Is that dion in your header?
. i actually don't know if all of these even ended up on twitter... if they did it was stream art. it can be a late night weird crossover debut if they didn't, though.

many months ago i read babel and now that i've finally gotten far enough down in my interminable drafts to find this post again i can finish expressing opinions on it. i think this review does a good job of encapsulating a lot of the critiques ive seen in a nice, concise manner. of the many things i agreed with here, i think the most relevant one is that rf kuang is a good writer, and she is a good scholar, so 'this should have been her magnum opus. but because she, like a lot of writers, writes what she knows politically and culturally, she's begun to be seen as sort of...trendily woke by the industry and therefore the politics in her stories are focused more on, perhaps even by her own editors/publishers, than the actual story, which in its own way actually prevents her from being able to iron out her stories' flaws and buff up their strengths. and this isn't to say that her writing SHOULDN'T be political - but as a friend said a while back, it sometimes reads less like a novel with a plot and characters than a beginner's primer to imperialism (a thing most of its target audience doesn't actually need, because they're way past beginner's primers in terms of Talking About Empire). in that way, if it had been allowed to be a fantasy novel, it would actually be able to exist in both worlds: with more nuanced and denser politics and a more engrossing and rich story and characters.
the second review discusses something i disagreed with the first review about - the magic system, which the first reviewer liked but the second reviewer thought was a fundamentally flawed means of engaging the subject matter.

A Jon with many eyes, inspired by Resigned, Though Not to Fate by @jevonne This fic has stolen my soul. I loved the spine chilling imagery of the many many eyes so much I just had to draw it

I wanna write, the ideas are there, I have the time, but every time I sit down to try executive function just "no." I feel like a bottle about to burst

Coming to terms with Dungeon Meshi being over because the ending was super good but it's overrrrr no more of my little guyssssss (except for whatever Ryoko Kui was teasing in her author's note)
But you might have noticed that I am an image hoarder so Dungeon Meshi will have a long ongoing presence still on this blog. At minimum to the anime's air date. Possibly beyond the anime's end date.
