Vallentzar - Things I've Discovered

just finished ninth house by leigh bardugo….and it knocked me out. there’s been a whole trend of feminist dystopia books lately (vox, red clocks, only ever yours, etc.) and something about them has always turned me off but i could never quite put my finger on it…now though i think i can say that all those books so severely sensationalize the horror done to women that the commentary almost falls flat because it’s so singular in tone. ninth house however is so focused on the worldbuilding of the occult that the politically minded messages don’t come through in the same heavy handed way they do in other books where the commentary is the plot and vice versa…because of that the themes in ninth house about women not being believed, poor girls especially poor immigrant girls being treated as disposable, boys/men  abusing power just because they can….these themes don’t feel like themes for the sake of themes they feel like the very natural effects of the plot…i don’t know if this is making sense but basically: 

ninth house feels like a book that was written about the occult but by nature of being a book about a young woman with her eyes open to the way others are mistreated it includes certain political commentaries whereas with feminist dystopian books oftentimes it seems like the plot was written to serve the commentary and the commentary itself was the original idea and those types of books tend to suffer for that

After a little bit of a wait, the NIGHT TIME RANDOM ENCOUNTERS table is done :)

As always, a few tables may seem a bit repetitive but again, it makes the system work and ensures that all the tools you need are in front of you :)

The next table is most likely going to be a bit more…aquatic in nature so keep an eye for that within the next week

If you have ANY idea, suggestion of feedback about this table or future works, i really do like to have your input!

Every now and then I mention something about the city of Brno to my american friends and it often causes much confusion/concern, so I wanna try to make a list summary of Everything Wrong With Brno

imma start

there is a place called Hell

there is a public transport stop called Crematorium, it is named after the nearby crematorium

it is oddly easy to take the wrong tram and accidentally end up at the Crematorium

the crematorium looks like this

Is this truly the future you wanted? 🦋

I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly
