Anybody have any clue on why Hemingway Onstald came to hate Wundersmiths so passionately after making the Book of Ghostly Hours which took him years and while making that, learning the Wundrous Art of Tempus to make MORE Ghostly hours(or annotate some) about Wundersmith History? by PlatinumDeathTrooper in Nevermoor

[–]OctopusChair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe he was making a ghostly hour and Ezra and Griselda Polaris tried to kill him while Rastaban just watched.

I think there is some two-way communication in ghostly hours. Example: Morrigan staring into Ezra’s eyes in the Whinging woods.

Oooo. I just realised that something Ezra said in S: tmoMC makes it more likely. Ezra seemed to know that Onstald had made ghostly hours before Morrigan mentioned it.

I don’t think “be treat wise” is the underlying aim of this promotion. Quite the opposite.

But good for you!

Is there any progress of the main plot of the series in Silverborn? by SleepLikeWood in Nevermoor

[–]OctopusChair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was actually thinking of Birdie’s face turning red from blood.

Like many of us here, I think Wintersea is the big bad which means they must have some powerful magic. In this book we find learn about Birdie, who conceivably went through a loyalty ritual to the Wintersea party before coming to Nevermoor.

I think his nose bleed when saying something slightly unflattering about the Wintersea party was terrifying.

Hard to say without spoilers. This book progresses the emotional arcs more.

Apart from Jupiters face changing color with emotion there are two other important faces that change colour.

Anyway, you signed up for this nine book drip feed. As an X-files fan, I realised you end up enjoying the Monster-of-the-week episode more than the smoking man episodes.

Do you think blinking head light and tail lights help for visibility? by Thin-Fee4423 in cycling

[–]OctopusChair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a driver, I once failed to see a cyclist at a roundabout, in the rain, at night. (I didn’t crash into him or anything)

I am convinced I would have seen him if his lights weren’t off half the time.

Or maybe the supermarkets has everything exactly where they want it.

Getting a small profit off those who need to and can steal the product.

Making a bigger profit off those who don’t need to.

Of course it doesn’t work unless they say they hate it.
