"It is no secret. All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together. My name, and yours, and the true name of the sun, or a spring of water, or an unborn child, all are syllables of the great word that is very slowly spoken by the shining of the stars. There is no other power. No other name."
~ Ursula K. Le Guin, from A Wizard of Earthsea

Estraven is basically the Spock of The Left Hand of Darkness in that both characters are meant to be viewed as austere and stoic by the audience but are actually so fucking wild by the standards of their home cultures.
Like yes Estraven is polite and reserved but he also broke every Karhidish taboo. Every single one of them. There’s a reason he’s called Estraven the Traitor. By Karhidish standards, he is the chainsmoking tattooed guy with a loud motorcycle that your mom warns you to stay away from.

There's an Ursula Le Guin short story about two guys who try the same alchemy at the same apartment but centuries apart (if I remember right? I think this is what happens to get them in the same place. Either way its alchemy) and they become best friends and keep meeting like this, sometimes in medieval England sometimes in contemporary England and they become super close best friends who sometimes visit each other's time periods and have fun. They also meet a woman from the future doing the same thing eventually who begins to hang out too. It DID seems like she was setting up that they were gonna be a weird throuple but disappointingly no. I swear it would've been an A+ from me if they were a throuple
Well I don't me or my icon doing alchemy so we'll have to rely on anime-joke levels of bad cooking probably
(but also: of COURSE LeGuin did something like it and of COURSE it rocks, do you remember the name of the story?:D)

My latest newsletter is about books that have changed the way I think about space opera. These are some amazing reads that redefined the genre. Plus my thoughts on Olivia Rodrigo!

Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket A/Tier 1 Round 1
Ursula: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure/Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid (2011/2012-current) - Disney California Adventure and Magic Kingdom Disney World
Propaganda:
"This animatronic really brings Ursula to life! I think it is by far the best animatronic in the ride. I can't get over how her face and head look so accurate to the character's animated counterpart."
"It's really scary so it must be good!"
Lieutenant Bek: Star Wars Rise of the Resistance (2019-current) - Hollywood Studios Disney World and Disneyland
Propaganda:
"he's the coolest freaking guy! There's no way you don't believe you're not IN Star Wars when you board the Rise preshow ship and that guy is sitting there"
