& if any of y'all are in the Vancouver area and want to hang out, I'm holding a little HTML meetup tomorrow afternoon at VPL~ gath.io/yroS9l9u5HG7...

specifically to read it as mineva's POV on haman--first as a child and later as an adult, reflecting on her relationship with the closest thing she had to a living mother figure--a manipulative tyrant barely in her 20s herself. the final lines are suitably depressing for a haman-pov closing tho haha

- color: a return to similar themes as navel but leading to, uh. where she ends up at the end of zz.
- nose for a mountain: i almost made this the first track, but i put it last b/c it hurts me. >

- frontier: let's all make war on the earth sphere baby!!!!
- no death no danger: enter judau; particularly, back when haman thinks she can still sway or use him. some distant echoes of early char & haman in reverse (depending on what you think went on there)

- navel: introspective newtype angst from someone who has immense psychic gifts but refuses at all costs to accept the knock-on effects of transformative connection with others
- queen of wands: this IS the correct tarot significator for haman--authority by way of charisma and will

liner notes, short ver (expanded version on dw tbd)
- stardust & reigning down are paired in a "being a space revanchist witch queen: when it's good, it's very good... and when it isn't..." way
- extraordinary wings & the narcissist are haman -> char; the former in early axis zeon & the latter, zeta

50/50 whether shi wudu is even gay

Certainly moreso than "pseudosexual coercion at the whims of the decadent invert shi qingxuan" to be completely fucking honest

(& don't you want your otp's self-understandings coming away from their encounter w/ the other to be utterly changed?)

You can read him as a cis man and still think this. It can be magic drag. Still way more interesting than "yet another thing he begrudgingly goes along with for sqx" of which we already have examples
