It's always disappointing when a series makes a big deal about societal and structural problems in it's setting, making readers think it has interesting things to say about the subject, only to then resolve the problems by fighting The CEO of Racism, John Racist, so that all of society's problems would then get better because they promoted a new CEO.

That's because a lot of stories like this are written by people who don't actually understand societal systems. Which is to say centrist libs.

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.

I think people who say they hate rap, but like Hamilton and kpop should just never talk about their music interests ever

Btw, that idea that privilege makes you morally evil and suffering makes you morally good is just repackaged versions of the Christian concepts of the evils of luxury and the holiness of martyrdom. Hope this helps!

New fandom alert 😱

My daughter made me start to readlisten to the Stormlight Archive, and in order for me to cope, the bestest of daughters drew up a full reader of characters, maps, relationships, headings, and EVERYthing I needed.

She's already pointed out all the mistakes so you don't have to. 😅 Also, I'm only about eight hours in, so no spoilers please. (Though she's already taken care of that, too. 😊)

Hello! I'm not Christian, but I really like the spirit of your blog (writing + God). I love this addition you made on a post later down. I love sincerity in art, and you expressed that so well. Hope you're having a happy new year :)

"Don't make art defensively, but don't make art fearfully. Protagonists are allowed to be vanilla. Sometimes you'll get bashed. Sometimes you'll make things that are cringe. It still glorifies God when made in earnest, I promise. It's okay."

thank you thank you thank you!!! I appreciate this message so much. Yes, sincerity in art is maybe THE most important component. I hope you also have a happy new year -- and happiness in all the years after.
