onwardmotley:battymarionette: you’ve been an author for how long and you haven’t figured this out yet No but actually my favorite theory is just. In universe Drosselmeyer is a terrible writer. His actual prose is purple and overwrought, he introduces a character to kill them a page later, and he says stuff like THIS. After all, his powers require writing without any restraint, so of course he’s stuck at a beginner’s level, he never learned to edit or write anything that wasn’t self indulgent grimdark tragedies. -- source link
