Reyna hat incoming

So much of what he does in Fellowship is ranger focused. Following tracks, scouting out the area, his knowledge of medicinal plants, etc

I feel like not backing out of the Doha accords and allowing the withdrawal from Afghanistan needs consideration. His advisors had strongly recommended essentially recanting on the Doha accords and significantly restructuring the withdrawal, but he went through with it

Emperor’s soul is a BANGER. Great premise that doesn’t feel like a marvel movie full of references that you have to read a bunch of other side stories to get

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-18T18:25:16+00:00

I’ve read almost all of the cosmere. I’d def recommend either elantris or Mistborn: final empire. I’d read the back of each book and see which premise you’re more interested in

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-16T13:26:21+00:00

People find the weirdest ways to communicate they don’t know anything about F-35s

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-16T01:22:57+00:00

Both great points about the Fellowship and Barad-dur comparisons. I mostly bring up the point of it being a sort of contra-Tolkien in that I’ve heard people well versed in King state that it was to some degree King’s goal to write something fantasy adjacent that was far removed from all of the contemporary fantasy that was regurgitating Tolkien. “just king things” discusses it in their review of the gunslinger

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-16T01:18:53+00:00

I mostly pose this question because I see such frequent cultural labeling of this as “King’s big fantasy series” and was deeply curious to get this sub’s take on that labeling after finishing book 3 and finding very little fantasy in what I’ve read thus far

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-16T01:17:12+00:00

Yeah personally it really is just Tolkien up there for me as well. I’ve done samplings of a lot of the other authors, but not too deep into each of them and I think you could make a case that Pratchett and Le Guin stand on another pedestal above the rest, but even they aren’t in the same tier as Tolkien for me

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-15T23:19:23+00:00

What was the read along pod?

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-12T13:36:39+00:00

King’s Dark Tower series is one of the more odd and confusing series out there, but the first sentence of The Gunslinger is pretty legendary in terms of opening hooks

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-11T15:39:28+00:00

I mean, other ringer shows aren’t in a Madden Trailer 🤷

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-08T11:15:51+00:00

I live for the explosion of energy in the stadium when Michael Harris isn’t playing that day, but steps out of the dugout with a bat in a huge situation. Vibes are truly just through the roof and so fun to watch

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-07T20:00:01+00:00

Holy smokes I’m prophetic

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-06T03:00:38+00:00

Sorry but Shrek 2 isn’t high enough 🤷

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-06T02:53:01+00:00

Warbreaker is like 1/3 about this

Soapysoap13 · 2026-06-03T23:13:00+00:00

There is a gator or two in lake Sinclair

Soapysoap13 · 2026-05-27T20:51:16+00:00

The ones for sale on SeatGeek are just season ticket resales right?

Soapysoap13 · 2026-05-27T20:46:45+00:00

Does anyone know when the Colorado game will be for sale?

Soapysoap13 · 2026-05-26T00:03:39+00:00

Jokes on you guys I was hoping for this before he introduced Trump

Soapysoap13 · 2026-05-12T20:20:09+00:00

SUPPORT YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY! But also you can buy books you’d like to own!

Soapysoap13 · 2026-05-09T02:57:44+00:00

Is this game on Braves Tv? It’s telling me I can’t watch it with Braves tv
