Also related (or maybe the same): Suspense is not generated by the reader not knowing what happens next. It's generated by the reader CARING what happens next.
Related (or maybe the same) is that "I'm going to trick the reader haha" is not a good path to reader investment, but "I am going to delight the reader, haha!" is. They look the same on the surface but they're not. I always advise being generous to readers, not adversarial.

this is exactly what i’m getting at when i see these people have no understanding of civil society. they do not seem to conceptualize other people as having agency whatsoever.

the audacity of Word dropping a little 'copilot' icon into my document without asking to 'help me write' or what ever, while their in-line dictionary puts little red wiggles under 'aubergine'

‘Quinta essentia’ came to stand for anything so perfect that it seemed to surpass the limitations of the earth.

Today we generally use ‘quintessential’ rather freely to describe just about anything that represents the best of its kind.
