      OK, SO: before I begin tonight's critical skim-reread of Anne McCaffrey's Damia (which, if you're wondering why I'm doing this, check the threads linked above), some background: Damia is the 2nd book in The Tower and the Hive series, which I haven't read since I was a teen.

      The first book in the series, The Rowan, details the childhood rescue of the titular heroine, the Rowan, who has powerful psychic abilities, and her subsequent upbringing and lovelife. Her BFF throughout this is a guy called Afra, whose love for the Rowan is never requited.

      This is relevant here because Afra is the endgame love interest of the also-titular heroine of this second book, Damia, who is - you guessed it! - the Rowan's daughter, whom Afra has known since her infancy. And from memory - which is why this skimcrit - it gets... weird.

      Also from memory, I thiiiiink Afra is meant to be Black? Or a MOC of some sort? But he's also green - like, there is a green tint to his skin and hair, because something something future planet biosphere something - so I'm not 100% on that. But I'm mentioning it ahead of time -

      - because WOW was I taken aback by the sheer amount of baldfaced racism in McCaffrey's Pegasus in Flight, which prompted this whole thing, and for anyone following along with this, I want you to be prepared for the prospect of More Racism Ahoy.

          By McCaffrey’s standards this is deeply culturally sensitive, and yet I cannot get past the use of “brown chief” to describe a man who is evidently of Japanese descent.pic.twitter.com/OxjjzOI2tj

          also if every single dude could stop obsessing over who the rowan is gonna fuck that would be Nice, but given these first few chapters are just a recap of the first book only from Afra’s POV that is Unlikely

          In a better universe, “Do you love her so little that you cannot welcome her husband with open arms?” would be the prelude to a bi and poly OT3 instead of Afra waiting to fuck their daughter. AND YET.pic.twitter.com/FGCv9wCrNa
