...Okay, this is a lovely shout-out. And to be mentioned in the same neighborhood as both Ursula Le Guin and Terry Pratchett and @neil-gaiman is seriously something I have to take a breath to recover from.
...
...Okay, I'm good. :)
(ETA: [laughter] "...both." It's pushing midnight for me, people. Forgive me.) :)

I'm reading A Wizard of Earthsea and I really liked Ged, a little bit of my vision
I would also scribble other characters at my leisure from there, I hope it happens
(the staff seems to be a show-off, but okay, I like It haha)

Round 5: Match 2 of 4
(Battle of the Literary Wizards)
PROPAGANDA UNDER THE BREAK
Why they deserve to be the ultimate wizard according to YOU:
Ged:
Vanquished (so far): Raistlin Majere, Marcia Overstrand, Magnus Bane, Carter Kane
"Just to reiterate: he raised the dead in highschool, speaks dragon language, and fixed death"
"the only archmage who learnt that being a goatherd was undoubtedly superior."
"Btw can turn into a dragon. No biggie. In a world where any transformation is extremely high tier magic."
"His emotional arc of learning to accept his flaws and also to be more humble is just… so relatable"
"Vote for him. Vote for his big stick. Vote for his birds. Vote for his degree. Vote for his evil shadow self."
"This man is truly tapped into powers that are old and deep and dangerous. and he is also. crucially. just some guy"
"VOTE GED or your ass is getting stranded in the tombs"
"Ged didn't become archmage and then quit to go herd goats to lose a poll bracket"
"ged literally became archmage like acknowledged as the greatest mage in earthsea and decided to go live out his days herding goats."
Gandalf:
Vanquished (so far): Saruman, Tom Bombadil, Howl Pendragon
"Big naturals"
"gandalf is like. THE wizard"
"gandalf obviously. with AND without his huge naturals"
"gandalf sweep. he is the blueprint"
"My heart belongs to the grey wizard ... a wanderer who chooses to embrace the small things in life and who fights not because he seeks domination but to protect the selfsame small things
"When you hear wizard, there's an 85% chance you think of Gandalf"
"do it for them (gandalf’s tiddies)"
"cmon be honest u think wizard u think something gandalflike first"
“No other wizards shall pass him”
“Its Gandalf"

The fact that Ged becomes a house-husband at the end of Earthsea so his wife and daughter can go and save the world makes me love him even more
