If ANYTHING is a heritage post it’s this.
Unfortunately Pickles did not win the magazine photo contest so we shipped him off to the oil rig 👍
one more thing I want to say about Holga Kilgore’s character in D&D:HAT that I just. really loved. And that’s the fact that in addition to being the badass axe-swinging ass-kicking muscle of the party, undefeated in combat, deadly with a potato, Holga is also – a parent.
I get that there’s some reason to look askance at turning every female-adjacent character into a mom,* but at the same time there’s also a trend in a lot of media in the last… let’s say 30 years or so… that deals with this by having Strong Female Characters effectively sacrifice their womanhood in pursuit of badassness. “I’m not like other girls,” effectively. “I know all this Manly Stuff because I have a bunch of brothers and no mom (unspoken subtext that she Never Learned about Softer Girlie Things.)” And sometimes you’ll get an arc where they Rediscover Their Feminine Side, but always with the unspoken caveat that she’ll have to choose. You can do manly things or womanly things, but not both. You can be a warrior or a mother. You can be kind or kickass. But not both.
Holga is both. She isn’t forced to choose, and she isn’t forced to sacrifice any part of herself. (She has sacrificed, and she has lost, with regards to her heritage and her tribe, but that doesn’t enter into this equation.)
Holga is a person who has – if not everything, certainly at least everything that she values. She’s a warrior and a mature woman in firm sync with her sexuality and a partner in a committed relationship and a parent to a child she loves. She chose to become Edgin’s partner and Kiara’s parent (nobody pushed her into that role) and she chose to become the most badass fighter in the whole darn movie. And she’s allowed to be both, at once, with no contradiction.
*Though I think the movie is still OK on this score because it gives us Doric, who visibly has zero interest in motherhood of any kind, and is not pushed towards such.
love ppl online being like "ur literally 30" like do u think thats not gonna happen to you??

it would be the funniest thing in the world if one day we found out this isn’t actually you Neil…
Neil Gaiman has no social literature.
I quite like that something somehow autocorrected media to literature. I think I’ll keep it.
i finished reading your story and i must say that, while it's alright, there's so many plot holes because the characters made irrational decisions and didn't think logically 100% of the time. consider fixing this next time please
also, the fact your characters weren’t able to overcome their internal struggles is a massive plot hole. everyone knows emotions are very easy to understand and sort, and the fact your characters acted on them was such a massive story contrivance it broke my sense of belief. please fix this.
the characters arent acting as if they have all the same information I have. This perplexes me endlessly and I believe it fundamental flaw of your works.
