Reminds me of the Geronimo Stilton books, what with the weird font changes and all. I doubt there's a stupid and creepy Cookie Monster vagina metaphor in Geronimo Stilton though.

Whenever I see a book that does font stuff like that I remember some quote from someone--I think it was with regards to the invention of word processors--where someone was waxing lyrical about having thirty different fonts on a page, all expressing different levels of emotion, with some words curling off or thundering down through lines or whatever. At last, that dream is made manifest.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:When I was in elementary school I wrote notebook-length stories (many of the notebooks had unused pages trimmed out) about my cat and my bird having adventures together. They were handwritten and illustrated and extremely good and I have saved them all in case I ever need to blackmail myself.

Instead of myself, I'm going to talk about two creative efforts from people I knew in my childhood. One was a guy who created a little lizard named "Flurk". He was basically a platforming mascot for a video game that never existed. The guy even had a 'Flurk voice' he'd do. In today's indy game market, I think the basic concept could have carried a small game. The other was a guy who when he was younger did a comic called "Mutant Ninja Tigers" where clouds of radiation randomly merged a zookeeper with a tiger to make a tiger man, and randomly merged another tiger with another man offscreen, and then in a forest, a ninja (who was 'hunting') got merged with a bear, and the bearman ninja met the two tigermen and taught them 'ninja' (not "the ninja arts" or something, just 'ninja'). I remember their names were Gizmo (the bear, who used bos, I specifically remember he was drawn with two of them), Stripes (The zookeeper, who wielded katanas/ninjato because they were straight, not curved) and Bumper (the other tigerman, so named because he was so clumsy he was always bumping into things. so of course they gave him throwing stars as a weapon). Though the only comic he did was about their origin, so I have no idea if they then fought The Grinder or something. But, a few years later, he did a little mini comic for the school newspaper which was about potato bugs battling 'a mean potato masher and his army of mad kitchen utensils'. The comic went right from this introduction to skipping right to the final battle where the kitchen utensils were all brutally killed: one was shot (yeah the potato bugs had an army and one had a gun), one was tricked into jumping into an electric outlet, one was lured into a frying pan and roasted, one fell into the sink filled with soapy water and drowned or something, and finally the mean potato masher was tricked into jumping into a blender and destroyed. Still think it was a cute little thing, brutal deaths aside, and it wasn't like there was blood in it. Though I mainly remember it as presenting the scenario as something like a kid's cartoon with the villain being foiled and running off yelling curses every week, and then the potato bugs just up and massacred their enemies.

The context of furries and terrible writing reminded me that despite the recent attempts of the fandom to purge it's chud elements, there was a recent furry MilSF story anthology that had to publish a retraction and apology after "accidentally" publishing a Islamophobic story where (IIRC) a robot bird blows up some Muslim kids with a grenade while they're hiding on top of a mosque and then flies off after doing some monologue about how Islam is violent and can never be dealt with peacefully.

Yeah, that sort of thing doesn't happen "accidentally", does it? They just thought that no one would care. Some argue that SF has long had a regressive aspect and MilSF is just a lot more blatant about it.

You could easily trace it all back to the roots as pulp and Invasion Fiction, which used to be its own genre that War of the Worlds was the first one to replace the foreign power with aliens. (Could be argued that spy fiction, Tom Clancy and such has replaced it, though you still get Red Dawn and the like) Doesn't help there's a ton of furries in the military.

Found it: https://dogpatch.press/2018/08/06/review-red-engines/ quote:The children make their way to a rooftop and witness their town’s defenders make a last stand at the mosque. Outgunned and outnumbered, the fighters go down quickly. Aisha, who I should remind you is a child, makes to drop a rock on a soldier’s head, but Hughin alerts the soldier, who manages to dodge it. The statement from the publisher was essentially that only a couple people read it beforehand due to having a small staff and they "lacked the proper perspective."

I just bought Kiss Me Judas, the first installment of the Phineas Poe series, and it’s almost painfully bad. It’s about a former cop who ends up in a mental hospital while investigating the Denver PD Internal Affairs, and on his first day out a prostitute roofies him and replaces his kidney with a bag of heroin. The entire book seems to be written like this:

Also chitoryu, your e reader or whatever is going to become a cursed object if you keep subjecting it to this stuff.

Publishing companies are complicit too, there's poo poo out there like "Ghost" by John Ringo, that's just pure, distilled Islamophobia and misogyny and hate distilled into a little packet of evil that somehow made the cut to be released for publication. Like, I don't expect super wokeness from my pew-pew outerspace books, but letting straight-up racism through is pretty hosed up.

I think I might actually put my Twilight thread on a brief hiatus after Eclipse to do these Phineas Poe books. I'm 31 pages in and so far it hasn't let up. Every page manages to be the same baffling edgy poo poo, like a teenage goth played Max Payne and decided to write a fanfic. There's somehow 3 of these and they were a major inspiration for a musician whose career tanked after he got revealed to have a sex cult.
