solarpunk

en-noun

solarpunk (countable and uncountable, plural solarpunks)

From solar + -punk, modeled after cyberpunk.

Coordinate term: biopunk

So, in honor of the Beluga Skysail's maiden voyage, I'm going to suggest a new literary genre: solarpunk.

2008 April 30, john-roberts, “From Steampunk to Solarpunk”, in Republic of the Bees, Blogspot:

In a short blog written for the LGBT magazine Vitality, Claudie Arsenault explains that “solarpunk is all about envisioning a positive future, deeply rooted in sustainability, community, and acceptance.”

2015, Evelyn Deshane, Beyond Monsters and Myths: The Transgender Future and Progress Narrative in Speculative Fiction:

“Letters to Lovelace” takes place before the “revelation” as mentioned by Novice Broder in “Moss Piglets.” and is pre-greentech, but is the catalyst for the founding of their solarpunk world.

2017, Marisha Knutson, Summus Deus: A Collection of Short Stories (Honors Thesis, Portland State University):

Lastly (although actually the first paper on the panel), Rhys Williams explored the merits and limitations of the emerging sub-genre of 'solarpunk'.

2017, Paul March-Russell, “Organic Systems: Environments, Bodies and Cultures in Science Fiction, Birkbeck College London, 16 September 2017”, in Foundation, volume 46, number 128:

Most of my novels, I think, are actually fun because I'm doing realism in a way the world needs. As for anyone picking up the mantle, there's a group of young writers who call themselves solarpunk, and what they're trying is all about adaptation.

2017 June, Sally Adee, “The power of good”, in New Scientist, volume 234, number 3129:

Drawing from literary movements like Afrofuturism, hopepunk and solarpunk, this collection of 12 short stories approaches climate change with hope for the radically different futures humans might create.

2023 February 2, “Newly Published, From Climate Fiction to a Lost Congolese Princess”, in The New York Times:

(uncountable) A movement and subgenre of speculative fiction that focuses on community, sustainability, technology powered by renewable energy, and a free and egalitarian society.


Jellyby

After the character of Mrs Jellyby in Charles Dickens' novel Bleak House (1852), who busies herself with charity work for Africa while her own household goes to ruin.

My mother, devoted to music, was a Jellyby. Strictly brought up, straight backed, never careless of her person, but still as to her children, a Jellyby.

1992, Bernard Shaw, Rebecca Swift, Letters from Margaret: correspondence between Bernard Shaw and Margaret Wheeler 1944-1950:

Chuck Collins, a great-grandson of Oscar Mayer, is a rare non-fictional example of someone who gave away all his assets during his lifetime—a half-million-dollar inheritance, which he donated to charity nearly twenty years ago. […] He now has a daughter, who does not live like a Jellyby.

2005, American Society of Magazine Editors, The Best American Magazine Writing 2005, page 360:

A philanthropist who cares only for people in distant regions, or people away from their own household.

rougarou

From Cajun French rougarou (“werewolf”).

Like the European werewolf and loup-garou, the French Canadian rougarou also often appears in the form of a dog. Whoever neglects his Easter duties or goes unconfessed for seven years finds himself changed into a rougarou at night.

1961, Maria Leach, God Had a Dog: Folklore of the Dog:

“I told you, I'm not the rougarou. And if I say anything, the rougarou will kill me. I may be old, but I don't want to go that way.” “Selena, I'm going to hurt you worse than any rougarou.”

2016, Heather Graham, Blood on the Bayou: A Cafferty & Quinn Novella, Evil Eye Concepts, Incorporated, →ISBN:

“The rougarou—him's a big, bad wolf.” “Bad?” asked Lizabeth. “What do you mean?”

2016, Jonathan Maberry, The Orphan Army, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, page 78:

"Ho, ho, ho. It is to laugh. You can't move me out, you skirted goblette. You must pay"
..
"So you're stuck, goblette," Hugh Mongous said. "Pay."
"This is outrageous!" Gwenndy said, stamping her little foot.
..
“Cups, glasses, containers, bottles, mugs—”
“Goblets?”
"Whatever."
“Nothing interesting,” Gwenny said, hoping the demoness would go away. There was no point in correcting her about the distinction between a goblet and a goblette, or in reminding her that there was only one goblin in this party. They had enough problems without having them complicated by a supernatural creature. Demonesses were supposed to be less worse than demons, being mischievous rather than mean, but their mischief could be formidable.

romantopia

en-noun

romantopia (usually uncountable, plural romantopias)

Blend of romance + utopia; originally coined by evolutionary psychologists Catherine Salmon and Donald Symons in their book Warrior Lovers: Erotic Fiction, Evolution, and Female Sexuality (2001; →ISBN) to describe the setting in romance novels.

