#also how this speaks to gar face and grandmother who deny their humanity and it destroys what they love in the end

YEAH YOU CANT DENY YOUR HUMAN SIDE DESPITE YOUR MYTHOLOGICAL STATUS!!!!!! HUMANS DESIRE LOVE AND COMPANIONSHIP!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

its been a bit, and tbh im still kinda hmm about how gar face himself is written, but i do like that the book goes out of its way to debunk the “human vs nature” thing that happens so often in xenofiction. like no humans are not shitty disgusting creatures ruining gods beauty or whatever, we are just as much part of the world and a part of nature as the trees and wildlife. in this case we often make the case better. gar face just sucks.
