"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

there really are few emotions i find more compelling in a story than "you should be afraid of me. please don't be afraid of me"

#this is why i will never forget that moment in Exit Strategy when Mensah grabs MB by the collar and tells it *No*#murderbot #this was also the core premise of a character in #my novel wip that shall remain unnamed #probably more characters i'm forgetting about #fun tropes #tropes #stars rambles

#I was rereading parts of my novel #I really should work on that again sometime but Roy Kaplan and race con come first

yellowfang, i wish you were here. my sister is dying.

ID in alt and under cut

ID: digital painting of Cinderpelt and Brightpaw from Warriors. They are two cats curled around each other. Brightpaw, a ginger-and-white cat, is badly injured with cobwebs as bandages around her face and other injuries. She is unconscious and lying on her side in a moss nest. Cinderpelt, a gray cat, is curled around her with her tail over Brightpaw's back, looking at her with concern. They are in a shaded den surrounded by autumnal ferns, with a pool of water in the corner, and a strip of bright sunlight illuminating their faces. end ID.

#i was thinking about how. brightpaws injury is like the first really difficult patient cinderpelt has on her own after yellowfang dies #and its her sister #but also i went back to read dangerous path and they seem to have. forgot. that they are sisters #like cinderpelt is pretty calm about the whole thing...#seems like a huge missed opportunity for drama #graphic novel adaptation please hear me.#warriors #warrior cats #cinderpelt #brightheart #art #2024 #wc

i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it #not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any #but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening -#there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation #so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader #it has to be there in some form or other
