one thing about tj klune he’s going to create a socially awkward little guy who doesn’t quite know how to respond to literally any situation that they’ve been put in and i am going to eat it up every time!!! because heck if that is not me!!!!

T.J. Klune and V.E. Schwab, two popular and beloved authors with large queer fan bases, both naming their asexual main character Victor give evidence to a secret society for queer authors and I will hear no arguments otherwise. From now on I propose we assume all characters named Victor are asexual unless explicitly told differently.

Daily drawing for June 18 and 19 is absolute brain rot from the one scene in the lives of puppets. Hap and Vic my beloveds…..

“You were made to bring happiness. You are alive in ways we are not. You are soft and fragile. But you are complex and disturbing and sometimes foolishly brilliant.”

In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune

tj klune you've done it again

[shrekgogurt]

okay so I just finished In The Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune and the ace but not necessarily aro representation of Victor made me feel so seen in the way he interacted with intimacy like it was so close to my own personal asexuality flavor in a way I’ve never really found in any stories before like the way his body reacts to the thought of having sex is something that can be so so so so so so so so personal

and the romance is there but it’s not traditional like it has an aro bend to it without maybe being fully aro in a way that’s hard to define that I relate to so fucking hard as someone who is definitely ace but like somewhere in the ???????? wild west between allo and aro and it’s making me tear up again thinking about it

Victor “Vic” Lawson from In the Lives of Puppets is asexual!

“What makes you happy?”

Vic looked up at the stars. “Home. The forest. Out here, I feel… small. Like I could get lost and no one would ever know.”

“Pish posh,” the Coachman said. “Your friends would know. And I doubt they’d allow it, not even for a moment. Perhaps you’ll be lost at some point, but they will find you.”

“That,” Vic said, voice barely carrying above the wind. “That’s at least a part of my happiness, I think. Knowing I’d be found.”

thats not how you roast those

[i-read-words]

Just read In The Lives Of Puppets by T.J Klune. I love Nurse Ratched so much, and I never expected to find myself emotionally attached to a roomba with anxiety. Also, does anyone else think Victor is autistic-coded, or is that just me?

"I a-am H-hap." "Why?" Dad asked. "Why do you want to be Hap?" Hap said, "In my head. Words. Whispers." "And what do they whisper?" "Victor," Hap said. "Nurse Ratched. Rambo." And: "Hysterically Angry Puppet." Three words not uttered since they'd returned from the City of Electric Dreams. "Do you know me?" Vic asked. Hap said "no" and "yes" and "You are human, you have human blood and human thoughts" and "I dreamed. I dreamed you kissed me in a room of screens and butterfly wings. You're a ghost in my head. I want to know why. I want to know you." With a bittersweet ache in his heart, Vic said, "Hap. It's a good name. I like it. Fits you." Though it was faint, Hap smiled.

I loved in the lives of puppets so much, but I do just have thoughts! Like idve loved to have seen more development of their new home at the end, but also it wasn’t a bad length. I think the thing I’d really have liked to see would be a longer journey in the first half. What do they discover on their trek? More fleshing out of the world would be neat. More time for Hap and Victor to develop a relationship maybe? I’m not gonna say I dislike how it actually was written, I’m just musing. I do, however, quite like the way the ending leaves things open; especially since one of the big things Victor decided for himself is that he isn’t the savior of mankind or god or anything like that. We can assume they eventually start to engineer more humans, but he doesn’t make it his burden to remake humanity, he just focuses on being alive and with those he loves and being human and all that. Will he fall victim to the same mistakes as his blood before him? Maybe, maybe not, but he wants to be better than those that came before him. Alright I’m gonna end this tangent here. All in all, loved it, totally recommend it. Are there bits where I’m like “hmm idk if I love the pacing/plot choices here” but it’s not early enough to break my immersion.

Edit: I am once again shifting some opinions and I do actually agree that I would’ve liked to see more about what happened to like,,, all of robot society after the Big Ol’ Wipe, like I kind of went with the way it was written like sure but also like,,, a little more even just like thought on it from victor might’ve been nice? Like there are a lot of implications there and like he does weigh that decision like was that right of him to do, but I think it’d’ve been worth taking more time to explore.
