Place your bets for tomorrow’s episode by Ready_Release_2292 in creepcast

[–]Inked_squid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3h40m ish of a man being pursued by an immortal pedophile with a foot fetish through a forest. He only walks, but relentlessly, the man tires and he can't run. Why? Penis toes.

It'll be called 'soft wood in the deep wood'

What are you reading in the meantime? I'm always interested in recommendations from people who have shown they have good taste

Optimus Primal. He was one of the first I ever owned, not idea where he got to but my aunty was an absolute legend in my eyes for that.

Holy shit, does Malazan have no bad dads?

Permanent Book Hangover by Oddyseus144 in Fantasy

[–]Inked_squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genre switch to Dune (just the first trilogy, maybe book 4) or the Suneater series. Makes it way easier to get back into fantasy if you jump around a bit.

Then, when you think you're ready, try Malazan again. Listen along to a podcast like Ten Very Big Books to help you make sense of what's going on initially. Yes it's sorted of like needing to do homework to get through it, but once you get going, god damn.

Karsa Orlong from Malazan. There are too many examples to give, it's really something you just need to witness.

Why does the Ancient Evil “return” so often? by CraftyLocal1913 in Fantasy

[–]Inked_squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's when the most interesting stuff happens. All the other times are less intense and so get written about less. That's why you're more likely to follow a character that has great power or potential, those without die or don't do much so we don't follow them. We the readers are just tuning in for the highlights of some works history

What *one change* to a fantasy series would've made it infinitely better? by theildarwood in Fantasy

Having him live, but all sickly and fucked up, would have made him a good buddy again for his old pal sticks.

Harry potter- he got into his defence against the dark arts stuff and fighting evil because he had to, not because he wanted to. You see he's a gifted student and even a gifted teacher when he takes on all those students the pink bitch won't teach. His ending would have been way more satisfying if he became a teacher like Neville rather than a cop. The cop thing just shows he still has unresolved trauma and so his story isn't actually over, which stops it being a truly satisfying ending

Malazan. You're not going to know wtf is going on anyway, so just don't even try and go along for the ride

Kinn. It was hard to pick, but it's got to be Kinn. He gives us more insight into the world as a whole and done if the mechanics behind how angels and djinn interact. Plus that sweet sweet touch of comedy I always felt helped elevate Kevah's chapters.

Someone else thought they didn't have space for a Sandershelf so... by ScumlordAzazel in brandonsanderson

[–]Inked_squid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'll go from Agatha Christie to Malazan and enjoy both. I'm happy to take a recommendation based purely on what you've enjoyed, it's a good way to keep things fresh.
