So apparently the next Cormoran Strike Book is called The Running Grave, Norfolk supposedly plays a dominat role in it, and it seems to have to do with Strike’s childhood.

Let the speculations run wild, everyone!

(I’m still hoping that Leda’s death and whether it was murder and who killed her gets revisited in this series, and I’m holding on to that hope.)

#after the meh IBH I’m ready for a really good Strike book again #btw robert galbraith is a nice and queer old guy with a dog #who writes crime novels for fun #i insist on that headcanon #cormoran strike #the running grave

What's your definition of "good enough"

Men like my brother. He and his girlfriend began dating around 13 years ago. They bonded over their love of Harry Potter and the great outdoors. So they would climb mountains together and go on all kinds of wilderness adventures like that. They would do like 6 major wilderness adventures per year.

But about 7 years ago my brother got cancer. He recovered from cancer but now he has disabling post-cancer chronic illnesses. He really lost everything. He couldn't finish med school. He went from a marathon runner to someone who can barely go up a flight of stairs. And he definitely can't climb mountains or explore the great outdoors.

But his girlfriend still travels the world and goes on 6 major wilderness adventures per year. And my brother is always thrilled to share her adventures with us. He loves to talk about the wonderful things she does. These adventures are a part of his life that he painfully lost and can never experience again. But there isn't even a hint of jealousy or pain when he talks about her adventures. And this isn't just short-term kindness. He's been like this consistently the entire time.

"Good enough" means emotional maturity that would be impressive even if we didn't know someone's sex. It doesn't mean "good enough for a man." It means "good enough as a person." Maybe 50% of women could handle that much loss and come out the other side with kindness. But only a very rare man could do that.

But my sister-in-law scooped him up when he was just 20 and they've lived together for a decade now. So these rare men who are actually good people are never single.

#also they now read the cormoran strike novels together which is pretty cute

I'm still amused at how I clicked a suspected-terf profile the other day and their profile said their main fandoms were Harry Potter and Cormoran Strike.

You know, the crime novel series by "Robert Galbraith", the second pseudonym of J.K. Rowling.

That's like you were trying to dog-whistle but you accidentally picked up a vuvuzela.

[maxknightley]

Can you tell me why Harry Potter is particularly bad and egregious?

well for one thing its creator uses her cultural clout to endlessly scaremonger about Transgenderism and then whenever anyone calls her out on it she's like "what nooooo I love trans people I'm just Asking Questions. just Raising Concerns. about the rights of Real Wombyn." or she threatens them into silence using the UK's insane libel laws

everything from supplemental setting information to character names in her flagship series betray a view of the world that is - if not virulently racist - at the very least embarrassingly provincial. (the writing in her cormoran strike novels is even worse in this regard.) the less said about the house elves, a funny slave race who like being slaves actually and advocating for their rights is silly and wrongheaded, the better.

from what I recall she's also a member of the same ghoulish """""labor""""" party undercurrent that actively crushes any hope of meaningful reform within UK parliamentary politics.

but on a more personal and less political level: it's a children's fantasy series that was never really designed to have more depth than a children's fantasy series, and the constant attempts to make it an Ongoing Franchise are embarrassing at best and actively frustrating at worst. it's like if Willy Wonka got six sequels plus a spinoff about veruca salt plus a spinoff about grandpa joe plus three years of increasingly bizarre supplemental material and literally none of it reckoned with the uncomfortable colonial overtones of the oompa-loompas. at some point you would end up being sick of the whole goddamn thing, even the parts that weren't trash in and of themselves.

Enough about people ragging on HP. Peeps who wanna diss JKR's writing abilities should be ragging on her Robert Galbraith novels, because compared to those, HP is a magnificent epic of deathless prose. Every time I see people saying JKR is a middling writer with no talent, and they start pissing on HP? I'm just like, guys. That's the wrong series to be using as your example. You *should* be talking about how needlessly convoluted and hopelessly boring her detective novels are.

There were reasons for why HP was so successful, and things like whimsical world-building and intriguing plots (aimed at a tween audience) are often brought up as examples of what she's did *well*. You can dismiss JKR all you like, but she is good at *some* things. There's no reason to ignore her strengths as a writer just because we're all retroactively trying to find reasons to hate on her now.

On the other hand, she absolutely sucks at writing adult detective fiction. All her *actual* weaknesses are on full display there. Extreme wordiness, meandering plot, inability to edit out inconsequential scenes, sitcom-esque character development, weak interpersonal relationships, I could go on. She actually sidestepped most of these problems in HP due to some combination of beginner's luck, good editors, and more forgiving genre conventions. But the sad truth is that the Cormoran Strike series is way shittier than HP ever was, and anyone who wants to argue that she's an average writer should be talking about those books instead.

Hello can you kinda explain the whole JK rolling thing and why people hate on her a lot cuz i seen ppl do nothing but hate on her and call her transphobic and i'm so confused on it as to why

Hi! Sorry I let this ask go ignored for a little while, it's a big topic so I wanted to answer it once I have some free time; I went looking for a post that could summarize the situation but, Tumblr being what it is, I couldn't find any. So here is a quick timeline, as I remember it, as someone who was a TRA on Twitter while most of it unfolded:

in 2019, Jo followed Magdalen Berns on Twitter (I also believe she liked one of her tweets and that's how Twitter users found out she was following her). Berns was a gender critical lesbian and YouTuber who was one of the first critic of TRA misogyny.

