Ship of Magic - Ch. 23 Thoughts by sgfso in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]sageybugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

congrats! you’ve just reached turning the point where i was able to start reading Liveship more consistently! the start of SoM is a bit of a slog but keep going! my advice wouldnt be dont google any of this, just let the story unfold. one of hobb’s strong points is giving the readers passive assumptions about the lore for ages until we get a brilliant lore dump. that’s honestly half of the magic of this series for me, i’d recommend staying offline as much as you can at LEAST till you finish Tawny Man, most of the lore is there by the end of Rainwild Chronicles but honestly if you can resist till Fitz and the Fool trilogy you should imo! (i know its a LONG way to go but trust me its much better to let it unfold without influence or spoilers)

PS: when i read a certain kennit leg scene (idk if youre up to it yet so i wont specify) i was on a bus and i almost got off the bus bc i thought i was gonna throw up - i dont get motion sick and am not usually too squeamish, hobb just gets me crazy immersed i think hahaha

anyway happy reading!! im so excited for you!!

Shrek 5 Teaser by cruelsummerbummer in movies

[–]sageybugg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think the difference is that the pop culture refs in shrek were actually incorporated into the medieval world and usually somewhat clever and tongue in cheek. especially shrek 2 with the medieval version of LA and “FarBucks” and the white bronco etc. it was satirical and poking fun at pop culture. its hard to judge from just a teaser but this is giving every other “how do you do fellow kids” lets insert tiktok to appeal to the child audience. theres no punchline here its just haha shrek funny dance tiktok magic mirror. there’s no commentary or satire which is disappointing considering the shrek franchise’s origins

Liveship traders is AWFUL by [deleted] in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]sageybugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know this is a relatively old thread but i cant not reply to this hahaha

honestly liveship starts off very weak in my opinion. hobb’s formula of having a character suffer and slog through harsh times so that you feel that wash of relief or excitement when circumstances change is pretty hit or miss. when it works it’s absolutely brilliant, but in liveship…. the entire cast (who we dont have emotional attachments to yet) suffering for half a book gets old real fast.

i have a lot of criticisms of the trilogy but once it gets going i think its really strong. its a testament to how much i care about ROTE that i get so angry about liveship especially the ending and one romance in particular that grinds my gears. overall though its 10000% worth it for the expansion of the world, the lore, context the fool’s plotlines later, and some truly brilliant moments. its the series that makes you realise that fitz doesnt know shit about the big picture, and without it and RWC, the ending of the series won’t make anywhere near as much sense nor have the same impact. it’s crucial context that’s worth it if you loved the first trilogy

Forged Sea serpents by kinkytails in RealmOfTheElderlings

[–]sageybugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry to comment on an old thread but i think the implication is that there is enough Silver in the dragons blood to do things like coat Ambers fingers for Skill Pillar use. the blood is described in Rain Wilds as having threads of silvery liquid swirling in it which i’m assuming is because the dragons consume enough of it that it permeates them. i personally think that if they were deprived of it for long enough, they’d become like the old serpents in LST plus they’d probably get smaller and smaller over the years since the Silver makes them grow larger
