Terrible at working this place, but I’m back next March with a book that’s been quite interesting to do. It’s been fun to compile and comment on the works of the fab Al “Ally” O’Nim.

Some fine prose, poetry & even a unfinished script excerpt from such a fine under-appreciated artist. (Practically unheard of, how terrible is that?!)

It’s called Limerence - and hopefully, though it’s a different way of experiencing my creative pursuits, it’ll be of interest to you all!

alrighty so

Bridgerton, Strictly, and James Bond all mentioned, adding onto Davina McCall, Star Trek

“Cushy”, “okay”, “TV” all interesting words to Emily, adding onto foundled, spoor, smelt, chapping

The vitamin string quartet-ass covers of pop songs really fucking with whether we’re supposed to understand the music as diegetic or not, especially when we’ve been told there’s a tenuous distinction in The Devil’s Chord

direct references to an earlier character intro (Rogue paralleling Jack) just like I’m Space Babies (Ruby paralleling Rose)

aliens that are lured in by plot twists

also flashbacks to reveal previously unknowable information

it’s bringing up The Distancing Effect for me, being forcibly pulled out of the spectacle of something through uncanny elements and asked to reevaluate it. What happens when the characters in a tv show get dissociated from their show and have to reevaluate their existences? Who the fuck is Susan twist

this is to say nothing of Rogue’s reference to his “new boss”, harkening back to the Meep’s cryptic message…

Esquivalience??

[rowanthestrange]

So chaps how are we feeling?

chap (v.): "to crack open in fissures," mid-15c., chappen (intransitive) "to split, burst open in fissures;" "cause to split or crack" (transitive); perhaps a variant of choppen (see chop (v.), and compare strap/strop), or related to Middle Dutch kappen "to chop, cut," Danish kappe, Swedish kappa "to cut."

Dutch again @jayhartwinsterling
