Reposted by Blue roseAriadne @ariadne45.bsky.social · 13/10/2026The book would not be recognizable as a BG3 tie-in if you changed the names. I found it extremely difficult to read because of the sheer number and scale of inconsistencies.

Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 14/10/2026You truly are sub-illiterate. It’s amazing. congratulations. 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Honestly! I feel too many pepole are forgetting this. She has a way of talking about survivors too (“least damaged”) 010

Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Estamos discutiendo una precuela oficial de un personaje ya establecido, y una porción enorme de las críticas específicas son precisamente de continuidad, caracterización y causalidad entre la novela y BG3, David. What the fuck is wrong with you? 021
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Ya iba a quejarme de que una vez más no están atacando los argumentos con verdaderos contra argumentos y luego llego a ¿COMo que no has terminado el puto juego pendejo? No tienes en donde pararte aquí que puta mierda es esto hasta me quedé sin palabras en inglés de estúpido que es este tweet 021

Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I need people to pay more attention to that www.reddit.com/r/neilgaiman...reddit.comFrom the neilgaimanuncovered community on Reddit: T. Kingfisher has 'apologized' to Neil Gaiman's victims, more than two years after doubting their existenceExplore this post and more from the neilgaimanuncovered community 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh no someone doesn't like what I like! Get real problems lady. 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’ve been part of it since EA days, 2020. How is this relevant? Leave. 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I’m a CSA survivor, an Astarion fan and I’m glad you’re leaving. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The controversy wasn’t about that. Are you stupid? The “dark” content wasn’t the issue. Truly pathetic you can’t even address the actual argument. 011
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Moral crusade? More like “wow this is shit from a butt”. Which is not a crime, but doesn’t make it less shit. You guys are illiterate. 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026He mentions a couple of things like the other poster said, but they’re not set in stone since those subraces don’t exist anymore in base handbook, but may in the FR specific books. 110
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That’s pure headcanon since subraces were removed in later editions to optimize character creation. He could be. He couldn’t. 110
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, you mean if you wanna get pedantic. Come on, Wikipedia it. You really thought you ate with a book that is standard for any Spanish curriculum. Typical American. 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026“Somehow”, pendeja, it is incorrect. It is, in the grand scheme of things, not important, but look at the hubris “me? Getting a scientific concept wrong!?” 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If I can transplant the line into another Kingfisher-ish quirky narrator and it works almost unchanged, that’s a warning sign. 030
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The problem isn’t that the line is “too modern” or that Astarion is incapable of making a joke about paladins. It’s that the sentence feels constructed from the author’s voice first, and Astarion second. 130
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Basically, metaphors are additive rather than discriminative. 020
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026By the time the sentence escalates to “like a mouth on his cock,” the imagery has stopped clarifying sensation and started performing intensity. 120
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The prose keeps stacking sensual comparisons instead of choosing one precise sensory image. “Silk” at least communicates smoothness, but “velvet” is much stranger for something being swallowed, because velvet is a dry, fibrous, surface texture. 110
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026More “prose crimes” (it is what my boy Kaiser would have wanted): 120

Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Love how she doesn’t address the second part of my comment: (Hint you illiterate nitwit, it’s not about you getting it wrong, it’s about your incompetence as a writer) 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026T. Kingfisher and her fans also attacked a black woman over her inocuos comment regarding “cozy horror” www.tiktok.com/@its_jay_mon...tiktok.comI can't tweet in peace without a published author holding a grudge against me for it. #greenscreen #booktok #tkingfisher TikTok video by Jay Moné 020
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I don’t think the author of this book does much thinking at all 010
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Same woman btw. t. kingfisher catching the kind of heat for her dogshit astarion book that she should have gotten for implying neil gaimans victims didn't exist. fuck her forever. 060
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Never forget KingFisher support of Gaiman. Outside of this Astarion book ”discourse” I think we should focus on this. 042
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Competence requires verification. When a novel pauses to showcase a character’s technical knowledge, factual accuracy becomes part of characterization. 020
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I can be pedantic and pretentious to: Adipocere forms when body fats undergo hydrolysis in moist, oxygen-poor conditions, producing a waxy material rich in fatty acids. It doesn’t mean “cold water”, “desiccates” tissues and “prevents decomposition” are also incorrect. 140
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You are a professional writer, the humanities is not even my field (lol) you should know better! 020
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is a very basic writing exercise: “Does this prose actually belong to this mind?” “Does this register belong to this moment?” “When do you use it, how much, with what function and what does it mean that it appears here?“ 120
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Look me in the face and tell me this is good prose. I dare you, Kingfisher. 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This basic writing! Not only “would the character say this?” But “how would this character say this?”. it’s not about Astarion being vulgar, he can definitely be, is about his register. 161
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Calling the book gothic is an insult to the genre. You would know if you had read the book, pendeja 000
Blue rose @mmbluerose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If Kingfisher wants to shit on Poe, NWN2, Mushrooms and who knows what else she should start by learning to write. 000
