Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
The difference between Inkheart and Inkdeath are literally insane.
The bad guy in Inkheart is like… a local mafia boss and his handful of cronies. Oh no, he put us in the animal stables and people talk about that he enjoys killing but we don’t ever see it and the worst thing he does is giving Mo a cut on the face and putting people in cages I guess.
The bad guys in Inkdeath, however, are the ruler of the land but also Death herself and we desperately fight against destiny. Every other chapter there’s a fight and people get brutally killed. We are about to scatter Mos fucking kneecaps. Mind torture while experiencing actual torture in the underwater dungeon. Everything is out to kill you but with everything going on death is kinda the least of our worries??

I really really love how the one time the book asks "and how did farid get into this situation in the first place? what of his birth family" he just says "bunch of bitches" and the book moves on lmao
haha don't be silly, Farid,,,,,wouldn't it be absolutely wild if this story had two characters who could feel each other even when separated by walls 🧐
Two different “searches” here! On one side, a reference of the main series. When Dunster Happ lists his work at “boxing” the Great Powers for the Empire, right before trying to “box” Baba Yaga, he mentions his work at trapping the “last of the Balefule Hernes” in Hesse, and the “Janky Man” at “Harvest Town”.
Hesse is the Homelands version of Germany, and the “last Baleful Hernes” were confirmed by the recent revival of the comic to be actually forms of “Herne the Hunter”, one of the legendary leaders of the Wild Hunt. But what interests me is this “Janky Man” talked about. I couldn’t find any reference to who this entity might be. We know it is a male figure, and given he was trapped in a place called “Harvest Town”, he might be some entity related to the harvest - either the harvest itself, or the harvest season. It is quite hard to identify clearly the Great Powers of Fables since they mostly go by aliases or simple titles, and while for some the title is pretty obvious (the North Wind for the North Wind), other are a bit more “on the side” (Mr. Dark being the archetype of the bogeyman across all cultures). So if anyone has any idea.
A second reference that might be half-solved. In the spin-off comic “Cinderella: From Fabletown, with Love”, Aladdin has a Fable driver named Farid, who he mentions as having a story, though not as well known as those of Cinderella or Aladdin. Given he is close to Aladdin and the Arabian Fables come mostly from One Thousand and One Nights, he believe he might be a character from there.
But which character? The only Farid in the Arabian Nights I know of is Prince Farid, from the fairytale “The Rose’s Smile”. But note that I haven’t checked the entirety of the Arabian Nights in a VERY long time, and there might be another Farid in there. If it helps, Farid’s main role here is being a talented driver always here to assist Aladdin - and he has the talent to drive any kind of vehicle, be it a car, a plane or a boat. And, as Aladdin mentions in the picture belows, he apprently is also good at “mending carpets”, and a “resourceful man”.
One day I will pick back up my Arabian Nights book, but while waiting if anyone with more knowledge than me has a clue...
