thoughts on estraven's death: the image of the grieving mother. Genly holding estraven is a callback to the Pietà and other similar works of women holding and weeping over a loved one. Amid all the other cultural references in LHOD, this one stands out to me. Genly is cast as a woman at the climax of the novel, a symbol of not only his changing attitudes but his changing gender identity as well.

Genly if he tried writing immediately upon arriving on Gethen

My craft PENETRATED the outer atmosphere and flew from the heavens in a SHAFT of light. I had landed on Gethen. Upon exiting the COCKpit I was greeted by a fisherman -- sorry, fisherperson. He - sorry, this person - asked me what the devil I thought I was doing. I was rock hard with confidence and alien intrigue. Even after reading the seminal -- I mean semen -- shit, formative -- work of the first Invesigators I cannot help but see this person as a man, then a damnable effeminate woman. His breasts jiggled violently and his cheeks clapped as he waddled up to me with the gait of having birthed 200 children.

i love repression i love religious guilt and by god above all else i love jealousy

step 1. get everyone in the world to want to fuck me

step 2. vow of celibacy

gethenians going into kemmer

a lot has been said about this incident but i think we should never forget the time a prominent hungarian anti-gay conservative politician was caught at a gay orgy in brussels that got busted because it was held against quarantine regulations, and he tried to escape the cops by climbing out of the window and down the drain pipe, with drugs in his backpack. i just think we should talk about this more.

Le Guin on Estraven's death

Small fantasy worldbuilding elements you might want to think about:

A currency that isn’t gold-standard/having gold be as valuable as tin

A currency that runs entirely on a perishable resource, like cocoa beans

A clock that isn’t 24-hours

More or less than four seasons/seasons other than the ones we know

Fantastical weather patterns like irregular cloud formations, iridescent rain

Multiple moons/no moon

Planetary rings

A northern lights effect, but near the equator

Roads that aren’t brown or grey/black, like San Juan’s blue bricks

Jewelry beyond precious gems and metals

Marriage signifiers other than wedding bands

The husband taking the wife's name / newlyweds inventing a new surname upon marriage

No concept of virginity or bastardry

More than 2 genders/no concept of gender

Monotheism, but not creationism

Gods that don’t look like people

Domesticated pets that aren’t re-skinned dogs and cats

Some normalized supernatural element that has nothing to do with the plot

Magical communication that isn’t Fantasy Zoom

“Books” that aren’t bound or scrolls

A nonverbal means of communicating, like sign language

A race of people who are obligate carnivores/ vegetarians/ vegans/ pescatarians (not religious, biological imperative)

I’ve done about half of these myself in one WIP or another and a little detail here or there goes a long way in reminding the audience that this isn’t Kansas anymore.

I keep thinking about this post, so I figured I would make one about some iconic Hungarian retro songs, because they are truly amazing:

-lemon flavoured bananas don't exist but if they did they would fucking suck (much like someone i know of)

-i have never seen a black person in my life but i'm a huge fan of Little Richard and his work

-this song is not a paid promotion of yoyos. anyway here is a brief history of the product and some of its benefits. it's really fun, you should try it!!

-there are many respectable careers a woman can have: kindergarten teacher, courtesan, police officer, bricklayer, terrorist... but it doesn't matter what she does in her professional life because i love and support her anyway<33

-new guy in the neighbourhood is so talented at making out that he has become a local celebrity of sorts

-you don't even realize how great it is when you aren't here (pls leave you are really annyoning)

-romanticizing socialism: i <3 my petrol lamp

-racecar go vroom vroom

-tbh if Europe (the continent) was a milf i would fuck her

reading tlhod in every language I know

well, my Portuguese is not that good (yet), but I'll try

not now tho, I'm reading stuff for school now🥲

ok so one of my Hungarian faves has released this new song today and their songs are always very spiritual and philosophical

so I was listening to it and I almost exploded because of this lyrics (translation mine and wonky)

Nothing is turning you

You are the wheel

And you are turning yourself

well. guess who came to mind
