Gay women are allowed to do whatever

“she blew up a planet” okay and? your homophobia is showing

Lesbians can’t blow up the planet, that’s evil. No MATTER their sexual orientation.

No it’s fine

you were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, so was I, that’s how we met

both of us were paying our way through blade school

we weren’t partying exactly, just serving drinks

Something that threw me off knowing The Locked Tomb’s reputation was that the pun lines were delivered straight, like the “studied the blade” bit was actually in the context of Gideon’s swordsmanship training

when people say taylor is ruthless they’re kind of right, but it’s not so clear as that

baru, on the other hand,,

As I had Veronica say when I wrote a Veronica Mars spec, she “suffers from a congenital lack of ruth”

Nona the Ninth is out!

The Locked Tomb (and #lesbian space atrocities in general) is some of the first synthesis culture – the stuff, rather than either combatant side, that’s gonna come out of this culture war’s dust cloud) I’ve been seeing

Proposed: Lesbian Space Atrocities are just femdom seeping into the mainstream via queer genre weak points

Seriously if I knew this shit was about willingness to sacrifice your life for a broad multidisciplinary world-conquering plot moe anthropomorphized as a girl I would have got to finishing Gideon the Ninth a lot sooner

Remembered you can buy books on Amazon, and with my current pattern being getting out from 3 to 6 and then needing to occupy myself before sleep I ordered a set of the basic Lesbian Space Atrocity canon: Traitor Baru Cormorant, Gideon the Ninth (I think I left my original copy in San Diego), Memory Called Empire, and Ancillary Justice

I am the opposite of an apologist. I get personally offended if you pretend my faves didn’t do horrible things. If you can’t accept them at their worst then RIP to you but I’m stronger.

Gideon the Ninth: pretty good so far! Definitely doing the lesbian equivalent of that “to establish that a character is gay, have their narrative voice notice male characters’ hands” thing.

Hey, what’s the Lesbian Space Atrocity canon? Locked Tomb, Baru Cormorant, what else? I want to pick up a book tomorrow for my flight on Tuesday.

Looked like they had no Muir, Dickinson, Martine, or Leckie and I was going to have to settle for His Majesty’s Dragon, but then I found Gideon the Ninth on the “new in paperback” table

is “queer woman participates in atrocities” really that big of a SF subgenre right now, or are my mutuals all just weirdos?

The answers are split between “yes, absolutely”, “yes, kinda” and “what?” so I’ll take that as positive
