farseer was first person bc it was a memoir being written by an older Fitz, attempting to write the history of the six duchies but getting distracted by his own relation to the tides of history, and his wistful reminiscing and frustration as he makes sense of all that's happened to him. this is why the epigraphs are written in a different tone, and why they obfuscate info we later learn Fitz always had. (the origin of the fool, the truth of the elderlings.)

liveship traders is third person probably just because it's multiple pov, and it has to be multiple pov to effectively tell the story, and it's hard to write first person multiple pov and keep the voices clear. plus, there's no more framing device. (wintrows too humble, kennit would rather die than reveal his private thoughts and feelings to another living soul, and you could not BRIBE althea into doing the long and boring work of writing a memoir...)

HOWEVER. FUNNIEST OPTION: liveship traders is third person bc starling told him to "please get a hobby" for the 50th time and so hes resorted to writing historical fiction

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

I'm convinced Mythbusters needs a reboot. Misinformation or mythinformation if you will, is at an all time high. We NEED the show that promotes critical thinking to come back. It doesn't need the same cast, in fact I think it would be better with some fresh faces. Imagine all the good it would do if you could just show your crazy uncle the Mythbusters reboot episode that debunks his anti-vaxx conspiracy in an easily digestible and entertaining format.
