The Sheer Power Of Arthur Parnassus Returning To The Island Where He Was Abused And Victimized As A Child

BRIAN’S BOOKSHELF | SEPTEMBER 2021

So, I recently rediscovered my love of reading and delved head-first into the LGBTQIA+ genre, specifically looking for books written by members of the community. Considering I read 9 books last month, I’d say I was pretty successful. 

(Note: Boyfriend Material was actually a re-read this time, but I’m very much looking forward to the sequel, Husband Material, which is expected August 2022.)

My TOP THREE for the month were: One Last Stop (wlw, found family, queer and trans POC characters that I absolutely L-O-V-E-D), Cemetery Boys (mlm, trans Latiné lead, truly the *perfect* October read), and The Witch King (mlm, trans lead, BIPOC side characters, modern fantasy aspects that worked really well, PLUS a sequel - The Fae Keeper - slated for a May 2022 release).

I also really enjoyed The Darkness Outside Us, The House in the Cerulean Sea, and The Charm Offensive. 4/5 stars for all of them, very solid books.

I struggled through the first half (yes, 200+ pages) of Winter’s Orbit, but found the second half to be much better, I zoomed right through to the end. I never really got into We Are The Ants, which I’m fairly certain is the oldest book on the list, but I ultimately did finish it.

Actually I request more floof, if possible

Hmmmmmm I wonder should I make Bingge’s hair smoler, trim it down a little? I sometimes get carried away 🤣 his hair is too fun to floof

Something I find funny is that there's a large gap in Arthurs life that we know nothing about. Assuming he left the DICOMY school at 18, there's 20 or so years that he could have been doing literally anything.

We know what the other adults did

Linus- worked at DICOMY pretty much forever

Zoe - was on the island being her sapphic self and generally being the Greatest

Helen - everything

Charles Werner - actually we don't know this one but based off what we do know it probably involved him being a selfish prick

So I'm taking it upon myself to compile a list of possible things Arthur could have been doing with his life, (getting increasingly unlikely as the list goes on.)

So far I have

studying philosophy Real Hard because as we know he's a Huge Nerd

babysitting or teaching because yknow he'd be good at it

studying ornithology because I'd personally find that kinda cute and funny

maybe he studied marine life bc that one scene where he said chauncey was a jellyfish and I know he probably did all that research specifically for chauncey but my special interest is the ocean so I deserve this

he could have played Jenga for profit bc in that same scene he startled me and Linus with that trick with the books

maybe he studied the blade because he's gay and has a sword

Feel free to add

I was trying to explain to my mum that I want to be cremated and made into a reef when I die and she just said "you won't die" with such surety and determination and I was like "oh alright then I guess not"

I just looked through my blog and idk what was wrong with me back then I apologize

!! I was wondering when someone would bring this up!!!

For the longest time I was trying to figure out why they thought pansexuals were simultaneously bisexual and biphobic and after extensive research I've figured out that it's because panphobes have no critical thinking skills.

Someone: "Pansexuality is the same as bisexuality therefore its biphobic so im panphobic >:((("

Me: "So you're saying you're biphobic?"

Them: "no-"

Me: "By your definition they are the same thing, so if you're panphobic you're biphobic. By your definition, because that is what you said."

Them:

Them: >:(

Guys people always complain about how monopoly tears families apart but have you played uno? It slowly makes people hate each other and I swear to god There’s so much yelling “I hate you all!” “I choose red” “we are on red” “I choose green ” “but I don’t have green” “red” “seriously?” “I don’t have red ” “I choose green” “FUCK”
