Inda’s on sale for the next few days if anyone wants to peer into my heart.

If I loved this series less I would be able to talk about it more (eloquently), but these books have such a profound and intricate sense of events—what drives the people who motivate change, for better or worse. Its characters are complex and rarely flat, and while the series is about battle, politics, and war, and the people are always flawed, its heartache is spectacularly, beautifully woven.

Sherwood Smith calls these books the historical arc, and I think they capture the way history moves, all while allowing you to see the people who created it and why they did. To me, it’s a masterwork of character and sociological storytelling, from the complexities of love and loyalty to the absence of both.

And if you enjoy the first book, I’m pretty damn sure you’ll love the second (and hopefully the third and fourth too).

Books I read in 2024: the Inda series by Sheerwood Smith

Nothing is "always," my dear. Except the greater truths, one of which is that power begets politics, and politics are more dangerous than war because there are fewer rules.

[booksandchainmail]

nothing like a reading a six hundred page secondary-world fantasy novel only for the glossary at the end to casually mention the protagonist is descended from vikings who found a portal from earth

Werewolf: *transforming* You have to go, now! I don’t want you to see me like this…

Human s/o: Don’t push me away! I’m not afraid of you!!

Werewolf: No no I’m just really dumb as a wolf and I don’t want you to see me bark at a mirror for two hours

Whumpees who are not innocent.

Whumpees who have done Very Bad Shit.

Whumpees who know they have done Very Bad Shit.

Whumpees who don't feel guilty for (most of) it. They were doing what they could to survive.

Whumpees who don't want to be told it wasn't their fault. They need to believe they made choices. They need to believe they had some kind of agency.

Whumpees who'd rather be seen as a monster than a victim.

I heart prey animal rage I love when characters are fucking insane with terror

[tlirsgender]

When they're not dangerous like a hunter but dangerous like a spooked horse kicking your skull in

[tlirsgender]

Let's hear it for prey animal rage let's hear it for killing everyone else in the world before you'll let them catch you

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Reblog if you're a writer who doesn't use AI.

I love this picture because nobody is in any kind of recognizable fencing stance.

Adi Gallia is holding a boquet for a Prom pic.

Mace is about to knock a curveball into the stands

Yoda is swinging a broom at a spider on the ceiling

Ki-Adi-Muni is taking a creepy tinder selfie

Obi-wan is on Coruscant’s next Top Model and Space-Tyra has just told him “Play golf, but make it Fashion”

And Anakin Skywalker is grinding his flat ass on an stripper pole.

[anentirestarwar]

To be fair, all of these are entirely in character.

[ranty9000]

Most of these don’t even match the actual lightsaber combat forms lol
