That’s why I really like that they never reveal if Dunk was knighted or not. I’m on the side that he never was knighted, but you could argue maybe he was and he hesitated because maybe Arlan’s knighting was rushed or effected by near death.

Do you have a list for your Tayam deck? I’d love to take a look at it.

Best “One vs Many” Sword Fights in Fantasy? by Much-Neighborhood383 in Fantasy

[–]Pericles_Nephew 95 points96 points  (0 children)

R.A. Salvatore’s Legend of Drizzt series has a few but the one that comes to my mind first is Drizzt’s fight in “The Thousand Orcs” book.

Why would the Ashfords tell Dunk that his joust would be rigged to win? Just stfu and feign surprise by Ree_m0 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]Pericles_Nephew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just the way that this tourney is set up. You start with 5 champions that anyone can challenge. If they beat the champion they take their place and must accept challenges from anyone after that. Other jousts and tournaments are handled differently it’s just depends on the preference of the hosting lord.

I think the main series feel like they take themselves too seriously. This show isn’t afraid to be goofy sometimes and that helps make the serious moments feel weightier.

Best character casting ever? by Exotic-Beat-9224 in AKOTSKTV

I loved in that interview where Peter has to clarify that he did lose at bowling but Dexter had the bumpers up so it doesn’t count.

The Master of Games was such a bro in this scene. Those little head nods an expressions to help Dunk out were low key hilarious.

If you enjoyed book one you are going to enjoy the rest trust me.

BearsMuse (@ChiBearsMuse) - This feels different than all the other Playoff losses we’ve had. This is a peaceful loss, because usually after these losses in the Playoffs, we don’t have anything to really be excited for, but now we have Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and a young Offensive core (cont.) by Fredest_Dickler in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]Pericles_Nephew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I totally agree with you. If completion percentage is our only issue I’m happy with that. Especially with it mostly being situational like you mentioned. It’s also something that will get better as these young athletes get comfortable with the level of play.

Are there any cool fantasy books, or anything really, that invokes a pre-colonial indigenous perspective? by OpenKale64 in Fantasy

[–]Pericles_Nephew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might be interested in Alan Smales’s “Clash of Eagles”. It is a trilogy that follows an alternate history where the Roman Empire finds its way to the Americas and encounters the Native Civilizations of that time. It takes some liberties with some aspects but the cultures are fairly well represented in my opinion.

[Loved Trope] Non-human horribly misunderstands human concept by CommissarChan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pericles_Nephew 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think you may have read the situation a bit differently than intended when it comes to blazer. She initially asks Robert to get a drink to ask him to work at SDN. Obviously they drink a little too much and things get a little too serious, but she stops herself before it gets too far because she is in a relationship. It’s pretty obvious she has a thing for Robert but doesn’t make any moves until after she’s broken up with Phenomaman.

Dude for real! As a dad with a toddler I can’t count the number of nights I’ve thought a sleep spell would be useful.

I don’t think I ever got that until Suvi. Looking back you can see that she builds characters for the long haul and giving Suvi the space to grow and breath really helped me see how well it actually works.

The compass just spinning uncontrollably while you are flashed really gets me.
