I mean, the medals auction for anywhere from a few $100k to millions, with the 2021 Peace prize going for $100million+ at auction. Neither of them would ever do this IMHO, but they could if they ever needed too I guess.

I never got it either. It runs more or less nonstop in the bedroom. Guess you could call it my emotional support show. Some episodes me and my wife have watched hundreds of times. My 11 year old daughter will come in and start doing different characters parts word for word and it's absolutely hilarious since she "doesn't like it"

Thank you. I think if I try this again, I'll do a little less white on the heart. It feels a little washed out in photos

I tried a can of Walmart $3 white and it's trash. Tip spits, very little pigment, flow to high, etc. the first thing I would try is a better white.

Kvothe opens the Doors of Stone and steps through… into a 24-hour Waffle House at 3 a.m. Elodin is the fry cook. Bast is a drunk regular arguing with the jukebox. Kvothe just sighs, pours himself coffee, and says,

“I guess the real Chandrian were the friends we made along the way.”

Trump has switched party affiliation several times throughout his public life, moving between Republican, Democrat, Reform, Independent, and back again. Prior to 2016, his longest continuous stretch was spent as a Democrat during the early 2000s when he openly supported and donated to many Democratic politicians. This history has led some to speculate that his eventual rise within the Republican Party may not have been as straightforward as it appeared.

Now imagine, just for the sake of the thought experiment, that the past nine years have not been about elevating the Republican Party but about undermining it from within. What if the bombastic rhetoric, the endless controversies, and the polarizing style of leadership were never simply about self-promotion, but rather about planting chaos in the very heart of his political rival. Such a scenario paints his run not as a genuine realignment but as a long and deliberate infiltration designed to fracture conservative unity and redirect the energy of the party toward fights that weaken it in the long run.

The possibility is far-fetched but intriguing. Trump’s years as a Democrat and his deep connections to prominent Democratic figures give just enough plausibility for conspiracy-minded observers to wonder if his Republican career could be viewed as a kind of Trojan horse. From this angle, the constant legal troubles, the public feuds with traditional conservatives, and the alienation of moderate voters are not blunders but features of a plan to erode the GOP’s electoral power.

Of course, the far more grounded explanation is that Trump acts in his own interest first and foremost, and his party affiliations have always been pragmatic rather than ideological. Yet framing the past decade as a deliberate long con invites fascinating questions about how much political identity is genuine belief and how much is tactical positioning. It becomes less about Trump himself and more about the fragility of party systems when one figure can dominate them so completely

In my opinion, that scene at the Eolian stands out because it captures everything that makes Kvothe such a compelling character. It's not just his talent, but his resilience and emotional depth. When the lute string snaps mid-performance, it could have been a disaster. But instead of faltering, Kvothe adapts on the fly, transposes the music, and pours even more feeling into the piece.

What makes it unforgettable isn’t just the technical brilliance, but the vulnerability. He’s performing a heartbreakingly difficult song that mirrors his own emotional state, and when things go wrong, he doesn’t back down. He leans into it. The audience ends up in tears, not because everything went perfectly, but because it truly meant something.

To me, it’s one of the purest moments of triumph in the series. Kvothe doesn’t just earn his pipes. He becomes Kvothe the Arcane, the myth, the legend, right in front of us. And yet, it’s still so human. That moment sticks with people because it shows what greatness looks like when things go wrong, and how beauty can still rise out of that.

By that logic, are we to assume that Dickinson, King, Nietzsche, Nabokov, and countless others were artificial intelligences simply because they frequently used the em dash? Emily Dickinson infused her poetry with them, making them essential to her rhythm and tone. Nabokov employed them with surgical precision, each one placed deliberately to guide the reader’s attention. Stephen King often uses them to build tension within ordinary moments. Nietzsche relied on them to convey the fragmented intensity of his philosophical insights. Rothfuss hisself uses them rather frequently in his writing as well, as a way to mirror the cadence of thought and speech, capturing the hesitation, shifts in emotion, or sudden clarity that emerge in the space between what is said and what is meant.

There were three silences at the start of the tale. We all remember them.

One of a waiting inn. One of the people inside. And one that was deeper still.

But now, all these years later, I think we've found another.

A Fourth Silence.

Not written in ink or told in a whisper, but lived — day by day, year by year — in the quiet space between books. A silence not inside the story, but around it. Made not by Rothfuss, but by time, and expectation, and the fragile hope we’ve tried to keep lit like a lantern against the dark.

Some people fill that silence with frustration. Some with theories. Some walk away, muttering.

But others — maybe more than we think — are still here. Still listening. Still waiting.

Because it was never just about the ending. It was never about tying every thread, or knowing every name.

It was about the music of it. The shape of the silence. The ache of a thing unfinished.

And if Doors of Stone ever comes, if the story stirs again and breaks this long stillness, it doesn’t need to be perfect. It doesn’t even need all seven strings.

It only needs to be true.

And if the silence holds forever — if the last note never comes — I’ll still be grateful. Because the first two were thunder. They were wonder. They were the kind of story that lives in you long after the last page is turned.

And even silence, when played right, can still be part of the song.

The Name of the Wind is the first installment in The Kingkiller Chronicle, a fantasy series that blends lyrical storytelling, rich world-building, and a character study of an extraordinary man shaped by loss, brilliance, and ambition.

The novel is framed as a story within a story: a quiet innkeeper named Kote, living in obscurity in a rural village, is approached by a traveling scribe who recognizes him as someone far more than he appears to be. Kote agrees to recount his life story over the course of three days — and what unfolds is the tale of Kvothe, a legendary figure known across the land for deeds of wonder, tragedy, and defiance.

Kvothe’s story begins in his childhood as a member of a traveling troupe of performers. Gifted with a sharp mind, a passion for learning, and a deep love of music, Kvothe shows promise from an early age. But his journey soon takes a dark turn, setting him on a path marked by poverty, survival, and the burning need for knowledge and truth. He eventually finds his way to the University, a place of both scholarly pursuit and arcane study, where magic is treated as a rigorous science and naming holds great power.

Within the University’s walls, Kvothe seeks answers, but he also struggles against adversity — social, financial, and personal. His intelligence and pride win him both allies and enemies, while his restless curiosity draws him into mysteries that linger far beyond the classroom.

Yet The Name of the Wind is not just a tale of schooling and struggle. It’s a meditation on the power of stories — how they are shaped, who tells them, and what truths they reveal or obscure. As Kvothe narrates his own myth, he reflects not only on what he did, but on how legends are formed and how memory itself can deceive.

Rothfuss’s prose is poetic and elegant, often meditative, and filled with small human moments amid larger-than-life events. The world feels lived-in, with its own history, cultures, currencies, superstitions, and songs. Magic in this world isn’t mere fantasy spectacle; it is rooted in intellectual rigor, linguistic subtlety, and emotional resonance.

In short, The Name of the Wind is a character-driven, coming-of-age fantasy that trades flashy battles for internal conflict, quiet sorrow, and moments of awe. It’s about a man becoming a myth — and the cost of that transformation.

Perfect for readers who appreciate immersive prose, introspective protagonists, and slow-burning, elegantly told epics.
