THE GREY WITCH ⚖️

“Roses. She hates them because her Mistress, her traitor, loved them. Nevertheless, she still carries one to remember who she has to revenge: The one who betrayed her traitor” 🌹

LYCORIS 🥀

“It's been centuries since she's being called by her real name, so long that she can't tell which was neither.

Now Lycoris is what remains as a way to remind herself how ephimerous life is while searching for what she had lost.

But it's her fault for everything she went through? The answer is no and the truth can be found on her neck, as she will always wear the symbol of the one who ruined everything she once loved” 🌹

THE ROSE WITCH 🌹

“Even if sunflowers are her favourites, don't let her trick you. She knows how to make the sweet scent of a flower into a deathly poison.”

Something that irks me when I remember and think about it, is how some movies and or series mess with the already stablished myths and mythologies just so they can fit to their story.

Let me explain further. The problem is not that said movie/serie has their interpretation of the Gods, Goddesses and myths, I myself have my own interpretation about them, BUT it is when they have to just forget about what CANNONICALLY happened because yes or because whatever reason.

And I know sometimes you can't just show the whole truth but like... Is it really necessary to just mess with an already solid story written thousand of years ago?

Because the Gods and Goddesses are always a representation of human nature, due to obviously being written by humans and they already had their personality stablished, so just mess them to create another personality and story for them is just that: A mess.

TL;DR: Watching sometimes mythologies and mythical characters being rewritten into two different people with the same name just so they fit into the story coveniently feels like canon vs fanon.

IT IS OTOM 🍁

So finally it was revealed that the new story is a new Traveller's Note.

Am I surprised? No

Am I disappointed? Yes and no.

I mean yes because since the first announcement of this story (I won't call it a book), it screamed TN, and no because obviously they wouldn't just bring a new function to just use it once.

Another thing that doesn't surprise me but is still disappointing, is that they decided to do an interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Anything related to Alice sounds stunning and it could have been, if well written, an amazing story like the Apothecary, so it makes sense that they went with something that is well known because they knew that a lot of people love it and will buy it regardless.

Inspiration and by extention being inspired can be weird at times.

I mean, it feels like being hit by a big wave while swimming either on a sunny or cloudy day that can lead you to write nonstop for who knows how long until tiredness forces you to go to sleep...

AND THEN the very next day, for some reason, you feel like you're on the sand instead of the ocean, completely dry and unable to come up with a single line.

And who knows when the next wave will hit you, but until then, better work with everything you managed to do while being inspired.
