One of the things I dislike the most in far future science fiction is when the author cites artists, figures and events from our modern times or older.

It takes me out and suspends my disbelief because how you be telling me that in hundreds, thousands, TENS OF THOUSANDS of years into the future NOTHING happened? There were no great musicians, painters, poets, politicians writers etc that came up and would become cultural touch stones? That bitches are still glazing Caesar in the year 15,000 AD? Come on now!

And to be fair there is a cornel of realism to that, even now we talk about art & events that happened centuries ago. And even millennia ago with the likes of Aristotle...but are we talking about stuff from 10,000 BC?? The neolithic? Okay yes we don't have proper records of that time but the ice age to now is the same measure of time as from now to the time some of these far future sci-fi novels. Outside of specific niche fields of study ain't nobody talking about Gr'og the cave painter.

It's an issue I'm having with the Sun Eater books, and I guess that's the unfortunate rub of Dune's heavy inspiration(just bc Frank Herbert got away with it in the 60s when the genre was newish and the standards lower doesn't mean you can copy it into the 21st Century). It's 20k years in the future why are you talking about Plato and the like?. Why isn't Hadrian quoting the poetry of his time period? Why isn't he talking about the great generals of 17,000AD?

So it was extremely refreshing to read August Kitko and the mechas from space, and the characters talked about invented music & artists of their time period. Or the older art they referenced would be from 3 centuries ago... which would still be 300 years into our future!. It adds texture and history to world, culture does not stagnate for 600 years it grows and changes.

I'm not saying never reference modern things/our classics but don't ONLY do that make up things for the future if you can come up with gene spliced slug buses you can make up a famous poet that'll be popular in 19,000AD.

So it looks like December is going to be the month of Awesome Queer-Friendly Sci-Fi Mecha Novel Sequels Written by Nonbinary Authors. Which is a highly specific title, but trust me, I'm going somewhere with this.

First of all, we have Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao, follow up to the incredible Iron Widow, releasing on December 24th. And let me tell you, I am looking forward to that more than anything related to Christmas this year. Just hope the busy post doesn't slow down my preorder's arrival.

Less well-known, but very very deserving of appreciation, is the Starmetal Symphony by Alex White. The first book is called August Kitko and the Mechas from Space. It stars a queen musician with mental health issues, and his fabulous nonbinary love interest who is also the world's most famous rockstar, as they become accidental heroes battling to avert the apocalypse on a futuristic Earth (and beyond). Frankly it's the sort of thing I'd expect Tumblr to be obsessed with.

Anyway. The next book, Ardent Violet and the Infinite Eye, comes out on December 5th and I cannot wait. Hoping to end this disaster year on a high note!

Terry Pratchett made his own meteorite sword after he was knighted. Just another cool thing to note about one of the most amazing people who ever lived.

My CONGRATULATIONS to Emma D'Arcy on conquering hearts. They won: IMDb Breakout Star, STARmeter Award.

To deliver thrilling and heart-wrenching emotions without uttering a word, is RAW talent. Emma D'Arcy is one rare talent who surfaces every century or more. I am lucky that I am alive in this century, for witnessing them on screen is exhilarating.

To see them on stage, live would be a blessing, a once in a lifetime chance--a chance that I would welcome with my heart and soul.

Emma D'Arcy, your great humility inspires; it is one of the many reasons I admire you so very much. Reading these words you shared with IMDb:

-- “I feel so grateful to the fans of House of the Dragon for welcoming me and the rest of the cast into what is their universe. I have been amazed and very humbled by the love with which us Westerosi newcomers have been met! I have never before had the privilege of sharing a loved character with a fanbase—it felt like borrowing a treasured possession from a friend. I am so grateful to have been trusted with it.”-- is why I am a devoted fan.

The world needs more individuals with your warmness of heart, more people with the kind of humility you possess, more persons with your great compassion.

Nameless red jade shard wrapped in starmetal wire and a prayer trip for Saturn and the constellation of the Sword, can manifest a blade of violet flame and is intended by its creator to be a tool of Heaven for execution.

I haven’t thought of what kind of evocations would this daiklave manifest yet though aside from a bunch of anti-CoD (and probably gods too) effects.
