Request/gift for @pizzaisgo - for helping me out a while ago with finding a specific reference site! It’s Gideon vs. Camilla! I love to think that Gideon is overconfident in her abilities and vastly underestimates the importance of technique. Also I love Harrow and Gideon’s bickering in the first book. Which explains Harrow cheering for Gideon’s loss because that damn cavalier needs a lesson in not randomly challenging people and shutting the fuck up lmao -> Patreon if you’d love to give a tip & support or just wanna see some NSFW ♥

Sometimes I think about how in order to be a writer today you cannot have internet privacy. I was reading an article in which a journalist recalls collaborating with Mary Oliver, who was notoriously private. Oliver refused to communicate with them through fax or email and said (through her publisher) that she would hand them written notes at an event she was doing in New York City. It struck me that Mary Oliver in 2024 would have almost no chance of becoming a successful poet. Writers today have to have a social media presence to have a built in audience so publishers can be assured that they will get sales and to bear the brunt of social media marketing. They have to be available and put themselves on the internet in every way possible.
More and more I read interviews from artists across many mediums talk about how if you cannot market on Tik Tok your chances of success diminish. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be an online influencer and I am surely not saying that the author-influencer is a new phenomenon, but it should not be a pre-requisite for being a successful writer. I love that writers like Mary Oliver, Elena Ferrante, and Donna Tart exist, and it is not talked enough about how they could not begin a career in 2024 and achieve the same amount of success unless they were well connected or extremely lucky. It makes me sad that this is the state of publishing.

[...] Harrow looked back at Gideon, and Gideon's eyes, as they always did, startled her: their deep, chromatic amber, the startling hot gold of freshly-brewed tea. She winked.

the worst part of "you'll understand when you're older" is that you really do understand when you're older
The second worst part is, once you get older, you find yourself saying "you'll understand when you're older" with Full Comprehension of how fucking annoying you're being right now, but also knowing that it's all you can say.
