Quote
If it is a human thing to do to put something you want, because it's useful, edible, or beautiful, into a bag, or a basket, or a bit of rolled bark or leaf, or a net woven of your own hair, or what have you, and then take it home with you, home being another, larger kind of pouch or bag, a container for people, and then later on you take it out and eat it or share it or store it up for winter in a solider container or put it in the medicine bundle or the shrine or the museum, the holy place, the area that contains what is sacred, and then next day you probably do much the same again--if to do that is human, if that's what it takes, then I am a human being after all. Fully, freely, gladly, for the first time.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction

...Okay, this is a lovely shout-out. And to be mentioned in the same neighborhood as both Ursula Le Guin and Terry Pratchett and @neil-gaiman is seriously something I have to take a breath to recover from.
...
...Okay, I'm good. :)
(ETA: [laughter] "...both." It's pushing midnight for me, people. Forgive me.) :)

Round 2 Part 4 Poll 4

Propaganda
Ged's a wizard he's bisexual and he loves his boat so much. He's sailed around the world on his beloved little boat and learned everything about sailing even though he could've just used magic because it brought him joy. I just like him a lot. Also he talks to dragons
Jonny is an immortal (die and come back, regenerative immortality) pirate who commandeered the Aurora for himself and the woman who made him immortal. She proceeded to make several other people immortal, who all joined the crew, until they threw her out the airlock (several times. She left of her own free will as a result of this). Jonny declared that, as the original member, he was captain now. Everyone decided to ignore him. He introduces himself as ""your humble captain"" every performance, and every performance Tim (another crew member) and usually the entire audience yells "first mate!" He once said "so she came to the closest thing we have to a captain: myself" only for it to cut to the situation in question to show that he had no control at all. Even the starship doesn't see him as the captain (she's sentient. Also a lesbian! I love her). Captain struggles aside, he's so fun. He once committed every single crime on a planet (except the sex crimes). He had an arrest warrant out with the reason "just arrest the fucker". He has a whole post-patricide harmonica solo. He's fantastic

True goodness is like water. Water's good for everything. It doesn't compete. It goes right to the loathsome places, and so finds the way.
—'Easy By Nature' from Tao Te Ching (道德經) by Lao Tzu (老子), rendition by Ursula K. Le Guin

Her hair fell long and straight like a fall of black water. Ged thought her very ugly.
First finished painting for my Earthsea art project! And my first time painting people in gouache... a little intimidating haha ^^ There’s more sketches and stuff on my patreon (link in pinned post)! Please reblog my art if you like it!

genly ai pov chapters during the ice crossing: estraven is a conundrum. estraven is the most infuriating man I’ve ever met. etrasven is so womanly. I can’t pin him down. what the hell does he mean by that. he’s so soft looking. he did this for me. who is he. he’s looking at me with his womanly stare again. he is pissing me off. he’s so earnest I’m scared. I need my best friend.
estraven pov chapters during the ice crossing: *logistics* “dear journal, here at the top ten things i noticed about mr. ai today” *licks genly’s eyeballs until his lashes unstick then makes them dinner* “he is like a baby and doesn’t take care of himself right I need to do it but he is also so strong so much stronger than me” *gently rubs out frostbite from genly’s face* “dear diary, here are my further contemplations on me mr. ai’s psyche” *logitics* “we cannot touch” *logistics* “genry, please trust me I’d do anything for you to trust me teach me telepathy so I cannot lie to you” *ruminations on the state and the nature of life*
