enthusiastic about goth lit, moths, weird things, crying all kinds of tears, and glitter

I don't understand how everyone seems to agree that if some media is old then you're wierd for avoiding spoilers. What? Sorry I wasn't conceived when that was published but I'd really rather experience the story as intended idk.

Intelligent alien species based on bugs but specifically those moths that don’t have mouths and only live for a week after they pupate. This species’ whole conscious life is actually in the larval phase; larvae are the ones considered people, larvae are the ones with conscious and complex brains who build society, and each instar of the larva is treated as a different phase of life. Larvae become emotionally and socially and cognitively mature without ever becoming sexually mature. When they pupate, they metamorphose into something different and strange and close to mindless, with no mouth and no digestive system, whose only instincts are to mate and then quickly die. Metamorphosis is treated, functionally, like a person’s death, and the imago phase is a kind of proto-afterlife of majestic flight and the continuation of the species. Birth and death inextricably intertwined. Sex is not something people do during their lives, it’s a thing that is done as an imago after you’ve passed on from your life but before you return to the soil in death. Resultant eggs are collected by family members to raise. I think this would be fun.

This is one of the funniest scenes in gothic literature and the fact that this is verbatim from the novel is incredibly underrated.

i try not to yuck people's yums but one thing i do hate about "bookblr" is whenever i'm like... oh that was a really good book i just read, wonder if anyone else on this site is talking about it. and then i search for it, and unless it's WILDLY popular basically 90% of the posts will just be #aesthetic #darkacademia #lightacademia #softacademia #tbr #studysthetics photographs of the book closed to show off the cover design against a backdrop of houseplants and rainy windows or artfully rumpled bedsheets with a cup of coffee you KNOW just tastes like milk. and 5% irrelevant posts that came up in the search function bc they used some of the words that are in the book's title and maybe, MAYBE 5% people actually talking about the book. honestly, no, 5% sounds too high in my experience.

OR if it's a book by a marginalized author, you'll see lots of posts about "LIST OF BOOKS BY [marginalized group] AUTHORS THAT YOU SHOULD BE READING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW" and still no one actually talking about the book.

i think transfems should be allowed to be good at sports.

sometimes a trans woman wins against a cis woman. sometimes a cis woman wins against another cis woman too. yet only one of them is allowed to win without facing consequences.

it's not enough to support transfems in sports if your support hinges on us being bad at them.
