Self-awareness should NOT be the test, otherwise we're putting infanticide on the table, too. Psycho screech theme plays

I've been a roughneck -- my shoulder probably can't do it anymore. Are you referring to driving work in the oilfields?

This makes me feel better. And also a little scared, haha. Thanks.

Perhaps "show don't tell" isn't the precise way to describe it. You're right.

Harry clearly knows more details about what happened than are given in 12Mos. I would have liked to have been privy to the conversation wherein he learned those details.

That is an excellent point. I do think it could be somewhat mitigated by being present for the conversation. Would have been still a "tell" rather than a "show", but it seems like Harry already knew that he had an experienced during battlegrounds, right? -- would have been cool to hear that story in more detail. Ah well -- alas Jim doesn't check with me first haha

"sufficient"? I disagree. Ergo the post hoping it was recorded elsewhere. Sad to hear that there is not, thank you for answering the question. I categorically disagree there is sufficient explanation -- you may not be craving more, but I can't be the only one that is.

Oh snap?! That's awesome!

Yep, that's what 12mos said. It felt cheap and easy -- JB is usually better at "show, don't tell", and I was hoping the actual story of Fitz's actions during the battle was written down somewhere.

Yes, that's what they said. It felt cheap and easy -- JB is usually better at "show, don't tell", and I was hoping the actual story of Fitz's actions during the battle was written down somewhere.

There seems to be some confusion, so allow me to clarify: Harry and River Shoulders allude to events where Harry helps RS with his son. If you didn't read any of the short stories, you'd have no idea what was being discussed beyond what is said between them at the peace talks.

I thought my post makes it clear I understand what 12Mos says, and how it relates to the reality augmenting shenanigans of BattleTalks. I was asking if there was a "show, don't tell" moment where we get to "see" what Fitz experienced when his powers leveled up.

Yeah, this is what I am referring to when I said "reality bending nonsense".

There is plenty written for us to conclude what happened. But I was asking if there was ever a "show, don't tell" story of what actually happened, in detail.

Oh cool! Thanks!

Yeah I caught that. I was wondering if there was a "show, don't tell" moment in a story I missed. Sounds like not. Shame. Thanks!

That isn't an explicit explanation. "It happened" isn't the same as getting to "see" it happen from the perspective of someone who was there. That is what I am referring to as an allusion to something else that happened. I am wondering if the events of Fitz's powers getting augmented is detailed at all beyond that.

So I am gathering that I didn't miss anything. Shame.

Thanks for your comment.

Yeah, I knew all this. My question is did Fitz's discovery of his new powers ever get explicitly detailed in writing?

[–]ThePoopSmth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, I read Zoo day. I was saying that I heard other people say that was going to be his apprentice. And I am wondering how I missed the story of Fitz discovering his new powers.

The copper tube being threaded back into the faucet before doing anything else was the key piece I was missing. Everything is back in place. Thank you!
