- ‘He didn’t even want to pretend to meditate, and lay on the bed just pretending to be dead.’ Mood (Chapter 6)
- There's s blink and miss it line that could read transphobic in this chapter, which raises an ethical question. Should a translator just cut or gentle such things and provide an explanatory footnote? For my money if it's not SIGNIFICANT&can be easily cut&glossed for full disclosure, there's no reason not to.
- Skinner demons are yet more 'fake bodies that disguise and enable' (here, along gender lines, as well as in terms of predation): every MXTX novel is like 12 of those in a sack
- 'if this were a novel, and not padded like that of “Great Master” Airplane’s, the writing would have been finished in one chapter'
Lmao MXTX girl fuck you
- We get more instances of enabling-performance with SY!SQQ saying over-confident shit to the kids to make them rally&feel safe
