saw someone promote a book with a collage of out of context negative reviews recently, and i thought it'd be fun to do for some of the older lgbt sci-fi books i've read - starting with: the fortunate fall (1996) by cameron reed (🧵) #books

The cover of The Fortunate Fall by Cameron Reed with various review fragments on it, reading:
"too philosophical and perhaps a bit too wistful."
"frankly inhumane,"
"Something about a conspiracy, blah blah, some very dramatic lesbian love story, yada yada and also a whale. I didn't really get it,"
"all that for a woke mind virus?"
"All too often, it reads like a poor translation of substandard Dostoevsky updated to the cyber era by a middling undergrad theology student."
"too much philosophy"
"I had no idea what was going on."

here she is 🫶 publicdomainreview.org/collection/e...

The original medieval illustration - a full-body drawing of a naked woman covered in almost hair-like long roots, with wavy, root-like fingers and toes, and with a plant growing out of her head. There's stylized text on her left reading "Luciana mandragora."

fanart i drew of an anthropomorphized plant from a 15th century italian manuscript. her name is luciana mandragora 🌱 #art

A waist-up digital drawing of an anthropomorphized plant woman. She's naked, with light-brown skin, covered in roots growing out of her body all over; her hair, bob-length, also looks like tangled roots. There's a plant growing out of the top of her head, a bundle of leaves and purple flowers. She's holding up one hand, her thumb ending in a flower, and smiling warmly at the viewer.

a preview of my zine piece for @broadswordszine.bsky.social ⚔️ preorders are open NOW until june 30th, with proceeds going to Transgender Law Center and Point of Pride!

A cropped, zoomed-in art piece in a white frame, showing a scarred woman in armour, her hair pinned up, with hussar wings on her back, looking down on someone off-frame. A green-skinned clawed hand is cradling her jaw, and you can just about see the smirk of the figure looking up at her.

asimov will be like this is a married heterosexual man and then write this. okay

He felt Daneel’s steady arm about his waist and shame prevented him from doing what, at the moment, he most wanted to do—to turn and hide his face against the robotic chest. He might have been unable to resist if Daneel had been human—

PRESENTED WITHOUT COMMENT.

Again, Baley found himself crammed into the front seat between the two robots. He welcomed Daneel particularly, with his humanlike body warmth. Although Giskard’s textilelike outermost layer was insulating and not as cold to the touch as bare metal would have been, he was the less attractive of the two in Baley’s current chilly state.

Baley caught himself on the verge of putting an arm around Daneel’s shoulder, with the intention of finding comfort by drawing him even closer. He brought his arm down to his lap in confusion.

confessions of love????? right in front of the murder suspect???????

Vasilia said, “Friends? An Earthman and a humaniform robot? Well, there is a match. Neither quite human.” Baley said, sharply, “Nevertheless bound by friendship. Do not, for your own sake, test the force of our—” Now it was he who paused and, as though to his own surprise, completed the sentence impossibly, “—love.”

LIKE WHAT KIND OF FANFIC ASS LINE

A highlighted book passage that reads:
"Baley looked into the other’s gentle eyes (when did he start thinking of their expression as gentle?)"

can i come over and stare at you like this

Two illustrations from a historical astronomical text depicting a lunar and solar eclipse. The Sun and the Moon are both depicted with faces, the Moon smiling mildly and the Sun looking distinctly disgruntled. The solar eclipse is placed below the lunar, giving the impression of a comic strip in which the Moon gets uncomfortably close and presses its face into the Sun's.
