I'm reading an advance copy of @erinmevans Erin M. Evan's next book, Relics of Ruin, and I love it so far! These are sketches I've done while reading it, with more to come! If you haven't read Empire of Exiles, I really recommend it. It's an original fantasy world with a gripping mystery, great characters, and a really intriguing threat that keeps you guessing.
For those of you who are D&D fans, Erin was the creator of the Brimstone Angels books set in the Forgotten Realms. Those books are also fantastic too, and I'm loving Erin's newer works where she's making really vibrant and diverse peoples and cultures. I want to know more about everyone, especially so I can draw them.
Empire of Exiles came out in 2022, and Relics is out later this year, so if you haven't had a chance to read it, pick it up!

would read a whole dnd book that's just cataloguing different entries of weird relics scavenged from the ruins of Aeor, archives of the Cobalt Soul, little curiosities of Nana Morri's, etc.--

this is a spinning-circles-in-the-office-chair thought but how did salem find out how the relics work. she knows the lamp has a “password” and a limited number of questions, and that using the staff to create something will destroy its previous creation.
we know she’s never used the lamp before, otherwise she’d have known jinn’s name. it’s possible she had the staff at one point and lost it, although i’m skeptical of ozma’s ability to get it back from her if she did—man is a dreadful strategist. she doesn’t seem to know what the relic of choice is: the lamp, the staff, the sword, and “the beacon relic.”
spins chair.
the way her expression changes when ruby says “we’ve seen what you’re capable of. the lamp showed us.” salem doesn’t react to the interruption in any way until she hears the lamp showed us.

from ironwood, we know that ozpin told the inner circle that the lamp can answer three questions per century and that the questions were all used up before ozpin sealed the lamp in the vault. we also know that ozpin used the staff to raise atlas at a point when ironwood was already part of the inner circle, meaning within the last couple decades, which necessitated giving a similar explanation of what the staff can do and its limitations to the whole inner circle; in v7 ironwood knows the staff can only make one thing at a time.
salem is startled, and then coldly irritated, when she hears ruby say the lamp showed us.
she’s not upset because the girls learned the truth; she’s upset because all the information salem has about the relics came to her via member(s) of ozpin’s inner circle, and ruby just revealed that at least one thing ozpin told his acolytes was a lie. as far as salem knew before that moment, the lamp was dormant. useless to her. when ruby says “the lamp showed us,” both the assertion that the lamp is out of questions and that the lamp only has a finite number of questions it can answer are thrown into question.
given what salem does immediately after getting her hands on the lamp a few hours later…
“the lamp showed us” switches salem’s train of thought to “the lamp is still usable?” and then to “if that’s so, i could ask it questions myself” and then to “we still haven’t uncovered the location of the beacon relic” and she’s only half-listening to what ruby says to her while she turns this over in her mind and what comes out of her mouth is “your mother said those words to me,” because summer rose is the one who told her, per ozpin, that the lamp was all out of questions. “she was wrong, too.”

Okay I have a proposed solution for the Israel situation.
I call it the One State Solution.
That State? Florida.
Relocate ALL Israeli citizens to Florida. Kick the non-Jewish Floridians out of Florida, or put them on a Floridian reservation in the Everglades. Florida is now the sovereign Jewish Homeland.
Please explain to me how this is any worse than what Israel is doing right now. Is kicking Floridians out of their home and putting them in an uninhabitable reservation bad??? Are you saying it's bad to steal people's land and relocate them to an uninhabitable surveillance state???

This is a scene from Relics of Ruin, the next book in a fantasy series by Erin M Evans, and the sequel to Empire of Exiles! I got to read a snippet from the book and did my best to capture the mood of Erin’s amazing writing! If you’ve read the Brimstone Angels books, a D&D series about Tiefling twins who get into trouble, then this is the same writer!
Relics of Ruin is scheduled for December of 2023, I am excited!

Guess whose in Man-Made Hell, and guess who made said hell.
(Hint: The answer is a single person.)
"Clear out each ruin layer of its sand and rock before moving on" I said, before I even started this challenge run. "It'll be fine. It's not that they're too bad. Just repetitive."
Well, repetitive they are. And massive. I've been in this layer (Gecko Ruins, Layer 10) for... no clue. I zoned out after about 15 mins and only tuned back in so I could handle a few IRL things.
Oh, how massive are we talking about? Uh... Look below.

suddenly feeling spiteful towards people who dislike object pokemon tonight i'm gonna air my 14 years of grievances against objectmon haters
the main complaint against objectmon most people have is that they're "unoriginal' and just? don't you think its actually More creative to make a creature out of something inanimate than something that's already an animal. like i love staraptor, fifth favorite pokemon, but its just a generic mishmash of birds of prey, and it does bird of prey things. taking a keyring and making it into a mischievous little fae creature that likes collecting keys and happens to look like a keyring is MUCH more interesting as a design concept.
making them into BELIEVABLE creatures is also hard like? how do you make a candle into something people want to pet and hug? turning the knot part of trubbish's rubbish bag into ears is Kinda Genius
objectmons being inspired by yokai that originate from objects left alone for a long period of time and gain sentience is a cool justification of them, but also even if that isnt the reason so many objectmon exist, it doesnt take away from objectmon being cool as concepts i think. ily objectmon mwah mwah
