#spring look book

[geniemillies]

think i was gaslit into liking and thinking velaris was this super beautiful, advanced, better than every place ever city when it's literally just idk new york or something

i miss the whimsical of spring, something about faerie people in masks in those cliche fantasy medieval clothes. i miss the rose gardens and horses 😮‍💨 also the lesser fae being granted sanctuary and work in the high lord's mansion. they have celebrations that don't even belong to spring just for the refugees from other courts. forests. the starlight pool. the plants apparently sing if you listen hard enough? will-o'-the-wisps!?!?!? omg

grabs book 1 and starts violently shaking it. book one felt like i was really in faerie land, after that everywhere else just wasn't doing it for me. 😔 spring wasn't much but it was homey and quiet and void of any weird drama love triangles between sibling-lovers(?) or weird tiny demon ladies who drink blood that no one really trusts or slums in the perfect city ever or whatever it is that velaris has going on idk

“Suddenly Moomintroll lifted his nose and listened! Far away Snufkin was playing his gayest song: ‘All small beasts should have bows in their tails.’ And Moomintroll began to run towards the music."

Down by the river he came upon Snufkin who was sitting on the bridge with his legs dangling over the water, his old hat pulled down over his ears.

Hello,’ said Moomintroll sitting down beside him. ‘Hello to you,’ said Snufkin, and went on playing. The sun was up now and shone straight into their eyes, making them blink. They sat swinging their legs over the running water, feeling happy and carefree.”

- Finn Family Moomintroll, 1948

Does anyone know how to get over hangups about like, writing. I write 'lore' and worldbuilding stuff but I have almost no experience with writing anything narrative, nor have I ever finished writing a story in my entire life. I used to write stories about characters as a teenager but at some point the thought became humiliating and I just can't anymore

It's crazy that people still uphold show!Sansa as a well-written character and pretend that liking her is the pinnacle of feminism when it would be infinitely more impactful to acknowledge her terrible and misogynistic writing. This is the same character who, while written by two men, was thankful for the abuse she suffered because it allowed her to grow. The same character who we had to be told was smart because the writers were too lazy to develop or show her intelligence. The same character who had to rely heavily on the men surrounding her and ended up accomplishing nothing on her own merit ( and no, thinking that she deserved to be Queen doesn't mean that she earned it). She is not well-written, she is not complex, and she is not a feminist character. Which is fine! If you enjoy her then good on you, but please stop pretending that she's something she isn't just because you feel the need to justify liking her character

🧺 domestic bliss...? (and matoba's discerning taste in clothing)

alternate version: natori can have a little bit of inner turmoil about his feelings. as a treat

Books of 2024: THE AMBERGRIS TRILOGY by Jeff VanderMeer.

Up next! This series is how I'm bridging my current writing/revision project with the one on deck for my personal nano. They're both Weird Stories, but the one I'm working on now is Weird (genre), like VanderMeer, and the one I'm planning for November is going to be Weird (fungus), also like VanderMeer. I hope to get Driscoll vibes AND some New Book vibes out of this!

for some reason i need furina and scara to be bitchy best friends

i need scara and furina complaining about arlecchino

i need them venting about how much their respective gods fucked them up

i need them bonding over reinventing themselves

they would actually be such an iconic duo
