  1. Last Sunday, second day of the #vierdaagsefeesten and #ValkhofFestival, we saw Mary Sue perform at the Valkhof Festival. First time in Europe, all the way from Singapore. And he was pretty good, although I have to admit it's often a bit weird to watch a mostly empty stage with a small table with mixer and one person performing.

    Playing several songs from his Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword album amid other songs.

    Go see him if you can, although I have no clue about the rest of a possible tour, locations, dates, etc. Possibly posted on other social media that I'm not on.

    Having dragged a suitcase full of vinyl our way from Singapore, I decided to lighten the cargo by buying the record that I had had my eyes on for a while. 1/50 limited grey smoke European tour edition. Woop woop. ;)

  5. Just finished reading *A Princess of Mars* by Edgar Rice Burroughs, written more than a century ago. John Carter is a transparent #MarySue. He is at all times superior to every other character, save perhaps the titular princess. So many times he escapes because he just happens to remember something someone else told him (that they shouldn't know anyway is immaterial). I'm so happy writing has improved since then.

  9. Writing my #Christmas #romance #novel has made me realize that all of my #MarySue #wishfulfillment #powerfantasy dreams involve having the luxury to offer #charity to those in need, strengthening #community bonds, and finding a #thirdplace for teenagers to hang out with in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. There's also #cyborgs and #catgirls, but we can't all be #CharlesDickens.

  13. I got in a row the other day with a woman, who shared a post with her opinion about the toxicity of persons critical of Mary Sue characters.

    After much pushback, she turned off the ability to comment, so she forced my hand to respond otherwise. I resorted to my blog – and here.

  17. Saying that a strong female character is a Mary Sue should have been left in the before times, but since it is coming back, have a blog about why Mary Sue is 80% stupid and 20% a symptom of your characterization problem. #writingcommunity #writestodon #marysue #writers

  23. To reflect on and rethink the Mary Sue character from a feminist perspective:
    "Perhaps our embrace of Mary Sues—even if they’re the most achingly perfect young woman to ever command a ship in the Fleet—will help change things for the better.”
    buff.ly/arb1SUq
    “The general trend shows that we had no problem with attractive, talented, and powerful characters until those characters were written as women.”

  27. #NowPlaying this damn excellent new LP from last month, 'Porcelain Shield, Paper Sword' by Mary Sue, a rapper from Singapore (a dude). And he's backed up here by the Clementi Sound Appreciation Club (a five-piece band of jazz musicians from the local scene in Singapore). This is a lush, dense, textured and amazing rap record with Southeast Asian samples and Taoist folklore all over it. Great lyrics too - conscious and solid. A must hear for fans of rap (or jazz?) and another contender this year.

  38. Twelve years ago, I set out to make what I would believe to be the cringiest, most Mary-Sue character design I could come up with. Yet, I always feel like I could have pushed the visual pain factor even further.

    Another oldie since I'm still waiting for my dang stylus replacement.

  41. If modern works sell less than the past it's due what I call #Brandkillers works on them: first they wrote #fanfictions, never took a step up and they pour it into serious works, especially serialized sagas by previous serious authors. The power is rewrite an existing character, protagonist especially, and change into one's own avatar, making author/character link stronger, due they're inept of make but repropose what they are and if they're #MarySue alé! A bad escapism type with good reasons

    Gute Beschreibung der MS, wie sie sich im Körper einnistet und mal hier, mal da, mal mehr, mal weniger die Abläufe stört.
    Das könnten auch Leute nachvollziehen, die selbst nicht erkrankt sind.

  44. The #Picard reunion is everything. Even the old music comes back to take us back to the original, a happy time for me. Like a happy holodeck. Does that make me a #MarySue too? Sigh.
