is fantasy and I'm writing a fantasy novel. I firmly belive to write what you read. :,-) I'm writing a fantasy novel about a dragon girl with many queer characters and mythical associations, roughly set during industrialization. So I take a lot of inspiration from the fantasy books I'm reading while creating my own fantasy world.

My favourite fantasy sub-genres are:

high fantasy

young adult fantasy

historical fantasy

queer fantasy

dragon fantasy

magical realism

mythical fantasy

political fantasy

portal fantasy

romantic fantasy

comedic fantasy

coming-of-age fantasy

futuristic fantasy

Here's a source explaining all fantasy sub-genres with a book recommendation

Some of my favourite fantasy books/ book series:

Strange the Dreamer/ Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

hello ! it is i, angel (he/him)~ welcome to my halloween pinned post !! it will only be here for a few days —until the end of day of the dead—, but i felt it important to change my layout for the spooky season so here we are 👻

beneath the cut you can find a list of the regular tags i use in this blog, but before you proceed, there are a couple important things i should inform you about:

first, i will be partaking in @bylerween2023! this is a terrific event organised by some lovely bylers whom i adore, and it means i will be posting a few little creepy stories i've been preparing for a short while over the next couple weeks. some of them will be short fluffy prompts (tagged under 🪄 or "samhain alms"), which i shall post daily and should be enjoyable for anyone who reads them. some others, however, will be ficlets cemented in horror and gnarly themes (tagged under 🪦 or "walpurgis hexes"), so it is in your best interest to pay attention to the tags before reading. ...which brings me to my next point, which is that if you don't want to see any of my mature, chilling fics, you might want to filter out the tag "dark byler agenda". i use this tag regularly when delving into dark themes such as cannibalism, gore, murder, possessive love, murky morals and so on, so it serves as a blanket tag to block if you want to avoid such topics with ease. (the appropriate warnings will be provided in each pertinent post, too, so again, mind the tags and be safe, okei ?)

and that's it !! please help yourself to some freshly baked pan de muerto, take a gander at my general halloween tag (🎃), and let the frightful season begin !!

My favorite "perfectly reasonable" reactions to finding out Jaskier in the Netflix series version of The Witcher is now canonically bisexual

I am going to quote some of the responses to the revelation that Jaskier is bisexual and give a rebuttal to some of them.

____________________________________

The most common unhappy response: "He's only attracted to women in the books! He's straight in the books!" A possible rebuttal. = You can be a womanizer and flirt who sleeps around with a lot of women and still be bisexual. Just because it's all you've seen doesn't mean it's all there there is.

______________________________________ "Another change from the books. This was probably the last straw that made Henry Cavill leave!"

This one is particularly annoying because it requires making Henry Cavill a thinly-disguised-homophobe. No. Henry Cavill did NOT leave because Jaskier was revealed as biseuxal. Jaskier's ballad about Geralt mentioning his "stupid hair" and "what for do you yearn?" existed in season 2. And Jaskier talking about applying chamomile to Geralt's "lovely bottom" was in season 1.

There is no official statement anywhere stating that Henry Cavill left because of deviations from the source material. Yes, Henry Cavill IS a fan of the video games and novels but there's no official explanation as to why he left. In fact the rumor that he left because they strayed from the books all originate from gossipy Youtube videos with no more substance than old supermarket tabloids.

There are countless other plausible reasons for Henry Cavill leaving The Witcher such as: 1. He wasn't happy with his Netflix contract. Netflix contracts are very restrictive and strict. 2. He thought he could return to playing Superman, unaware of the shakeup at DC / Warner Brothers that wound oust him from the role. 3. Henry Cavill has obsessions that become all-consuming he became fixated on the Warhammer franchise. 4. Henry Cavill might have wanted more pay.

That's just four of the many reasons that could be behind his leaving The Witcher.

Seriously, the moment people start claiming that Henry Cavill left BECAUSE Jaskier is bisexual I have to point out a few things. 1. There were far bigger deviations from the books in Season 2, including the creation of a brand new villain. A change to the ending of the Beauty and The Beast-esque story and how Geralt reacts to the revelation about why his friend was cursed. The changing of a chracter's personality and having him die when he lived in the books. And also having Yennefer tempted to sacrifice Ciri. If you think these things are minor changes but he'd quit over Jaskier being bisexual... Well, that says a lot about you.

