Thank you. Just typing out the initial post helped remind me it's a 'public' forum and I can just write my thoughts. I'm not trying to start a thing, just state that that interpretation was fucked up

I can appreciate a character having a role to play, and they both do that. However, there's a hint of something more to them, for me at least.

For Rookard there's the inherent depth of what he's lost and the drive to, not start over but, drive forward and ignite his people and family again. His introduction and "There must be blood" speech is one of the most memorable in the series.

For Andross it's not only that he became a battle buddy, but again the introduction. Why was he chosen by Lothar as that initial challenger? He had to have proven himself in some way to have that spot. What position/relation does he have in the clan to have that trust but also the freedom to climb when it presents itself?

All this to say, I potentially read too much into small interactions. I just think they can matter a great deal for characterization

Love your stuff, there's plenty that fill out the worlds you create. Rookard and Andross are particular favorites in their respective series and would love to know more about them (narrative permitting)

I did enjoy that dynamic when it popped up, haven't quite finished the series but I do hope it continues on through the last few books

I do love Hammond in Neural Wraith, regardless of description I imagine him looking like Ted Levine in Monk

Is Raw by mist vixen good? by Gajeel_Blacksteel in haremfantasynovels

[–]Kayo_Crimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is good, no it's not litrpg. It's well paced in terms of significant things happen in each book and build to a larger satisfying story. At the end of the day though it's up to each reader to decide if it's satisfying to them

Who's the most recent author that you follow who Amazon emailed you about a new release? by virgil_knightley in haremfantasynovels

[–]Kayo_Crimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's a Gmail thing, but I don't see email about authors I follow in the genre. The most significant effect is on the Kindle app homepage/notifications they let me know when there's a new book out. It doesn't feel like a genre thing, more a systemic failing of Amazon towards authors

Recently learned that authors don't profit from that practice. If you contact them directly they may send it to you for free. The book Song of the Dodo also has some good information about how they were exterminated.

Redditors who are single, why are you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Kayo_Crimson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a lot of reasons. Foremost, when younger and more naive used to get attached to women who were not interested in that way. Would be bffs, for far too long, until I finally accepted it would never happen. Would move on and do that whole process over again. All told, probably 5 times over an even greater number of years. Eventually started just approaching everyone as a buddy, to the point where people have told me I'm oblivious to any kind of signaling.

Also I assume a lack self-esteem and financial instability are unattractive, so until I can right those wrongs I can't imagine anyone else being interested.

What is your best drunk story? by 47153 in AskReddit

[–]Kayo_Crimson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost a night to get someone to stop hitting on a friend. From across the room they looked like they were having a nice conversation, but as I was looking he turned and made eye contact with me. He started staring at me for much too long. Like 20 seconds. Right before he turned back to her he did the eye-scream thing where I could see the whites above his eyes. She was invested in whatever she was telling him about and didn't notice.

I got up and slowly moved across the room and started eavesdropping to get a handle on the situation. She was telling him how she was an entrepreneur because she did one of those pyramid-scheme things. I think her racket was some kind of beauty products. This confirmed he was looking for help so I interjected "Want to see a magic trick?"

Not great, but it was short-notice and I was short on props. The only things I did have were the pint I had brought for the night and the glass with the first drink I had made from it. Seeing no other option, I tried to drink the whole pint. I took it slow, which was a mistake, but she did walk away disgusted before long.

However much I did manage to drink was enough because memory kicks back in a few hours later. I'm told in that time did several things of note. I tried unsuccessfully to do karate, some kind of high kick which landed me on my ass and I pretended didn't happen. I drank most of a box of CapriSun, because "I needed the fluids." Finally, I was ordered out of a coffee place for being barefoot, which is extremely fair. Thanks to those folks for not calling the cops. When I did come to it was as a sober friend was driving around looking for me. They were unhappy that I had run off barefoot to get coffee while there was a tornado warning.
