i firmly hold that it's my duty as a reader to believe it when an author tells me at the beginning of the series that the dragons are gone forever and never coming back. but god it's a struggle sometimes.

#that is: i don't think it's fair to hold that kind of genre knowledge against a specific instance of it #not even because while i've read hundreds of bad fantasy novels someone else might not have read any #but because hm. 'the dragons are gone' is the foundation of a kind of feeling - discovery; renewal; awakening - #there's not a way to get the feeling later on without laying the foundation #so even if the foundation feels like busywork for me the reader #it has to be there in some form or other

I love Brennan being shocked at Siobhan translating elvish as if she hasn't translated Latin on this show without blinking. Come on, man.

#dimension 20 #fantasy high #siobhan thompson #brennan be so real right now #who did you expect to answer that Q if not her? #they had to get 100% and they only had 2 passes! #how were you not banking on shiv getting that one? #also *I* know mellon is friend in elvish and I've never even read the books! #I have seem the movies though now bc of robin mostly #hi robin

☆ 'someone finally cares about you' prompts.

by @ricesinspo, credits appreciated!

[★] they wrapped their arms around you - you can't remember the last time someone hugged you like this.

[★] getting pulled aside while everyone else is yelling at you. they get you like none of the others do; they know not to yell.

[★] patiently listening to all of your problems. like actually listening.

[★] ^ with no judgement.

[★] they notice whenever something's wrong.

[★] letting you cry into their arms. telling you it's okay, everything is okay - and you know it's true because they're with you.

[★] letting you cry at all; realizing you don't have to hide your tears in front of them.

[★] "in a world where people don't care about me, i'm lucky to have you."

[★] ^ and then they're like "who hurt you" / "where are your __ i just want to talk" lmao

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

#the locked tomb #harrowhark nonagesimus #john gaius #harrow the ninth #this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL #this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships #(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think #the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real #but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed) #there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone? #yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't) #the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god #when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care #(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution) #and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on #it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there #while john is -- well he sure is being john huh #this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end #(with john slam dunked right into hell that is) #it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up #john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

i couldn't rest until i made something this is driving me insane. so what if i dismissed your success as because of your hardships instead of in spite of them

guy whos sooooo normal abt the Mountains of Chaos fantasyhigh. Like, the fact that Brennan establishes it as this classic adventure location full of monsters and dungeons for learning adventurers to explore and gain xp, and it’s also the site of kalvaxus’ lair and the temple of the earth defiant its a very fantastical place. BUT, it’s also the place where riz’s grandparents immigrated from, and it’s the place where the cultures worshipping gods like ruvina and ankarna originated from, and the fact that solace literally has a border patrol for the mountains of chaos that the Applebees are literally apart of. It’s something about these fantastical elements that are so often focused on by the people in solace, so completely glossing over the people and cultures that live there and originate from there. I’m so regular about it and I think about it a normal amount

#Soooo obsessed with the politics of fantasy high #Like the fact that they have dignitaries from fallinel and people like the dawns from high court in solace #And provide people like bill seacaster with solace from the law #And yet they have an active border patrol on the mountains of chaos #The fact that it’s not even like it’s own nation and the members of solace probably don’t recognize the people that live there of having #An organized government #Sorry it’s so fascinating to me I would read literal fake academic essays about it #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year

love seeing brennan get rocked so hard in the dome that he has to physically sit back down

#and hold a hand up to his head like he actually got hit #other things i love: emilys cackle. siobhan’s hot purple birds. zac having READ THE FUCKING BOOK #you can SEE the 1d4 psychic damage hit. #dare i say 2d4? #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #d20 #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #uh oh!

thinking sooo hard about fabian’s presents to everyone in freshman year…..he acts like he doesn’t care but he’s BEEN paying attention enough to get people super personalized gifts and like the way everybody responded with like ‘this is too good to be true’ ‘how could somebody have gotten us our hearts desires’ i’m sorry he’s the guy of all time

#AND KRISTEN STILL READS THE BOOK #so many times she does things and goes can i just my world religions book #just him wordlessly saying it’s okay that you’re not sure #and it’s exactly what she neeeeeeds #sobbing over this CONSTANTLY #fantasy high #dimension 20 #d20 #fabian seacaster #dropout #fabian aramais seacaster
