I would love some short story recommendations!

And I would be happy to give them to you! (Apologies for the slight delay!) These are all going to be sf/f because that's just how I roll...

I continue to stand by everything I said in this post a little while back in which I was asked a similar question, but here are a few others I’ve read more recently and have been thinking loads about:

Abstraction Is When I Design Giant Death Creatures And Attraction Is When I Do It For You by Claire Jia-Wen: Pacific Rim a little to the left, and by the left I do mean, the sinister side. A masterwork of toxic yuri. I am truly obsessed with this piece’s protagonist :) She’s so fucked-up. It’s awesome

Remember Me in the Meat by Sarah Pauling: Speaking of toxic yuri vibes and fucked-up relationships… This is one of those pieces it’s best not to say too much about ahead of time because loads of the impact depends on the rate and timing of the reveal on the crucial pieces of background information. It’s a little more plot-y than I tend to go for in short fiction, but it just pulls you right along the whole time. Lots of fun, will also hopefully leave you feeling slimy

A Wolf in Iceland Is the Child of a Lie by Sonya Taaffe: Really you can’t go wrong with Sonya Taaffe generally speaking, especially if you’re also into poetry. But this piece in particular compels me… the language is beautiful; the imagery is so stark and harsh, and the whole piece is gorgeously enigmatic. Lends itself very well to rereads/continued chewing-on

Human Voices by Isabel J. Kim: In the post I linked to up at the top I recced a bunch of other Isabel J. Kim already, but this is a newer one of hers I particularly enjoyed and want to call out as well. Messy families and responsibilities you never asked for and the siren song of abdication-damn-the-consequences… Again, you can’t go wrong with IJK either; I’d happily recommend any of her work (including also her debut novel Sublimation, out next month!)

(Going to tag @acquired-elfroot here who also mentioned wanting recs in the notes of the post that prompted this! Hope that's okay)

#thanks for asking! and let me know if you do read and enjoy any of these #i'm always happy to talk about sff short fiction... it's on the cusp of a renaissance. i can feel it. i'm going to do my part to make it #happen.#caseyposting #book recommendations #<- close enough

oh btw guys my family decided yesterday that we're going to Japan for summer break!!! none of us know japanese tho so uh

#bug buzz #yes #decisions like this do just.#happen.#in our household #we go #“where do we want to go for spring break”#“uhh japan”#“k thatll have to be summer break qith the time change and everything but aight”#guys am i spoiled #my parents take us a lot of places #ive probably been to over 25 states and ive been in 4 countries total #my family is like slightly upper class but i think we use the upper class money on vacation

i think what really encapsulates my feelings on drag-on dragoon as a whole is the music. cuz like. its bad. like it sucks. the music really pushes the already bad gameplay into being almost unbearable, with its repetitive droning and harsh sounds making the game feel so bad to play and to exist in

and with most bad OSTs, or most bad aspects of anything in general, its easy to just go "oh, they didn't know what they were doing. " it was an oversight, or a mistake, or just one really unfortunate decision made at one very unfortunate time in development. but i don't feel that way about drakengard's ost.

its intentional. because. there's no way it isn't. right. its soundtrack has too consistent of an identity, its too immediately recognizable as the drakengard ost to be the result of incompetence, or laziness, or just an unfortunate decision. its supposed to be like that. a group of talented artists got together and all agreed that the *entire game* needed to sound like that.

i think that's why the game is living in my head rent-free. ive never played a game where i truly genuinely believed some of its aspects were designed to be bad on purpose. and that's like breaking my brain. because who does that. to what end. who the fuck is yoko taro

#i know its dumb to assign responsibility for a collaborative piece of art to one person btw #but yoko taro is the most infamous figure from this dev team for a reason i assume #and anyways. the entire dragonsphere team was probably in whatever sick joke made this game Hakeem #happen.#the tldr is that this aspect of the game seems to be bad on purpose and im struggling to come to terms what that might mean #about the rest of the game #also im only up to ending B. do not spoil shit for me

I was surprised to hear you talk one breaking in your hand felt, after what you told us. I don't know whether it was it was something that happened while you were the Authority, or before, and I don't want to assume. Just. After the way you described it, I wasn't expecting to hear that it was something you had first hand experience with.

Oh.

That's... it...

It's how I disposed of Saturel. So. Before. Very, very long before.
