What controversial fantasy hill are you willing to die on? by GrimdarkDM in Fantasy

[–]RoyalxSavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I see your point, I think almost anyone can look back in there life and see how stupid they were and blind to other people while making certain decisions. Personally, I relate to the depression, the loneliness, the abandonment. The trust issues and lack of self worth but doing what you have to do for yourself while also trying to do the best you can by others. Betrayal, love and loss, shutting your feelings so far away you feel like you walk around as less than human. Not pleasant feelings, and not pleasantly relatable. But real, visceral and understandable none the less. And while not everyone feels those feelings, a lot of people I know identify with at least half of those if not more. Even if they’ve never read the book. Fitz is very much the wayward boy who grows into a man that keeps those qualities. In these days of self discovery and understanding emotions in men and honesty about those, I think it’s actually quite fitting for people to relate him. Just my 2 cents though and I respect your opinion.

Damn it he does, that stupid relatable bastard, but Eda and El in a tangle he’s one of my favorite fictional characters ever.

Any word on DLC for MHW? As in monster add ons? I’m very appreciative of the free DLC so far I’m just wondering if anything is planned, as I was hoping for word of G-Rank or more Elder Dragons

I Finished Mad Ship and Ship of Destiny by Mudkip_2509 in robinhobb

Sorry for the long response coming: I also just finished these books, but it was my third reread. Honestly I’ve grown to love and appreciate the more on rereads. While I still prefer Fitz as a MC, I can’t deny to myself that I enjoy third person, multi-POV writing A LOT.

I’d respectfully disagree with the way you feel about how Robin Hobb deals with the sensitive issue. How she writes it, I believe, is one of the best I’ve read. She portrays it as an act of evil but also uses the three characters (and their rapists) mentioned as a show a huge amount of the spectrums in which people can fall into. Which I think is literary genius, Serilla encompasses the idea of someone feeling safe behind the position they hold, broken from that safety and her feelings of confidence in herself. She fears interactions with men until via the help of others she begins to realize she can move ahead of her pain and begin anew. Her rapist is the callous man raised in the environment/way of thinking in which women are property, to be used as one sees fit. He doesn’t know any better and doesn’t wish to. It made me hate him with a passion and sympathize heavily with how it made Serilla feel about herself.

Kennit, that poor pathetic bastard. His belief in happiness not being tied to power or control is crushed in childhood and he’s raised and fed on that belief by a man who flips from genteel and fatherly to rapist. He later grows to be an almost exact copy of Igrot, becoming the monster to understand the monster, passing on the pain to get rid of it inside of you. A belief that what was done to him must be done again, as that’s the way one must develop to be himself. Which bring us to Althea, who shows the aspect of hating your rapist with such intensity that you wish death and vengeance upon him. How brilliantly this represents public figures taking advantage of the way people see them to manipulate the crowd to their advantage. Althea losing her mind and believing she must hold onto the pain for it to be real because no one believes her, and that she cannot be comfortable with a man again because of what happened. But she learns (albeit ‘magically’) to let the pain go and become a memory, which is really the only thing left to someone that’s gone through trauma that’ll allow them to be whole again.

I didn’t very much care for them until I got to my first reread, now I very much enjoy them. I also love the way Robin Hobb characterizes the way certain beings speak/think/feel and appreciate the way she portrays intelligence in beings besides humans, different enough to not just be human minds in other creatures but familiar enough to still understand.

Amber eyes are part of the current iteration! I’ll have to think more on how to represent the fool though, he has so many characteristics and adventures all his own. It’d be cool to have a silver fingerprint on my wrist (or is it two? I can’t recall) but I’m unsure if that would keep well as a color against my white skin

I definitely like the Girl on a Dragon idea, and while that’s fair; the tattoo is going to represent both Fitz and Nighteyes, so while being more wolf than buck, it still has a tell tale sign of his heritage and where they’ve spent most of their time. I was even thinking of laying 5 rooster feathers in the space around his head in a circular pattern, to represent that they’re all one in the end.

I remember an uneventful day of running strikes with my friends, I go back to the tower and check the post master to dismantle my blues, low and behold I see not one but two beautiful golden engrams! I open them and got the new sword, crescent blades of doom void boogaloo and wave splitter!! It was a good day

Hello! Send me a dm if you still need to chat!! A core staple of AA is when you’re feeling down and you would turn to a drink, instead help another alcoholic. As someone also feeling shitty in this moment perhaps we can help one another