But why, one might wonder, is there no commercial erotic genre that combines the ingredients of pornotopia and romantopia, thereby doubling the potential audience and the potential profit?

2001, Catherine Salmon and Donald Symons (2001), Warrior lovers: erotic fiction, evolution, and female sexuality (New Haven, Connecticut, USA: Yale University Press), page 68

The crucial difference between romantopia and intimatopia is that in intimatopia, intimacy is normally established before sexual interaction and is always maintained after it, whereas in romantopia, it is only established by sexual interaction and is frequently transitory.

2006, Elizabeth Woledge, "Intimatopia: genre intersections between slash and the mainstream", chapter 3 (pages 97–114) in Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse, editors (2006), Fan fiction and fan communities in the age of the Internet: new essays, (Jefferson, North Carolina, USA: McFarland), page 106

In opposition to romantopia and intimatopia and their respective romance and intimacy foci, paratopia’s interest in the fantastic is more radical.

2009, Joseph Carl Linden Brennan (October 2009), I am your worst fear, I am your best fantasy: new approaches to slash fiction (PDF), BA honors thesis, Department of Media and Communications, University of Sydney (retrieved 2017-11-29; archived from the original 2017-11-29), page 66

A fantasy world which serves as an ideal setting for romance as typically imagined by women.


romantopic

Like war novels, medieval literature is also sexually ambiguous (see Appendix one for more on medieval queerness). An example is slash inspired by the medieval-set Merlin, for which romantopic and intimatopic frameworks are useful.

I never cared for zipways as a way to get around megastructures like this. I always thought that there was a reason God invented taxis.

He could only stay there, suspended halfway between the top of the wall and the zipway, and wish would all come out all right. He'd taken a gamble, and sometimes you lost gambles. He felt more than saw the flyers stop, and he dropped down the remaining meter and a half to the surface of the zipway.

I’m not really panicking right now. Of course this is the first time I’ve been in this situation, but this sort of thing happens in TV and comics all the time, and it’s called a time slip or time trip or something.

Amalgamverse

From amalgam + -verse, after Amalgam Comics.

Understandably, as both Cyborg and Deathlok were by and large good guys for most of their appearances. But, I guess the answer could be much like the Age of Apocalypse (where some formerly very good X-men were awfully mean) -- some events in the Amalgamverse were so different from regular continuity that a few of the good guys were warped (and some of the bad guys were un-warped, too, I think, though no examples come to mind).

1997 April 16, shawn h, “Re: Magnetic Men amalgams, part 2”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <5j1aks$mo0$1@news.fas.harvard.edu>:

From Timm + -verse, after Bruce Timm, one of the creators of this universe.

I think the Batcave came from Batman's radio show. Renee Montoya, Harley Quinn from the animated series. Hey, before the Adam West show did anybody know Alfred was British? (maybe.) And a lot of the recent redesigns across the DCU have come from the Timmverse, including Robin's spiffy new duds.

Watchmenverse

I don't have the issues here with me, but I remember reading it at the time and saying "yup,he saved the world just about a month before the big Wall o' Energy (tm) comes plowin' through."
Okay, you can say Crisis never affected the Watchmenverse, but I prefer it this way. Adds to the tragic futility of it all...

From Smallville + -verse, after the TV show Smallville, named after a fictional rural American town of the same name, from Superman comics.

Now that doesn't mean that Smallville or the US in the Smallvilleverse hasn't banned human cloning, it is a TV show after all. Regardless, and something I should've mentioned in my original response, Clark and Lana likely told the sheriff about the little girls in the "incubators."

hircocervus

From Latin hircus (“goat”) + cervus (“stag”).

A legendary creature described as being a stag and goat hybrid, the hircocervus (“he-goat stag”) is said to have appeared in medieval bestiaries but there are no specific legends about them.

(mythology) A mythical creature, half goat, half stag.


Ultimateverse

From ultimate + -verse, after Ultimate Marvel, an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Since Ultimate Power now takes place before Ultimates 3, instead of after it, I guess the secret character switch between Squadron Supreme and Ultimateverse is not happening now (since there are now a LOT of stories taking place in the Ultimateverse after the switch was supposed to have happen).

2007 July 15, Wayne S Garmil, “Squadron Supreme and Ultimate Power question”, in rec.arts.comics.marvel.universe (Usenet), message-ID <f7bq57$9b1$1@pcls6.std.com>:

There's nothing to stop any of the comic companies producing realistic comic. Even the big two have gioven^([sic]) it a go. Ultimateverse nods in the general direction but doesn't really do anything more. Supreme Power was better but has since become more superheroey and is about to join the Ultimateverse officially.

My only minor complaint is I'm not terribly fond of Ultimate Pyro. I have a bit of a conservative streak in me - I'm fine with radical reinterpretations of 616 characters in the Ultimateverse, but when the original character is dead (or depowered or otherwise unrecognizeable from their original state), my feelings change.

