I'm the hero of this story, don't need to be saved. [lemon | semi-hiatus | heated rivalry sideblog @thenormalest]

Marjane Satrapi, author of the excellent Persepolis, has died at age 56. Friends said she “died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life”.

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

“indeed, it seems that the Pacific Northwest (Twilight) is a common locale for finding vampires and werewolves at a high school” oh my god

Can't wait to run across this drama summarised in a three hour video essay

"The reason it's written this way, in these snippets of time, is because that's what they remember. Like, what do you remember about the day you were drafted? I remember standing next to Ilya. I remember the way he looked in that suit. I remember seeing him up there with his dad and wondering what is dad was like. And I remember not listening to my mom. And then, boom, what's the next thing you remember? I remember not being able to sleep and I went to the gym and there he was. Like, all of their memories - it's told in a language of memory, and sex is such a powerful part of the memory-scape of this thing." - Jacob Tierney

I've seen these images a billion times uncredited. This is the first time I've ever seen them linked to the actual magazine, which is awesome—it's the back cover of a 1991 issue of Sovetskoe Foto.

The magazine is all in Russian, and it's been a while since I've flexed that muscle, but from the credit/table of contents (on Pg. 3) it looks like this is the work of a photographer named Yuri Trifonov from his series Mirages. Now, Yuri Trifonov is also the name of a famous Russian poet, but he died well before this, so I don't think he's the photographer. Maybe this guy was named after him. But if anyone else wants to translate page 3, please feel free.
