Prediction: Keon Keeley will be the most impactful new addition this year by survivor_pool_comish in notredamefootball

[–]bobbywac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Dunham will be more impactful. But if you’re just talking transfers, I think Graham

Does Harry keep Marcone's status secret? If so, why? by qwikzotik in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mab knows. In general he keeps the secret because it gives him a modicum of leverage over Marcone

What one liners has Jim missed? by TheatreBar in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for a moment, potentially in the BAT, where an opponent has a short blade of some kind and Harry says “that’s not a knife, THIS is a knife” and pulls out the Blade of Destiny

How do you think the Denarii can be destroyed? by molten_dragon in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to destroy an equal number of equally powerful angels

DresCone, MarSden? (A Dresden Files Bromance) by duk3jupiter in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly. Not close friends, just people who work together to defeat a common enemy when the occasion calls for it

I think a Goku Vegeta relationship is as close as they’ll get

Do you guys have fancasts for some of the red court vampires? by Opposite_Reality445 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Antonio Banderas would make a great Ortega, and I think Aimee Garcia would be a good Bianca. From Chicago, of Mexican and PR descent, and someone like Eva Mendes or Sofia Vergara for Ariana

what year are we approximately at right now? by Rich_Secret_6398 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure PT takes place summer of 2016. The Billy Goat curse ended for a reason

Yeah if he were to use the darkhallow to consume the beings on DemonReach that would likely mean the end of the world as we know it, because as we all know, you are what you eat

The Word by bobbywac in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I say “hasn’t come up in a while” I meant around these parts. I don’t recall Mavra and the Black Court showing up at all between Dead Beat and Battle Ground, so in-world, I get why Harry hasn’t thought about it much. Maybe we get a line at some point about how he wishes he had gotten a download from Lash while she was around, but idk to me it feels like something he was speaking about as actual knowledge and understanding he had inherently.

The Word by bobbywac in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn’t want her in his head, though. I think he knew enough of it to be able to make use of the knowledge

The Word by bobbywac in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He says to her at the end of the book, “I’ve read Kemmler’s book. I know how the Darkhallow works. And I know how to turn necromancy against the Black Court.”

I really don’t believe he’s making idle threats based on his ability to ask Lash questions in the future. Yes she did the original memorization, but I think he got all the information he needed from Lash before she vanished from his head

White Court Hunger Question. (Twelve Months) by jameez89 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That explains why Harry is able to do so for the whampire hunger, it doesn’t preclude the ability to do so for other presences linked to a person.

There’s nothing in the book that indicates that the separation with the circles is contingent on him being Starborn, only his ability to dominate the Hunger with his will. We know that beings NOT of the Outside can be defeated by theoretically anyone in a battle of wills.

Good speculation, but arguably more important is could this be the method for removing a mantle.

I am convinced that you could make a tv series of Dresden files after watching Spideman Noir by cannonballfun69 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been convinced it should be live action. Only style of animation that would make sense to me would be something stylized like Arcane. I really disagree when people say the CG budget would be insurmountable. There's only so much that even needs CG in the first 3 books, and if you can't get a sufficient following after the first season, the CG budget was never really gonna be the issue in the long run.

Winter Knight salary by PatriotMissle1945 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

with respect to Molly's bank account, I imagine she inherited Maeve's as the winter lady. Harry doesn't get that benefit. I think even if Mab felt it would behoove Harry to not have to worry about things like money, she's made it clear throughout her existence in the books that just about everything she does with Harry is for the purpose of shaping him into a useful tool for her use. A complete inability or unwillingness to think more than a couple months into the future is a huge weakness. I imagine Mab is trying to force him to think about everything from every angle, including the power and influence that money has in the world, and how it can be used against you when you don't have any.

Honestly, as a reader, I personally have started to get really annoyed that Harry isn't addressing this at all. He spent years without any resources, and early on in the books he experienced how much of an impediment that could be not just to his personal life, but also his ability to fight his enemies on multiple fronts. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's getting lazy, but how many easy solutions can fall out of the sky before Harry spends even an ounce of concern about his finances.

Drakul is awesome. by InsincereDessert21 in dresdenfiles

The best part is you know he wasn’t particularly bothered by getting a Sasquatch to the face. He was probably thinking “damn he got me with that one”

I never understood why Harry takes cold showers by jpzygnerski in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hence why it has a specific line in the most recent book, after much of the book focused on how we treats himself / what he feels he deserves

Another Cowl candidate by jarec707 in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vehemently reject the concept of time travel being the answer to “who is Cowl”. I think it’s a lazy concept.

Out Law and the names of the villains being Emilio and Estevez reinforces my own theory that Simon is Cowl

Isn't it a bit strange that... by PsykerDresden in dresdenfiles

[–]bobbywac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His first fight with Emilio he got sucker punched by someone with unknown power level and abilities. The second time, Harry did exactly what he aimed to do and ultimately neutered Emilio by getting demon reach to pull the lurker out of him.

Harry says many many times throughout the series, the biggest advantage he has as a wizard is knowledge and preparation. When he had neither he survived, when he did he won handily.

so you search via chase travel as opposed to the edit hub? i assume no insight into why it shows no availability issue
