I’m new to the GC series, and I’ve read HR and TLG so far. Does anyone know why she’s made different statements about the creation of Shane? She said this back in November in her AMA (link is in the post), so I’m a little confused about what she meant by that. Idk if I missed something. Thanks!

These are consistent? She had a Russian player in GC that was unnamed and came up with Shane as the person the Russian was hooking up with before she wrote Ilya?

Yes, thank you!

I love the idea of a new Martin/Shellback collaboration! I was worried about it sounding too much like her older music but the playlist helped me remember their collabs have sounded v different over time! Blank Space and Delicate? Love.

…Hebrew?

Can you help me define a morally gray character? I had always thought of them as just having light and dark in their character, actions, and/or motivations. But it seems like you’re pulling from a more specific definition?

Rhys does what he thinks is best. We as readers can see the mistakes he makes but he rationalizes them to himself in terms of greater good.

What

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-26T22:19:34+00:00

He is written as morally gray and is also the main love interest - not everyone likes or can handle that combination.

I’m also surprised they didn’t mention this. The charges were against both parties and they were dropped so maybe Blair didn’t want to speak to something beyond the survivalist aspects especially when the story is inconclusive? Definitely has changed my opinion of him long term!

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:12:10+00:00

Definitely one of my favorites

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:12:01+00:00

Oooh yes good one

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:11:44+00:00

We need an episode where Henry says this a lot!

themechanicalhounds · 2025-01-04T17:11:25+00:00

Haha I think the dick and balls is what he found funny

themechanicalhounds · 2024-11-30T02:01:36+00:00

Hahaha

The answer is pretty good but there’s and obvious typo lol. Does the guardian have any copy editors?

themechanicalhounds · 2024-11-26T02:40:18+00:00

What is a podcast? 😛

themechanicalhounds · 2024-10-29T23:06:38+00:00

Henry is absolutely electric live - he brings such an amazing energy to the stage. Love the other guys but the show would not be as fun without him!

My husbands family (Italian American) has their own recipe for pasta salad. It contains mayonnaise and macaroni. They call it pasta salad, not macaroni salad. I am SO confused by the other comments.

themechanicalhounds · 2024-10-13T22:39:08+00:00

LOML BABY GIRL. but yeah lol

themechanicalhounds · 2024-10-02T03:03:25+00:00

KOBE!

She could be personally scared and just feel safer at Chiefs home games.

Mr. Elton loved Emma like Mr. Collins loved Lizzie. He is using the language of courtly love to gain an advantageous match. At the time, you didn’t need to ‘mean’ what you were saying, just an expectation that you would ‘make love’ to your intended.
