The Thing About Writing Fantasy Stories Is That Language Is So Based On History That It Can Be Hard To

the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise - what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that

“I would eat his heart in the marketplace” is legit the most savage line I have ever heard, I’d like to personally thank Shakespeare for putting into words that feeling of rage and protectiveness women get when some fuckboy hurts another woman

But honestly the relationship between Kaz and Wylan is so pure? Like, ·Kaz Brekker, actually complimenting someone? ‘You think like a lockpick’ ?? I bet he never compared not even Inej to a lockpick. The honour. ·Kaz making sure Wylan is costantly watched by the dregs, or Jesper, because that merchling wouldn’t last two days in the slums. ·And when this kid comes to him confessing his disability -the reason why his father hates him- this dangerous criminal goes like ‘it’s no big deal?? ? Look Wylan you are so smart, and brave, and great at least at 654 things why would anybody care about that?’. ·Kaz betting that Asshole Van Eck won’t put his son’s life in danger because?? Look at this blond little duckling how could anyone harm him? And said little fierce duckling winning the bet, just looking at Kaz Brekker- Dirtyhands, second most dangerous criminal in Ketterdam- in the eyes and going ‘pay up, Kaz’. And you can bet in that moment Kaz had just appointed himself as honorary father of this baby crow.
