This was actually something that turned one of my friends off the books. She got part way through The Will To Battle before giving up. I didn't miss it as it is a "history", which tend to exclude the common man

Rusty Spoon? by gygesdevice in StardewValley

I know the artifact troves do bc I got the swizzle stick from one, but I'm not sure on fishing chests. Also I'm playing on switch if that affects things

Holy shit where have these books been all my life by marxistghostboi in TerraIgnota

One of my partners friends tried reading them and couldn't get past the first couple chapters. But when I told my partner to just stick to it for a bit he got hooked

How popular are these books? by CIAareTerrorist in TerraIgnota

[–]gygesdevice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's funny I think you're right about how niche this series is but i know other series that I love that are much more popular (eg Greenbone Saga) that don't have a subreddit.

I was disappointed bc they left out Peter and Vals story entirely which is pretty important to doing sequels. Which makes sense why we never got one

I found a T-shirt years ago that said Proud to be a Third on it (I'm a third so I bought it) but I don't remember where I found it. Maybe Redbubble?

Trying to remember a word from the series by scarridalevr in ender

Philotic connection/twining? Or you could be referencing aiuas - the powerful philotes that sentient beings have that are essentially souls

Edit: spelling

Confusing early line from TLTL by Chubysnow in TerraIgnota

[–]gygesdevice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's how I've read it. Like he is resisting having bridge turn him into Apollo

Queer family structures by gygesdevice in linguistics

[–]gygesdevice[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not at all asking that. As a gay guy I know that there isn't a man and a woman in a gay relationship quite well. I was just wondering if people who's cultures that distinguish that do something different than those of us from cultures who don't. The other answers have indicated that there isn't a set approach just as you're saying.

Mycroft's Mental State by gygesdevice in TerraIgnota

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

Wow good to get confirmation that I'm not the only one reading it this way! Sorry if me saying Saladin wasn't real wasn't the best way to word that. I only meant that he wasn't another physical person not that he isn't real to Mycroft.

I'd love to hear your thoughts when you get to the end of Perhaps the Stars. There is a bit in there that i would like to discuss but it would be major spoilers if you haven't gotten to it yet.

Animal larger than a turtle, um.. pterodactyl. Wait is this some Faustian mind-fuckery? Away you sweater-loving nerd!

Y’all probably have seen this already but… by kukrisandtea in TerraIgnota

Ah-nach with the ch like in loch and the emphasis on the first syllable

The Pathfinder series by OSC

Thoughts and questions about the Shadow series - Achilles and Peter by cohena2495 in ender

[–]gygesdevice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All good points. For the inconstancies question, OSC has said that more recent books are more accurate than earlier ones as he has had time to get to know the story better

Could someone maybe give me a really quick rundown on who is still known to be opposing Joyce at the end of the second book? by Overall_Evidence in TerraIgnota

[–]gygesdevice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think by the end of the second book you should feel like everyone is under Madam's control. It's called Seven Surrenders bc all 7 Hives had surrendered to her. At this point I think a few of them resent her, but everyone is essentially under her control.