2. Henry Cavill was still in the show and involved in the show when they decided to confirm Jaskier is bisexual. Henry Cavill is IN this season that shows Jaskier with Radovid. This was filmed before he left. Before. 3. Jaskier's ballad about Geralt mentioning his "stupid hair" and "what for do you yearn?" existed in season 2. And Jaskier talking about applying chamomile to Geralt's "lovely bottom" was in season 1. 4. Henry Cavill was in the movie based on Neil Gaiman's Stardust novel. I suggest you google the character Captain Shakespeare, who does not exist in the novel Stardust. Just because YOU can't handle the idea of your favorite manly man having a non-straight best friend doesn't mean Henry Cavill agrees with you. Henry Cavill is not your magical shield for being a homophobe.

________________________________________ "Only Andrzej Sapkowski can make him bisexual. He's straight in the books." Yes, so we've been told many times. But Andrzej said he doesn't mind the change. You don't need to keep reminding us that Neflix was the first place to officially have Jaskier as bisexual. Your own insecurity is showing in that you have to remind us that the version you are obsessed with is straight. We're strictly discussing the canon of the Netflix show. _________________________________________________ "He's not Gay!!!! He's attracted to women!" Yes, he is attracted to women. And men. And possibly a pretty androgynous elf. The character was confirmed as bisexual, not gay. _____________________________________________

"Nice headcanon bro." Except it's not a headcanon. This was confirmed by Netflix, Joey Batey (Jaskier's actor), the showrunner, and show writer. You might like it but within the show version this IS canon. Jaskier and Radovid (now played by thirty-eight-year-old Hugh Skinner. It may never have been said in the books (We know! We know!) but it is a thing in Netflix.

We're strictly discussing the canon of the Netflix show.

https://www.slashfilm.com/1309204/the-witcher-joey-batey-confirms-jaskiers-romance-season-3/

___________________________

"They turned Jaskier into a ped0!" Rebuttal:

Oh, they did not! This is not the Radovid of the novels. He's not a teenage boy. He's a thirty-eight-year-old man. Yes, *Gasp* another deviation from the books. Speaking as someone who just had to adjust to Interview with The Vampire's Claudia being portrayed as fourteen-years-old and by a nineteen-year-old actress... Grow up.

___________________________ "When you try to be a smart ass but the show shuts your dumb ass up. Try harder, Twink." Rebuttal: Umm... first, I don't think you know what a Twink is. It's not just a new replacement for the f slur. Also the show didn't shut me up. It's the show that confirmed the character is biseuxal. _____________________________ "Why is it always short haired, over-weight, ugly, middle aged, women who want this? ALWAYS!" I have the short hair but otherwise I don't think that really fits." ____________________________________ "I casually scrolled through TEN YEARS of your profile pictures to see what kind of person I was dealing with." Umm... What? Because I posted about Netflix confirming Jaskier is bisexual in the show and it wasn't negative?! Okay... ______________________ "They didn't even try to follow the books. For starters his name is Dandelion! DANDELION!" I got this particular one twice and I responded with "Actually, in the original Polish his name is Jaskier, which directly translates to buttercup. Netflix is using his untranslated Polish name. The novels were originally written in Polish." And for some reason that earned the response of "Oh! You're OLD!" I didn't realize there was an age restriction on liking a character who is meant to be in his forties but okay... (I'm forty-one and unashamed). ___________________________________

"Why is it always the weakling who can't even fight that they make queer?" Rebuttal: Umm... That's not true. John Constantine, King Shark, Deadpool... None of those characters are straight and they kick ass.

Also Jaskier has a persona now of The Sandpiper where he helps the oppressed and outcast, and smuggles people to safety. When I compared him to The Scarlet Pimpernel this person got very offended because the Scarlet Pimpernel protected French nobles and all the French nobles deserved to die. I tried to remind him that in the novel the Scarlet Pimpernel rescued children. I haven't bothered to see their reply after that yet. I have a feeling I'm going to end up having to block someone.

________________________________ "I am tired of people saying Jaskier and Geralt are a couple and husbands!"

Rebuttal:

Umm... Sir, this is a Wendy's.

That particular comment was on a Facebook thread that had NO ONE saying any of those things. It was just a conversation about Jaskier and Radovid. ________________________________________ "Another character RUINED by Netflix." If you think a character is ruined because a depiction of him isn't straight, that's on you. _________________________________ "The whole point of Dandelion is he looks and acts gay but he's not!" I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point but okay...

________________________________ "They made Jaskier bi for the normies." Yet again I find myself thinking: "That word doesn't mean what you think it means." Long ago, before the MCU, nerdom wasn't trendy or fashionable. It was specifically the refuge for outcasts and outsiders.

Fast forward to 2023 when nerdom has been relatively mainstream for the last decade or so. And now we have fans of The Witcher angry that "normies" have made Jaskier bisexual in The Witcher Netflix series.

Okay but... Despite the presence of general more acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, being bisexual or, as Jaskier's actor cals it, sapiosexual (attraction to intellect before gender) is still not considered normal.

