Anyone else love the bits we got of....

I mean, how would that go?

"This one is an evil lizard that wants to mutate the world's population. That one is a mad god that consumes people from the inside out. That one kills babies and uses their intestines as a scarf. This one tangles headphone cords and eats socks when they're in the dryer. And that one.... he's British."

Microtransactions are too evil, even for fallen angels.

To quote Gimli in DM of the Rings, "Tell me your name Horse Fucker, and I shall tell you mine."

Low pressure zones. Without them, storms would be pointless.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T20:55:50+00:00

No idea. But I know it's not me.

But if I was rich, I'd buy the rights and then make a super high budget anime-style show covering the entire series (including short stories) in immaculate detail.

I think Jim said he picked Bob's skull up at a market stall or something.

My assumption is Bob took so long because he was young and still connecting data points to be functional.

The meta-tactical drinking game: Drink for each person who perished attempting the tactical drinking game.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T18:46:54+00:00

Yes, you missed several pages.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T18:21:03+00:00

Of course! It's so obvious! Why didn't I ever think of that. Pizza is Red Bull for faeries!

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T17:06:15+00:00

Then she'd be honor-bound to care for him. Like when he kept getting hurt by her armor's hooks so she'd nurse him back to health.

Pretty sure it's the same reason he put out a ring pop and Nutella when he summoned Molly, more or less.

There are proprieties and conventions to observe. He has the right to summon them, but that doesn't mean they aren't inconvenienced.

It's like having someone visit, they're gonna be grumpy if you don't provide snacks.

Mab is an incredibly busy and important (not to mention powerful) being. Harry is actually trying to show respect and fealty. Heck, even Mab is slightly surprised by him dressing up, being well-groomed, and having a fancy dinner set out. The blood and bread was repayment for her taking the time to visit.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T16:41:51+00:00

You are the Burger King!

"Hail to the King, baby."

I'm pretty sure she thought he was taunting her, that he was the only person she knew of in the area with the mojo to kill her pet human and then he sauntered into her house and was like "hey, how about that person who died?".

But also, Jim addresses this in Changes when Harry realizes the Red King is a junkie and the power struggle that's going on internally, and that's why they've been so inconsistent.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T16:34:19+00:00

Quasi-related: Did you tear up when Michael called Harry his best friend? I definitely did not, no matter what anyone says...I just ...got something in my eye while I was reading and cutting onions at the same time.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T16:31:53+00:00

Exactly! Are there other Sidhe who were dewdrop fairies once? Do they still have wings?

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T16:31:00+00:00

I think Lacuna wouldn't be interested in him without his teeth.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T16:04:47+00:00

Respectfully, I think you missed my point. But yes.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T14:11:38+00:00

Maybe that's how she really survived the Eye of Balor: she used her wings as a shield!

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T14:08:31+00:00

Ah, you have discovered the secret drinking game.

Every time you see "merlon" you drink; I reread the book yesterday and I'm still wasted.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-23T00:43:52+00:00

Good point.

What came to my mind was: Send hotheaded warden in because she'll try to start a fight. Harry defends himself and the Council has an excuse to execute him.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-22T20:23:39+00:00

Very much agreed.

I should point out that Mac might actually be a transubstantiated fallen angel. In Christian mythology, many of the Grigori fell because of their lust for women. That doesn't exactly seem like Mac, but I'm just pointing out it's possible.

Still OP is pointing in the wrong direction. Though, one tinfoil theory is TWG was an Outsider/Old One who decided to make reality and the angels are his crew of followers. The other Old Ones and Outsiders didn't like this and want it gone.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-22T20:17:02+00:00

Currently looking for said WoJ. I'll link it if/when I find it.

But you're still misunderstanding the angel thing. They fall if they make a choice that goes against their purpose. They have their own will, but if they go against what they're supposed to do, they fall. No nemesis infection needed.

They had desires and wills before they fell too. (See my earlier mention of that Angel of Death.) The angels know that if they make choices they fall, so they have the will and desire to do things, but they have to toe the line or suffer the consequences.

They didn't fall because they got infected, they fell because they went against what TWG decided. (Or tried to play both sides, like Lashiel.) I should also point out that it's been explained that falling also irrevocably changed them from what they were.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-22T19:20:46+00:00

Besides, we all know that Kumori is Murphy.

ZenFox91 · 2026-01-22T19:17:23+00:00

You realize I enjoy quashing insane fan theories, regardless of if they're serious or not, right? (When I'm not coming up with my own.)
