2023 Reading Log, pt. 9

41. Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine by Gabrielle Hatfield. There are some A-Z encyclopedia style books that are interesting and easy reads. This is not one of them. Most of the entries are long lists of what remedies were used for a particular ailment, or what ailments were reputed to have been treatable by a particular remedy. The writing style is very boring and samey throughout, making it a chore to read. I do appreciate the appearance of scientific names when referring to plant remedies, with a question mark in the cases where a common name is used that can be applied to multiple plants. I do not appreciate how native American remedies are often an afterthought, drawn from a much more limited range of sources, and many times not even explaining what tribal tradition they belong to. This book would probably be a relatively useful resource for a research project, although not a one-stop shop. I do not recommend it, however, as a reading experience.

42. A History of the World Through Body Parts by Kathryn Petras and Ross Petras. This book is a historical miscellany, focusing on how human history has been influenced by, well, human organs. It was inspired by a quote by Pascal about Cleopatra’s nose, which is discussed. The book is broken into short chapters about a particular historical person, their body, and how it influenced their actions and legacy. The book is fine, but it is weirdly padded. Each chapter begins with a full page title, and infoboxes, some of which are only a paragraph long, get their own pages as well. So while I did enjoy this book, I do also kind of regret paying full hardcover price for it.

42a. Elf Queens and Holy Friars by Richard Firth Green. I was super intrigued by this book’s premise—that fairy belief in medieval Europe was seen as a threat by the Church to their cultural hegemony. Unfortunately, the author makes some idiosyncratic choices that make it literally impossible for me to read. Long passages from primary sources are quoted. If they’re in French, they’re translated. If they’re in Latin, they’re paraphrased. And if they’re in Middle English, they’re left to stand on their own. I don’t read Middle English or Latin. So this book seems to be written for a specialist audience only, and anyone interested in the topic without the language background can piss off, I guess.

43. The Strange Bestiary by Bruce R. Cordell, Monte Cook and Robert J Schwalb.  I quite liked the bestiaries that Monte Cook Games put out for the Numenera game, so I figured I’d have a similarly high opinion of the bestiary for The Strange, the same company’s dimension hopping alternate reality game. This was not the case. For a system titled “The Strange”, the book is awfully mundane. In The Strange, there’s a Mad Science dimension, a Traditional Western Fantasy dimension, a Lovecraft dimension and a Gothic Horror dimension, which means that fairly uninspired versions of monsters pertaining to those tropes are the dominant contents of the book. There are a few monsters with original and interesting concepts, but they’re drowned out by things we’ve seen before for a dozen different systems.

44. Islands and Snakes, edited by Harvey B. Lilywhite and Marcio Martins. This is an academic book, a collection of papers about the evolution and ecology of snakes on islands. After a general overview of the topic, most of the papers focus on one particular species or species complex. A significant chunk of the papers cover sea kraits, which are snakes I didn’t know much about; they’re eel specialists and more amphibious than other sea snakes, emerging onto islands to rest and digest, and laying their eggs in sea caves or other hidden humid areas. Other topics include the insular tiger snakes of offshore Tasmanian islands, the vipers of Milos Island off the coast of Greece, and the weirdly specialized, and unfortunately now dwindling, water moccasins of Seahorse Key in Florida.

45. Suggestible You by Eric Vance. This book is about the placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis, and other ways that the brain can influence the body. The author comes at the topic from an interesting perspective. He grew up a Christian Scientist, and his parents told him the story of how their faith saved him from life-threatening illness when he was an infant. This loops back around to a discussion of implanted memories, and the instability of memory in general—he “remembers” the event despite being one year old, and in the third person, because of how many times he’s heard the story. Vance is an eager experimental participant, engaging in placebo trials for pain, getting himself professionally hypnotized, visiting acupuncturists and Christian Science healers, and even getting himself cursed.

I felt like doing another piece of art based on kaosdisabledsupport’s forearm crutch poses again. Another Lance Magenstaff in his comfy orange tunic top, striped purple vest, pink skirt…and without his leg prosthetic because his brother Cordell is fixing it.

Lance has no worries though. He knows he’s still the most handsome blond heterochromic half-elf bard in all of the Prime Material Plane.

Do Cordell <3

Cordell my beloved... <3

I'm just... so much wasted potential for her OKAY. And I just want to see more of her and the Kuros in general. I want to see more Kuro shenanigans and her leading the dark elves and the vamps to a new better direction for them and the Durem underground, really. Please just let us see more Kuros. THE "BABY SISTER" COMICS. MORE DUREM UNDERGROUND POLITICS. AND MOST OF ALL, GIVE US MORE OF OUR BELOVED VAMP/ELF DAMPHYR DON, GAIA.

(Because, really, the moment the Kuros' backstory dropped, I was in love with the concept.)

While I don't like her enough to be like "OMG marry me", my heart would still skip a beat if she brandishes her sword towards me. I know she can kick my butt and hurl me away without effort. While that is an honor, I would at least like to keep my body intact, thank you.

1st - Multiboobage: A Trope Men have Perved Over since Ancient Times, when the Greater in Size and Number Breasts were, the More Fertile they were, with Goddesses like Diana being depicted as having over 14 or more. ;)

Talk about OVER Milking something! ;3

The first version of it in modern times, to my knowledge, was in Total Recall (1990) where Genetic Engineering or some Future thing allowed a Prostitute to have Three Breasts. ;)

The Comic Pic I sent having Four Breasted Women. ;3

And most recently the Anime, Mushoku Tensei, had a Three Breasted Elf like Girl. ;)

I'm torn Between 3 Tits OR 4 Tits...

What Naughty Number do you think Cordell, Hoyt(We NEED to give him some Loving), Dean, and/or Sam would Lust for the Most and make their Dicks Harder than Diamonds? ;3

Hmmmmm

Cordell would prefer 3 ;) It's just enough for a little extra loving but not so much that it can't be hidden. He likes being the only one who knows his Sugarcube's secret ;)

I think Hoyt and Dean would like 4 ;) More is better

I'm not sure on Sam.... I've long been an appreciator of witch!Sam, and all I can picture is him making a potion just to see if he could and Y/N drinking it, resulting in the extra boobage ;) Oh, how guilty he'd feel, watching her move around with discomfort from lack of proper support. He wouldn't let himself get aroused while his precious girl needs his help......

Twas the midnight after Thanksgiving

And all through the house

Only one creature was stirring

Much larger than a mouse

Instead of resting in bed, full of dreams romantic

Cordell Walker was getting boxes from the attic

What for, one might ask?

Cordell might not answer, far too busy with his planning

But perhaps the festive elf hat he wore would be up to the task

Esmer noticed Cordell wasn't in bed, and so he got up to look for him.

He looked and looked, but no sign of his lover!

Until he heard a soft thud up the attic stairs, and up up up he climbed, opening the door little by little.

"Cordell?"

The Trump campaign promise of repealing and replacing the Affordable Health Care Act otherwise known as Obamacare looks like it has hit a major roadblock as republican plan failed to make it out of Washington alive yesterday.

However, earlier in the week a hashtag started trending that combines the lovable nerdiness of Dungeons and Dragons with the viciousness of politics and the result has been nothing short of hilarity.  After the defeat of President Donald Trump’s (and House Speaker Paul Ryan’s) bill to replace Obamacare was pronouced dead on arrival, the hashtag #GOPDND got a new lease on life.  We predict there will be a board game in the near future.

#GOPDnD turns to Dungeons & Dragons to explain Republicans’ cartoon villainy: https://t.co/kmN23o7FTV pic.twitter.com/Un9kDuxT5y
