Arthur: Bye Lancelot! Bye Gawain! Bye Kay! Bye Bedivere! Bye Lancelot!
Gwenevere: You said ‘bye Lancelot’ twice.
Arthur: I like Lancelot.
January 19, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Arthur: How did none of you hear what I just said? 
Lancelot: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours. 
Gawain: I got distracted about halfway through. 
Kay: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.

Arthur: If I accidentally sat on a voodoo doll of myself, would I be trapped forever in that position, doomed to starve to death?
Lancelot: How am I supposed to know?
Gawain: You say, as if we don’t use you as a source of knowledge of the occult.
Lancelot: *sighs*
Lancelot: You wouldn't be trapped.

Kay: We need to get through this locked door. Lancelot, give me your credit card. 
Lancelot: Here. 
Kay, pocketing it: Thanks. Gawain, kick down the door.

Annual reminder:

Die Hard is about using impossibly limited resources to defend a tower from foreign invaders.

Die Hard is a Hanukkah movie.

the internal struggle of not wanting to post w&t spoilers but also wanting to post my theories for the next book NOW😔

for the record i am still emotionally processing wind and truth, and probably will be for the next week, bc oh my god. branderson really cooked with that one. it also felt like i was reading theory disguised as high fantasy. this is a compliment

Zeldalike where the final boss has a separate phase with the mechanics of every dorky little minigame you've played up to that point, reskinned as part of an epic battle for the fate of the world. Fishing minigame phase. Digging minigame phase. Cooking minigame phase. Fashion contest minigame phase.

incorrect quote from a book i should be writing:

Arthur, going over Lancelot's resume: Okay, so right here, it states that you’re creative.
Lancelot: Yes
Arthur: Okay... may I know what you create?
Lancelot: Problems.

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — there to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read again until there's nothing left but the best kind of memories

instead of writing my novel i think i’m going to post Incorrect Quotes from the characters. then maybe someone will pester me enough to actually write Real Quotes. my strategy is immaculate

also huge shoutout to my brother @mephisto-paints.bsky.social for buying me a copy of wind and truth and express shipping it so that i can get it sooner than the TEN DAYS that my b&n preorder would arrive, this is what true brotherly love looks like

nothing bruises my ego more than when a game asks me if I'd like to try again on a lower difficulty.
