one thing i am really enjoying abt rivers of london is peter grant's autistic curiosity. why DOES it work like that!!! i cannot engage with a Magic Is Real story without trying to work out the fundamental principles even if the story itself isn't remotely concerned with them, and im not saying every story should be concerned with them, i spend a lot of time suspending my disbelief very purposefully, but oh it is so nice to have the pov guy also be like. i noticed magic made technology break so i spent a full day doing controlled experiments about it

#yelling at clouds #the thing that always Gets Me is modern fantasy yknow #when magic is a thing most people don't know about and doesn't seem to have meaningfully affected humanity's development #i am less inclined to wonder How It Works for fantasy that's like. uhhh. only example coming to mind is septimus heap #if magic is well-known and studied and sociopolitically relevant. yknow.
