ā€œan act of translation is an act of betrayalā€ — raises questions about who or what we are betraying. should a translator be loyal to the original words, their spirit, or keep the current context in mind? makes me realise i’m not curious enough about etymology; there’s so much history to learn about GAHHH

has been so hard for me to get into fantasy / world-building books but this is really curing my ailment 😩 also there’s a part where they explain how silver-working works, and says ā€œthe key to transformation … is not in the material substance. it’s the name.ā€ which i thought was pretty applicable to our lives, even outside of a linguistics lens

ā€œif all the world is a commodity, how poor we grow. when all the world is a gift in motion, how wealthy we become.ā€

gone through 3 short stories, ā€œshoko’s smileā€ was still the most impactful as it hits quite close to home, especially the parts about pursuing a field in the arts and dreams.

miss austen you make some interesting points and i love the way you word certain ideas but so far i’m still wondering what is the point of this story 😭😭😭 emma’s a very interesting character though, i like the hypocrisy in how she aims to play cupid and sees the need to ā€œfixā€ and ā€œbetterā€ others

mr silvery thank you for letting jeffrey win the game it’s not the main part of the novel but i would’ve cried if the underdog trope didn’t follow through 🄲 love the banter between jeffrey & charlie & eliza, it’s very amusing and genuinely made me laugh at times
