The official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otNh9bTjXWg

Probably shows the asthetics off better than this one still.

I do kind of agree. I mean, I probably won't see it, but I do like the art direction. It actually reminds me a little of Stardust (which I liked).

Saw the trailer before the Barbie movie and I had never cringed so hard in my life, that movie is gonna flop SO badly

Well, they were definitely rude and I don't blame you for blocking. I do have to wonder what hobbies they do find 'brainy' because writing is generally seen as something pretty intellectual (unless it's smut, but, honestly, that can take as much thought as writing anything else). Are they solving Millennium Prize Problems in their spare time? Giving Ted Talks? Translating Elder Futhark into Sanskrit?

Yeah, even without the other part they're putting you down. Mean.

Writing is basically thinking with purpose as one is creating prose. It's one of the brainiest activities there is.

I wonder what issues she's projecting onto you...

[(Anonymous)]

It is weird, contradictory, and rude....but do you consider this person a fandom acquaintance or an actual friend? Because if it's the latter, shouldn't you be able to have a conversation about this where you can bring up your feelings about it to them? Is it really necessary to just end a friendship over this?

It's pretty common for long-running series authors to change the continuity a bit in different installments. You may not feel that her new writing is holding up, or enjoy the direction she is going. I can't speak for her overall wellbeing. However, jumping to concern for her health over a change in continuity seems a bit much. With several years between the books, it's unsurprising that many authors will not rigorously stick to the original storyline, since it's their world to play with in the first place.

I've always just assumed that the discrepensies between Battle Magic and Empress were just because it's easy to have a character describe a war in a few sentences, but expansions and adjustments have to be made to make that war into an entire book on its own.

I do agree about Numair though. What was even the point of that book?

[(Anonymous)]

oh man, no one tell OP about the Sherlock Holmes serials...

ngl I agree with you. I know authors, especially over the span of decades, forget things and reimagine things, but as a fan who has reread the books multiple times, it's frustrating nonetheless. This is generally why I don't like prequels to things when they directly involve characters known and loved in the main continuity.

My fav. prequels are all ones set in the far past of things. Where, in the main story, we might know a legend but we don't know the 'real story'. It's easier to ignore any blatant retcons then lmao.

(Though sometimes it's hilarious at the same time when an author forgets what they've said in one book and directly contradicts themselves in the next. I once read a series where all the witches had familiars and we were explicitly told our heroine's best friend had a dog familiar. Surprise, when we get to the next book and she's at the best friend's house, there's no dog mentioned ever. No dog in existence.)

I don't know this author, but I am now reminded of an article written about 20 years ago that speculated Agatha Christie had dementia. It was based on a study of changes in her written vocabulary compared to a writer (Iris Murdoch) known to have had Alzheimer's. When I read the article I was reminded of the experience of reading one of her last books, Posters of Fate, and thinking it definitely read like she had a serious cognitive decline, because it was sadly incoherent.

So I can't speak for this situation but it's sometimes possible to tell there is something going on with an author. OP is bot necessarily imagining things.

I once tried to read AS (It's not a widely known book in my country, I thought it was some sort of scifi story) but I tapped out before any sexytimes

I've lost count the number of times I've said someone in fandom was being toxic, only to be told something along the lines of "lulz you don't know toxic, doctor Who was worse". And that is not a good thing. Just cause you are not as toxic as the most toxic part or the most toxic thing doesn't mean it is okay to be toxic

Not related to Digimon per say but this secret got me wondering: honest question for anyone that might know, can male-bodied characters ever be described as 'futa' or is there a different term? It seems to be exclusively used with female-bodied characters but 'futa' is essentially a kind of fantastical hermaphroditism where a woman miraculously gains a penis for whatever reason, right? So a guy could just as well develop a vagina through the same porn narrative logic?
