meeting with hospital staff and social worker this afternooon to decide what to do w my grandpa - there is maybe? a small chance he could come home? I'm not entirely sure, or maybe its a thing of like he could come home but his quality of life would be better in a dedicated home - idk yet

REGARDLESS -> god (yall) grant me patience to listen to the options and help my grandma make the best decision for her and her husband, while my uncle will be sitting there pushing for a home no matter what

I love Dragon Age and its lore dearly and I mean this in the gentlest way possible, but Dragon Age did not invent the concept of unreliable narrators nor is it the only video game franchise to deliver lore through them.

You are playing pretend on the internet. You are a weirdo. I am also a weirdo.

Thoughts on “The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms” (Book One of The Inheritance Trilogy) by N.K. Jemisin

It is a rare treat to encounter a tale that checks all of one’s ‘weirdo boxes’ so perfectly and systematically, but The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms manages to pull it off.

A lonely, alienated female protagonist who is doing her best and low-key failing because of family dysfunction and a resulting mass of existential angst with a fantastic twist? Check. Yeine is a delight, so furious, fucked up, and caring rolled into one glorious ball.

Gods and monsters who you aren’t so sure are friend or foe until nearly the end, and if we’re being honest, the answer is just kind of ‘yes’ most of the way? Check. A heaping helping of trans-humanism? Check. An unabashed deep dive into the inhuman lover trope? Hell yes, that’s a check. Good grief, that’s a very hot check that doesn’t feel the need to confine itself to a strictly human form or to the mortal coil, if you catch my drift. I need some ice for that one. But lest there be any doubts, the sexually charged parts aren’t there simply for their own sake--they’re very clearly part of the existential exploration and inner conflicts that are fundamental to these characters’ personal narratives. And for that, a story that goes some very dark places but not merely for the pornography of it? Check, absolutely. It goes there shamelessly and with purpose.

An unholy metric ton of palace intrigue that ends in the fall of a corrupt magical aristocracy that treats all the world and even itself as one big box of bloody, perverted playthings? Check! Thirst for vengeance all around that lends itself to apocalyptic implications? Check, check, and check.

I will be starting on the next book, The Broken Kingdoms, right away.
