“Through hardship, to the stars”

i do probably only say this because its the thing that *i* like, but hieron is up there with the great fantasy settings to me. i feel like it should be at like at least an Earthsea level of you can expect people to know about it..... what do you mean you dont know about the man who is a dragon squished down into man who is a planet squished down into a dragon. you dont know him?? he plays guitar real good. you really dont know him? he has two sons who are ex-husbands but they somehow managed to play it so it doesn't read as incest basically at all? yeah their son was supposed to save the world (his grandpa) by killing one of his dads but then he used the wrong sword and became his dad instead? and then g dragon killed him a few thousand years later. yeah the guy from BigBang. and then a priest who.... well we dont have time for his deal. but when planet-dragon-grandpa-plays-guitar-good dies this priest turns his body (the world) into an infinite root system using the grandson-who-is-his-dad's blood. you seriously dont know? well did you at least hear about the big bugs??

when the freaking clarinets hit.

I Defeated the Demon Lord but it Turns Out the Demon Army was Largely Unaffected and I Fell Victim to a Flawed Belief in Great Man Theory

I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know

Yes

you can stay indoors all day when the sun is out, and sometimes it's nice like a cool draught from a tranquil spring, but watch out because if you stay indoors for two days in a row while the sun is out you start doing odd gothic literature things, stalking the halls and passages and muttering to yourself and parting the blinds to gaze down at your neighbours with a haunted look before turning away to contemplate your mannequins #yourmannequins. three days and you're basically fucked. you have to throw a towel over your head to scurry as far as the store for milk and people jeer at you like frankenstein's monster.
