I’m so fucking tired of fantasy stories about The World Losing It’s Magic because it is old and boring and depressing.
Motherfuckers, tell me some stories about magic returning.Tell me stories about magic emerging for the first time. Tell me stories about magic that has always been there and will always be there being discovered by chance. Tell me about magic being invented. Tell me about magic being awoken by science. Tell me about the problems and wonders of new magic users and creatures popping up all over the place and the kind of conflicts that would make.
There are so many stories that can be told by magic coming rather than magic going.
The world is already mundane. Don’t tell me about a world that’s getting less enchanted. That’s been done so many times when I read any variation on the words Once things were different but magic was fading from the world now I want to throw that shit away completely.
Tell me about worlds where the problem is coming from it becoming MORE magical NOT LESS, I mean goddamn yall. How many times do you need to beat the dead horse before you realize that an alive horse will actually pull your cart faster?
