Checking again Tanith Lee's Red as Blood, and I am still so very pissed off that nowadays we get this fuckin' insult of a "modern cover" plastered everywhere

This, my good sirs and ladies, is the very definition of a bad cover in every way possible.

[hiimcute2003]

right? the original covers are so beautiful and actually are representative of the content inside😭😭😭

it never fails to drive me crazy that hollywood has supposedly churned out tons of "anti vietnam war films" but none of them ever have any vietnamese characters who are allowed to speak. and then you can turn on a ww2 movie and the germans get to talk and talk and talk!

"only 90s kids will remember-" shut the fuck up, some of us thifted everything and had parents who didn't throw out perfectly good tech just because new stuff came out

having an actor crush is horrible because it will make you watch some of the worst movies ever made

"It's [writing] a very powerful feeling. It's like being a little god, manipulating a small world. You are furnishing the houses. You are making the whole milieu and giving life to the characters. And you can wipe them out—and sometimes, after they die, I bring them back to life, not supernaturally but through believable things. How many people can do that? I like that feeling, because I can live so many other lives. I have an uncle who came and said, 'What do you write about, the things that you miss in your life? Things you can fulfill in your books?' And I said no, because a lot of the things that happen in my books, I wouldn't want to have happen to me. But I enjoy the awful things, because they are kind of fun."
