Review: The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Review: The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

The House Of The Scorpion by Nancy Farmer My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have mixed feelings about this book. Much of it gives me the creeps. I love the Walking Dead and think cloning will never bring exact replicas due to the environment and circumstances of the original versus that of the clone. But the treatment of people in this dystopia seems horrible and never improves. Nancy Farmer’s writing…

no spoilers, but a quick gush about brc-

as a followup to my last post before the game came out, I recently finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk- aside from some collectibles and 100%ing the whole game- and man. man. okay no you dont get it (unless you know jsr and the fans' history of begging for a new game or SOMETHING).

I think a lot of people I've seen in the brc/jsr tags agree that this is what we wanted. Team Reptile did in 3-4 years what sega couldnt do in 20+

the whole thing, the style, the graffiti and trick system, the ost, all holds up to jsr/jsrf's standards imo, it did not disappoint , even the plot held up and i didn't even expect much of a plot. It had a somewhat silly absurdity to it towards the end (not spoiling anything) but they made it fucking cool. (as did jsr/jsrf tho tbh)

literally my only criticism for the gameplay or anything is a skill issue that's my own damn fault or minor unproblematic bugs that could easily be patched.

this game in my opinion Fucking Delivered on the JSR/F experience while also standing on its own two legs as an original game. its not just "JSRF 2"

it has heart. it has soul

people made affectionate jokes that this game looks like it understands the concept of love.

It does.

and this is where i add a corny followup like "and it understands Da People" --

#concept of love getting a sequel song make me feel things. #bomb rush cyberfunk #jet set radio #jsrf #ralph speaks #i WILL be making fanart if i can focus. god. damn #and it will be sentimental #if you liked jsr/f i highly recommend it. HIGHLY. recommend #wait. wait. what we didnt get for true homage to jsrf. we need ost that is.... #an equivalent to birthday cake. we need a song thats so bad its good #but afaik everything was a bop #0/10 every song was good we need a train wreck again- /JOKING

and if i were to write a LOTF fanfic inspired by Peter Pan (the story by l.m. barrie) and also partially Lost Boy (by Christina Henry) what then. huh chat

#lotf #lord of the flies #writing #my writing #i love you fuckass fic but i'm growing bored with my own inability to convey any feelings ever through my words #i love you beta readers for fuckass fic but it would be great if you. read the fic ever #anyways peter and jack are so similar to me #some kid who doesn't want to go back to grown-ups because then he won't be leader of a group of rowdy boys anymore? #sign me up #Lost Boy is used for the ralph effect #where jamie is peter's best friend and first mate #but he still has to conform to the rules #and peter is a fickle being whose mind changes with the snap of his own fingers #so jamie is kind of scared of him #peak jack and ralph interaction are you kidding me #anyways i started reading peter pan and i love the writing style very much #it is very dear to me #and Lost Boy is done beautifully also #i recommend you read one if not both of them

Lizzie the musical and Macbeth

I think it would be fun to talk about some parallels between Lizzie and Macbeth!

“Fire burn and toil / kettle bubble, water boil”, echoing the famous rhyme. Bridget as a weird sister, making tea and planting the seed of murder in Lizzie’s mind.

For Lady Macbeth, King Duncan’s resemblance to her father stops her from murdering him in his sleep; for Lizzie, this…is not an issue.

In WTF Now, Lizzie?!, Emma grapples with a key question arising out of the murders and we get:

“Now I got twice the trouble /  Got two for one!”; multiples of two notably abound in Macbeth, e.g. in “double, double toil and trouble”; “he’s here in double trust”; “all our service / in every point twice done and then done double / were poor and single business”; “these juggling fiends…that palter with us in a double sense” (and of course Emma chants, “what the fuck now, Lizzie?!” 4 x 8 times for a total of 32 times and this is the product of two squared and two cubed.)

“A foolish thought, to say a sorry sight” – Lady Macbeth says these exact words!

Compare Lizzie: “My hands are red but I wear a heart so white” vs Lady Macbeth: “My hands are of your colour [red! they are covered in blood because she’s just been handling the daggers her husband used to murder the king], but I shame / To wear a heart so white” – I read “white” as used by Lizzie as meaning “pure” or “blameless”, but by Lady Macbeth as meaning “pale with fear”.

“Who would have thought the old man [to have] had so much blood in him?” – Lady Macbeth again!!

“What’s done is done but there’s a knocking at the gate” – this is reminiscent of what Lady Macbeth says to her husband (at least) twice: “Things without all remedy / Should be without regard; what’s done, is done”; “give me your hand; what’s done cannot be undone.”

“Gotta clean up the scene, gotta act like we’re normal” – basically the Macbeths’ entire vibe after Duncan’s death.

Lady Macbeth famously struggles with getting a good night’s rest after the murders; Lizzie, of course, sleeps in sweet satisfaction.

#i just think this is neat! #and of course both women utilised girl power effectively #act 2 scene 2 my beloved #lizzie the musical #macbeth #lady macbeth #shakespeare #ps if anyone’s in london i highly recommend the indira varma and ralph fiennes production #it’s on till 30 march 2024 and then moving to washington!

Maybe a shitty sequel was the price wreck it ralph had to pay to avoid live action hell

#The characters are both canonically digital and extremely cartoonish so it would be very hard to make a cheap live action remake #think about how Ralph or king candy may look with human actors #Visualize the cybugs but with terrible cgi #Or Don't #i wouldn't recommend it #wreck it ralph

[amadeusevenstar]

kinda obsessed w ruben (shootfighter) x chris (naked in new york) even tho i haven’t seen either of those things 😅

just read you’re not the compliment type and it’s so good!! do i have the context for anything going on in it? nope! but nonetheless i am obsessed

#maybe i will watch them one day we’ll see #also so sad we didn’t get a movie with both ralph and billy during that era 😭 #forever mourning the loss #cobra kai #karate kid #shootfighter #naked in new york #ruben x chris #lawrusso #or like lawrusso adjacent #if anyone has any more fic recommendations lmk 👀

Brannigan (1975)

"Well, if it was up to me, I'd get some men out thumping on the streets, passing out some 'e pluribus unum'. That's what ninety percent of police work is today."

"The murder rate in your country, I'm sure, gives ample testimony to your superior police methods."

Barry Dennen! that at least was a delightful surprise. but yeah not much to recommend this really

Edmund Gosse "Father and Son" - Ralph resonances

I am currently reading this book to find out more about the Plymouth Brethren for a certain writing project......and I found this paragraph which immediately made me think of Ralph and his 'hunger for factual information'. Perhaps he too grew up in a house with few books?
