Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It seems hopeful to me, though. I love the night, it soothes my heart & lets me feel the planet turning, gives me the stars & the Moon at her brightest. But it comforts me, too, knowing darkness will pass, that the plain light of day will arrive, & allow us to see through the shadows. ✨️🌙💙💙💙💛☀️static.klipy.comDay & Night: The Cowboy Way Alabama SunriseAlt: Night to Sunrise 010

Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Sloppy world-building is absolutely a problem for suspension of disbelief, not to mention just readability in general. But to me, things like magic are always in the realm of the Possible, either as Things Not Yet Understood, or as More Things In Heaven & Earth Than My Philosophy Has Dreamt Of... 000

Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I first read LOtR when I was about ten; re-read at least three times since. Core memory. The *whole point* of that interaction is that Gandalf *doesn't* use magic to free Theoden from Wormtongue's influence. It's just straight psychological diplomacy.

Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I get what everyone else is saying in the thread (I read further after posting) about early gunpowder— but to me that's just another example of the kind of stupid unnecessary crap in the movies that made me reject them forever after catching the scene with Gandalf, Theoden, & Wormtongue on TV... 130
Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Sure! Shortbreads & scones fall in that category. Few ingredients, simple recipes, easily adaptable. The two main tips for all these are: 1) DO NOT overwork/over-stir dough or batter—it develops the gluten & the final product will be tough, & 2) Do not overbake—if it's supposed to be pale, let it!static.klipy.comTearing Freshly Baked Bread In HalfAlt: Tearing Freshly Baked Scone In Half 030
Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I always say to people who feel this way: Quickbreads, crisps, & cobblers. All easy, flexible, forgiving recipes, simple to make & get excellent results with just a couple of rules to keep in mind. The main rule being, for quickbreads (banana bread, cornbread etc) NEVER OVER-STIR.static.klipy.comDelicious Homemade Banana BreadALT: Delicious Homemade Banana Bread 110

Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026But Gandalf did fireworks! I don't remember Helm's Deep in the book very well & the movies pissed me off so badly I've never watched them. Are the explosions in the book? 240
Leigh Goodwin @leighgoodwin.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I think it's a difference between things that we don't know to be impossible, so maybe? that's fine! and things we factually know to be completely wrong. There's suspension of disbelief when there's still possibility, even if it's remote. But known counterfactuals are a hard No. 120
