The Blade Itself (The First Law #1)

Author: Joe Abercrombie Rating: 3/5 Logen Ninefingers has horrid luck and falls off a cliff. Jezal is a narcissistic prick who still wants to make a name for himself. There’s Inquisitor Glokta who keeps being used by the Arch Lector Sult to do his bloody business. And there’s a king in the North who declares war on the Union. So, a lot of chaos. Spoilers ahead.

anyway, I really, really love how, if you romance Davrin, there's that beautiful moment in the final goodbye when he refers back to (at least one of-) the lines that can be said in the main romance scene:

[Davrin: You said you wanted the road less-traveled. Seems like we've got it right here.

Davrin: All I care about is that I'm there with you.]

after a personal storyline that's in large part about him overcoming an aversion of uncertainty, and embracing the potential for change and choosing who one wants to be (like most of the others, but it's arguably even more pronounced in his, as it's reflected through the griffons' story), that's just a really beautiful sentiment.

after spending so long thinking of himself as a weapon, believing one's destiny to be set in stone, even believing himself -and by extension, the griffons- to be "meant" for one immutable thing by their very nature...

it feels very satisfying and touching to know that he's willing to head into an unknown future with nothing truly secure, except for the hand holding his.

no jujutsu kaisen characters have compelling dynamics with each other except the parasite/host pairs (and this is mostly thematic intrigue rather than the product of them having a super well-written relationship) and like. todo and yuuji for some reason

I think it’s so interesting that learning to draw requires you to develop observational skills. And since AI “art” bros can’t be bothered to learn to draw, they never really learn that fundamental skill. A skill that happens to make it very easy to spot AI “art”.

An art teacher will make you draw from life time and time again to get you to really see what’s in front of you. To really look at what you’re seeing. Someone who doesn’t want to learn to draw but would rather steal the hard work of others, throw it into a machine, and have a machine vomit out a questionable image also miss out on developing those skills. And maybe that’s why they think people will buy their bullshit images when they try to pass them off as being real. Because they can’t see the flaws, the tells, the obvious red flags, so how could anyone else?

Unfortunately, in a way, they are right. Way too many people fall for it. Because they, too, don’t have the observational skills to know better. And some of you are going to have to learn to develop those skills fast before these AI images infest everything. I’ve already seen far too many fake history images for my liking...

Don't see much love for Wyll tbh, I didn't think too much about it. My bad, I guess 🤷‍♀️
