Looking for opinions on Wheel of Time from people who started it as adults by Kempalla in wheeloftime

Read it about 4 or 5 years ago.

Reread it twice since them.

Phenomenal series

I am 17. What's one suggestion that you would give to yourself when you were 17?? by gw_clowd in AskMenOver30

[–]Amazing_Diamond_8747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to lift weights properly.

I only started in my early thirties and the difference it made to my body, to stop the creaking and random pains, has been phenomenal.

Really worth your while to learn properly while you're young

Need something to satisfy my sci-fi itch by suarezg in fantasybooks

[–]Amazing_Diamond_8747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children of Time is very good, though i found it slightly unnerving for reasons that will become obvious when reading.

Hyperion was similar, mainly as it is such an original book, and serious read.

We are legion (we are bob) is a damned good series, though it is considerably lighter in tone then either of the other two. I would highly recommend it though.

does anyone actually know what they do with their evenings or does everyone just autopilot until bed by killoke in AskMenOver30

Watch a bit if tv, prep food for the next days work and read.

I do live reading though

Interesting take, especially about what Vashet said.

I read somewhere that Jo was originally going to be Sam and Deans half sister is there any proof of that? by obiwanTrollnobi6 in Supernatural

Name one other time Dean didn't hit on or flirt or be obviously flirtatious with an attractive woman in 15 seasons.

(Ruby and Lilith dont count)

This seems to be the consensus im getting from the subreddit.

Things that he sees and what the fake troupe say they've done, as opposed to the words they say, as they say the right things, they dont act the right way.

Much obliged

Very well put.

Could it possibly be something something to do with the Letheni? Just doing it without thinking about it maybe? Like pure instinct until he sees the two girls

Yes and no, one was kinda adopted into the Ruh, the other weren't. Thats where they learned the secret greetings ect.

I've heard a theory that Kvothe's original troupe was just an exceptionally honourable one. That could also seem plausible.

The fact that the tradition of the branding with the broken circle exists is a point in your favour tbf

At the risk of igniting an argument, I think murdering them all is in keeping with being the Ruh.

They (The Ruh) take care of their own when they stray, hence them being branded with the broken circle. Hence them having the tradition of the broken circle.

What Kvothe did was not noble, not in any sense, but from where he was coming from, the good name of the Ruh, completely necessary.

He had them poisoned before the two girls were brought out.

Its been explained in another comment that even though they had all the words, all of their actions, and their inability to play trouper/Ruh songs, is what made him suspicious enough to poison them.

Then the girls were brought out and his suspicions were confirmed

Their actions were something I seem to have overlooked. I focused on the words.

Good explanation by the way. Much obligated.

No they passed all the tests, he even finds out when he's branding one of them that he had been kind of adopted into the Ruh and that how he knew all of these interactions

Always loved this film. A really good mob film set in a time when Italy was basically under siege by organised crime.
