Jun. 8th, 2011 08:39 pm Fantasy novel freakout that I don't understand:
OMG HE CAN KILL!
Yes, dude, so can you. Take a breath. Just because somebody can doesn't mean they're automatically gonna. And since y'all have a serious bodycount you also might want to give some thought to the idea that you apparently believe killing is sometimes the right choice.
See also, IT'S UNNATURAL! SO IT'S A MONSTER!
How does this follow? Things that are unnatural include clothes, silverware, and surgical childbirth, not to mention magic, which you people use approximately constantly. Yes, this creature was created using magic. That makes it intrinsically bad because why? We're not even talking "shouldn't be made because it messes up the natural balance of whoseamawatchits" we're talking kill it now that it's here.
When I go through a portal into a fantasy universe and discover that I am Very Important for No Particular Reason, I am starting a school for logicians. And possibly a valium factory.
