I Am Spock | Leonard Nimoy

“I'm only human, and I have no doubt Spock will outlive me by many years. I can only hope that, once in a while, when people look at Spock's visage, they might sometimes think of me.”

The_Book_Ninja Of the two Spocks, Mister, was my fave.🖖🏼 3d

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja Imagine having Mister as your midwife! "It is illogical to scream as that will not entice your baby to be delivered any more quickly. Pain is in the mind, and the mind can be controlled. Why are you throwing a bedpan at me?" 3d

Book of Bill | Alex Hirsch

pick

A book for all Gravity Falls fans. I can't really decide on the age group this was intended for. Some lines are rather grown-up, some pages seem more for a child like audience. It drags a little in the middle, but it gets better at the end. Nicely made, eclectic and of course very much Bill Cipher.

The Twilight Man Rod Serling and the Birth of Television | Koren Shadmi

pick

An autobiographical story of Rod Serling‘s life and career as a writer which coincided with the growth of television. A truly fascinating tale with a nice Twilight Zone twist at the end. Definitely a read for writers and those looking for something different from the world of graphic novels.

Story 4.5 / 5
Art 3.5 / 5
Overall 8 / 10 - A interesting, compelling biography.

Whedonistas!: A Celebration of the Worlds of Joss Whedon by the Women Who Love Them | Lynne M. Thomas, Deborah Stanish

I just went down such a rabbit hole after learning that Seanan McGuire 1) found her agent through writing Buffy fanfic, & 2) genuinely despises the ending of the series.

NOW. I have plenty of complaints about Buffy. But the ending was never one of them. Any other superfans want to weigh in?

I may have bought a book just to read her essay about it.

Note: Don‘t worry! I bought it used. Because, ew, Joss Whedon.

willaful I was a big fan at one time and was pretty happy with the ending. I'm curious now too. 1mo

monalyisha @willaful The most I can find is a Goodreads quote, “The mythology warped and twisted back along itself until Buffy Summers, the girl who once railed against the unfairness of being Chosen, looked at a squadron of girls who were just like she‘d been and took away their right to Choose.” 1mo

willaful Ah, yes I can understand that point of view. It's presented as entirely a positive in the show, and you can argue that Buffy's pov has changed with age and that she's giving them something she mostly didn't have -- each other. 1mo

AnneCecilie I liked that ending, but I had a completely different understanding off it. I took it to mean that every girl had the inner strength to be a slayer and stand up for herself 1mo

TheLudicReader I didn‘t hate the ending of Buffy. (My complaint has always been how they jumped the shark with Spike.) Curious to know what the author‘s fanfic handle was as I wrote a lot of fanfic back in the day and was pretty well connected to fandom. 1mo

monalyisha @willaful @AnneCecilie Yes! I viewed it as such a hopeful and beautiful example of the redistribution of power (and its decentralization)! Context is incredibly important. Community vs. isolation means so much. I didn‘t get the impression that every new Slayer would be forced into servitude, either. I bet McGuire feels even more passionately about her interpretation (which she‘s entitled to!) after the allegations against Joss came to light. 1mo

monalyisha @TheLudicReader Unfortunately, she removed her name from all of it after people started critiquing it like they would her published writing. I‘m not sure that info‘s findable anymore. I wouldn‘t recognize your handle (I was too young and my memory‘s too shoddy)…but I wonder if I read any of your stuff back in the day! I know McGuire specifically wrote Buffy/Faith fanfic. 1mo

willaful @monalyisha @AnneCecilie Yes, well put.

1mo

TheLudicReader @monalyisha I don‘t think fic writers should be ashamed of what they wrote. It‘s great practice and I wrote stuff I am still really proud of. It sucks that Whedon tainted Buffy‘s legacy, but this is one instance where I separate art from artist. There were a lot of other people involved in the Buffyverse, too. Where did you read your fanfic when you read it? 1mo

monalyisha @TheLudicReader I truly have no idea. I was about 13. To me, it was all just “the internet.” 😅 I know I was a big fan of the Angel/Willow “ours is a forbidden love” storyline. To be clear, this pairing horrifies me now. 🙈 (As do many aspects of the show if I look at them too closely.) At the time, my thinking went no further than, “Angel is hot...and I am like Willow.” Reason enough for me! (edited) 1mo

TheLudicReader @monalyisha Angel is hot is the reason I started watching that show in the first place. 🤣 The next ten years I was full on fandom! 1mo

monalyisha @TheLudicReader Recapping the moment that he returned from Hell (in the nude), my bff‘s older sister‘s bff commented, “He was glistenin‘ like a Greek God!” That moment is forever seared into my brain. 😂 (edited) 1mo
