Wild-Ass Fantasy Series I Read As A Kid
"Sarah J. Maas" this and "Shadow and Bone" that, pshaw. Everyone know the best YA/Middle Grade fantasy books were random little collections of bizarre nonsense that'd keep you awake for a week straight. Such as:
The Young Wizards by Diane Duane: Two middle schoolers gain magical powers via library book and become wizards, which in this universe means "person who helps prevent the heat death of the universe." Featuring a pretty obvious gay wizard couple, talking cars, a white hole (opposite of black hole) named Fred, and Whale Rituals.
The Claidi Journals by Tanith Lee: An extremely funny girl flees servitude in a tiny city-state called the House, falls in love with a the leader of a nomadic tribe, and learns some deeply odd science-magic. Featuring robots, walking sharks, magnets that make you fly, psychic matchmaking rings, and so on.
Abarat by Clive Barker: Girl from the Midwest stumbles upon an entrance to another dimension, where there's an island for each hour of the day. She's threatened by an emo dictator, his grandmother, and her army of living dolls. Reading this series is like dropping acid, cannot recommend highly enough. Featuring a guy who has antlers and brothers who consist of heads on said antlers. Oh, and an evil tech billionaire.
Dark Reflections by Kai Meyer: Two orphans in an alternate version of 19th-century Venice learn to make magic mirrors while their city is being attacked by a reboot of the Ancient Egyptian Empire. The Venetian stone lions are alive. Featuring a trip to literal hell, a sphinx, a SCARIER sphinx, and a mermaid with legs.
The Sea of Trolls by Nancy Farmer: An aspiring tween bard in early-medieval England and his little sister get kidnapped by Vikings and meet all the VIPs of Norse mythology. Their surrogate grandpa is a master bard named The Bard. Featuring bitchy elves, matriarchal trolls, and a ghost named Jenny Greenteeth.
Please read these. Please. For the sake of your brain and soul.

Me: grows up reading fairy tales(kindness is always the answer) and Terry Pratchett(Well is anyone gonna fix this? No? Fine, guess I'll do it then) and Diane Duane(Entropy is the Enemy, you can stall Entropy, be kind, be understanding, treat all things with respect), Gail Carson Levine(you are never alone, you can break the curse, you are more powerful and brave than you could ever dream)
Me: grows up watching Star Trek(Explore, never lose your Wonder, do the best thing you can even in awful circumstances, never give up on what you believe in) Doctor Who(Hope is a helping hand, Hope is the man who lost everything making sure you don't, everything is a miracle, nobody is unimportant) Leverage(we're all different, that's what makes the world work, there are always people you can lean on, even if you're weird you belong somewhere, always fight for the underdog, sometimes the right thing ignores the rules)
Me: grows up listening to my Christian family and church constantly talking about being christ-like(feed the poor, yes even him, do not be afraid of the ones in pain, do not judge others for their work, do not blame a man when his life falls apart, help him, always reach out your hand, we are all connected)
Me:*internalizes all of that, working very hard to follow the examples that have been set for me, struggle for a bit with letting people walk all over me but eventually find balance that lets me care for myself too*
Guy I've been talking to: you're far more kind and sweet than most people I've met
Me: I don't see how I do anything special, I just followed the guidebook???
#doctor who#terry pratchett#gnu terry pratchett#diane duane#The young wizards#star trek#Leverage#gail carson levine#Personal#It's been 12hrs#I'm still just sort of#shocked pikachu face#Like I know I'm nice#It has caused me problems a lot#But at the same time after a childhood of being told how selfish I was#And a line of people who took advantage of me#Who then told me I was selfish and awful and everything wrong with their lives#When I finally told them they couldn't anymore#Gods that means so much to hear#I try so hard

I love big primordial death god characters that appears to young girl characters as giant wild animals who are lethal and kind.
#I wrote this as a joke about neverafter but then I remembered the sexy shark death god the wizard-whales in the young magicians series#Wait it was the young wizards series#And then I also remembered Aslan. Who I could make an argument is also a death god#In certain aspects among other things#So I really do love the trope.#D20#the young wizards#Narnia#Oh and that one short story someone was working on years ago about the tiny girl who’s the death god priestess in a world of gods#wow these are all coming back to me

here’s Wolfstar being a couple of menaces and driving James up the wall while he’s trying to study (he’s only “studying” in the library in attempt to impress lily, so no harm done)
I’ve been hoarding a bunch of Marauders scribbles I’ll probably never clean up so expect more incoherent chaos

Turns out spending 12 years in Azkaban and sleeping in a cave does not do wonders for your hair...
(based off of that one scene in Chapter 185 of ATYD)

POV: You suddenly bumped into the infamous troublemaker of Blackstaff Academy as he's running off with the Blackstaff he stole
#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#bg3 gale#young gale#bg3 fanart#baldur's gate fanart#baldur's gate 3#bg3#I love all his stories of how he's just trouble#when he was a student and even as a professor#such a handful this silly wizard#very very inaccurate Blackstaff put those rocks away#one day i'll make a wizard tav#and i'll imagine that they met during Gale's Blackstaff days#or maybe it's an AU where Stelle chose to study wizardry instead who knows

Regulus: Love at first sight doesn't exist.
James:
James: then how else do you explain how I felt when I first saw you?
Regulus:
Regulus: you love me?
James: apparently not, according to you.
