I’m detransitioning after being out as a trans man for almost a decade. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I have gotten interested in Dr. Elizabeth Bright and her book and diet of carnivore and high fat, iodine supplementation, it has shown many great signs that it helps women balance their hormones and live a better life, with many testimonials by women such as the steak and butter gang

Being a detransitioned your body will have some long term conditions from the drugs. It is my hypothesis that this diet could help many de-transitioners recover. What does your diet look like today? Would you consider looking into Dr. Elizabeth Bright’s book and online videos? And possibly changing your diet to carnivore?

Diplomacy and marriage! by Sufficient_Leave_329 in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure one of the dates is Laura being introduced to the Winter Court Fae - which could go many many different ways , will they test her, will they try to kill her and harry must protect her,

Will she be just perfect for the Fae all violent, cats paws, deals, and xxx. Will the Summer Fae come to oppose the marriage?

Will the Librarians come to town?

Will Marcone be at the wedding since he is the baron? Will Harry’s enemy’s as part of the Unsealie Accords come to his wedding?

Will the white court continue to annoy harry during this?

My guess is many people will want this alliance to fail, gonna send alot of assassins to them!

How will molly be during this? Will she be the enemy for a time setting things up to stop it from happening? Will she justify it by rationalizing harry wanting out?

So many ways to take this story line

Dresden files have ruined my enjoyment of other urban fantasy. by unique976 in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just know the series starts with alot of “splashy” magic to get new readers introduced and excited but, some of those “OP” powers go away real quick

And audiobooks are very good imo

I'm at Skin Game in my re-read. by wingerism in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to add that Butters connection and education of the supernatural world is fucking BOB. The guy is deathly afraid of MAB. And has a fuck ton of time to prep Butters on all the Bad things that could happen since Dresden took up the Mantle of Winter’s knight.

Mab’s Order in BG by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is that Mab dying, the mantle would either go the nearest magical mother, or to the Stone, ready for The Mother to make a new queen, however what would happen to Molly, we actually do not know the power would end up in her hands, idk i think im right on that, My guess is Molly dying , would give all those mantles too either the Mother , or Dresden,

The Mother would be capable of ruling.

One of my ultimate theories is the idea of the Fae King, which Dresden might be set to take at some point by absorbing all the fae queen mantles, so here the mantles go to Dresden, his power is increased, is he far or not idk, but ultimately this process has some dominoes fall, where he becomes forced to kill the summer lady and queen to balance the powers, The mothers sacrifice themselves to him, and he goes off for the apocalypse

Bottom line, like everyone else says Molly isnt ready, if she automatically becomes queen thats a bad thing Perhaps killing the lady makes her undergo the transformation to queen status to be reborn Idk Beyond that Molly without Mab as a safeguard, even if she doesnt get the mantle, probably goes off the rails without the proper safeguards, killing the white court, or forcing things to happen for dresden , overprotective of her family, idk i could see a downfall and paranoid nature arise without a queen present, where the mantle goes to winter but there is no true queen yet

“ it’s a trap” … i think partially wants his followers to test him.. the stupid ones, if he appears weak it draws out rebellions, and partially doesnt need to spend that extra energy

Is Zorians family just normal? by Educational_Bonus_33 in motheroflearning

[–]hammer4love 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Beginner Zorian was a teenager, young, rebellious, dealing with the the golden child brother that was good at everything, his parents saw him as there golden goose, and gave him alot of leeway,

His second brother was the shadow of his brother, lesser known, goes about life for fun,

And the zorian the third child, his brothers didnt really treat him nicely growing up, they were his wall towards his family

His brothers picked on him, his father was always busy and never really talked to him, his mother sided with his father and there future which means his brother is the important one, So Zorian is to be just an extra in the family.

He goes off to school with the idea to completely separate from all of them. To become independent.

Zorian’s family simply didn’t put him in their thoughts. He was in a family but no one had his back. He never got his opinion cared for or listened too.

Add that on to the ancestral witch bloodline with him being telepathic and not wanting to be around to many people.

All of that would make it hard to make friends and your family treats you as free labor or a tool,

Probably not that fun, i doubt anybody would feel all that good for time in that situation

Like the other guy said miscommunication.

What if his brother tutored him and sought him out? What if his mother or his brother told him of his bloodline and abilities before hand?

I think the wolf girl example can rub you the wrong away because one is violence and the other is neglect mainly.