At the time, Jo was much, much more liked than she is now, obviously. This event caused some drama, it trended for a while, but it was quickly brushed aside and things went on. In my spheres (TRA Twitter), it was seen as kind of a bad look to follow Jo on Twitter following this, but you still could get away with it.

Jo has since explained that she uses the 'like' feature on Twitter to archive things she finds interesting and wants to have a closer look at. Many believe that she probably got interested in Berns' content while writing one of the Cormoran Strike novels, a crime novel series that often explores the themes of male violence and misogyny.

in december of 2019, Jo made a tweet in support of Maya Forstater, who lost her job after misgendering a non binary colleague.

After this tweet, it became forbidden to follow her on Twitter if you were a TRA. Things got worse in June of 2020, when Jo reacted to an article talking about period poverty while referring to women as 'people who menstruate':

Right afterwards, she made a thread going more in details about how transactivism harms women and LGB people:

(I'm pretty sure there was another, longer thread but I can't find it)

After this, former HP actors like Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson accused her of transphobia, while other actors (namely Evanna Lynch and Robbie Coltrane) defended her. She got thousands and thousands of death and rape threats, was called sexist slurs, and was threatened with doxing.

A few weeks later, she published an essay on her website, explaining her views. It is a very well-written and insightful essay that I recommend to read:

And that's pretty much it. As you can see, her position is pretty tamed. She has never been rude to anyone, she just defended sex-based rights, lesbians' right not to sleep with men, and using language accordingly. She helped thousands of poor women with her charity work, funded a rape crisis center, uplifted Iranian women, supported LGB activists and helped a hundred Afghan women escape the Talibans, but because of a few Twitter threads she made, her entire political activism has been misconstructed and boiled down to "she is a fascist who hates trans people"

Neptune; five

Thunder boomed as rain splattered the windscreen in a torrent. They were seven hours into their stakeout and lightning had begun to split the sky, cracking through the black, lighting up the clouds holding the storm and the interior of the BMW. 

“That was close,” she said, turning to look at him with wide eyes. 

“Yeah. I doubt he’s going to go anywhere in this. We could probably call it a night.” He glanced at the windows of the house they’d been watching. Its windows remained dark.  

She started the car, the rumble of the engine barely audible over the pounding of the rain.

“You good to drive in this?” he asked. 

“You good to let me drive you in this?” she rejoined, a slight bite in her voice. 

“Yeah.”

She nodded and put the car in drive, pulling smoothly away from the kerb, windshield wipers slapping rhythmically. He watched her profile in the street lights. Lit and then shadowed, occasionally limned in blue from the frequent lightning strikes around them. 

There were circles under her eyes, as though she hadn’t been sleeping. But she’d just returned from a vacation. He knew she’d gone to Spain with DCI Murphy. His sister, he’d overheard her telling Pat, lived in San Sebastian. “They’re very close and he wants to take me to meet her.”

He’d practically drowned in the beer and whiskey he’d drunk that night.

And the night she’d left.

[sailor-rowling]

There is a scene in JK Rowling’s new detective novel in which members of a religious cult surround a new recruit, screaming abuse. They call her a selfish bitch, hurling misogynist slurs until she collapses in tears. It’s designed to break down defences, but what her tormentors don’t know is that their victim is an undercover private detective. Robin Ellacott has been hired to investigate the cult by the father of an autistic young man who hasn’t heard from his son for four years.

Ellacott is a partner in the detective agency founded by Cormoran Strike, a veteran who lost part of a leg in Afghanistan. The Strike novels, written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, are bestsellers and often seem to mirror preoccupations in Rowling’s own life. The abuse scene in the latest novel is a reminder of the torrents of invective aimed at Rowling since she took a stand in support of women’s rights.

Yet this series reveals something else about Rowling, namely her extraordinary resilience. Three years ago, when she published her magnum opus Troubled Blood, she was wrongly accused of making the murderer transgender — and the menacing hashtag “RIP JK Rowling” began to trend on social media. She has faced vicious abuse, including graphic threats of death and sexual violence, and her address has been published on social media.

Some authors would have found it hard to bear, to the point of withdrawing from the public world for a while. While it is true that Rowling has the protections offered by wealth and status, it is striking that the attacks have not had a limiting effect on her imagination. On the contrary, they seem to have stimulated her creative powers, encouraging her to ask questions about contemporary phenomena such as the misogynist world of online gaming.

Misogyny has always existed, but Rowling understands its modern guises better than most — and the belief systems that allow it to flourish.

The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith review — a strike against misogyny

RULES:

All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls

Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!

We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.

We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.

I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)

This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

it's been so long since the last Cormoran Strike novel... when is the next one gonna drop.. not even a hint.... Joanne I'm starving..

#cormoran strike #cb strike

[helenstella]

I finished The Ink Black Heart and now I’m distraught that there are no more Cormoran Strike books to read until the next one is released. 😭😭😭

I came to them late, compared to a lot of fans, and had seen the TV versions of all the first 5 books before I ever read any of the novels. Now I’ve devoured all 6 books and don’t know what to do with myself until The Running Grave is released.

I could also possibly be consoled by news that they are starting to shoot the TV version of IBH sometime soon… I’m positively dying to see Tom and Holliday portraying these characters again and I know that the writers will be thoughtful and clever with how they adapt the book for television.

But the waiting, the waiting…! 😩
