^ Hard agree. It also rubbed me the wrong way that the author wanted to paint Rommily as evil for going against misogynist belifes while insisting that the misogynist should have been portrayed more sympathetically. And the section about “responsibility” and what is “natural” fails to consider whether the responsilibity should …

Invent an entire overpowered gary stu just so you can have… a white picket fence. Hearne might be the most boring man alive. And sex with goddesses who throw themselves at him, with no expectation/work of an actual relationship. Can’t forget that.

I have nothing particular to add except that making a Douglas Adams towel joke in a bathroom is about as lazy as you can get. Also, this bathroom is huge if he’s somersaulting in it. To be clear, he isn’t somersaulting in the bathroom, he somersaults out of the bathroom; it’s …

So, he gladly let his friends die or get hurt just to protect himself? What a hero. And what kind of self-centered logic is that? He protected them, so his enemies automatically found out where he was? What about random bystanders who were in trouble, how did his enemies find …

I used to try to protect all my friends in the early days, but gradually I realized that the very process of protecting them often painted them as targets–or pointed the way to where I was hiding. It became counterproductive to keeping my location secret, so I long ago fell …

Sounds more like a nitpicking. I have no issues with Riordan doing this. I mean… yeah. It’s kind of what we’re here for, honestly. But I don’t know if it even really counts as nitpicking, because it’s a problem that keeps coming up in Riordan’s writing, and as I (and Faranae!) …
- Faranae Mon Aug 21 12:22:39 2023 (Riordan, Dante, & Pop Culture References)
Especially when it’s not a stupid joke like what we’re talking about here (or half the stupid jokes in Iron Druid). Yup, the joke around Tom Jones is an argument about whether anyone actually pays for borrowing books, the owner’s egregious shelving practices, and later the fact that volume 2 is …

It’s pure name-dropping. It’s quick dopamine for the audience “look! you got that reference! Aren’t you clever? Yes you are!”. Much like the entirety of Ready Player One. I agree! I am a lot less harsh on Ready Player One than most people, because I feel like I read it before …
- SP Mon Jul 24 17:27:40 2023 (BFT3K, Hawkmistress!, Chapter 3: Proving Romilly Is Evil.)
I have to disagree with the definition of evil put forward at the end. Those are all negative character traits, but having all of them only makes you annoying, not necessarily evil, and plenty of people who don’t have all or even any of those traits would be considered evil …

It’s pure name-dropping. It’s quick dopamine for the audience “look! you got that reference! Aren’t you clever? Yes you are!”. Much like the entirety of Ready Player One. Oddly enough, the best intertextuality I’ve seen lately are in queer historical romance novels. I’m currently reading one which has a very …
