#the girl in the moon

[aokuro-san]

Another Thea von Harbou book to love. Or at least I already love it 💘.

If I tell you the truth, I can't find the words.

"The Rocket to the Moon or Woman in the Moon or The girl in the Moon" has been everything she expected and a little more. I have marked and underlined so many things in the e-book document that I would be afraid to actually have the physical version (just kidding, haha, I know how to control myself very well if I want! Also, it is such an out-of-print story that I am grateful for having almost gotten it casually).

I have enjoyed this trip to the Moon so much that I would repeat it a thousand times. Not only because Thea has improved the beautiful, but imperfect narrative structure that I saw in "Metropolis", but because she knows how to give the right, exact amounts of what she wants to offer us, keeping us trapped in a adventure simple, but, in the end, perfect in each and every one of its areas. Science fiction based on the rumors and hypotheses of the time? A cup! A love triangle, much more complex than it seems at first glance, and that influences the plot until a moving finale? Three more cups, my friend! Cosmic horror? Yes Yes Yes! Don't miss out, especially with the terrifying Walt Turner! And how about a dash of gore? Surprising, but let's move

and on to the equally amazing secrets hidden in the lunar mountains!

Guess all that glitters isn't gold, huh, Manfeld?

Anyway, I loved it, people. I already had expectations for his previous novel and the synopsis, but von Harbou has achieved - again - EVERYTHING YOU CAN ACHIEVE IN A READER WITH A GOOD STORY.

I think I'm going to have to classify her as one of my favorite authors, because it's clear that she never disappoints me.

5/5.

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

Welp, if JK Rowling being executive producer and therefore being fully involved in the show wasn't enough for people to boycott, then here's HBO basically saying they don't care JK Rowling is a bigot from hell who literally helped lead a harassment campaign of lies against Imane Khalif in her transphobia and obsession with women being terf's standards of women alongside posting harassment against trans people on twitter at times, they gonna stand by her, while using the excuse, "personal views". Hmm, yes, personal views- that's one way to uh, call what the fuck JK Rowling comes out with a-lot- last I checked personal views do come with consquiences if said out loud....a thousand times in JK's case and still counting....especially if they hurt people, but hey, if it means making another Harry Potter project to milk, just let it fucking be I guess.

Disney banned an episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur called "The Gatekeeper," because of the current political climate in the US. So the episode is about Lunella's friend Brooklyn being targeted by the coach of a rival volleyball team, Greer, who found out she was trans and tried to stop her from playing. She even goes as far as to trap Brooklyn, Lunella and the others in the locker room, and will only let them out if they follow her "rules."

Brooklyn: "I'm trans, my very existence breaks Greer's rules, which means, as long as I'm a member of this team...we'll never escape..."

And they break out of the room specifically by breaking the rules. There's also an awesome video game-like scene where the team fights a monster-like version of Greer by throwing volleyballs at her, with streaks colored like the trans flag.

Brooklyn: "It doesn't matter how many doors people like you slam in my face. With my fight, plus my crew backing me up, I'm always gonna find my way out."

This episode is EXACTLY what trans kids need right now, but no, Disney was too spineless to air the episode. They can claim for the 69420th time that XYZ is their first gay character, they can sell rainbow Mickey Mouse pins, they can put up pride month collections on Disney+, but it's clear that they only "support" the LGBTQ+ community when it's profitable for them.
