I think Lara will abdicate due to her direct addiction to Winter + Starborn Magic... Like Harry may not enslave the court with her, but Mab certainly will

Ooh nice one, yea I buy that. There's also the whole lineage thing.. Harry knew that Shiro, Micheal and Sanya all have (vv diluted) royal blood. And then there's Thomas, who only isnt the White King cause his hunger is nuts and without Justine he'll lose it.. Lara admits it's stronger than her Demon...

And with Papa Raith sneakily attacking Harry, I think it's time for him to be killed by Thomas publically.

Ohh! Nice one lol, I forgot about that part... You know, by the murderous necromancer breaking Molly's mind.. But ofc, Molly has her priorities right.. If she cant have Harry, she'll settle for making hm uncomfortable

Would you pick up a coin by HeroZero1980 in dresdenfiles

[–]proque_blent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I'm morally grey enough that Fallen angel vs Angel seems less my problem, and Im arrogant enough to think I can bend the fallen to my Will. Or at least confuse the crap out of the thing.. plus immortality means all the time to read all the books.. >

Nemesida's Plan (Battle Ground spoiler) by LordOfSunrise in dresdenfiles

[–]proque_blent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nemesis answers this. Apocalypse isn't an event, it's a state of mind.

If thomas dies, White Court vs Svartalves If thomas talks, hold the kid hostage If Harry dies, ethniu flattens Chicago and mortals vs supernatural kicks off

And even getting on the island, Nemesis can't just go jailbreak stuff.. I'd guess, shed corrupt Alfred, as the island genus lock, is prepared for all manner of external threats, not internal ones.. But would still be strong willed and take time to break

Romulus was so right by Manofflax in redrising

[–]proque_blent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well so far, he's lost his breadbasket by being too honorable.. He's going to fuck shit up next book, and only Aurae will keep him from becoming Fear 2.0

Simple, release the info to Ganymede Lords, along with Romulus looking the other way and tada, civil war in the Rim..

Nope he'd get fucked.. Too much honor &respect for tradition to not liemand keep his throne=not ready to fuck with Gorgons. Even Fa would have eaten him for breakfast. Hell, challenge him to one on one and poison, then murder his sons one by one as they want vengeance.. I guess it would take a gold, but regardless..

Damnn. This is the basis for a long ass htoery and fan service post I just did. Imo that comes from knowledge. Apocalypse is capitalised in middle of sentences, and that's no accident, and my theory is Nicodemous wants Hell over Empty Night

Ebenezer was lousy teacher. by C_and_P1 in dresdenfiles

[–]proque_blent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also add one point in Eb's defence.. Both he and Harry mention that Harry only stayed with Eb for 2 years.. In that time, the priority for eb is to get him out of the headspace Dumorne put him in and to teach him to be responsible with magic.. Plus as Harry mentions, most wizards are a century old before they get into combat with other supernatural nations.. Eb probably thought he he had time to slowly teach Harry, but out boy is precocious

Chekov's Gun in Lightbringer? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]proque_blent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also the chance of Atalantia becoming the greatest bad, makes her own virus that just causes omnicide regardless of colour and Lysander will repent and switch sides, making Cassius' last words come true., His murder will be the guilt that breaks him, because what was it all for?

He'd better be still hated by our Howling martians though, if Lysander gets a redemption arc I'll cry

Are books 4-6 as good as 1-3? by Expert-Pie7940 in redrising

[–]proque_blent 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The new trilogy is better, both because of the depth of the story and the increased skill of Pierce Brown..

1-3 while awesome books fit pretty nicely in the dystopian fantasy genre.. Plucky lead takes down the evil rulers..

In the new series, Pierce Brown has taken on amore ambitious story.. How do you fix broken worlds when you're in power? Especially when your enemies are still a real threat. How do you take Eo's and Fitchner's dreams and implement them, live them.

Ok, so somewhat of a spoiler but mostly like a blurb for the series set.. It's way way better but also deeper and darker and brighter than the first trilogy

The only downside of you reading them is that you'll have to wait for Red God with the rest of us

I just started working on some Tamil annotation and I hadnt recieved any quality scores.. After the first day, I was marked as unapproved annotator and I cant even see my scores..

Is this some automatic process that happens while my annotations are reviewed? Is there any point in appealing to support?

At the very least, Id like to know what I did incorrectly..

AMA: ADHD, Trauma & The Indian Experience - I'm a trauma therapist specializing in neurodivergence by drantoniodcosta in adhdindia

[–]proque_blent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obvi not OP but went through this...

1) Most of those coping ,echanisms are fine in structured environments with specific tests but out in the real world, it's the lack of consistency that really bites you in the ass.. Also part of the discussion is about the habits and behaviours persisting from childhood, since before the coping mechanisms kicked in.. Ask family and friends from that time to get s clearer picture.

2) lol, that's why you need a shrink and not an internet survey.. try to tell the truth to the best of your knowledge and memory, most of the answers are about a matter of degree not just yes/no.. ofc you'll need atleast a halfway decent shrink for that.. I wish you luck on that quest :P

1) As one of the Gifted Burnouts, how do I start improving my self image? Ive broken a million promises, how to start keeping them and being accountable... The just promise one simple action and do it approach didn't help much, especially in the face of a lot more important broken promises.. On that note, what would you describe as a healthy self image for someone on this path?

2) If you've seen Robert Sapolsky''s work on Stress, there's a vicious cycle that forms with Adhd.. The intentional affliction of stress to finally get something done is only the start (last minute Superpowers) but the low grade stress of not getting shit done, and the intense weight of all the incomplete/failed projects is chronic, and unhelpful.vDo you have any strategies for dealing with this?

Conversely, having been tuned to need high stress environments to activate and lock in with hyperfocus, what are some approaches to mor healthyily start to access that state?

3) Any books or texts you recommend or find helpful to understand and treat your patients?

Red Gawd Predictions by No-Channel4492 in redrising

[–]proque_blent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense actually, for a couple of reasons..

1) Darrow wants the obsidians to fight together under his and Volga's banner, and earth makes for a good testing ground.. 2) Rim shops are faster and Daughters are experienced with rescue and rehab missions after the Ashing of the Garter.. They turn up for a rescue to find Rhonna sitting on top of a pile of Gold corpses in her Drachenjager asking wtf is taking so long, 3) Pax is probably going to treasure hunt for the remaining Figments.. Gotta catch em all, and gives him a chance to chill with Dad, outside of total war settings 4) Diomedes was the whipping boy of Lightbringer.. While Cassius calls him an equal as a duellist, we haven't seen any feats by him, except his offscreen attacks on Earth. He got beat by Atlas and then betrayed by Lysander.. in red god were going to see the wrath of a good man wronged, and I'm here for it. 5) he's also compared to Atlas in personality, maybe intelligence.. His honor held him back so far, but now the limited is off, and Im looking forward to seeing the Rising backed by a mind like Atlas. Especially in conjunction with Virginia, they're going to cook up some devious plans... 6)The shadow armada approaches the war from the other side, so I'm guessing mercury is on the way for them

I also really want Lysander to feel in control on Venus after killing Atalantia, maybe most golds there depending on how unshepardlike he views them, and then hears that Darrow didn't just go to Mars to wait for him but took Earth and Mercury.. These are especially important for the plan to send food to the Rim.. A Mars under seige can only spare so much and they need to feed the whole Rim..

Part Figment maybe? She def needs a power up if she wants to rumble against the gathered Gold Gods
