The unending racist, furry nightmare of Save The Pearls just doesn’t end
Here’s a two hour video on the very infamous self-published ‘Save The Pearls’ YA dystopia books- a summary and exploration of very horny piggyback rides, unsettling furries, and profound racism. The text version is linked above as well. Also, straight up: did you know there’s a book trailer for this book? Did you know the book trailer literally has an actress in blackface? It’s in the video and it is an absolute jumpscare. This whole book is just. The WILDEST, WEIRDEST thing
Listen listen is the Percy Jackson show making changes so big that even me with my horrible little memory is noticing - yes Do I care - absolutely not I'm still enjoying the show and the changes so far have just helped keep me on my toes bc wtf do you mean Percy has 4 pearls?!?? What do you mean the summer solstice has happened?!!? What is going on I need to know !!!!
'When he was little, Leo was saved by a hero, now Leo wants to be a hero too. But why does the world suddenly feel so strange? and this turtle so... Familiar?'
Welcome to my new AU! AKA The Utena AU, I've been revisiting this anime lately, and god I think it's better than the last time I saw it, super recommended for anyone interested.
Anyway, basically this AU came about as a way of coping after reading Doth (Yeah, yeah, what a surprise) for anyone who doesn't know The Dawning of the hour, is a fic series written by @thedawningofthehour where Draxum kidnaps Donnie and stuff.... happen. Anyway, they still haven't reached the happy ending and I need a way to deal with it, and after watching a video analysis of utena I came up with a way to do it.
Here is some of the characters desings!
I will still update Family Chaos AU, because if @tangledinink can handle multiple AUs so can I, also, it's not fair that they and @beannary are the only ones to draw the boys in fancy suits! just look at their work! it's so cool!! I want too!!!
For those of you who have seen Utena, you know that things can get... Disturbing, with respect to the relationships of certain characters, so obviously that aspect will not be transferred to the AU, you can ask more about it if you want.
I will be updating more on this very soon, so stay tuned if you are interested!
