Wynthro - Golden Days And Silver Nights

Midday cowboy doing the grocery shopping

Spirit Bear Possessing a Man's Soul by Inuit artist David Ruben Piqtoukun, 1984

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Me in the middle of being tortured : I hate this song can you skip it please

Justice/Vengeance was just kind of the like, the over-arching theme for early dragon age and so the way that they just abruptly started scrubbing it from every aspect of the series and replacing it with other stuff is so crazy. like I'm joking about the "it's because they hated that blond freak" thing but genuinely what did happen. Did they just get scared.

conclave the book is like so specifically written too like ... its so crazy. bellini's line about "families having 10 children because mama and papa didn't know any better" & "standing for everything tedesco does not" is like only a few pages apart from the reveal of tedesco's backstory being that he's the youngest of 12 kids and grew up destitutely poor from that (& still eats like he's terrified someone might steal his food). like ohh... tedesco is a product of his environment and the paradigm of the traditional values failing people & still trying to force those values on people despite knowing the firsthand experience of the way it sucks. crab in a bucket style.

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

pull our red string of fate harder i'm trying to jerk off