Glorithverse

According to the Bierbaum's sourcebook (I don't remember if this particular nugget was presented clearly in the comic itself...), the Glorithverse actually came in two pieces. The first iteration of the Glorithverse resulted from the events of v4 #5, and did not include the pocket universe, Superboy, et al. in any way, shape, or form.

vworp

Imitative of the sound made by the TARDIS in Doctor Who (originally produced by sound technician Brian Hodgson by electronically modifying a recording of a key scraping along a piano string).

With a vworp of displaced air, a Double of Bob appeared. Every detail was perfect save the eyes for some reason unknown. Instead of their clear blue, they were the deep green usually associated with impending violence. Nobody was looking so nobody noticed however.

2005 March 31, Clayton, “Re: [PW!] To the Tourney”, in alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (Usenet):

A cyclic wheezing, groaning noise began as Vin approach the back wall. The vworp vworp noise was synchronized with a flashing blue light on top, as the gigantic three-dimensional holographic wall displayed a London 1950 police call box. Vin snatched the door open, stepping inside.

2010 February 18, "danw" ("DAWootan"), {ASSM} OTEC_204_Years, alt.sex.stories.moderated

A voice cackled all evil-like and then lightning struck the tower and with a vworp it disappeared! Gosh!

2014 February 23, Drew Perron, MISC: Spies With Badges: "Junior Spies The First Movie", rec.arts.comics.creative, Usenet

No sooner had the spell been cast than it was broken by a sound from outside the castle; the loud, rough, grinding, metallic grunting sound—vworp-vworp-vworp!—of some machine trying to come to life or die quickly.

2019, Lucy A. Snyder, While the Black Stars Burn

(onomatopoeia) Representing the sound made by teleporting or dematerialising/rematerialising.


From 52 + -verse, after 52, a DC Comics limited series released in 2006. The "52" refers to fifty-two fictional parallel universes in the multiverse.

A second question, once again, haven't read the new stuff, but I saw a reference somewhere to The Authority moving to a "Low Energy Earth" with no heroes... could this be part of the 52verse... a possible Earth-Prime?

Vertigoverse

From vertigo + -verse, after Vertigo, a DC Comics imprint created in 1993.

Mordru is just being reintroduced in the LSH reboot. Universo and Time Trapper have not been reintorduced^([sic]) yet so they're unlikely. Phantom Stranger and Destiny maybe be trapped in the Vertigoverse which may make them unavailable. Dr. Fate isn't around any more. Brainwave and Ultra-Humanite are JSA villains so DC will deny they ever existed. Shazam will probably wind up being an Ally if he's used. Same with the Chief.

Since certain characters are currently exclusive to The Batman, and therefore off-limits for JLU (not to mention Teen Titans--man, the Batman family is getting pretty spread out), I was wondering if any of those characters could appear in the Justice League Unlimited comic?

2005 August 4, Richmond, “Does the bat-embargo extend to JLU comics?”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <mCiIe.158498$HI.30430@edtnps84>:

But Robin is currently occupied in Teen Titans and I think this is a side effect of the Bat embargo affecting the DCU shows (No Bat-villains in the JLU any more for example).

2005 October 14, Brian Doyle, “Batman villains Q”, in rec.toys.action-figures.discuss (Usenet), message-ID <434FEA9D.5C6C8C54@nyc.rr.com>:

Of course, the bat-embargo works out here since the Batman villians need to survive for Batman Beyond. ;)

2006 February 9, Astrobiochemist, “Re: JLU Ep 5x12 Alive! SPOILERS AHEAD!”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <1139534265.256960.25620@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>:

Yes it did.I believe the name of that ep was "For The Man Who Has Everything".It had all the main players in it except,Robin.Which was probably due to the Bat-embargo the suits had going on which basically made it impossible for anyone from the Bat-books other than Batman to appear on JLU.

But folks were also irked by the fact that the DCAU's beloved Justice League Unlimited, still in production when The Batman debuted, was forbidden from using most of the Dark Knight's rogue's gallery, since a "Bat-embargo" reserved them for the new series, while Batman Begins made the Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul unavailable to either show.

2017, Joseph McCabe, 100 Things Batman Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, Triumph Books, →ISBN, page 375:

(fandom slang) A prohibition against having the same fictional characters appearing in multiple DC Comics animated series in the decade of the 2000s, which caused Batman's allies and enemies save for Batman himself to be unavailable for the animated series Justice League (although Joker, Clayface and Firefly made appearances in this show) and Justice League Unlimited, and Robin to be unavailable for animated series other than Teen Titans.

jumbie

From Kongo zumbi (“fetish”). Doublet of zombie.

