To name a few: photography is used in science by astronomers, physicists, chemists, and biologists in mass communication to tell stories and send messages through photojournalism, political propaganda and advertising it is a way of capturing personal memories of family events, through portraiture, travel snapshots and selfies and as an art to suggest ideas, frame questions and express emotions. Photography is complex, partially because as a modern form of image making, it is ubiquitous and used in so many different spheres of influence.

Queer indie developers usually work individually or in small teams, and they produce their art across a variety of genres and platforms. The queer games avant-garde is understood as a “rising tide of indie games being developed by, about, and often for LGBTQ people…that disrupt the status quo, enact resistance, and use play to explore new ways of inhabiting difference”. The book begins boldly by stating that queer independent game makers are leading the charge in finding ways to deconstruct and reconfigure the medium of video games. It is a collection of 22 interviews with contemporary game makers who either identify as queer, aim to work queerly or make work related to queer issues. This is the context into which The Queer Games Avant-Garde, the latest book by Bonnie Ruberg (an assistant professor at the University of California, Irvine), taps. At times, they have faced serious hostility on public platforms, as the 2014-15 hate campaign #GamerGate demonstrated. Such players, often perceived as “different”, have been systematically under- and misrepresented in games and gaming cultures. The stereotype of the white, straight, cisgender male gamer still prevails, although women, queer people, transgender people and others have always played and made games as well. The video gaming community is a masculine, heteronormative and racially and ethnically homogeneous site of action. Thea thinks she knows what she’s always wanted, both before and after her father’s betrayal, but suddenly the kind, honorable, and trustworthy Benedict leads her to the dream of living with no doubts, no walls, and no nobility. They both try so valiantly to stay their courses, but there is something between that cannot be snuffed out. When Althea Stanwick and her family lose everything and Beast steps in to offer what help he can, the irony of her wishes isn’t lost on him at all, especially when he finally realizes she’s the only person who can give him everything he never knew he wanted.īeast and Thea come to an agreement – she will teach the last few women in the brothel he owns how to better themselves for job opportunities and he will teach her how to become a seductress so she can finally be independent and free of male captivity. He’s one who hasn’t spent years wondering who his parents are – after all, he has the perfect family already. Benedict “Beast” Trewlove is the last sibling to get his happily ever after, and his is nearly the most poignant of all. With a heavy heart, we say goodbye to the Trewloves who have made reading this series such a joy.

Nice Guys do everything to fulfill other people’s needs and expect them to fulfill theirs in return - but this isn’t how relationships work.
