15. The Rules of the Game.

This episode was a real mixed bag. I feel like with some of these episodes I have a very short attention span with them, especially when the Hatter and Hare number falls so early.

I had a hard time deciding what to draw for this episode at first. I planned to draw something for Caterpillar's very odd paddleball number, but then he started pummeling Alice with woeballs and and I felt like the decision was made for me. (Also it was another reason to draw the Caterpillar, who I really struggle with.)

“I think of when I was in high school in the 1940s: the white girls got their hair crinkled up by chemicals and heat so it would curl, and the black girls got their hair mashed flat by chemicals and heat so it wouldn’t curl. Home perms hadn’t been invented yet, and a lot of kids couldn’t afford these expensive treatments, so they were wretched because they couldn’t follow the rules, the rules of beauty.

“Beauty always has rules. It’s a game. I resent the beauty game when I see it controlled by people who grab fortunes from it and don’t care who they hurt. I hate it when I see it making people so self-dissatisfied that they starve and deform and poison themselves. Most of the time I just play the game myself in a very small way, buying a new lipstick, feeling happy about a pretty new silk shirt.

“One rule of the game, in most times and places, is that it’s the young who are beautiful. The beauty ideal is always a youthful one. This is partly simple realism. The young are beautiful. The whole lot of ’em. The older I get, the more clearly I see that and enjoy it.

“And yet I look at men and women my age and older, and their scalps and knuckles and spots and bulges, though various and interesting, don’t affect what I think of them. Some of these people I consider to be very beautiful, and others I don’t. For old people, beauty doesn’t come free with the hormones, the way it does for the young. It has to do with bones. It has to do with who the person is. More and more clearly it has to do with what shines through those gnarly faces and bodies.”

—Ursula K. Le Guin “The Wave of the Mind”

Book 479

Rules of the Game: The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of All the Major Sports of the World

Diagram Group

St. Martin’s Press 1990

This is a weird book, even for me, but it fits with my fondness for odd reference books. I’m convinced that one day it’ll be useful. Someday, I’m going to want to know what the hell shinty is, and how it’s played. Or bandy. Or korfball. Or the difference between rounders and softball. Or pool and English billiards. Apparently, Canadian 5-pin bowling is a thing. So is canoe polo. Or maybe I’m going to want to know how to tell a good synchronized swimming performance from a bad one. You never know. But I have the book for that day.

“How many mornings did it take before you decided you wanted me to fuck you?”

You nearly give yourself whiplash, turning your head in Daniel’s direction so quickly it’s a miracle you didn’t pull anything. He’s exactly where he’d been when you’d last looked at him, laying sprawled out in the dead center of his massive bed, one arm flung wide to lay across the top of the pillows he’s propped up against, the other bent at an angle, his phone held loosely in his hand, only now he’s not looking at it and is instead watching you.

There’s something about the angle his chin is tipped up at, just enough that the crown of his head rests against the headboard, and his neck is arched back, the tightly corded muscle of it on complete display and the strong lines of the tendons that run along the column of his throat forced into sharp relief, that’s infinitely more distracting than any mortal has the right to be.

But it's not just how Daniel’s holding himself that has you watching him back just as closely as he’s watching you, because there’s something to his eyes that’s just as enthralling, as entrancing, with a slightly narrowed look in your direction, zeroed in and focused but heavy lidded, in the way they always seem to get when there’s nights like tonight.

“What was that? I didn’t quite manage to catch what you asked-“

“I know you heard me, so don’t even try that.”

“Ask me again, I didn’t heard you right-“

“How many mornings did it take before you decided you wanted me to fuck you?

Alright, nominations for the Favourite Fictional Women are still open for 2 hours, here are the rules of the tournament:

RULES:

All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls

Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!

We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.

We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.

I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)

This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

Looking Back at the Books I Read in March 2023

Looking back at everything I read in March 2023 and briefly sharing my thoughts on those books.

This past month started with a reading slump. I couldn’t concentrate on reading. Every time I tried, I got maybe one chapter in before getting bored or completely unfocused. Not to mention, I spent a lot of time writing and playing video games. With that being said, I did manage to read some books. Though not as many as I usually do. And most of those were read in the second half of March. So,…

Instagram messed up real bad this morning. They are now on my s*t list with Facebook. A three-year project; they decided to mess up (and then had the audacity to block people for no reason today, I just learned). Some of these sites need a lesson they will never forget. But in the meantime, everything will return to Tumblr (who has blocking problems of their own, but not as bad as the other two).

Coming Soon to Tumblr: the highly-acclaimed comedy webisodic (from the creators of @thesecretofthehouseofbourbonbook and the writer of “Elena Post Comics” that started on Instagram until they decided to suspend it for some reason, “I à XIV: Life in My Court”.

FAAFO. 😁 Hashtag: Rules of the Game.

So I had a weird dream and it involved bedroom baseball? Requirements? A hard penis, pingpong ball and a lit room? Rules and rewards to be worked out later? You might have some good ideas?

HARDball™

I think we'd have to establish some rules, for sure. Attire? Naked, but hats allowed (of course). I'm not sure base hits, ground-rule doubles, or fouls matter that much. It's really all about the home run, right? If he hits the wall behind the headboard, he gets to slide into home ;)

The best part? You know the whole 'three strikes and you're out' rule? Nah. Not in this game...

It's three strikes and he eats you out 😈
