Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.
Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

weirdest tabletop experience i ever had
- be me in 2022
- download a bundle of tabletop games at 3 am
- find a giant pdf labeled "act one"
- it's a game played by only exactly three people on different levels of reality.
- you also play alternate universe versions of your characters on different levels in reality
- secrets in the book are written in mirror writing
- the whole book is an in-universe preserved text by someone in a different universe
- i am so into this game.
- best thing i've ever read.
- i tell all my friends about it the next day.
- "sounds cool, what's it called?"
- i can find no evidence of this game.
- i can find no evidence that this game ever existed.
- i'm not even sure what bundle it was in.
- all my friends develop the theory that this game is a dream i had.
- they tease me about The Time Bird Dreamed An Entire TTRPG That Could Only Be Read In A Mirror
- i find the game three years later
- it's about dreams
anyway if you wished Invisible Sun was weirder you may enjoy Disparateum by Rathayibacter

My favorite part about my friends reading Temeraire is them eventually texting me and going "Goddamn it sure is nice to have a fully realized adult as a protagonist who does have angst but it's not like teenager or young adult angst he's just suffering adult problems while also knowing in general who he is and that's so refreshing" and it happens every single time.

this is my new fave shinee story.... they talk a lot about how 2nd gen kpop was a lot of local outdoor festivals in rural areas for the farmers and the elderly but this is the funniest one.
key: back then people didn't have navigation on their phones so you had to buy it and install it in your car separately.
park myungsoo: i like it, very relatable
key: and we kept going deeper and deeper into the mountains in the pouring rain and had no idea where we were going, and suddenly two elk were running across the road
park myungsoo: that's very dangerous
key: and we finally got there and the audience was just 50 monks wearing rain ponchos sitting outside
park myungsoo: so it was a temple? you performed ring ding dong at a temple??
key: it was a temple, and we did, and we couldn't figure it out. what is this event, and why do they need shinee to be there?? why were we there??

Can you please not put this shit in the Harry Potter tag, for fucks sake?

harry potter fans are the intended audience of this post
If you desperately want a book about British slave-owning colonialist wizards trying to preserve the status quo, please read the Bartimaeus Trilogy. It has three narrators: A wizard, a commoner, and one of the wizards’ slaves
The author basically took one look at Harry Potter and went “that is ABSOLUTELY NOT what would happen if British people had magic”
Here’s what he said in an interview:
How did you come up with that “other” London where magicians are actually a group of tyrants who enslave djinn and other creatures, and rule over the non-magician people? Where did this idea come from? This was almost the first idea I had - I was reacting to the whole Harry Potter idea where the magicians are (mostly) good guys with long beards who are pretty cosy and safe. I thought that if there really were magicians, they would quickly take power for themselves, and an elite of politician-magicians would soon develop. I liked the idea of a British Prime Minister who was a magician - I thought it was quite funny and also quite serious, because it explores the problems of how governments and people work together. In some of the countries where the trilogy has been published (such as Italy) there is a lot of interest in the whole political side of the story - even more so than the magic!
I really have to reread those books to see if they are still as awesome as I remember them.

there’s something about that kind of losing, the kind of losing where you are close enough to touch and taste the finality of being sole victors, but never actually holding it. that can drain a fan base in a way that may feel similar to perpetual losing — in a way that might make one crave the familiar eras of hopelessness. at least in the bleak times, there’s an honesty about the reality of everyone’s circumstances. the excitement that opens a season, when there are no wins or losses in anyone’s columns, and the excitement that fades as a record becomes weighed down with l’s, but with that weight comes a new hope: there’s always next year. this moment is lost, but soon there will be another season, another blank slate. possibility awaits. if you can believe in it long enough, destiny rotates, tilts its wild and colorful feathers toward everyone eventually.

I really love how Daniel Sunjata plays Karadec, portraying him as empathetic and kind, but in a quiet, serious way. He believes in what he’s doing, but the job has worn him down.
It makes his dynamic with Morgan really appealing, bc you get the sense she’s the first person to make him smile in a very long time. (And she’s not even really trying! She’s just joking like she always does. There’s just something in Morgan that reaches Karadec in a way no one else can.)
I feel like their partnership is going to grow in this way, and it’ll be super interesting to watch. Especially how they have a dangerous job, and part of Karadec’s role is to protect his consultant, bc she doesn’t have police training. A “It’s my job to protect you” combined with “If I lose you, I’ll lose the light you’ve brought into my world” mindset is one of my fav ship dynamics.
