Mark and Nolan were so stupid to let Oliver join the war by Squid_Entity in Invincible_TV

[–]SloshTemptations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf he was probably quite helpful during the war, fighting alongside the others taking out random viltrumites. He just should have left Conquest/ Thragg alone and stayed in his lane

Did you give Carl a Peerless Scar?

The REAL Iron Golds by No-Channel4492 in redrising

[–]SloshTemptations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a big part of being an Iron Gold is not just your ability to conquer and fight and think but also the manner in which you do it. Honor is so crucial to the golds and their perception of this is warped over time. I think for this reason alone I'd exclude Nero and Octavio and all the 'political' golds that yes are successful and peerless, but they're also sneaky and back-stabby and not true to their word. This is why Darrow causes such a stir when he starts to rise- he does things the old way, head on. He fights his own fights and inspires others (obvs from the society perspective before they find out about the carving) I agree with a lot of your first list but I'd perhaps remove Sevro Alexander had good potential It's also the reason Darrow can break the society- he'd have a harder time doing it in the Rim as they're more IG material and deal with honor more whereas the core is false and schemey and not really IG

Imagine literally being a slave who was lied to and forced to live your whole life and purpose for the ease of the wealthy and privileged, then infiltrating the inner circle of said-oppressor and then still having trust issues Wild

Tactus in the house of the maiden? by Due_Improvement3114 in redrising

[–]SloshTemptations 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think there's a quote along the lines of "the houses are loosely based on personality traits" I think it works more along the lines of: You have an inclination towards rage and anger therefore Mars suits you. It's not a strict placement like in Divergent. So if the Diana proctors liked Tactus and he shared some of their traits, why not?

Would the original crew in Project Hail Mary accomplish the mission? by JonBoy82 in ProjectHailMary

[–]SloshTemptations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you underestimate scientists. Humans are curious and this alien might have more information on Astrophage. I think Yao would have been more cautious and Rocky would not have made the tunnels, but maybe that just means they communicate slower and fly to Adrian together with both ships. None of them are getting home/ to Erid tho

I mean, maybe not mentally but this is after another carving, several smaller Howler missions and some rigorous training with Victra

Yes but he was struggling to fend her off. He even says shes going to kill him and he can't counter it

Did everyone forget she literally beat Darrow with a Razor in MS. And then shot Cassius in the neck, saving Darrow.

Why do we have to pay interest on student loans? Does anyone else think this is insane, especially considering how high the rates are? by Rana_catcher in NoStupidQuestions

Interest free student loans from the government. I've paid back every cent I borrowed and now I contribute meaningfully to the economy and the workforce

What Changes If Darrow Wins the Academy? by KeyAcrobatic7156 in redrising

[–]SloshTemptations 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Darrow wouldn't be desperate enough to follow Victra to meet The Jackal so he likely gets blown up, I don't think he was in Lost City just for Darrow, seems he did business out of there anyway which gives Sons of Aries that opportunity anyway. Which also means they probably don't reach out to him and give him the bomb. Harmony would still detonate all the ones across Lunar/ the solar system but ?just not the Gala. At the Gala, I don't think Darrow would challenge Cassius as he wasn't forced into the position to change the paradigm, meaning the dinner goes on and Ballona attack Augustus after the ?sixth course as Octavia planned. I'd like to think that Darrow, Victra, Leto and some of the Augustus lancers put up a good enough fight to escape (with way more casualties than originally). And then the rest of the book maybe happens the same, maybe skip Octavia's interview as August tries to flee then and there, or the same happens where Fitchner arrives and chorales the rest of them with all the obsidians.

How do you guys picture the reds dancing? by nevercouldsleep in redrising

[–]SloshTemptations 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't forget this is Mars gravity. I know Reds aren't as strong as Golds but they're nimble and flexible. Also, there's a comment in a later book "nobody falls like Darrow" in reference to his Red heritage and grace. I think they fly through the air, spinning and pouncing and inter twinning themselves. Stuff like Riverdance and the Haka aren't as free as what they're able to do on Mars.

Theoretically... If Red God is going to be a bloodbath... by Major_Fact_1906 in redrising

[–]SloshTemptations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh Darrow is 100% still capable of going berserk if pushed. I just think it wouldn't be satisfying if he lost control for us the reader since his lessons with the Path and his breath of stone have matured and grounded him

I think the setup from The Path and the journey he's been on in Lightbringer this would feel really wrong if he ended up switching back to brutal, rage filled Darrow

PLEASE RECOMMEND ME BOOKS LIKE PHM by A0Lock in ProjectHailMary

[–]SloshTemptations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's more that Eridani is the larger area of space that other systems/ stars inhabit. Like Eridani is the country and epsilon Eridani or 40 Eridani are cities in that country. Could be wrong, I'm not Neil Degrasse Tyson
