So he's kind of tall, has hair, and wears t-shirts...sometimes.

Yeah, but I mean, he's Preston. PresTONE!

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

Thoughts on this ? ( my take as a American wtf guardian )

Oh, I've just read the article and it's... *sigh* a big fuckin yikes. I know a lot of people love Sarah J. Maas' novels - including some of my friends - and that's okay, but I think if you're leaning into and borrowing heavily from Welsh mythology then you should respect the culture. I won't lie to you, Wales has marketed itself as being a land of myth and legend (for example there's a tourism video - that my mam helped design! - that talks about Arthur), but there's a stark difference between that and, well, the A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Using the Mabinogion story beats I don't have a problem with that, but they are fundamentally misrepresenting another culture at the end of the day. You're skewering it. Wales isn't this one-dimensional place and its culture isn't yours to do with as you please. I think you should vigorously research the Welsh language and culture the way you would any other language and culture and mythology to better inform your choices so you don't fall into this trap. We've had to endure centuries of colonialism from the English. They nearly obliterated Welsh, for fucks sake. If you don't have the decency to even commit a little bit of research to such a vibrant culture then like whack your books in the bin. You're just continuing to do as they've done for your benefit. (Also, RHYSAND ISN'T EVEN A NAME. IT'S RHYS.)

Also, this goes for The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater too. She misrepresents Owain Glyndŵr. It's pissed me off for fuckin YEARS. He wasn't a king, he was a PRINCE for a start. He - and all others like him - referred to themselves as Princes of Wales after Owain Gwynedd first used it to differentiate himself from the English kings. 'Tywysog' means chieftain. Princeps Walliae is what he signs himself as on his letters.

Tim, suddenlly looking up: Oh My God Dick: What? are you okay? What happened? Tim: I just realized why Jason keeps making jokes about how he died Jason: Yeah, because I died. It was a fairly big thing Tim: No, it's because nothing else happened when you were Robin Jason: What Tim: Dick's the original Robin and the first sidekick, not to mention Discowing, so he has a lot to joke about- Dick: Hey! Discowing was cool Tim: No it was not. Neither was Ric without a k. Never be anything but Nightwing Dick: Aw, you like it when I'm myself Tim: No, I'm less tramatized when you're yourself. Anyway, Steph started a gang war, Demon Brat died and came back to life and is still Robin, Duke's not Robin but he started We Are Robin and jumped out of a police car before being a vigilante and I have my own things that we don't need to discus- Dick: Saved the world in a intergalatic baseball game- Jason: Hid the purchase of your own batmoblie in the batarang expenses- Dick: Sunk around and took photos of vigilante at the age of 9- Tim: THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DISCUSS! Back to what I was saying, Jason's the boring robin Jason: Rude- Tim: You were the good robin, the little crazy shit you did like steal the tires off the batmobile were kinda overshadowed by the fact that you like Jane Austen and you been red hood is because you died so everything you've done since then still has to do with the one thing that happened to you as Robin Dick: Oh My God. You said you were sticking to the same joke over and over again so it would have the same effect, but really you have nothing else to make jokes about Tim: Exactly! Jason: We really don't have to talk about this- Tim: I need to go tell Steph immediately Dick: I need to go tell everyone immediately
