KOLLOKTOBER 2023! Not spoiler friendly.

9. ascend & favorite antagonist.

MAN, this one was tough. i love a lot of the antags, i count the billy’s and tibby from season three as an antag as he was pointed to be in a more antagonist role towards the radar.

though, the traveler i also love. hera i hated so much cause i need me a villain who has more to them than just being pure evil.

The Devourers

★★★★☆ 2015 by Indra Das

Urban Fantasy (ish?); Queer Main Character Ok, so this book hooked me at the beginning and then I was like “Wait where is this going?” and then I got back on track and ultimately loved it. Yall got to be ready for some well-written gore though (I wasn’t). And I when the sex scenes got really explicit, I should have been prepared, but I still had a deer-in-the-headlight moment, because well I’m an idiot. Don’t mistake this for a complaint though. Back to the book: It’s kind of like Interview with a Vampire, except set in Kolkata and with (pretty gross) shapeshifting werewolves and hoboy very gay. Alok and unnamed-handsome-stranger have amazing chemistry – sexually, romantically, and intellectually. It took a while for me to warm up to the flashback storyline set in the seventeenth century Mughal Empire. I think it’s because I only started liking the (human) character Cyrah when she had (werewolf) Gévaudan as a foil to banter with. Except of course “banter” doesn’t even begin to describe the intense exchanges they deliver. Das paints a pretty nuanced picture of shapeshifter customs and tribe dynamics in quite a short book, which I appreciate. I find many of his ideas very thought provoking – how the shapeshifters perceive khrissals (=humans – they are prey, but also stay away from them?), civilization (mildly amusing, but actually also a little dangerous even to the op shapeshifters?), love and emotions (taboo because reasons of identity crisis I guess), and sense of self (the shift of the shape and gender + memory absorption = don’t ask me my name). Plus points for the gender fluidity themes that surface here and there, for Cyrah pronouncing Gévaudan “Jevah-dan” (yes, I’m a language nerd), and for cleverly tying together cross-cultural mythology in a non Europe-centric way. Extra plus points for expanding my vocab.

How I discovered this book: recommended by a friend, bless him!

Oh my god guys I legit expected no one to be interested but hey thank you for people who have reblogging and replying??

I'm gonna throw some stuff together but I think for now I'll link to the blog where all of this will go down (since I don't want to muddy it up on here) so go follow @thedevourers for updates! I'll be throwing some stuff up over the next week or so while I get things together and figure out how I want to do this.

Waah okay I'm excited now!

I've had this idea in the back of my head for a few months of doing something like a Choose Your Own Adventure story, a weekly serial where I write something (probably 2-3k words ish) and end with options you could vote on to move the story forward. Something like The Arcana, where You are the protagonist and You decide where the story leads, but like, You are the collective group of readers.

I realize I'm shouting into a void here but would people be interested in something like this? I'd kind of need interaction for this to work lol which is why I'm testing the waters.

The vibes would be Dark Academia meets Howl's Moving Castle with like a bit of light eldritch horror/secret demon cult shenanigans and You would be a student at a magic academy.

If you would be tentatively interested reply (don't just like, tho I would super appreciate if you wanted to reblog) to this pls because I think this could be really fun. 💜

This was inspired by the beautiful Indian writer @IndrasDas and his amazing book #TheDevourers , translated into English and narrated as an audiobook in a Shakespearen-like reading by @ShishirKurup and @MiraSimhan, in a style that makes you feel like you're watching a movie, rather than listening to someone read a book aloud. Between the WAY they read it and the gritty, yet poetic descriptive writing of the author, you'll feel like you've gone for a plunge to the bottom of the ocean; you're so deeply inside the book's world, and you won't want to come up for air til you've finished it. Please, leave all preconceived notions of cliché Western werewolf tropes behind. This story is utterly foreign to those tired-out archetypes. The heroine's bravery will make her your personal hero. The story begins from the POV of the "villian", of sorts, who is self-piting, but don't let that throw you off. That's just a genius way to surprise us when the story switches perspective to Cyrah : a Muslim woman in 1600's India with no family, no home and no income besides what she can make selling her body to pay for her travels. Her encounter with a creature of magic changes her life forever, in ways that are terrible, yet result in her living a life no woman of that time period could have dreamed of, and all down to her own determination. Cyrah's personality raises her above the book's demi-god-like creatures of magic; beings of life and death, of beauty and terror; making her as god-like as they in her short mortal's life. The book explores the true nature of concepts as different as rape, false love, true friendship, and a woman's determination never to be owned, by any man, mortal or otherwise. And even a bit on gender and sexuality. The book is presented to us as a story told to a gay man in (approximately) modern-day India by a mysterious stranger, through his magical and hypnotizing storytelling and through transcripts the stranger supplies the man to type for him. We are plunged from the modern day to centuries earlier, and back, yet it fits. If the art I've made isn't the world's most fervent endorsement, I don't know what is. Read it! Or better yet, treat yourself, and listen to it on audiobook, most especially if, like me, you are unfamiliar with the pronunciations and accents of a 1600's India's names and languages... or ancient France and several other places... I want this young author to get all the credit he so deserves, but that I fear he won't, as his book doesn't fit into any of our traditional Western genres. This book is its own species. Something new. Go for a plung in #TheDevourers and tell me what you think. This picture is called Banbibi (pronounced "in-bee-bee" on the audiobook). This is how I imagined Cyrah, still in her youth, astride her vahana, Gévaudan. I know I captured Cyrah's youth. I hope I also captured her bravery and unshakable determination. As for Gévaudan, I know I've depicted him as frightening, and a little gross, but I hope he also seems beautiful, in the way a tiger might be, if tigers were the size of Buffalo, a bit unhygenic, and waves of heat came off their hides and stream rose from their maws. I fear I have not yet figured out how to do justice to his plumes of orange and purple without obscuring his form so much I end up hitting "undo" and return to this wolfish bison with a warthog's tusks. The author is deliberately vague about all the magical creature's descriptions, giving us just enough to get our imagations scrambling to fill in the rest, our uncertainty about their exact form adding to our fascination for them.

Had a lot of snow in NY today. Wish I had a snow day but sadly I had to go to my psych class. However, while I was in that’s class I received an email that my Woman in Literature class was cancelled. So yay! Also tomorrow is my birthday. I also want to read this book. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booklove #bookworm #reader #booklove #bookporn #bookphoto #ireadya #bookish #bookblogger #booksandflowers #booklove #coverlove #lovebooks #bookobsessed #thedevourers #indradas (at Upper East Side)
