Foto d'un dibuix de boli negre sobre paper blanc. Un ésser antropomòrfic dibuixat a cos complet. Plantat. . Està nu, i totalment cobert de pelatge. Té cames curtes bastant animals i braços molt humans llargs, a més d'un tercer parell d'extremitats: ales membranoses que té plegades al seu voltant com si vestira una capa. Té una cara molt humana, encara que peluda com la d'un animal. Té una boca menuda i apretada, galtes magres de pòmuls marcats, orelles de bèstia i uns ulls molts grans amb grans pupil·les per a vore en la nit Foto d'un dibuix de boli negre sobre paper blanc. És una cara d'un individu de la mateixa espècie que l'anterior, per a vore-la amb més detall, amb les seues dents incisives afilades i els seus grans iris d'animal. Al costat hi ha dibuixada una cria, que no té gens de pèl en el cos excepte uns flocs de pèl fosc llarg als costats del crani, com un uelo amb alopècia. La seua boca és com de ratolinet, els seus ulls protuberants tenen les parpelles totalment tancades, la seua pell està molt arrugada, i les seues extremitats són minúscules i inútils Foto d'un dibuix de boli negre sobre paper blanc. Cara d'un humà, a qui se li entreveu el coll de la camisa baix de tot. La seu característica física més distintiva és que té una curta capa de vellut cobrint-li tota la pell. Tot el coll, tota la cara. A part d'aixa capa li destaca una grossa cella única i un lleu bigot i pereta.

He dibuixat Kradgy el Shing, de la Ciutat de les Il·lusions.
Un antagonista queercoded?? 🤔
Foto d'un dibuix en boli negre sobre paper blanc. Una persona a cos complet. Te una melena solta negra que li arriba fins a la cintura. És alt i es pot intuir que és de constitució atlètica, encara que no es pot saber segur perquè va tapat de coll a peus amb una extranya túnica futurista d'estampat estrident i costures estranyes

Even though this was one of Le Guin's earliest works, it reads incredibly well—and her writing only improves from here. I love the descriptions and the character insights. Everything that happens leads to another piece of story. It feels very rewarding.

I guess I should introduce myself? I’m old enough to have used livejournal as social media and I just want a place to talk about my ships and obsessions. I miss sharing unselfconsciously online. Currently preoccupied with #realmoftheelderlings , currently reading the #hainishcycle

As much as I like #StarTrek, I agree that the Prime Directive is kind of a very dumb source of tension. Proven by the fact it usually feels morally justified to break it so often.

I have similar frustrations with Le Guin’s ekumen from her #hainishCycle series.

Noch im alten Jahr erstaunliches Leseerlebnis mit dem schönen Sammelband der frühen #hainishcycle Romane von #ursulakleguin . Gegen meine Erwartung sind diese Novellen ziemlich im Geist der #swordandsorcery . Leigh Bracketts Marsnovellen hatten mich vor einiger Zeit gekriegt; auch hier: viel […]

I think #yearofleguinn (that I started on my other account before I deleted it under duress) was a stupid thing to embark on because Ive gone so fast I can't distinguish one book from the other in memory, especially #hainishcycle

Onward in my #yearofleguinn

Finished the #hainishcycle early last month and took a short break, now onto #earthsea books and didn't know I needed dragons and wizards in my life.

Thank God for reading fantasy with my specs off and my phone downstairs at bedtime 🙏✨
