I need to be commended. I made the conscious choice not to start Old man’s war by John Scalzi,

I started Redshirts instead.

Me: the manga scene in my country is pretty stagnating rn. They keep republishing classics and that’s pretty much it, nothing really new. Well’ let’s see how the titles announced for December look.

“New Edition for the cult classic Tiger Mask!”

I watch constantly my writing friends struggle how to write gray, controversial or morally questionable characters that are still liked but not excused.

And then there is This Fucking Thing

Not me inhaling the first half and they discovering there is fucking time travel in this

Moooom I don’t want to read anymore

John Scalzi is a good guy (John Scalzi è un fra) and his plots and concepts are always spot on, but then the books are always very meta and derivative, and have all quite the same voice. They always feel like a piece of candy: quick and delightful, without any substance.

Now, what next. I think I’m in a mood for fantasy with heaps of creative worldbuilding but not necessarily high stakes.

The most infuriating thing is he’s not even my favourite ffs so why, WHY

Guys guys guys

One of the ways Nona ruined me is the sentence “the saddest girl in the whole entire world”, which now pops in my mind every time I see a particular flavor of depressed guy.
