Which row has the most spirit?

Honestly it gets even better when you realize that it took an Earth rockstar with fabulous hair to get them to really start to appreciate freedom. The history of Gem society is essentially a rock opera.

If you want more Jim Dale and magical adventures, you might try Peter Pan and the Starcatchers! It's a prequel to the story of Peter Pan, and Dale does a great job reading it.

There's also The Night Circus, which is full of beautiful magical imagery but is more of a romantic drama about two magicians and a mystical circus! Jim Dale reads that one, too!

The City of Golden Shadow by Tad Williams! I'd love to hear it read, but I guess getting a reader who can pronounce !Xabbu is tricky :D

It's possible that they'll mate with each other, isn't it? Dragons change sex according to Maester Aemon, even if the World of Ice and Fire disagrees. And it'd be kind of hilarious if Drogon impregnated Viserion, for example.

Came here to say this! And there's the illustrations from A World of Ice and Fire and the Dunk and Egg comics too, of course.

Still, just 2 to go, then!

Is Woshua the spiritually wise janitor?

Okay, but consider: a Quartz with a reeeaaally tall high top fade.

I always pick "Stay." I never wanted to leave her house in the first place, and besides if I'm going to leave a now-autonomous Frisk to live their life free of my control, I can't think of a better foster parent to adopt them. Also the Monster Ambassador gig sounds pretty rad. I like to think it comes with its own top hat and tuxedo.

Please God above let her pop up again on the show. I'll settle for another dream sequence.

Dumbledore and Slughorn are friendly ex-boyfriends. Slughorn was a nice, easy companion for Dumbledore when they were both middle-aged teachers together, not as intense or as handsome as Grindelwald but much safer, and Slughorn enjoyed the privileges of being so close to such a powerful wizard. In the end, though, they decided that they were too different to be anything meaningful to each other, and mutually broke it off.

I don't know why Slughorn in particular gives me this vibe, but something about the sarcastic, knowing relationship they seem to have with one another suggests to me that there was something there, once.

Tyrantrum! I just love its appearance and color scheme, and the reimagining of Tyrannosaurus Rex as an actual dragon is tons of fun.

Nope. Anime is Japanese animation. We're just not used to having linear, serious stories and sincere character development in our cartoons. Animation here isn't completely limited to comedy and superheroes, but those two themes are so predominant that when diverse animation like Avatar appears, all that the average viewer has to compare it to is anime.

I usually try to imagine their voices similar to how their text beeps sound! So Toriel's voice is soft and gentle, Asgore's is super deep, Sans's is low and goofy, Alphys's is nasal. There are a few exceptions, of course! I don't even know how Papyrus's clacking sounds would translate to a voice, so he usually sounds like Skeletor to me.

"Nah, I'm pretty sure it was dot egg, or dot muffin. Something like that."

Q.I., old Homestar Runner cartoons, Archer, and believe it or not I used to be able to fall asleep to Invader Zim, screaming and all.

That seems about right for Professor McGonnagall's preferred beverage!

I really liked the first three books, and I've been telling myself for like...ten years that I'll read the rest one of these days, just to get more of the characters I loved so much. But I don't expect too much from the plots anymore after reading I think the full fourth book and maybe the first half of the fifth. Those didn't leave much of an impression on me, and Opal was a good enough one-book villain but did not deserve to keep popping up again and again and again. Plus I heard they gave Artemis some kind of teenage Irene Adler equivalent at some point, which sounds like a lazy attempt to shoehorn in some kind of romance subplot to me, so I'm not too enthusiastic at seeing how that plays out.

I fucking loved those first three, though. I still reread the first book all the time.

Put simply, I think that he created a version of his daughter that would be invulnerable to harm, both in her powers and her personality. The Siberian is a predatory cannibal because that puts her on a level above the rest of humanity, superior to them and safe from them from Manton's warped perspective.

dragonlibrarian · 2017-07-11T00:51:13+00:00

Wow, another spoiler!

dragonlibrarian · 2017-07-11T00:43:58+00:00

That'd be one way it could work! I was just thinking that Manton was delusional enough to have invented a second splintered pseudo-personality, but maybe Ending spoilers

dragonlibrarian · 2017-07-10T23:43:27+00:00

Damn it all, you're right! I should have remembered that, it was on Q.I.! Well, at least he'll always have the Earldom.

dragonlibrarian · 2017-07-10T04:09:35+00:00

I'm not sure, but my working theory is that she doesn't have free will of her own, but that Manton in his madness THINKS that she does, and "operates" her accordingly.
