It suuuch a bummer that the sex scene is so... traditional? Like if you have a lady knight and a male mage do you not even want to play around a bit with their exchange of power? Feels like the story is afraid to make Grey too dominant or masculine in general sadly. Their mutual bisexuality feels so unintegrated into THEIR relationship.

I really wish this felt a bit more playful with gendered tropes

You’re either in this for the murder castle or you’re in this for the world’s fair and while I think it would be edgier to be the former, I am certainly the latter.

I think it’s impossible for me to like a protagonist who describes ALL plays as boring but loves Dear Evan Hansen.

I feel like the character has described herself as sunshiney and/or optimistic about 25 times in the first five chapters and I reeeeeeally hope the whole book isn't like this.

"I shot through my twenties like a luminous thread through a dark needle, blazing towards my destination: nowhere."

"I feel like I'll let people down If I take away the behaviour they've grown accustomed to disapproving of."

I love Carrie Fisher's writing, it's pure acid (in more ways than one).

listen up william s. burroughs i can see you actively trying to make me put this book down and i refuse. i will finish your fucked up book if it kills me just to spite you.

I cannot describe what a turn-off it is for a playwright character to say "old plays bore me."

"The world goes crazy every three or four decades. The trick is to survive until it goes sane again." Oof.

I am not interested in 'can women be heroes?' but rather 'how do women **access** heroism uniquely.' But so far the discussion feels a bit dated--the Penelopiad came out 20 years ago, and we are currently buried in Madeline Miller-style retellings of myths from female perspectives, so pointing out that some modern stories are more interested in female interiority just doesn't seem all that novel.

Using this as a placeholder for the one-act play DISNEY/FUJIKAWA by Lloyd Suh that imagines a wartime conversation between Walt Disney and Gyo Fujikawa.
