If you should happen, by any unlikely chance, to know a man more blessed in a laugh than Scrooge's nephew, all I can say is, I should like to know him too. Introduce him to me, and I'll cultivate his acquaintance.

Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Random book quote of the day

And just like that, it was over. […] I don’t pretend to know much about love, but that’s how great loves come to an end […] in the silence of regret. And that‘s how my brother Odin and I reached the end of our fellowship; […] I could see his disappointment, his pain in the way he looked at me, although he never said a word […] I think I’d have preferred it if he‘d simply punished me. That, I could have dealt with.

[The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. Harris - p.185]

Anyone who expects love to be sensible has perhaps never loved.

Too many thoughts for one brain, too many anxieties for one heart.

Writing any kind of story is a scary proposition, especially if it deals with personal stuff. And writing about trans people during a bogus moral panic is especially daunting -- it's easy to either pull your punches, or feel as though the burden of good trans representation weighs on your shoulders. The good news is that we are living during a time of extreme riches when it comes to trans stories, and a ton of wonderful authors are writing trans tales that defy categorization and bust through boundaries. So please write the story that speaks to you, the story that only you can tell about your own obsessions and dreams. It can be scary or funny or comforting or escapist, or all of the above — don't worry that what you write will be singled out as the One True Trans Story, or seen as a representation of all trans people. Just write your story.

Lovely isn't he.

I finished the third book. It's been a few days already but with work and stuff... Anyway now I'm digging through the additional content Nora posted on Tumblr, took me a while to understand how it works but now I am pleased.

I cannot express the emotionnal damage these books have done to me, but I'm not finished drawing any of the foxes. Just saying.
