I'm thinking of another guy

```Pseudonymous Bosch is the pen name of Raphael Simon, the author of The Secret Series and The Bad Books series of fictional children's books. He has released 9 books.```

But I started a YT channel a couple of years ago, which was to have many characters. Never followed through...

Thus the heteronymus.

name was similar enough to spark 9 year old me's memory

disregard

Presenting arguments as Heteronyms...

Fernando Pessoa wrote books AS characters...

Which was kind of cool.

And he called them Heteronyms.

like it said it was written by the characters on the bylines?

I think so.

*neat*

It's become confusing now, since he is published as Pessoa.

Which, ironically, means Person.

He's worth a read.

The Portuguese national poet/author.

My favourite book series is done in what the readers think may be the main character's journals, written long after the series is finished

BUt Hieronymus Bosch was a painter.

this is foreshadowed by a sequence in which the MC finds his old mentor's journals, and his mentor mentions that the MC should write some of his own someday

cause it's a series about *wizards n shit*

Painted this:

impressive

I recognize this stuff

at least the style

It's worth looking closely at the painting.

bible intensifies am i right

It's from the 15th century.

Want to crusade intensifies

DEUS VULT

We are in the right third of the painting now.

very cool

Whatever you think is new, has been thought through by people for hundreds of years.

Hieronymus Bosch puts the surrealist painters to shame, hundreds of years previous.

Well yeah

oh before I forget to follow up on what I was saying, favourite book series by far is The Dresden Files
