Thank you for writing and sharing this piece! Have you read, "Anime Through the Looking Glass?" I think you'd enjoy it since it covers how iconic films were social commentary on war and environmentalism. Especially among Ghibli Studio's work!
It was such a delight to read this! I was thrilled to discover something that combined two of my favorite things: Art Nouveau and fairy tales. I'm saving your list of whimsical places. Wonderful article!
Very, very fascinating to read. You've made me see The Lord of the Rings in a new light.
"While the castle’s far from the aesthetics of Art Nouveau, it follows the formula: cutting-edge technology emulating the wild." - I'll remember this the next time I see Art Nouveau buildings or read a fantasy novel.
Thanks for writing this. Can't wait to read more from you.

If you haven’t done so already, check out the Tolkien did himself. They have a distinctive art nouveau look to them.
This is quite literally one of the most interesting things I’ve ever read, your substack alone has made me create an account to read them all
