grian as a youtuber to me as an outisder is so funny bc when i was a wee lass and watched him then eventually moved on and whatnot in my mind my vision of him was a polite fellow who was maybe a little passive agressive sometimes. imagine my surprise when i got into the fandom and saw how everyone else percieves him

I love the college of winterhold. everyone there is casually deranged and there's like an alarming number of students and staff who threaten you immediately when they meet you. it's always one of the first questlines I do. which makes it even funnier when you get made the arch-mage of the college. I'm level 12 and got through this questline knowing exactly 3 spells. what do you mean you want me to lead the college. this school CANNOT be an accredited institution

it takes years for terry pratchett's books to get consistently good. I would argue that the series doesn't really hit its stride until Feet of Clay, which means that pratchett was writing and being published for 12 years before he found his groove.
and I genuinely can't imagine that. in part because I do think that pratchett's publication calendar looks different than what's expected of writers today---he had about 2 books published per year for his entire career. he must have been writing furiously, and the publisher must have relatively quickly gotten these to press.
but also....I just can't imagine any modern-day publisher keeping an author on their list for twelve years, unless that author is a prestige get or a constant presence on the bestseller list. And what does it say about the state of publishing that you can't go on publishing someone's good-but-not-revelatory books until they figure out what story they're trying to tell?

People are so weird about Milsiril! Kabru’s incredible competency is the direct product of the work she put into raising him! Even tho every choice he made broke her heart! He’s Mommy’s Little Killer and she deserves some credit for that!
To be fair it's mostly this type of thing that makes me the most sad
It's the fact some people have the most uncharitable reading of her that makes me a little disheartened.
I mostly think she did her best even if it in some ways it wasn't good enough, even Kabru agrees.
"While living with her, he came to the realization that there was no way to achieve mutual understanding with the long-lived races. That said, he doesn't have any particularly negative feelings about them."
She took care of him and at the very least didn't re-traumatize Kabru, like Rin was after being saved by the other elves.
But just to be clear I do enjoy when people make drawings or fics where Milsiril is actually evil. I think fanom creations that differ from the source material are great and having toxic relationships, especially someone that treats you like a living doll, is a very fun concept. (Especially if Mithrun is the victim)
I just don't believe that's really who the character is.

no way in hell would the entire fucking country look at a little 12 year old white boy and be like "yeah I definitely believe that this child is a terrorist" like they did in TLT
described as looking 'Mediterranean', tans easily
not uncommon for ppl in the levant to have the dark hair/complexion + light eyes combo
also not uncommon for (non-muslim) swana ppl in the US to have vaguely western-sounding names. his last name was anglicized don't ask questions
fun nod to civilizations like the phoenicians being seafarers, poseidon's multiple connections to phoenicia in greek myth + historically being worshipped in the area
he would use the heinous insults that exist in arabic as casually as one would talk about the weather. he doesnt even actually know arabic he just knows how to say fuck you in all its iterations.
just realized how funny this hc would be in light of that comment he made in SoM shitting on hummus LMAOOOOOO
