CW: What I enjoyed about the "The Dying Earth" by Jack Vance and the "Songs of the Dying Earth" tribute anthology, Part 2 of 2
The magic rules for the #DnD #TTRPG, including titles of specific spells & the syntax for naming magic items.
The "biggest jerk wins" mentality found in works such as #GameOfThrones.
The formal cadence & somewhat stilted style of speech used in countless TV shows to indicate that a speaker is alien, or not from the here and now.

Despite my wanting to punch most of the stories' protagonists, & the reinforcement of my conviction that some elements of beloved #SFF classics are best left in the past, it was worth diving into these stories just to see the origins of so much modern geekery:

@nonmateria Not sure if you are familiar with #JackVance's #speculativefiction, especially his #TheDyingEarth series. It is inspired by #ClarkAshtonSmith's stories of #Zothique & #Hyperboria. Smith was a much more open than either #HPLovecraft or #RobertEHoward. His artist fascination with other cultures & languages made him a #Xenophile in comparison to their #Xenophobia. He blended the #Lovecraft's #cosmichorror with a mix of #LordDunsany's ironic tone & the sensibility of #CharlesBaudelaire.
