“The effect of this cannot be understood without being there. The beauty of it cannot be understood, either, and when you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you.”
— 📚Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer // 🎞 Annihilation, Alex Garland (2018)
Trying to read more fiction and the Autism and Queerness and Transcendent nature of these books truly has me in a chokehold. Like there’s something so liberating in The Weird, the eco and the body horror, the undefinable, The transcendent nature of area x ugh

You like Annihilation in a "ooo creepy wilderness" way, I like Annihilation in a neurodivergent "I can relate to the biologist and I would also feel a weird sense of belonging in Area X and then proceed to be found in a parking lot" way

Daily Drawing February 3/29.
“Stitching through the sky, in a terrifying way—rippling, diving, rising again, and there came a terrible whispering that pierced not his ears but all of him, as if small particles of something physical had shot through him. He cursed, frozen there, watching, afraid.”
Excerpt from Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer, the third book in the Southern Reach Series- my favorite books of all time 💚 the imagery and description of the unfathomable things that exist and happen in Area X is just so good, I have been trying to finish fanart for it for a long time- but it's so hard to do the source justice.

Please no spoilers for the film or the books, but I just have to say I’ve been reading the Southern Reach novel series which is what the movie Annihilation is based on and it very quickly has become a favorite trilogy of mine. I don’t read as often as I’d like (mostly because I’m very busy) but this series has fucking CAPTIVATED me.
Not only is it incredibly well written with great prose and an interesting narrative, but the big brain way that Jeff Vandermeer has strung this series together so far is brilliant. Not only do we have the suspense, which was always present in the first novel, but the way the second novel is set up leaves the reader feeling like they’re in on a secret that not everyone in the book knows and it just keeps you on your toes.
It’s so unique and interesting and I can’t put it down. I’ll also mention that it’s a fairly easy read with a reasonably challenging vocabulary and you can probably finish the series within a few days if you read straight through. I can’t recommend it enough, even if you’ve already watched the movie.

[ID: Jeff Vandermeer's facebook status: "A school distinct in Texas has banned Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance as porn. Lollll. End ID.]
quick hurry in the tags what's the sexiest scene in the trilogy for you
mine's when the biologist's husband comes home and pours the milk all over himself

interesting note about the chapter breaks in authority, the 4 parts of the book each do chaptering differently.
in part one (incantations) all chaptering is done in the traditional way:
the page before has white space and the new chapter begins on the next.
in part two (rites), chapters start beginning without white space:
the chapter title just marks the change without a break in the text. there are still traditional chapter breaks, though
in part three (hauntings) it switches to be exclusively the second kind of chapter break and now every chapter is just a continuous stretch of prose without white space to break between them.
in part four (afterlife), chapters are gone.
very interesting! what does this mean? i don't know. im guessing it shows the ways control is losing control over his life and therefore over the structure of the narrative as well

"The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit..."
Annihilation (2018) dir. Alex Garland
