True which is why the synths matter in my opinion
Iām thinking that I can probably pull off writing another first person POV story.
Though I will be telling the story through a character worlds different from Aeris.
I have to redo chapters 5 and 6 again. Didnāt like it at all, was not vibing with those chapters. Far too early for those chaptersā¦sorta.

I watched a reconstruction performance of ancient Greek music
Yes I know about the FNAF movie 2 releasing today.
No, I am not in any hurry to watch it. I plan to wait and see the reactionsāthe general audience was quite mixed on the first one, after all.
Iām writing a fight scene and as much as I think I know what Iām doing, I donāt know what Iām doing.
Though I am happily vibing with the chapter.
I want to write something really macho and gay, and probably not for people who like soft boys or college/YA romances. I rarely see older gay people (middle aged and up) in general represented in a lot of modern media.
thonkin thoughts
Iām done with rewriting chapter five for Project Succession.
Going out to get a snack
My menstrual is on and Iām feeling it.
I thought Iād get back into reading SFF so I picked up Foundation by Isaac Asimov⦠and uh I hate it. Wtf Iām a hundred pages in and not a single woman has appeared on the page. Not even in the background. And itās not like women donāt exist in this universe; theyāre literally half the population! Itās textbook patriarchy, and Asimov wasnāt trying to say anything about gender dynamics or how āhistory is written by menā.
Iām sick and baffled by it. Iāve seen people defend it saying it was written in the 1940ās so it was a different time and it was made for a younger male audience. Okay, but that doesnāt explain the absolute lack of women in the book. Didnāt women exist in the 1940ās? And then they go on to say that itās about the establishment of a frontier and thereās war and politics or whatever. Youāre telling me that war & politics is incongruous with āwomanhoodā? And then they say itās āsatireā, which no itās not. This is patriarchy my guy. I hate it here.
Iāve come to understand science fiction has very little to do with science or the future or possibilities. Itās just a reflection of the time itās written in, and Foundation, whether intentionally or not, reflects all the worst qualities of that.
Now that Foundation pissed you off, what is your next read?
Iām reading The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates. Havenāt read any of her millions of books but this is a start. I donāt know much about it, I believe itās a gothic novel ![]()
Iām here as the bearer of bad news. Isaac Asimov wrote a guide for dirty old men to creep on younger women. It is actually titled something along the lines of āHow to be a Dirty Old Manā.
And while we are here, Arthur C. Clarke was likely a pedophile and lived in Sri Lanka, a haven for NAMBLA members.
I donāt feel like writing right now.
I should probably read a damned book.
Not looking to be inspired per se, I just need to get back into a reading habit.
The only time I have for reading at the moment is right before bed. Itās an excellent way to get sleepy! So I get some reading in and get a good nightās sleep too. (*ļ¼¾-ā) ä¹
