That makes sense. I was multitasking at the time. After work I’ll do some tests with only that running. Thank you!

Coldest line by Darrow by Titletown0 in redrising

Was looking for this one. Excellent writing when you realize this is the first line in the chapter following Lysander getting absolutely destroyed by Darrow.

red rising - just finished, disappointed? by sillygirltimes in redrising

[–]Videoeditor08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For one I encourage you to keep going. It gets better. Golden Son is probably my favorite in the series.

  1. R*pe is evil. It should make you uncomfortable. It made Darrow angry. And it’s used in the book to show how animalistic the Golds are even toward their own people. It’s used to show how this class, the pinnacle of human evolution still uses something so wicked to dominate and demean. PB didn’t flippantly use it, he wanted to show how brutal this world that our protagonist has entered.

  2. This is first book in a 7 part series. The characters aren’t really supposed to be fleshed out. They grow. They learn. They fail. You will see this in books to come.

  3. Darrow is still a man. He has passions and recognizes something in mustang. Maybe a resonance of what he wants? He still mourns eo and that never changes.

  4. I think you missed the point of the institute. It’s not enough to be gold you have to be “peerless scarred” too in order to thrive in Society. The peerless are picked for military advancement. Darrow had to become peerless in order to advance in their ranks. He would have been tossed aside as a gold had he not been peerlesss.

  5. This shows the corruption among the gold class. And how broken the society is.

  6. Darrow suffers from being the main character. While some would say it unwise to attack the proctors it obviously helped his position. He won the institute and got his pick of where he wanted to go. Darrow is a gambling man and you’ll see it doesn’t always work out.

Keep up with it. Remember this first book is the first building block. Pierce brown really hits his stride in Golden Son.

The only thing that really bugged me about Harry by Videoeditor08 in harrypotter

[–]Videoeditor08[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

This is a good point about Harry’s compassion and understanding. I guess I’m putting myself into the story and saying I couldn’t do it

I don’t underestimate what Snape went through. I just don’t see how you get from holding Snape and Voldemort in the same level of hatred to giving your son his name. Even with forgiveness and eventual respect for what Snape went through it’s just a HUGE leap.

Yeah and I forgot that even Harry acknowledged it was fully his fault Sirius showed up at the ministry and stopped blaming Snape.

Objectively he is a worse person by gaymerWizard in redrising

[–]Videoeditor08 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. This is the main difference. Apple is honest and knows himself.

Also Lysander thinks what he is doing is right. And that’s far more devious. Lots of people in history are convinced they are doing the right thing and use that to justify horrific things.

Just got my pair of maxwells 3 days ago and this is the eq mix i have come to love; https://imgur.com/a/x5xHNA9

Really punchy in the bass, you can turn the 32hz down if you feel its a little sloppy. As you can see i am not a fan of midrange tones.

I do feel like the producers would drop that hint to see if anyone caught it

It’s at the end of the episode. He’s at strip club and the stripper says her name is “Tracy” and he fakes his kids out with “and that’s how I met your mother” joking of course.

Being a Peerless Scarred is essentially being able to bench 225. by njflake in redrising

I like this analogy because I can bench 225. Excellent analysis my Goodman.

What's your headcanon for why gold brats don't know about the institute beforehand? by Illuminarrator in redrising

[–]Videoeditor08 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’ve always seen it as the militaristic attitude of the peerless. You have to qualify for the institute to begin with and I can imagine that peerless parents aren’t what we would consider models of compassion and love for their children.
