The wizard of Waterdeep and Dead Papa Toothwort

If you know me, you must be aware of/haunted by two things: My brain has millions of connections for the most minor things in life AND I am fatally unhinged when it comes to anything that mingles folklorean horrors and literature. So when I caught note of the voice actor of Gale from BG3 - Tim Downie - recommending books or the folklore horror sort, I immediately crashed into reading one of them. Specifically Lanny by Max Porter. And given I really enjoyed Dead Papa Toothwort's depiction in the book, I thought; Why not let me connect all of this into on bundle that represents most of what went on within this one peculiar capsule of a singular brain cell?

Tara the tressym may also be a nod to my own two cats who kept me from refilling my tea when I read the book by sleeping on my legs entirely.

Hello! You seem like someone who reads a lot to me so I was wondering if you have any recommendation on books like 'Princess Mononoke' thank you so much! Your pinned post is amazing I hope someday be smart as you, you must read a lot and that's impressive

honestly don't know if this is supposed to be some kind of bait but I'm just going to respond to it as if it wasn't

unfortunately I don't really read all that much anymore, at least not outside of uni, and I can't really think of anything that truly feels like princess mononoke, but here are some books that came to mind as close enough:

descriptions under the cut!

the word for world is forest by ursula k. le guin

probably comes closest with its very strong environmental message, as well as themes of war and colonisation. it does have some magical and spiritual elements here and there, but still very much falls on the side of sci-fi rather than fantasy, and lacks the whimsical nature even the darkest of ghibli films at times possess. nevertheless my top recommendation!

lanny by max porter

if you're more interested in explorations of the mysterious character of nature, then you'll find that here. lanny also explores the relationship between humans and nature in a very interesting and unique way, and the way it's written makes it an almost dreamlike experience. it's a narrative of much smaller scale, but reading it is kind of what I imagine it must feel like to be part of a forest.

silver in the wood by emily tesh

speaking of being part of an enchanted forest, this little fairytale was basically made to be adapted into a ghibli movie. mythical forest creatures, fae law, gay love and a bit of a gothic twist – maybe mononoke isn't necessarily the best of miyazaki's works to compare it to, but it's not hard to imagine something like this story unfolding somewhere in those ancient woods.

ghost wall by sarah moss

this one might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it's worth a shot. a feminist narrative set in the woods and also very deeply thematically rooted in nature, with a subdued dark tone and occult atmosphere. the female protagonist's relationship to her wild and tamed environments is central, and throughout the novel there is a kind of quiet violence unsettlingly simmering just beneath the surface. I think san herself would love this book.

(honourable mention:

the buried giant by kazuo ishiguro

this is an honourable mention because I haven't actually finished reading it yet, but so far I think it might deserve a place on this list!)

Which do you think is more patient, an idea or a hope?

Max Porter, Lanny

[pairofkings]

A funny P.O.K joke would have been if throughout the first season, Brady and Boomer did not know Lanny's name and called him names like Randy or Andy, and the names progressively got further and further from his actual name.

I just finished the best edit video I think I've ever made! I'm so excited!! It comes out on the 20th and its an Olicity video!

This is insane bc my least favorite video I made was my first Olicity video a few years ago and I just didn't like how if turned out or the song I used for them.

But its part 1 of my Olicitys Story videos which I've had in my head for YEARS I just couldn't get them made!

I have 4 total already finished with 7😬 more on the way and I'm working on a Linda and Danny edit that should be up on the 13th!!