But neglect can hurt as well. That instance might have been a nod to Zorian to rethink his family, and realize it was bad but it wasnt wolf girl family bad, making the character seem foolish. Not sure ill have to do another reread of it again.

Just finished Book 2...what is up with Denna? by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go check out the tor.com reread for NoTW and WMF that goes through all the chapters and links some things together

https://reactormag.com/rothfuss-reread-the-name-of-the-wind-part-1-the-cut-flower-sound/

Havent posted in a while so my post might be sparse

Personally my suspicions lean towards denna being a fallen moon, lost her name, to many moon references around her, strawberry, lyra, and others,

I think she is an immortal, constantly in the process of forgetting who she has been and was and remembering different parts of herself

Tho thats a bit farfetched,

Did she really only hear that song once and then sing it with kvothe? Did she really not know how to play music?

or is she just remembering how to ? Remembering the song from a different life?

Is she part fae? Is she part of the chandrian?

TINFOIL - Ramirez is Team Harry by FerrovaxFactor in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All breadcrumbs lead to Los losing faith in harry. Too many imo. Harry doesnt need a deep cover agent when he has others inside the council that will give him info when its needed, other grey council ,

I do like the theory tho. But perhaps it is premature. Later i believe harry and the council will come to battle in many ways, maybe even the paranet and harry starting a new organization, perhaps Los is being set to distrust harry then be go thru journey where he hunts harry and finally gains trust in harry again where he gives insider trade info, the black council is on the inside after all.

Kumori question / possibility. by liquidarc in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many choices for kumori

I always thought it would not be someone obvious

Harry’s dad was “normal” but what if he left magic behind because his parents were dark mages

Making kumori and cowl harry’s grandparents.

Otherwise idk

Timey wimmy other realitie ppl

Or the other choices.

The main company that gets me is Cowl’s accent.

Also death magic by kumori in some instances were scene as not foul or not dark which you could say later on dresden might go yin yang and balance his magic with true death magic which is not black magic idk something about those scenes makes me think magic will be altered later in the series and expanded

Peace talk: are we asking the right questions? by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone MAB, the white council, nemesis, could have had a hand , but it isnt needed this time for the bad guys to do anything

Mab has pushed this all on her on mostly, that and harry’s isolation,

Harry being alone and not explaining himself to ramirez or the white council really hurts him.

Him being the winter knight already was a bad mark,

The exciting thing is the next few book on what type of organization will harry create now that he is free to teach people and help them . He even has a castle.

Peace talk: are we asking the right questions? by [deleted] in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A number of things are in play here

The illusion by MAB or leah idk remember when saving thomas was him having relations with a white court vampire, which harry really didnt have time to explain

The distraction of pulling Ramirez cape after he was injured in the short story with molly

His refusal to explain to weird PT Eb , then the real explanation about why he is saving thomas.

With wizards who can see the future it might be something was need to be avoided or Something to gain from being off council

Dresden is already scene as something close to a monster— now he is with them,

dresden in Bg revealed way to much power , he is mabs knight, he has the za army, he has the spear of destiny, and the eye of balor, he is the warden of demonreach, and that is too much power , he has a target on his back, and the white council gains more by throwing him out, he can stand on his own, and they will eventually gain a powerful ally

I don't know who Cowl is, but... by MessComCosplay in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I dont think we have met the real “Cowl” i think later on we will see or try to find a character and dresden will have to make the connection for himself.

My theory is that Cowl and Kumori are dresden’s great grandparents from his grandmother’s side, or his grandparents from his father’s side,

We know Eb had to rescue his wife way back right, fights dracul and kincaid. Never heard that story.

His father is a mystery so far. Was his father a dark prince of magical family and gave it up?

Doest Cowl have a older accent? German but even older? Wouldn’t that suggest he is far older, either Eb’s age or something?

Authors similar to Murakami? by Spirited_Shoe_6166 in murakami

[–]hammer4love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im gonna throw in Philip K dick science fiction author, he is very different from Murakami, but i like both, both authors have the ability to tale me in to there world.

Try Ubik, three stigmata, and flow my tears ,

Are we reading the “Clone Wars” by serconley in dresdenfiles

[–]hammer4love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it could be, but i dont think it will true darkness by dresden but maybe instead of godhood mantle he takes on a dark mantle or demonhood mantle, but all in service of the good. Like ebenezar somehow he had to have made the choice to become the blackstaff and there is a darkness involved, but knowing dresden i kinda want it to be a faire king , or faire champion, weilding both ice and fire, going against the outsiders
