“the algorithm only shows us _____” so stop looking at the algorithm. you don't need it. go to a thrift store and flip through some magazines from the 1980s. go read a random book that’s no longer in print on the internet archive. go to a museum and walk around until you see an artwork you don’t recognize. go get a cookbook from the library and make a recipe you've never tried. go listen to the radio. go talk to people in real life. go write a poem or a song and don't show anybody. go take a walk. you are not confined to your online content feed. you never have been!!!!!!!

Gideon is an unreliable narrator because she's so often looking in the wrong directions, sometimes lacks context to understand which things are important enough to pay more attention, and because she's a terrible terrible tsundere living in denial.

Harrow is an unreliable narrator because she's schizophrenic AND haunted AND lobotomized herself and also is prone to 99 layers of secrecy and cryptics at all times and also most of her story being filtered through Gideon doesn't help.

John is an unreliable narrator because he omits and obscures so much, is terrified of making himself truly vulnerable, and at least some of the time is also lying to himself. Of course not being a true PoV character so we never actually get in his head is also a big factor.

Nona is an unreliable narrator because she simply cannoooooot be bothered to give a shit about the main universe plot, oh my God, she has more important things to worry about, like her friends and family and all these cool dogs.

We all know these things but I've just realized what this also means is:

The most reliable narrator we've had at least in any of the novels, by merit of her only being the PoV character for one whole chapter and spending basically all of it either judging or pining, is Ianthe Tridentarius.

I love how all the notes are like "one of these is Just A Guy and the other one is a monster-fighting superhero with alien magic powers"

I think Steven would kill him but like. on accident. He’s not very used to fighting enemies that can’t recover from almost any wound. After, he would be left with the moral dilemma of whether he should bring him back to life though.

grounding tips for the stressed aspiring tyrant: acknowledge 5 people you can sway to your cause, 4 methods you can use to persuade them (2 violent, 2 nonviolent), 3 people in positions of moderate power you can manipulate and usurp in order to gain access to 2 powerful institutions to destroy, and 1 foundational lie

[polari]

people are starting to character tag so i’d like to state upfront that this is part of a new branch of pop feminism i’m pioneering called despotette and as such is specifically advice for women trying to break into the world of tyranny, so if you must character tag it’s really only appropriate to do so if the character is a woman, thank you

the final scene in the drama, when charlie "lies" to emma about his broken nose is actually deeply indicative of his character. he will not admit to things he did—he cheated on her and had no plans of telling her and humiliated her on a public capacity on her wedding day. the whole movie, he expects her to explain, justify and account for events that did not actually take place, while he cannot even bring himself to admit to what she knows he has done, and he barely takes any steps towards addressing the shit he actually did.

[tris-morreu]

something really cool about the drama also is that while we, as an audience, have access to emma's interiority, memories and anxieties, charlie does not. emma never has to articulate to us why she considered going through with her plan and why she ultimately chose not to. we can see exactly how she reacted to being confronted with the consequences of the kind of harm she wanted to inflict on others and the steps she took to prevent herself and others from enacting that harm. i don't think she would've been unable to explain it, but i find it crucial that we see it instead of hear it, because it dispells any indication that she is not genuine, and it impresses on us what her motivations were and what factors dissuaded her. charlie, however, does not have access to her memories and interiority the same way we do and would have to investigate and interpret her framing and narrative of that moment.

and, because charlie's portrayed as being functionally emotionally illiterate, the gaps emma leaves are filled with his own assumptions and bad faith, oversimplified interpretations of her actions. he can't, but also won't, do the interpretive work that emma cannot do for him.
