Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened
“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“
i found the specific quote i was thinking of x
Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style
UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.
damn gurl :’]
“Mean-spirited” is the perfect word for harry potter…
she might not have copied anything from Le Guin but boy fucking HOWDY did she lift from Pratchett 💀
Stansas spent years (literally over a decade) saying that Arya couldn't have [xyz] endgame because it belongs to Sansa just for George to casually say that he planned on killing her and there's only a chance he might change his mind. All those theories destroyed on a random Thursday and the gag is George probably doesn't think it's surprising info because it's obvious to anyone who read the books. But tumblr/reddit user "asongofsansaandsansa" told me she was the single most important character in the books and Arya was only her prop. There's levels to this shit, and we tried to tell you being a main character doesn't make you a key character.
All that time spent complaining about Arya fancasts, fanart, and theories when you should've been worried about whether Sansa will even survive TWoW

You're style is so cute!!! I would love to see Edric Dayne (or Arya & Edric) in your style! But don't feel pressured to do it and it's okay if you don't want to, Hun!!! You can do it in the future or never and it's okay too of course! Take care! Thanks for providing so many new fanarts for the fandom!!!

Dear rude anon. If you don’t believe that Will is already in a trance at the end of S4, that’s fine. It’s a theory, after all.
You can think that Will is whiny and useless. I couldn’t disagree more, and I’m sure S5 will surprise you (and maybe piss you off), but that’s your opinion.
But what you say doesn’t make much sense. So you think that even if Henry’s already put Will in a trance, wasting literally no time, it doesn’t mean anything.
Then why do you think this powerful man would target useless Will the moment he’s back in Hawkins? Maybe he just has another message for El? Like: TOLD YOU, hehehehehe
Or he can’t find someone else to stalk or possess? Someone bigger and already strong without the power of the MF’s particles? Not to mention that Eddie’s body is right there, in the Upside Down. And the scenes in the prison prove that the particles CAN control dead bodies (yes, I believe we’ll see Vecna!Eddie in S5)
Henry has an army of monsters, he is undead and basically unkillable, but for some reason he keeps targeting this kid.
Maybe you think that it’s obvious that things happen to him because he’s a main character. But does this seem the kind of story where things just happen, with no deeper meaning? Sorry, I can’t agree with that. These writers have proved that everything happens for a reason. The villain is the mirror/foil of both the kids involved with the supernatural plot. In every season there are references to other works, tons of easter eggs, meaningful callbacks to previous seasons. And the music is always a fundamental part of the story as well. So it’s clear that, if Henry keeps targeting Will, there must be a reason.
Let’s see how many times he did it.
S1. The abduction Coincidence! Will was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ok. Possible. Sure, his kidnapping is still different from any other attack we’ve seen in the show, even from the attack of the real first victim, the scientist, but let’s say they wanted Will’s kidnapping to be as mysterious as possible. Why wouldn’t Henry try to get Will in his house, if he was involved in the kidnapping? We still don’t know, but I have a theory on that. Maybe it’s crazy, but imo it makes sense (here)
S2. The possession Just the consequence of the coincidence in S1? Will spent a week in the UD and coughed up an UD creature, so why not possessing him? Makes sense. Well, there are curious details we shouldn’t ignore, like the eye color change during the possession that doesn’t happen to other people who get possessed later (I talk about it here) But it is possible.
By the end of the season tho, it seems that Henry/MF is a little obsessed with Will. They could’ve shown the MF looming over Hawkins, since he’s a threat to everyone. But he was at the school, and the lyrics of Every breath you take mean that he’s still stalking Will, specifically (more here) We now know that Henry wants to kill El since 1979, but in S2 he wanted to kill everybody but Will. The song tells us what he thinks about him: “Can’t you see, you belong to me”. He wants his Zombie boy. And not to spy on El, imo. If Henry was still spying on Will after the possession just to find El, then in S3 he would’ve found her way sooner, since Will spent a lot of time with El in that season.
At this point, Will has been targeted three times already. In S1, beginning of S2, end of S2.
S4-S5. I believe Will is already in a trance at the end of S4, yes, and that there is evidence that supports this theory (here my post but other people have talked about it. heroesbyler aemiron-main, and mIchaelwheeler). Then there is the pic of the actor who plays Lonnie. So it is possible that he’s part of Will’s vision and that they already filmed it. Also, we know for sure that Will is going to be central in S5, and that the UD being stuck on the day he went missing is the key plot point of the last season.
Seriously, I have no idea how people can think that Will is not an important character or that the villain keeps targeting him because… Coincidences! Things just happen! It’s all about El. No, actually it’s all about Henry and HIS story…
That night she lay in her narrow bed upon the scratchy straw, listening to the voices of the living and the dead whisper and argue as she waited for the moon to rise. They were the only voices she trusted anymore. She could hear the sound of her own breath, and the wolves as well, a great pack of them now. They are closer than the one I heard in the godswood, she thought. They are calling to me.

Bran's arc includes
- Refusing to die when everyone expects you to
- Remembering yourself and helping others find their true selves
- Valuing life
- Finding hope and bravery even in the worst of times
- Being dutiful and protecting people
Yet some think Bran is going to be an evil sorcerer/will die and be possessed by bloodraven.
It's funny how Bran is the most unpopular among the Starks given he personifies what House Stark is most.
Winter is Coming - Bran has the closest link to the cold traveling far north under the worst conditions.
North Remembers - Bran is the one remembering the forgotten past and magic and has the best knowledge of the past starks.
Bran has the closest connection to the direwolves and weirwoods.
Bran is also the one who gets strength from the old kings and has the most parallels to the old starks.
