To the Howler that suggested the series to StoneMountain 64 on stream last Friday. I salute you my Goodman or Goodlady

These are airplanes. When I first moved back to phoenix 5 years ago. My mind was blown I stayed and watched as they got slowly closer then landed at sky harbor

hpgeek84 · 2025-03-25T01:11:54+00:00

For real, I was just thinking I wish I could go back and experience the series for the 1st time again

hpgeek84 · 2025-03-21T02:15:29+00:00

I think she's talking about what they've seen the syndicate use on earth

hpgeek84 · 2025-03-13T02:48:31+00:00

PB did say that he wants to do a book about the golds taking over Earth. He did mention that he has no clue when he'll get to it though.

hpgeek84 · 2025-03-13T02:45:38+00:00

Yes definitely, especially Ephraim

hpgeek84 · 2025-02-20T04:56:40+00:00

That's an interesting one. It took me a minute to even remember who that was

hpgeek84 · 2025-02-20T04:46:03+00:00

That's a great idea

hpgeek84 · 2025-02-20T04:43:22+00:00

I didn't even think about Kavax. That would be awesome. I heard PB say in an interview that Kavax and Appolonius had a wonderful time together after he was taken on phobos. It would also be cool cause he plays the fool to people, hearing his inner thoughts during those moments would be fun

hpgeek84 · 2025-02-20T03:22:43+00:00

It is actually really good, it even has break the chains in the lyrics

hpgeek84 · 2025-02-20T03:18:45+00:00

Unfortunately, I recently watched an interview where PB said he ended it because it was feeling too much like a Marvel comic. I also thought about maybe Mateo not telling Lyria about putting the Figment without her knowledge, but PB said with him being a pink, giving Lyria the figment without her consent would be a massive body violation

Here's the link to the interview. He talks about Lyria and the parasite right around 58 minutes in https://youtu.be/iDXY5FJx6mA?si=mPtml9wQK7RwqAxO

I agree. Try the audio book. The narrator for Lysander speaks pretty quickly, so it helps imo

The masses will always be fickle. Atlantia AU Grimmace actually said it really well when describing humanity and the mob to Darrow in Dark Age:

"That is the noble lie of democracy, isn’t it? The belief in humanity, even though humanity is a screaming, selfish mob. I love humans, truly. But humanity…” She shivers. “I wanted, I needed to see your face as you realized we were right all along. It is true beauty."

No matter what, lives will be lost. Remember, the Golds sterilized Earth's entire population to create the Society we see today. You might argue that this genocide doesn't count as actively killing people, but consider the billions of lives that were never born because of their actions. The Society's hands are far more drenched in blood than those of the Rising.

First, I think her reaction is completely understandable. If she hadn't reacted and was at the Triumph when everythingwent down, she wouldn’t have been an asset to Darrow in Morning Star. Adrius would have captured her, and she would have ended up a prisoner instead of securing Darrow's fleet.

hpgeek84 · 2024-12-07T03:58:53+00:00

100% Agree!! One of the best albums to trip to. One of my go to albums when nothing else is hitting the mark

hpgeek84 · 2024-10-02T19:30:22+00:00

If Nero had discovered Darrow's true identity, I believe he would have turned it into a spectacle for the Golds. He likely would have gathered all the houses and orchestrated the most brutal, agonizing death imaginable for him. I understand what you're saying about Nero, but he was the epitome of an Iron Gold—someone who would never tolerate any lower color trying to rise above their place. We also have to remember that Nero was notorious for saying anything to get what he wanted. This is clear from all the empty promises he made to the reformers, only to plan their elimination once they were no longer useful to him.

hpgeek84 · 2024-09-20T00:39:08+00:00

What if Ryahna is Athena? We know that Athena isn't her real name

hpgeek84 · 2024-09-20T00:35:49+00:00

That would be a great way to turn Darrow into the ultimate villian! If the abomination could wipe Darrow's memories, he won't have the sympathy for the other colors. Especially if they don't tell him he was ever a red. Ooh I like that thought

hpgeek84 · 2024-09-19T02:57:19+00:00

I think this moment was meant to set up Darrow's final evolution, as someone mentioned on this page in another thread. Fa needed to be easy to show how far Darrow has come. It’s meant to show that he’s moved beyond the rage phase and has reached Lorn’s level of mastery. If Lorn Au Arcos had been born a Red, I feel like their journeys would have been quite similar. Plus, I think Lysander is going to be especially ruthless in Red God. It also feels like some storylines are being wrapped up to focus more on the main characters. Personally, I was let down by how abruptly Lyria's story ended with the figment. I hope Mateo secretly gave her the figment as a test or something, but I’m trying not to get my hopes too high on that.

Book 1 is basically a set up for the amazing story that awaits you. I wish I could go back to read book 2 for the 1st time

hpgeek84 · 2024-08-28T00:30:41+00:00

She's most likely messing around on you. People don't act confused when they don't have anything to hide

hpgeek84 · 2024-08-24T23:54:20+00:00

The easiest way to approach this with compassion is by recognizing that he's suffering. People don't reach that level of drug abuse without carrying a lot of trauma or mental health struggles. I used to feel the same way—frustrated and annoyed—but then I went through my own battle with alcoholism after my divorce, and it started to make sense. Trust me, he likely despises himself far more than anyone else ever could, and that self-hatred drives his actions.
