“Is the Witcher political?” Sword of Destiny, pg 372: “[My mother had] A choice. A choice which should be respected, for it is the holy and irrefutable right of every woman.”

Sword of Destiny, as a collection, starts off a little more mixed than The Last Wish, but those last three stories more than hit the mark. They truly give shape to the saga that follows, in thematic and emotional resonance. Only just finished A Little Sacrifice and I’m already feeling sappy

Thinking on it, I wonder if CDPR were annoyed that Netflix Jaskier/Dandelion is a better singer/songwriter than their iteration of the character and so made an entire DLC centered around him 11 years later to rectify that

I’ve been buried in my Witcher reread for a few days and CDPR, I love you, you just gotta respect that I’m always gonna love these books a tiny bit more than your games

READ IT. It’s the goodness you didn’t know you needed in your life, easily my top read from last year

What do we call that trope in adaptation where you’re forced to make a change to the source material because you’re dealing with actors whose faces you’ll actually be seeing, and therefore you can’t do a reveal that two characters are the same person?

FYI you can discount anyone who praises Geralt of Rivia as a neutral character cuz it’s a pretty clear litmus test that whoever thinks that really hasn’t bothered to read The Lesser Evil

Alright, Geralt. The reread is upon us.

Perhaps the best line in Memories of Ice

Picture of a dialogue line from Memories of Ice. The line says “He’s immortal, you slut!” No further context is provided

Almost two thirds into Memories of Ice and why don’t more people mention how funny Malazan can be? The discussion around how to properly taste a wine and the difference between “woody” and “flowery” is delightful

Malazan book 3 really cooking now with the Grim Reaper equivalent coming to greet someone in person because of how badass their death was

Charlie Hettrick @charliehettrick.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Memories of Ice really takes you on a trip from epic fantasy to gut-churning horror. Haven’t felt these kinds of things since I first encountered a Broodmother in 2009.

Kruppe is back now in #Malazan book 3, all is right with the world

Deadhouse Gates really missed the mark by not having its third section titled “Coltaine’s Col-train” (I promise it both makes sense and is funny in context)

80 pages left in Malazan book 2 and oh lord it’s all happening all at once so many of the Things

Getting old enough where it takes a couple flicks of the “year” wheel when asked for my birth date. Spare a thought for this old man (I’m 33)

Oh no, the Lost Elf theme has been stuck in my head for days and I’m newly feeling Complicated Emotions about the way Veilguard played out

Wicked and the Warped #spoilers “…if this is my only chance to shape the future, I choose to make a future with you in it” @robertrath.bsky.social you had no right to spring this upon me

A quarter through Wicked and the Warped now and I’m so glad the old gay robot yaoi men are back in my life

Malazan book one in the bag. It really doesn’t pull any world building punches, you either catch up and run along with it or you fall on your face while the story keeps moving. First time I’ve used note tabs in earnest just to keep pace with everything.

Meddling Kids keeps valiantly attempting to shirk its constraints as a novel and idk if it’s working for me or not (I say at the 80% mark)

I google “Chris Nolan” not because it’s more convenient to type but because I like to pretend he’s just my buddy Chris

Sometimes it really can be just one lyric in a song that releases every held-back emotion you’ve had for weeks. Floodgates open, everything pouring out, and all you can do is ride it and savor the catharsis for when it turns to grey again

I need @keezyyoung.bsky.social to know I stayed up three hours past my bedtime to finish Hello Sunshine in a single sitting. Beautiful, intimate, creepy, emotional, queer - a kind of art I sorely needed. Loved it

You know the Bluesky timeline is well-curated when 90% of posts are celebrating the life that was David Lynch. Save a pot of coffee for us in the White Lodge, David.
