kavita — Today
like in the afterword le guin explicitly talks about that being one of the more deliberate departures from traditional fantasy, stepping away from a martial hero

right
i think my issue with ged isn't actually with ged at all
it's that like
i'm gonna be crass here to underline my point. everywhere he goes once he's a wizard people are jerking him the fuck off
i swear to god it's so annoying
kavita — Today
i'm laughing
no i get it
cass and rose — Today
literally one time people aren't falling over ass backwards to praise him and it's because they literally don't speak the same language
honestly this is just wizards in general
like gandalf shows up somewhere and everyone's like wow gandalf we love you congrats on the big naturals and all he does is say some self-absorbed cryptic bullshit
and like 60% of wizards are like this. congrats you were lucky enough to have the resources necessary to study your ass off and get magic fucking powers it's like getting down on your hands and knees when a yale student walks into the fucking mcdonald's
the worst part is how the book is like "oh look how gracious ged is about it" bitch that's his JOB

#earthsea#ursula k le guin#nsfw text#i guess#it's like i say jerking off and big naturals but like unless your boss is squinting when you're at work like#you're fine. i'd be more worried about the fact it looks like discord#like jeez sorry boss i wasn't actually on discord it was just a formatted cohost post#and he goes like#no#employee#i understand that it was cohost. however. it said "jerking off" so i have to fire you#like i feel like the utility of tagging it as adult content is non existent#which is why i'm not doing it#these tags are so long and dumb sorry
