Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[meraarts]

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

[eater-of-hopes-and-dreams]

The adventures of a space roomba

I love Andy Weir's books but this man is dumb as a bucket of rocks. Dude you have your characters turn to the reader and explain what the social commentary of the book was. You know it's there because you include the sparknotes in the story itself. What the fuck are you talking about.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This is the real actual ending of The Martian.

This is in the last chapter of Artemis.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This man does not know what the words "politics" or "social commentary" mean.

[ashr202]

Dude is extremely good at exactly one thing and that is extremely well researched near future hard scifi and is somewhere between mediocre and dogshit at basically everything else

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#what's crazy is that project hail mary is SO FUCKING POLITICAL#he names Rocky's partner a male name#he talks about global warming and mass extinction#he discusses the demolition of the biggest desert on the planet#talks about heterosexuality and war and famine#he doesn't have a clue what politics is which is crazy because he puts it in everything he writes

Mostly true but, as a small point of correction, Adrian is named after Adrian Pennino.

Adrian is Rocky Balboa's love interest, and later wife, in the Rocky movies. She is a woman. Ryland named an alien Rocky because they looked like they were made of rocks, and when he had to come up with a name for their spouse, named them after Rocky's spouse.

[atrusofmyst]

It's still hilarious that Weir chose a name that is gender-neutral but also historically mostly used by men for the partner of his human-gender-does-not-apply rock engineer and apparently didn't mean a thing by it. Dude does a simple Rocky Balboa joke and unintentionally becomes a pro-trans pro-equal marriage supporter.

Which, along with everything above, brings me to think that Andy Weir has that quirk that I have seen in many white-cis-straight Americans (not only among them, of course, but it's very prominent in those whose life has not been Political by default) where they believe that social issues and politics are two completely separate, non-overlapping things: one has to do with Real People Issues, and the other has to do with parties and politicians and who gets to have a seat in the House.

Under that worldview, you can justify just about anything as non-political as long as you don't explicitly mention the left or the right, even when the subject matter you're writing about (like, I dunno, the whole world working together and handing the reins to scientists to solve a problem, and two completely alien people figuring out how to talk to each other and form a bond of friendship and (almost) giving their life to save each other's species) is extremely political for anyone who has eyes to see.

[liarsblade]

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

❗️Great Hog is displeased by this.

The kingly pig looks taken aback by this statement. "You claim to be 'baiting' our kind?.. A master of it, no less - after all the trust we hsve placed in you?"

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I joined a Discord server with my current Slinky Dog profile picture. I was immediately kicked because the server members were disturbed by the fact that the character in my pfp "didn't canonically have a stomach."

[one-time-i-dreamt]

[valtsv]

if i was a prolific author i would constantly write romantic and sexual tension between two characters only to reveal that one of them was either dead and the other had been hallucinating them as alive and sleeping with their corpse for years, or that one of them had a previous lover who died whose rotting dessicated remains they had faithfully slept beside in bed since the event and saw no issue with when they revealed the situation to their prospective new partner. i would do this so often that it would become my signature and everyone would be sick of me for it.

[valtsv]

+ just for my own sick gratification i would write one singular work where no dead body was ever mentioned, but everyone who was already familiar with my track record would be desperately searching for any sign of it decaying beneath the floorboards (subtext), thus falling into my trap by seeing the skull beneath the skin without me having to say a word.

and yet

[twinkiefairy]

I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET
