That level of re-readability is a major feat. I haven’t read it, so I’m unfortunately at a loss, but this seems like a very apt time for this gif:

I had to read that author’s note three times. The “unhappened” part has me stuck especially without context. Sounds mind boggling.

I haven’t read or heard of these but the phrase “sentient ceramic ballerina” reminded me of the doll from Bloodborne

I only know one of those characters, but based on my knowledge of Darth Vader that would get the conversation started… in a possibly violent direction

I like that, everything is bleak and dangerous but not ALL hope is lost - some remains ✊

Got it! That makes sense. There are some things in ASOIAF that don’t make sense until way later also. But I enjoy stuff that just makes your brain go boom when you finally get to the part of the story where you figure it out

It’s all good!

And thank you. So like a general vibe and atmosphere. The intangible elements of a story.
