Asimov was really out there in the 50s giving the illusion of free choice to his readers by writing gay people solving mysteries in space (for grown-ups) and gay people solving mysteries in space (for kids)

It's fascinating how the appreciation of a work can change over time, especially when taking into consideration the historical context and shifts in our own perspective.
Recently, I revisited "Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn," a science fiction book written by Isaac Asimov under the pseudonym Paul French. I had first read it at the age of 12, and at the time, I found the book "boring."
My 12-year-old self thought the book was too "slow." The characters acted cautiously, fearing an interstellar conflict, as the narrative is set in a backdrop of interplanetary Cold War between Earth and the inhabitants of the Sirius system. I also remember being disappointed with some scientific inaccuracies, such as the presence of oceans on Venus.
Rereading it now at 46, I apologize to Dr. Asimov for the presumptuous thoughts of the boy I once was. He wrote this work in the 40s/50s, without the knowledge that space probes sent in the subsequent years would reveal about the nature of the solar system.
Moreover, knowing that the book was written in the context of the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union, I've come to appreciate the master's storytelling much better.
As a tribute to a reading that brought me much joy, I decided to create this humble cover art. I hope Isaac Asimov's fans enjoy it, as I had a great time making it.

Hello, Asimov fans! First of all, thank you for the interest you've showed in our project: we didn't expect to receive so many responses! Secondly, as we're expanding to other social medias and we're getting into the organizational phase of the project, we're opening our
🪐Moderator Applications! 🪐
There's five different profiles you can apply for (social media mods, graphics mods, writing mods, layout mods and organization mods) and each one of them is crucial to keep the project sailing smoothly! If you feel up to the challenge, follow the link below and fill out the form!

I was 1 of 40 people drawn to watch the premiere of Let It Be here in Brazil, an event organized by Disney+ and the Brazilian fan club Revolution. I can't wait to be able to whisper to you all what to expect on May 8th. 🤭

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh today I've been constantly experiencing the urge to un-private today-in-the-devildom & start writing for it again
#i'm gonna ramble in the tags but#i've been talking with starr (if you're reading this--hi starr!! <3) about the blog today and sharing some of the entries#and it just made me miss it so much#+ the conversation actually made me realize some other reasons why i didn't enjoy the blog in general anymore#like i genuinely love the blog and i genuinely loved writing for it & that conversation reminded me of that#but also there were so many reasons that ultimately pushed me to more or less abandon the blog & then later private it too#so i'm kind of at a loss here#tbh i think i'm mostly just scared to pick the blog up again only for it to end exactly like last time i picked it back up#i've actually always wanted for the blog to be a source of inspiration y'know?#like the things mentioned in the entries are kinda just small ideas right#i was hoping that people would read these & feel inspired to write or draw something of their own based on my entries#that was actually what made me start the blog in the first place. the hope that i could inspire others that way#aaahhhhhh.... maybe it's on me since i could have more openly communicated that idea......#i did get to meet one wonderful person who wrote a few fics based on my entries tho!! (hi ali <3)#but yeah..there's that#also the way engagement just dropped significantly after a while#like i know i was gone for a good while & that a lot of people left the fandom and all that#but still getting maybe one reblog if i'm lucky really feels like a punch to the gut#ESPECIALLY considering that i was close to 900 followers on there#do you guys know that feeling when you proudly show someone you care about something you did only to get a disinterested answer?#yeah...#that's essentially how it feels like to me#and well as you might know the feeling of “why should i keep writing if apparently no one cares” eventually won... haha.....#but aaaahhhhh i'm still clinging onto the hope & what ifs here#that conversation with starr really just made me forget about everything that frustrated me about the blog & left me with this#longing feeling to start again lol#hey if you've made it this far into the tags let me just ask--would you care if i picked the blog back up?#would you also *show* that you care?#i'm actually quite curious (you could almost call me george lol)#anyway maybe we'll see each other on today-in-the-devildom again in the future.. who knows
