villainess rofan likers should check out this new tapas title. our MC actually is demented and does evil unhinged stuff like killing herself in front of her cinderella sister just to give her PTSD <3 and the manhwa art matches the exquisite vibes of this cover! saturated extravagant art style

#gsgw forgot to post here too. some #choisol silent hill-ish AU where choisol are childhood friends bound by massive Disaster event trauma and choi wants to gaslight kse to make sure he never remembers the Disaster for reason. wrote 820 words of it. works as a prologue hehe watch out for Spooky end

A simple little poem, but the author builds such a strong theme upon it. indeed there are simple questions we ask about the world around us that could only be answered through the continuous invention and interaction of so many fields of science over thousands of years.

also i watched Late Night With The Devil because as a braun stan it was a moral duty. a 70s talkshow horror that uses 4th wall breaking meta language to talk to YOU through the screen? #gsgw core. great film in general, the final 15 minutes left me gobsmacked. gonna rewatch ASAP

got reminded of this haunting dialogue today from the short story Dragged Fighting from His Tomb by Barry Hannah "Tell me the most exquisite truths you know."

“I’ve soiled myself, you gray motherfucker,” said the old
guy.
“Get on with it. No profanity necessary,” I said.
“I believe in Jehovah, the Lord; in Jesus Christ, his son;
and in the Holy Ghost. I believe in the Trinity of God’s
bride, the church. To be honest. To be square with your
neighbor. To be American and free,” he said.
“I asked for the truths, not beliefs,” I said.
“But I don’t understand what you mean,” said the
shivering home guard. “Give me an example.”
“You’re thrice as old as I. You should give me the
examples. For instance: Where is the angry machine of all
of us? Why is God such a blurred magician? Why are you
begging for your life if you believe those things? Prove to
me that you’re better than the rabbits we ate last night.”

in retrospect when i was livechatting karaoke iko to my friend and texted this and he replied with "So Casablanca is actually canon" i should have realized this gay couple was going to ruin my life

#gsgw the #bronzesol meetcute is hilarious KSE is about to scam Bronze so hard with his Ultimate Submissive Omega Concubine act with the Bambi eyes and it says what kind of freak shit 007 Bronze is into under all that shoujo male lead wholesomeness

this isekai MC decided to become an extremely omegafied timid shy passive pitiful stereotypical uwu uke and then he said "this is my natural form actually" amazing he's not just a dudebro repellent he's also a wokejoshi repellent. bdsnim said kim soleum ghost story is for the #tradjoshi

#gsgw i love how after escaping braun's clutches soleum immediately goes back to babygirlifying him (there's no way my braun is a cosmic horror isn't he more human?) calm your pheromones omega i know you think he's handsome but you're the only one who'd call that thing human

#gsgw ok lizard having a meltdown repetitiously writing up case reports on KSE for a month is real tho i too would go a little crazy if my cute little ND-friendly wife was cheating on me with an evil dandy from new york who speaks with a hollywood transatlantic accent in 2025

#gsgw ok look if i had a well-paying job that gave me free housing, free dining & catering, free ice cream, and didn't subject me to pointless project meetings & instead allowed me to be creative about my passions and if you tried to "rescue" from all that I'd think you hated me

i think a novel's got well-written fem chars when instead of fanon ships you get a lot of canon ideas to dissect re: how hsy's role is defined in how kdj & yjh are both "novels" but hsy isn't & how that uniquely positions her against the hegemony of the story she's trying to fight

i am once again asking #orv readers to check out the short story Through the Flash from the collection Friday Black by Adjei-Brenyah. beautiful, gut wrenching timeloop angst. less than 20 pages

book cover for the short story collection titled Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-BrenyahWe’ve all seen it so many times, but I still cry, because, when it comes, I know for sure we are infinite. All you feel is infinite, knowing all the falls and leaps and sweet and death that’s ever been will be trumped by the wall of nuclear flying at you. You of all people. Then, before you’re gone, you know that all that’s ever been will still be, even if there are no tomorrows. Even the apocalypse isn’t the end. That, you could only know when you’re standing before a light so bright it obliterates you. And if you are alone, posed like a dancer, when it comes, you feel silly and scared. And if you are with your family, or anyone at all, when it comes, you feel silly and scared, but at least not alone.

read Grief is the thing with feathers by max porter today and it's super short, a quick afternoon read, but man does it pack a punch. one of the most interesting anatomies of grief i've ever read. the crow landed somewhere tender and frayed in me, a place that hangs in thin bleeding shreds

I took them out without wellies so before we’d even got down the road their little toes were aching. They both whinged and we all felt, the three of us, that without her things didn’t work as they should. They pitied me. I felt acutely embarrassed that my brilliance as a father had been exposed as wholly reliant upon her. Perhaps if I’d known it was a dress rehearsal for the rest of our lives I would have said BUCK UP YOU LITTLE TURDS, or HELP ME. Or take me, take me instead please.

back to reading #gsgw i'm in the tamra express and did not expect yi seonghae to be a WOKE MORALIST type she looked so much like a danganronpa char. i want her to 1v1 viper in the marketplace of ideas

you know gsgw author a fujo because all the female chars so far are presented like Final Girls who can solo a slasher or even a cosmic horror flick meanwhile the men already seem remote controlled by KSE's omega pheromones and are doomed to walk off a cliff chasing him

if i like het narratives for "centering women" i could only mean literary fiction exploring the pitfalls of heterosexual relations such as broken marriages, struggles with infertility, post-partum depression, themes which offer rich, complex, sober portraits of womanhood & gender relations
