forced to redo my RSS feeds bc my reader isn't working right. Theoretically, this would be my chance to stick it all onto my Dreamwidth reading page for convenience and to get me more active here... but i'm not feeling it so instead you're just getting this notice. sorry.

i've gotten back into Fate Hollow Ataraxia, really enjoying it. Something about the way Medusa's backstory is handled really reminds me of how Wheel of Time handles retold myths, some kind of mixture of intentional subversion and "I'm using this cool bit of scholarship, which may or may not be accurate, as the basis of my retelling." Makes for some cool material, but now i'm curious where the writers are getting their inspiration.

I still want to make a post about the No ICE in Minnesota bundle bc there's a lot of cool stuff there, just gotta muster the motivation

how are y'all, how's things

silversea: A dragon reading a book (Reading Dragon)

Never was a big fan of classic literature (this may or may not have something to do with my parents giving me children's abridged versions of classic literature as a kid...), but in the last few years I started venturing out of my usual speculative fiction/weeb tastes. Started with Dracula and Frankenstein and the likes, was pleasantly surprised by how readable they were. In retrospect, of course they are very readable, that's why they endured so many years!

Finding Standard Ebooks exposed me to a whole new world though. Highly recommend for any book that's out of copyright.

ramblings, feel free to ignore )

It's been a while since I last posted, mainly because of depression, not having anything to say, etc. Trying to get back in the habit, but I think it'll be infrequent posts anyway.

Recently read Lady Susan by Jane Austen and then watched Love & Friendship (confusingly named after a different Austen work) directed by Whit Stillman.

When I discuss queer topics in fandom spaces geared towards older folks, like Dreamwidth, a lot of people express that they would like to use my neopronouns, but they don't know how. So, I made this small run-down, for people who would like to learn. I will be using she/her or he/him as a base example for all of these.

Please keep in mind that, if you use any of these incorrectly, I won't be upset! I appreciate the effort itself deeply. And, if you prefer to use more well-known pronouns for me, you can use alternating he/she.

Fae/faer
Replace "she" with "fae". Replace "her" with "faer". Replace "hers" with "faers". Replace "herself" with "faerself".
"She is very passionate. I met her recently. Is that her computer? She told me that it was hers. She prefers to do things by herself."
"Fae is very passionate. I met faer recently. Is that faer computer? Fae told me that it was faers. Fae prefers to do things by faerself."

That set is the most unique in its usage, because it is the only set that I use that is not "nounself" (a neopronoun set which centers around using a noun). All of the rest of my pronouns follow an extremely similar format to each other.

Adding "figure out differences between RPG Maker 2000/2003/XP/MV" to my to-do list. And I suppose "actually make something with them" too, that would also be good to do.

it was a really good deal
