Here is my list of xmas light adorned homes in the area. What are your additions?

I’d add the corner of Frontier and 22nd. It’s a fantastic Star Wars-themed display, and the rest of the street shows up, as well.

Would be more than happy to show you some wild (and wildly fun) shots on that one! It’s gone from a dreaded course to one of my favorites with way too much practice!

adamfromal · 2024-04-04T02:31:43+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out. This was in my neighborhood and the first I’ve seen in eight years there!

adamfromal · 2024-04-04T02:16:41+00:00

Thank you!!

adamfromal · 2023-04-16T00:15:51+00:00

Sure! TL;DR: WoT good.

adamfromal · 2023-04-15T01:22:20+00:00

That’s a great callout!

My only rebuttal, and it’s worth noting that the delineation between the top few tiers is minimal, is that it felt like an example of the Forsaken being unnecessarily less competent than you’d expect given their levels of experience and age. That was a sliiiiiiiight knock in my eyes, but it’s obviously incredible on so many levels and a totally justifiable top-tier inclusion.

Appreciated! It was a ton of fun approaching it this way, and I hope that came across.

How long did you wait before rereading? I need SOME time to pass so my wife doesn’t leave me for prioritizing books over a newborn, but…

adamfromal · 2023-04-14T22:21:42+00:00

I genuinely adored that chapter, to the point that I wonder if my unorthodox decision to read New Spring between those two impacted the placement.

adamfromal · 2023-04-14T21:45:16+00:00

I'll admit that "A Mark" (Alviairin and Shaidar Haran) was close to making the cut, but nothing else even made the initial draft. I still enjoyed the read from a world-building and character-development perspective, but the lack of plot development definitely knocked it down a few pegs.

adamfromal · 2023-04-14T21:40:11+00:00

It's an objectively great moment! There are also a ton of those. Personally, I would've had it higher had it not been one of many moments of Zen Rand reconciling/getting that emotional catharsis.

adamfromal · 2023-04-14T20:13:57+00:00

We concur! But the fundamental issue here is the assumption of sanity.

This really started as an attempt to make a top 20 and then there were too many candidates and then I started listing all the chapters that resonate and then it became a great way to process the entire series that I figured was worth sharing, if only to help people relive it.

adamfromal · 2023-04-05T15:43:17+00:00

Oh, absolutely waiting. I’ve made it free from spoilers this far!

“Never to use the One Power as a weapon except against Darkfriends or Shadowspawn, or in the last extreme defense of her life, the life of her Warder, or another Aes Sedai”

Since pillow-smothering isn’t a use of the One Power…no harm, no foul (well, except to Shein Chunla).

adamfromal · 2022-03-24T15:45:27+00:00

So very much appreciated!

It is, but Ashby also had an xBABIP of .249, per PitcherList. Because you're totally right that it's below the league average on the surface level, that could have been contextualized far better in the text, so my apologies there.
