@spacetreasured anyway, all of which is to say: yes, i agree, kill the baby in it's cribPermalink Look on archive.org

@spacetreasured i think there's something about... even if you know it's the wrong attitude to have, being public and open about the fact that you have the wrong attitude & you're trying to have a different one can be more constructive than swallowing the difference.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@spacetreasured like, it's a good sign for me if someone says "hm, sorry, i'm taking a bit of a while to consider that idea because i'm feeling defensive of my baby [alternative]". much better than being the same amount of defensive but denying it.Permalink Look on archive.org

@notquitereal we did a book club discussion on it (in @come_home_dad's Discord) - one thing that's kind of interesting is how it turns the idea of the portal fantasy inside out. the fantastic and strange place through the portal is the normal world.Permalink Look on archive.org

@notquitereal @come_home_dad thinking about, like, a book in the Chrestomanci series, with all it's long setting up of this mean aunt, and what the playroom looks like, and how he obtains the brass coin he needs to give to a mermaid, and brief sketched glimpses of tropical isles /elsewhere/.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@notquitereal @come_home_dad but the mundane setup is in this fantastic Halls of statues and tides, and the glimpse is of policemen and drawing rooms. and still the same thing, actually, as the Chrestomanci books - as a reader you're always slightly ahead of the protag, wishing for him to be less trusting.Permalink Look on archive.org

still angry that the government threw up their hands at the idea of eliminating the virus early on. but there's a lot to be angry about. if we "just have to live with it" then why not start actively adapting to that new situation? rn we are just hoping we can start ignoring it.Permalink Look on archive.org
