“Sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this!” I’m not known for being on time, so I have no ground. Also, and I think I said this earlier, you don’t seem to be getting paid for any of this. I can’t really complain someone wasn’t being super prompt in replying …

Henious to the nth degree is slightly more descriptive than “save up to 15% or more”. Also, I know what to expect from Hearne, but the way I understood it, golems could either be brought to life by uttering God’s true name, which is either YHWH or YHVH with vowels, …

Sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this! Good points. There’s another point to be had (from a random white girl) that sometimes Native cultures are treated as living in some great utopia where nothing bad EVER happens and everyone gets along great. But the Mexica happily sacrificed people, and …

Anyway, I’ve sort of noticed the guy’s worldbuilding skills are about as good as my little brother’s. This guy has slightly more business writing a book than I do translating Beowulf. And you said this thing was popular? It’s a fairly popular urban fantasy series. Which is a bit of a …

Part of me is incredibly bothered by Atticus calling the witches naughty instead of wicked. It’s not like referencing the Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a stroke of genius, but Atticus loves himself his references and as is that line sounds pretty bad. Yeah, I guess that one’s right there. I …

“It sounds atrocious, Atticus, simply heinous to the nth degree, but I have no idea to what you are alluding.” This isn’t even proper “old-timey” English. If Hearne is not doing a Nordic accent, he could at least have Leif sound like he comes out of a Victorian or Regency novel. …

I don’t even use “Marxist” that much…well, I do now. Still, it doesn’t make much sense. Anyway, I’ve sort of noticed the guy’s worldbuilding skills are about as good as my little brother’s. This guy has slightly more business writing a book than I do translating Beowulf. And you said this …

Part of me is incredibly bothered by Atticus calling the witches naughty instead of wicked. It’s not like referencing the Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a stroke of genius, but Atticus loves himself his references and as is that line sounds pretty bad. As for us being closer to the end …

So, yeah, Atticus is basically saying that the witches look like a female rock band from the 1980’s. I figured it was something like that, but I’m wondering how much of his core audience is going to get this reference. So, he’s going to fight a bunch of pregnant women. Women who …

they might be dressed like the Go-Go’s. I’m talking Aqua Net and those shirts that hang off one shoulder and everything Aqua Net is a hairspray that was used to create popular 1960’s hairstyles like the beehive, but it was also used in the 1980’s by glam rock and hair metal …

Speaking of fanatic Jews, it’s not antisemitic on its own, to my knowledge, but it is an easy pairing with blood libel or what have you. Yeah, it seemed like something adjacent to horrible stereotypes/conspiracy theories, but it wasn’t quite there, so I didn’t know what to do with this? I …
- Brooklyn Sun Feb 18 09:01:26 2024 (Hexed Sporking, Chapter 16: Livin' on a Prayer)
Oy vey. Why couldn’t the stereotype be “constantly uses Yiddishisms”? I wouldn’t kvell at that (Hearne would probably make me kvetch) but it would be better than the goy writing a fanatic Jew! Speaking of fanatic Jews, it’s not antisemitic on its own, to my knowledge, but it is an easy pairing …

I’ll talk more about Kabbalah later; I know almost nothing about it and plan to learn more before continuing. This is me being annoyed about Hearne’s treatment of the Holocaust and namedropping a bunch of cool people. Bonus laziness points for the fact that I’m pretty confident he shouldn’t have needed …

1) The Jewish population is I think just past 1930 levels. HaShoah, the catastrophe, shouldn’t be used to make characters more sympathetic. Especially if it’s poorly done by a Gentile author who probably didn’t consult Jews. Yeah, it strikes me as in very poor taste. Hearne does say that he consults …

Yeah. A few notes about the Holocaust thing: 1) The Jewish population is I think just past 1930 levels. HaShoah, the catastrophe, shouldn’t be used to make characters more sympathetic. Especially if it’s poorly done by a Gentile author who probably didn’t consult Jews. 2) If these guys can help control countries, …
