i don't doubt they would have leveraged tain hu to exercise control over baru, and above all baru wants to be untethered from these higher powers, so it's not that she gained nothing towards her aim. but that she carries out the execution as she does out of posturing for her new imperial coworkers / to give off an image of loveless detachment and not only does everyone see through it, but there is not a single response among her peers as she was gunning for. it utterly alienates the coworker that has commonality with her in this hostile world and who had previously been hopeful to bond with her over it. cairdine farrier is DELIGHTED. not even in the way that she would have wanted him to be in her ruse. he knows she loved tain hu. he doesn't want her to not be gay. he wants her to be gay and suffer the anguish of KILLING what she loves in order to prove that she can overcome her base instincts of being gay. he sees her actions as evidence corroborating his theory. she becomes another cog in his plan by it. you didn't even get what you wanted out of this, you can't help but think. you blew up everything for worse than nothing.
soooo, on a vacation trip a week ago, I stumbled over @xiranjayzhao's Iron Widow in a book shop in Copenhagen and devoured it last weekend. It was quite the fun read. (And I am not that inclined to mechs 😄 but the rage filled female power fantasy and the setting felt rather refreshing to me) And after finishing the book I had to get at least some art out of my system. As usual it didn't end up what I really intended it to be in my head initially, but also, as usual it has to suffice for now or I'll never post it.
im sure he’s at least close to the truth but the timing of this sent me flying
After constant.. endless.. recommendation, I finally read book 1 of The Raven Cycle. It arrived on Sunday, I finished it on Monday. To say that I am obsessed would be an understatement.
None of the bookstores near me sell the next three; I had to order them online. So now have to wait another month for them to arrive. One more month..
STOP this is the feminism checkpoint. you have to comment something you like about a flawed female character. or explode
put three f/f ships you like in the tags. doesnt matter how obscure or embarrassing the media, go for it. and no, your m/m ship doesnt count as women
