Sexuality in Emily Dickinson's Poems 14 & 764
Emily Dickinson, rather than constructing a singularly focused representation of sexuality, portrays a continuum of manifestations of sexual desire in her poetry. In ‘One Sister have I in our house, Poem 14’ and ‘My Life had stood – A Loaded Gun, Poem 764’ we can see these desires distinctly differ, not only by the poetic verse in which they are contained but by time and the gender of the subject…
Far Cry 5, but it’s 2025.
I started Far Cry 5 in 2020, when it was only 2 years old. But back then, I was such a terrible in-game driver that it ruined the experience. Also, you couldn’t bring the dog or the bear in the car. 0/10 stars. But as I mentioned in my last post about Far Cry 5, a lot has changed in how I play games. Spoilers for a 7-year-old game… Those Damn Seeds As we’ve come to expect in the Far Cry…
Abandoning my moral compass in Far Cry 5 - Morgan Can't Play Video Games...
The first time I played any game in the Far Cry series was while I was doing a Master’s thesis on post apocalyptic games from an ecocritical perspective. It was Far Cry: New Dawn and I found myself wracked with guilt every time I killed an animal. Even harvesting flowers was a nightmare as suddenly I was endangering the habitats of the hummingbirds and other pollinators who hovered around…

Replaying Some Distant Memory
Replaying Some Distant Memory
When I finished my thesis I really didn’t think I’d be revisiting Some Distant Memory (Galvanic Games 2019) any time in the near future. The story is captivating but it is quite linear. But when I realised how incomplete my notes were from my Masters I was forced to go back to the game before I finalised my paper for ASLE 2021. The game is a third person, post-apocalyptic adventure game. It…

My Podcast Problem ALC708 Assesment 1
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you will know that I’ll often post uni work that is relevant to the literature, podcasting and writing nonsense that you will often find here. This time my first assessment is a blog post. This blog post.
I was going to try not to do this assignment on podcasts, but it is basically all I do.

4 History Podcasts I listen to as soon as they come out!
I listen to a LOT of podcasts. I started with Serial as I think a lot of people did and it was the gateway drug into a full blown podcast problem. Lately, since we released our own podcast really, I’ve been exposed to a world of indie podcasts that I just wouldn’t have heard about otherwise. It’s really easy to get caught in a bit of a feedback loop, and for these podcasts to only reach audiences…

Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray has an esteemed place within the gothic literary canondespite the fact that Wilde may have adopted the tropes of the gothic genre as a kind of set dressing similar to the way that…

The Politics of Sex and Gender in Middlemarch, “The Goblin Market” and “A Castaway”
The Politics of Sex and Gender in Middlemarch, “The Goblin Market” and “A Castaway” By Morgan Pinder
Discourse regarding gender in Victorian literature has its foundation in an entrenched, and for the most part unchallenged binary. Coming out of the Georgian and Regency eras the societal expectations placed upon a woman were very clearly those of subservience and benignity, whereas the man was…

How do women writers in the late-eighteenth and nineteenth centuries use the essay form to interrogate the implications of progress for gender roles? By Morgan Mushroom
Women in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century began to utilize the persuasive power of the essay in order to put forward their ideas about what values and rights women should have. Whilst many women were beginning to write and philosophize outside of the domestic sphere, the persuasive writing of women gained an audience when utilizing topics relating to domesticity as a springboard for…

Damn Diane. Some thoughts. Some Spoilers.
Right still processing the final episodes of Twin Peaks and crunching all the Twin Peaks podcasts I can get my hands on.
Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed when Naido turned into Diane. I love Diane Evans as a potential character and I adore Laura Dern’s depiction of her, bit with the tulpa and all the trauma she’s been through I just feel like I never really got to know her. Maybe it…
