> [ed.25/9] Chapter 1: The Spark 0 I know this is a common word but... oh boy. the implications of this in context
- bonnington named after mountain climber 3
> nor was it a cutesy, cartoon sort of thing 5 you haven't convinced me of that
- you didn't see the dragons move 5,33 in their own way, these are garage dragons.
> the ark 14 is the mom actually a creationist Christian or not? that is a hilarious thing to say if not while if she is, it raises strange lore implications for this series. biblical dragons?? a weirder narnia??
- scanning everywhere for the interesting squirrel 30 - fire observed in Dragon's den 31
we need to establish squirrels because they're mischievous and have a life of their own 27 you also expect cats to be like that but not necessarily sculptures
now we have gotten into an elaborate theme of how david said you can't interfere with nature but nothing in a human yard is fully natural and everything is subject to human artifice 47 I'm struggling to figure out what this is saying about the dragons
consistently none of them believe the dragons are moving 60
there is a certain irony in how david later submits the story about squirrels and it gets rejected although this book was mostly about squirrels 63

is davids dragon the first one capable of communication 67 it's sort of like the dragons and the other game pieces around them build the superstructural fantasy story
this is literally voodoo in its simplified definition isn't it 83
letting liz's secret out 100
ok, we get a clear payoff to the notion that gawain is evidently a story made up to forget dad 106
if we're taking this painfully literally like most of this book it could be taken as how creating art, like most communication, is only tracing the outward outline of a deeper mental model 111 and david is focusing on the lineart instead of the hidden raytracing step, so he can't art
