happenings keep happening

you notice over time that some people clearly understand the concept of thinking critically about the media they consume and who its created by but dont want to do the critical thinking themselves so they just like. wait for people on the internet to tell them what theyre allowed to like in order to keep their Good Person score high or whatever. which doesnt seem very productive to me i think.

skew tetromino

i like to write about car crashes, death traps, the danger of machinery; and i like to write about a little thrill up your spine; and i like to write about how history is changed by those who tell it, and the truth is forgotten in the years between; but most of all i like to write about tetris.

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

I am the next J.R.R. Tolkein. Perhaps not the Tolkein this world deserves, but the Tolkein this world needs.
