“im russian s&b misuses my culture and disrespects it” so like 1. each country is loosely based on different cultures not a direct replica of them, 2. it wasn’t just russian culture she was using 😭, 3. there are issues with how ravka the shu han & suli people r portrayed but that’s only in the grisha trilogy i think leigh realized that & fixed it later ?

4. womp womp

it could be worse and other fantasy novels use english celtic or scandinavian cultures as inspirations without being good representations of those specific cultures ?

at least they’re not portraying you like fjerda??

also this is technically set in the 1800s so no it’s not gonna be 100% accurate…

also leigh is jewish american and according to wikipedia moroccan so its not like she has direct experience she was just writing a book 😭 sometimes it isn’t that deep </3

“disrespects it” where and how 😭

most of that is stuff i noticed in the tv series not in the actual books
