loneliness

[initiala]

As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

[initiala]

This is who you’re having a meeting with, by the way.

Strategy to avoid thinking about the fact that you're completely by yourself again for the first time in months and you have four years of this left to go: find a label maker

AKA I was watching King of the Hill and thought this frame from the episode Keeping Up With Our Joneses would fit Grace pretty well

Armando wants to know about the Blip-A....

tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

[sloppity-bilepiper]

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

here's the intro

i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"

[cloudabserk]

i’ve talked about it before but their temperature differential would be perfect for cuddling

[koszmarnybudyn]

The hug.

[cowardgrace]

and the way grace overcomes his cowardice is so good because it still doesn’t come easily to him.

he sits and bawls thinking about the choice he has to make to go home or save rocky. i’ve seen people refer to this as him crying for rocky specifically, and in part, yeah, but he’s crying because he wants to survive and go home to statues and parades and to yell at stratt, and now that's not a simple choice. he is wrestling with the temptation to do it anyway and leave rocky, but he keeps involuntarily thinking about his friend and his ‘dumb carapace' and the whole planet of eridians who need him and it's dawning on him that he is going to choose to die.

when grace sees the blip-A again there's a moment after he celebrates where he suddenly feels heavy because he realizes if he hadn't been able to locate rocky, he would have gone home and survived after all. and he thinks, wow, i can't believe i tried so hard to find him.

this is him overcoming the weakest part of himself to make a choice he wouldn’t make before. a choice he’s not even being asked to make this time! and he made the brave choice while sobbing, wishing he could save himself too. it's a compelling contrast to a lot of stoic, noble, dignified depictions of self-sacrifice in fiction. it’s so good
