As with AI art, these bros fail to understand that creative writing isn’t a slop bucket that needs refilling by any means possible. The reason creative writing is beloved is because it gives us insight into the thoughts and imaginations of fellow humans, not homogenized and plagiarized slurry

[PART 3] All of that mormon-culture-related stuff aside though, this book is excellent! Super fun magic system of course (it is Brandon Sanderson ;D) and excellent worldbuilding showcased through fantastic storytelling. (Do read trigger warnings before giving this a try however.) 4.25/5⭐️

[PART 2] It's not something that a nevermo would pick up on but as an exmo it really stands out to me. Occasionally it pulls me out of the story but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It gives me time to analyze the literature, & it's a good illustration of how religion/culture affects worldview.

[PART 1] As an exmo, this was very interesting. Excellent writing of course (I mean it's Brandon Sanderson) but also...interesting. Don't get me wrong, there's no mormonism in book 1, but there are moments when I can see exactly how mormonism has influenced his view of morality and philosophy etc.

This is Oakley, Kaos, and Charlie. They are proof that if you like something, you should get it in a couple colors. 13/10 for all

three shepherds are laying next to one another in some grass with golden sunlight filtering through trees in the background. from left to right, they are white, brown, and black. they also have matching pink tongues, all hanging out of their mouths.

"Heartless" by Marissa Meyer is as quirky & unexpected as you'd expect from an Alice in Wonderland story, & I adore it! The book begins with our lovely Cath happily baking in a sunny kitchen, but by the very end you'll be saying along with her: "Off with his head!" Fantabulous novel, I love it! 5/5⭐

Dogs: our bestest most loyalest most lovingest friends 🥰 Cats: assholes we entice into joining our households where we shower them in praise and affection and yummy treats because we genuinely adore their assholery :') <3 ...How am I somehow both a cat and a dog person, given this disparity? 😂

This is Ralph. His body composition is approximately 40% ear. But that does not mean he wants to listen to your podcast. 12/10 (IG: ralph_kd0821)

a black and tan dachshund puppy stands in front of a blanket pile and looks at the camera. his long ears hang down lower than his chin, and they’re fanned backwards slightly so you can see their tan interiors and little black tips. his right ear covers up most of his long sausage body so you can just make out his black rump and little tan back paw. his tan eyebrow dots are raised slightly and he’s looking at you with a stoic, closed-mouth defiant expression.
