Nevermoor series timeline!

Nevermoor series (nearly) complete timeline

Nevermoor series (nearly) complete timeline Book Age Year Season More specific Event Pre- Nevermoor Age of Thieves Swindleroads created

Still a work in progress and may have some gaps so feel free to comment on the document and I'll fix it if I see it.

This is mostly for mys3lf, because I kept getting confused about chronology and how long the books were and all that, but maybe it might help other people too.

some of y'all just want a book report on a nearly 3,000 year old story and some of us want to see a man's personal interpretation of one of the oldest written stories we still have even if it's flawed

i enjoyed the odyssey film for what it was but the people in the tags on this site are such nerds, fully crashing out because a myth wast told the exact same way it was told when it was originally written

gonna go watch the oddysey tmw :)

excited to sit in the very front row of the imax and stare up tom holland's nostrils the whole time or something

[pleasantearthquakemoon]

i was checking the classification with my siblings and it said it was r and we were freaking out a bit bcos my brother is lowkey 13 and in australia r18+ is legally only 18+ so we thought that was a bit of a doozy on my mum's part but then we realised that was the american classification and it's only m (recommended not for under 15 years but everyone over like 12 can watch m really, the next level up is ma15+ which is you have to be 15)

anyway cant wait to see what mild nudity or something bumps a totally acceptable but possibly very violent film up to 18+ in american eyes

you guys have a really weird tolerance for violence but not basic normal human things

whatever

[pleasantearthquakemoon]

yeah it was pretty good

idk a bit more violent than i expected but definitely not r

and i did spend the whole time gaping up at the ceiling at tom holland's nostrils lol

Jupiter North, born to be the slightly weird uncle that the kids love who disappears for long periods of time only to come back with crazy stories and little presents, but instead forced to be a present parent.

Former Weird Little Girls unite!

14/07/26

They didn't like your vibe

Im planning on a little series of drawings of unit 919, sorting em in trios and stuff

I really liked drawing their clothes, especially lam's and cadence's. I imagine Lam would like to use clothes that reminiscence her homeland fashion, although they are not quite the same thing:( i also imagine shr must feel nervous doing this afraid someone will clock that she's not actually from nevermoor but she just feel that homesick sometimes

[jackthebard]

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

[sourcedumal]

[shuttersmiley]

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

Got that?

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

[athenadark]

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

[thepsychicclam]

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Yahhh I have to build Rome. Yup it’s due tomorrow.. noo I haven’t started yet haha is that bad?

[hallowmasgirl]

I read the testaments last night and I couldn’t sleep til 4am after I read it. It was quite different to what I expected. The stakes didn’t feel as high as handmaid’s tale and the plot felt underwhelming. But I really liked maragaret atwood’s writing, her characters and the way she retained the found document structure and didn’t reveal offred’s name. I really liked reading the perspectives I just wish she explored the rot of gilead deeper and in a different way. It was a very interesting sequel to the first novel but i fear as always the prequel will always be better than the sequel here. Nonetheless it was alright. I don’t regret staying up late and I’m still struggling to process everything. Probably three stars?
