Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1160 – c. 1220) explaining the importance of understanding that all creative work is inherently derivative once you study the oral tradition of storytelling and history and that’s okay because generations have always reformatted tropes and themes to make them relatable to their current audiences

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

It's so funny to me that Mary Shelley, her husband, John Polidori, and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story and she wrote fucking Frankenstein. Imagine losing a competition that badly. Imagine just doing a silly little competition with your friend and she basically invents a new genre and creates one of the most famous characters in fiction. Imagine being proud of your little story and then she shares one that people will still read every day in 200 years. Imagine doing a writing competition with your wife and she becomes so recognizable that you'll always be known as Mary Shelley's husband

we as a community of fic writers are not nearly doing enough damage with the fact that wylan was raised religious and subjected to exorcisms and surely called a disappointment to the god of trade that he couldn't worship because of his 'defect'. where is the religious trauma in wylan. why aren't we doing anything with that.

[dcvina-claires]

omg guys jesper and matthias both learn to fear the grisha after their family’s death. they’re both conditioned afterwards that being around grisha will get people killed. they hold on to that hatred until their partners help them let go of it. guys as jesper overcomes his internal prejudice, matthias overcomes his external one. their arcs parallel each other. guys

Back on my Wylan soap box: Mercher ending doesn’t make sense. Living in the mansion ending DOESNT MAKE SENSE.

Let. My. Boy. Be. Free.

Like PLEASE- when was it ever implied Wylan would be interested in the merchant council???? Why would he stay in that god awful house????

The only reason I can see is Wylan wanting to improve Ketterdam but that is a stretch. Not sure how much he could actually do from that position.

He deserves to get his money and sell that house and move to a different one wherever he wants to live. And then to become a musician and artist.

Be real. How many creatives do you know that would stay in a business profession if they had the means to pursue art?

[drieddpetals]

wylan ends up back in the mansion and as a mercher because it's the narrative solution to his story. wylan's entire life has been plagued by the idea that he cannot be something grand or meaningful because of his disability—jan van eck was so adamant on casting him out because he "wasn't able" to become a mercher due to his dyslexia. at the end of the story, when wylan becomes a mercher and moves back into the house, (that does rightfully belong to him, mind you, and that was also something jan tried to take away from him via the original will) it's the full embracing of everything that he's ever been told he cannot do. narratively, it's a kind of full circle moment for him, because it's him rejecting every denouncement his father (and the world at large) has assumed on him for his entire life. by living in the house and being a mercher, he's getting the power that he was told he'd never ever be capable of. granted i don't find his ending to be as fleshed out as it maybe could be, but i personally find it more representative than anything.

Ok I have a yap coming because I understand what you're saying and love engaging in this sort of discussion. Just give me a few hours to recover from the four hours I put into my Jesper rant.

[drieddpetals]
