It kills me there's so little standalone fantasy. Everything has to be a trilogy or series. I just don't want to commit to a series or stop halfway and then forget what I read months later.

What I actually don't like is cynical reject of magical as something wondrous. Everyone wants that shit codified and treated as if it was hard science. One anon jokingly said that's because autists out there have a fetish for compiling wikis and he may be onto something. While at the same time everyone is also obsesses with character drama and how they're feeling at any point in time.

lmao

how the FRICK am I supposed to refer to indian philosophers? They have like 80 names per person. I'm pretty sure Adi Shankara isn't even his name, just his title as being "the first Shankara" or something. Most people refer to his divine grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as "Prabhupada" but why did they choose that part of his name to refer to him? Is it all arbitrary? I know he's a meme and kind of a shyster but with someone like Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya what the henk would you call him if you were talking to him?
