The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
[Originally published on my Medium page: link here]
Newland Archer is our guide through the high society of New York, a lawyer engaged to May Welland, contempt with the world around him, fully immersed in his position in life and in love with his fiance. Enter Countess Ellen Olenska, who, when compared to May, is the complete opposite; she doesn’t allow social constructs and obligations to dictate her life; she questions the regulations of society and who makes them. Fearing a family scandal, Archer convinces Olenska not to divorce her husband but ends up fearing for his own growing affections.
I found Archer annoying at first, all the talk of New York society, but he’s what I’d like to call the character development effect; turns a smidge attractive as the story progresses. Olenska is hands-down my favorite character, unapologetically herself in a world where it’s extensively criticized. Archer experiences the feeling of living, but can’t hold on to it; that is what love stories are made of. This story seems to be told before, in different time periods, characters, locations, etc. The Age of Innocence reads like many historical romance dramas and I love it. It’s always the raging war and discussion between love and obligation; the answer never is as simple as we make it out to be. Spoiling nothing, I’d like to say that if you’d like a happily ever after, please read one of the other many historical romance dramas (I always recommend Pride and Prejudice) and then come back to The Age of Innocence to fully bask in the angst. I have a love-hate relationship with the ending, but I wouldn’t want to change it.
Read this book, if you’re interested in taking a trip to 1870s New York and mingling with society. Tell me if you broke a smile whenever Olenska spoke or pulled eyebrows from the love, and don’t forget to count the mental eye rolls dedicated towards society!

Quoteworthy
Women ought to be free — as free as we are.
What’s the use? You gave me my first glimpse of a real life, and at the same moment you asked me to go on with a sham one. It’s beyond human enduring — that’s all.
To have you here, you mean-in reach and yet out of reach? To meet you in this way, on the sly? It’s the very reverse of what I want.
The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!
Each time you happen to me all over again.

New transformation kink dropped - Tetrisization.
That, or this is the painful process in which women are melted and turned into tetrominosfor use in puzzle games! D: It is not for the faint of heart!

Her face shows she’s clearly unhappy about having to do a boobs and butt pose for this photoshoot when her MMA clothes got shrunk in the wash and she has no clean underwear to put on too.

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. I don’t think fabric works like that.
It’s funny because I was originally not gonna post this because I assumed that this pic had already been on Escher Girls before given how oftenthisSupergirlrun’sbeenfeatured, but somehow… this particular image wasn’t one of the ones featured. Shocking. Anyway, she’s at least not quite the pipecleaner action figure she is in other pictures from that run, but her top is just as vacuum sealed, and her skirt is still a frilly belt that’s always threatening to fall off her hips. Also while Clark said in a previous issue that Lois bought her clothes, I guess Lois didn’t buy her enough changes of underwear so she ran out. :\

Mr. Freeze Wife NFT. That’s all I have to say.
(why is she naked??)
From Batman/FaZe Clan #1 (2022), DC Comics
I read this comic the other day and I had the exact same thought. I was like “wait, did they NFT his wife!?" Also I think there was an error in processing while turning her into crypto because her leg came off. Or maybe that’s part of the encryption process. Escher Girls, now on the b̶l̶o̶c̶k̶ boobchain!

Two types of boobs and butt Diana, but at least she managed to pull that wedgie out of her butt.

Hi all, unfortunately the Penguin-Linux-American Eagle-Toronto Blue Jays acquisition fell through. The CEOs took one look at the Escher Girls inbox and then noped out as their eyes melted and they reported sympathy back pains. So it looks like you’re all stuck with regular Escher Girls content again.
C'est la vie.
Anyway, have one more bird and butt pose for the road.

The#bookoftheweek is DEATH The Deluxe Edition, by @neilhimself
There is nothing about this book that can’t pass as perfect. @Chris Bachallo work is amazing as usual, and goes great with Gaiman’s words. The stories about how Death comes to earth for a day once every Century, are beautiful, and bittersweet, just like Death herself.
The art gallery is huge, the covers and other art by McKean (another all time favorite) are haunting, and the last story with a little cameo of some chainsmoker bastard from Liverpool reminded me of that aftertaste only the comics of the 90’s used to have. 10/10 will Read again.