If one wants to see “jumbies” “duppies” ghosts, all that is necessary is to put in your eye the tears from the eyes of a pie-bald horse. It is no use explaining to a negro that what he has taken to be a “jumbie” or apparition, is a tree or rock or other natural object.

1882, G.H. Hawtayne, “Occasional notes: West Indian Folk-lore”, in Timehri: Being the Journal of the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana, volume 1, page 145:

Jethro stomped away up the hill, though the trail was supposed to be haunted by spirits of the dead called jumbies. He didn't care. He didn't believe in jumbies.

1979, Susan Cooper, Jethro and the Jumbie, page 5:

Určitě je pořád u švédské policie. Copak to nebyl takový Mirek Dušín?

Nekola is not a very moral person. He has committed several offences, although they were not violent, and also contraventions.

Ghosts, bogies, and the supernatural generally have utterly vanished from this commonplace district before schools and newspapers. Even an old lady more than ninety years old said to us, "Fairies and shag-boys! lasses are often skeart at them, but I never saw none, though I have passed many a time after dark a most terrible spot for them on the road at Thorpe."

The drider had however moved close as he beseeched the entity behind the door, so found himself needing to bend his black elvish upper torso back towards the ceiling in order to avoid being slammed by the sudden rush of the massive slab.

I was in a dungeon, alone, nude.
Suddenly and without warning, a huge gay drider came from behind and shoved his massive drider cock up my anus!!!
[…]
Now my willy is sore and my asshole hurts badly and I have the foul taste of drider cum in my mouth and I lost 90% of my hitpoints!
So NEVER walk around in a dungeon nude, because gay driders may rape you!

Cirno: "I'll cryo-freeze you together with some English beef!"

2002, Team Shanghai Alice, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil:

This requires bulky machinery and other equipment that one person is unlikely to be able to maneuver. Furthermore, even if current technology could cryo-freeze an entire body, the process would take many hours. Dr. Stein made inquiries and found out that a specialist in the field of cryogenics had made a breakthrough just a few weeks before the murder that allowed him to safely freeze single organs, but not entire bodies.

"Both the original injury and the cryo-freeze did him a lot of damage, some of it permanent. He was forced to take a medical discharge, which he — hm! — did not handle well. It's not my place to discuss those details.” “If he was injured badly enough to need cryo-freeze, he was dead!” she said, startled. “Technically, I suppose so. 'Alive' and 'dead' are not such neat categories as they used to be in the Time of Isolation.”

1999, Lois McMaster Bujold, Komarr, Baen Books, →ISBN:

"What are you going to do with her?" he asked. "Nothing, Dr. Sanders. You are." Sanders shook his head. "What do you mean?" - "We've got two new clients, Dr. Sanders, that need to be put into cryo-freeze..."

Oh I hate this, and she did it on purpose, I'm floating in mid grav feeling like I'm in cryo freeze like the old days. “Lasko you were never in cryo freeze, that has not been used since the star stream was discovered.” Good point, and it is kinda good for the back. “Just be careful of the...” Ow, the transition. “Sorry Lasko, but I told you to stay seated.” The tone in her voice tells me she kinda enjoyed that."

Voldy

From the evil wizard Voldemort in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling.

As I walked slowly to my desk, I pictured myself, as I had done several times before, telling old Voldy I was quitting. Whenever I had the temptation to stop reading the immensely boring editorials and random reading material, I was subjecting myself to these days for my upcoming GDs/interviews, I would picture myself telling Voldy I was out of here and then his possible reactions. It was my favourite daydream.

2014, Harkeerat Anand, An Affair to Remember, Sristhi Publishers & Distributors, →ISBN, page 12:

It's Halloran. Or as he is more frequently called by the kids around Rosemary Bluffs, Voldy. Named for a certain villain in a certain story about a world of wizards. Trust me, the guy earned the nickname. I've never met anyone so rude. If you held a contest for meanest person in town, Voldy would win every time. Even most adults don't like him.

1997 October 1, Judy Williams, “Verdict-Red Shirt”, in alt.fan.la-femme.nikita (Usenet):

Editors are very sensitive to POV slips; many consider it the mark of an amateur. So be careful to maintain your point of view; don't head-hop from character to character.

2014, Paula Munier, Plot Perfect: How to Build Unforgettable Stories Scene by Scene:

Here we head-hop from Madison to Betsey, as signaled by the text abruptly naming Madison “that bitch.” Both the hop and the term feel harshly out of tune with the preceding action. As a reader, I have barely started getting to know Madison as a character and investing in her as the protagonist; should I now make a similar investment in Betsey? Only time will tell: If we return to Betsey's POV, then yes, I should pay close attention to her.

2016, Cheryl Klein, The Magic Words: Writing Great Books for Children and Young Adults:

(intransitive, informal) In writing fiction, to switch suddenly from one character's perspective to another's, disrupting the flow of the story.
