I don't know at what point in the querying process I'm supposed to stop and go "wait maybe my book sucks"
Vernon Miles@corbie.bsky.social · 10h agoI appreciate a swift response from an agent I'm querying for my book but I feel like less than 12 hours is *too* quick. You don't want to... like think about it a little bit or something? Or read the query?

The funny thing about being an Xbox kid is realizing all your classics were like generic brand knockoffs. “Hmm, Zelda? Crash Bandicoot? Haven’t heard of them. We do have all the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games though!” “Mario Kart? Oh you mean Ty Kart…”

The comics subreddit brought up characters with consistently high quality and I think the best answer for that is easily Thor. If you skip the 90s, you've got five decades of 10/10 runs from his start with Lee and Kirby, then Simonson, Straczynski, Aaron, Cates and Ewing

I think House of the Dragon season 2 was underrated but now everybody is saying season 3 is an upswing but I feel like I'm going crazy because the season seems way more meandering after like the third episode.
I get hyped literally every time Nightcrawler shows up in this show. The teleporting/swashbuckling schtick is so goddamn cool. Second favorite X-Man www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi5S...

At the Knight of the Laughing Tree story in Storm of Swords and knowing the context about Lyanna and Rhaegar from the show makes this hit like a truck
It’s so funny learning that A Storm of Swords lost the Hugo award to Goblet of Fire. Truly the fantasy equivalent of Shakespeare in Love beating Saving Private Ryan at the Oscars.

I love prophecies in stories that mean nothing to the characters and everything to the reader. In A Storm of Swords a seer lays out huge plot points of the next few books then Arya and company are like

The last four movies I've seen have been Oppenheimer, The Odyssey, Masters of the Universe and La Chinoise, and the best performance from any of them is Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer but the second best...

It's funny that the universal criticism of House of the Dragon s2 was the plotline where an Targaryen prince spends the whole season in Harrenhal working out his psycho-sexual feelings about his mom with a witch. Then in s3 they do the EXACT SAME PLOT with a different prince.
Started this at 11 thinking I’d watch the first thirty minutes before going to bed. Then suddenly credits rolled and I looked and it was 2am.
Vernon Miles@corbie.bsky.social · 2w agoWatching Oppenheimer and it's fucking great obviously but it's also got the same energy as every Aaron Sorkin thing where every character talks to and about the protagonist like they know the other person is the protagonist and everything revolves around them.

With the obvious obligatory exception of moments involving my wife and son: the best times of my life were comic-cons. It's hard to explain the pure bliss of working a comics booth there, being paid to hang out with your friends in a room full of fellow nerds all having the time of their life.
One thing that rules in ASOIAF is the stuff that's original to Martin that just fits naturally with the medieval-ish world, like the Night's Watch as an alternative to execution.

It's always kind of wild that I'm in my mid-30s and the President from the year I was born is a year YOUNGER than the current President
I've watched more Star Wars and Marvel stuff than I care to admit but the franchising of Lord of the Rings still disgusts me on a deep level. The other stuff is all blatantly commercial at its core, but turning the works of Tolkien into slop earns you a high place in creative hell.
