I think the sort of psychological horror aspect of kotlc is that all the terrifying elements are only ever implied. On the surface it's a kids fantasy book with some darker themes, stuff like government corruption and terrorism and magic powers. But if you follow some of the plot points to their natural conclusions, it becomes a literal dystopia. There are spyballs that can show you any elf at any time, implying that there are cameras in every elvin room, easily accessed by members of the nobility. The matchmaking system is created to make the best possible children, meaning people with serious disabilities likely don't get to reproduce, and gay couples are almost out of the question. But the elves live for such a long time that they've lost track of who's related to who, so if you go outside the eugenicist system, you're risking incest. The registry files have information on everyone's personality, love life, and even stuffed animals, meaning the registry pendants not only track your location, but can also hear your conversations. The reason crime is so rare in the lost cities (excluding violent crimes that could cause mental breaks) is because it's a surveillance state. You'd be caught instantly. People who wanted change had to completely control their own minds to avoid being found out, faking insanity to avoid suspicion or gaining complete mastery of acting so they could live a double-life.

#I just think it's a really interesting society #say what you will about Shannon but she cooked with the worldbuilding #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc thoughts #I've been kotlc posting a lot lately guys I promise I have other interests

Over one year on from Dobbs, please remember the victims of abortion bans in America. These are just the ones that made it to the news:

Marlena Stell

Amanda Zurawski

The 10-year-old from Ohio

The 16-year-old from Florida

The 15-year-old from Florida

Nancy Davis

Elizabeth Weller

Anya Cook

Kelly Shannon

Jessica Bernardo

Kierstan Hogan

Taylor Edwards

Kylie Beaton

Gabriella Gonzalez

Samantha Casiano

Lauren Van Vleet

Austin Dennard

Lauren Miller

Jaci Statton

Kristina Cruickshank

Tara George

Carmen Broesder

Jill Hartle

Brittany Vidrine

Jane Doe from Massachusetts, who had an ectopic pregnancy rupture because a pregnancy crisis center told her it was viable

The Jane Doe had an ectopic pregnancy rupture after an anti-abortion pregnancy center told her she had a normal pregnancy

Emily Doe, whose fetus had lungs that wouldn’t develop and had no kidneys. The pregnancy had the potential to endanger her health…but it wasn’t endangering it yet. So she had to flee Missouri for an abortion.

Victoria Doe from Louisiana, who had to go to Oregon

Ashley Brandt

Anna Zargarian

Reverend and Doctor Love Holt

Michelle Mitchenor

Brooke High

Ashley from Mississippi, who was raped and forced to give birth to her rapist's baby. She's 13.

Nicole Blackmon

Allie Phillips

Jennifer Adkins

When we do win back our right to bodily autonomy, forced birthers will forget these people. Some have absolutely no idea who these people are. But when you tell them you hope what they force on others gets forced on them, they gasp and say you're evil. Because they recognize that what they force on others is wrong, and they think they deserve better than their victims.

If you think the "abortion debate" is merely a difference of opinion, you haven't been paying attention.

"The second edition of AD&D was finally released in early 1989. Many of the changes turned out to be cosmetic. One of the biggest was that the sizes of the Player’s Handbook (1989) and Dungeon Master’s Guide (1989) were reversed. Back in 1978 Gygax had decided that it was best if the players did not know the rules, and so the original Player’s Handbook was a skeleton that didn’t even detail combat. Now the entire roleplaying industry had accepted the fact that players and gamemasters were united in games — not adversaries — and the new rules reflected this. [...]

Perhaps most surprisingly, the rules were once again presented as “guidelines” — a reversal from Gygax’s original goal for the AD&D lines. Finally, the character classes were indeed cleaned up, with Arneson’s assassin and monk eliminated.

Though Cook had said that assassins were removed due to problems of party unity, their excision has always been seen by the public as part of TSR’s well-documented attempt to make AD&D more public friendly — TSR’s only allowance to the religious hysteria that had shadowed the game throughout the 1980s. Half-orcs were similarly removed as player characters, and demons and devils were eliminated entirely.

James M. Ward, who had instituted the removal of demons and devils, explained in Dragon #154 (February 1990) that “[a]voiding the Angry Mother Syndrome has become a good, basic guideline for all of the designers and editors at TSR, Inc.” Apparently, TSR had received one letter a week complaining about the demons and devils since the original Monster Manual was printed, and those 624 letters, or what Ward called “a lot of letters,” had been the reason he’d removed the infernal races.

The readers were not amused, and to his credit Ward printed many of their replies in Dragon #158 (June 1990). One reader stated that the decision “becomes censorship when an outside group dictates to you … what you should print.” The release of the Outer Planes Appendix (1991) for the Monstrous Compendium assuaged some of the anger because it restored demons as “tanar’ri” and devils as “baatezu,” but some fans left D&D entirely as a result of this decision."

Shannon has always thought of death. Sometimes in the depth of the night, she would imagine her death. Always for someone else, occasionally she would be held by some unknown face with an altering name, and she would smile up at them with pink-stained teeth. More frequently, she imagined she would be alone as she became some faceless martyr for the cause—another sister warrior to be mourned, commiserated, and forgotten.

This is not how she wants to die. Head submerged with water flooding her nostrils, stinging her eyes. She’s acutely aware of hands clasped around her throat, directing her head into the river. Her lungs ache, a gradual ache that threads through the lobes, evolving into a burn. Shannon can’t breathe.

Fingers find soft skin; finding a hold, she digs her nails into the flesh. Somewhere above, there’s an echo of an explosion distorted through the water.

Shannon is thrust upwards, air frigid against her face. There’s a face staring at her, blood dripping from one nostril, mixing into the river. Her fist contacts the person’s nose, cartilage giving way under the force. Something hard hits the back of her head, and she hits stones on the riverbank. Water, once again, surging against her.

For a second, Shannon wonders if this is how Christ felt submerged in the Jordan. Could something divine feel the fear bubbling in their chest, to feel their lungs screaming for air?

#a little taste of a new fresh horror I have cooked up #shannon masters #warrior nun #sister shannon #eventually there’s gonna be a very protective Mary #to me this is how they formally met

as someone who finds the geography of fantasy worlds so interesting, i don’t think i’ve ever been more enthralled by a world like the one in priory. looking at the maps alone makes my dopamine receptors fire up at unprecedented speeds. now comparing priory’s maps with those in a day of fallen night and finding how the names of some familiar places were spelled differently in the past, countries that presumably don’t exist anymore, and how even the emblems of some countries were different makes me want to shout from the rooftops about it

#samantha shannon cooked so hard with the lore and i’m thankful for that #she even took into account language evolution and the way the names of some places in virtudom sort of assimilated over time #i never thought i’d read priory of the orange tree let alone the prequel #but here we are

so that "everyone in the family" can see it or so that "everyone on rokkenjima" can see it?

#umineko liveblog #ep1 reread #luckily we're not at that scene otherwise i would start being insane about whatever scheme kinzo is cooking up with the servants #because it's just like. why give shannon and kanon the opportunity to solve the epitaph if he also intends on using them as pawns?#like. solve the epitaph and succeed me but also i plan on using you as a sacrificial vessel for the golden witch #unless this is one of those demon's roulette gamble things. the sacrifice can only work if there's a better possible outcome to bet against
