It does honestly impress me how EXACTLY and PRECISELY Emily Skrutskie constructs the most INCREDIBLE and Appealing premises only to do LITERALLY nothing with them. These books are SO empty!!

like okay. First book of hers I read, a fun little synopsis:

woman who works as a sea monster trainer to train massive genetically engineered Beasts to protect ships from pirate attacks falls in love with a pirate! INSANE right. Should be accompanied by an exploration of THE CREATION OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED WEAPONS and probably also the ECONOMY LEADING TO PIRACY and not to mention the JUSTICE SYSTEM and what it means to have ALL THAT GODDAMN POWER but no. There’s nothing.

weird! Funky little book I’m sure I can just excise from my mind and never think about again—

BUT I CANT. BECAUSE HER PLOT POINTS ARE TOO DAMN INTERESTING. and oh big surprise but all the rest of her books have the EXACT same issues!!

hullmetal girls: two girls fall in love (I think?) in a military academy after being turned into weapons in a completely space-faring society. I believe one of them was a rich officer-track girl and the other was poor and in it for the family pension. But oh that’s so interesting! Will we be exploring THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM? Themes of BODILY AUTONOMY? Themes of perhaps even GENDER relating to bodily autonomy or MEDICAL AUTONOMY or PHYSICAL DEVALUATION? How about a look into WHY THIS SOCIETY IS SO DAMN BIFURCATED? or perhaps WHY THERES A NEED FOR MILITARY AT ALL? We sure fucking won’t!

All of this is Backdrop you see! Because it sounds Cool. A little bit of spice, perhaps, for what is maybe the MOST milquetoast romance I have ever read wherein neither of the characters was even differentiable from any other. Nobody had an arc. Nobody had a theme or god forbid a thematic resolution. Things happened because they were cool and sounded neat.

I’ve read books with bad writing before but usually those books were at least passionate and TRYING. I’ve never read before or since a book that was so empty and devoid of any deeper meaning. Shallow in the MOST literal sense. And to be frank I WAS digging! These books are a backyard sandbox marked out like an archeological site.

#like mmmm where’s. Where’s the ANYTHING. god I fucking WISH the curtains were blue honestly! #Did I go into the tags to see how big a beehive I would be kicking YES and I’d like to say um Diversity doesn’t excuse a total lack of them #I’m aroace! usually I AM in fact scraping for any representation at all but hm hullmetal girls is. I’m disowning it. #it’s such an unsatisfying book. It’s entertaining enough. But there’s nothing to it really. There’s no themes and none of the characters #Ever progress as people. The plot feels very pointless and even depressingly so at times. No narrative arcs at all. #Like. A lot of things happen but nobody really goes anywhere and no problems are ever fixed or caused or solved or anything. #A whole lot of nothing happens and then everyone is sad and worse off. And it doesn’t mean anything. #Not even in an ‘all violence is ultimately pointless’ kind of way. Nothing anyone does holds any deeper meaning and everything is lip servi #to culminate in the most SINGULARLY unsatisfying books I have ever read to the point I RECOGNIZED hullmetal girls as the same author #as the abyss surrounds us (pirates one) when I had forgotten the author name AND title of that book. #that should be enough to keep my filing system out of the general tags #Emily skrutskie #hullmetal girls #the abyss surrounds us

Per @aroaessidhe: Little Thieves, The Kindred, The Summer of Bitter and Sweet, Gender Queer, (and I think The Bone Season?) have ace or demisexual MCs, not aromantic. also, a lot of the rest are side characters, not main characters.

Thank you, genuinely, so much, for this correction. I'm very sorry for the mistake. I create these guides between work assignments (I work from home, around the clock, trying to make ends meet in this mess of an economy) and didn't do my due diligence in double-checking every book. I think this started as an aro/ace list I was compiling and I tried to separate it into two guides. I apologize for the discrepancy vehemently and will strive to do better in the future. Thank you for catching my error.

Asexual books! 💜🤍🩶🖤

Books I've already read and loved:

• Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger: In a magical world, a young girl who has the ability to raise the ghosts of animals receives a dream from her recently deceased cousin telling her he was murdered and he needs her to investigate

• A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger: A snake person from the parallel world of animal spirits journeys to Earth and works with a young girl to try and find out what real world circumstances are wiping out the species of his frog friend

• Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire: a series focusing on a school for kids who return from portal fantasies and can't readjust to life back on Earth. *We follow a different character every book, but the first book focuses on a young ace girl

• Dread Nation duology by Justina Ireland: when zombies rise during the Civil War, the war ends and black and Indigenous people are instead forcibly conscripted to fight the zombies while also waiting on wealthy white people. Jane, one such fighter begins investigating missing people and unearths a conspiracy. *Jane herself is bi, but the second book has a split POV with her friend Katherine who doesn't use the word aroace because it's the 1800s, but does clearly state that she is not and has never been interested in sex or romance

• Sidekick Squad series by CB Lee: in a world of superheroes and villians, a group of teens discover that the superheroics are just bread and circuses to distract from the corrupt government and begin to mount a rebellion. *Each book follows a different member of the group and book 3 follows Emma, who is questioning and thinks she might be aroace

• Connor Hawke's Green Arrow comics by various authors. Unfortunately, Connor doesn't really have any easy collections I can recommend, but he's a great character and has two stories focusing specifically on his asexuality in DC's 2022 and 2023 pride issues

On my TBR:

• Cute Mutants series by SJ Whitby

• A Queerplatonic New Year by Katie Foulks

• Hullmetal Girls by Emily Skrutskie

• Learning Curves by Ceillie Simkiss

• Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kann

• The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow

• The Romantic Agenda by Claire Kann

• You Don't Have a Shot by Raquel Marie

• Love Letters for Joy by Melissa See

• The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

Aisha Un-Haad from Hullmetal Girls is aromantic asexual!

