Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.

–Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Dungeon crawler Carl got me in a chokehold. I’ve been wanting therapy for figuring out how to grieve for my cat but turns out this book is definitely not therapy but kinda feels like it in a real fucked up way? I don’t know. I’m having a great time* though

*suffering immensely

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

One of the things that impressed me the most about Dungeon Crawler Carl (mind you, I went in with zero expectations) is that not only it manages to turn a talking cat into fully realized, complex character who is still unmistakably *a cat*, but also that the cental relationship of the series - this kind of strong, unshakable bond between the main characters that never fails to make you emotional over how much they mean for each other - is unmistakably a relationship between a man and a cat. Not just nominally, but in a way that is instantly recognizable for anyone who ever owned and loved a cat. And mind you, it's not for the lack of other relationships - Carl finds new friends and comrades, and each of them is important for him in their own right, but still THE most important person in his life is a cat and as a cat person I think that's beautiful

a lesson i learned this year is that a person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can face about themselves without running away

I didn’t complete inktober this year, but I sure did finish reading The Husky and his White Cat Shizun and let me tell you- the complex human relationships in this book. Dear god. My heart has been swept away. Also, let me just say, I love how bold Meatbun is, in a book reading climate where every character seems to have to be morally perfect anymore, she made a pretty much irredeemably bad villain(s) and I couldn’t be happier. I struggled with some of the SA stuff, but it’s also *wildly* complicated and that makes it just so damn fascinating to read. Mo Ran’s constant internal struggle feels so intense and real to me. -chefs kiss-

Meatbun really knows how to take the reader for a ride. I can’t wait to read Casefile Compendium and of course finish Husky when the last two books come out.

All that being said, I do think Remnants of Filth is still my favorite, but who knows, that could change. There was just this absolutely magnetic push and pull with Gu Mang and Mo Xi that had me losing my mind every other page. And the twists were more surprising and wild to me. The deaths more dramatic and the stakes felt higher. And I really like that in my danmei.

Gonna have a nice little Meatbun break and read Saye 3 and Legend of Exorcism 3 before diving into the almost certainly scalding hot waters of Casefile :)
