Charles Holmes

part of the world building is seeing what makes these people so powerful.

And there's also different philosophies in magic, which I'm like, oh, this is such a well thought out world.

But besides that, now we have to get into, I've been saving this.

I didn't want to ask you over text.

Who's your favorite character?

Yeah, I would say...

On the human scale.

I think for elves, elves, because they live so long, have a different relationship with time and emotion.

And I think part of the sadness of the series is realizing that Firin, she did not take her original party for granted at all.

But maybe she was not as present because it did not dawn on her how important these people would be to her by the end of the journey.

I am.

I am not.

I will admit, Varian has made me cry.

And I think you hit the nail on the head.

I think a lot of shows about grief are so consumed with the moment that

During death, maybe the pain before and then right after.

And Fearing does a good job where it was a show that when I watched it, I was like, oh, this is a show about grief.

But to your point,

it's illustrating the beauty of the journey.

And I think that is like as a theme, as something as using what we know fantasy storytelling to be and like what we know about elves and how long they live, using that as a way to instruct people and show them like life is beautiful.
