I won't judge what Keefe is reading. I really couldn't care less about his fanfiction preference.

As long as it's not distracting him from important things, like his legacy.

SJM + Eugenics + Ableism in her Writing

thinking about how insidious eugenics can come up in writing- specifically SJMs writing. Personally I take a lot with a grain of salt bec I don't think a lot of ppl realize how fucking deeply entrenched and rooted it is in everything and more often than not its not intentional

and to an extent I don't think it was intentional by SJM. she does have a degree of plausible deniability in her story telling

however that being said:

the Cauldron "pairing mates" has allusions to being a breeding program of some kind of supernatural predestined idiocy. Sam + Melissa on Tiktok have some pretty great videos on it

However, while they think that SJM is providing commentary on the matter, I do have a different view, not that I really disagree with what they're saying

SJM has a track record of using disabilities as an aesthetic for her characters. It's often a point of suffering and/or there ends up being a magical fix (yay fantasy eugenics providing miracle cures!!! /sarcasm)

Chaol, severely injured with a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed goes to the super special healing place to have the world's bestest healers where the magical healing trope + black girl magic collide. He spends the whole book, a duration of only six months, regaining the ability to walk, with a cane most days. Chaol spends a large part of the book feeling sorry for himself and immasculting himself. Yerene, a professional trained healer who helps him with PT snaps at him in frustration to "just get up" when he's being difficult with her Note: some of these detailed may be incorrectly remembered + I never finished the book bec I can't stand him

Lucien: he gets his eye ripped out and is literally blinded but now he has a magical eye that is even better and can sense magic and spells and all that good shit

Rhys: chronic pain; never addressed

Azriel: scarred hands and wings, but so far we've seen no real struggle or accommodation of any kind or even a real discussion on how he had to learn how to fly at an older age due to his captivity and scarred wings

Cassian: his wings were beyond shredded but between books they got fixed up right as rain. it would have been fantastic rep for this decorated veteran and leader to be disabled, esp for a culture of warriors where flying is so crucial + where thr women are also forceably mutilated and can't fly either

speaking of the illyrian women

the Illyrian Women: not being able to fly and use their limbs is a disability. We have seen zero repercussions of Emeries father (and brother(?)) for disabling and mutilating his daughter

the mental health crisis of NESTA for ONE. in both the Fandom and in the series the grating toxic positivity and lack of patience and understanding and support and willingness to meet her halfway enraged me holy shit. The tone policing, the lack of autonomy, the unaddressed childhood trauma that has made Nesta the core of who she was. it was vile and disgusting

Aelin: quite frankly should have difficulty moving as fluidly as she does. she was whipped to ribbons and beaten bloody. Her back should be full of chronic pain and difficulty

Elide: as far as I'm aware Elide isn't too bad and she's incredibly intelligent and resourceful but it's been a hot minute since I've read the series. I do remember when they talked about it at the end about possibilities to heal her ankle (they couldn't)

I haven't read CC yet but I heard that LIMBS CAN GROW BACK???? sure let's just completely erase and magically fix imputations I guess?

I find it a lit harder to forgive "accidental eugenics" when her disabled characters disabilities are either made into Aesthetics, not properly addressed, or just healed all together

and when you pair magical eugenics + aesthetics:

You get Rhysand, the most powerful high lord of ever that you just have to keep being told is the most powerful high lord ever due to his parents being mates that his father whisked away from moments before she became mutilated like all the other Illyrian Women at 18 years old to a 900 year old man

you get his entire IC who is made of The Night Courts super special powerful clique who now happen to be the most powerful illyrian EVERRRR (Cassian + Azriel), Amren who was some trapped angel of death or something and Mor who is just so super powerful a mountain quaked or something when she was born

the entire IC is a concentrated powerhouse who also uses a specific mindset of "might is right"-

-and have forced others hands across the entire series or just outright lied and stole. also trespassing and routinely breaking laws but hey

Rowan, Aelin, Aedion, Dorian, Manon are all ToG Powerhouses. Rowan is described as the "most powerful full blooded fae male alive". there's an implication that human blood "weakens" fae traits and magical abilities [this is rather common in a lot of fantasy books]

every single character in this series is seen as some sort of extraordinary person with some sort of extraordinary power or ability aside from maybe a few. Hell Chaol, the only fully human character with no powers is the "Captian of the Guard" which he got bec he's a nepo baby from being Dorians friend. He gets disabled and they immediately go to get him fixed

I thought yall would appreciate

[milo-igidk]

[readingdreamingscheming]

[readingdreamingscheming]

NEW POSTER WITH RIPTIDE HEY HI HELLO

[lucyshypemaster]

one thing you'll never catch me doing is hating on sophie for the way she acted towards oralie. this girl is quite literally the most patient character I've ever seen. it took her like, 8 books to finally snap for a GOOD reason. she had to live for years in the lost cities without knowing who's her biological parents and when she did find out? turns out the person was right infront of her face the whole time.

and now, it's not like she can go around telling people that oralie is her mother because oralie is a councillor and with this news hitting the council and the elven world, it'll cause mayhem- mayhem that's perfect for the neverseen to just swoop in and take everything. oralie's reputation will be ruined. sophie HAS to stay unmatchable for the rest of her life and forkle has the AUDACITY to tell her to wait for a few more hundred years.

nahhhh sophie is incredibly patient. if I was her, I would've already lost my mind after the events in everblaze. my sanity would've been held together by spit and gum just like keefe in neverseen fr

Keefe and Sophie basically

It’ll be even worse now that they’re a couple

[readingdreamingscheming]

ID: two cartoon people wearing child leashes and holding each other’s child leashes. They also have the classic scheming look on their faces with eyebrows that point down toward the center of the face and a smiling mouth. Their legs are bent into crab walk stances (out to their sides), and their arms are out to their sides with their elbows bent so their fists point at the ground.

Them now that they’re dating

Transcript of a transmission sent by an undercover Black Swan operative infiltrating Neverseen headquarters as a double agent:

The Neverseen has a lot of roombas. It’s so many roombas. When I say “a lot”, you’re probably picturing 5, maybe 10 roombas, but it’s way more than that. I don’t even know the exact number. I tried to count them once, but there were just too many. They’re everywhere.

And they’re treated like pets. They’ll bump against a Neverseen member’s ankle and the member will pick them up like a cat and give them a little kiss. At their weekly movie night, they gather up all the roombas and tuck them under little blankets so they can watch the movie. One of the Neverseen members they call “Alvar” (pronounced the same way as the eldest Vacker son’s name, though this man is clearly far too undignified and flamboyant to be a Vacker) sleeps with one he calls “Hal 9000” (Hal is a human name, but I don’t understand the “9000” part) placed at the foot of his bed each night. It’s terrifying.

I don’t think they’re ordinary roombas either. Normal roombas wander around aimlessly, but these ones move with a sense of purpose. When you enter a room, all the roombas stop what they’re doing and move towards you. I’m starting to suspect that they’re partially sentient.

And they’re armed! The Neverseen members strap knives to them. I narrowly escaped having my achilles tendon slashed by a roomba they refer to as “Ultron” (I haven’t verified the spelling- I’m not familiar with the name). And I’m pretty sure I saw a roomba with a crossbow the other day.

Avoid them at all costs.

I have to go now. I think one of the roomba swarms is watching me. I’ll resume my report later. 

This was the last transmission ever received from the operative. We advise all Black Swan members to heed their advice. Do not engage with any roombas spotted while on missions.
