i made a thing

ayiman:

I have a favour to ask…

I am interested in science fiction and fantasy that isn’t written by white dudes.  

I am also particularly interested in fantasy that doesn’t take place in some Europe-analogue, and science fiction that isn’t about colonial or militarist triumph.

So help a geek out, pls and thx

I know the Malazan is written by a white dude, but he’s a learned archaeologist/anthropologist and 99% of the characters in the ten book long series are PoC and features many lgbt and disabled characters (many of them also PoC) as well and also the settings are 1% euro-centric so i highly recommend The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson

To love in absence is to float on ever still waters. No sudden currents. No treacherous tides. No possibility of drowning.

‘Strings for when I’m lying, Fiddler for when I’m telling the truth.’
‘Ah, is that a Malazan trait, then? Strange—’
‘No, not a trait. Mine, maybe.’
‘And how should I name you?’
‘Fiddler.’
‘Very well.’ A welcome gift. ‘Fiddler. I was thinking. Here I am, trapped. And yet, it is only now, I think, that I have finally escaped my prison. Funny, isn’t it?’
