It’s been said before but the way people treat Luke has got to be one of the worst cases of infantilisation in media ever,, sometimes it feels like people aren’t even watching the same movies because how do you watch return of the Jedi and think “yeah what a stupid twink” bro straight up chopped off DARTH VADERS hand despite having crash course training in something Vaders been doing for the past like 30yrs.. if I were Vader I’d be so embarrassed. ALSO I’m so sick of people being like “Leia is so much smarter than him she was a senator and he was playing with toy ships” buddy idk how to say this but they had VASTLY different education levels, Leias’ parents were part of the rebellion and worked in politics where she was actively encouraged. Luke grew up in hutt space where his aunt and uncle were focused on making sure he didn’t turn out like his father or get himself killed. He’s also extremely skilled and crafty?? It’s always given me a weird feeling that people think that just because he doesn’t have a formal education that he’s dumb or something.

Anyways I <3 Luke, I think he’s one of the best Jedi characters ever

People will go on and on about the state of the world when talking about having kids. Honey, name me one time there was actually peace on earth. Name me the good time. Name me a time without war or famine or illness or death. When exactly should the human race be having children if not right now?

Too many writers are using generative 'AI' to make their book covers, so I've written a guide on how to make your own cover for free or cheap without turning to a machine.

If you can't afford to pay an artist, you CAN make your own!

I hope this is a helpful overview that covers the basics and points to some free resources.

Better comparisons of world building in Narnia vs Middle Earth have probably been written but here's mine:

C.S. Lewis does world building that is more plot driven. We learn things about the world of Narnia as the main characters learn about or experience them in the course of their adventures. This works because the main characters are usually outsiders to the world of Narnia experiencing these things for the first time, like the reader. (And even Shasta, who is from that world, spends most of his book getting into novel places and situations for him, so the same principle applies.) Because Lewis is writing for children, he is more sparing on detail to keep the story moving along. But the details he does include are always with an eye to sparking the reader's imagination. The sea people, the underground realms, the various mythical creatures - all are fantastical and strange and create the impression of a world full of unknown wonders at every turn. Father Christmas is real, because of course he is real, to the childlike imagination.

J.R.R. Tolkien does world building that is more driven by the sheer joy of what he most enjoys writing about. Much of it is plot relevant of course, but a lot of it really isn't - and that's by design. He's showing you his favorite things - languages and poetry and mythic history - and saying, "Look how wonderful they are!" He's writing for an adult audience, so he can afford more leisurely detours. He name drops mythic heroes and references which, if you want to read all of his legendarium, will make perfect sense - but even if you don't, they are usually understood by the characters who inhabit Middle Earth, and create the impression of a world that is ancient, rich in history, and full of meaning. Every seemingly extraneous detail speaks to the superabundant love of the creator for his creation.

Both are 10/10 no notes, I love these nerds.

You're about to close on your very own, suspiciously affordable and comfortable house. Just before you sign the contract, the realtor shows you the required legal disclosure: your new house is haunted by the type of presence you'll get from this spinner wheel.

Of course it is.
