Tundub, et illustreeritud päeviku-formaadis raamatute vastu on mul kerge nõrkus tekkinud, sest kui need on pakkumisel või saadaval, olen kohe valmis haarama ja lugema. Kuigi vahepeal mõtlen, et miks küll rohkem analoogseid teoseid ei ilmu ja võib-olla veidi vanema peategelasega, siis otseselt nuriseda pole siin midagi – ilmunud on uus…
Kallid lapsed, noored, meie järeltulevad põlved. Teie olete meie tulevik. Te olete meile väga kallid, sest teile me jätame kanda kõik oma võlad. Me oleme ära kulutanud kõik ressursid, oleme maha võtnud kõik metsad ja hävitanud enamus loomasid, linde, kalu ja muid elusolendeid – ikka selleks, et rahuldada enda tarbimisvajadusi või lihtsalt meelelahutuseks.
Teile me jätame tühjad kaevandused,…
does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.
I gotta say, this is one of my favourite mugs. the green might turn out more black than expected, it was a mix of a few things and ...who knows. I can't wait for this to get out of the kiln
The most unrealistic thing about Baldur's Gate 3 is how you have a group of 25+++++ year olds that are perfectly ok sleeping on the floor every night.
I sit on the floor for five minutes and I just about need to call Withers for a resurrection and even if he brought me back, I still have the *Bad Back* debuff.

Peale esimese Lisa Aisato illustreeritud raamatu lugemist ja imetlemist panin kõik Aisato poolt illustreeritud ja eesti keelde tõlgitud teosed endale soovitud raamatute nimekirja. Nüüd, paar kuud hiljem, sain ühe soovituist enda hoole alla – tere, Päikesevalvaja! 🙂
Tutvustus raamatu tagakaanel:
Lilli ei ole enam laps, aga ta pole veel…
I’m really fond of the idea of Zuko being a very competent bureaucrat. Is he an amazing fire bender by literally anyone other than the royal family’s standards? Hell yeah! But he’s also got an incredible head for facts and figures and his calligraphy is On Point and he can read really really fast so he’s just really good at paperwork.
And so one day Zuko gets fed up with Azula taunting him about being Fire Lord as soon as she escapes that he’s just like fine. And he dumps copies of rice tax allocations and legal petitions and a long list of candidates for a new Minister of Health and funding requests from the Minister of Education and the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Culture (all of whom he’s planning on firing but he gives them to her just to see what she does) and he says okay. Be the Fire Lord. Those need to be done by the end of the week. I’ll bring the rest down tomorrow.
And Azula’s beyond competent okay? She could do all of this and more. So she looks through everything, makes a few modifications, some of which Zuko even takes up because his little sister is a genius, but damn if it isn’t boring as hell. Sometimes when Zuko comes by she’s looking over a budget allocation for the Ministry of Agriculture and casually says, oh we had to arrest Minister Yu because he tried to assassinate me. His replacement gave us a new budget. And Azula’s eye twitches as she crumples up the parchment she was holding and thrusts her hand out to receive the new budget allocation form. She sets it on fire and pretends it’s the traitor. Nobody should get to kill her brother except for her.
And by Agni Azula knows what he’s doing because between the two of them there was one that actually enjoyed doing homework and one that would rather be outside practicing forms. But Azula Will Be Fire Lord mark her words. Azula was the politically savvy one. Azula was the one who knew how to maneuver all the pieces into place.
Azula wanted to burn all the paperwork, even if that was as good as admitting defeat.
She lasts until Zuko peers into her cell to comment on the fact that she couldn’t set a meeting with the cabinet on the day of the summer solstice without losing the support of the Sage’s (who were invaluable in maintaining the dynasty) that Azula loses it. She sets the paperwork on fire. Zuko opens the door to her cell and she stomps out.
Zuko is the Fire Lord, and the Lightning Princess stands at his side. Pointedly not doing paperwork.
still very homesick for a lot of little things, like how my brother will just walk into me like i'm a skyrim npc whenever he needs something i'm standing in front of bc he has 50+ pounds on me and knows he can just tip my skinny ass over like a 5'7" telephone pole
