Been a minute, huh? My conscious mind forgot that Outcast was up next, but maybe some part of me knew, and that, not spacing out on this project for months at a time, is why I didn’t follow up with…

Full disclosure, this one is definitely in my top three, beaten outright only by the Long Patrol, which is mostly about hares, and maybe tied with Pearls of Lutra, which is ambitious and weird enou…

So Mossflower had issues as a prequel that even fourth grade me regarded with some contempt. There were continuity errors. Now, the notion of Canon Above All hadn’t really solidified into its moder…

Confession, I accidentally cheated a little bit. I was talking Redwall with a friend on account of this series, wanted examples of some of the accents, and went and pulled the first book I saw off …

Guess who decided to return to this series after an entire calendar year? Yeah so but anyway. Redwall had a pronounced case of Gender Equality But. This is extremely common in speculative settings …

Today’s warnings: Weird old timey racism (no slurs, just stupidity), wild classism, transphobia weirdly enough. I’ve decided to just tag all these at the beginning because, as I’ll touch on a bit m…

Warning: Today’s story uses the r-slur in what was at the time an approximately medical context, but not really, we all know what it means. As an aside, since I started this extremely sporadic seri…

Warning: This story seethes with racism! It’s frankly fairly weird racism by modern standards, a burst of minstrel pseudo-dialect from a person described as “Sam, the milk-chocolate elevator boy” a…

I’ve found myself missing longform blogging from the weird old days of the internet. I hate my own recorded voice and don’t really bother to look like anything other than a tired gremlin on the reg…
