like this post if you are interested in plotting something out with my mermaid/siren fandomless oc Marisel. she is mainly set in a modern fantasy setting with horror influences but can easily fit into different verses/fandoms. I currently don't have icons for her so threads will either be iconless or I'll use gifs.

Books read in May:

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy: Easily the best book I have read so far this year. Experimental novels my beloved. The writing, of course, is beautiful and heart-wrenching and also really really funny. She uses irreverence both to sneer at nationalism and as a way of emphasizing the sadness and smallness of the ordinary concerns of her marginal characters. The whole story is different people for whom modern Indian society has no place coming together and creating a place for themselves, literally in a graveyard. The background and backdrop for many of these characters, and the story of their shattering that ultimately leads them to the graveyard, is Kashmir and anti-Islamic violence in Punjab. I definitely didn’t get everything in this book because I, as a white USAmerican, do not have the cultural and political context. And the book doesn’t spoonfeed that to you. I had to keep my phone handy to look stuff up, and I loved that. I think more books should decide that if the audience doesn’t know something that’s the audience’s problem. The dialogue is often in Urdu or Hindi, with the English translation following, which, again I loved. This book is definitely not for everyone, as it is very meandering and uses unorthodox methods of storytelling (a character finds a notebook, containing dark, tongue-in-cheek parodies of children’s reading exercises which together tell the story of a brutal day of atrocities. A newspaper relates a parable about futility and endless violence, but it is important who published the paper, and who is reading it, etc). But for me it’s now in my top 10.

The Taste of Sugar by Marisel Vera. This was a novel about a Puerto Rican couple in the late 19th c who lose their coffee farm after the American annexation and a disastrous hurricane, and are recruited by the US agents to go to Hawaii to farm sugar cane. I wanted to read this because I didn’t know anything about this history. I learned a lot! The author’s research was impeccable. Her writing was best when she was either giving sweeping descriptions of what was happening in a very zoomed out way (so, her description of the aftermath of the US annexation or the aftermath of the hurricane and the food shortages), or when she was writing a character speaking to another character as an uninterrupted monologue. Unfortunately, I found the way she constructed her characters fairly jarring. The main woman was written like a heroine from a romantic comedy, and this story was very much not that. I think her feeling constantly out of place was intentional but for me it didn’t work. I also... so this may just be me being a privileged asshole who is used to being catered to. But. She also had much of the dialogue in Spanish (as in, whole pages/paragraphs), but there was no translation, and (this would be on the publisher) no indication that the book was bilingual. So I wound up having to look up a lot of stuff, but not in a way I found... conducive to the reading experience or helpful. I did learn some phrases though, so that was cool! She also did something which felt kind of uncomfortable, which was giving the main male character a black half-brother who, for the first half of the book, only existed so the mc could show off how nice and good he was. This brother then turned out to be gay in the last... 10 pages, and nothing was done with it other than a very poorly executed “oh shit I think I like guys” moment... and then he gets sentenced to hard labor and we never learn if he survives. She also revealed that the mc’s mom and her “companion” were in a relationship right after these two women get up and walk out into the worst of the hurricane for NO REASON and die. And like... I get that you want to include gay people in your stories. But please practice more before attempting. I also wish she had spent more time on what happens to them once they’re in Hawaii, and the nascent friendship/organizing beginning to happen with the Japanese workers. She did give her women characters friends though! Which was nice! Glad I read it, but don’t plan to read it again.

Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger, Rebecca Traister. I wanted this to be a different book than it was. I thought it was going to be a deep dive into the politics etc of anger and women. There was some of that, though most of it was pretty surface level. Mostly it was the author processing 2016-2018. Reading her hopes and expectations in 2022 was... disheartening, knowing, for example, that many of the women running for office in 2018 lost, knowing how the 2020 primary turned out, being in the middle of the metoo backlash, etc. She says at the end she wrote this in 4 months, and it shows. There were also so many places where she almost landed on some really scintillating analysis and fell jussst short of it, and instead either left it on an open question, or landed on an analysis which was fine but, imo, not quite there. Which is always frustrating. I think it’s a good feminism 101 book for someone who is outraged by the misogyny they see around them but is having trouble shedding the patriarchal discomfort around actually being mad at men. Traister is straight and happily partnered with a man, and she discusses how she balanced that with her anger at men as a class post 2016, and how her partner was supportive. Which is nice. However, not something I got much out of.

Swamplandia! Karen Russell. Did Not Finish. This is the converse of the NK Jemisin short stories. I love Russell’s short stories. Vampires in a Lemon Grove sold me on short stories as equally valuable to novels! Her long fiction is terrible. This is just... she read Bastard out of Carolina and was like “oh but what if this were whimsical and in Florida and straight” and nobody stopped her. Honey, you are not Dorothy Allison and you never will be so stop. Pacing was awful, tone was all over the place, it felt like multiple short stories had collided in a bad way. Her narrator’s voice was great! But the plot was just horrendous. WHY did she think a graphic sexual assault on a 13/14 year old was appropriate to include in a book that frequently indulges in being silly?? I know why, it’s because this kind of storytelling where silliness and unspeakably awful things juxtapose is a stable of a certain type of southern literature, but her execution of it was SO BAD. This could either have been a fun humorous book about a kid trying to save his family’s outdated and dysfunctional alligator theme park by working at not-universal-studios, or it could have been a good gothic horror story about two teen girls left alone in the Everglades being lured into the swamp by dubiously intentioned ghosts and men. But she tried to make it both and it sucked.

19 & 13 for ur tav ask game!

Already answered 13!

Any memories that stick out to you/your Tav about their life pre-tadpole?

Rethan: definitely when they were kicked out from home. they had misjudged how serious their mom was about kicking them out if they kept stealing and arrived at home excited to give their sisters the gifts they stole that day and were greeted by packed bags.

Lorsan: i mean an easy choice would be when he failed to resurrect his friend and mentor and had a very bad no good day but that's a longer story. a fun one would be when he met a young gale at a lecture in waterdeep and it was contempt at first sight. he looked at gale with an air of "you are too young and uneducated to be here" which was definitely not received well lmao

Mariselle: when she was 19 she received a vision warning her of an attack on a small caravan outside waterdeep and sensing its importance she led a rescue mission with others from her temple and managed to rescue these ppl in time. she took this as a sign that lathander wished for her to fight in his name which led her to become a paladin
