The Short Story Reader #95 - Escapee by China Miéville

Previous | Next “Escapee” is the second Mieville story to have adopted the format of a trailer, its scenes written along with time stamps. This one is all faux epic, on-the-nose dialogue, and tense scene falling on scene – though beyond the mild Matrix-y hints I got from the text, I didn’t find anything to blow my socks off. Maybe because it’s late and I nearly forgot to read or write about a…

i still firmly believe that those four fags from new jersey are incapable of being within 7km of each other and NOT writing at least SOMETHING. like. they have to have created something new since foundations right??? they haven't spent all this time together without working on new stuff(songs?) i'm so sure.

one thing I find really interesting, and kind of sad, about Scaramouche/Wanderer, is that, despite currently being in his healing era, he's still concerningly nonchalant about a lot of his backstory. Let's take Dottore for an example. The Wanderer says, in hs voicelines, something along the lines of being disappointed that he has destroyed all his segments, because he would have liked to destroy them by himself, and in Inversion of Genesis, he says he will seek revenge on Dottore eventually. Should be a sign of him confronting his trauma, and to an extent, it is, but the way it's portrayed in game makes it seem like his desire to get revenge on Dottore is primarily motivated by what happened to Niwa. Which is valid, it was Dottore who did that, but it's a little concerning that we don't really hear Scaramouche/Wanderer complain about the whole human experiment thing, no? Sure, he agreed to it and states that he participated voluntarily, but it's a little disconcerting that Nahida describes it as genuine torture, and for Scaramouche, it's kind of just a secondary thing. Of course, if we go with the three betrayals, obviously Niwa's death messed him up a lot as well, but after Inversion of Genesis it kind of seems like getting revenge on Dottore is part of his whole self-atonement thing, since Dottore killing Niwa led to Scara eventually killing all those blacksmiths. I do wonder if they'll elaborate on any of this when we get their confrontation ingame- because I do think there will be one. I'd really like to know whether Wanderer's reasoning for revenge is really anchored primarily in Dottore's murder of Niwa, like it seems to me rn, or if we'll get some lines about the experiments as well. I think it could honestly be part of the healing process, having him want revenge for the sake of others at first, and later accepting that he can want it for himself as well. I think maybe he's still a lil hung up about the fact that his other attempts at getting revenge turned out to be him hurting innocent people, since Niwa never did betray him, so he might need to take some time to accept that he can still want revenge for himself as well

Caracalla having a pet monkey just about sums up what him and Geta are like honestly 😆

Listen to me yap below the cut!

When this article dropped yesterday my jaw actually dropped because hearing that the writers for gladiator ii and basically have the same brains when it comes down to our characterization of Geta and Caracalla, my mind was blown 🤯

I just about lost it when I saw that they also made the choice to have Geta as the older more ✨responsible✨ brother while Caracalla is just unhinged as fuck and honestly? He’s so fucking fun to write 😭 like yesterday I wrote bro just killing one of Geta’s servants for FUN because that’s just something that he absolutely would do and then this article pretty much backs up my assumption. Fucking crazy 🫠

Anyway, this shit truly has me geeking and my excitement for this film grows each day.

To sum up these two psychopath emperors in my own words, they’re cunty asf and I am GAGGED.

I will admit after reading the article and seeing the recent promo I was like oh shit…is what I’ve been writing for months going to be a carbon copy of the movie? And then I was like nah! Big difference is that Marcus is younger in Et Auream and Geta is older (by two years) so there’s a bit of a power imbalance between them (as you will all see) whereas I imagine in the movie, Geta and Caracalla probably think they can run circles around Marcus, but I imagine that doesn’t last very long 🤭

The plot for Et Auream is something truly masterful imo and yes I will brag about it bc I’m really proud of myself 😭
