well the Legacy is done

And boy do I have words Spoilers below, friends!

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five out of five for me! This book was pure gold!

Okay, I've got a lot to say! So let's start with the little things. First off, I will forever mourn the loss of Jarlaxle/Dinin. They would have been SO DARN CUTE but NOOOOO Vierna just had to turn him into a drider!! Next, Thibbledorf Pwent. OMG I LOVE HIM!!! He was such a fun and silly character amid all the deep, heavy content of the story, and he made a great reprieve from the sadness in the plot. I love him and hope he sticks around for a long, long time! And okay Jarlaxle I love you but how you gonna let Drizzt show you mercy and then immediately snitch on him to Matron Baenre??? Like dude cmon. And also- NOOOOO COBBLE!!!! THAT MAN WAS EPIC!!! Yeah I'm never getting over him either.

Now, let's move into some of the bigger things I have.

Like can we talk about Vierna's death? That was such an emotional scene, and I felt like I was standing watching it. Vivid descriptions and probing sentences that really made me think. The scene was wonderfully crafted, and it was wonderful to see how Drizzt has matured in the ways of dealing with grief.

Speaking of grief, let's talk about it and Wulfgar. I've always felt that while Salvatore's writing is all-around beautiful, there's one thing he excels at- writing grief. He somehow manages to balance writing such a fun and compelling fantastical storyline while also bringing to light deep, heavy emotions and situations that really do tug on your heartstrings. Reading about the utter loss both Bruenor and Catti-Brie felt was bad enough, but the way he describes it, man! I'm not a very emotional person when it comes to fiction, but I felt that despair and shared it with the characters deep in my soul. It's truly his best stuff right there. And on a side note, like I know Wulfgar is in other books, but like he's officially dead?? I dunno but like whatever he kinda was mid.

And like same with Artemis??? I know he's in further books but there's no way he's surviving FALLING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. TWICE. Like I know his plot armor is thick but not THAT thick so like there goes Entreri I guess.

And okay, my final note. Let's talk about Regis. So I know last time I said he'd changed, it was because that was actually Artemis in disguise. And when Drizzt found Regis, after being tortured, he really did seem the same- scared and dependent on others, but overall still good. However, then I got to the ending of the Legacy, where the companions are all in mourning of Wulfgar... except, it seems, for Regis. He seems detached from the whole situation and instead ends up seeking out Artemis to rob him and send him on his second scenic mountain tumble. And while I think his intentions were good, he acted so cold the entire scene. This could just be because it's Artemis, a man who's caused great pain to both Regis himself and his friends. Or maybe, he's just been through too much to hold onto who he used to be. I don't know yet. But I'm eager to see what else is going on with our halfling friend, and I'm so pumped to be starting Starless Night.

Well, that is (finally) all for me! What are your thoughts on the Legacy? -Petra !

the steven universe hate is insane bc people are (or at least were) more upset that fictional war criminals got fictional hugs than they recognize that it singlehandedly advanced queer rep in children's media by lightyears and then straight up ate heavy retaliation for the nerve.

It does have real flaws that are worth discussing, but it also put their male protagonist in dresses and skirts and played it straight and even empowering, they aired a lesbian wedding on television, it was a genuinely queer, genuinely diverse piece of media through and through. It did a lot of real good for the real world.

But also the fictional characters caused fictional harm to other fictional characters, and didn't get an onscreen firing squad sentence. So, you know, it's basically ontologically evil in real life.

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."