People who identify as LGBTQ+ are still on the fringes of society. The very outsiders that nerd culture embraced and protected.

I have news for you, angry fan boys who are upset that the bard has been confirmed bisexual... you ARE the normies. When you start gatekeeping outcasts and outsiders (minorities) and whine about things being "Woke" because they allow in women, black people, or get upset and have a tantrum when they reveal a character might not be entirely straight... that's not the behavior of someone on the fringe. That's not original nerdom. I'm forty-one. I was a teen in the 90s and early 2000s. I've seen genuine nerdom. I was and am a Goth. We welcome and embrace those on the fringe, we don't shut them out because we don't want to think of our masculine manly man being friends with a non-straight medieval version of Freddie Mercury.

Happy STS! Today, I'm pulling away from characters (finally 🤭) and asking about influences. Who are your literary influences? Can you see specific influences coming through in some of your specific works?

Hi, Torri, and thank you for an interesting question! Happy STS to you too^^

I guess that Andrzej Sapkowski's writing style influenced me quite a bit. Also J. R. R. Tolkien and his mesmerising approach to long sentences. And also one or two of our local writers but since it would give away where I come from I'm not going to reveal the names. Then it's H. P. Lovecraft as his short stories were probably my first introduction to horror genre as well as F. M. Crawford and his scary short stories.

Well, I can definitely see the influence, especially in my earlier short stories where it was painfully obvious. Nowadays, I'm not so certain. I mean, I can see that from time to time I tend to leave a small one-sentence twist as a cliffhanger by the end of some subchapters or the description of the nature is pretty tied to the way our local writers used to describe it. But other than that I can't say for sure

[margarethelstone-2]

For the fanfic ask, how about M and R?? ☺️💕

M: What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with?  Did it turn into a story?

Oh my goodness, for sure there have been some crazy ideas at a time, but I'll need a minute for this one. I do remember thinking of a Zutara: The Lion King AU, with the banished cocky, insecure prince and all, as well as a Hiccstrid: Anastasia AU (not so weird, really). Neither turned into a fic, although i did rephrase the "Rumour in St. Petersburg" into a "Rumour on the Isle of Berk" song, or at least bits of it (quite successfully, may i add). I blame @astridthevalkyrie and @wilderwestqueen for the last one.

also obviously virtually everything can be turned into an MLB au. just saying.

R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?

I feel like i've been answering this question since the first ask I ever posted, but when it comes to fanfic, it will always be @cried2dream, as she is the one who personally and single-handedly dragged me into writing fanfic in the first place (with her own great writing, of course).

Fanfiction aside, I do pick up a style of writing pretty easily (if imperfectly), and so here it would mostly be L.M. Mongomery, Jane Austen and Andrzej Sapkowski (yes, the Witcher guy).

But also I will never not talk about Fyodor Dostoevsky and Boleslaw Prus, so I'm dragging them into this as well because I can.

And Tolkien. Of course there must be Tolkien.

Are you lost?

And... Did you really just copy and paste from Marxists.org? The entire page from "Reply to an Inquiry of the Jewish News Agency in the United States"?

And how naughty of you, you didn't even credit it as your source like it asked! That doesn't seem very comrade of you!

so not only did you come into the house of a Ukrainian Jew quoting St*lin at them as if it refutes an entire book on antisemitism in the Soviet Union, you just copied and pasted an entire web page w/o sourcing. Fun!

For more of my sources on the antisemitism of the Soviet Union I suggest:

Antisemitism Without Jews: Communist Eastern Europe by Paul Lendval (More about antisemitism in commie places but what is even better is that it is all the more baffling because it is post-WW2 in areas where surprise there weren't all that many Jews anymore!) Power and Policy in the USSR by Robert Conquest (wherein you get to see all the fun things that were made law and all the things that were actually done! Including where Jews were concerned!) The Black Book of Communism by Nicolas Werth, Jean-Louis Margolin, Jean-Louis Panné, Karel Bartosek, Andrzej Paczkowski, Robert Laffont (some of them former commies who said writing the book was their penance!) A Century of Violence in Soviet Russia by Alexander N. Yakovlev (do you know who he was, little commie? Member of the Politburo and Secretariat of the Party throughout the 1980s? Instrumental in bringing about perestroika? Airer of all the dirty little secrets including the antisemitism?)

Succinct and to the point. Who could ask for more in a book title?

Published in 1968. A roughly 300 page book that really only details antisemitism of 1960s Soviet Union but it does link back to events all the way back to the beginning of the 1910s, 20, and 30s to show it was never anything new in the Soviet Union in the 1960s.

Pages upon pages of evidence that the Soviet Union was never a friend to Jews.
