Fictional country: average fantasy

Fictional small town in the middle of nowhere in real country: par for the course in any genre

Fictional major city in real country: standard fair, but it's usually clearly based on a real city

Fictional suburb of real major city in real country: strange but I can see the application

Real major city in fictional country: Chicago can be anywhere you dream of

#what about real small town in fictional setting#woah what if we isekaied a whole town#isekai#surely someone's done that right

There's a book series called 1632 by Eric Flint where a town called Grantville, West Virginia (modeled nearly one-on-one to actual town Mannington, West Virginia, in the year 1999 when the book was written) gets suddenly transported into 1632 Germany and how the inhabitants deal with it.

This opens up a whole paradigm of new and strange fiction. New York City gets put in napoleonic France. Vancouver island gets put in prehistoric Italy. The Vatican gets put in the Roman republic. Chicago gets put in 1875 Chicago.

There's actually a lot of those, which I found out after searching this more. They're called ISOTs, after Island on the Sea of Time, where Nantucket Island got sent to the Bronze Age.

Honestly my takeaway from "It was raining!" is not that Lestat has a more accurate memory than Louis, but that he's a lot more further into denial that his memory is anything but perfect.

summerween aesthetics: spooky seaside

the vibe: there's something in the water, and the town won't close the beach.

i will personally never understand that thing people do when theyre like "i thought this was a good piece of art until i realised its fetish/pornographic" like why does art lose value if the artist was a little horny when they made it. why is that so scary. im sure a lot of the old masters were doing portraits of their lovers slightly bricked up & theyre still displayed in museums. why is sexual arousal not an acceptable source of inspiration when like every other emotion is. well i mean i know why sadly but i do not like it so i'll continue to complain about it

if michaelangelo can paint 644 cock and balls on the sistine chapel u can swallow a few close ups of feet or whatever

[headspace-hotel]

I must say it. some of those renaissance painters were pretty horny about Jesus.

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

It’s cause thanks to a combination of sex negativity and sexism, “this feels like fetish content” is considered more legitimate criticism than “this writer treats women as objects”.

What I really like abou Devon and Master Daki as a dynamic is that you can tell exactly what the Council was going for in their apprenticeship and where it went wrong. Master Daki is a very traditional Jedi but is sometimes too passive when action is needed. Devon has minor issues with pride and resentment. You put them together, and Devon could help Master Daki adjust to wartime while Master Daki could teach her humility and restraint.

Except that the entire Jedi Order fell down around their ears, they went deeper into their flaws out of trauma, and the things they were supposed to temper in each other became a wedge that drove them apart.

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

google help me

[beaft]

the thing is, stephen king is generally pretty good at creating complex, well-rounded characters, which makes it all the more jarring when one of those characters abruptly comes out with what i'll term a "kingism". i don't know how best to define a kingism other than "you'll know it when you see it". it's the voice of the author intruding on the voice of the character, and in this case the voice of the author has a bad sense of humour and is ravenously, inexplicably horny

[beaft]

random example of a kingism aka "he would not fucking say that"

[beaft]

this too is a kingism

[beaft]

one of the hallmarks of a kingism is that when a character is being Horny On Main (or In Maine), they can never do it in a normal way. they have to come up with a sequence of words that nobody has ever said before in the history of the english language. here's another example:

[isuggestrevolution]

this is my suggestion

[stfueveryone]

Fascists are cowards who depend on the power of rules to defend themselves while they attempt to terrorize others.

[glitchyvoxel]

The "rule of law" is a lie and a cruel joke and always has been. The law cannot rule, it is just a tool. The results of its use follow the character of its wielders.

[isuggestanarchism]

I have something to suggest

[apollosfallen]

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

[apollosfallen]

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).
