I have just finished reading "Primeval and Other Times" by Olga Tokarczuk. Results? I am lying in fetal position, crying. I was too late to realize, that this book is about Time. Once I did, it was already too late.

It's a beautiful prose, full of light and God. But the theme? The theme is hear-wrenching. I was not ready, to feel it all.

En ce temps-là, personne ne voulait être jeune. La jeunesse était quelque chose de honteux, d'incomplet, de bete. La jeunesse était comme le fléau de Dieu, ou comme le purgatoire de la promotion rêvée.

C'était l'époque des jambes arquées, appelées, Dieu sait pourquoi, la maladie anglaise. C'était l'époque des visages grêlés dont on disait que le diable y avait moulu des fèves. C'était l'époque des bouches édentées et des gencives pleines de chicots noircis qui ne faisaient peur à personne. [...] C'était une époque merveilleuse peuplée de gens très laids.

À l'époque, on méprisait la jeunesse. Personne ne l'avait encore embellie, exaltée, prolongée jusqu'à la mort. Personne n'avait encore appris à la jeunesse l'agressivité, la suprématie du fauve, la poussée totalitaire. La jeunesse ne savait pas encore qu'elle était une catégorie biologique à part, une formation sociale distincte, un état de privilèges particuliers dans l'état de l'existence universelle.

The chessboard landscape ai image is haunting me. stop sharing it please and redirect your attention to actual artists.

Here are some works by Jacek Yerka, a traditional painter and a big inspiration for me since I first discovered his paintings.

Sourced from Yerkaland official page of Jacek Yerka and Polish Masters of Art

Edit: I accidentally included one work by a different artist!

The last painting, Krynica was made by Jacek Szynkarczuk

my biggest issue with chain of thorns is that we're told about some big/emotional events but we don't get to see them...

oh! will and tessa cried when they found out their kids were trapped in london! right after finding out their nephew died. but you won't get to read this scene

gabriel and cecily's son died! and they found out when his body was brought to them! but you won't get to read that scene!

will and tessa found out about the gracelet and were upset. but you won't get to read that.

charles confronted bridgestock and came out to the entire enclave in a very brave and dramatic way! but you won't get to read that!

like??? we had to suffer through 300 pages of a bullshit love triangle (i refuse to believe people honestly thought herondaisy won't be canon) but we couldn't get some genuinely important moments???

Burdened with the knowledge that bards as a profession have celtic origins and given that The Witcher is set in the 1200's when this would still be true it means Dandelion himself is probably either of celtic birth or education but nobody outside of me probably gives a fuck about that [he also operates more like a celtic bard than a modern one we won't get into all that though] basically what I'm saying is that Dandelion is Welsh to me thank you for listening
