It's really frustrating to read a review of historical fiction that's very clearly trying to portray period accurate attitudes and see the review essentially boils down to 'well, why isn't this character framing their oppression in a way I, a modern person, would.'

...What if I did a video essay on the Fifth Season and Parable of the Sower and how both approach themes of apocalypse, in vs out groups, climate change, and slavery.
Okay, so on your regular scheduled "Jonah recommends media" posts, I'm going to recommend: Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia It's an anime about a Persian girl in the 1300th century whose people were conquered by the Mongols, and it's delightfully historically accurate www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Sz...

I think the most jarring thing about Parable of the Sower as a modern reader is that the character who wants to colonize space is the heroine meant to be the book's moral center. That's what most feels like a time capsule 30 years later
I've been fleshing out that silly visual novel I've been sitting on for a few years because I wanted an excuse to draw, and incredibly on brand of me, I've given the murder victim a past polyamorous relationship that involved the MC's (now dead) brother and a character that is one of romance routes.

I need a haircut, but it's quite nice to look like myself today XD I felt quite naked without my printed button downs

Femming it up for my cousin's wedding. I look very... prim XD

I'm enjoying Parable of the Sower (though I'm still chewing on my thoughts on how the book frames violence and poverty. I want to see if it's planning on saying anything about dehumanization or if that's an artifact of the 90's attitude towards crime.) BUT I do really want a lighter read after
It's really funny to be told I have short person energy when I am around the average height for men...
RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...
Had an odd dream that I was in a polyamorous relationship with Dedue and Felix Fire Emblem. Not sure what that was about, lol
I decided to start reading Parable of the Sower and got to say, there's something eerie reading a book published the year I was born that takes place starting in 2024 in California. Not sure what to make of it yet, but it's compelling so far

Honestly, not even my strongest critique of this book, but author, if your setting is meant to be thinly veiled fantasy Russia... Why do the names not work like Russian names. Russian's don't have middle names, we have patronymics.
My other silly thought about Witch Hat Atlier is that it's been a while since I've seen a male character designed to be as fan service-y to a certain demographic as Qifrey. Very much the sad sort of twink you want to see bent over a table, leaking from his eye.
Sometimes, I'm like 'oh, I adore this character and how painfully messy she is' and I read a review that's like 'yeah, this character is really hard to like' and I can't help but laugh Anyway Witch Hat Atelier is great and Agott is amazing and I can't wait to watch her grow
