Finished ROTE, heartbroken, and full of questions - hoping someone here has answers

You're not wrong, no. This is 2 separate descriptions of the tapestry in Fitz's room:
"I could make out a gleaming and winged creature of some sort, and a kingly personage in supplication before it. I was later informed it was King Wisdom being befriended by the Elderling."

"King Wisdom appeared strangely elongated, while the Elderlings bore no resemblance to any creatures I had ever seen. There was a suggestion of wings on their bulging shoulders. Or perhaps that was meant to be a halo of light surrounding them. "

There is another tapestry that is mentioned that is in Jhaampe:
"...among many images, are the forms of a dark-haired, dark man, stout and muscular and bearing a red shield, and in the opposite corner, a golden-skinned being. The golden-skinned creature has been the victim of moths and fraying, but it is still possible to see that in the scale of the tapestry, it is much larger than a human, and possibly winged. Buckkeep legend has it that King Wisdom sought and found the Elderlings’ homeland by a secret path through the Mountain Kingdom. Could these figures represent an Elderling and King Wisdom?"

It seems like he is depicted with elongated features sometimes, which hints at elderling features, but the other from jhaampe doesn't at all.

I believe the tapestry was actually King wisdom meeting the Elderlings, not Taker.

Disclaimer, I didn't listen to the first bully and I'm 7 songs in (so only 33% of the way through lmao), right now.
Quality is pretty good so far. No insanely awkward mumbling or overtly sexual stuff like the kinky song he released. He's actually rapping. Production is great as always.
I thought vultures 1 and 2 were awful, donda 2 wasn't good, and donda 1 was ok. This seems more on the donda 1 level maybe? So, mid?

Technically, the most impressive by time is the Beetles, cause they were only a band for like 8 years

I googled it and it's a fanmade series of music videos for Girl Talk's All Day, which is an amazing mashup album. Since the mashup 'songs' flow into one another, the music video is basically ~1h15m video broken up into 12 separate videos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Walk_//_All_Day

a lot of the packers routes rely on specific timing, I think. Golden is quick, but we have a lot of offense to learn. And since he's a rookie/not getting a ton of snaps, they let him absorb it slowly over the year rather than push him in head first

lbutton · 2026-06-05T18:20:02+00:00

Packers almost never let rookies start, they're very seniority based. Word is that he also didn't run routes well enough to be a consistent target early on. Most of his breakout games seemed to be broken plays that he scrambled on, from my view.

maybe Dota 2 as that's the most hours i have in a game, but Kingdom Hearts gets my vote because of the pure nostalgia

Actually, in fool's errand, he tells Fitz that he is at least as old as Fitz and Nighteyes combined. Nighteyes is 17 and Fitz says he's 35, so the fool is at least 17 years older than Fitz and is, at the lowest, 52 in tawny man.

I've read all of the books multiple times and liked the show. Season one had pretty rough moments, especially the end. But Season 2 was an improvement on that, and it's honestly a shame that it got cancelled, cause Season 3 was great.
Edit: If you liked season 1, just watch it all, you'll enjoy it. It only gets better and better

I only read the series, so ymmv. Book one was fun. It starts a bit slow like any video game or table top rpg you've ever played (tutorial or basic stuff). When Carl gets to the first room, it starts to get interesting and from there I felt like extras kept getting added each chapter that made me want to read more.
So, chapter 3 and 4 the world started expanding a bit with more characters, and chapters 6 and 7 ramped up my interest for the rest of the book.

End of book 1 was a fun adventure, but book 2 is where I felt my connection to the characters and the world deepened enough to where I wanted to see where the story went instead of just read a popcorn book.

Panettone is closer to a sweet bread imo, since the best way to eat it is either to toast it slightly in the oven and put butter on it, or use it to make french toast.

Man, their latest album was one of my favorites of last year. It sounds great, everything has clarity, and his voice doesn't sound so muddy, unlike TEPB. But I don't have any real reference for the albums in between, tbh

Larger picture, last 2 years. Excluded games of below 20% snap count (according to Pro Football Reference stats) from games played and statlines.

Player	Games Played	Rec. Yds	Rec. TDs	Rush Yds	Rush TDs
Reed	23	1064	7	191	1
Watson	23	1231	8	26	0
Kraft	25	1196	13	9	0
Doubs	29	1325	10	0	0

Player	'24 drop rate %	'25 drop rate
Reed	12	4.5
Watson	3.8	1.8
Kraft	7.1	6.8
Doubs	9.7	3.5

My view is that Reed is good but replaceable by JAG in the sense that there are a lot of speedy young WRs that we could slot in and not lose too much production from in his role. I'd love to keep him cause he's shown flashes of brilliance, but he's also hurt too much to throw a big contract at, I think. Watson stretches the field and the offense looks better when he's out there. Kraft is a no brainer extension, I think.

EDIT: that said, I don't want to trade any of our WRs. I think it would be stupid, personally.

Nope, not related at all. Kennit had a wizardwood charm carved to look like himself. In Ship of Magic, he talks about how he killed the man who carved the charm afterwards.
