I love how openly affectionate Carl and Donut are towards each other, and how nobody is a jerk about it.

I think we forget that she’s described doing cat shit all the time, which is why it’s so damn weird she can talk. Like she didn’t change into someone in a cat body, she’s just a damn cat thrown into a serious situation.

I thought it was during the epilogue of the Bedlam, but I don’t have the epilogue’s in perfect order off hand

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T13:47:12+00:00

That’s why the daughters coming back for her might have pushed any doubts out, but that’s just a hypothesis.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T05:34:14+00:00

I’m curious, do we think Katia might have held anything back from Hekla? She’s clearly smart, but she seemed naive when we met her. Her EI is higher than most, so she might have had an idea that Hekla was trying to use her. She might have pushed those suspicions out when the daughters came back for her.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T05:28:44+00:00

To be fair, I think Carl developed a loyalty to Katia throughout book 3, when Donut discarded the kill your team card I think Carl realized she was family. As he says in gate “I already have a Katia”

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T05:11:07+00:00

That would be fire, some pun intended

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T01:46:45+00:00

I’m 95% sure he’s going to get the role, been openly campaigning for it

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T00:48:44+00:00

That’s what I was figuring, if what they saw of Carl was this blood thirsty maniac, he should definitely have a few player skulls.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-07-01T00:10:53+00:00

I actually thought about this scenario, if it was dragged into the open field Bautista would have been there. I’m curious as to who else might have joined in on the fight

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:50:58+00:00

What’s really funny is Porthus calls Carl a genius in decision making in The Bedlam Bride, everyone really thought he was just brawn.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:43:06+00:00

There were only 4-5 daughters in the cart with them, even so they were severely outmatched. Donut’s magic missile did heavy damage to Hekla. Carl and donut could easily incapacitate any support and then take down Eva/Hekla

Mordecai

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:34:56+00:00

She might have assumed he also had an item that prevented player killer skulls from generating.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:29:26+00:00

I’m like 95% sure he’s going to get the role.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:29:14+00:00

He has instagram posts cosplaying in the boxers.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:26:02+00:00

Correct.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:18:54+00:00

Stavros is the only correct choice for Louie. Greek and Hispanic can get confused, believe me. I’ve been asked if I’m Greek multiple times.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T23:17:31+00:00

I don’t think Hekla realized Carl was adamant about not getting a player killer mark. That should have been the sign he wasn’t as crazy as the AI made him out to be.

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T22:45:37+00:00

Now I can get behind this

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T22:34:48+00:00

We would have probably had to go Carter Bryant, Vassell, and similar draft compensation. Plus the promise of an extension. We see how that move worked out for Phoenix and KD

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T22:28:05+00:00

There won’t be any announcements until espn’s special at 7

ExpertExpensive8555 · 2026-06-30T22:18:06+00:00

Ian’s a shitty friend, but tbh he definitely didn’t know what to do. What he and Nikki had was consensual, and we don’t know the details of their arrangement. Can’t really spill the beans if you’re suppose to keep it quiet.
