LESS movies about the lgbtq experience MORE movies about people who just happen to be lgbtq. is it really that hard to understand
I don't wanna see another story abt a teenage boy coming out to his parents and closed mouth kissing his boyfriend at prom where's my spy thriller action heist movie w a cast made entirely of dykes and femme gay men you know what I'm fucking talkinf about. I'm tired of The Queer Struggle I struggle every stupid day I know what that's all about and honestly none of the coming out stories are cathartic or whatever to me. I don't care. I wanna see a nonbinary person fight a dragon
So, sifting through The Books again for deep lore meant I, of course, got sidetracked so I want to mention something. I've heard some people (citations are for losers) warn others that HtN isn't as funny as GtN. I suppose I concede, but I also just lost my shit reading the passage about John trying to explain how the River works to the baby Lyctors. With Mercy growing more and more irritated at the fact that John JUST WONT USE A RIVER METAPHOR ITS RIGHT THERE as it gets more obtuse until he's talking about Cassiopeia's explanation ("Oh, no, the lava," said Mercy) and the unkillable man-eating magma fish. I know it's a long and important exposition sequence, but it's also fucking hilarious how it builds up.
And also one scene that only hit me a few pages after I read it was the part where Cytherea is chasing Harrow. She runs to her room, slams the door, puts up all the fancy blood wards, then props up a chair under the door handle for good measure.
Then Cyth completely ignores the wards and is thwarted by the chair jamming the handle. Seriously, such a tense scene and you're like, phew! Then, wait a fucking minute... No. This is rediculous. And it is. It's so silly, a word I would hesitate to describe most of the book and yet here we are.
Also Harrow’s banter with Ortus. Especially at the beginning:
“Lady, it is only to honour my father that I call myself a cavalier,” said Ortus. “It is for my mother’s pride and my House’s scarcity that I call myself a cavalier. I have none of a cavalier’s virtues.”
“I am not sure how many times I must relay to you how truly I am aware of that,” said Harrowhark, picking a tiny fragment of jet thread from her fingernail. “Given that it has constituted one hundred percent of our exchanges over the years, I can only assume you are coming to some new point, and begin to feel excitement.”
I asked my (23M, human) orc gf (25F, orc) to stop deadlifting my family members when she comes over for the holidays because it makes me looks small and weak, and now she and the rest of her clan keep forcing me to run laps and lift whole roasted hogs when I visit for orc holidays. AITA?
YTA. orcs like showing their affection through feats of strength. She wasn't trying to make you look weak, she was trying to show how strong your love was.
And you're also misreading their reaction. You were rude to ask her to stop, but her and her clan are very graciously addressing your concern about your lack of strength by taking on the task of training you.
