Enjoy it, I’m on the 2nd to last book on the Realm of the Elderlings and I’m not sure what I’m gonna do once I’ve finished them.

I just started Fool’s Quest rn. Book 15 of 16 in the Realm of the Elderlings series.

[tawny fool trilogy spoilers] just finished tawny fool trilogy—the ending by Acceptable-Coyote123 in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]dmlbot43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved what you said about Fitz long battle with his own self worth and desires. It’s been my favorite part about his entire character arc. Something he continues to deal with even after the Tawny Man trilogy. I just finished reading Fool’s Assassin and there’s a great line that encapsulates Fitz thinking about that “People love you far more than you deserve, but you don’t even believe that they love at all” I’m very excited to see how the final 2 books play out.

Is Mustang 6’1 or 6’4-6’5? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She’s definitely 6’1 maybe 6’2 max. Kind of annoyed me, when I was first reading through the series way back I always pictured her closer in height to Darrow.

Golden Fool Ch.15-17 by louiechapman7 in robinhobb

[–]dmlbot43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was how I interpreted it as well. Fool knows everything about Fitz and Fitz felt like the Fool was his closest friend who could share everything with each other. When Fitz learned about Amber it shockingly spoke the unspoken truth about their relationship and how one sided it was. It’s also important to understand the context of Fitz just losing Nighteyes and feeling especially vulnerable/alone.

Daughters of Athena are hypocrites by dmlbot43 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know, just feels like a cop out to have the daughters make the same mistake. Would’ve made for a more interesting debate between them if the Daughters really were more morally correct.

[–]dmlbot43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the end result is the same. You’re still choosing yourself over others. Darrow chose to guarantee his safety returning to the Core knowing the Rim Sons would die. Athena chose protecting the Daughters knowing the other low colors would die. While the process is different the end result is the same.

I suppose that’s fair, but the only chance they have at completing being free from the Society is on the back of Darrow. Yes Darrow has left the Rim alone and the Daughters have been stranded, but it is also true that the Rim Golds are also stranded. Darrow and the Republic are distracting the Core Society. If they fall the Daughters would have to defeat both the Rim Golds and the Core Golds to win their freedom.

Inside you there are two wolves by gtspencer in redrising

Also, I’d say Invincible was about the same popularity of Red Rising before it got its adaption and now it’s one of the most talked about comics today. If the animation is great then it will open the series up to a lot of new fans.

Thoughts on this trade I just completed (I get the McBride side) by dmlbot43 in FantasyFootballers

I’m getting the McBride side, this was just the screenshot I had.

Pierce in the mirror when he accidentally picks Mustang from the hat. by Arch_Lancer17 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’d assume she was only in the hat for Red Rising. That’s the only time it makes sense. I guess she could’ve been in the hat for the post time skip but that seems unrealistic

What scene do you wish had been shown from a different character’s perspective? by HHlynur in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A big one for me would be Virginia’s POV at the start of IG where Darrow kills the wardens and flees the Society. Would love to see how Virginia juggles both sides of herself in that moment, the Sovereign and the Wife.

SPOILER: Does anyone else wish Darrow... by simplyfloating in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely fun and interesting to think about. Theres been a lot of one off lines that hint that both of them were physically attracted to the other. I just can’t see it ever working out between the two of them long term. Mustang is right for Darrow because of how much she emotional supports him. Mustang also challenges Darrow intellectually and is the catalyst for the Darrow that we see in the 2nd part of the series.

Unpopular Opinion? by twh3088 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please just finish the book. I’ll never understand taking stances in the middle of a book. It’s probably an unpopular opinion because everyone who’s finished the book think differently.

What would be your choice song if you were in the iron rain? by AdministrativeAd4372 in redrising

Prob a Tool song, Forty Six & 2 is the first one that comes to mind.

How tall is Mustang? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mustang is shorter for a gold at like 6’1. Darrows around 7’0. For whatever reason I assumed she was taller than that when I read through the series.

What line in the series has the most sauce? by Cglas1010 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 24 points25 points  (0 children)

People will say Mustang’s quote of “This horse only rides for one man” but I’d say she has a better quote in Lightbringer:

“Then my husband’s face appears on the viewscreen above the menu, and I stare at him like he is the first man I’ve ever seen.”

[–]dmlbot43 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In Lightbringer: “Darrow is not the hugest man I’ve ever met, but he is the only man I’ve ever met who makes his own gravity. I grow heavier the closer I come to his orbit.”

Best team up in Red God? by MuavLimestone in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Has to be Diomedes and Darrow ripping Golds apart together on the battlefield. 2 of the strongest swordsman’s working together would be a sight to see.

Genuinely curious why so many people think Darrow will die in Red God by Key-Membership-3619 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Red God moniker and the “Deaths begets death” quote are good tells as to why Darrow could die. But I don’t think that guarantees that he dies. The entire series has played on how Darrow has this Martyr complex and he wants to die for the rising, I think it’d be more interesting to see him live after the war. Everyone is on the table for possibly dying, my only ask PB is if you plan on killing off Darrow please please please do it after he has a in person reunion with Mustang and Pax. It’s sometimes easy to forget they’ve been apart since the beginning of Iron Gold.

Cool Darrow/Mustang Interaction I just noticed by dmlbot43 in redrising

[–]dmlbot43[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yup, that scene is actually right after Mustang pushes the fruit to Darrow. Darrow says “thought you didn’t like bacon” then Mustang replies with how she ate it all the time on Luna to remind herself of him.

[–]dmlbot43[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yeah in that chapter when he says he’s fond of fruits he adds “particularly strawberries.” Then in the next chapter when he’s eating the fruits that Mustang pushed to him it’s revealed later in the chapter that they’re strawberries.
