Finished Lightlark 2! This Isn't A Spoiler, It's Bad

finished lightlark 2! this isn't a spoiler, it's bad

it's pretty much the exact same as the first book but more aimless and scattered. there's a lot of very obvious addressing the critique going on. a series of side quests around a plot which vaguely exists (not really) and an endless amount of grim fanservice. grim flashbacks are half the book and almost entirely a series of fanfiction tropes. it is extremely obviously cribbing off ACOTAR at every turn. it is not a duology and sets up another. the worldbuilding is really really trying to convince you it exists now but is infuriatingly bad. the author thinks you think there's any mystery if isla will date oro (no time or space) or grim (half the book and half a dozen sex or near sex scenes). isla has a magic giant warrior cat now. it's a panther. she names it lynx.

the book says her panther has pointy ears.

I need people to stop blaming the death of movies on “quips”. A quip is just a funny line of dialogue. That’s all. Like I just saw a post talking about quips and the death of movies and brought up Pirates of the Caribbean as an example of a better movie and yes it is but also that movie is FULL OF QUIPS. I just rewatched The Princess Bride. It’s all quips. Every single line. And it’s a masterpiece.

Movies suck when people don’t care about the art they’re making. That includes them not caring about their quips. Which is why a lot of comic relief dialogue ALSO sucks now. But the problem isn’t that funny dialogue exists.

My cishet straight man roommate: “I’m a *philosopher*. I have absurdly high standards for all art. I’m a manic pixie poet photographer who listens to Death Grips religiously. I don’t even watch video essays without critiquing them like Scorsese. Genre fiction isn’t art, only high art is art. Sabrina Carpenter isn’t a real artist, BTW; not like the Beatles.”

Also my roommate: “Haliey Welch is legitimately a postmodern performance artist.”

saw a post about redemption arcs and i realized that a lot of our discussions would be improved if we discussed villains for what they are (pieces of a narrative whole) instead of what they definitely are not (real people on trial)
