#10: Adventures on an Ice Planet
from Raging Romantics · host Northern Onondaga Public Library
Welcome back to Not-Hoth, dear humans! You sparkly thing you, thanks for giving us a listen! In this episode, we, Jen and Jackie, follow up on our discussion of the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon. We narrowed down the 18+ books of the series into a critical think session of four books that we reallllllly wanted to talk about. This is a heavier discussion, and we have some difficult themes we're going to be talking about, including dubious consent, rape, kidnapping, and slavery. We end the discussion with a shout out to some of our other favorites in the series (there are many), and Jen gives us a particularly bad joke (as usual). Thanks for listening! Reminder to go back and listen to the first episode this month (episode #9), as there's a lot of information about the Ruby Dixon universe! Don't forget to email us at [email protected] if you have any questions, concern, recommendations, or just want to say howdy. TW: Discussions of rape and rape culture, dubious consent (dubcon), kidnapping, and slavery Books we talk about: Ice Planet Barbarians (IPB #1)- Georgie and Vektal Barbarian's Prize (IPB #5)- Tiffany and Salukh Barbarian's Mate (IPB #6)- Josie and Haeden Barbarian's Redemption (IPB #12) - Bek and Elly Terms Dark Romance Generally contains kidnapping or entrapment, psychological and/or physical abuse, and dubious consent, often because of revenge, a misunderstanding, or a debt that must be paid. The hero is usually an inflictor of most if not all of that; Ultimately the category falls into an awkward area between romance, erotica, and horror. (bookriot.com) Hurt/Comfort Heavily focuses on the interaction of a pair of characters; as the name suggests, one character is somehow hurt, and the other character provides comfort. (PPC.fandom.com) Gaslighting Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person or group makes someone question their sanity, perception of reality, or memories. (medicalnewstoday.com) Hunter's Cave The sa-khui have various caves scattered across Not-Hoth that are stocked with supplies where they can stay if they're too far away from the Tribal Caves/Croatoan Dvisti A creature native to Not-Hoth which looks like a blend between a llama and a pony...I WANT ONE (unfortunately it is prey to the sa-khui...) Croatoan After the original Tribal Caves are destroyed by an earthquake in book seven, a new settlement is discovered in a crevasse, with stone huts and running water! The humans name it "Croatoan" Other links: Etymology of the word "camouflage" Information on sex therapy and counseling Please note that in no situation should a therapist physically touch you in any way that can be deemed as sexual or inappropriate. In these therapies a professional will use talking therapy to help a patient- PLEASE CONTACT A THERAPIST OR DOCTOR FOR MORE INFORMATION Other books we mention: Barbarian Lover (IPB #3)- Kira and Aehako (she has an alien translator stapled onto her ear) Barbarian's Touch (IPB #7)- Lilah and Rokan (PSYCHIC ALIEN GUYS) Barbarian's Taming (IPB #8)- Maddie and Hassen (earthquake and discovery of new settlement) Barbarian's Heart (IPB #9)- Stacy and Pashov (he has amnesia and Jackie doesn't like this one) Barbarian's Beloved (IPB #16)- Ariana and Zolaya (she has severe anxiety and he's adorable) The book Jen was trying to remember!
