"The Tale of Wude’s Heavenly Tribulation by Count E - 4/5

This was good! Fair warning this does feature some fatphobia, but I believe that was the reflection of the character's beliefs than the author's. But that aside, it read like a classic fable that one would find in a collection of fairy tales. Very entertaining and charming :)"

Cat Sebastian
“His hair, which had been wheat blond during childhood, was now the dark ash blond of driftwood, and his eyes were the dangerous gray of the North Sea but sometimes, rarely, flecked with the shifting blues of sea glass. It seemed so strange that Will had only learned these things after traveling thousands of miles away from Martin, but now he couldn’t look at his friend without thinking of the ocean. It was as if his mind had taken the source of all his nightmares and mapped it onto the face of the person he loved best, as if to remind him that maybe the sea wasn’t all bad.”
Cat Sebastian, Two Rogues Make a Right

Susan Abulhawa
“Abandoning the imposition of a calendar helped me understand that time isn’t real; it has no logic in the absence of hope or anticipation. The Cube is thus devoid of time. It contains, instead, a yawning stretch of something unnamed, without present, future, or past, which I fill with imagined or remembered life.”
Susan Abulhawa, Against the Loveless World

Cat Sebastian
“Martin snorted. It shouldn’t be funny. There was nothing funny about what happened to Will, and only in his darker moods did Martin find much humor in his own predicament. But still he was laughing, and when he looked over, saw that Will was smiling, one hand over his mouth. It felt like —he couldn’t think of anything less theatrical than miracle—that they were standing here, alive, relatively well in mind and body, and laughing about everything that had happened.”
Cat Sebastian, Two Rogues Make a Right

“Bianchi’s landmark paper on microchimerism describes pregnancy as enacting a ‘long-term, low-grade chimeric state in the human female’. From the moment I was pregnant, I didn’t just feel different. I was different. I am different. On a cellular level. I would never be singular again.”
Lucy Jones, Matrescence: On the Metamorphosis of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood

Susan Abulhawa
“I read that blue whales are the largest creatures ever to roam our planet, as long as thirty meters and weighing up to 173,000 kilograms. They have intricate social lives and complex languages. Hunted to near extinction. Less than a few thousand remained before whaling restrictions were introduced, but whalers continue to serve a black market, and these majestic creatures might disappear from the world. I often wondered what it's like to be a whale. To be the biggest creature on earth, still vulnerable to a small man’s greed.”
Susan Abulhawa
