Dear Danny, Since everything's Spanish out here no rock 'n' roll. Peace & Quiet great for songwriting & mulling over n.y. & why. Ha! Lou

this is the first time ive written a tumblr post for a long time for no purpose other than to write it. next month this tumblr will be 10 yrs old, i think im having an artistic third life crisis, there's lots of things i'd like to make but don't want to make because the thought is tiring; i think ive forgotten how to create for play without an ulterior motive. i had made this tumblr during my artistic quarter life crisis then & maybe i should use it for that reason again...

jfc i can’t work tumblr, why is this so hard, it’s the simplest social media to use

i really miss drawing realm of the elderlings stuff, it was a really special time reading them and interacting with everyone else. :’) maybe one day i’ll revisit my old fanarts with my newer better skills, do another reread...

Favourite RotE Book:  Fool’s Errand

Why:  Beginnings are always my favorite parts, and the Tawny Trilogy are probably my favorite RotE books. We meet a bunch of new people, revisit Buckkeep after a decade or so, are reunited with everyone, but also reunite with Fitz after the climax of Assassin’s Quest. It’s nice to follow a character dealing with the aftermath of a very epic quest, and I love in introspection, that Fitz has grown since we last saw him, that he’s dealing with physical and mental aftermath of the experience.  There’s personal things going on that I can find mirrored /dealt with in Fool’s Errand that are comforting, too.

Top Three Favourite Characters: Fitz + Beloved + Nighteyes are givens. Them aside, Dutiful, Elliania, Patience

Top Three Least Favourite Characters: Tellator-Rapskal, Black Rolf, Kyle

Favourite Ship (of the floating kind): Ophelia (that was her name right??)

Top Three Favourite Ships (of the people kind): Elliania/Dutiful, Patience/Lacey, Burrich/Chivalry

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted!

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with?: My dumb cat

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland?: Rain Wilds…dragon exposure exempt.

How were you introduced to the books? I was actually looking at some LGBT+ Fantasy booklist on Goodreads and Assassin’s Apprentice kept popping up, so I did it and couldn’t stop reading for about a year.