#aisha un haad #hullmetal girls #canon aspec #aromantic #asexual #submitted by aprilthoughts-gov

[aprilthoughts-gov]

As an aroace teenager, I just want to thank @skrutskie for this. I had known that Aisha was aroace before I picked up the book, but I never expected the way it was brought up to hit me so hard. She just... says it, and it isn't made into a big deal She doesn't have to take the time to break down what aroace means to everyone, and nobody questions if she's REALLY sure about her identity because she's so young. It's just accepted. While I definitely don't want a lot of things about The Hullmetal Girls to come true for humanity, I like the idea that coming out as aromantic and asexual will be treated like this in the future.

The great diversity and representation isn't the only amazing thing about The Hullmetal Girls. The writing itself is exquisite (I feel like I understand what it's like to be a Scela.) and the story goes places I didn't expect. I think it's a must-read for any fan of SciFi!

The HULLMETAL GIRLS Playlist

Here it is at last: the playlist for HULLMETAL GIRLS! These are the songs that inspired me while I was working on this story, from planning to drafting to revising. They’re arranged roughly in story-order, so it’s sort of possible to listen along while reading, though I’ve done my best to avoid spoilers in the comments discussing why they’re on the playlist. A weird? fun? note—for some reason, this book adopted a very folkish bent early on in its musical sound. Make of that what you will.

Yellow Flicker Beat // Lorde // i’m a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm / and the scars that mark my body, they’re silver and gold // a song for scela conversion

Gasoline // Halsey // you can’t wake up, this is not a dream / you are part of a machine, you are not a human being // a song for integration recovery

One And The Same // Robert DeLong // you said we’d become immortal with computers for brains / as you plunged the knife in your chest, i died / ‘cause we are one and the same // a song for the exo

Crystals // Of Monsters and Men // cover your crystal eyes / and let your colors bleed and blend with mine // a song for the exosystem 

Mess Around // Syd Youth // ready for the next round / ready for the gold crown / ready to be number one / two three touchdown // a song for the evaluation period

Badlands // Smoke Season // i never hurt a fly ‘til they told me to put down the gun // a song for ghostly impulses and missing spaces

Roots // Imagine Dragons // trouble found me / trouble found me // a song for the return to the reliant

Sisters // Radical Face // something in the middle / something in the middle / something in the middle / something’s in the way // a song for aisha and malikah

Weapon // Bastille vs. Angel Haze vs. F*U*G*Z vs Braque) // we dance with the devil and then / your halo’s the color of sin // a song for the fractionists

Battle Cry // Imagine Dragons // nobody can save you now / king is crowned, it’s do or die // a song for the aeschylus vent

Top of the World// Greek Fire // here i am, living a dream that i can’t hold // a song for alpha 37

With Your Two Hands // The Wind and the Wave // fools will die alone / fools will die alone // a song for the final test

Crabapples // Bruce Peninsula // oh i saw your bones on the road / just waiting for the vultures to come // a song for being hung by the nape

Who Do You Love // Marianas Trench // i miss the way that you saw me / or maybe the way i saw myself // a song for key tanaka and the truth at hand

Awake My Soul // Mumford and Sons // and now my heart stumbles on things i don’t know / my weakness i fear i must finally show // a song for trying to get back to your old self

Coming Back // Dean Ray // you can steal my mind / twist it for a while / but you can’t take my pride // a song for fighting to be the person you lost

Shut Up and Drive // Rihanna // my engine’s ready to explode / so start me up and watch me go // a song for the void jump

Machine // MisterWives // we’re not, we’re not part, we’re not part of your machine // a song for scela in rebellion

Railroad Track // Willy Moon // ‘cause i’m leaving town and i ain’t coming back no more // a song for a birthship in crisis

Particles of the Universe (Heartbeats) // Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin // [instrumental] // a song for aisha and the worst thing

Grace // Rachel Platten // i used to wear love like an army / i used to know nothing could harm me // a song for aisha boarding the last shuttle

Headfirst // Secret Someones // like a rocketship shooting through the atmosphere / we’ve got a one-way ticket to a new frontier / i’ve got your arm around me honey and there’s nothing to fear // a song for the second void jump

Better Hide, Better Run // The Glitch Mob // unquenched thirst for glory / sets off a loaded gun // a song for the squad and the endgame

A Real Hero // Smallpools // a real human being / and a real hero // a song for the archangel unleashed

Glitter & Gold // Barns Courtney // i am flesh and i am bone / i’ll rise (ting ting) like glitter and gold // a song for the archangel on her feet

No Matter Where You Are // Us The Duo // a quitter and regretter and forgetter is everything i’m not // a song for key and aisha
