"I can't find any reason to celebrate the assassination of the Iranian supreme leader because I think it's part of a package ... It's also part of the killing of Iranian innocent people," says Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, a longtime critic of the Iranian government.

Mel Medarda and Sevika in fantasy styled clothes in a parody of "reincarnated into villainess" webtoon covers

Comic of Mel Medarda in the modern AU transmigrating into the fantasy book she's reading based off Arcane as a villainess. She decides to take matters into her own hands to resolve the plot and ends up finding Sevika in Madam Babette's pleasure house

“I reincarnated into the villainess” power fantasy webtoons but I make it #melvika

just recently read the substack ver of what manner of man by st john starling in between studying and wow epistolary format is such a delight. will be buying it on itch.io once i got the funds for sure

lrp made me rethink if wtc has enough stakes that is appropriate for its genre (a ghost story)

There is a likeability crisis in much contemporary queer sff. Authors are unwilling to make their characters look bad, and it compromises the integrity of the story. I don’t think this is the result of individual authors’ incompetence. The state of the publishing industry and the social media ecosystem around genre fiction has refigured the reader as, primarily, a customer, and the customer is always right. If Yamamoto had written a highly entertaining and optimistic crime novel with a cast of highly flawed marginalized people who the reader is expected to root for even as they hurt each other, themselves, and the people around them—if they took seriously the premise of they story they did in fact write—it may have been more difficult to market. It may have received more negative Goodreads reviews from the kind of people who don’t like Wuthering Heights because it’s just a bunch of terrible people treating each other terribly. But oh my god. Who cares. Those people can go read a book that isn’t about people who steal things for a living and send each other to jail. Expecting authors to honour the gravity of their own concepts is not in conflict with appreciating fun, escapist genre fiction. Why are the “let people enjoy things [and don’t say anything negative about the things they enjoy]” crew the only ones who deserve to enjoy anything?

durandal.blog/blog/hammaja... 3,100 word book review that started as an attempt to articulate what didn't work for me about makana yamamoto's "hammajang luck" and spun out into something about twilight mirage, michael mann's film heat, and suspension of emotional disbelief
