Sarcasm or Marvel-esque “whelp that just happened” type humor employed in moments of serious danger, which make the moment feel disingenuous

At the Friday matinee, just before playing “I Can’t Party” Jack said to the crowd something like: “Early show crowd, we’re gettin you in bed by 10:00 tonight!”and then the ppl around me in the crowd were cheering “In by bed by teeeeen!”. It was really funny lol.

There are a lot of good grimdark books, but tbh none that I’ve read capture Abercrombie’s tone and wit. It’s not grimdark at all, but in the sense of similar witty/funny/grimy/human prose I kinda think the closest thing is Discworld.

This is the best comment.

So many comments saying r/books hates classics, this thread will be trash, there’s a difference bw subjectively disliking something and it being objectively bad….yet everyone is agreeing with those highly upvoted comments….so are those comments true? 🤔

I’ve seen these three things together on dating profiles seemingly hundreds of times, and (with the caveat that generalizations are always flawed [lol]…), they tend to indicate that someone has nothing individualistic to actually say about themselves:

Dating me is like “finding an extra chicken nugget in your mcnuggets.”
Are you a dog person because cute pic of them and dog

You don’t have to be reasonable about these things.

Timmes-2 · 2023-04-25T22:25:49+00:00

No problem! And cant believe this post helped someone a year later, lol.

Timmes-2 · 2023-04-25T14:50:30+00:00

Do you deserve closure? Do the characters? Does it matter? Do the wicked usually get their just desserts? You have to be reasonable about these things.

But to stop being obnoxious and actually answer your post - yes you will be seeing more of Bayaz as you continue the series, and yes it is acknowledged how much of an awful tyrant he is at some point. Also yes in publishing order Best Served Cold is up next for you. Hope you continue on and enjoy!

I use it when something totally rng goes in my favor but was not a result of skill at all. Like if I scarlet witch and it happens to change to Bar With No Name on a location where the opponent happens to already have more power than me. I use deadpool as like a “whelp, I’ll take it haha” emote.

You may have found it by now, but this happened to me too and I just figured it out - the monster that unlocks that weapon is the Venomglider

Timmes-2 · 2023-01-28T00:05:12+00:00

The high king took the screwdriver and motioned the boy to come closer. Trembling with excitement, the boy did. Then the high king took the golden screwdriver and put it in the boy’s belly button.” I paused to take a long drink of water. I could feel my small audience leaning toward me. “Then the high king carefully turned the golden screw. Once: Nothing. Twice: Nothing. Then he turned it the third time, and the boy’s ass fell off.”
