something something they're the same image something something (i'm still insane about them)

One time I was reading a fantasy book where it was explicitly stated that the lady dragons were bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than the men and then it subsequently delivered on zero (0) huge strong ripped aggressive dragon ladies. Suffice to say I really, really needed Apparently Sir Cameron Needs To Die to deliver on this and it did.

[pangur-and-grim]

I'm not......worried, but I am anticipating a reaction. because if the double amputation scene in Sir Cameron was too much for some people, then chapter 5 of The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo is definitely going to be a mass filtering event. that's when the cannibal incest spiders get introduced, and they uh.....do some stuff that you can probably guess at based on what I call them.

[pangur-and-grim]

there's simply no way that could happen.

[pangur-and-grim]

The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo is about an alien brain slug who gets hit by a truck midway through overtaking the Canadian government. he is isekaid into a fantasy land and tasked with killing the demon king. fairly straight forward, you’d think, except that the castle he wakes up in has something surprising chained up in its pantry: a spider centaur with girthy pedipalps and a glistening carapace. instantly, the slug is smitten! and following that is OPEN DOOR EXTREMELY EXPLICIT anal penetration.

so, it’s basically your average romantasy :)

@pangur-and-grim I like when it hurts :)

Just curious due to the ask you just answered, but you mention you had to add "more romance" at least twice the process of getting published.

How do you feel about the current, published version of the book? Is the book better for it, or do you feel as though the extra romance detracts from your original vision?

I find it interesting there still wasn't enough of it after the first time you edited, and they asked for more again.

I think all the editing notes I got were good!

they definitely wanted me to play Sir Cameron up as a romance, but I'm not anti-romance, so I was happy to make those changes. the only problem was that all the romance books I'd read were written prior to 2010 (Emily Giffin, Sophie Kinsella, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, etc) and conventions have shifted since, so my lack of familiarity with modern romantasy had me making choices that accidentally blue-balled people.

I have since fixed this!! I've read Sarah J. Maas! and also a bunch of denmei for good measure. and in my upcoming book, The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo, there is no fade to black, no matter how much you might wish for it. full pedipalp and carapace action, I swear to you.

My new pet peeve is people completely misunderstanding the term Male Gaze and making the term female gaze based entirely on that misunderstanding

[goldcrescent]

the white boy of the month pushing his hair back and reading poetry for the camera is not the equivalent of the dehumanization of women in visual media by way of presenting them primarily as vessels for sexual gratification

[spicyvampire]

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

Apologies for getting #deep on a silly!post but this is literally the same taste of misogyny as what fans women are facing right now, women have always been policed for excelling and trans women even more so

Orcas filmed ramming one of the world's heaviest fish so hard it explodes, possibly for fun

Orcas are known to be smart and ruthless hunters. They've been observed hunting a variety of prey, with some species, such as whales, larger

[marxistlesbianist]

Yup

[staranos]

That's absolutely insane.

[preludeinz]

Nature red in tooth and claw ain't seen nothing yet

[basuralindo]

In case anyone was bothered by the idea of them torturing the fish, it was already dead.

“Of course we’re in love, that’s why i tried to shoot you” “if you really loved me you wouldn’t have missed” is such a raw ass line you would think it comes from Goncharov (1973) and you would be right

[dittography-direwolf]

Totally normal for a legitimate for-profit company to refuse to reclaim or stop running their products even after they're no longer being paid to do so. I'm sure it's very normal to just keep running your service for free when your contract's been terminated. Spending money to continue running cameras that supposedly no one is looking at is definitely not an indicator they are just run by the federal government to spy on everyone and only a wacko conspiracy theorist would think so.

[iamnmbr3]

Not to start discourse but I will be forever mad that every time I go into the Goncharov tag I see people complaining that they watched the movie expecting a soft queer romcom about pure cinnamon rolls and instead they got a complex and violent film about deeply flawed people where everyone dies.

By all means, engage in fandom however you choose. But don’t blame the source material for not being consistent with some random fanon on tumblr. Kinda wild to get mad that the movie about violent, morally dark grey criminals has violence, crime and moral greyness in it. You know? Also, imho given the time this movie was made, the queer coding was daring; this is NOT an example of queerbaiting.

[whereserpentswalk]

People will call something queer baiting when it's literally a single movie that predates online fandom.

[onemagpie]

Au where Goncharov and Andrey survive everything, grow old together and sit on a street all day somewhere in the south of Europe

[sunflowerinanoldshoe]

This is my favorite Goncharov post so far because:

1. The concept of an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE for a movie that DOESN'T EXIST is sending me into another dimension.

2. Despite appearing nonsensical, we of course are living in a world where the established Canon of Goncharov is that they do not survive everything and grow old together.

3. Of fucking course Tumblr would imagine a movie with two characters with intense homoerotic subtext, kill them violently with their love unfulfilled, and THEN create AU FAN ART WHERE THE LOVE IS FULFILLED.

And all of it fucking slaps I love this so much

[onemagpie]

Thank you for the great addition! I’m so glad that people get my joke hehe

[fag-made-of-stardust]

Saw this at an art museum plaque a couple weeks ago and literally went omg it’s fuckin Goncharov to my sister and she said do you mean Gorbachev and I said no I mean the fake gay movie I tried to convince you was real a couple years ago and she said uh ok
