Yes!! this is something I never knew the name for but which made playing zelda such a joy. My girlfriend played BOW through before we met, and then once we were dating introduced me to the game and watched me play. She was consistently shocked by choices I would make and found that we had played the game in drastically different ways. I thought it was so neat to get to explore how differently we approach problems (and life) through playing this game together!

Great read!! I recently took a queer sci fi class in which the professor referred to Frankenstein as early queer sci fi because it is a male birth fantasy and because of the scene where the creature is on top of the hill wondering how he could be so alone in the world (a queer thought, indeed, and very relatable for us queers who grew up in a small town). I also love Philip K Dick & recently read Ubik (amazing!). Highly recommend it!

It’s crazy to think about how quickly I can read compared to how slowly I write. If there was a reading event like this I bet I could read like 10 novels in a month but trying to write a single novel in a month seems excruciating to me. I’m such a slow writer because I need a couple hours to daydream and stare at the page before I feel in the dreamy state enough to write.
