Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂
Here is the result:
i say this every year, but the sheer symbolism of arthur's death falling on christmas eve, the hero of ages dying on the eve of hope, the death of a man and a hero soliciting the birth of a legend. he went into the lake on a day of perpetual anticipation, caught in a purgatory of hope and rebirth, destined to arrive and the refine christmas day.

this is so mean but sometimes i see published writing and suddenly no longer feel insecure about my own writing ability. like well okay that got published so im guessing i dont have much to worry about
I read 50+ books this year and decided to share a short review for some of them with the dwellers of tumblr. First up: Padawan by Kiersten White.
I knew two things when I chose to read this book:
I love Obi-Wan
I love young Obi-Wan even more
I expected something like Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray - and I did get that and even some more! I loved the way White goes into Obi-Wan deeper thoughts and struggles about his place in the Order, with Qui-Gon or even his relationship with the force.
There isn't much "war" in the stars this time, but the planet and world that White creates are interesting, captivating. The characters are fun, the mystery in the book is also well-written. And I did get to know young Obi-Wan Kenobi some more, adding more layers to his personality.
The most surprising thing for me was definitely the way this book helped my mental health and helped me understand my own struggles a bit better. It also gave me a new perspective on my relationship with myself. If I can see how brilliant this young padawan is going to become and how wonderful and caring he is, why can't I see it in myself? And why can I relate and forgive him for his struggles and yet blame myself for the ones that I face? It gave me much to think about for sure.
Who would I recommend this book to?
Anyone who loves Obi-Wan Kenobi, duh.
People who love smaller stakes in their books with an interesting set of characters with complex personalities and problems.
Those who always want *more* content from before the Phantom Menace and those who enjoyed Master and Apprentice
I rated the book: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is so me
Me: *enjoying any kind of Arthurian content*
Me: ugh this isn’t exactly like BBC Merlin but I guess I’ll take it
Y’know that one scene in A Servant of Two Masters where Merlin tells Leon he’s off to kill the king and Leon just laughs
What if Merlin realises how much power that actually has and just starts telling Leon the truth instead of coming up with excuses
Like
Leon: Hey Merlin, where are you off to?
Merlin: Just going to fight a gryphon!
Leon: ha! Have fun!
Or
Leon: Merlin, why do you have highly illegal poison?
Merlin: it’s only poison mixed with alcohol, otherwise it’s just great sidhe repellent!
Leon, chuckling fondly: Alright, as you were then.
Or
Leon: Merlin! Where were you?
Merlin: nowhere interesting, just practicing sorcery.
And Leon believes he’s just keeping the gag going every time.
Which also makes the poetry scene so much better because Leon is used to Merlin being funny, never giving proper excuses and joking about high treason crimes.
So when Merlin is so flustered that he blurts out poetry, the only possible explanation can be that something Merthur is happening and Leon wants no part in it.
It also got me thinking about post Camlan when Merlin and Arthur get back to Camelot (I’m in denial, shut up) when Leon finds out Merlin has magic.
He waits at the gates for Merlin with his arms folded looking like a disappointed mother, then Merlin stops and realises every one of his “excuses” came back to bite him in the arse.
Until Leon has to explain to Arthur that he’s known Merlin is a sorcerer for a while now, but always thought it was a joke because “it’s Merlin”
Merlin: in my defence, I never lied.
Leon: you confessed to multiple crimes!
Merlin: you let me get away with them!
Arthur: huh?
Leon: Sire, I can explain.
Merlin: can you?
Leon: can you?!
I’m tempted to turn this into a fanfic if anyone would want to read it
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
