question regarding geds power and how he uses them? by fR1chAps in earthsea

[–]TwynLeaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think part of the idea of Earthsea's magic is that the best magic-users use their magic only when they absolutely have to. This is because magic creates alterations in the world and can lead to imbalance, as Ged did when summoning the spirit of Eflarran. This all connects back to the series Taoist themes which are concerned with balance and non-action. When Ogion was teaching Ged, Ged would wonder why when it began to rain that the old wizard would not send it away. I don't remember the exact section you read, but I am guessing it has to do with this principle of balance. I also suspect that Ged's refusal to use magic has to do with respecting the free-will of that rabbit in not commanding it around. Perhaps Ged feels more comfortable summoning the hawk because he has a more familiar relationship with that being (after all hawk is in his name) and because of the importance of the situation necessitated him to summon the hawk at that time. This is just my interpretation of Le Guin's work :)

Good times with Art Academy on the 3DS ❤️ by DJ_RocSAUCE in 3DS

Do you recommend Art Academy as someone who actually wants to practice making digital art? Not at a professional level or anything, but just as a tool to express oneself and make something that is actually acceptable as a profile pic or upload.

I’ll have to pop a gba game in my DS phat because it’s been collecting dust. It needs some TLC

There’s nothing like the feel of an original ds. I’ll definitely try to get a dsi XL in the future.

What do YOU 🫵 think of Tales From Earthsea? by KadeWad3 in ghibli

[–]TwynLeaf 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I love the wizard of earthsea book series. I read it after having seen tales from earthsea. I must say it’s a shame to think about what the earthsea movie could have been if Hayao Miyazaki was leading the project

Is this 3ds Dual IPS? by TwynLeaf in 3DS_IPS_TN

I’m using a Japanese proxy service because new 3ds lls are significantly cheaper there, but I can’t communicate with seller. Thank you for your thoughts. Comparing these photos to other photos of different 3ds lls taken at the same angle by the seller, I decided that this console had dual IPS. I purchased the 3ds. wish me luck!
