Happy 24-6-01!
finished lightlark 2! this isn't a spoiler, it's bad
it's pretty much the exact same as the first book but more aimless and scattered. there's a lot of very obvious addressing the critique going on. a series of side quests around a plot which vaguely exists (not really) and an endless amount of grim fanservice. grim flashbacks are half the book and almost entirely a series of fanfiction tropes. it is extremely obviously cribbing off ACOTAR at every turn. it is not a duology and sets up another. the worldbuilding is really really trying to convince you it exists now but is infuriatingly bad. the author thinks you think there's any mystery if isla will date oro (no time or space) or grim (half the book and half a dozen sex or near sex scenes). isla has a magic giant warrior cat now. it's a panther. she names it lynx.
the book says her panther has pointy ears.
Here's the notes on the Medieval Fantasy Star Wars au! I'll add to this as I do more. If you're new here, this is the saga of me drawing Star Wars but like what if it was Fantasy?
This tweet had me absolutely flabbergasted twice because I read this and I was like "Dame Aylin? The tall, blonde, supermodel demigoddess? How is she at all outside of the beauty standard? This is stupid" and then I scrolled down and there were a hundred replies by straight dudes who were calling her ugly and talking about anime women they prefer

saw a post about redemption arcs and i realized that a lot of our discussions would be improved if we discussed villains for what they are (pieces of a narrative whole) instead of what they definitely are not (real people on trial)
really hard for me to get people into xmen because i 1) do recommend starting with giant size and reading from 94 onward 2) also feel the need to warn people about how claremont is an insane person
