I had saved reading this because it was so much writing, and it seemed important, and then I didn't...I hadn't known she had died. And even though it made me cry, thank you for writing this. I think you got everything right
( ... )
Oh Amy ;-; ugsdiojk on the one hand I apologize for making you cry but on the other hand honesty compels me to say that.....part of me feels like....deep empathy with you for it? And in a way that makes it worth having happened though it didn't happen to me -I mean I cried but I did it to myself rather than having it done unto me so I feel like a prick even saying this but....yes..... thank you...for telling me that you waited and even that you cried, especially that.
You know it wasn't until the full weight that she is gone from our plane that it hit me - that she is my favorite, that I haven't met her equal for myself. I think that notion is beautiful though and all the more exceptional forthat you are a rational person, whereas with me if i said that I know people would just shrug and go oh well that's how you always are. I think it's that kind of thing that's like magic for our world.
;_; books like that? Those are the kindest,most personal gifts. I can't imagine anything more or better. It's like taking a piece of the person

Oh, definitely don't apologize. <3 Crying isn't a terrible thing, at least not for me. It's just releasing something that needs to be released, which sounds far more clinical than I mean, but...I just mean that I'm glad to share these feelings with you, at least.
I was always an enigma for my family and teachers, because as a child I loved magic, but it always had to be just so, and then I was also a huge nerd who loved science. As I got older, I became somewhat less accepting of some kinds of fantasy, but I can always lose myself in good writing regardless. Jones' magic was always amazing, confusing, but so, so familiar

Aslkjfsduoijerkldf thank you ;_; she just ahhhh makes me FEEL so much X_X it's so hard TO put into words but I really maybe most of all appreciate how she reinstated my previous but dwindling belief that there are OTHER worlds, that just because we don't know doesn't mean they're not just beyond our reach. I think I can live much more...fully in a world if I believe that ours is not the only one. I don't know all of those kinds of stories - Narnia, for instance minus the allegory lmfdslk - really hit me hard sob I love them....
But scream as you mentioned Chrestomanci especially how she could infuse SO MUCH humor but there was seriously a great undertone of something adult and honest and real about it. uoewlksd
LMDSUIOEJSDK I never thought of Cat like that I admit ;; he just seemed super damaged to me uoijeklsdoeijklsd and I believe she originally made him basically without Saying it out right in the book, autistic to a degree hence his off-reactions etc.....but Christopher is DEFINITELY vain and arrogant and well meaning and I ADMIT I ADORE HIM TOO LMFAO FML UJOWTEKLSFD
I ugh I LOVE how a children's story that is a GOOD children's story is always going to be able to reach any age, as long as IDK the person doesn't hate reading 8DDDDD which if they do then TOO BAD FOR THEM I guess >>;;;;
But yeah I love how her characters have ASPECTS I want to THROTTLE them for and things I COULD NOT DO WITHOUT I just they are indispensably human. It's the best fantasy, where everything is just as real as if it were non-fiction, if not more so.
