Oh, I really agree with this. Deeply connecting to a piece of fiction - creating 9t as an author - is one of the strangest, most affecting experiences we can have, but because it's so subjective and hard to quantify, we end up trying to teach it via "objective" formulas.

Every writer should burn this adjectives matrix in a bonfire and learn it’s not the Latin-ness of your words that makes prose good
Every writer should staple this adjectives matrix to their desk:

When I was in elementary school, there was an overgrown hedge which we were Not Allowed to go into. Logically I knew the hedge backed onto houses. But I couldn't help feeling that if I went THROUGH the hedge, I'd end up somewhere else. I dedicate "Sleeping Green" to that hedge.

Jan rules by the way, he's one of those characters who could never ever hold their own book, or even be the focal character of a smaller team book, but on the Legion he shines as this sad, gay teen Super-Gandalf crossed with Aang

I genuinely am obsessed with this. The expressionist mundanity of the original, Herzog’s more melancholy and entropic imagery, and Eggers doing stark gothic artifice.

"Uncomfortably aryan" has been my review of Superman and Lois since episode 1.
Replying to @NebsGoodTakes
it was really good and then it was really sad and then it kept going and getting goofier and uncomfortably aryan

“people who are terminally ill shouldn’t have to suffer” and “under capitalism and austerity with next to no social supports, crumbling healthcare and constant vitriol about “people who don’t contribute” euthanasia can/will be used as a culling tool” are both true at once

If you genuinely don’t understand how anyone can be against this policy, you’ve not actually listened to disabled people. Listen to our concerns about Canada. Think about how this policy starts a slippery slope in the context where disabled people are judged on productivity.
