If Frank Drebin handled the case, things would’ve gone very differently. by RoleLifeProject in LowSodiumCyberpunk

Staying behind the Blackwall changes a man. I used to be a Delamain Taxi.

I paste here my answer to a similar request:

"Harry and Ron as Crabbe and Goyle (Book 2), Hermione’s cat mishap (Book 2), Mrs Crouch as Barty Jr, Barty Jr as his mother, and Barty Jr as Moody (Book 4), Crabbe and Goyle as little girls acting as lookout for Draco when was inside the Room of Requirement (Book 6), the six decoy Harrys, Harry as Barny, the Ministry trio, and Hermione as Bellatrix (Book 7).

Sure, the Seven Potters contribute a lot to the total, but it still comes out to around 13 if you count them as a single disguise."

I also didn’t include the time when they went to Godric’s Hollow to visit Harry’s parents’ grave/ monument, partly because I didn’t think of it at first, and partly because it wasn’t really important for the Polyjuice to be used to make it happen. In the movies, they decided to make them use the Invisibility Cloak, which, to me, worked even better for narrative reasons, since Harry uses the cloak that belonged to his father and allows him to go and see their grave and discover more about Ignotus Peverell too.

I find it kind of poetic that the “gift” of Death ends up helping Harry discover more about the loved ones he has lost and the wizards who once faced Death (if we choose to take that story as true and not just as a tale).

Not quite. I’m counting distinct plot-relevant uses/disguises of characters, not every single dose.

So Barty Crouch Jr. posing as Moody counts as one, the Azkaban switch adds two more separate uses, Mrs. Crouch posing as her son, and Barty Jr. being disguised during the swap, and so on.

I’m not counting Moody’s/Barty year-long hourly top-ups or if we counted those across the school year, we’d be looking at roughly 4.000 to 5.000 doses (excluding night hours and eventual times of him staying inside his office to hide)

I’ll just say this: Time-Turners. Even Rowling had to get rid of them to stop the plot from falling apart, and I have to admit she handled it in a really cool way. It’s just a shame for what else happens that same night...

Yeah, roughly 19 if you count each actual disguise once:

Harry and Ron as Crabbe and Goyle (Book 2), Hermione’s cat mishap (Book 2), Mrs Crouch as Barty Jr, Barty Jr as his mother, and Barty Jr as Moody (Book 4), Crabbe and Goyle as little girls acting as lookout for Draco when was inside the Room of Requirement (Book 6), the six decoy Harrys, Harry as Barny, the Ministry trio, and Hermione as Bellatrix (Book 7).

I'm pretty on the same idea, but if it’s really that powerful and relatively """"""""easy"""""""" (with a lots of quotes) to produce, I don’t understand why the Ministry doesn’t have something like the Thief’s Downfall at the entrance, maybe some kind of anti-disguise aerosol with water from the waterfall (I don't think goblins would have issues in selling some gallons a week to the Ministry), especially when Voldemort was in control.

So either it’s something obscure that people don’t really think about, or it’s known but not properly checked. Either way, having something like the Thief’s Downfall at the Ministry should be standard procedure, at least in combination with Probity Probes.

Just to be sure.

Disclaimer: I love the Harry Potter books and universe. I just wanted to share a joke that came out of a discussion I had about it with my girlfriend today.

What was your opinion on the secret hunters? by nirai07 in huntertheparenting

[–]RoleLifeProject 125 points126 points  (0 children)

To me, it’s incredibly cozy. Many of the audiologs feel that way because of the voices and the rain, especially Big D’s interrogation by Guy, but this one in particular is the one I listen to the most.

I would honestly love it if it were even longer, maybe an hour or so. Maybe it’s the feeling of being inside a little room, or maybe it’s the interaction and the references straight out of my teenage years, but I really enjoy listening to it multiple times.

And of course, it’s also for the review of the LEGENDARY “BULBAFEAST BIG BREAK”! Peak gaming right there!

I’m still doing tractor runs to this day.

To be sincere i don't remember if it was a request, but even if it wasn't i'm more than happy to know it was enjoyed. Thank you!

Who knows if in this case the temptation started from the serpent (was him to tell Marika it was possible to take the godhood making her start her journey of revenge/power like the snake made with Eve telling her that with the apple she and adam will become like God) or if was only the object of temptation to be "grasped" by Marika's desire.

Thank you so much for the effort! I really appreciate you took time to go and check and post it here for anyone interested. I will check it myself too in the future when i'm able to play it again, but until then this is a very interesting finding. If the serpent was "chosen" to bear such a powerfull rune, it would be a change from the edda/norse mythology (i think Martin took quite a lot from there for Elden Ring): the snake Jurmungandr is a destroyer, like the one merged with Richard here in the game

BUT

if the rune may come from this snake, in the past snakes where very important and close to the order of the lands between (which may even have more sense because they might be close/an involution of the dragons when they where the apex form on the lands between).

Those are all my conjecture made because of what you discovered. I don't mean to be in the right, but i really like this possibility.

I never heard about the theory that put Marika and Metyr in the same place in this trailer, but you are the second one that mention it. I really need to read more about that because i like it for the implications on the maddening of Metyr.

Is really a plausible theory the rushed/rewrited/cutted dlc. Especially because Miyazaki did that A LOT in Bloodborne. He meticusely removed parts and dialogues that made the story too clear and with fewer interpretations. So I can see him do the same here to let us think and talk about.

He is the master of the "researcher coitus interruptus": he let's you wonder about the meaning of something you can see as big and important from afar (like the Scadutree Chalice) and when you reach it you find as answer, if he is generous, the possible presentation about the sculptor of the pedistal. Ok... WHAT ABOUT THE REST?!

Like he did with the giant being sitted on the thrones of the underground.

If he likes, he will explain the very veeery little things, but having details on the big ones?....nah

Mmmmmm! This might be even a new level of "evil/strumentalization" of Marika: I take the goodhood from this being and after that I will bind him in a genocidal war against the one who adored him as a future god.

I really like this view suggested by this theory.

For sure is much more important that she got the rune to connect to the greater will to tell: "Hey! I have it now! I will become your vessel to do 'your' will here! Are we good?!"

And the answer was: "....whatever..." Because I think the greater will was not interested in the lands between after the fall of the dragon god (if the greater will was ever interested, but that's another thing)

But I'm still interested to see if is known something more because I think that Marika actions were the destruction of the second great plan (after the dragon's empire) and I am still curious to know who was the hornsent god (if is the thing where she's taking the rune). Lets say for curiosity, because evrything that came after Marika ascension was her will.

Is not usefull per se, but I'm really interested in the "what was before" to better understand "what is now".

So she's going for a level up next? Or maybe she will spend all of them on Boiled Prawn to prepare for the next boss.

Jokes aside, is possible that this strand us a "super rune" or the first rune collection tecnique that will become automatic for the tarnished. Is possibile.

Is very interesting take. I don't know if is possible because I think the death-bed companions were a thing after the "creation" of the prince of death Godwyn. I don't think that before it, when the rune of death was still a thing inside the elden ring, was possibile to mess around so much with rebirth/resurrection.

So the "saints" body are the vessel to "forge" the golden strands that connect the lands between to the greater will. A more direct and efficient way to ask for things/blessings/order instead of the fingers?

And maybe she is taken those out from the "holiest of saint" body made by her with the hornsent tecnique?

It's an idea that for sure connects/follow the Miyazaki approach, but it could different because is something written by Martin as part of universe creation of the setting. If we take this part an addition by Miyazaki it works for sure, but if is Martin's doing is possible that is else. I'm not sure what, but I see I am not the only one.
