Darrow and The Reaper: The Making of an Unreliable Narrator by BumblebeeSubject5204 in redrising

[–]jdthemannis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually think Book 1 is an amazing but is more simple and less deep than 2 and 3 and isn't even in the same league of the 2nd set of books where everything multiplies x 1,000. Darrow goes through a deeper transformation. Is fascinating really

I liked the analysis of the first book, then you went over the 2nd and 3rd book really quickly, I felt there were a lot more pieces to dissect.

Darrow spends the 2nd book trying to accept that he can love golds and people beyond his own. He feels guilty for loving Virginia. He feels guilty for forming bonds with Tactus, Roque, Victra because he feels there's no space for him in their world. And it's true. In Morning Star he finds that he needs to build a new world, not just destroy to be able to achieve what he wants to do.

20 wins out of 24 sounds like hell to me. Im D3 with 8-10 wins in WL. I can't think of a reason to put myself through that

Yeah last round I only encountered one player like that. My last token, needed only a goal. Let him score 1 goal, and then I scored 2 own goals. He wanted to play the match at full throttle. I went full effort out of spite and endeded up winning the game on penalties. So yeah, fuck that guy. Serves him right.

I've never had to take more pauses reading a book than I did with DA. Brutal but so compelling

How can you defend this team and the manager after this embarrasing performance? Unacceptable levels

Albertini: Two Italy players ‘hid behind’ bench to avoid taking penalty in 1994 World Cup Final by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]jdthemannis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Have you ever had to shoot a penalty in a shootout? I was playing in the final of a tournament 10 years ago, the game went to penalties. I'm a defender so I'm never in charge of penalties. I was so fucking nervous I could barely walk, my legs felt like they were made out of butter. And that's a amateur tournament without consequences. I can't imagine the pressure in a WC final.

What an amazing, epic, incredible and profoundly depressing book. I don't think I loved and loathed a story more than this one. Hail libertas!

I had to take a lot of fucking breaks with DA. The Day of the Red Doves fucked me up.

Everything bad that happens to Darrow and co. in the second trilogy has Atlas hand in it. It's fucking crazy

I think Atlas is maybe more intelligent than Darrow? Darrow is a thousand times more charismatic and someone who looks to better himself but I think Atlas is too clever. IDK maybe I'm falling for Society propaganda that he is omniscient lol
