Fake news, the Sidhe are firmly established as spooky adjacent, if not spooky native, people’s (depending on the degree of Tuatha pilled you are). Reject woo and embrace superstition
Eeww, this is fomor propaganda. The Aos Si are true rightful inheritors of the tuatha, who descend from the nemed ( the righteous rulers of the isle),
The Halloween front making the meager demand of ending the occupation of October is a failure of solidarity. We must support the most vulnerable among us of any of us are to be free.
Liberation means a return to bacchanalia, nothing less.
Absolute liberalism.
The War Against Christmas will not end until every last elf-slave stands freed from the chains into which the Klaus regime has bound them. :JB-shining-aggro:
The lgbt community's love of Halloween is a powerful calendar bulwark and the only thing preventing Christmas bullshit from absorbing October and even September.
Samhain is the only remaining bulwark against the forces of Christmas from overrunning October and even September. The aes sídhe are our most important soldiers in this fight, and are needed on the great walls that protect early autumn. We need soldiers like you to end the illegal occupation of November and send Klaus' forces running for the tundra.
Read theory, the scholar Jim Butcher has established convincing links between Klaus and the Erlkonig (less reputable aka “established” theories in his works make it clear that he is also the god formerly known as Odin)
The Unseelie Accords are a sham and should be abolished. If the Fomor eschew that paltry document so should the sídhe in their War on Christmas.
The inability to deal with the donor using established convention by the magical bourgeoisie probably opens up our favorite slightly problematic wizard with unusually catholic sympathies to a class based reading of the work.
As the only other private wizard fan I’ve met here, how do you personally reconcile the, uh, chauvinistic trends within the series with (IMO at least) clearly well-meaning and (not if, the “and” is clear) ignorant nature of the authors views.
Can’t wait for the WWE book and evil bob book
I think it's two fold. The first is that it's significantly, incredibly better now than it was like twelve books ago or whatever, so he's clearly learning. The second is that the books are told from Dresden's POV, so I think it's easy to hand wave away these chauvinistic trends as Dresden rather than Butcher being chauvinistic. Granted I don't think that's entirely the case and it's pretty obvious that Dresden is in a lot of ways just a cardboard insert for Butcher's views on things, but unreliable narrator and taking the biases of the one doing the narration are an easy way to pretend it doesn't matter.
Agreed though I fucking love this series and it's like popcorn to me. I'm usually a pretty heavy Literary Reader but Dresden scratches an itch. It's like the MCU in book form but actually creative and not just cookie-cutter repetitions of the same thing over and over again.
Never heard of that book but on briefly reading up on it seems fantastic. Right now I'm reading a book by my beloved Bernhard called Wittgenstein's Nephew in his trademark ranting style and it's superb. I've been on a bit of a Central European kick recently, so a lot of Bernhard, Kafka, Arno Schmidt, Daša Drndić, and László Krasznahorkai. What kind of books do you jam with?
I saw a chistmans movie on halmark on halloween. It was literally only four hours into the day after haloween.
So I immediately started looking up how to 3d print guns
I got Christmas ads even in September, well before Halloween :agony-consuming:
Honestly Christmas could be a nice folksy holiday about sitting around a fire place with your family drinking hot chocolate and having a good time.
But noooo, we have to make it this uber-capitalist holiday that everyone fucking stresses over for two whole months.
Under communism Christmas will be cool.
I was just thinking two days ago how cool Halloween could be if it were more authentic to its roots and not commercialized. The tacky plastic shit everywhere ruins it.
ha ha! I've narrowed you down to one of millions of Canadians who use he/him pronouns.
Fighting the war on Christmas by refusing to take my Halloween decorations down until new year's day
The Spooky Liberation Front will be victorious in our protracted people's war against the colonialist Klaus regimereject protestant consumerist Yuletide, embrace Papist drunken Christmas. 12 days long at the end/start of the year, plenty of oranges for the kids. In fact, hand over the property of Christmas to old Catholic Traditions, and formal december will be yielded to Saturnalia, allowing better relations with the spirits of all Hallow's Eve.
Yuletide is pagan. Bring back the blot but :im-vegan:
I've seen what catholics do during "christmas" and I will have none of it! celebrating it in january, eating cakes with plastic toys in them, hanging decorations of baby jesus everywhere, worshiping three wizard dudes (ok this last part is pretty cool)
bro the pagan festival was on the table, just turn over Christmas from any and all protestant allegiances and you'll get your feasting and whatnot.
Every elf on every shelf is an enemy of the people. These are not factory elves, these are Klause's running dogs. All shelf elves are bastards. Fuck the one your uncle got you.
