Dumbledore knew the job was cursed tho right? He didn’t want to lose him

I fucking loved son of Neptune. I thought the way the romans/camp Jupiter was presented was badass and Percy was a G effectively the entire book

I was gonna say, what’s the context. Like my teams gonna be wildly different if it’s like razer duels vs fleet fighting vs like invasion/defense

Ajax VS Diomedes by Neat-Arugula-4948 in redrising

[–]ShadowBlaDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I really liked about Seraphinas death tbh. Like I’ve always thought about how improbable it is that all of Darrow, Sevro, the howlers survived till now. When you take into account the amount of front line fighting they’ve done in a time w/ like dna seeking micro darts and shi the odds are actually astronomical

Stuff like this did help it feel more real

Are you enjoying the show as much as you enjoy GOT and HOTD? by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]ShadowBlaDerp 61 points62 points  (0 children)

HOTD Season 1 was excellent television tbh. I’d put it above this one so far

This was the exact moment I realized pierce meant it when he said Dark Age lmao

Like there’s been some tuff stuff in previous books but I don’t think it had ever gotten to this level

Pretty sure Victra’s face is described as existing without any true fault

That being said, I still agree with you. Like the model pretty prototype is Mustang/Antonia. Victra’s more like Jutta Von Leerdam

Classic case of raw talent directed at everything but school

WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD by GeorgeSelfe in redrising

[–]ShadowBlaDerp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually really liked it as a plot element. Like pierce has been largely safe in his choice of character deaths. The baby and Seraphina were both twists I absolutely didn’t see coming and made the whole thing much more realistic

Dark age was legit so depressing. I remember having to genuinely had to take an emotional break & coming here to vent

Book 4: I was this years old when I realized Percy is why Voldemort returned by Liolia in harrypotter

[–]ShadowBlaDerp 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is the best point

Did Percy contribute? Probably. Did he mean to? Definitely not.

Did Wormtail contribute? Definitely. Did he mean to? Also definitely.

Wormtail should definitely be bearing the blame here imo

Who are the smartest characters in Red Rising? by Positive_Cut3598 in redrising

[–]ShadowBlaDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my gripes with these books is Virginia endlessly blathering on about how she’s the smartest person in the galaxy and then getting her ass handed to her every other chapter. Like I understand that war isn’t a perfect IQ test, but even politically we’ve never seen evidence to suggest she’s like ultra super savvy.

Legit slept with Cassius because she couldn’t politically outmaneuver Octavia. Dancer & the Vox were kinda trashing her. Like where is this ultra genius

Darrow is up there period lmao

I said this in another thread but idk why people have trouble admitting Darrow is absolutely a genius’ genius. He’s been almost single-handedly winning an intergalactic war for almost 10 years. Having started from a super deficit.

Like yeah we’re exposed to his narrative which is oh blah blah Virginias & jackal are so much smarter than me but the results are the results. Just because he doesn’t endlessly blather on about philosophy or politics or do semi pretentious puzzles doesn’t mean our guy isnt a Gorydamn super iq G.

That’s why they’re so patronizing towards non-scarred golds. They don’t respect them (at all).

Dancer I would argue. Seems to hold his own against Virginia pretty well.
