I Haven't Read The Series Nor Learnt Anything About The Rest Of It As I’m Waiting Till Their Either
I haven't read the series nor learnt anything about the rest of it as I’m waiting till their either translated to English or the show comes out so I can have my heart ripped to shreds completely virgin to what the series holds but I’m just so interested in the cards. I mean there's 52 normal playing cards but there's also 2 jokers building it up to 54 cards. Now I know logically the show isn't going to use the joker cards but they are rather interesting I mean when they were first written into the rule book (although they had existed long before that) their status was actually above all the cards. obviously now its used in other contexts depending on the game you play (example it may be used to skip a players turn, it may also be the lowest ranking card or some other ability.). Its main purpose throughout is to be a wild card. obviously all the important characters relate to a Alice in wonderland character- which ones are somewhat up to interpretation since how one reads Alice in wonderland and also how one interprets the characters motives of Alice in borderland varies vastly. But I mean come on the cards are such an integral part of the series- as well as Alice in borderland- so it only makes sense for the characters to relate to the cards as well. I could probably rant about the characters and their cards, how perhaps their card are the ones we first meet them in, or the ones they die in, maybe the ones they held the most impact on. But then there's certain characters that we meet that do hold enough purpose in the show to be memorable yet either don't fit any of those descriptions or meet multiple. Perhaps its only the face cards- the jack, queen, king and ace- that hold characters dear to them. I mean Mira is the red queen herself no? in both characterisation and card references and yet that seems to easy. For it to only be the face cards when we meet so many influential characters. I mean heck playing cards I’d find myself winning ( or rather losing since I always guessed wrong and would win to many games) on something as stupid as the 2 of trumps. So its not like the normal cards are something to scoff at- used correctly and their more useful then the ace for crying out loud. But I'm getting off track, the most obvious character for the Joker would be hatter, I mean dudes insane and basically made for the role. But I mean, come on, the even more obvious choice is Arisu. Dudes build to be a wild card. From a nothing in the real world, a shut in who plays games all day. Yet he seems to be one of the best game players in the series for things like hearts and Diamonds. his innocents, ability to make characters love him or feel sympathy, quick wit and much more make him stupidly good at the two heart games we’ve seen in the show so far. He’s a wild card within the universe. A trump card. but I mean theres two jokers in most decks. A red and a black one. balance and all that. If we go with Hatter being the joker then obviously its Aguni. but then I didnt go for hatter so fuck that. I think Chishiya would be the other joker. Their both working for the same thing, both playing off each other in diffrent ways and both great at the same games ( although both will deny being good at heart games). In the end I could only ever see those two ‘beating’ borderland. how they’d do it would be diffrent but they’d do it together or not.
their the trump cards in the deck that is borderland. or maybe I’m really fucking sleepdeprived and lowkey havent had a coherent thought in like 2 weeks and am trying not to post about Hatter being a furry. its probally that one. eitehr way I want a joker game and I want it to be heart breaking.

trans Fabian is rotting my brain rn and its just ???? perfect. him finding out his parents wrote him down a boy and being ecstatic and then realise oh shit I'm dorming with cisboy and panicking to the point he drags his massive suitcase all the way back to the gate in hopes of god randomly sending his parents back to pick him up ( they don't and victor ends up pissed at him and definitely makes a comment or two about him being a whimp but trudy is the girlboss she is and comforts him thinking he’s just homesick). Anyway he walks into his room finally and sees the man the myth the legend, Mick whos got sports gear everywhere and a massive Smile who rushes in to give him a hug because he's stoked about this to have a brother at this school and Fabian thinks for a moment that actually maybe this is going to go well. and it does go well because Micks epic and when he finds out Fabian is trans dude doesn't know what that means he just sorta goes “....we’re still roommates right?” because he couldn't care less what his friend is as long as Fabian is his friend.
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.
Hatter wears a Burger King crown as his proclamation of being the ruler of the beach.
When a new person is raised to executive status he also does like the having them kneel at his feet and does the shoulder tap on either side with like a mop handle.
He has a beach chair for a thrown near the pool and no ones allowed to sit in it. You know it’s his becuse it has a #1 sprayed onto ut messily
Head cannon that Hatter just sorta refuse to drink out of normal cups so he drinks outa sippy cups. He has no reason to its just funny to be a tyrant (sorta) who drinks out of a sippy cup
heres how I think some of the characters draw except I cant draw so you only get written descriptions Arisu: He draws only Furry au’s of characters and so he furry-a-fys everything. the sun? the sunrays look like the classic furry art fur. A rose? the leaves are ears. It started as a joke but now he cant stop Karube: He draws in the early marvel comic art style. mainly women but sometimes men. he also draws a fantastic penis that you’d find on the back of a school chair. got the ball hair and jizz and everything. Chouta: he has two styles. either Michelangelo type shit OR the gravity falls art style.
Aguni: You know police sketch artist sketches? yeah he does that for a lot of random people he saw in games. he cant draw anything else and cant really draw bodies but the face always looks great
Hatter: a 5 year old got access to crayons and scribbled on the walls their nightmares. OR pasta art.
Kuina: she's not great at drawing however she can do astonishing calligraphy using pretty much any medium so go her.
Usagi: she's good at drawing landscapes in great detail capturing the lighting and scaling quite quickly as she’d do it whilst hiking and climbing. drawing people? ehhh a stickman is all your gonna get
Chishya : he can draw the body incredibly well. he copied so many diagrams down he's basically a master and can now only draw in that sorta very accurate kinda over detailed for most people . He also can draw skulls so well of any animal mainly cuss their cool.
i cannot BELIEVE they're dragging hugh jackman's corpse back into the marvel movies after promising like 50 times that this really is his last movie guys i promise no more wolverine guys he's not gonna be back again i swear. all so he can have gay sex with deadpool
Arisu: so yeah in ancient greece and Rome they’d read the entrails of thier blood sacrifice to predict the future
Usagi: facinating
Chishiya: I wonder what my guts would predict Arisu: I would prefer not to see your guts? please and thank you<3
Chishiya: just for that heart Kuina come chop me open your gonna read the future
hatter is just the personification of the muffin song and Arisu is the personification of the muffin itself and everyone else is done with their shit
idk if this even make sense but it does to me
it’s always “your redemption is something you have to work towards for the rest of your life” and never “how was the unhinged spiral into evil? the unhinged spiral into evil looked fun”
