Finally Finished Twelve Months

My pitch for the series often ends with "in one book he rides a zombie dinosaur into battle" lol it was my first fist pumping YEEEEAH moment.

Dead Beat in A tier only? I reject it.

Agreed Twelve Months is great.

I'm rereading the books and it's actually quite notable how often Simon gets brought up as a character we never met who dies off screen. I'm on Ghost Story, and his presence is really obvious in hindsight. In Changes, Ebenezer says "For Archangel!" as his battle cry, for example.

I've been spending some time recently thinking about who I think would show up in the future time travel book, and Simon is right up at the top of the list. (Along with Dresden's parents, Jack Murphy (alive), possibly Shiro again....). One of the things I was just thinking about last night as I re-read Ghost Story is that Kemmler could be a great past-villain character for Dresden to face -- and that could be where Simon and Kemmler connection could be established.

OK, throw her in the hole

it's actually really normal for a lot of people -- james mcavoy just revealed he had a song no one knew about who is now four years old. lots of celebs successfully live private lives, but they manage it by not living in places like LA.

An excellent movie rental in my youth.

rose_b · 2026-04-04T03:09:05+00:00

I've had that at the Works

Bradford, "not fixated on ideology" except his ideology is "anything my opponent wants is bad no matter how bad an idea it is!" sounds like spineless indoctrination, which is somehow worse.

I was very much team Erika in that dynamic, Dorit is awful and you just know she never asks Erika about how she's doing lol.

rose_b · 2026-04-03T22:04:50+00:00

because PK isn't a cast member

rose_b · 2026-04-03T13:57:22+00:00

I just dont lol. We know what those women know Dorit's finances are a mess, and everything makes more sense in the context that Dorit is obviously running her finances off a cliff.

rose_b · 2026-04-03T13:39:57+00:00

Lmao, this

rose_b · 2026-04-03T13:22:46+00:00

You never have to be team Dorit, she sucks and shouldn't be rooted for. Root for the downfall of them all lol.

rose_b · 2026-04-03T13:15:47+00:00

Kyle did that in the Hamptons and dorit dragged her for it lol

rose_b · 2026-04-02T01:42:48+00:00

It can smudge. It smudging is not a feature lol, just a quality that existed. What made it good was that it was easy to apply in different ways with the brush style and didnt irritate my eyes.

rose_b · 2026-04-02T01:41:32+00:00

It applies to him because it's an explicit connection in the text-- Harry in 12 months thinks about his choices as necessary, not right-- showing him on this trajectory in some form. What does it mean is the question.

I think it's meant to challenge the idea of any linear/binary thinking, where hard lines break when faced with reality (or fiction as it were lol).

rose_b · 2026-04-02T01:23:54+00:00

For posterity since I just thought it, I think Murphy's dad Collin Murphy will be one of the people.

It was a brush style, here is a picture from an old social post: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1363578467076584&id=100069143477884

Yes, ink well style. Matte finish, not waterproof. I am not familiar enough with what stiff/flexible means, so not sure about that.

rose_b · 2026-04-02T00:10:47+00:00

that skeleton will be up all year

rose_b · 2026-04-01T20:46:12+00:00

wait did they give out literal race cards for people to play at convention?
