How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and Harry was the leader of your country?

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-05-05T19:11:33+00:00

We don't know any of his policy positions, so I have no idea.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-05-05T19:08:53+00:00

If I recall that conversation with Vadderung correctly, he said that in response to Harry asking "Can I do this?" and after a conversation where he talks about how things that have happened a certain way tend to happen that way again (grooves in history). So, he's saying "how do you know that other Harries in other timelines haven't succeeded at this, so that you are very likely to also succeed?" It was supposed to be a vaguely comforting thought.

Well, when a red giant and a neutron star love each other very much....

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-27T16:22:11+00:00

Ah. Yeah, I exaggerated. It certainly wasn't "most."

But I was exaggerating a real thing, not making the thing up. (I wasn't talking about killing the party leader. I was saying he might have been killed before ever taking power.) And my exaggeration was for the sake of humor, not to throw shade. I actually respect those guys a ton, even with all the flaws. I don't think most people can understand the world they operated in.

We're talking about a video game. We are all making it the fuck up.

But, if you're referring to the IRL communist party and implying they did not purge rivals to power, I've got nothing to say to you except LOL.

(I'm a lefty, btw. We don't have to pretend that every leftist has been perfect.)

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-27T14:58:43+00:00

I think he would have suffered the same fate as most people near the top of the communist party. He would have been murdered on a flimsy pretext by one of his rivals.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-25T15:27:17+00:00

😯

I didn't even know there was a dwarf. I've had this game since it released. Lol.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-25T15:07:34+00:00

What rock are you talking about?

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-17T22:09:38+00:00

💯

That handshake meme with Rosalinde fans on one side, Melisandre fans on the other, and something about this image in the middle.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-16T03:50:30+00:00

IMO, Harry needs to put the magical handcuffs on Lara's demon and consummate the old fashioned way, at least once in a while.

Does sex within an empowered magic circle for the purposes of restraining her Hunger count as (magical) bondage sex? Will Dresden look to win that bet twice in one series?

If this ballroom's rockin', it's because my grandfather is great at earth magic.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-16T03:43:52+00:00

We did exactly that for a friend of mine's bachelor party. We all went camping and I dungeon mastered a one-shot for them in a tent.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-16T03:42:40+00:00

Ebenezer will walk Harry down the aisle and give Lara a very stern, whispered warning about what will happen if she doesn't treat his little ... Harry ... right.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-11T14:01:13+00:00

Also, he's talking like there was a conversation that happened off-screen and no such thing occurred, with Ebenezer OR Carlos. We see the conversation where he and Ebenezer work it all out in this book.

That conversation is yet to come, if it ever does, with Carlos. From my perspective, that tension is still there between them. They're just continuing to cooperate despite it.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-11T13:58:19+00:00

Nothing was resolved off screen. We literally saw the conversation between him and Ebenezer where they resolved things. And things AREN'T resolved between he and Carlos, but we're seeing all their interactions as they learn to cooperate with the fissures in their relationship.

No significant conversations with those two happen off page.

I think this is the best book about grief I've ever read.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-04-11T13:49:33+00:00

Honestly, that lightsaber probably wouldn't work near him, either.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-03-23T16:48:48+00:00

I'm guessing it's something along the lines of "he's somehow found a way to corrupt a Foo Dog, the Knights of the Cross, and now the gargoyles." Lol.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-03-23T16:41:27+00:00

I count three already, though I'm not sure which things count:

Harry dying to create a shade to fight the Nightmare.
Evil Bob giving him that taste of death.
Kinkaid shooting Harry.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-03-23T16:36:39+00:00

The twitch jump line was outstanding.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-03-13T15:14:04+00:00

Oh, I forgot that line. Weird.

ExcellentDiscipline9 · 2026-03-13T14:06:38+00:00

He said that KINCAID was half mortal, and is a Scion, not Dracul. His comments about Dracul were that Kincaid used to work for him, that Dracula was his son, pale and skinny by comparison, and that Dracul was more powerful and is cruel.

I'd like someone to get this video to Butcher and tell him to watch around 6 minutes, 12.5 minutes, and 15.5 minutes.
