Jon Wander

@terra_saga Proverbs are a lot of fun! Thank you for sharing these as well.

@thejonwander なるほど、物事には必ず何かいい面があるってことですね！ 教えてくれてありがとう。 日本語だとこれだっていう諺が思いつかないけど……一長一短とか、不幸中の幸い、とかが近いかな。人間万事塞翁が馬という言葉もあります。人生何が良くて何が悪いか予測できないから一喜一憂するな、って感じ。

ファンタジーと言うとライトノベル系を期待されるのではないかと悩み、幻想文学と書くと怪奇か耽美系だと思われてしまうのではないかと頭を抱える。 私が考えすぎなだけなんだろうか🤔

@terra_saga The proverb: Every cloud has a silver lining. The meaning: Most situations are not completely bad and contain at least some good points you should try to focus on and appreciate.

@thejonwander 本当にそうなんです。 ユニークな物語というのはジャンルでくくれないものです。 Jonの言う通り、無限の可能性があるのに、アルゴリズムのせいで狭まっているのが残念です。 古いことわざ、どういう意味なんですか？ 日本語に訳されなかった！

If it's the 'isekai' template then I'm sad to report it's more regrettable aspects are infesting publishing over here as well. Too many stories are made for the algorithm to easily find leading to less unique stories overall. It's extra sad to me because the general idea of 'normal-ish main character goes to a whole new world' has practically infinite potential but we rarely see any of it explored. It's to the point I think AI is going to have some serious consequences on publishing in the near future. In a way, it's freeing for me though, not having to chase popularity means not worrying so much about trends. Old prover in English- "Every cloud has a silver lining".

@thejonwander @Gent_89yume 確かに！ 物語の種類と舞台の種類で違うんだね。言われてみればその通りだわ。 近年、日本で流行っているテンプレートなファンタジーがあり、我々はそれと違うものを書いているので、認識してもらうのが難しいんだよね。

RT @tradaesthetic1: It must be said that Charles le Grand or Charlemagne if you will was more Conan than Conan.

'Fantasy' is an odd genre in that rather than describing the type of story it describes a type of setting- and even that varies wildly. Mystery, romance, adventure, etc. all tell you 'this is the kind of story' you're getting but in a fantasy setting you can have any or all of those types. It's lead to the general impression of fantasy increasingly being defined by the algorithm and trends than anything else.

@Gent_89yume や、分かります。 ラノベじゃないですって書くのもなんだし……。 個人的には軽い読み口と思っているのですが、ラノベ勢の方に「重厚」とか言われたこともあります。 幻想文学はちょっと掴みどころない感じはしますね。 悩ましいですよね〜

Can’t imagine what it felt like seeing this scene in theaters for the first time.

@churchtalkative Please direct this message towards women if you have it in you.

Premarital sex is sin. Yes, even if she’s your girlfriend. Yes, even if you plan on marrying her. Yes, even if you’re engaged.

@LisaBritton Ben Franklin wrote about this when advising on the choice of a mistress. It's not flattering.

This is actually true. Lately, many of my girlfriends (mid to late thirties) have been telling me that they are getting approached by early-twenties men, very confidently I would add. What’s going on?

@DelusionsOfTime Have you considered medication?

If I did this to my girlfriend I'd be single immediately

@DelusionsOfTime You sound very calm.

@thejonwander Well since I'm not an incel douchebag who wants to dictate how she lives. She can do whatever the fuck she wants and I support it. Hope that explains it Jon.

Uuuh ackchuyally... You changed the entire context of the situation to further your agenda. Her death had political significance. Saint Joan was deeply inconvenient for England because of her achievements in war. Accusing her of wearing men's clothing was a pretext, not a reason

@chloespeaks156 @Anarseldain Were you?

@thejonwander @Anarseldain Why fuss about it? Were you involved?

I’m noticing a whole lot of “based” women that just can’t ever shut up or stop demanding that men accept their feminist lifestyles. In this case, they all have trampstamps and take personal offense when you point out that, objectively, they correlate with mental illnesses.

@hyxpk Diva is strong! But maybe not tomorrow...

I walked 43 km (about 27 miles) today. That’s not a typo!! I followed a loop train line in Tokyo. My legs are absolutely killing me right now 😅

@chloespeaks156 @Anarseldain So why bring up hills and dying if it's so unimportant to you? Why talk at all?

@thejonwander @Anarseldain 🥱 This isn't some childish little playground war of attrition. I have the right to my opinion. So does he. He didn't like mine. I didn't like his. Nothing else to it. End of.

@chloespeaks156 @Anarseldain You're the one talking about hills to die on regarding opinions on tattoos. That's just weird.

@Anarseldain You mad? You sound mad. Maybe go throw a tantrum somewhere else.

@ABKoga You ever met a male feminists? The hatred they have for women makes South Africa seems like harmony

@thejonwander @jmgwritten Oh you’re illiterate

Kinda weird to fantasize about getting rid of other people’s books.

@ABKoga @jmgwritten Feminists? Well they do cry a lot but... what's that got to do with this?

@thejonwander @jmgwritten Paid in the tears of misogynists
