Saw a poll asking artists about their feelings about reblogging their own art but then it had a section for non artists to give their opinion which I feel like muddies the responses cuz it's asking two different questions; personal vs public opinion. So:

If God had a name What it would it be, and would you call it to her face If you were faced with her in all her glory What would you ask if you had just one question What if God was one of us

Its good for stories to just be one movie, one book, one series of 3 seasons, etc. In fact sometimes that’s the preferred length. Its good to use your own thoughts and imagination to fill in the blanks. Not everything should be franchised into oblivion and back.

The Varric Tethras: is a storyteller who is openly delivering a fictionalized novelization of what happened.
I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

I guess controversial opinion maybe, and this is just my personal feeling, but while I think Christine Miserandino's "The Spoon Theory" is a good story and does help to explain chronic illness if you actually hear the whole thing, out of context I'm not fond of "spoons" as a shorthand for the limited energy and required budgeting thereof that people with chronic illness (of which I am one) experience. Within the context of the story, it makes sense because the author just grabbed what was available to give an example to her friend while they were sitting in a diner together. Out of context, though, it sounds random (because it was!) and while it's an easy shorthand for people who are chronically ill and disabled when speaking to each other, because it's become common knowledge within the community, I'm dubious as to how helpful it actually is for people who don't have that experience if they haven't heard the whole story.
So personally, I tend to simply say I have limited energy, or my batteries are drained and I need to recharge, or I'm running on empty and need to rest. If someone in my life isn't going to accept that explanation, they aren't any more likely to accept it if I say it using a reference they don't understand. (It's worth noting that in the original story, the author's friend was already curious and eager to understand her experience.) What gets lost out of context is that spoons are not the important part. People will say that the spoons are metaphor, but they're not actually a metaphor; the spoons were just a handy visual aid because Miserando happened to be sitting in a diner with her friend at the time. Nothing about the word spoon, in my opinion, actually helps to convey the point.
The point was that when you have limited energy reserves because they are being constantly drained or kept low by your condition, you have to guard them and ration them carefully and limit your expenditure because overspending can be much more painful and even dangerous; that everyday tasks most people don't think about factor into that rationing; and that the rationing, the constant awareness of what can happen to you if you overspend, takes energy in itself. I think the story does a good job of conveying this, but just saying the word "spoons" doesn't, and that's why I personally don't really like to use it with anyone who doesn't already know the story behind it. I of course respect the right of other people to talk about their own experience in whatever terms work for them. It just doesn't work for me.
