Subject: The Jasad Crown
Eventually, I'll create a review section. For now, I just feel the need to prove I can talk without typing a damn essay (as below). Anyway, HOLY SHIT. The Jasad Heir and The Jasad Crown are my newest 5 star reads. I believe I read them in ~16 hours, and it was far too little. The ending was NOT satisfying, I need a whole other book with all the characters living happily ever after. (Not actually, I love their suffering too much.) I absolutely recommend this duology though. 10/10 for both the fantasy politics and the enemies and lovers. Yes, not enemies to lovers- better!! They don't know if it's love or hate. The best kind if you ask me.

Subject: A blog?
I wasn't sure if I would add a blog section to Paracosm or not. At its core, this site is supposed to be a collection of what makes me up as a person, not my own interpretation of it. Ironically, the question above that Erikson outlined to be the "existential question" of adolescents is exactly why Paracosm exists. I've struggled the last couple of years to not only express myself, but understand what it is I would be expressing. I've been creating my whole life, now to a point that it is instinctual. I needed a creative process that was consious and required intentionality. So... now I can code. Well? No. But I can code! I thought that if I started writing in a blog format, it would feel like a desecration of my goal- to create a representation of my being. As a neurodivergent person, I have a way of thought categorization that is... divergent, for lack of an adequate synonym. For me, nothing in life is singular or independent; each concept is linked into a massive web of experience, knowledge, and thought. Nothing exists without an amount of context that is unnerving for most to hear. I want Paracosm to be a representation of that. I need a way to show that. So, I wasn't sure about the blog. I wanted to mimic my thought process in any site explorer, which I believe includes allowing them to come to their own conclusions and connections from what they are consuming. What got me to make the blog despite this reservation? I talk too much. That's about it. You can probably already tell that though...
PS. You may be thinking, this is a typewriter, and yet the font is handwriting. Fuck off, I like this font; it looks like my actual handwriting.
