i'm kind of late to this but i just finished reading the scholomance trilogy by naomi novik and i feel like it is such an underrated urban fantasy?? taking the chosen one trope and turning it on its head with a fmc who has been prophesied to bring death and destruction, who is imbued with terrible power, but cannot even properly use said power to solve any of her obstacles because it would obliterate them and her soul. it takes a tired trope and the idea of an 'overpowered mary sue' and throws it back in your face by showing how all the power and destiny in the world is useless against a system filled with corruption that has burdened you with an easy way out (evil/destructive magic) that you can't take so now you have to work twice as hard as everyone else just to do simple, constructive spells instead of flicking your wrist and being done with it.

#the scholomance #naomi novik #galadriel higgins #orion lake #bookblr #urban fantasy #a deadly education #the last graduate #ya fantasy #the golden enclave #ya fiction #it has a diverse cast #queerness just effortlessly woven in #and the entire thing is so seamlessly crafted with a narrative on what real change looks like #how to really rid your environment of corruption and change society for the better you have to do the gritty work #you have to be willing to do the unpleasant hard grueling organization and working with people / meeting them where they're at #you might not even get to see or do the pretty parts #but its still worth doing the distatesful shit #doing the compromising and giving space for people to learn and make up for mistakes #so that future generations can do better #and have the childhood u didn't #no spoilers in case by some miracle i convince another soul to read this but like #she legit fucking says it in the book #it's not the work she wants to do in the end. not what she envisioned. but she does what she must to make sure other kids don't suffer #makes me think of climate activism so much #we might not get to have the pretty wonderful utopia but we have to be willing to do the shitty stuff it takes to make that future possible

The Cell saga is so funny. Because it's literally a bunch of dudes making mistakes upon mistakes and facing the consequences for their actions

#literally there isn't one fighter that doesn't do a deadly mistake in that group all of them messed up in some way or another #vegeta krillin trunks goku gohan #gotta say goku and gohan got the hardest consequences even tho their mistakes were mostly done in a well meaning way #i will forgive goku gohan and krillin for them tho vegeta was just an asshole and trunks was dumb about not wanting to hurt his father pride #like i know it's your father you never met but your father is an asshole that needs to get put down from his high pedestal sometimes #dragon ball z #dbz posting

don't tell anyone but i turned on reduced frights for echoes of the eye

#outer wilds #I DIDN'T WANT TO #especially cause the 'frights' weren't so bad #i was just gettin pretty frustrated trying to sneak past these mfers in the dark. like i wasted 3 whole loops just #getting kicked out by them over n over again till we all drowned #so i was hoping reduced frights might make them less deadly or smth #echoes of the eye spoilers #and it helped immensely it made them way slower i could actually like take my time and escape them without making a dumb mistake #(i'm not a good gamer. when i'm rushed i forget how buttons work)#i really like walking around without my lantern i basically explore everything i can without it first thing its greay #simulation moment #also i Saw that thing abt falling off the boat during the 'loading' periods which i might try at some point now that i actually like #made some progress again yipee #i saw a reel that showed an old person dying in the radius of the simulation and still loading into it so #i was thinking abt that bright bridge u can't get by. this might be crazy but the alarms can't wake the dead. right.#maybe i could like jump in the campfire or like fly into the ceiling a bunch it might be fun to try

a doylist explanation for gnomes having a reputation as aggressively annoying-on-purpose obvious joke characters is that they get built that way by troll players because a lot of people, by and large, don't know how to square the concepts of 'people who proactively value joy and whimsy and having a laugh' and 'people who are capable of being well rounded and serious with actual thoughts and feelings' as things that can coexist

a watsonian explanation is that a lot of gnomes realize other races think they're stupid and ridiculous and are intentionally leaning in as hard as possible because they think it's really funny

#me-- overly sensitive about being flanderized and perceived as stupid: BEING SILLY DOES NOT PRECLUDE YOU FROM BEING A WHOLE PERSON #gnomes who have a better sense of humor than I do: OOHOHOOOO FIDDLE-DEE-DEE WHO WILL TRY MY RRRRIDDLES THREEEE #I'm 100% sure I've talked about this but 'you have to suck all the silliness out of something for it to be worth taking seriously'#is a particular axe of mine to grind #I have REALLY strong feelings about tolkien elves #and how the movies' portrayal of them has spun out into a broad cultural understanding of all elves as Very Stoic And Serious #insane to me. the hobbit specifically says 'lots of people dismiss elves as too silly to take seriously which is a deadly mistake'#AND NOW HERE WE ARE. INCAPABLE OF CONCEIVING OF CHARACTERS WHO ARE SILLY BUT SHOULD ALSO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY #INCAPABLE OF IMAGINING JOY AND WHIMSY AND A SENSE OF HUMOR AS EQUALLY VITAL FACETS OF A BALANCED LIFE #'elves are too wise to be silly' you fool. you fucking idiot. elves are too wise NOT to be silly.#.... anyway that was a very long tags tangent about elves in my post about gnomes dfkgjhgfdk #THE POINT STANDS. gnomes are like that.#gnome stuff #worldbuilding

“anne boleyn had no choice in becoming henry’s queen, nor did anna von kleefes, katheryn howard, nor kateryn parr. jane seymour, however, actively chose to walk into the arena with the lion. maybe she thought she was different. maybe she thought she was clever enough to tame him where anne had failed. maybe she thought the power of henry’s ‘love’ would be enough to change him — she wouldn’t be the first woman to make that deadly mistake. whatever she thought, she looked this killer in the eye and said, ‘you need me’. she wanted to be his wife, and accomplished that goal, knowing full well what kind of person he was.”

you people girlbossify jane more than her stans ever could

#source is lissa ifcc bc anyone is wondering #also ‘deadly mistake’? she got ill from complications in childbirth #he didn’t kill her.#she’s inarguably the only wife we can confidently say he didn’t turn on #and yet it’s so bizarre how belligerently people talk about jane as if his turning on her #is a foregone conclusion…#or rather i suppose henry’s monstrosity (to the point of inhumanity) is a foregone conclusion #jane seymour
