Dawn, by Octavia Butler: An Unbelievably Serious Synopsis
THE OANKALI: hello yes, we are the alien invaders and we represent colonialism.
LILITH: Oh fuck THAT shit.
OANKALI: lilith, lilith, we need you to help us seduce the tattered remnants of post-apocalyptic humanity to our cause.
LILITH: What exactly is your cause?
OANKALI: literal seduction, you will have our babies.
LILITH: Did you guys really have to go straight for the woman named "Lilith" for help with your monsterbaby plan. Did you guys think this through.
OANKALI: not guys. our dominant gender is tentacle-rape, preferred pronoun is tentacle-rapist.
LILITH: Did you alter my brain chemistry to make me attracted to tentacle-rapists?
OANKALI: are you even familiar with human sexuality. why would we need to alter your brain chemistry for that.
(yes though, yes we totally did. also everyone else's.)
LILITH: Okay, well, now I am space-married to a tentacle-rapist and pregnant with a monsterbaby and the man I loved is dead and I am permanently alienated from my own species. So, thanks. Thanks for that.
OANKALI: you're welcome, we still represent colonialism.
but also it is biologically impossible for people to be gay now, did you notice that lilith, because that is a thing we did.
LILITH: The next book's gonna have to be from my monsterbaby's POV, because I am so done.
LILITH: Oh fuck THAT shit.
