It blows my mind that there is so much knowledge readily available to writers. I could go online right now and find whole lectures on ship construction so that my MC can believably work on a ship’s hull.

I mean, I’m not going to do the research. I’m going to make the ship magic to get around it. But, like, imagine. Imagine if I did

Incredible.

Part of the reason that Han, Luke and Leia work so well as the main trio is that they're all mistakenly under the impression that they're the sane one in a 'two idiots and the voice of reason' trio trope. Like "Somebody has to save our skins!" and someone has to stop Han and Leia from murdering eachother mid lovers spat, and someone has to keep the twins out of trouble involving force nonsense. And they're all equally as much trouble as eachother, but they all think they're the only sane person. And it's wonderful.

you know a book is good when teenagers are running around, digging up graves, finding magical forests, slaying demons (inner and outer), and committing literal murder but still have to make it to math class by 8:30.

Recently finished Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik and loved it! I drew what I envisioned for the Staryk King while I read it. Definitely wanted to lean into the monstrous side. 8)<

I recently finished reading Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver and I love Miryem's cold calculating determination.

         “So the fairy silver brought you a monster of fire for a husband,  and me a monster of ice.    We should put them in a room together and let them make us both widows.”

                                                      ― Naomi Novik, Spinning Silver

"I let Sergey's shoulders drop to the ground by the white tree in a heap, beside our mother's grave," Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver

"I had taken her hand, and she was staring at the mirror, her face pale, and pulling against my grip instinctively. I held on tighter. 'Don’t let go,'" Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver

I finally got to read Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik and oh my god. pure fable-like fantasy where the main character is jewish and it actually informs her entire life. all of the side references were jewish things. she keeps shabbat. she deals with realistic antisemitism from her neighbors. her family makes brachot over their meals together. they sing songs in hebrew.

and yet, that wasn't what the book was about. the book wasn't about judaism and how jewish she is, the book was about how to deal with malicious elves threatening the town, among other things like magic and demons and alternate realms. it was incredible.

I have quite honestly never read a book like this. I kept getting excited whenever I got the subtle references to jewish things. like when the main character's father said "are there even ten righteous men among them?" when referring to the elves. like, I got that! I get that reference! I know which story that's referring to! I learned it in school growing up!

and this is what goyim get all the time??? what a rush!
