i dont think we can solely blame the authors for poorly written books. yes most of the work is on them but when you read something that just feels awkward as hell or like the author was roaming free doing what they wanted, that's because the editor(s) were asleep at the wheel. when an author wants to go on a tangent and use overwritten metaphors for every single thing they want to describe, the editor's supposed to say "hey dial that back". when an author indents way too many time to for "dramatic effect" an editor is supposed to say dont do that lol. like where are the line editors lmao?

christmas is not a traditional shadowhunter holiday but still gets celebrated in a lot of places bc will and tessa, who both grew up mundane, made a point of bringing that part of their culture into their institute which then made it into shadowhunter culture as a whole.... wessa your impact will forever be felt in the whole world

ok i know translation of ancient lit is inherently anachronistic / all words’ etymologies carry the history of their passage through time and the existence of that history is what makes them anachronistic to ancient lit / and yet translation exists on the line between possible and impossible / the distance in language and time is what necessitates translation / translation of ancient lit must navigate different forms and strengths of anachronism while being made of anachronism. logically i know all of this. it is just that the etymologies of Some words are toooo new and too Visible in their newness. this post brought to you by me being completely thrown by emily wilson’s translation of the iliad using the word ‘mesmerised’. as in franz mesmer the 18th century physician. like there is an entire anachronistic proper noun in there

How many death threats do you think I'd get if I wrote a queer book where the Devil falls in love with Adam from the Garden of Eden when something causes him to Fall from Heaven? And they both have to unlearn their religious trauma? And I retcon the existence of god because I think that's a more interesting take on the concepts of heaven and hell?

I love fics that send Shen Yuan back to his world but I really want to see more angst on the initial "waking up". Like, imagine if you just spent 15 or so years of your life in another world. You were actually happy, you had friends (unlike in your past life), got over your emotional intimacy problems and found love; just for everything to stop, be gone. I know this happens to some people who were in comas, but i think it would be a little different because it was actually real.
I was listening to Girl Anachronism (great song btw) and just had the very vivid scene of Shen Yuan going through a bit of a mental break after "coming back to life". He's been living in a different time and different world. How would he even readjust to the modern world?
Anyway, here's a sketch of how I think he would be feeling :3
Tumblr media
You can tell
From the glass on the floor
And the strings that're breaking
And I keep on breaking more
And it looks like I am shaking
But it's just the temperature
And then again
If it were any colder I could disengage
If I were any older I could act my age
But I don't think that you'd believe me
It's not the way
I'm meant to be
It's just the way
The operation made me

Someone asked why my cat guy was in a bikini, and the answer is: Men and them can wear bikini’s too!

To demonstrate, here’s Lan Wangji and his brunch friend Elle Woods at their weekly summer hangout.

historians in my podcasts repeatedly asserting that medieval conceptions of childhood were vastly different in that teenagers as young as 14 were already given adult responsibilities (especially if they were royalty) if not considered legal adults depending on the time period and this is just feeding my headcanon that yaad and thistle don't see themselves as children
