Episode 48: Sek's Life

from Literary Demerit · host Siobhan and Kester

Chapters 8 and 9 of Love Knows No Race by Carlotta Valjean. Zim and Dib are now parents, and, well... this is where the story begins to truly go off the rails, and, as before, we don’t want to spoil it. We also covered the second half of Unbroken Dreams by the same author, and that wasn’t very normal either. Content warnings: Incest again, but worse this time, as there’s a scene where a character uses drugs to trick a relative into sleeping with them. While, again, there’s nothing that explicit in here, the subject matter is plenty unsavory on its face and the way the story handles it is bad too. Unbroken Dreams has more in-universe homophobia and also since it’s a Harry Potter fanfic we wind up having to talk about the house elf slavery thing a little.
