 On one level the book is about the life of a woman who is hardly more than a token in a great epic poem, on another it’s about how history and context shape how we are seen, and the brief moment there is to act between the inescapable past and the unknowable future. Perhaps to write Lavinia Le Guin had to live long enough to see her own early books read in a different context from the one where they were written, and to think about what that means.

Re: the swords post for myself, it's sort of a shared swords situation:

T'Challa, one of our two beloved babiest of boys and the sweetest lil guy, has been at the emergency vet since this morning. He's in good hands and getting the treatment he needs, but we're still waiting to hear any updates from his care team. If you could send along good thoughts, vibes, and metaphorical swords as we navigate all of this, we'd be thankful for them.

Yeah one of the biggest tragedies of Shiv Roy is she was more like Logan than any of them but because she’s a woman, she was not primed or considered for the CEO job until it was too late; she had already tried to pursue other paths and therefore was set up for failure because she had no time to establish experience, which Kendall, Logan, and every man (but especially Kendall) used as an excuse to shut her out over and over over. In this essay I will

Had my last therapy appointment today after four years. Hearing my therapist say that I've found myself again and she's excited for what's to come in my life has me like

there is something about two people who care for each other so much that even in breaking up they hope the other stays healthy and there is something about friends who are there with you through everything and there is something about that special bond that comes through sports and rivalry and commiseration and there is something about moving on and changing and growing and making decisions out of love and acknowledgment of what is right to move forward and there is something about undying unconditional love and there is something about leaving a time of your life behind and there is something about finding your soulmate in a friend and there is something about knowing when it's time to let things end

robin: the boy wonder — mythology: alex ross #1

(ID below cut)

[ID: a two page spread titled: Robin - The Boy Wonder. The art is in a bronze monochromatic colour scheme and it's narrated in Dick Grayson's perspective as he explains an overview of his backstory.

"My name is Richard Grayson, otherwise known as Robin - The Boy Wonder. I know what you're thinking. The late hours, the cool gadgets, the death-defying action - this kid has it all. Yeah, sometimes it's pretty cool." Robin is crouched on a building ledge as his yellow cape flows behind him. He's looking straight ahead and staring at the Gotham skyline that's filled with tall skyscrapers. Eight small, vertical panels are beneath him, accompanying the rest of his narration.

"But I had it better. Once I was part of the Flying Graysons aerial act, and more importantly, I was part of a family." Dick is shown as a young boy, performing a trapeze act in the air. His mother is smiling on a platform behind him as he reaches for his father's hands.

"Then one night, it all came to an end. There was an 'accident'." Dick is on the ground and is looking up as his parents are holding hands and falling. Their cut cables are falling after them as their son and a crowd in the background have to witness their deaths.

"Sleazy hoods were trying to scare protection money out of our circus, and killed my folks as a warning. I found out about it, but there was no one I could turn to for help." Dick is crouched near a doorway and is eavesdropping on the circus' owner getting threatened by a few mobsters.

"But then Batman turned to me. He had uncovered the truth about the shakedown and wanted me to help him bring the killers to justice." Dick is looking up at Batman, both of their backs to us and their features concealed in a shadow. In front of them, in the background, is the circus tent.

"He understood what I was going through because he had been there himself. He offered me the chance to join him full-time in his war on crime." Batman is pushing down his cowl, exposing his secret identity.

"He became my teacher, my big brother, and my friend. I don't think any kid worked harder to prove himself or enjoyed it more." Dick is training with Bruce - smiling as he flips him onto his back.

"It was my chance to right some wrongs and fight for people who couldn't, kind of like a modern-day Robin Hood." Dick and Bruce are wearing boxing gloves as they punch a hanging speed bag.

"Best of all, it's good to be part of a family again. Now life's not a circus anymore. It's an adventure." Batman and Robin are in their costumes and standing on a rooftop. The background remains in monochrome as they're shown in full colour. Robin is smiling as he's crouched, looking down over the ledge. Batman is standing behind him with a small smile of his own.
