Every season, they give me something, but then they take it away.

There’s just something about the main character of what could have been a cut and dry fantasy adventure having an absolute existential crisis and mental breakdown over the burden of carrying unimaginable power that they have no real guidance on how to use thanks (in various ways) to a bunch of weird old wizards that hate them that makes me lose my mind a bit.

"I'm so excited for Siuraine in season 3" I say to myself knowing they'll interact in one episode before doing something emotional devastating to me

Rereading The Fires of Heaven and about Elaida’s coup and subsequent tyranny over the White Tower as an American in the Year of Our Lord 2025 is….an interesting experience

look, I know I've talked about this essay (?) before but like,

If you ever needed a good demonstration of the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", have I got an exercise for you.

Somebody made a small article explaining the basics of atomic theory but it's written in Anglish. Anglish is basically a made-up version of English where they remove any elements (words, prefixes, etc) that were originally borrowed from romance languages like french and latin, as well as greek and other foreign loanwords, keeping only those of germanic origin.

What happens is an english which is for the most part intelligible, but since a lot everyday english, and especially the scientific vocabulary, has has heavy latin and greek influence, they have to make up new words from the existing germanic-english vocabulary. For me it kind of reads super viking-ey.

Anyway when you read this article on atomic theory, in Anglish called Uncleftish Beholding, you get this text which kind of reads like a fantasy novel. Like in my mind it feels like it recontextualizes advanced scientific concepts to explain it to a viking audience from ancient times.

Even though you're familiar with the scientific ideas, because it bypasses the normal language we use for these concepts, you get a chance to examine these ideas as if you were a visitor from another civilization - and guess what, it does feel like it's about magic. It has a mythical quality to it, like it feels like a book about magic written during viking times. For me this has the same vibe as reading deep magic lore from a Robert Jordan book.

First drawing of the year! Starting off by adding Tuon to my WoT collection. Tried some new stuff with this one - I plan on doing a lot of experimenting with my process this year.

"There was an Aes Sedai at the White Tower when I was a novice. She was everything that I wanted to be. She was strong, controlled, precise. She… she was terrifying. "

Super quick but I need to bite someone I'm so excited: this was the way to avoid that
