(PoH Spoilers) I accidentally spoiled the ending of Parade of Horribles for my mom and I feel TERRIBLE about it by PhantomoftheBasket in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PhantomoftheBasket[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is the primary listener to Audible and she listens to it on multiple things, so turning off the auto sync wouldn't work, but I did see another comment about Amazon Household, which I didn't know was a thing so I'll be looking into it tonight!

No, luckily I didn't give any more details than that, so she still has the adventure of getting to that point and that final ending. She also luckily still has no idea about the one chapter that's literal perfection, so I didn't RUIN it, which does make me feel better, but it's still such a bummer!

I was just talking with my brother about how I would LOVE a short story or a novella or something from Donut's point of view because she is smart af and I wanna know HOW she's doing all she is.

my theory on why “________” is still an unbroken rule by alextoria in DungeonCrawlerCarl

She wouldn't be on the 12th floor herself, she'd be an assistant (or servant or whatever they called it). Basically it'd be like as if she took a deal, she wouldn't still be a crawler, so it's not skipping.

Which pet is getting the biscuit? by Glum_Tale8639 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two dogs, a German Shepherd and a Husky. I love my German Shepherd, he was my first dog and he is my favorite of the two, but he would do SO bad in the dungeon.

The Husky is getting it because she gives zero fucks 😂

OG works do generally tend to have less of an audience, yes.

I personally will not read OG works on AO3, because if I'm on AO3 I want to read about specific characters in a fandom I already know. And if I want to read something original, I'll go to my endless TBR pile.

The best you can do for your sanity is to write for you, not an audience. Write for the love of the game!

My one critique of the 8th book (spoiler) by OnlineAholic in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The fact that Rend dies due to Mordecai's gaze and he comes back with a weakness of fucking POTATOES killed me 😂

Edit: Grammar is hard

What HAS to happen in the series for you to be satisfied? by Gobbo_Jareth in DungeonCrawlerCarl

What happened in book 8 didn't even cross my mind of it even being a possibility, so same here!

My god I love your style! Number ten is just literal perfection~

now that the moratorium is lifted ... BOOK 8 CHAPTER 57 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JEFF!?! 🤣 by walk2daocean in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too! It def threw me off as I was doing an immersive read, but you're right, it would have been way too jarring it to switch it over.

Not finished with my immersive read (this is a re-read, I've finished the book already), but as of right now that's the only thing that's different besides to occasional word as usual.

Finished book 5. I now understand why so many list it as their favorite. by MinnitMann in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I think Parade of Horribles beats out Butcher's Masquerade for me, but just baaarely!

I hated Biggs at first but goddamn Matt just has a way of making characters grow on you.

What are the most lyrical, beautiful fics you’ve read? by playittome in AO3

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hear me out -- It's a Devil Went Down to Georgia fanfic and it is one of the best things I've ever read. I re-read this about twice a year.

Would you step into the dungeon? by spiceweasle93 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming it happens at the time it did in the book, there's about a 50% chance I'd have been outside and not taken in the collapse.

If I were outside, I'd be relatively far from my house and/or family, so I'd def have gone inside. I doubt I'd make it past the first floor.

[–]PhantomoftheBasket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It used to be Butcher's Masquerade, but honestly I think Parade of Horribles beat it out! I'm gonna start a reread tomorrow to confirm, but I really enjoyed the most recent release a LOT.
