any fun facts about the glorious process of Foundation Repair?

The common copy of Asimov's Foundation has been read dozens if not hundreds of times due to it being one of the best sci-fi novels ever, so it may have a bent spine, torn pages and worse. Be sure to consult a book binder before attempting any repairs yourself. Do not attempt to restore any actual first editions, as their archival value will be partly dependent on their authenticity.

Asimov isn't great at writing characters, but I'll admit that the reveal about Arcadia in Second Foundation gut-punched me.

Current favourite niche genre of character: plucky teenage girl who appears nearish to the end of a space opera about a falling Empire, in which most of the preceding main characters are men in various degrees of brooding. Plucky Teenage Girl stows away on a spaceship with some Great Men, travels to some planets, makes some discoveries, generally serves as a representation of “regular people” and the power of curiosity and heart in her universe of crazy super powered movers and shakers. She ends up saving the day and contributing in some way to the formation of a new and more just regime. I think that all of these space girlies should hang out and share their stories. This community consists of:

- Arcadia Darell from the Foundation Trilogy

- Lyria of Lagalos from Red Rising

- Rey Starwars (before Episode IX)

- Probably more idk please contribute others

watched foundation so here are some thoughts:

- empire was boring until little deviant dawn showed up. i’m sorry i really didn’t give a shit about day prancing around with luminism and it bored me

- that being said i understand the significance of it for the story but just . not my favourite part

- salvor and hugo. oh my god. sexiest couple i’ve seen on tv in FOREVER i loved every moment of it

- gaal was so slay like i loved her sm i loved her story i loved her desperation i was wishing her to be back on screen every time she was off

- i think the thing with this tv show is that u think there’s a plot hole or smth gone wrong when in actuality it’s just another part of hari’s plan that hasn’t been explained yet and i quite liked that

- why was there so much galactic sex

- i loved phara but dying was def the right choice for her character

- i have to say i laughed when dawn jumped off the building and azura was just standing there like 🧍‍♀️

- my fave empire part was day calling dawn his son <3

- halima was amazing t’nia did an excellent job
