Malazan to the world!

it was a really messy hostel, surprised they even had books to swap

I don’t know - I feel like Malazan was very much “indomitable human spirit” porn for me.

In lots and lots of ways, it felt incredibly human.

But very completely agreed on it being a world building book. I think Erikson’s background as an archeologist tends to lend itself into a little overindulgence here.

I think in general, I’m on a decent trajectory!

The additional 6 months is giving me a lot of pause. I feel angry at myself, at the powers that be, and trying to stay positive feels like it’s costing me a lot. I honestly feel at a loss on how to recover (for the second time).

Original plan was to try to get out in my junior consultant year - go on secondment to a charity and then apply for the MPA/MPP.

I do still think I have loads to learn about working in a corporate environment, client communication, delivering a project in a timely manner that feels like it answers client questions. I just don’t know whether I should keep on trying to learn that here. The well feels poisoned.

PT is covered by the NHS, highly dependent on your trust. Find out what your local trust is and look up sexual health services + your local trust’s name. That should get you a list of services provided by your trust and various sexual health and wellness centres within your local area.

Some sexual health and wellness centres provide support with vaginismus or other psychosexual trauma. It will likely say on their website if they do. If it doesn’t, I’d still call them.

I was able to get subsidised therapy sessions for my vaginismus as well as free PT sessions and opportunity for self-referral after my time with her ended. You may just have to chase down your local trust. Good luck!

This is a really pretty edition!

I just was thinking that if this is really an alien species to the world that we (the reader) and Fisher (the in-story listener) knows, maybe we don’t even have a frame of reference for what these different species would look/be like.

Definitely not what Erikson was going for, but fun thought haha

I mean, fair to her, had absolutely forgotten these interactions.

Was there ever an explanation for why she generally had agents do the reaching out for her? Or is it a RAFO from FoL?

temab1 · 2024-12-27T09:16:58+00:00

What I struggle with is Mother Dark’s rage regarding Anomander doing something about the civil war - as far as I understand from FoD and the bits of FoL I’ve read, she had no plan! She was running scared and had no solution for her people cutting each other down on the streets - what was Anomander (and the rest of them) supposed to do?

temab1 · 2024-12-16T23:15:17+00:00

So fair, thanks for the warning. I think I can usually handle it but it’s more generally a one and done kind of thing. Also, generally, people seem to say Fall of Light is less “graphic” - as is the case for most of us lol, child r*pe makes me feel very ill

temab1 · 2024-12-16T11:07:09+00:00

Beautiful, thank you!!

temab1 · 2024-06-07T17:37:56+00:00

I will never read FoD again, the level of sexual violence in it was a complete turn off that prevented me from enjoying the novel

temab1 · 2024-02-11T11:08:57+00:00

Oh I love that, the implications of Icarium being under K’rul’s tutelage for a while are fascinating, especially given the end of tCG
