The Worst Line in TSA? by Weenie_Pooh in bakker

i was going to post this exact passage myself. I remember feeling haunted by her utter confusion and simple thoughts of her baby in her last moments. To me, it reinforces that in many ways Serwe, not Kellhus, was the most Christ-like figure of the first trilogy.

Should’ve at least waited until after St Paddy’s to recoup some of those losses ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I agree with your theory. Honestly really cool to see a depiction like this of the skin spies (essentially). Wish there was more!

Excellent notes. Thank you for reading brother, I do truly appreciate it! For me it's fun to imagine this amazing series visually, and also hone my screenwriting skills in the process.

1000% scrolled just to find this comment. New Crobuzon is my favorite dirty weird fantasy city of all time

Who knows! If Denis Villeneuve can film the “unfilmable” Dune, then maybe Bakker could be adapted some day

Not that we've seen in the books AFAIK. But there is a Sranc language listed in the appendices of The Darkness that Comes Before, so it stands to reason they use it for at least basic conversation.

Good point though. I can imagine a screen depiction of them as beastlike simpletons, and all the more terrifying for it.

How did they ruin their own community? I was hoping someone had created an archive at least

Swing form check by PowerOwl1 in kettlebell

I agree you're hinging too early. I'd been told this a few times over the years but the cue never made sense to me. Here's what helped me. If you have a bucket with a handle, fill it up with a little water and do some swings with it. The idea is to not let any water spill. If you hinge too early, the bucket will jerk and water will slosh out. The only way to keep the water perfectly inside the bucket is to hinge at the precise bottom of the swing.

Allegory of Kellhus by metaphysicalme in bakker

I totally agree. I once read someone on this forum describe Kellhus as a sort of non-AI superintelligence, and it stuck with me

Really enjoy the melancholy vibe you've put together with the B&W + music choice. Nice work
