I both love and hate Oedipus Rex because the end is so stupid.
The whole play is (in one interpretation!) about self-identity and the battle between knowing who we are and how we are percieved by ourselves and the world around us. You'd expect for Oedipus to end the play fully relalized and yet...
By blinding himself, which, yes it is out of guilt and is a form of self-flagellation, but it also acts as a way to continue ignoring who he is. Without eyes he cannot see his children, the genetic abominations, nor does he have to see the world he has helped corrupt. He can continue to live in bliss. In his blindness he does not become Tiresias- he is not a prophet- he is just a pathetic man as scared as us to see himself in the mirror.
Team natsu (minus Wendy for obvious reasons) are all dating each other. Sorry it’s cannon, the voices in my head told me.

Kuina: Everytime I hear someone talking about updog, I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke. Chishiya: Okay, but what is updog? Last Boss: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish. Arisu: Not, that’s a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released. Niragi: No, that's an update. You’re thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden. Usagi: Surely, that’s Uppsala, where’s updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter. Kuina: That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs. Arisu: You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current. Last Boss: No, that’s an updraft. An updog is the modern version of a henway. Chishiya: What’s a henway?? Kuina: Oh, about five pounds.
new years eve!!! wooo!!! go crazy go wild! 🥳🥳🥳
Heavenly Tyrant is out today! It's a weird feeling after so many years of losing hair over it. It didn't feel like I was capable of finishing the book until I wrote the last word. The publication process was not a happy one. I'm not doing any events for it, not even a launch. I'm typing this while lying in bed and thinking about what a terrible year it's been. We joked about 2020 being the worst year ever, yet every year since has been progressively worse. And the coming years do not show any indication of being better.
But a big theme in Heavenly Tyrant is that wherever there is oppression, there WILL be resistance. I have had as much heartwarming support from peers, friends, and readers as I've faced heinous shenanigans this year. When a very, very famous author I met this summer asked me "Are you a controversial person?" after I told him about the stuff I was going through, I answered "To many who hold power? Yes. To regular people? I don't think so."
I want to thank all of you who gave me the faith to say something like that. Most people I know are on the right side of history. If you aren't - I don't want to know you.
Anyway, the book. Heavenly Tyrant is SO different from Iron Widow that I'm pretty nervous about whether people would like it. I want to ask you all to adjust your expectations going in. You're not going to get another breakneck-paced story about a Girlboss Going Smash. The smashing was the easy part. Rebuilding what she broke into something better is much, much harder. The story is a lot slower by necessity, and the problems she faces are way more complicated to deal with. I also ask that you read until the end before making a judgement because, well, developments you don't like might not be endgame! And there's a book 3 coming! (This was always supposed to be a trilogy; it's just that my publisher was only willing to buy 2 books from me at first. They changed their minds after seeing the preorder numbers for IW.)
Finally, I want to bring everyone's attention to the five songs the Bookish Songs Collective wrote specifically for Iron Widow! They're now available to stream whenever you get your music. It blows my mind that MY book would get such epic music?! I can't thank or praise them enough. Seriously, CHECK THE EP OUT.
December festivities call for a new blog header! Here's a longer look at the pixel gang's Christmas outfits

i dont need makoto naegi to be happy or a headmaster or even sad i need him to be an unemployed bum who cant hold a job not for a lack of trying or competency but because he is a terrible luck magnet and can thus only work as either a sugar baby (togami gives him a low risk inconsequential desk job but Grossly overpays) or a freelance detective assistant (kirigiri loves that he is like cocaine to criminals)
PHEW I was almost worried that the MCC grian stream wouldn't include Grian. Glad the title cleared that up for me in advance.

Nah one straw is no problem bro. I'm the strongest camel ever, I'm carrying like TEN THOUSAND straw right now. If I can handle ten thousand straw then what's one straw gonna do? Stands to reason. Just chuck it on bro, it'll be fine.
Happy Halloween!
