I’m as confused as you are, dude. And mildly spooked. That’s weird. It reminds me of two things: 1) The time when my sister was going through files at the organization she volunteers at, and one person listed ‘the Illuminati’ under ‘Contacts’ and 2) that time I was walking down the street and …

[spittake] HWAET! No, really, I did. Look. I’m as confused as you are, dude. And mildly spooked. But… we don’t trust our protagonist, who is also a dick, and we don’t get much sense of the villain who doesn’t personally appear until the end and doesn’t have coherent motivations other than wanting to take …

Oh, alright. After all, I did get a recruitment email from the illuminati in between reading your reply and writing mine. Who am I to judge? [spittake] HWAET! This too. I think the “unseen threat” kind of villain can work, where you never really encounter them until the end, but you know they’re …

You underestimate my level of preparedness. I have a whole bottle of hard liquor here, just for such an emergency… You know what, it’s Hounded, I’ll go grab an additional one. Or three. Just to be on the safe side. Probably safe. It gets pretty crazy sometimes. The fact that the book …

Are you ready for more of Atticus “outwitting” the cops? No? Well too bad! Hah! You underestimate my level of preparedness. I have a whole bottle of hard liquor here, just for such an emergency… You know what, it’s Hounded, I’ll go grab an additional one. Or three. Just to be …

But why resist? Resistance is difficult, it tires you out… Just let it go, relax and let yourself go with the flow… Why ever resist your good friend Smith? Oh, alright. After all, I did get a recruitment email from the illuminati in between reading your reply and writing mine. Who …

She wondered why she’d ever thought trusting someone who wore that much eyeliner was a good idea. So, a funeral service for numerous people is currently happening and the narrative thought that now was a good time to crack a joke? Did any of Clare’s editors ever say anything about her …

It’s definitive in energetic worldbuilding; each race gets their own hair shading and eye shading! Shockingly, depicting somebody with just hair and eye shading is both bland and incapable. I don’t have the foggiest idea if he’s young, old, dainty, thick, upstanding, twisted… so I can’t picture him.

^See? Was that so hard? Having, like, actual character motivations? And chances where the main character’s actually in danger?? Maybe a fix fic is in order…

Actually yeah, he should have cut all of this crap. I’ve been thinking about it a bit and to be honest the story structure does not need too many changes for it all to fit reasonably well. It just needs some things to be better established and some things to be …

So, on how neopagans see modern portrayals of their gods, from my experience most are exasperated and disappointed but not surprised by how gods are portrayed in media. Those from less ‘‘mainstream’‘ traditions like say, Slavic or Finnish, tend to be happy and interested when somebody is making something with …

I was recently at the bookstore, just browsing around, hoping something will catch my attention. Then I saw something by one Kevin Hearne and went “Wait a sec, that name sounds familiar…”. Then I saw “Author of Iron Druid chronicle…” on the back and almost dropped it in disgust. Honestly? I’d …

Then Jace reaches in – side note, he’s described as having “pianist’s fingers” If I wanted to play Devil’s Advocate, I would say that this is supposed to provide contrast to the image of Jace ripping out the bars with his bare hands. But I won’t, because 1) how on earth …

Then Jace reaches in – side note, he’s described as having “pianist’s fingers” – I can sort of understand, if not excuse, how Jace’s looks get in the way when we’re in Clary’s PoV. She’s the shallow, obsessive teen with hots for her (presumed) brother, so it’s not that weird …
- Juracan Sun Jul 7 20:14:58 2019 (City of Glass: Chapter 12 - De Profundis)
But first, the chapter title – “De Profundis.” It’s Latin for “from the depths.” I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a reference, or if CC is just following that old bit of advice, “Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur” (“Anything said in Latin sounds profound.”) The famous usage of …

@Brendan Rizzo Thanks, that makes some amount of sense, I guess. Honestly it might have been smart for them to have the time machine with them, if it hadn’t been destroyed by Tor’s team. Having to wait through the history to see if things go alright seems risky, since if they …
