Just the most thrilling day today. Meeting the cast was nice, watching the episode was even better. The nicest part though was meeting all the lovely people who have lived in my phone for years (pictures not included, sadly).

All day I’ve been randomly saying FHOATO
Instagram story posted by NifMuhammad: 

(Not to speak in support of fictional upper management too much but hey just in terms of the ethics of intimacy and the ethics of aftercare, as best as they can be applied in a severed situation, Mark absolutely does need to tell Helly that he FHOATO, Milchick is right! I saw nothing there but one man holding another man to a higher standard!)

The associated image is of Druskii raising his hands as if to say, “I’m just saying” mid argument

This is my only contribution to any poster chatter because I’m so proud of myself - and sad for Lan and I can say it here because all the book people I like are here. You have all left me with the show only stans on Twitter(!!!!)

Right now, visits from my tiny circle of friends are exactly what I need (it's a difficult time for me). George RR Martin (he’s roadtripping with Michael Cassutt; was great to meet him!) stopped by last night and got to meet my space cats. 😊 Ah, cats and friends. They are joy.

Now and again today, I remember The Midnight Boys casting Katt Williams and Kevin Hart as Merry and Pippin, and I have a little giggle. Michael B Jordan is Aragorn & Denzel is Gandalf. They're also going to recast Black Panther but with an all-white cast. 💀

I have had too much spare time lately & I feel a PhD thesis brewing on how fandoms are inherently racist. I looked up what work exists & brother, this is right up my street lmao. I can put all my hater energy into something. The problem is I like money too much to be a PhD student.

The Unbearable Whiteness of Fandom and Fan Studies
March 2018

Abstract
Fan studies, as a field, currently does not have a robust engagement with race. Recent years have seen the emergence of some awareness of fan studies' gaps with regard to race and attempts to fill them. Here, it is argued that it is the whiteness of both fandom and fan studies that encourages this inattention to race. The whiteness of fandom leads to fans refusing to address race as well as actively foregrounding whiteness. Whiteness is also vital to examine as a key factor in the media industries' contemporary engagement with fans. Despite the whiteness of the fandoms that fan studies tends to examine, fans of color do of course exist in them, and the specificities of this dynamic also need to be examined carefully. There is also a substantial gap in our understanding of the specific experiences of fandoms of color.

The Prestige TV podcast is covering The Agency. They asked if it’s possible that Samia knows Paul isn’t who he says he is & my first thought was *I* would know a secretive white man in Addis is a spy… that or he has a wife…

The Agency is so funny. They stole Le Bureau’s whole flow. They just changed Syria for Sudan to make it more apt for our times. The scenes are otherwise 1:1.

1. Le bureau des légendes (so I know what to expect in The Agency). 2. The Leftovers 3. Fazilet Hanim ve Kızları - I’m back in my Turkish era. Funnily enough, I have 4 more days of bed rest so this is what I’m up to.

Watching a tonsillectomy vlog & the lady’s crying because they gave her 1 pudding for the road instead of 2. I remember uncontrollably crying too, telling my confused mum “we are just different culturally! I’m not crying because I need a solution. I just need to cry & I can’t stop!”💀

If you think Galad Damodred is some rightwinger proud boy who has no character redemption/growth through the WoT series or that said growth is invalid/ppl can't redeem themselves, that's fine that you only did a surface-level reading of the character, but keep it out my mentions please & thank you.

So the Press Release WAS wrong. Unfortunately for me & the two other Galad/Nynaeve fans. Time for us to hang it up. Blasia forever!

Iman @listenerbell.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Anyway, who Galad’s mother is is sort of important but not enough to make me go back to being a full time hater. I really enjoyed having a moment of fun during my house arrest.

Does the fact that we have a Lord Gaebril casting mean everyone’s 4th favourite Great Captain (because the 5th is literally a white cloak) has been cut from the show?

I was walking and came to a HALT when I realised who is playing Galad. Give me 10 mins to process and I’m going back to my Nynaeve/Galad agenda.

Starting to see why they treat a tonsillectomy as a last resort for adults. Brother, the pain in my ear is unbearable & I know that days 5-10 are supposed to be the most painful. I’m not even there yet.

Me: I’m not having rice. It’s too painful to swallow. I can only live off potato waffles. Also me: I should get a burger. The super painful post op days are still ahead of me so I should have one last treat. (I’ll work out the swallowing situation later).

Prague came up as a cheap holiday option on Skyscanner. I feel like I deserve a break once my house arrest is over. I googled whether it’s friendly to hijabis & the Reddit comments are like “just take it off”/“see it as an opportunity to represent Islam well.” Bye man. 💀

I was trying to make my kindle app work when I clicked on Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. It’s on my to be read pile but I hadn’t any intention to read it until I saw this. This is so stupid that I have to read it. I have to find out why someone would do such a foolhardy thing.
Prologue
September 7, 1831
Dearest Katherine,
I hope my letter finds you well. I am aware it has been over a year since my last correspond-ence, but circumstances have prevented me from writing before now. Dearest sister, all my life you have cautioned me against making rash de-cisions. Had I taken your wise counsel to heart maybe I would not be paying so dearly for that flaw now, but the die is cast. For the love of a woman named Frances Greaton, I have forsaken all I am and given my freedom over to her master.
I am a slave now, Katherine. My worth is no longer measured by how well I can steer a ship or the languages I've mastered, or the lands I own, but rather by my strength, my weight, and the health of my teeth. According to Master Greaton I am very valuable— much like a prized steer.
To her credit, Frances was furious upon learning what I'd done and refused to speak to me for days. But Katherine, to be near her I would carry water in hell. This is a hard life, especially for those in the fields.

1. Rand al'Thor is the greatest character in fantasy (This is not up for debate btw 🙏🏾)
Side profile art of Rand al'Thor, a white young man with red hair framing his face. He's wearing a white shirt under a red coat with
yellow cuffs and lapels, and a red belt
with yellow squares.
A golden crown in the shape of laurel leaves rests
on his head. His right hand is raised
up high, surrounded by a yellow flame.
His face is set in determination.
