John Gaius was in the universe's second messiest polycule for ten thousand years, it'd be surprising if he didn't have a supremely disastrous slut era after that broke up via him murdering the people he was in it with

Is it self defense if they can't actually harm you?

If someone tries and fails to kill you, I don't think you're morally required to wait patiently for them to get it right. Of course, morality doesn't seem like the entirely germane concept when we're talking about Jod and his lyctors.

That Tamsyn Muir interview is heartbreaking. Man, if I had to give up fandom entirely, it would be such an enormous wrench. (Note that I am aware of other published SF authors who are open about continuing to write fic and read it, but not of their works. Muir is an outlier in deciding she can never safely participate in fandom again.)

Fandom is awful.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Best Muir quote about TLT fandom ever:

quote:

We know you’re not allowed to read fanfic for legal reasons, but who would you find intriguing as a ship proposition and why?

I find all ships intriguing. I’ve spent too long in these mines. No ship is too problematic or cracky for me. My only hope is to out-fandom fandom by presenting them with ships more problematic and crack-filled than they do (I will not; fandom always wins). In these tiresome days where ship wars have been taking on airs, as is my understanding, of virtue versus sin (I don’t even know what Bakudeku is and yet I feel sorry for anyone who ships it; I didn’t ship Reylo because it wasn’t messed-up enough and feel the same), I hope the Locked Tomb fandom is just accepting that all shipping is batshit and every ship is just as bad as the next. Gideon x Harrow is just as bad as Teacher x Crux is as bad as Hot Sauce x Cytherea the First is as bad as Camilla x Juno Zeta is as bad as Silas x Every Asht Brother (actually, I wrote the Asht brothers in an unrelated piece that’ll never see the light of day and imo they’ve suffered enough, but).

I was in the Kingdom Hearts fandom briefly. We shipped people with Goofy. Actually, let’s go with that. Naberius Tern x Goofy. On second thought, please don’t go with that. Goofy had a happy marriage and would know better.

This question has sparked some debate among the editorial team here because we absolutely can’t agree on one. Do you have a favorite character?

Yes. As of twenty seconds ago, it’s Naberius because I can’t enthuse enough over how he and Goofy’s relationship would break down because Babs spends so much money on silk pillowcases to avoid hair frizz. He only needs two, max, but has twenty. I hope Goofy goes on longer and longer adventures with Sora and Donald to try to ignore how his love life is breaking down over Naberius leaving the wedding they were just attending because he saw some other dude wearing the same shirt. Leave him, Goofy!!!

I pray the tomb is shut forever, I pray the rock is never rolled away. I pray that which was buried remains buried, insensate, in perpetual rest, with closed eye and stilled brain. I pray it lives, I pray it sleeps ... I pray for the needs of the Emperor All-Giving, the Undying King, His Virtues and his men. I pray for the Second House, the Third, the Fourth, the Fifth; the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth. I pray for the Ninth House, and I pray for it to be fruitful. I pray for the soldiers and adepts far from home, and all those parts of the Empire that live in unrest and disquiet. Let it be so.

Best Muir quote about TLT fandom ever:

I may have to keep this (specifically the headcannon springing fully formed as to Goofy and Naberius' slowly declining marriage in less than a minute) in my back pocket to help explain the Mind of Muir to people when I can get them to first start reading Gideon (or while trying to convince them). It's this ^^^ kind of ridiculous and hilarious premise mixed with insane interconnectivity and foreshadowing and a wonderfully complex world and overarching plot.

It’s an older anime and Kuwabara is a big, lovable red-headed idiot much like Gideon, while Hiei is a small very powerful demon.

In other words: a perfect casting.

I do wonder who that makes Yosuke though. If he weren’t such a braggart and kind of an idiot himself I would swap Hiei and Yosuke because of the main character position and increasingly powerful power-ups and the homoerotic undertones of the pair in the anime.

My partner's reaction to the prologue of Harrow:



"Some people are subtle with it, but her foreshadowing rampages through the narrative like a rhinoceros!"

Her reaction to Jod: "I have my doubts about him. Like, you don't get to be a necromantic god-emperor by being a good guy."

Guys as careful as John don't have accidents.

That brief mask-off moment in Nona has killed any benefit of doubt that I might have given him, and no amount of thanergy is going to resurrect it. I know that type of predator all too well: someone who hides their abuse behind a fumbling persona, while knowing exactly what they are doing and reveling in it.
