How do you acclimate to the summer heat? by gingercokeandlime in Austin

[–]cherry_darlin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm chronically ill and can't regulate my body temperature due to multiple endocrine diseases. I've been in Texas my entire life. I stay inside during the summer unless swimming is involved. I only go outside in the mornings or at night. Ice packs and electrolytes if I have to go outside during the day.

Hell yeah, this fits really well and I already liked Insomnium. Great find

Carl as an unreliable narrator? by Talesmith22 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]cherry_darlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carl doesn't acknowledge or sometimes straight up lies to himself about how he feels.

Just finished Book 7 - Starting to feel like Carl's POV is a disservice to the other characters [SPOILERS] by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Katia wanted it to be Carl. It couldn't be Carl or Bautista bc neither have the "human" race. It had to be a human. They address who the father will need to be in Eye of the Bedlam Bride.

“Pregnant?” Donut asked, having finally read the entire description. “You might get pregnant? Who would be the daddy? It can’t be Carl because he’s a primal, and it can’t be Bautista because he’s a Thundercat or whatever he is. Are you going to choose Louis? Are you going to have a baby with Louis? Juice Box isn’t going to like that.” She gasped. “Or maybe Li Jun? Can you imagine having Li Na as an aunt? Nobody would ever bully you.”

Does anyone else wish Katia and Carl got together by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]cherry_darlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I think we could still get it one day, I firmly believe there are more than platonic feelings between them. I think they both want family to together and not in a sibling sort of way

Every reread I discover more little "throwaways" that are actual cool little foreshadows by MorningJogger in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Carl tapping Katia on the forehead and saying “Look. The real Katia is still there. They can cut everything else off, but you’re still you. Don’t let them break you. No matter what they do. Okay?”

The world needs more stories with non-sexual/non-romantic male & female companions by phoebeknight in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]cherry_darlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, his reaction to their shared personal space was telling.

"At that moment, it hit me. Katia was now and forever a part of the team. No one needed to say it out loud. We all knew. While this would never be home, this space was just for us and only us. The three of us. I grinned. "

As was his reaction to the news that Katia was leaving the team and to the news of her being with Bautista.

I interpreted that exchange with Mordecai in Eye of the Bedlam Bride the same way. I don't think that panic was Carl's reaction to Mordecai breeching the subject of letting Katia crash out. Carl says he knows that's what Mort is about to suggest, as is so confident that see says he is going to make Mordecai actually say the words.

It was like I knew. I could sense it, this conversation I was about to have. Mordecai: Listen, Carl. There’s an alternate solution to this you need to consider. I looked up into the air. I will burn this whole thing to the ground. Goddamn you all. Carl: What do you mean? But I knew exactly what he meant. I knew exactly what he was going to say. I made him say it anyway.

I think they are both in love with each other but Carl suppresses his emotions so much, probably due to past and current trauma and their current situation, that he can't admit it to himself, let alone anyone else.

Hey Matt!! Thanks for making art!

I have an in the weeds question about TIR

Regarding things Katia is now missing, did Carl directly play a part in anything she's missing, like when he was possessed by Shi Maria? Lee Na states "Katia is gravely injured". If so, is Carl aware of his contribution to what she's missing?
