beccaelizabethThe last few days I have been mostly reading short stories, mostly by Seanan McGuire.
The apple books on my phone can sell me things I couldnt figure out how to get on paper, so I have read Many short things.
They are all good, because Seanan, but also read so many in a row and I feel like either she is having The Most Fun or needs The Most Hugs, somehow socially distanced. She has themes and while it is neat she makes me understand why anyone would be in a demon raising cult (kickstarter the eternal Halloween!) it is not conventionally comfortable. ... I was going to write it is not comforting, but you know, it actually kind of is, for Autumn people. So.
But if you neither want to be turned into disquieting things nor want to Show Them All with world ending Science!... less comfortable.
Probably all possible in one of those humans get really good at genetic engineering futures the SF books are fond of. That future is going to be fully weird, because mermaids like Seanan's are actually plausible, and once they're possible people will definitely get changed into them, and then you realise that goes for all number of things. Like, humans think up the full Bestiary, all the volumes thereof, but also, they think of being them.
... I don't think I want the water. I always play a human, because I'm allowed. But... so many ways to be awesome...
So, that's my last few days.
Imagining disquieting teeth.
