Blog post 07/11/22
Still deep into Hooked by you by Jessica Buss and The hunted by SB Alexander. Hopefully I’ll be done by the next couple of days.
I got a few books!
I got a code for Once upon a…, an audiobook collection by Claudia Burgoa. I also got a copy of the Wildheart duet by Murphy Wallace.
Also I signed up for an ARC of Irresistible trouble by Pippa Grant, and for an ALC of Temptation, the last book in…

there’s something so heartbreaking about the way that d20, especially fantasy high and the seven, talks about fatherhood. some of the lesser mentioned ones are just as heartbreaking as the characters who have it as their whole thing. like fig and fabian hit but
ostentatia and her dad and how he would give anything for her no matter how much it hurts him and her and how he refuses to let anyone do anything for him bc he’s the dad and the one who should be taking care of her.
katja and her dad and how he thought he was doing what was best for her by working all the time, thinking that was better than him being around when really all she wanted was to spend time with him.
riz and his dad and how he idolises him and works through that moment of doubting his father and gets that time with him and it’s so sweet despite how much it hurts them both because seeing him can only be temporary.
liam and his dad and being an afterthought to a father who has so much more to consider than a kid who wasn’t anything like what he thought he would be.
jet and ruby with amethar being a king who has even more to consider but never stopped loving and caring for them for a second and always wanted them to have the carefree and happy childhood he had as someone who never should have gotten the throne.
saccharina and amethar being a father who has so much regret piled on his shoulders but can’t do anything to heal the pain he brought to his daughter except by trying to show how much he loves her and is proud of her.
adaine and a father who didn’t care and jawbone, a father who does, who recognises the rage and pain and anxiety in adaine and never for a second shames her for any of it.
kristen and a father who loves what he wants her to be and can’t accept what she is.
kugrash trying to redeem himself for gabriella but more for his sons and the joy he feels when wally forgives him and the sorrow he feels when he reads davids letters and confronts even further the pain he caused.
kingston and the absolute dream of having langston after years of denying himself in the name of the rest of new york only to understand that happiness for him doesn’t mean no happiness for everyone else.
fathers and all the pain they can bring and all the care they can have and all that they experience too.

I looked up from the curb I was sitting on, still nursing my latest head injury and still mourning the fire damage and ash stains to the clothes I'd been forced to borrow from my brother. A tall man with dark skin, wearing firefighter gear and a resigned but irritated look was glaring down at me.
"Hey, Chief Boden. How's the family?"
A short response rumbled up from his chest. "Dresden."
I looked past him to the building his crew was still dealing with. "It's not my fault."
--
"Hank? Karrin Murphy to see you." Platt's voice came over the receiver from the front desk.
"Send her up."
A buzzing of a lock release and several terse footsteps across the Intelligence bullpen later, Voight shut the door to his office behind the petite blond woman. He walked around his desk, seated himself, and took out a bottle. He poured them each a small glass.
"So, you called me, Lieutenant. Was it just so you didn't drink alone, or can we get to the point?" She still took the glass.
A smile pulled at one side of Voight's face. "I knew your father, Collin, when he ran Special Investigations. Back when they called it the 'Black Cat Squad'."
"Mm."
"So I got a case my team's working that don't make no sense except the kind your father used to figure out. They're good cops, every one of 'em, but they're not ready for what's really out there. So I gotta ask you... how much are you like your father?"
--
"I want to thank you for taking the time to see me, Dr Charles." Michael Carpenter passed the man a paper plate laden with a burger and potato salad as he settled into the lawn chair next to him.
"Please, Michael, I'm off hours and this is as far off the books as you can get, call me Daniel." The older man inclined his head in thanks as he made an initial sampling of the food and collected his thoughts. "So, I gotta say, all the years of you being an Emergency Department regular, your stories about 'monsters' and 'triumph over evil' were a bit of a running joke if you'll forgive me for saying. Everyone in the E.D. just thought you had a great sense of humor about being at the center of misfortune so often, and were a bit of a storyteller."
"Never saw it as misfortune, just work that needed doing."
"Yeah, so Anthony tells me. I'll admit I was a little surprised to have him send someone my way as a patient, given that we're not exactly on the same page about the 'bigger' things in the world, so to speak."
Michael smiled, working on his own burger. "Father Forthill believes in the power of faith, but he also believes in putting our faith in trained professionals. So, how would you like to begin?"
"I usually find the beginning works best. Why don't you tell me about when you got that fancy toothpick of yours?" He nodded towards Amoracchius.

I was just thinking about this beautiful moment from an episode of Murphy Brown.
Marcia Wallace plays Carol, Murphy’s first competent Secretary ever. Murphy is so happy. In the tag, Bob Newhart comes in begging Carol to come back to the office as his secretary because they cannot live without her.
I’m a huge fan of The Bob Newhart Show, and loved Murphy Brown.
I think about this scene often.

The Quiet Earth (1985)
"We might not have been responsible. God may have just blinked."
"God blinked and the whole world disappeared. A world of noisy, brawling, wonderful human beings."
#the quiet earth#new zealand cinema#post apocalyptic film#1985#sci fi film#geoff murphy#craig harrison#bill baer#bruno lawrence#alison routledge#pete smith#anzac wallace#norman fletcher#tom hyde#sam pillsbury#john charles#i left a long rambling review of this on letterboxd that i can't (or won't) replicate here#suffice to say... a film very close to perfection. Bruno Lawrence (sincerely one of our best and most under appreciated actors) is maybe#both the last man alive as well as the person responsible for that. he meets up with two other survivors and there's standard genre#intrigues but this film is at its best when it focuses on Lawrence alone; a spectacular performance of intense loss‚ confusion#freedom and fear simultaneously. the scenes in which‚ driven near to madness by solitude‚ he dons a silk nightdress and picks up a shotgun#and goes looking for god are some of the most affecting‚ disturbing scenes within this post apocalyptic genre. the rest of the film once he#finds Routledge and Smith is somehow less satisfying (no reflection on two great actors) and a racial tension subtext is dealt with too#briefly and succinctly. but then the ending... you could read it as a profound and daring step in sci fi cinema or a dark‚ absurd joke#both readings have merit. a strange‚ fascinating‚ mercurial film. highly recommended with some caveats.#for more see letterboxd review idk
